Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Betting Odds: Bengals -1
The Chicago Bears have been up-and-down this season. They have looked good in their three home wins but have whiffed twice in their two road losses. Last week, the Bears played the Atlanta Falcons really tough but ended up losing the game as the Falcons scored on their last drive and the Bears could not match.
Like a giant leak on a sinking ship, one of the first signs of a poor pro football team is weak run defense. Stopping the run is essential to building a championship team. Who won the Super Bowl in January? The Steelers, a team with the No. 1 overall defense, including No. 2 against the run. In 2007, the eventual champion NY Giants were No. 8 against the run.
With the Broncos convincing 34-23 victory over the Chargers Monday night, Week 6 of the NFL season is officially in the books.
Four teams remain undefeated: New Orleans, Minnesota, Indianapolis and Denver. While three teams have yet to secure their first victory: Tampa Bay, St. Louis and Tennessee.
The undefeated Denver Broncos visit the 3 point favorite San Diego Chargers looking to seal the AFC West division early in the season in a Monday Night rivalry clash at 8:30 PM ET at Qualcomm Stadium.
NFL odds:
Denver Broncos +3
San Diego Chargers -3
O/U 44
Before the 2009 season started the Chargers were massive favorites to clinch the AC West division title, however after what the Broncos have done early this season it seems like the Chargers will have to settle for the Wildcard.
Lifeless Raiders Host Philadelphia Eagles
If you were slightly worried about Donavan McNabb’s return from a cracked rib, then he put your fears to rest by cracking out a can of whoop-ass on Tampa Bay. McNabb was near perfect last weekend with 16-of-21 for 264 yards and three touchdowns. The second best scoring offense remains intact, and gets to face the 26th ranked defense in the league when they pay a visit to Oakland this weekend.
Who Do You Trust More – Tampa Bay or Jake Delhomme?
The Panthers came off their bye week and managed to squeak by the Redskins 20-17, but they lost to the spread in the process making Jake Delhomme the single worst betting quarterback in the league (now that Sage Rosenfels is rightfully buried on the bench in Minnesota). With the Panthers winless against the spread, they’ll visit Tampa Bay, a team they beat up at Raymond James Stadium on a yearly basis. Can the road dogs show some life against a mid-level opponent?
Jacksonville Tries to Get a Home Win Over St. Louis
I mean, nobody expected Matt Hasselbeck to come back last Sunday. But then again, nobody expected the Jaguars to get blanked 41-0 last week in Seattle. No points?! None?? Now the Jags get to return home and get a verifiable gift from the schedule makers by hosting the St. Louis Rams, who are winless SU and just 1-4 ATS. Oh yeah, and they’re also cruising on an 0-15 SU losing streak that goes back to Week 6 from 2008.
Kansas vs. Washington in Most Unwatchable Game of the Week
Oh good grief. I thought last week’s schedule was bad, but I had no idea the freaking Chiefs would be playing the damn Redskins this weekend! The Week 6 NFL betting ugly blemish will pit the winless Matt Cassel crusade against the Jason Campbell letdown experience. Awesome stuff. Might as well throw some money just so you care a little.
Brett Favre Faces off Against Ravens
All the preseason chatter surrounding the Vikings circled around Brett Favre coming in after training camp, and Adrian Peterson being God’s gift to football. But what about Jared Allen, who ranks third overall with 6.5 sacks, with a fumble recovered in to a touchdown and a safety on top of it all?
The Seattle Seahawks look to build momentum as they host the 3 point underdog Arizona Cardinals in a divisional rivalry game at 4:05 PM ET at Qwest Field.
NFL betting odds:
Arizona Cardinals +3
Seattle Seahawks -3
O /U 47
Polamalu’s Return Means Big Things For Steelers’ Bettors Against Cleveland
It’s been downright ugly for the Steelers since their Super Bowl victory. They won a narrow game over the Titans to open the season, but then lost Troy Polamalu…up until today. The hard hitting Samoan safety is back after injuring his knee and that means that this Steelers defense can regain the identity it has lost in the fourth quarter.
Daunte Culpepper Gets to Face Packers off a Bye Week
The Green Bay Packers were sent back home from Minnesota with plenty to think about. I still can’t get that gloomy face of Aaron Rodgers out of my head. You look at guys like Matt Hasselbeck, Brett Favre, Shaun Hill and Chad Henne and you can feel the fire in their eyes. With Rodgers, he looks like he’s plotting some devious federal offense while plodding the offense out of a 3-and-out.
Sunday, October 18th – Heinz Field – 1:00 ET
NFL Point Spread: Steelers -14, O/U: 38
The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be back on track following two straight wins, but have had a problem putting teams away. The Lions scored late to record the back door cover and Pittsburgh’s defense continues to struggle late in games. Hard to believe but the Steelers have been outscored 55-13 in the 4th quarter this season.
