The Cincinnati Bengals (0-8 SU, 2-6 ATS) have gone way past the point where they have been a disappointment. On Sunday they will once again be going after their first win of the season when they face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS) in NFL sports betting action that is scheduled to take place at 1 PM ET at Paul Brown Stadium (artificial turf) in Cincinnati.
The sad sack Kansas City Chiefs (1-6 SU, 3-4 ATS) are enduring a season that is even worse than they envisioned possible. On Sunday they will play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-3 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is scheduled to take place at 1 PM ET at Arrowhead Stadium (natural turf) in Kansas City.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-1 SU, 7-0 ATS), coming off their only loss of the season, and a tough one, will try to rebound and stay in the Big 12 title picture on Saturday when they take on the Iowa State Cyclones (2-6 SU, 3-4 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 3:30 PM ET at Boone Pickens Stadium (artificial turf) in Stillwater, OK.
As many of you have seen my power rankings have been pretty good with predicting lines and winners in the NFL and NCAA Football season thus far. One of Craig’s Handicapping tools that he uses for each pick is his own weekly power rankings. Below is the top 10 for NBA which will change I am sure after the season gets going.
The struggling Auburn Tigers (4-4 SU, 1-7 ATS, 3-5 O/U) have dropped three straight games and four of their last five overall.
The Mississippi Rebels (4-4 SU, 4-3 ATS, 4-3 O/U) squeaked by the Arkansas Razorbacks on the road on Saturday to snap a two-game losing streak for members of the BetUS online college football sports betting community.
The Iowa Hawkeyes (5-3 SU, 5-2 ATS, 2-5 O/U) are coming off two emphatic routs of Big Ten opponents in their last two games.
The Illinois Fighting Illini (4-4 SU, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/) have alternated wins and losses in each of their last six games.
The gambling world is about to go into overdrive. Basketball is second only to football in popularity among handicappers, and the NBA is the king of the hardcourt between now and March Madness. Millions of dollars will exchange hands. Some of it could go directly into your account.
If you had told me that Kerry Collins would be quarterbacking the league’s best team at the halfway mark of the season, I would’ve slapped you in the face, kicked you in the nuts and set your pants on fire (because that’s what you do to liars). But here we are staring at the Week 8 odds and lines with Collins at the helm of the Tennessee Titans, who are on the verge of an undefeated season. With a definitive win over the Colts, it will be nearly impossible for Indianapolis to wrestle the top spot in the AFC North from the reigning Titans.
Two teams who probably thought they would be doing a lot better at this time will lock horns on Sunday, as the San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS) play the New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL contest that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium (natural turf) in London.
The Seattle Seahawks (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS) are looking for a break that will give them some badly-needed momentum. On Sunday they will try to get it against the San Francisco 49ers (2-5 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is set to take place at 4:15 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
The Carolina Panthers (5-2 SU, 4-2-1 ATS) have put together nice defensive performances in three of their last four games. On Sunday they’ll look to build on that when they encounter the Arizona Cardinals (4-2 SU & ATS) in NFL action that is slated to kick off at 1 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium (natural turf) in Charlotte, NC.
The Cleveland Browns (2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS) are trying to fight off charges that last season’s 10-6 record was a fluke. On Sunday they will visit the state of Florida to face the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in NFL action that is set to begin at 4:05 PM ET at Municipal Stadium (natural turf) in Jacksonville, FL.
The Oakland Raiders (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS) would like to think they are on a high after beating the New York Jets. On Sunday they will tackle the Baltimore Ravens (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS) in NFL action that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at M&T Bank Stadium (artificial turf) in Baltimore.
The Buffalo Bills (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS) look like the new kings of the hill in the AFC East. On Sunday they will be taking on the Miami Dolphins (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS) in NFL action that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Dolphin Stadium (natural turf) in Miami Gardens, FL.
Two undefeateds in the Big 12 Conference get together in one of the nation’s marquee matchups on Saturday, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-0 SU, 6-0 ATS) tangle with the top-ranked Texas Longhorns (7-0 SU & ATS) in an NCAA football showdown that is scheduled to take place at 3:30 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (natural turf) in Austin, TX.
The sad sack Detroit Lions (0-6 SU, 2-4 ATS) look like they are almost hopeless at this point. On Sunday they will try once again to post their first victory of the season when they take on the Washington Redskins (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL game that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at Ford Field (artificial turf) in Detroit.
