The New England Patriots (7-5 SU, 6-6 ATS, 5-6-1 O/U) were embarrassed in their last game, getting routed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a 1-point home favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Seattle Seahawks (2-10 SU, 4-7-1 ATS, 5-7 O/U) have dropped five straight games while failing to cover the spread for NFL sports betting backers in three of those contests.
The ACC will crown its champion on Saturday afternoon, and sports betting fanatics will have another chance to boost their bankrolls with BetUS Sportsbook when the Boston College Eagles (9-3, 7-4 ATS) clash with the Virginia Tech Hokies (8-4, 4-7 ATS) from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
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.

Missouri vs. Oklahoma
Jack Jones
I really wanted to pull the trigger here on Oklahoma but that is a lot of points to be laying to a Missouri team that is playing the next best thing to a home game there at Arrowhead in Kansas City.

Charlotte Bobcats vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Jimmy Boyd
Charlotte is just 1-4 on the road this season and after back-to-back wins for the first time all year, I’m expecting a letdown on the road tonight. Milwaukee has dominated this series, winning 12 of the last 15 overall and 6 of the last 7 at home.

Toronto Raptors vs. Utah Jazz
Matt Fargo
Injuries are a big concern for the linesmakers here but that is all on the Utah side and that is the reason for the delayed line coming out. Toronto is coming off a rout in Denver and not on the right side. It was bad enough to get head coach Sam Mitchell fired despite winning the NBA Coach of the Year award just two seasons ago.

Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Dave Price

What the heck was that? Louisville was the No. 3-ranked team in the country, and a popular early choice to be a No. 1 seed in March. They have four established guards, a near-certain lottery pick in forward in Earl Clark, and last year’s High School Player of the Year at center.
With all of the talk of a playoff in college football, Saturday’s SEC Championship Game from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta is likely a play-in game to the BCS National Championship. BetUS Sportsbook members will have all of their sports betting options available for one of the most anticipated games of the season when the Alabama Crimson Tide (12-0, 9-3 ATS) face off with the Florida Gators (11-1, 9-2 ATS).
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8 SU, 3-9 ATS) have had a hard time of it this year, and on Sunday things don’t get easier as they take on the Chicago Bears (6-6 SU, 5-6-1 ATS), who are fighting for their playoff lives, in NFL pro football sports betting action that is scheduled for a 1 PM ET kickoff at Soldier Field (natural turf) in Chicago.
The footballs should be flying on Saturday when the East Carolina Pirates (8-4 SU, 4-8 ATS) challenge the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (10-2 SU, 7-4 ATS) for the Conference USA title, in NCAA college football sports betting action that is scheduled to get underway at Noon ET at Chapman Stadium (artificial turf) in Tulsa, OK.
The USC Trojans (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS) can earn a trip to the Rose Bowl on Saturday if they can score a victory over the UCLA Bruins (4-7 SU, 6-5 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action in the Pac-10 Conference that is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM ET at the Rose Bowl (natural turf) in Pasadena, CA.
Two teams who are very familiar with each other will battle for the ACC title for the second year in a row when the Boston College Eagles (9-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) and the Virginia Tech Hokies (8-4 SU, 4-7 ATS) clash for a spot in the Bowl Championship Series, in NCAA college football sports betting action that is slated for kickoff at 1 PM ET Saturday at Raymond James Stadium (natural turf) in Tampa.
The Oklahoma Sooners (11-1 SU, 9-2 ATS) take what they hope will be the final step on the road to the BCS national championship game when they take on the Missouri Tigers (9-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) with the Big 12 title on the line, in NCAA college football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 8 PM ET on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium (natural turf) in Kansas City.
The Atlanta Falcons (8-4 SU & ATS), angling for a playoff spot, get to put a nail in the coffin of the New Orleans Saints (6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS) when the two NFC South rivals meet up at the Louisiana Superdome (artificial turf) in New Orleans. Kickoff time is 1 PM ET.
