BetUS NFL football betting odds: INDIANAPOLIS -3, Total 42.5
The Colts are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 42.5 points.
A lot of the speculation surrounding this game – and what caused a delay in the football betting line going up at BetUS – involved whether the Colts were going to play all their starters, and to what extent those starters were going to play.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.
Packers vs. Bears (+3)
(O/U) 41
Sunday, December 13 1:00 PM ET
The Green Bay (8-4 SU, 7-4-1 ATS, 6-6 O/U) are on a Philly-sized cheesesteak roll NFL pro football betting enthusiasts!
The Packers have won four consecutive games and looked better than ever in their dominating 27-14 Monday Night Football win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13.
Every week, the oddsmakers trot out these mega spreads whenever a “good team” plays a “bad team” and at least once a week, one of the underdogs gives the favorite a serious run for its money. It’s happened with the Browns, Bucs, Raiders, Chiefs and Rams. Now it’s the Lions’ turn, who enjoy one major advantage over the Ravens – Calvin Johnson.
Sunday, December 13 – 1 PM ET
BetUS NFL football odds: NEW ENGLAND -13.5, Total 44
The Patriots are listed as a 13.5-point favorite, with a posted total of 44 points.
Carolina got itself a win against Tampa Bay last week, and that came because the Panthers, who had been victimized by turnovers all season long (namely Jake Delhomme’s 18 interceptions) turned that stuff into their favor against rookie quarterback Josh Freeman, who tossed five footballs into the hands of Carolina’s defenders.
Jets vs. Buccaneers (+3)
(O/U) 37
Sunday, December 13 1:00 PM ET
The New York Jets (6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS, 5-6-1 O/U) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-11 SU, 4-8 ATS, 6-6 O/U) don’t have much left to play for except pride at this point of their respective regular seasons.
At a combined record of 7-17 SU, hardly anyone will be tuning in to watch the Chiefs host the Bills this Sunday. Yet, for you betting enthusiasts, this game can reap all sorts of merit for those of you that love to lump bad games in to your parlay bets.
Just one month ago, the Houston Texans (5-7 SU, 5-6-1 ATS, 4-8 O/U) were looking like a likely playoff participant easily en route to recording the first winning season in franchise history.
Now, four weeks – and four consecutive losses – later, the Texans are just trying to get back in the win column while tying the 8-8 regular season record the team has posted in consecutive seasons.
The Indianapolis Colts have met all challenges this season, mostly in convincing fashion, thanks in large part to quarterback Peyton Manning, the most studious player in the game in my estimation.
This week, the Colts will face another stiff test when they battle the Denver Broncos in an AFC matchup that could turn out to be the best game on the docket for Week 14.
Arizona Cardinals (8-4 SU & ATS) at San Francisco 49ers (5-7 SU, 7-3-2 ATS)
Monday, December 14 – 8:30 PM ET
In the BetUS NFL betting odds, the Cardinals are listed as a 3.5-point favorite, with a posted total of 44.5 points.
Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
The New Orleans Saints (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS, 7-5 O/U) dodged a huge bullet in their 33-30 overtime win over the Washington Redskins in Week 13.
The may not be as fortunate this week against a banged-up, but desperate Atlanta Falcons (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 O/U) team that would love to take their division rivals down a peg or two this week.
In order to keep their dimming postseason hopes alive for another week in the competitive NFC, the Carolina Panthers (5-7 SU, 5-7 ATS 5-7 O/U) must accomplish a feat they haven’t been able to in nearly two months – win consecutive games.
This is a game with an intensely storied rivalry that’s only furthered by the last ten games, which the Eagles and Giants have evenly split with a 5-5 SU/ATS record. Philadelphia has strung together three big wins over second-tier teams, but New York managed to stifle the Dallas Cowboys last week and are now one game shy of tying for the division lead.

Holy crap, I had no idea this game was even on the schedule. What a terrible matchup for both teams. The Chicago defense is getting torn to bits and pieces by injuries, and the Rams are just one of those teams that could explode at any given moment.
Admit it. You’re scared of that happening (just a little? C’mon!). The Rams are getting a comfortable spread, but travelling on the road against a somewhat talented Bears team should make you rightfully nervous. Let’s sort out this mess together.
Denver Broncos (7-4 SU & ATS) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-8 SU, 5-6 ATS)
Sunday, December 6 – 1 PM ET
Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO
BetUS NFL betting odds: DENVER -4.5, Total 38.5
In the BetUS NFL betting odds, the Broncos are listed as a 4.5-point road favorite, with a posted total of 38.5 points.
