The New York Giants (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/ U), bounced back from their resounding Monday night defeat to the Cleveland Browns by beating the San Francisco 49ers 29-17 on Sunday to narrowly cover as 10-point home favorites in the BetUS Sportsbook just as I predicted last week.
The Tennessee Titans (6-0 SU, 6-0 ATS, 3-3 O/U), remained the only perfect team in the league, moving to a perfect 6-0 by laying a huge ‘smackdown’ on the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs, winning 34-10 to easily cover as 9-point road favorites for BetUS NFL Sportsbook bettors.
The Baltimore Ravens (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U) and the Miami Dolphins (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U) have been two of the most surprising teams in the league this season, fielding highly competitive teams despite owning similar 2-3 losing records heading into this matchup at Dolphins Stadium.
Both rebuilding teams are coming off Week 6 losses, though it was the Dolphins that actually had a chance to get on the plus side of the win column in the BetUS Sportsbook with their close 29-28 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/U), absolutely pounded the atrocious Oakland Raiders on Sunday, winning 34-3 in the BetUS Sportsbook to cover as seven-points favorites at home.
The Carolina Panthers (4-2 SU, 3-2-1 ATS, 1-5 O/U), suffered a meltdown of major proportions in losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-3 on the road while failing to cover as one-point road underdogs.
While the Dallas Cowboys (4-2 SU, 2-4, 4-2 O/U), were supposed ‘favorites’ to either reach or challenge for the Super Bowl this season in the NFC, the sputtering team has shown a multitude of chinks in their armor over the last three weeks.
The ‘Boys’ are on the road this week to face an inspired St. Louis Rams (1-4 SU, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 O/U) team that is coming off its first win of the season in the BetUS Sportsbook in new head coach Jim Haslett’s debut after the team fired former head coach Scott Linehan after an atrocious 0-4 start.
The lowly Detroit Lions (0-5 SU, 1-4 ATS, 2-3 O/U), fired former GM Matt Millen, but still just can’t win a game, although they came close in their 12-10 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Houston Texans (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS, 5-0 O/U), were struggling in a big way as well, going winless in the BetUS Sportsbook before scratching out a narrow 29-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday.
The dysfunctional Kansas City Chiefs (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS, 2-3 O/U), have a ton of on-field problems that are already causing a near-mutiny!
Now, Kansas City, nearing the verge of total collapse, has some off-field drama with the news that starting running back Larry Johnson has been charged with assault of a female – for the third time – since joining Kansas City as the teams first round draft pick in 2003.
The Washington Redskins (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 2-4 O/U) were caught off guard by the previously-winless St. Louis Rams in a contest I predicted correctly in the BetUS Locker Room last week, losing 19-17 at home on Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U), won their second game of the season and may have saved their season in the process, by absolutely spanking the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants 35-14 at home on Monday night in a shocker that I’ll admit I never saw coming.
The Chicago Bears (3-3 SU, 3-2-1 ATS, 2-4 O/U), fell to the surprising, young Atlanta Falcons 22-20 on the road last week on a last-second field goal and need a win in the worst way as they host their longtime NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS, 3-3 O/U) this week.
The Green Bay Packers, (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS, 4-1 O/U) have dropped three consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook but still look better than the floundering Seattle Seahawks, (1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS, 4-0 O/U).
The Packers lost to the Atlanta Falcons and blossoming young quarterback Matt Ryan 27-24 at home as a 3.5-point favorites in Week 5. as quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw completed 25 of 37 passes for 313 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
BetUS NFL Sportsbook bettors should know one thing about the Philadelphia Eagles, (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U) heading into their Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS, 2-2-1 O/U).
Quarterback Donovan McNabb is off his rocker!
Two weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys, (4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U), had to deal with Terrell Owens’ selfish whining after losing to the Redskins 26-24.
Last week, following Dallas’ 31-22 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Owens went on some sort of religious rave that had me and everyone else who saw his idiotic comments, think he’d literally lost his mind.
The Houston Texans (0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS, 4-0 O/U), entered the 2008 season hoping to improve on their solid 8-8 record from a season ago while making a legitimate push to reach the postseason but have failed miserably while getting off to an 0-4 start.
The Washington Redskins (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U), were thought to be the worst team in the NFC East following their season-opening, 17-6 road loss to the New York Giants.
Now, after winning four straight games in convincing fashion, including two consecutive NFC East road contests, the Redskins are riding high and sitting pretty with their NFC playoff hopes.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3 SU, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 O/U), had high hopes of making their first Super Bowl appearance this season after a recording a promising 11-5 record in 2007, but are in serious danger of even making the playoffs this season even at this early juncture of the 2008 regular season.
The last time New York Jets (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 2-2 O/U) quarterback Brett Favre took the field, he tossed a career-high six touchdown passes.
Playing against the lowly Cincinnati Bengals (0-5 SU, 2-3 ATS, 2-3 O/U) this week at Giants Stadium could allow Favre to tie or even surpass that personal record as the winless Bengals don’t figure to offer much resistance as they seek their first win of the 2008-09 NFL season.
