This year the San Francisco 49ers are what they were touted to be last year with the NFL Odds. The 49ers were a trendy pick in 2018 but their season was wiped out with injuries before it even began. However, this year the Niners have stormed back with a vengeance and with substantive football. Their ascendency as the class of the NFC West is no accident. San Francisco is one of the most complete teams in the NFL. By contrast the Seattle Seahawks are getting by on the wing of quarterback Russell ... 

If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. I refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We went 1-2-1 last week to take the overall record for the season to 20-15-1. We have just three plays on this week’s NFL schedule. Let’s take a look at the Week 10 Ugly Dog picks.... 

At the beginning of the season there was no hotter brand with the NFL Odds than the Cleveland Browns. However, a few meaningless wins at the end of last season have proven to be fool’s gold. By contrast the Buffalo Bills were at best an afterthought and at worse a team seen by gamblers as “go against” material. The Bills are in prime playoff position while the Browns are on the brink of losing their season. All of a sudden, the gambling public that was so high on the Browns is now looking hard at the Bills. Cleveland hosts Buffalo on Sunday in what could be the ultimate contrarian bet scenario. Let’s take a look at this week’s Wise Guy NFL picks. ... 

Last week the Minnesota Vikings suffered an ironically painful loss with the NFL Odds at the Kansas City Chiefs. Ironic in that 50 years ago the Vikings were annihilated by the Chiefs 23-7 as 12-point chalks. Over the past five decades Minnesota has been good enough to entice gamblers into action but ultimately unable to finish. The same can be said for their quarterback Kirk Cousins. The Dallas Cowboys have also been a perpetual tease since Jimmy Johnson left town in a huff after winning his se... 

Week 9 is set to wrap from MetLife Stadium on Monday Night Football when the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants collide under the lights in the second and final meeting of the regular season between these NFC East rivals.

The defending Super bowl champion New England Patriots have run roughshod upon each of their first eight opponents to become one of only two undefeated teams to this point of the season.

But as the weeks have progressed pro coaches have done what pro coaches do which is probe and exploit for weaknesses. And the Kansas City defense offers plenty of weaknesses. The Chiefs have lost two in a row and have the look of a one-man team with quarterback Patrick Mahomes becoming increasingly worn down with having to carry the burden.

The New England Patriots are the only undefeated team remaining in the AFC, and have a good chance to keep it that way in the sixth week of the season. New England is at home against an undermanned New York Giants team.
