The NFL is steamrolling toward its final three weeks of the 2009 regular season but pro football online sports betting members still have plenty of opportunities to boost their seasonal betting bankroll with some wise BetUS NFL wagering over the course of the regular season and well into the playoffs.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.
The Arizona Cardinals have a division title on the line when they head to San Francisco on Monday night, but there is a little extra incentive that they aren’t being so vocal about.
In Week 1, the Cardinals hosted the San Francisco 49ers and they eventually lost that game because of a shoddy overall team effort.
There will be more than just some good old-fashioned divisional hatred on the line when the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants meet up on Sunday night. The Eagles currently hold the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoff picture while the New York Giants are the No. 7 seed – just one game behind.

The Line: Minnesota Vikings – 6 1/2
Two of the best teams in the NFL clash in Minnesota as the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings host the AFC North leading Cincinnati Bengals in what could be a Super Bowl preview.
One cannot understate how big Miami’s 22-21 win against New England was last Sunday. Not only was a big win against a divisional opponent, but it put Miami right back in the thick of things in the AFC East Division. The win allowed the Dolphins to completely absolve themselves after their ugly loss to Buffalo the week before.
Every week, the oddsmakers trot out these mega spreads whenever a “good team” plays a “bad team” and at least once a week, one of the underdogs gives the favorite a serious run for its money. It’s happened with the Browns, Bucs, Raiders, Chiefs and Rams. Now it’s the Lions’ turn, who enjoy one major advantage over the Ravens – Calvin Johnson.

BetUS NFL football odds: NEW ENGLAND -13.5, Total 44
The Patriots are listed as a 13.5-point favorite, with a posted total of 44 points.
Carolina got itself a win against Tampa Bay last week, and that came because the Panthers, who had been victimized by turnovers all season long (namely Jake Delhomme’s 18 interceptions) turned that stuff into their favor against rookie quarterback Josh Freeman, who tossed five footballs into the hands of Carolina’s defenders.
The New Orleans Saints are just one of two teams in the NFL that has yet to lose this season and as they head out on the road as a 10-point favorite in Atlanta, the odds makers don’t believe that this is the week that their perfection will end.
At a combined record of 7-17 SU, hardly anyone will be tuning in to watch the Chiefs host the Bills this Sunday. Yet, for you betting enthusiasts, this game can reap all sorts of merit for those of you that love to lump bad games in to your parlay bets.

The sportsbook is turning into a Venus flytrap of late, isn’t it? We have a nice, juicy “lock” – the Steelers fighting for their lives at Cleveland – sitting out there for us…we take the bait…and WHAM! We (and Ben Roethlisberger) get eaten alive. Time to strike back.
One month left in the NFL regular season and we still have two undefeated teams.
The Colts are one of two teams that are 12-0 (the New Orleans Saints are the other). Is this the weekend the mighty fall? Indy should have a battle on their hands as they host the 8-4 Denver Broncos. The sports betting community isn’t giving the Broncos much of a chance so far, as online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting a little over 70% of the betting volume on the Colts.
This is a game with an intensely storied rivalry that’s only furthered by the last ten games, which the Eagles and Giants have evenly split with a 5-5 SU/ATS record. Philadelphia has strung together three big wins over second-tier teams, but New York managed to stifle the Dallas Cowboys last week and are now one game shy of tying for the division lead.
