Second place in the AFC North will be on the line at M&T Bank Field on Sunday afternoon when the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4, 3-7 ATS) visit the Baltimore Ravens (5-5, 6-4 ATS). Both teams suffered bad losses last week, as Baltimore is coming off of a 17-15 defeat at the hands of the perfect Indianapolis Colts, while the Steelers lost a painful 27-24 decision at Kansas City.
Two of the top offenses in the NFL get it on for a Monday Night Football betting battle between the New England Patriots (7-3, 5-4-1 ATS) and the New Orleans Saints (10-0, 7-3 ATS). This could reasonably be the last huge hurdle between the Saints and an undefeated regular season. The Patriots still look to be picking up the pieces from their miserable loss in Indianapolis two weeks ago in their quest to prove that they are the top team in the NFL.

BetUS NFL Football odds: MIAMI -3, Total 40
I think if you look at it a certain way, it is difficult to reconcile laying to many points with the Miami Dolphins in this road situation, because of the fact that its offense, by its very nature, isn’t the type that is going to explode and put a lot of distance between itself and its opponents, and Miami is just 5-5 ATS in the NFL sportsbook odds.
Michigan State Spartans (4-0 SU, 1-2 ATS) vs. Florida Gators (4-0 SU, 2-1 ATS)

Three weeks ago Notre Dame was 6-2 and if they won out, were looking at a possible BCS at-large berth. Now, after three consecutive losses, it looks as if Charlie Weis is going to be fired at the end of this season, and possibly after this game if the Irish don’t win.

Kansas has been one of the most disappointing teams this season. I, like a lot of people had them penciled in for at least an eight-win year.

If it weren’t for Charlie Weis and Mark Mangino’s troubles, Bulldogs coach Mark Richt may be on the hottest seat in college football. After beginning the season ranked 13th in the AP poll. The Bulldogs are 6-5 and staring at one of the worst seasons in recent memory in Athens.

Licking our NFL betting wounds after Thanksgiving dinged us (Hello? Giants? What happened?), we have a chance for immediate redemption with a new parlay for the weekend. Try these NFL picks.
Yes, I’m a bit of an animal lover. I’m partial to dogs more than cats. Not because dogs can fetch the newspaper, but because they can fetch the money. Many times dogs can be worth a serious look, especially in college football where emotion, tradition and fan support are such key components.

NFL betting players may want to jump over to the college side for this weekend as “Rivalry Week” heads into its second week. The top three teams in the country are all in action, and they should be able to escape unscathed in your sports betting book.
Among the surprise teams in the NFL this season so far, the biggest among them for me has been the Cincinnati Bengals, no more victims of some of the less than flattering nicknames they have been tagged with in the recent past.
NFL betting fans will spend as much time at their sportsbook as they will at the dinner table on Thanksgiving Thursday but they’re not alone. Hockey fans have a couple of games to bet on that night, the most intriguing of which is the Kings-Canucks matchup. Let’s break it down.
Los Angeles Kings @ Vancouver Canucks
Thursday, November 26, 10:00 p.m. ET
How about those Los Angeles Kings? They were a popular preseason pick to become the breakout team of 2009-10 and they haven’t disappointed sportsbook bettors. If you did your homework, you knew a similar breakout to the Penguins and Blackhawks’ recent resurgences was in the cards for L.A. The reason: the Kings stockpiled picks and prospects and cultivated so much young talent that it was only a matter of time before the losses turned to wins.
The Kings are back. Anze Kopitar has blossomed in the NHL’s scoring leader; Drew Doughty is becoming a workhorse on the blueline with superstar status on the horizon. The Kings have physicality and offensive talent up front from Justin Williams and Dustin Brown. Hard to believe future stars like center Brayden Schenn, goalie Jonathan Bernier and defender Thomas Hickey aren’t even with the big club yet.
For the Kings’ Thursday night matchup at Vancouver, however, the good news ends there. The Kings recently lost Ryan Smyth to injury and may be without Jarret Stoll tomorrow night too. Each of those guys brings veteran leadership and depth – especially Smyth. This month, L.A. has come back to Earth slightly. It still pummels weak teams but Chicago, Calgary and Philadelphia all had their way with the Kings this month. L.A. also plays Wednesday night in Edmonton too and thus won’t have a ton of gas in the tank for Vancouver.
The Canucks, on the other hand, haven’t played yet this week. That rest is great news for Daniel Sedin, who is just one game into his return from a broken foot. The extra days off should have him ready to click with brother Henrik again (and probably with Alex Burrows). Reuniting Daniel and Henrik means the Canucks can now ice a second effective scoring line – let’s say a Samuelsson/Kesler/Raymond unit for illustration’s sake. That top six may skate circles around a tired Kings defense corps.
The Canucks haven’t set the world on fire this season but they’re healthy again and they’re 8-3 at GM Place this season. Their hockey odds are solid for Thursday.
Sports betting pick: Canucks
The noose gets tighter and tighter for the six undefeated teams this Thanksgiving week. Four of then take on winning opponents that will be looking to exact revenge from losses last year. How many of the half-dozen will remain perfect? Stay tuned.
A – Ageless. Brett Favre just keeps getting it done. I fully expected him to be disappointing this year – last season with the Jets all over again. Instead, you don’t even have to exaggerate to say that he is probably playing the best football of his career.
