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.
Jeff Burton has five races in which to catch Jimmie Johnson. For online wagering fans that have placed a NASCAR online bet on Burton, things don’t look too good. Johnson was masterful last Saturday night when holding his second place position in the Bank of America 500.
That’s all you can hope to expect from Jimmie at this point. Burton won the race but Jimmie held serve.
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 Pittsburgh Panthers (4-1 SU, 1-4 ATS, 1-4 O/U) have reeled off four straight wins, including an encouraging 26-21 win over, then No. 10South Florida on Oct. 2 after a season-opening loss to mediocre Bowling Green.
The Navy Midshipmen (4-2 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U), have won three straight contests, to halt a modest two-game skid, beating Air Force 33-27 on the road in their most recent game on Oct. 4.
The Akron Zips (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS, 5-2 O/U) and Eastern Michigan Eagles (2-5 SU, 1-5 ATS, 1-5 O/U), are both in desperate need of a victory after suffering losses this past weekend and will be gunning for a victory on Saturday when they meet at Rynearson Stadium.
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.
Not only are the he Boise State Broncos (5-0 SU, 3-1 ATS, 1-3O/U) averaging a whopping 33.6 points per game this season, but their fantastic defense seventh-ranked defense is limiting opponents to just 11.2 points per game this season and has held their opponents to seven points or fewer in four of their five games.
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 Sprint Cup boys move to Charlotte this Saturday night for the 31st race of the season. Lowes Motor Speedway is a 1.5 mile Quad Oval Track located in Concord, NC.
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.
No Tom Brady? No problem! The New England Patriots came out last weekend after a bye week and showed why they are easily still one of the top teams in the AFC. The most impressive thing I saw out of this team, as an online betting fan, was how they got Randy Moss into the game early. With Moss catching passes, this team is very difficult to beat. That’s exactly what they did. Moss catches passes, New England plays well, and the Patriots beat the NFL online betting spread of 3 points by winning their game versus the 49’ers by 9 points.
