Here are the BetUS online sportsbook football odds for this game.
Cleveland Browns +3 -105 +150 O 37 ½ -110
Denver Broncos -3 -115 -170 U 37 ½ -110
The Denver Broncos are ranked highly in the BetUS NFL Power Rankings due to a lucky play towards the end of their Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Does Denver deserve a top ranking? No. Do I expect them to keep it?
In New England, no one really knows what to make of Rex Ryan.
Since Vince Lombardi was carving up the league in the 1960s, the No. 1 rule was to never say anything that could give an opponent even an extra ounce of motivation on game day.
Ryan has basically blown up that business model, at least when it comes to the New England Patriots. The new Jets coach says he refuses to pay homage to Pats coach Bill Belichick, and furthermore he says he has a decent team in East Rutherford and plans to give NE a run for its money in the AFC East.

The Redskins invade New York to take on the Giants in a game where the NFL betting no doubt will hot and heavy! The G-Men were one of the top teams in 2008 ATS, but without Plaxico Burress and with nobody stepping it up during the pre-season to take his spot, there is talk that quarterback Eli Manning is going to have a tough time getting the ball downfield.
Stability in the NFL usually trumps change, but this game will give that theory a good test. The Carolina Panthers return basically the same team which stunk out the stadium in a bizarre playoff loss to the Cardinals last January, while the Philadelphia Eagles come in after jettisoning their best back-7 defender (safety Brian Dawkins) and in the process of figuring out what to do with Michael Vick when the former dog torturer joins the team for active duty in Week 3.
College hoops betting action moves to Pauley Pavilion on Thursday night, where two of the elite teams in the Pac-10 will do battle for conference supremacy and March Madness rankings. The Washington Huskies (19-6, 15-8 ATS) will be looking to spring the upset and sweep the regular season series of the perennial Final Four contenders otherwise known as the UCLA Bruins (19-6, 12-12 ATS).
Friday the 13th might be an unlucky day for some, but for basketball bettors at Bookmaker Sportsbook, things couldn’t be better. They’ll have their chance to sink their teeth into another fantastic Big East match-up with March Madness implications when the scorching hot Villanova Wildcats (20-4, 13-7 ATS) head to Morgantown to clash with the West Virginia Mountaineers (16-8, 9-12 ATS).
All the marbles will be on the line Wednesday night in another fantastic college basketball betting affair when the North Carolina Tarheels (21-2, 9-12 ATS) invade Cameron Indoor Stadium to do battle with the Duke Blue Devils (20-3, 11-10-1 ATS).
The biggest sports betting event of the year takes place this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals meet on the grid-iron to determine the winner of the 2008-2009 Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are the surprise team after garnering a 9 and 7 straight-up record during the regular season.
Super Bowl betting has finally arrived, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will have one final chance to boost their bankrolls for the football season. In Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals (12-7, 12-7 ATS) will look to shock the world and become improbable champions of the football world, but standing in their way will be the Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4, 11-7 ATS).
ACC CBB betting action continues on Wednesday night, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will get another chance to sink their teeth into a fantastic showdown when the Florida State Seminoles (15-3, 8-4 ATS) head down to Coral Gables to do battle with the Miami Hurricanes (13-4, 6-5 ATS).
Defense should be the name of the game in the Steel City, especially with a birth in Super Bowl XLVIII on the line, and NFL bettors will have all of the football betting lines available to them from Bookmaker Sportsbook when the Baltimore Ravens (13-5, 14-4 ATS) do battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers (13-4, 10-7 ATS) at Heinz Field in the AFC Championship Game.
The first ticket to Super Bowl XLIII will be punched on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona, allowing Bookmaker Sportsbook members a chance to sink their teeth into a fantastic showdown when the Philadelphia Eagles (11-6-1, 12-6 ATS) head to the desert to do battle with the Arizona Cardinals (11-7, 11-7 ATS) in the NFC Championship game.
The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers meet for the third time this season with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake. The Ravens will be trying to beat the Steelers for the first time this season while the Steelers will be trying to beat the Ravens for the third time this season.
Both of the teams that made it to the NFC Championship are big surprises. The Philadelphia Eagles had to beat their arch rivals, the New York Giants, on the road in order to get to the championship game. The Arizona Cardinals had to beat the two seed, the Carolina Panthers, on the road to get to the championship game. Out of the two teams, it’s the Cardinals that have provided the biggest surprises to online betting fans this NFL playoff season.
The Arizona Cardinals travel to Carolina to play in a divisional playoff game where most sports betting fans feel the Cardinals have no chance. Arizona is coming off of a spirited against the spread victory and straight-up victory over the 1 point favored Atlanta Falcons in their last game. Arizona looked very good in that game with running back Edgerrin James suddenly finding his feet.
I’m surprised that the NFL schedulers decided to make this the day game and the Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers the night game this Saturday. To me, this is the much more intriguing game, and I believe most sports bettors would agree with me, as the Baltimore Ravens defense looked absolutely spectacular this past Sunday when dominating the Miami Dolphins.
