Like most sports betting fans I am eagerly awaiting the day, which should happen very soon, when the BetUS NFL odds makers release all of the props being offered to NFL betting fans.
Right now, the only props on the BetUS online sportsbook wagering board involve the quarterbacks and running backs.
No this isn’t a preemptive article for Monday. This is a free-picks article for your degenerate face! The Eagles visit the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday to decide who is going to be the NFC Champion. The Eagles are road favorites heading in to this one, and I can completely understand why. They have a blitz-happy defense that boasts one of the best secondaries in the league.
The Baltimore Ravens (13-5 SU, 14-4 ATS, 9-8-1 O/U) have been keeping their opponents on ‘lockdown’ better than a Federal penitentiary. The Pittsburgh Steelers (13-4 SU, 10-7 ATS, 9-8 O/U) have not displayed the defensive prowess of their counterparts in this contest, but find themselves in the AFC title game after emphatically spanking the San Diego Chargers in their only playoff game this season.
BetUS NFL betting odds: PITTSBURGH -6, Total 34
NOTABLE STAT: Steelers gave up 237 yards per game (best in NFL)
KEY NFL FOOTBALL BETTING TREND: Baltimore is 7-1 SU & ATS in last eight road games

There is a little known BetUS online sportsbook prop bet being offered that could provide great value to sports betting fans.
It’s important for NFL betting fans to look beyond the usual against the spread and over/under the BetUS Total traditional online bets. Making profits on playoff games by betting props could be a very important part of a football betting fans overall strategy.
Let’s take a look at one such prop bet that the BetUS Sportsbook is offering in this weekend’s NFL Divisional Playoffs!
The Baltimore Ravens (12-5 SU, 13-4 ATS, 9-7-1 O/U) flexed their powerful defensive muscles at the Miami Dolphins’ expense last week, beating the Fish 27-9 to cover the spread as a 3.5-point favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook despite playing on the road. The Tennessee Titans (13-3 SU, 12-4 ATS, 8-8 O/U) lost their final regular season game back on Dec. 28, falling to the now-dispatched Indianapolis Colts in a meaningless contest.
The high-scoring Arizona Cardinals (10-7 SU, 10-7 ATS, 12-5 O/U) advanced to their NFL divisional showdown this Saturday by beating the entertaining Atlanta Falcons 30-24 in last week’s NFC wildcard matchup. Their prize is a date with the stingy Carolina Panthers (12-4 SU, 9-6-1 ATS, 8-8 O/U) a team they lost to 27-23 in Week 8 back on Oct. 26.
The NFL Wild Card Weekend is in the books! Now sports betting fans turn their attention to the Divisional Playoff games.
Which wild card weekend winning teams will take their good fortune into this weekend’s NFL Playoffs? Which teams will falter? What favorites are in for an against the spread beating and which favorites will win against the BetUS online wagering spread?
Let’s take a quick peek at each game this weekend!
The Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1 SU, 10-6 ATS, 7-8-1 O/U) and Minnesota Vikings, (10-6 SU, 6-10 ATS, 9-7 O/U) both reached the postseason on the final day of the regular season. However, it is the Eagles that are firing on all cylinders after routing the Dallas Cowboys 44-6 in Week 17 to easily cover the spread for BetUS NFL sports betting backers as a 2.5-point home favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Eagles got a lot of help in the last week of the regular season. More than anything else, however, they helped themselves, with a 44-6 win over Dallas that propelled them into this position after all may have seemed lost the week before against Washington. Meanwhile, the Vikings got a one-point win over the Giants, in a game they didn’t necessarily need, since Chicago lost its “must win” game against Houston.
The Dolphins have won nine of their last ten games to complete a ten-game improvement, and did so by bucking a trend and beating the Jets in the regular season finale. If you recall, the only win for Miami last year was a 22-16 overtime thriller at this site when Troy Smith was the Baltimore quarterback.
Ball State is already shy of personnel. Coach Brady Hoke, an alum, took a better offer from San Diego State, which is a lowly team. That should tell you a little about the state of the Ball State football program. Taking over the team for this ballgame is Stan Parrish, who was formerly a coach at Kansas State and won two out of 33 games.
Atlanta Falcons @ Arizona Cardinals (+1.5)
Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like the general sentiment was that the Arizona Cardinals were a one-and-done in the playoffs. But now that they are a home underdog to a team that is led by a young quarterback, a lot of people are scratching their heads wondering whether they should take the points with the Cardinals.
USC has a defense that has already become the stuff of legend. The Trojans have yielded just 7.8 points per game, and ranks first in total defense, first in pass defense, fifth in rushing defense (allowing 2.6 yards a carry) and has held ten different opponents to ten points or less.
