NFL: G-MEN LEAD LIST OF SUPER BOWL ODDS

Having a first-round bye is huge in the NFL Playoffs and nowhere is that reflected more than in our updated Super Bowl Odds.

The four teams resting this week are the prohibitive favorites with the New York Giants (+250), Pittsburgh Steelers (+450), Carolina Panthers (+500) and Tennessee Titans (+600) leading the way.

The Giants are not surprising at all as the overall favorite, as the defending champs beat Carolina in the Meadowlands by running all over them to the tune of 301 yards. And while that was a close game overall, New York should be 4-6 point favorites if they meet in the NFC title game.

2009 NFL Wildcard Cappers Picks

NFL Playoff Preview & Picks

The Wild-Card Round in the NFL is set now that every seed has been decided after a wild Week 17 in the NFL!

Some teams that should have made the playoffs, like the New England Patriots, will be staying home because of the NFL Playoff rules. Other teams that should probably be staying home, yes, I’m thinking of you San Diego Chargers, not only made the playoffs but get to host a wild card game.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Giants vs. Vikings

NFL Week 17 Must Win Giants @ Vikings

The New York Giants travel to Minnesota this Sunday with nothing to gain in beating the Vikings. The Giants secured home field advantage through-out the playoffs by taking down the Carolina Panthers in their last game. They also suffered some injuries in that game. So, I doubt that coach Tom Coughlin will keep his starters in for very long, if he starts them at all, against a hungry Vikings’ squad.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Titans vs. Colts

NFL Week 17 Playoff Preview Titans vs Colts

This is going to be akin to watching an NFL Pre-Season game. The Colts have secured the number five seed in the AFC Playoffs by virtue of their 11 and 4 record. Most sports betting fans should be aware that the Tennessee Titans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday and secured the number one seed in the AFC Playoffs.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Panthers vs. Saints

NFL Online Betting Panthers vs Saints

The Carolina Panthers travel to the Big Easy to take on the Saints in a game that Carolina sort of has to win. If the Panthers lose and the Falcons win, then Atlanta gets the number two seed in the NFL Playoffs wagering and a bye next week. That’s a lot for Carolina to play for in this game. They could go from playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs to losing the NFC South Division and having to play next week.

Early NFL Odds For Week 17

NFL Week 17 Early Lines Look

The only thing that makes NFL betting more interesting is adding a little playoff implication spice to the mix. That’s exactly the case in Week 17, with at least eight games on the board that play a role in determining who goes on and who signs up for early tee times on Monday.

The AFC West division title is on the line in the Sunday nighter, as the surging San Diego Chargers host the Denver Broncos. Oddsmakers like the Chargers to see another week of action, listing San Diego as sizable 8.5-point chalk for the contest.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Cowboys vs. Eagles

NFL Betting Analysis Cowboys @ Eagles

How many lives do the Dallas Cowboys have? More than one sports betting fan was ready to put a fork into them after they lost a key game this past Saturday night to the Baltimore Ravens. But then, on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to lose and so did the Philadelphia Eagles. Now the ‘Boys control their own destiny. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Dallas has all of a sudden become a good team against the BetUS online sportsbook wagering spread. Dallas is still only 7 and 8 against the spread. They are 3 and 4 against the spread in their away games this season and they actually almost lost to Philadelphia the first time these two teams met in the second week of the season.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Dolphins vs. Jets

NFL Playoff Implications Dolphins @ Jets

The Miami Dolphins play the New York Jets in a game where, should Miami win, will have made the greatest single season turnaround in NFL history. The Dolphins won only 1 game last season. They’ve already won ten games this season and if they win this Sunday then every sports betting fan in the world will have to give kudos to the Fins who will win the AFC East Division with a record of 11 and 5. Miami has been one of the more pleasant surprises this season for BetUS Sportsbook NFL betting fans. They have gone only 7 and 8 against the BetUS online wagering spread but the fact that they are winning games straight-up, as underdogs in many of those games, have to put a smile onto the faces of online football betting fans.

Week 17 NFL Spread: Patriots vs. Bills

NFL Expert Pick Patriots @ Bills

The New England Patriots travel to Buffalo to take on their AFC East rivals, the Bills, in a must win situation. The Patriots could conceivably not make it into the AFC Playoffs with a record of 11 and 5. Not only do the Pats have to beat the Bills but they have to hope that the Jets beat the Dolphins or that the Baltimore Ravens lose. The Patriots have really turned it on for sports betting fans lately covering online betting spreads with ease. Their NFL betting record against the spread is now 10 and 5 on the season. That’s a very good mark for a team playing without their starting quarterback.

NFL Week 16 Sunday Recap

Sports betting fans had grown chilly on both teams. The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans were each coming off of losses last Sunday. There had been rumblings from NFL betting fans about whether or not either team had peaked and were now slowly getting worse right before the playoffs and not better.

Monday Night Football Odds: Packers vs. Bears

NFL Monday Night Preview

Sports betting fans probably weren’t planning on watching this game as the Green Bay Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Chicago Bears, as long ago as Sunday morning, were on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs.

Now, because of Minnesota’s home loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, the Bears are right back in the middle of the NFC North Divisional title chase. Online football betting fans won’t be surprised to see that the Bears are favored at home even though they were pummeled the last time these two teams met 37 to 3. The Bears have begun to play well.

Week 16 NFL Spread: Packers vs. Bears

NFL Monday Night Odds Packers @ Bears

There’s not a single BetUS sports betting fan in the world that believed it would be the Chicago Bears fighting for a playoff spot in Week 16 while the Green Bay Packers would have lost 9 games already. The Packers just don’t have it this season. There have been moments, like their overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans, where Green Bay looked like one of the top three or four teams in the NFC Conference.

NFL Arizona @ New England Take The Over

The Arizona Cardinals travel to New England to take on the Patriots in a game that means nothing to the Cardinals and everything to New England. For sports betting fans, whether the Cardinals win or lose is a big deal in this game but to the Cardinals it probably doesn’t mean all that much.
