Marshall: The Week That Was
The Marshall Thundering Herd were 60 minutes away from registering their first winning regular season since 2004, but just when coach Mark Snyder had a reason to think that he could finally break through, the roof fell in. Marshall got mashed by UTEP, 52-21, on Nov. 28; shortly thereafter, Snyder would be pushed out the door as the team’s sideline boss.
NFL Football Betting Odds: PHILADELPHIA -7, Total 41.5
It is conceivable that Denver can clinch a playoff spot this Sunday, if a few things happen. That would be a quite a reward for a roller coaster season, in which Jay Cutler was traded, six straight wins and then four straight losses. They came back with a couple of victories, and now have dropped two straight, one to the undefeated Indianapolis Colts and another to the Oakland Raiders, who staged a last-minute drive down the field to beat Denver at Invesco Field by a point.

A very interesting matchup of two middle-tier West Coast teams will take place in San Diego, when the Utah Utes and the Cal Golden Bears square off in the Poinsettia Bowl.
For Cal, it has been somewhat of a disappointing season, in a year when many expected them to contend for a Pac-10 crown. Offensively, they have and always will be led by a pro-style running game, which this year produced two 800 yards rushers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (20-8 SU, 13-15 ATS, 12-14-2 O/U) will be looking to get back in the win column after having their five-game winning streak snapped on Sunday.
The Phoenix Suns (18-9 SU, 16-11 ATS, 9-16-2 O/U) have alternated wins and losses over their last six games and will be looking to record consecutive victories for the first time this month.
The Utah Jazz (16-11 SU, 15-12 ATS, 16-10-1 O/U) will be looking to regain the consistency they lost just after the month of December began. After winning seven of its previous eight games, the Jazz have hone just 5-4 over its last nine game while alternating wins and losses in each of their last five games overall.
The Dolphins lost their starting quarterback and starting running-back during the football betting season, but had depth in the wings with Chad Henne and Ricky Williams. The surging Dolphins clipped the Jaguars in the tail last weekend and now must push for a playoff spot by shattering the dreams of the Titans.
Games like this with a touchdown spread are seriously difficult to gage. I usually wait until the line dips a little lower for my liking but as long as this game is sitting underneath -8.0 in favor of the Eagles, I’m taking the Niners. San Francisco isn’t a great team, but they’re a sneaky team and a road team that can catch you off guard if you just think “Niners suck” and bet against them.
In their history against one another, the Patriots have been absurdly dominant against Buffalo. The Bills haven’t beaten New England in over five years, piling up a 0-10 SU record and a 3-7 ATS streak against the Pats.
Arizona Must Prove They Can Bounce Back Against Detroit
When the Cardinals lose, they lose badly. Committing seven turnovers against San Francisco is ungodly (sorry, Kurt) but the Cardinals remain in complete control of the NFC West.
Nobody’s touching this line right now because they have no idea what the St. Louis Rams are doing at quarterback. Kind of ironic that a one-win team is being led by a rookie with the last name “Null” but no matter who the Rams hand the reigns to is inconsequential. The Texans are a proven commodity on the road.
