Another loaded slate is set to go down at online sportsbooks in the Week 12 afternoon slate with the matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers the crème de le crème of the bunch. This is a big spot for Sean McVay’s troops with LA falling all the way down to the NFC’s No. 5 seed after dropping a head scratching 31-10 decision on MNF to the division rival San Francisco 49ers before going on bye. The defeat was the first absorbed on the road through five tries (2-3 ATS). As for Gre... 

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 and that makes us 7-3 the last two weeks. Let’s take a look at the Week 12 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

Two teams that were thought of as sure playoff teams, but have struggled recently, meet on Thursday Night, as the Buffalo Bills visit the New Orleans Saints. It was just a few weeks ago that the Bills were thought to be one of the top teams in the NFL but Buffalo has dropped two of three games and they now trail New England in the AFC East. The Saints were considered a th... 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not lost three consecutive games since Tom Brady joined the franchise. They’ll take a two-game losing streak into their Week 11 Monday Night Football tilt with the New York Giants. Brady has been part of the problem throwing a pair of picks in each of the two losses during the skid and the offense soured matching a season-low point to... 

The Week 11 Sunday slate of games concludes with a critical AFC matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers. Pittsburgh extended its unbeaten streak to five games by tying Detroit last week, but they could end up regretting not getting a win over the worst team in the league. The Chargers are heading the other direction with Sunday’s loss to Minnesota their third in four games. Ben Roethlisberger missed Sunday’s contest after testing positive for COVID and he could be on the... 

The Week 11 afternoon NFL betting slate is the nuts! Three games with three point spreads of a field goal or less? I’d buy that for a dollar! One of those matchups pits a pair of Super Bowl LVI contenders up against one another with Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys set to square off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in an expected high scoring affair. Each team enters this epic non-conference showdown having flexed their muscles with Big D skunking the Atlanta Falcons 43-3 at...

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 finally turned the corner last week with a very profitable 4-1 record. Let’s take a look at the Week 11 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

Losers in five of their last six games and winless at home this season, the San Francisco 49ers look to put a stop to both skids when they host the Los Angeles Rams in the Week 10 edition of Monday Night Football. The Rams will attempt to get back in the win column and stay within striking distance of NFC West leader Arizona after a humbling setback to the Titans last week put an end to their 4-game winning streak. The Rams will have to stop a 4-game losing skid to the Niners and they are positioned as a 4-point favorite on the NFL betting line to do that. This regular season Week 10 matchup will take place on Monday, November 15, 2021 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA and will be televised on ESPN. ... 

To say the AFC West is up for grabs doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. All four teams enter Week 10 with five victories making games within the division even more important. The weekend closes with a bitter matchup between longtime rivals the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football. The Raiders are coming off an upset loss to the Giant... 

The gauntlet of a schedule the Minnesota Vikings have recently been forced to deal with picks right back up in Week 10 with Mike Zimmer’s troops venturing into Tinseltown for a date with Justin Herbert and the AFC West leading Los Angeles Chargers. By going into the City of Brotherly Love and coming out with a last second win against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon Staley’s squad currently rates out as the No. 3 seed in the AFC behind the Baltimore Ravens and top-seeded Tennessee Titans. As for SKOL, it currently sits on the outside looking into the NFC playoff picture due entirely to its five overall losses coming by an average of just 3.6 points per game. They could be the top seed in the conference had things broken their way! With that, this matchup is likely to be very competitive as evidenced by online sportsbooks only installing the Bolts field goal home favorites against a five-loss opponent. Due to Minnesota’s inability to win close games, the betting markets have lined up in droves to back the Chargers on the NFL odds. ...

Teams headed in opposite directions collide on Monday Night Football when the Chicago Bears visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in an interconference tilt. The Steelers followed up a three-game losing streak by winning three straight. They are right back in the race for the AFC North title while moving into a playoff spot in the conference. Offensive woes continue to hold back the Bears, who have lost three in a row SU and ATS. Pittsburgh opened as a 5-point favorite with the spread growing throughout the week. Oddsmakers aren’t expecting a lot of points with the total at a Week 9 low 38.5. This regular season Week 9 matchup will take place on Monday, November 8, 2021 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA and will be televised on ESPN. ... 

