The Dolphins lost their starting quarterback and starting running-back during the football betting season, but had depth in the wings with Chad Henne and Ricky Williams. The surging Dolphins clipped the Jaguars in the tail last weekend and now must push for a playoff spot by shattering the dreams of the Titans.
Games like this with a touchdown spread are seriously difficult to gage. I usually wait until the line dips a little lower for my liking but as long as this game is sitting underneath -8.0 in favor of the Eagles, I’m taking the Niners. San Francisco isn’t a great team, but they’re a sneaky team and a road team that can catch you off guard if you just think “Niners suck” and bet against them.
In their history against one another, the Patriots have been absurdly dominant against Buffalo. The Bills haven’t beaten New England in over five years, piling up a 0-10 SU record and a 3-7 ATS streak against the Pats.
Arizona Must Prove They Can Bounce Back Against Detroit
When the Cardinals lose, they lose badly. Committing seven turnovers against San Francisco is ungodly (sorry, Kurt) but the Cardinals remain in complete control of the NFC West.
Nobody’s touching this line right now because they have no idea what the St. Louis Rams are doing at quarterback. Kind of ironic that a one-win team is being led by a rookie with the last name “Null” but no matter who the Rams hand the reigns to is inconsequential. The Texans are a proven commodity on the road.
Vegas just loves the Steelers. A two-point advantage over the Packers is absolutely ridiculous. If anything, this game should be a pick ‘em.
BetUS NCAA Basketball Odds and Preview:
Neither of these teams has been dazzling lately. Notre Dame is 9-2 SU and is at the .500 mark in college basketball betting, but the Irish have played a lot of “gimme” games, and last Saturday they fell flat is losing to West Coast Conference lesser light Loyola Marymount at home, despite making ten three-pointers.
It’s Friday, which means its parlay time. Week 15 of the NFL season is in full swing and we’ll see two unbeaten teams in action before we even hit Sunday. Nonetheless, here’s a good looking parlay for three Sunday games:
No two playoff contenders in the NFC are bewildering me more than New Orleans and Dallas. I’m actually pretty serious about this. While New Orleans is perfect, they’ve nearly lost to Washington, St. Louis and Chris Redman.
“Yeeeeeeesh! What the hell is that smell? Oh, it’s the Browns playing the Chiefs this weekend.”
“Good gracious what in the name of Satan were the schedule makers thinking when they threw this game on the board?”

The Central Florida Golden Knights take on Rutgers in what amounts to a home game in the St. Petersburg Bowl.
The game, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, isn’t that far away from the campus of Central Florida in Orlando. That makes the trip to their bowl game quite easy. That’s not the case for Rutgers who have to travel all the way from New Jersey to take on the Golden Knights.

The Wyoming Cowboys and Fresno State Bulldogs hook up in the first bowl game of the college football season, the New Mexico Bowl on December 19th.
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.
