The New York Giants (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/ U), bounced back from their resounding Monday night defeat to the Cleveland Browns by beating the San Francisco 49ers 29-17 on Sunday to narrowly cover as 10-point home favorites in the BetUS Sportsbook just as I predicted last week.
The Tennessee Titans (6-0 SU, 6-0 ATS, 3-3 O/U), remained the only perfect team in the league, moving to a perfect 6-0 by laying a huge ‘smackdown’ on the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs, winning 34-10 to easily cover as 9-point road favorites for BetUS NFL Sportsbook bettors.
An initial glimpse at the early lines for Week 8 in NFL betting reveals nothing surprising, although there are some numbers that have handicappers talking.
One game where the line will surely move before kickoff is the Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins matchup, where oddsmakers opened the Fish as 1.5-point home underdogs early on Monday.

Is it time to fade the picks in Quick Hits?
After giving bettors a number of winning weeks last season, Cras is having a tough time figuring out the increasingly complicated NCAA schedule and the numerous upsets of the top-ranked teams.
Even he admits that this week’s picks may be worth a fade after a disappointing 1-3 record last Saturday.
Here’s what he’s thinking this week:
The two teams who met in the ACC championship game last season will meet up again on Saturday, as the Boston College Eagles (4-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) play host to the Virginia Tech Hokies (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA college football betting action that is set to get underway at 8 PM ET at Alumni Stadium (artificial turf) in Chestnut Hill, MA.
The Purdue Boilermakers (2-4 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) have been overwhelmed by a difficult early schedule. On Saturday they will try to start turning things around when they face the Wildcats of Northwestern (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA football action in the Big Ten Conference, scheduled to get underway at Noon ET at Ryan Field (natural turf) in Evanston, IL.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (6-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) has been sailing along with one of the most explosive offenses in the country. On Saturday the Hurricane hopes it doesn’t lose momentum as it touches ground, as it hosts the MIners of the University of Texas at El Paso (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in an NCAA college football matchup that is slated to kick off at 8 PM ET at Chapman Stadium (artificial turf) in Tulsa, OK.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-0 SU, 2-1-1 ATS) are having a fantastic season, undefeated and still very much in the running for the national championship. On Saturday they take to the road, traveling to College Station to meet up with the Aggies of Texas A&M (2-4 SU, 1-5 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference, scheduled to take place at Noon ET at Kyle Field (natural turf).
The USC Trojans (4-1 SU & ATS), who after two consecutive blowout victories like to think they;re back on a path to a possible national title game, will engage in a workout up in Pullman, WA on Saturday when they take on the outmanned Washington State Cougars (1-6 SU, 0-6 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Pacific-10 Conference, scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM ET at Martin Stadium (artificial turf)
The Mean Green of North Texas (0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS) will try to put their first win of the season on the board on Saturday when they lock horns with the Warhawks of Louisiana-Monroe (1-5 SU, 2-3 ATS) in a Sun Belt Conference game in NCAA football that is scheduled for 7 PM ET at Malone Stadium (natural turf) in Monroe, LA.
A solid week gets us back into the plus territory – let’s see if we can keep it rolling this week and we approach the halfway point of the college football season.
Record: 19-7 (+3.6 units)
The Stanford Cardinal (4-3 SU & ATS) crept over the .500 mark last week with its win over Arizona. This weekend they try to move closer to bowl eligibility when they visit southern California to play the UCLA Bruins (2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Pacific-10 Conference that is set to begin at 4 PM ET at the Rose Bowl (natural turf) in Pasadena, CA.
The Arkansas Razorbacks (3-3 SU, 1-4 ATS) are coming off a big upset win, and on Saturday they are set to tangle with the defensively-stout Kentucky Wildcats (4-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Southeastern Conference that is set to kick off at 7 PM ET at Commonwealth Stadium (natural turf) in Lexington, KY.
