Sports betting fans had grown chilly on both teams. The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans were each coming off of losses last Sunday. There had been rumblings from NFL betting fans about whether or not either team had peaked and were now slowly getting worse right before the playoffs and not better.
Sports betting fans probably weren’t planning on watching this game as the Green Bay Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Chicago Bears, as long ago as Sunday morning, were on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs.
Now, because of Minnesota’s home loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, the Bears are right back in the middle of the NFC North Divisional title chase. Online football betting fans won’t be surprised to see that the Bears are favored at home even though they were pummeled the last time these two teams met 37 to 3. The Bears have begun to play well.
The Chicago Bears (8-6 SU, 6-6-2 ATS) find themselves in “must win” territory on Monday night when they play host to their arch-rivals, the Green Bay Packers (5-9 SU, 6-7-1 ATS) in an NFC North game in NFL pro football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 8:30 PM ET at Soldier Field (natural turf) in the Windy City.
The Buffalo Bills (6-8 SU & ATS) have simply gone into the tank in the AFC East. On Sunday they will try to take a step toward finishing the season at the .500 mark when they visit the Denver Broncos (8-6 SU, 4-9-1 ATS), who need only to win this game to wrap up the AFC West, in NFL pro football online betting action that is slated to kick off at 4:05 PM ET at Invesco Field at Mile High (natural turf) in Denver.
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 Cardinals have dropped three of their last four games and are coming off a dismal 35-14 rout at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Washington Redskins (7-7 SU, 5-8-1 ATS) have seen their playoff hopes slip away as they’ve been through a horrific slump. On Sunday they will try to regroup as they oppose the Philadelphia Eagles (8-5-1 SU, 9-5 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 4:15 PM ET at FedEx Field (natural turf) in Landover, MD.
The New England Patriots (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS) are still fighting to win the AFC East. On Sunday they will try to get a leg up in that three-way race when they play host to the Arizona Cardinals (8-6 SU & ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is scheduled to take place at 1 PM ET at Gillette Stadium (artificial turf) in Foxboro, MA.
The Minnesota Vikings (9-5 SU, 6-8 ATS) are desperate to hang on to their NFC North division lead. The Atlanta Falcons (9-5 SU, 8-6 ATS) are desperate to garner a playoff spot. On Sunday these two teams will meet to see who can take a step toward that next level. Kickoff is set for 4:15 PM ET at the Metrodome (artificial turf) in Minneapolis.
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.
This is the time of year when handicappers really make their money. The NFL regular season is down to its final two weeks; some teams have nothing to play for and become instant fade candidates, while others are fighting for a place in the postseason. The bigger the stakes, the higher the motivation. Let’s pluck the two highest-stakes games from the Week 16 slate and see what angles we can take to the bank. For current lines, visit Bodog Sportsbook.
The New Orleans Saints (7-7 SU, 9-4-1 ATS, 9-4-1 O/U) saw their playoff hopes take a huge hit with a crushing loss in Week 15. The Detroit Lions (0-14 SU, 6-8 ATS, 9-4-1 O/U) remained winless following their loss on Sunday, but actually put up a pretty good fight before falling.
For the first time all season, there is a new team in the top-2. That’s right, a team known for grit, tenacity and guts has climbed to the top as our season-favorite Titans and Giants hit massive stumbling blocks. The race for the Wildcard has never been more exciting, with sixteen teams grinding out for a shot at the Superbowl in Tampa Bay, Week 16 and 17 have all the relevance that you’ve been waiting for.
The Indianapolis Colts (10-4 SU, 6-7-1 ATS, 7-7O/U) have won seven consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook and look like they’re gearing up for an extended postseason run at this point. The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-9 SU, 4-10 ATS, 5-8-1 O/U) snapped their four-game losing streak the last time they took the field.
The underdogs raked again in Week 15 as the favorites continued their trend of completely tanking. The NFL betting schedule for Week 16 is one of the final chances the favorites will have to turn things around.
Pittsburgh Solidifies Their Top AFC Standing and the Patriots and Jets Keep Pace with One Another
On Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers gave a signal to the rest of the NFL and sports betting fans by proving that they not only could play a knock down drag it out game but that they could beat a proven team on that team’s home field.
BetUS NFL Sportsbook betting fanatics saw the season-long trend of surprising outcomes in the BetUS Sportsbook continue in Week 15 in what has been one of the most unpredictable seasons in recent memory.
Despite going an absolutely atrocious 3-7 with my personal wagering selections on Sunday, your boy E Dubya’ has still put BetUS NFL sports betting buffs in the black this season with an overall 2008-09 NFL handicapping record of 110-97 (53 percent).
