Ok, it’s not so much that these two teams are awful; it’s just that they’re underachieving at an alarming rate. The Patriots squeezed by the hapless Niners last weekend, while the Chargers lost to – gasp! – the Dolphins. But hey, it’s not like the Patriots didn’t get their asses handed to them by the riley Fins either, right?

The St. Louis Rams (0-4 SU & ATS) hope they can start over with a new coach, but many fear it will be the same old story when they face off against the Washington Redskins (4-1 SU & ATS) in NFL action that is scheduled to begin at 1 PM ET at FedEx Field (natural turf) in Landover, MD.
The two teams who faced each other in the AFC championship game a year ago will lock horns on Sunday, although it’s looking less and less like a preview of a rematch for that AFC title. The New England Patriots (3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) travel to San Diego to face the Chargers (2-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) in this contest that is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 PM ET at Qualcomm Stadium (natural turf).
The Green Bay Packers (2-3 SU & ATS), coming off a tough home loss, have to take to the road on Sunday when they travel to play their old coach, when they hook up with the Seattle Seahawks (1-3 SU & ATS) in NFL action that is set to get underway at 4:15 PM ET at Qwest Field (artificial turf) in Seattle.
The Atlanta Falcons (3-2 SU & ATS), who just got an uplifting road win last week against the Packers, return home this week to face the Chicago Bears (3-2 SU, 3-1-1 ATS) in an NFL contest that is slated to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Georgia Dome (artificial turf) in Atlanta.
What characterized the Detroit Lions of 2007? A team that started 6-2 and had postseason visions, only to collapse and miss the playoffs. It was a team in a total tailspin the second half of the season. They couldn’t win (1-7) or cover games (1-7 ATS). Teams can feel helpless when the wheels fall off or they suffer a crushing defeat. It takes a good coaching staff to get a team to focus and prepare itself mentally the following week.
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.
With the football season in full swing, now is the best time to examine some betting trends and teams headed in the right and wrong directions.
