Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints (+3)
Last week, the Carolina Panthers were playing for the right to clinch the top seeding in the NFC. This week, if they lose, they can fall all the way down to the No. 5 seed in the conference.
The Panthers take their potent running game on the road to New Orleans as they try to topple a team that doesn’t have anything to play for. The Saints have been eliminated from postseason contention and aren’t playing for much more than pride and Drew Brees’ record.
The Cleveland Browns (4-11 SU, 6-8-1 ATS, 6-8-1 O/U) have been money in the bank for BetUS NFL sports betting fanatics that have wagered against them five weeks. The dysfunctional Browns look to close out their 2008 regular season on a high note when they visit their longtime division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-4 SU, 8-7 ATS, 8-7 O/U) on Sunday at Heinz Field.
The Tennessee Titans (13-2 SU, 12-3 ATS, 8-7 O/U) are coming off their biggest win of the season as they get prepared fro what they hope will be an extended postseason run.

The New York Giants (12-3 SU, 11-4 ATS, 8-6-1 O/U) rebounded nicely from consecutive defeats in its most important game of the season, covering the spread for BetUS NFL sports betting enthusiasts as an added bonus. The Minnesota Vikings (9-6 SU, 6-9 ATS, 9-6 O/U) on the other hand, failed to win its biggest game of the season last week and blew their chances to reach the postseason with Chicago’s win on Monday night.
The St. Louis Rams (2-13 SU, 5-10 ATS, 6-8-1 O/U) have dropped nine straight games, but are almost out of their misery as their 2008 NFL regular season finale approaches. The Atlanta Falcons (10-5 SU, 9-6 ATS, 6-9 O/U) are the toast of the town after reaching the playoffs just one season after a national scandal rocked their franchise.
The New England Patriots (10-5 SU, 8-7 ATS, 8-6-1 O/U) have won three consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook but are still on the brink of playoff extinction. The Buffalo Bills (7-8 SU, 7-8 ATS, 8-6-1 O/U) picked up a big win the last time they took the field but don’t have much to play for at this point, except playing the role of spoilers.
The Kansas City Chiefs (2-13 SU, 8-7 ATS, 8-7 O/U) have dropped three straight games in horrific fashion in the BetUS Sportsbook and likely can’t wait for their 2008 regular season to come to an end at this point. The Cincinnati Bengals (3-11-1 SU, 6-9 ATS, 5-9-1 O/U) may have won just three games this season, but have won two of those in the last two weeks as they finish up their 2008 regular season strong.

Despite winning the weak NFC West and securing their first playoff berth in over a decade, the Arizona Cardinals (8-6 SU, 8-6 ATS, 9-5 O/U) clearly aren’t playing winning football at the moment.

The New York Jets (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS, 8-5-1 O/U) snapped their modest two-game losing streak with a big division win in Week 15. The Seattle Seahawks (3-11 SU, 6-7-1 ATS, 6-6-2 O/U) finally found a team they could beat as they snapped their six-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook.
