The biggest burn you could deal a hated rival in the NFL is to knock them out of the playoffs. If that’s not at the top of the list it isn’t far behind. With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Minnesota Vikings can wave goodbye to the postseason with a loss to the Green Bay Packers in this NFC North Sunday Night Football matchup. And it’s not like the Packers have n... 

Both teams have clinched a playoff berth, but the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys are heading in opposite directions ahead of their Week 17 collision. Once sitting atop the NFC standings, the Cards have dropped three in a row SU and ATS and now find themselves staring up at the Rams in the NFC West. The Cowboys put an exclamation point on their fourth straight win and cover downing Washington, 56-14, on Sunday night to secure the NFC East crown and they still have hopes of claiming the No. ... 

Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We 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 are coming off a 3-2 week with the five plays for last week. Let’s look at the Week 17 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

If the New Orleans Saints are going to sneak into the playoffs it looks like they’ll have to rely on a rookie quarterback who has yet to take a snap in the NFL to get some crucial victories at the end of the season. The Saints are reportedly putting their top two quarterbacks on the COVID list ahead of their Week 16 Monday Night Football matchup with the Miami Dolphins leavin... 

The Buffalo Bills visit the New England Patriots on Sunday in a game that can be seen on CBS. Both teams are currently in playoff position but in the very competitive AFC, nothing is assured, so this game is critical. It is also a huge game in terms of the division, as the winner will have the inside track to the AFC East title. It is a must-win game for the Bills in terms of the division, as they come into this game at 8-6, while the Patriots are 9-5. The teams met earlier this month in Buffalo... 

During a rough first season as coach of the Dallas Cowboys Mike McCarthy was on the hot seat after his team went 6-10 and missed the playoffs. The NFL is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately profession and McCarthy changed the fortunes putting his team on the verge of its first NFC East title since 2018. The Cowboys can clinch the title and a playoff berth with a win over division rival Washington Football Team when the clubs square off in the Week 16 edition of Sunday Night Football. Just a few weeks earlier the Cowboys put some distance between themselves and the rest of the division by beating the team formerly known as the Redskins 27-20 behind a relentless defense. The Cowboys were favored in that game and they are even bigger favorites this week laying 11 points on the NFL betting line. ... 

It’s a bit unfair for a team fighting for its playoff life to field a squad of backups and practice squad players for a key game this late in the season. But those are the perils of the NFL during the COVID era. The Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a huge win with a thinned out roster and a quarterback who joined the team just a few days ago. Even rescheduling the game wasn’t enough to get key personnel back on the field. At least the Browns should have some of their regulars back when they vi...

We 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’re likely to see more fans clamoring for Matt Nagy to be fired than actually rooting for the home team when the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings in the Week 15 Monday Night Football matchup. At 4-9 the Bears have already lost the most games in Nagy’s four seasons. And while they’re still mathematically in contention for a playoff spot they have a better record than... 

The New Orleans Saints’ run of four straight NFC South titles can come to an end on Sunday Night Football with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are seeking their first division championship since 2007 while trying to keep pace for the top spot in the NFC. Tampa won and covered a fourth consecutive game holding off Buffalo in overtime, 33-27, in a thril... 

The Baltimore Ravens return home from a humbling two-game road trip that saw John Harbaugh’s troops drop a pair on the moneyline at online sportsbooks against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns in an excruciating fashion. In doing so, the team fell to the No. 4 seed in the AFC which has them potentially hosting a Wild Card matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers; a team they skunked 34-6 already back in Week 6. That all depends on whether the Ravens can continue winning games wi... 

Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league.

We 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. There is no question that this season has been different, as the ugly dogs have really struggled. We’ll press on and look at the Week 15 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

A critical matchup in the AFC West gets the betting week started when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. Winners of six straight the Chiefs have regained their rightful spot atop the division standings, though the Bolts are right on their tail just a game back. With Patrick Mahomes looking as good as ever and a de... 

