Week 6 is here and there a couple of great games on the schedule.
Looking back to 2008 Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys lost starting quarterback Tony Romo to a fractured left pinkie, forcing Romo to miss the next four games and quite possibly ruining the Cowboys playoff hopes, as they dropped 3 of 4 without their starter. Could we see another high profile injury this year?
Week five in the NFL belonged to the underdog as nine teams that were getting points covered. Three teams; Kansas City, Washington, and Detroit covered but lost outright while six teams; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Denver, Miami, and Seattle all won outright. It wasn’t all good for the underdog as three teams; N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia, and Minnesota won and covered a double digit point spread.
Big games this week as the NY Giants visit the New Orleans Saints in battle of undefeated team. Also the Ravens look to avoid their third loss in a row against another undefeated team in the Vikings. NFL Week 6 is going to have a lot of good betting options.
You might think that the Saints would have a huge advantage over the Giants this Sunday. New Orleans is coming off its bye week and has had 14 days to get ready. But the Giants last Sunday had the closest thing to a bye week –– a home game against Oakland –– and should be well-rested when the two unbeatens meet in New Orleans in the biggest game of the NFL season to date.
Seneca Wallace is a nice backup quarterback, but everyone who has even a passing interest in the NFC West knows that the fewer snaps he takes this season, the greater the chance of the Seahawks restoring themselves as the top team in the division.
Okay BetUS NFL sports betting members, Week 5’s action produced both, some expected – and unexpected – results that will almost assuredly have a bearing on the upcoming week’s action.
This glimpse back – and peek ahead, will give BetUS NFL betting members all of the insight they need to make a plethora of winning wagers in the bettor-friendly BetUS Sportsbook on the entire slate of thrilling Week 6 action in the BetUS NFL sports book.
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 New York Jets had a loss last week and there was some concern on their part that it would open a window for the New England Patriots to take control in the division. But thanks to the Denver Broncos, the Jets maintain their one-game lead on the Patriots and can extend it tonight with a win over the Miami Dolphins.

Coming off an epic performance against his former team, Brett Favre and the Vikings hit the road on a short week to take on the Rams in St. Louis. On paper this is quite the mismatch as the Vikings are 4-0 while the Rams are 0-4 and have been shut out in two of its losses.
The last time these teams met was in 2006, when the Bucs needed the fourth longest field-goal in NFL history to edge the Eagles. Tampa Bay will need all sorts of miracles on Sunday when they face the Eagles again as McNabb and Westbrook return from injury.
The Raiders continue to be the joke of the NFL, while the Giants continue to set the standard in the NFL. Talk about world’s colliding. In what was a definite romp, the Giants’ star quarterback, Eli Manning, has been sidelined by swelling in his foot and has watched David Carr take the majority of the first team snaps. The line hasn’t moved for this game, so the question is whether the Giants can cover without Manning.
The big news for the Niners recently was the finalized deal with Michael Crabtree. We won’t be seeing him this week. Instead we’re going to see the same team that has gone 3-1 SU, with their lone loss due to an improbably Brett Favre miracle in Minnesota. Both teams are playing strong this season, and in a battle of NFC underdogs, we’re about to find out which team is serious about the playoffs.
When Josh McDaniels took the reigns in Denver, things started to implode pretty damn quickly. He was forced to unload Jay Cutler and take on Kyle Orton, and nearly lost the services of Brandon Marshall. Quickly though, the Broncos thundered out to an undefeated record SU and ATS and have quietly put forth the best defense in the league. You read the last part of that sentence correctly.
