The NFL, or No Fun League for those of you who miss the good ol’ days of NFL betting when dynasties ruled and the Detroit Lions won games, must be happy about the parity in the league this season.
Outside of impressive years from the Tennessee Titans (12-1, 11-2 ATS) and the New York Giants (11-2, 10-3 ATS), and the potentially historically awful campaign from the Detroit Lions (0-13, 5-8 ATS), everyone else is pretty, well, average.
Two teams who are now fighting for a playoff spot will tangle on Sunday in a critical NFC South matchup when the Cinderella story Atlanta Falcons (8-5 SU & ATS) play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-4 SU, 7-6 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 1 PM ET at the Georgia Dome (artificial turf) in Atlanta.
The Miami Dolphins (8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS) are in a flat-footed tie with the Patriots and Jets for the East lead. On Sunday they will try to separate themselves from the pack, but first they must get by the San Francisco 49ers (5-8 SU, 6-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 1 PM ET at Dolphin Stadium (natural turf) in Miami Gardens, FL.
Three teams that started the first half of the NFL sports betting season even-steven still have a shot at making the playoffs. In addition, one in each conference could win their division.
The AFC East is a three-way race. The Jets, Patriots and Dolphins each have 8-5 records with three regular season games to go.

The Washington Redskins (7-5 SU, 5-6-1 ATS) are trying desperately to hold on to their playoff hopes. On Sunday they will travel about 40 miles and line up against the Baltimore Ravens (8-4 SU, 9-3 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 8:15 PM ET at M&T Bank Stadium (artificial turf) in Baltimore.

The trio of games featured in this week’s NFL sports betting preview all have one thing in common: A lack of control.
The New York Giants can’t control the off-field activities of their players (see: loaded gun in pants), the Buffalo Bills can’t control where they play their home games, and the Dallas Cowboys can’t control the weather when they don’t.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8 SU, 3-9 ATS) have had a hard time of it this year, and on Sunday things don’t get easier as they take on the Chicago Bears (6-6 SU, 5-6-1 ATS), who are fighting for their playoff lives, in NFL pro football sports betting action that is scheduled for a 1 PM ET kickoff at Soldier Field (natural turf) in Chicago.
The Atlanta Falcons (8-4 SU & ATS), angling for a playoff spot, get to put a nail in the coffin of the New Orleans Saints (6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS) when the two NFC South rivals meet up at the Louisiana Superdome (artificial turf) in New Orleans. Kickoff time is 1 PM ET.
The New York Jets (8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS), the AFC East leaders, continue their playoff run on Sunday when they meet up with the San Francisco 49ers (4-8 SU, 5-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 4:05 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
The Miami Dolphins (7-5 SU, 5-7 ATS) are surprising everyone by staying in the AFC East title race. On Sunday they try to take an other positive step to remain in the thick of things when they take on the fading Buffalo Bills (6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 4:05 PM ET at the Rogers Centre (artificial turf) in Toronto.
The Cleveland Browns (4-8 SU, 7-5 ATS) look like a hopeless bunch right now. On Sunday they will try to get some offense going when they face off against the Tennessee Titans (11-1 SU, 10-1-1 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 1 PM ET at LP Field (natural turf) in Nashville.
