The New England Patriots (3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS, 2-2 O/U), got back in the win column in the BetUS Sportsbook on Sunday, beating the rebuilding, (again) San Francisco 49ers on the road, 30-21.
The San Diego Chargers (2-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS, 4-1 O/U) took an inexplicable 17-10 road loss on the chin to a clearly inferior Miami Dolphins team and enter this Week 6 contest in flat-out desperation mode.
The veteran-laden Chicago Bears (3-2 SU, 3-1-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U), have won two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook while simultaneously covering the spread in both and are beginning to look like a viable contender in the NFC this season.
The Baltimore Ravens (2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS) have played inspired football for new coach John Harbaugh and new QB Joe Flacco. On Sunday they will travel to the Hoosier State to take on the Indianapolis Colts (2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS) in NFL action that is slated to kick off at 1 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium (artificial turf) in Indianapolis.
The Louisville Cardinals (2-2 SU, 1-2 ATS), having a week off after a tough loss to U-Conn, travel to the state of Tennessee to face off against the Memphis Tigers (3-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) in NCAA college football action in Conference USA that is scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET on Friday at the Liberty Bowl (artificial turf) in Memphis.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U) hit the road this week to take on the high-powered Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-0 SU, 2-0-1 ATS, 1-2 O/U) on Saturday when the two teams meet at Jones AT&T Stadium.
After winning their first three games of the 2008 season, albeit over underwhelming opponents, the Cornhuskers have been lit up the last two weeks and looked downright atrocious against the fourth-ranked Missouri Tigers on Saturday, losing 52-17 in a contest they were never in.

The Houston Texans (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) will, unbelievably, be playing their first home games of the season on Sunday when they play host to the Indianapolis Colts (1-2 SU & ATS) in an AFC South contest that is slated to kick off at 1 PM ET at Reliant Stadium (natural turf) in Houston.

The Missouri Tigers (4-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) will try to stay undefeated and in the national title hunt on Saturday when they visit Lincoln to play the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) in Big 12 NCAA college football action that is slated to begin at 8 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (artificial turf).
The good news is that I avoided USC and Florida last week. The bad news is that Wake Forest still collapsed, losing outright to Navy and hence presents our first landmine of the year. It’s time to make up some ground and get back into the positives.
It is not the glamorous rivalry it once was. But it still carries some importance. On Saturday the Florida State Seminoles (3-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) will visit the southern part of the state when they square off against the Miami Hurricanes (2-2 SU, 2-1 ATS) in Atlantic Coast Conference action that is slated to get underway at 3:30 PM ET at Dolphin Stadium (natural turf) in Miami.
The Penn State Nittany Lions (5-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) could be in the national title picture if they roll through the Big 10 schedule undefeated.

The Florida Gators (3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS), who had national title hopes, were really stung by last week’s loss. On Saturday they will try to make amends for that when they visit the Arkansas Razorbacks (2-2 SU, 0-3 ATS) in Southeastern Conference college football action that is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 PM ET at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium (natural turf) in Fayetteville, AR.
