Underdogs continued to clean up for bettors last week in the NFL, as the favorites bombed again with a 6-7 ATS record. If those NFL betting trends are going to continue this week bettors need to pay close attention to the NFL betting odds.
Ok, it’s not so much that these two teams are awful; it’s just that they’re underachieving at an alarming rate. The Patriots squeezed by the hapless Niners last weekend, while the Chargers lost to – gasp! – the Dolphins. But hey, it’s not like the Patriots didn’t get their asses handed to them by the riley Fins either, right?
For the second time this year, the New Orleans Saints lost a game because of their kicker. I hate to point out Martin Grammatica’s faults, but, seriously, he can’t make a 46 yarder in a dome? Come on, Martin. It was absolutely ridiculous how the Saints committed nine penalties in the first half of their Monday night loss versus the Minnesota Vikings.
The two best teams in the NFC South square off in a key divisional game. The Panthers currently lead the NFC South by a game. If the Bucs win, they force a tie. But, can the Bucs win? Against the BetUS online NFL wagering spread, the Bucs haven’t been terrible this season but for the first time this year they might have to contend with adversity.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks after reeling from three straight losses. First, it was the Dallas Cowboys. Then, it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Finally, they just dropped a game versus the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday at home.
Despite posting a respectable 7-5 record with all of my Week 5 NFL selections in the BetUS Locker Room on Sunday, football bettors need to take into consideration several eye-opening facts about a handful of teams heading into Week 6.
Let’s get to some of the more interesting happenings on Sunday!
The online BetUS Sportsbook hasn’t released online NFL odds on this game just yet. I do believe that what I have listed below is what’s going to happen in this game. One of the reasons I am so confident is the fact that both the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers have become mirror images of each other when it comes to winning against the BetUS online wagering spread.
The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a rematch of one of last season’s best playoff games. The Jags went into Pittsburgh last year and upset the AFC North champions. The Steelers haven’t forgotten that loss. Even though the Steelers record is 3 and 1 straight-up, their record versus the BetUS online sportsbook betting spread has been awful this season.
Both the Ravens and the Titans have gotten off to good starts this NFL season. The Ravens dropped a game just this past Monday night versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a game that the Ravens should have probably won. Turnovers in the second half killed them in that one.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have proven that even though a lot of things have changed in the NFL this season, some things have stayed the same. Tampa plays defense like no other team in the NFL. They are a group of young, ball-hawking, tough guys led by middle linebacker Barrett Rudd.
The San Diego Chargers needed a miracle fourth quarter in order to beat the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday. The Raiders were up by fifteen points going into that fourth quarter. They gave up twenty-five.
The Redskins and Eagles meet in a key match-up this Sunday with the Redskins a half game behind the New York Giants for the NFC East lead. The Redskins, after that first week loss to the Giants, have been absolutely fantastic since.
While Week 4 in the NFL provided some interesting ‘upsets’ I thought the week played out pretty much like I expected – and predicted – for my beloved NFL Sportsbook betting fanatics.
The NFL wasn’t short of drama on Sunday as two major upsets caused some football betting fans reeling. Other teams solidified their status as terrific worthy playoff contenders while some seemingly up and comers were brought back down to earth.
Sunday Night Football Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Chicago to take on the Bears in a game that should interest a lot of NFL betting fans. Both the Eagles and Bears appear much improved from last season when neither team made the playoffs. The Eagles in particular look like one of the better teams in the NFL this year.
It’s only the fourth week of the NFL Season and already it’s a must win for the New York Jets. The Jets looked very good in their first game of the season, a win and cover against the BetUS online wagering spread versus the Miami Dolphins, but have dropped two games in a row.
