Old School Meets New School
Suicide pools have been impossible to try to run this year, knowing that two things have been happening a ton this year. First off, there haven't been all that many obvious choices to make. Secondly, many of those seemingly obvious choices have ended in disaster. If by chance you're still alive in your suicide pool, best of luck trying to figure out which team to pick in Week 6 in what might be the most level playing field we've seen all season long in the NFL....
The Seahawks got their season back on the right path with a pair of home wins and now take flight to face the undefeated Bengals on Sunday. The Legion of Boom is back, allowing just a field goal in 20 opponent possessions in those wins. The Bengals are one of six unbeatens remaining and can silence the rest of the critics by improving to 5-0 for the first time since 1988, the year of their last Super Bowl appearance....
New England was supposed to be the team without its starting quarterback entering this inter-conference matchup with Dallas. Instead the Cowboys are just trying to stay afloat without Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and now running back Lance Dunbar as the injuries continue to mount. Tom Brady had his four-game suspension overturned prior to the season and has been on fire, leading the Patriots to a 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS record this season....
With dreams of playing in Super Bowl 50 on their home field all but done, the 49ers would take being competitive right now following three straight blowout losses that saw them get outscored by a combined 79 points.The Giants, meanwhile, have a chance to stay on top of the NFC East and improve on their 3-1 ATS record against the Niners, who are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10....
The Cardinals got a wake-up call last week, getting knocked from the unbeaten ranks by the Rams. The Lions’ first win of the season was knocked out of the back of the end zone in Seattle. Detroit will try again for its first win of the year and will have to end a six-game losing streak to the Cardinals to get it this week....
Since Peyton Manning joined the Broncos for the 2012 season, they’ve owned the AFC West. Manning is 18-1 against division foes and leads the undefeated Broncos in search of their eighth straight win over Oakland. It’s been so bad for the Raiders, they hired former Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio as head coach to try and reverse their fortunes....
The discrepancy between sharp and square plays is usually apparent in the NFL, but in Week 5 of the season, that gap is incredibly large and is causing some major line movements in some of these games.Note: All current NFL odds listed as of Thursday morning. Logon to BookMaker Sportsbook for up-to-the-minute odds....
Michael Vick was really put into an unfair situation in Week 4. He was asked to start on a Thursday night just four days after Ben Roethlisberger was injured. Now, the new Pittsburgh Steelers' starter will get the benefit of a long week of prep to get ready for a crucial tilt with the San Diego Chargers....
We had some decent picks last week with David Carr, Mark Ingram and Danny Woodhead, but swung and missed bigtime with Andrew Luck who didn’t even play as well as Julio Jones and Seth Roberts. Let’s give it another crack in Week 5 and see what we can do.The players listed below will help get you in the money, but you’ll need to put the work in to have a shot at finishing in the green in Week 5....
The Eagles and Saints have struggled for vastly different reasons this season. They’ll try and figure it out against each other on Sunday. Surprisingly, Philly’s offense has been stagnant, ranking near the bottom of the NFL in every offensive category. Under bettors aren’t complaining, however, as all four of the Eagles games have gone under the total....
The unbeaten Atlanta Falcons will look to stay perfect both straight up and against the spread when they host the Redskins on Sunday. The Falcons have been an early season surprise and one of the most dominant teams in the NFL so far, and they’re 4-1 SU in their last five games as favorites against the Redskins....
Baltimore owns the AFC North rivalry with Cleveland, winning 13 of the last 14 meetings outright and seven straight at MT Bank Stadium. The Browns are 4-2-1 ATS over the last seven series meetings and gave the Ravens several scares. But with the Browns struggling, the vow of owner Jimmy Haslam not to “blow things up” is being tested....
At this time last week, we never envisioned that either Andrew Luck or Joe Haden wouldn't play for their respective teams due to injuries which were originally reported as minor. It's just proof that NFL injuries are always worth looking at, which is what we'll do today as we are about halfway to the main portion of the slate in Week 5....
There was a point that both Andrew Luck and Ryan Mallett were in definite doubt to play on Thursday Night Football for the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans respectively. Both are going to play this week though, and that will give Luck a massive advantage for fantasy betting purposes at BookMaker....
Death, taxes and Antonio Brown picking up at least five catches for at least 50 yards. Those were the certainties in life until Ben Roethlisberger got hurt....
No one is going to debate the fact that the New York Giants are the better team against the San Francisco 49ers. It's really easy to make a case for New York in this game from a betting standpoint, knowing that the Niners have been a wreck and have to travel all the way across the country. But is it a smart idea to play Eli Manning against Colin Kaepernick in BookMaker's fantasy matchup? That's a much different conversation which begs to be had....
Theoretically, the Dallas Cowboys really don't have a whole heck of a lot of a shot of beating the New England Patriots. However, there is a great way to find a way to win by betting on Dallas in this game, and that is going to be on fantasy football bets. Rob Gronkowski will be matched up with Joseph Randle and will likely be a favorite by BookMaker's standards, but that certainly isn't justifiable from our standpoint....
There's no doubting the fact that the San Francisco 49ers have one of the worst and most dysfunctional teams in the NFL. They're easy to bet against in just about any situation, but sharp bettors using live betting might take note of them on Sunday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 5....
The Houston Texans have never had the greatest luck in the world against the Indianapolis Colts, and that has us very worried about their prospects of having any success in what might be a make-or-break game....
You're not going to find a play on the board in Week 5 which is more sharp than the San Francisco 49ers. It's easy to see why they might be the worst team in the NFL, but don't think that the oddsmakers don't know that. The New York Giants are coming off of a great game against the Buffalo Bills, but we really wonder just how strong they really are....
Rex Ryan is a peculiar man. He drives around in a pickup truck with a Buffalo Bills logo on the side of it, and he says things like, "I'd rather have the more aggressive team on the field," almost promoting the fact that he was okay with his team committing a season-worst 17 penalties last week in a loss to the Giants.However, he has a lot going for him going into Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans which could give live bettors a big shot in the arm....
The Kansas City Chiefs might very well go on to win 10 games this season, but it's really tough the way they're built to see how they are going to cover double-digit spreads against even the worst teams in the NFL. That said, live bettors might have a really great opportunity this week to go against the grain just a bit when the Chicago Bears come to Arrowhead....
The undefeated Packers proved they can win even when Aaron Rodgers isn’t slinging the ball all around the yard and are the favorite to win Super Bowl 50 after four weeks of NFL action. Green Bay has put cash in the pockets of its bettors also, going 4-0 ATS this season and 8-2 in its last 10 regular season games at Lambeau Field....
This could be the game to see which coach is the next to go. Both Jacksonville’s Gus Bradley and Tampa Bay’s Lovie Smith are on the hot seat after disappointing starts to the season. But the problems go further back for both. We can pretty much guarantee one thing this week: a team from the state of Florida will get a win. But the way things are going a tie can’t be ruled out. It’s not the most attractive matchup on the schedule but both teams desperately need a win....
Of all of the undefeated teams in the NFL, none are more intriguing right now than the Atlanta Falcons. They haven't played the greatest schedule on the face of the earth yet, and we probably aren't going to get many answers this week about just how good they are either when they take on the Washington Redskins....
