The Green Bay Packers take on the Minnesota Vikings for the second time this season with both teams in the hunt for the NFC North title. Even though the Vikings looked absolutely terrible straight up and against the BetUS online wagering spread early this season, they have since gotten back to .500.
The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots resume their rivalry with a lot at stake this Sunday. The Bills, the clear-cut leader of the AFC East earlier this season, have now lost 3 out of their last 4 games. What does that mean in terms of sports betting?
The Tennessee Titans travel to Chicago to take on the Bears in a game where the Bears will want to solidify their position atop the NFC North. The problem for Chicago, of course, is that Rex Grossman more than likely will get the nod as starting quarterback in this game. Grossman can be very, very bad at times.
The St. Louis Rams (2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) slipped back into extreme mediocrity last week against the Cardinals.

The New Orleans Saints take on the Atlanta Falcons in a game with serious playoff implications for the NFC South. The Saints are 4 and 4 on the season. The Falcons are 5 and 3 on the season. If the Saints expect to make the playoffs this year, they have to start winning games within the NFC Conference as well as winning games in their division.
The Green Bay Packers (4-4 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) and the Minnesota Vikings (4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS) played each other in the opening game of the season. On Sunday they meet up once again, in an NFC North contest that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Metrodome (artificial turf) in Minneapolis.
The Denver Broncos travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in the first Thursday night game of the season! Okay, the first game of the season was on a Thursday night, but this is the first real Thursday night game. The key for sports betting fans in this game is to realize that the Browns will be starting Brady Quinn as opposed to Derek Anderson. As far as I know, the change was made out of desperation. How will it affect this Browns’ team?
Two teams with the ACC title on their minds hook up in Blacksburg on Thursday night, and sports betting fanatics will get a chance to sink their teeth into all the action when the Maryland Terrapins (6-2, 4-3 ATS) do battle with the Virginia Tech Hokies (5-3, 2-5 ATS).
The Georgia Bulldogs (7-2 SU, 3-3-2 ATS) are smarting – a lot – after last week’s defeat.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off of a loss versus the New York Giants, travel to Washington to take on another very tough, very capable, NFC East powerhouse in the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins have been a pleasant surprise for sportsbook betting fans so far this season by playing well enough to garner a 6 and 2 straight-up record. They are only a game behind the Giants in the NFC East even though the G-Men beat them in the first game of the season.
The New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been very good this season. Well, they were very good this season up until their loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Sports betting fans should note that the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 straight-up but only 4 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The Bills have a very solid team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Marshawn Lynch and a more than capable quarterback in Trent Edwards.
This is a game between two teams going in opposite directions. After a terrible start to the NFL season, the Houston Texans have sort of turned the corner. They are now 3 and 4, well within earshot of the playoffs in the AFC, and have on of the top quarterback and wide receiver combinations in the NFL with Matt Schaub throwing and Andre Johnson catching. Their defense is coming together nicely and they should only improve as the season wears on.
The Cowboys travel to New York to take on the NFC East leading Giants. For the Cowboys, it’s the biggest game of the year. They have to start re-asserting themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. Sports betting fans will notice that the Cowboys weren’t good against the spread when Tony Romo was back there throwing the ball. Now that they have Brad Johnson starting for them at quarterback, the Cowboys could be even worse against the BetUS online betting spread. The immobile Johnson will need good protection from his front line in order to keep the Giants’ pass rushers off of him.
The New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been very good this season.

Sports betting fans should note that the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 straight-up but only 4 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The Bills have a very solid team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Marshawn Lynch and a more than capable quarterback in Trent Edwards.