The Tennessee Titans were cruising with a four-game winning streak following last week’s triumph over division rival Indianapolis. At 6-2 they own the best record in the AFC with convincing triumphs over heavyweights Buffalo and Kansas City. However, they suffered a major blow last Sunday when NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry was diagnosed with a foot injury that will require surgery putting him on the shelf for the rest of the season. We’ll see how the Titans respond without Henry when they take on the Los Angeles Rams in the Week 9 edition of Sunday Night Football. The betting world reacted shifting the opening line from LA -4 to -8 soon after the news was revealed. ... 

The COVID monster has completely changed the dynamic of the Week 9 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs. It kept Davante Adams and other wide receivers out of last week’s game in Arizona, but Matt LaFleur’s troops still overcame the absences and came up with the impressive 24-21 outright win as 6.5-point desert dogs. But this time around, Aaron Rodgers will be prevented from nestling in under center which affords the Chiefs struggling defense a likely easier go of it agai...

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. It has been a really tough start this season but last week may have been a turning point. If you waited until Sunday, as the odds continued to go higher, then you went 3-2-1 against the spread. Let’s take a look at the Week 9 Ugly Dog Picks. ... 

The Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to snap out of a funk that has them below .500 for the first time since Patrick Mahomes became the team’s starting quarterback when they host the New York Giants in the Week 8 edition of Monday Night Football. The two-time defending AFC champions are mired in a two-game losing streak that has them at the bottom of the AFC West standings, and their issues appear to be much deeper. But it’s nothing a victory can’t solve and the Chiefs are positioned as a 9.5-poi... 

Halloween will give us one last treat on Sunday Night when the Minnesota Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys. This has the appearance of a trick for the Cowboys though. Dallas opened as a short favorite per the NFL betting odds and the sharp money has come in on the side of the Vikings. Both teams had last week off in order to get healthy, and that should help Minneso... 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have proven to be heavy liabilities for online sportsbooks in just about every one of their games played to this point of the NFL betting season. That trend will continue in Week 8 when Tom Brady and his Buc teammates storm the bayou looking to take an even bigger stranglehold hold of the NFC South over the New Orleans Saints than they already have. Tampa enters this tilt red hot having taken four straight since falling to the Rams in Tinseltown, while the Saints are on a two-game win streak of their own after outlasting the Seattle Seahawks in last week’s installment of Monday Night Football in front of the 12th Man. The Saints dominated the Bucs in each of last year’s regular season meetings outscoring them by the aggregate score of 72-26 before the Buccaneers had the last laugh in the playoffs by logging the 30-20 outright win and cover as 2.5-point underdogs per the closing NFL odds. This is however a much different Saints team with Jameis Winston at the controls. It’ll be interesting to see what Sean Payton cooks up so the offense doesn’t remain so reliant upon Alvin Kamara to move the ball and put points on the board. ...

We don’t preview many Thursday night games, but the matchup this Thursday is between two of the best teams in the NFL, as the Green Bay Packers visit the Arizona Cardinals in a game that can be seen on FOX. The Packers are 6-1 with Aaron Rodgers leading a potent offense, while the Cardinals are 7-0 and the only unbeaten team in the NFL. The early money on this game has come in on the Cardinals, as they have gone from a 3-point favorite to a 4-point choice. Let’s look at this contest and Thursday Night NFL picks. ... 

A pair of teams looking to remain relevant in the NFC playoff picture hook up on Monday Night Football to conclude the Week 7 betting slate. Coming off their bye the New Orleans Saints look to win consecutive games for the first time hitting the board as a 3.5-point road betting favorite for their contest with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are trying to stay afloat waiting for Russell Wilson to mend. In their first game in nearly a decade without Wilson starting the Seahawks fell in Pittsburgh, their second consecutive defeat dropping them to 2-4. ... 

We’ll see just how good the Indianapolis Colts are on Sunday Night Football when they head west to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Indianapolis is in second place in the AFC South coming into this game, but the Colts are just 2-4 and their wins have come over 1-5 Miami and 1-5 Houston. San Francisco is 2-3 and has yet to win a home game, as the 49ers are once aga... 

The AFC South leading Tennessee Titans just came up with their best win of the season after fighting tooth-and-nail with the Buffalo Bills to come out with the impressive 34-31 outright win and cover as 6-point home underdogs per the closing Week 6 NFL odds. Their reward for pulling off such a feat is a date with Patrick Mahomes and the win-hungry Kansas City Chiefs; schedule makers are unkind! Andy Reid’s squad got back on track last week by going into Washington and taking care of business aga...
