It’s true: There’s no place like home for the holidays, and that includes the world of online football betting. Home teams went 10-6 SU and ATS during Week 13 of the NFL season, taking full advantage of banged-up, road-weary opponents. Home dogs were especially tasty at 5-5 SU and 7-3 ATS.
Even colder conditions are in store for the NFL this week, starting Thursday night in the Forest City.
The National Football League will head north of the border to Toronto for its 14th week of football betting action where BetUS customers will get a chance to wager on Sunday’s game between the Miami Dolphins (7-5, 5-7 ATS) and the Buffalo Bills (6-6, 5-7 ATS).
An old rivalry will be renewed Sunday afternoon at Heinz Field when the AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS) host the Dallas Cowboys (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS). Dallas has been on fire since the return of Pro Bowl QB Tony Romo, winning its last three games for NFL bettors both SU and by the pro football odds.
The NFC playoff picture will get a lot clearer on Sunday afternoon, and two teams with aspirations of joining the final 12 teams standing en route to the Super Bowl will hook up in the Superdome when the New Orleans Saints (6-6, 8-4 ATS) host the Atlanta Falcons (8-4, 8-4 ATS).
The trio of games featured in this week’s NFL sports betting preview all have one thing in common: A lack of control.
The New York Giants can’t control the off-field activities of their players (see: loaded gun in pants), the Buffalo Bills can’t control where they play their home games, and the Dallas Cowboys can’t control the weather when they don’t.
