NFL Football: Sunday December 13, 2009 1 PM EST
The Line: Minnesota Vikings – 6 1/2
Two of the best teams in the NFL clash in Minnesota as the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings host the AFC North leading Cincinnati Bengals in what could be a Super Bowl preview.
Packers vs. Bears (+3)
(O/U) 41
Sunday, December 13 1:00 PM ET
The Green Bay (8-4 SU, 7-4-1 ATS, 6-6 O/U) are on a Philly-sized cheesesteak roll NFL pro football betting enthusiasts!
The Packers have won four consecutive games and looked better than ever in their dominating 27-14 Monday Night Football win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13.
Every week, the oddsmakers trot out these mega spreads whenever a “good team” plays a “bad team” and at least once a week, one of the underdogs gives the favorite a serious run for its money. It’s happened with the Browns, Bucs, Raiders, Chiefs and Rams. Now it’s the Lions’ turn, who enjoy one major advantage over the Ravens – Calvin Johnson.

BetUS NFL football odds: NEW ENGLAND -13.5, Total 44
The Patriots are listed as a 13.5-point favorite, with a posted total of 44 points.
Carolina got itself a win against Tampa Bay last week, and that came because the Panthers, who had been victimized by turnovers all season long (namely Jake Delhomme’s 18 interceptions) turned that stuff into their favor against rookie quarterback Josh Freeman, who tossed five footballs into the hands of Carolina’s defenders.
Jets vs. Buccaneers (+3)
(O/U) 37
Sunday, December 13 1:00 PM ET
The New York Jets (6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS, 5-6-1 O/U) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-11 SU, 4-8 ATS, 6-6 O/U) don’t have much left to play for except pride at this point of their respective regular seasons.
At a combined record of 7-17 SU, hardly anyone will be tuning in to watch the Chiefs host the Bills this Sunday. Yet, for you betting enthusiasts, this game can reap all sorts of merit for those of you that love to lump bad games in to your parlay bets.
Just one month ago, the Houston Texans (5-7 SU, 5-6-1 ATS, 4-8 O/U) were looking like a likely playoff participant easily en route to recording the first winning season in franchise history.
Now, four weeks – and four consecutive losses – later, the Texans are just trying to get back in the win column while tying the 8-8 regular season record the team has posted in consecutive seasons.
Ohio State Buckeyes (7-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) at Butler Bulldogs (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS)
Saturday, December 12 – Noon ET
Here are some of the NCAA basketball betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
The Indianapolis Colts have met all challenges this season, mostly in convincing fashion, thanks in large part to quarterback Peyton Manning, the most studious player in the game in my estimation.
This week, the Colts will face another stiff test when they battle the Denver Broncos in an AFC matchup that could turn out to be the best game on the docket for Week 14.
Arizona Cardinals (8-4 SU & ATS) at San Francisco 49ers (5-7 SU, 7-3-2 ATS)
Monday, December 14 – 8:30 PM ET
In the BetUS NFL betting odds, the Cardinals are listed as a 3.5-point favorite, with a posted total of 44.5 points.
Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
The New Orleans Saints (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS, 7-5 O/U) dodged a huge bullet in their 33-30 overtime win over the Washington Redskins in Week 13.
The may not be as fortunate this week against a banged-up, but desperate Atlanta Falcons (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 O/U) team that would love to take their division rivals down a peg or two this week.
In order to keep their dimming postseason hopes alive for another week in the competitive NFC, the Carolina Panthers (5-7 SU, 5-7 ATS 5-7 O/U) must accomplish a feat they haven’t been able to in nearly two months – win consecutive games.

The sportsbook is turning into a Venus flytrap of late, isn’t it? We have a nice, juicy “lock” – the Steelers fighting for their lives at Cleveland – sitting out there for us…we take the bait…and WHAM! We (and Ben Roethlisberger) get eaten alive. Time to strike back.
This is a game with an intensely storied rivalry that’s only furthered by the last ten games, which the Eagles and Giants have evenly split with a 5-5 SU/ATS record. Philadelphia has strung together three big wins over second-tier teams, but New York managed to stifle the Dallas Cowboys last week and are now one game shy of tying for the division lead.