A showdown in the NFC West concludes the Week 14 betting slate when the Los Angeles Rams visit the Arizona Cardinals. At 10-2 the Cards own the NFL’s best record and can all but secure the division title with their second victory over the Rams. Arizona handed LA its first loss of the season back in Week 4 in convincing fashion. And the Cards weathered injuries to offensive stars Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins with both returning last week to take down Chicago. Arizona won the first meeting as a 3.5-point road dog and hit the betting board as a 3-point favorite looking for the season sweep. This regular season Week 14 matchup will take place on Monday Night Football, December 13, 2021 at 8:15 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ and will be televised on ESPN. ... 

The Green Bay Packers look to continue their dominance over the Chicago Bears when the NFC North foes renew their storied rivalry in the Week 14 edition of Sunday Night Football. The Packers are in contention for the top seed in the conference and can keep pressure on Arizona with their sixth consecutive win in the series. Coming off their bye the Packers are expected to have some key players back in the lineup in time for the stretch run. The fading Bears have dropped six of their last seven games but will have Justin Fields back in the lineup. That move didn’t sway the spread with the Packers positioned as a 12.5-point favorite on the NFL betting line ... 

Since winning but failing to cover way back in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rattled off four straight wins and pointspread covers at home versus the Falcons, Dolphins, Bears and Giants. They won those games by an average of 26.5 points while laying 11.6 points per game on average. As Darth Vader would say, “Impressive, most impressive!” That win streak will however be put to the test in Week 14 when it welcomes a pissed off bunch of Buffalo Bills into Raymond ...

We 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. The winning streak came to an abrupt halt last week, so we’ll look to bounce back this week. Let’s take a look at the Week 14 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

A rare interconference matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings kicks off the Week 14 betting slate on Thursday Night Football. Looking to erase the sting of becoming the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions, the Vikings need a win to get back in the NFC playoff picture. They’ve dropped two in a row and all seven of their losses this season have be... 

The biggest game of the Week 13 NFL betting schedule takes place on Monday Night when the New England Patriots visit the Buffalo Bills in a key AFC East showdown. The teams play twice in the span of three weeks with the outcomes playing a big part in determining the division winner. The Pats are the hottest team in the league with a six-game SU and ATS winning str... 

One win is all that separates the Kansas City Chiefs from the rest of the AFC West pack making their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Denver Broncos a huge game in the standings. The Chiefs have dominated within the division during their run of five straight titles and the Broncos have been victimized the most dropping the previous 11 meetings. And after a s... 

The luster for this first go-round between the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers has lost much of its luster with the former sitting perched atop the AFC pecking order and the latter currently sitting on the outside looking into the playoff picture. John Harbaugh’s troops enter this tilt having won and covered the closing NFL odds at online sportsbooks each of the last two weeks in a pair of hard fought victories against the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. That Week 10...

If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We 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 are coming off a 3-1 week and that makes us 10-4 over the last three weeks. Let’s take a look at the Week 13 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

The Dallas Cowboys visit the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night in a game that can be seen on FOX. Both teams are struggling of late, as the Cowboys have dropped their past two games, while the Saints have lost four in a row. Despite their recent losses, the Cowboys are in firm control of the NFC East, but the Saints are now in serious jeopardy of not making the playoffs. The Saints could be getting some good news soon, as Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram and Ryan Ramczyk returned to practice on Sund... 

The return of Russell Wilson hasn’t been able to stop the slide the Seattle Seahawks are currently in. Seattle has dropped two straight since Wilson got back in the lineup, and five of its last six games falling further off the pace in the NFC West and in the conference. The team is headed toward its worst record since Pete Carroll took over as head coach ahead of the 2010 season. The Seahawks look to stop the bleeding in Week 12 when they visit the Washington Football Team on Monday Night Football. The team formerly known as the Redskins has been wagered up to a slight favorite after hitting the board as a 3-point underdog. ... 

With both teams having questions regarding their starting quarterback ahead of their Week 12 Sunday Night Football matchup, it might be more interesting to bet on who plays. The critical AFC North contest between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens could be a battle of backups. With Lamar Jackson a late scratch last week with an illness, Baltimore rallied be...
