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. ... 

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. It has uncharacteristically been a really tough start for this column this season and we are coming off a losing week in Week 7 going 2-3. Let’s take a look at the Week 8 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

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...

A battle between AFC heavyweights closes out the Week 6 betting schedule when the Buffalo Bills visit the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football. Since losing their opener the Bills have been on a roll winning their last four games by an average of nearly 30 points while going 4-0 ATS. The Bills were rolling last year at this time making a trip to Nashville with a perfect ... 

Two of the best franchises in the NFL over the last decade have struggled to start the 2021 campaign. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks are both 2-3, and one of those teams will fall two games under .500 on Sunday night. Pittsburgh is coming off a win over Denver last week, breaking a three-game losing streak with the victory, while Seattle fell to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night and will be without Russell Wilson for the foreseeable future.... 

The Baltimore Ravens haven't been kind to those with weak hearts to this point of the season. Having already partaken in a pair of overtime games and two others that were decided by a grand total of three points, the Ravens have certainly given their wagering supporter’s their money’s worth. Regardless, John Harbaugh’s squad enters this potential playoff preview with the Los Angeles Chargers having won four of its five played games which finds the team currently sitting in the catbird seat of the AFC North. The Bolts also find themselves atop the AFC West standings having last won a barnburner at home against the Cleveland Browns in a game that played out to being a live bettor’s dream at online sportsbooks. This bout will pit two of the more exciting quarterbacks in the league up against one another which figures to have the scoreboard operators busy right from the opening kick; in the eyes of early total bettors. ...

The Baltimore Ravens reversed course after a season-opening loss running their winning streak to three by beating the previously unbeaten Broncos 23-7 last week. A fixture in primetime matchups already this season, the Ravens put their streak on the line against the Indianapolis Colts in the Week 5 Monday Night Football matchup. The Colts played a strong defensive... 

Could the Kansas City Chiefs fall to 2-3 on Sunday night? The oddsmakers certainly think there is a decent chance for that to happen as the Chiefs are less than a field goal favorite at home against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has looked like one of the best teams in the NFL since losing to Pittsburgh in its season opener, winning its last three games by a total of 97 points. The AFC Championship Game rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will take place on Sunday, October 10, 2021, at 8:20 p.m. ET from Arrowhead Stadium on NBC. ...

The New York Giants got off the schneid last week by going into New Orleans and handing the Saints an improbable overtime defeat as 7.5-point underdogs. The win amounted to their first of the 2021-22 NFL betting season. Since losing but covering against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener, the Dallas Cowboys have been on a roll having defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers to move to 3-1 SU and a perfect 4-0 ATS. With Big D currently stationed in t... 

The recent relocation of each franchise hasn’t lessened the intensity of a rivalry that dates back to the first year of the old AFL. The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers will clash for the 123rd time when they meet Monday Night in Inglewood. And for the first time in a few years both clubs have their sights set on the AFC West crown. The Raiders opened w... 

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady collectively ruled the NFL for two decades. Belichick and Brady won a record six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots before their widely publicized split in 2020. The biggest story throughout last season was whether Brady or Belichick would have the last laugh, and Brady was the clear winner after leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl. The Patriots went on to miss the playoffs, and they are in danger of missing the postseason again with a 1-2 record ahead of this Sunday Night Football showdown. Tom Brady will make his highly anticipated return when his Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 3, 2021, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. ... 

This Week 4 tilt between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers sure looked a whole lot better on paper before the regular season kicked off. Since scoring a huge upset of the Buffalo Bills on the road in its season opener, Pittsburgh has looked nothing short of dreadful in two straight losses to the Raiders and Bengals. On the flipside, the Packers have bounced back nicely with a pair of wins and covers against the Lions and 49ers since getting its salad tossed by the New Orleans Saints ...

Games within the division are always crucial, but they take on added importance in the NFC East where last season’s champ won only seven games. That probably won’t happen in 2021 with every team expected to be a little better. And we get an early season showdown for first place on Monday Night Football with the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Dallas Cowboys. The ... 

Any concerns about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were erased with a big win on Monday night. Now in the win column the Pack will try and hand the San Francisco 49ers their first defeat of the year. Following road wins over Detroit and Philadelphia, the Niners open the home portion of their schedule on Sunday Night Football as a 3.5-point favorite on the NFL betting line. Only once in the previous five meetings has a game between these two been decided by fewer than two touchdowns. Whil... 

All eyes will be on SoFi Stadium for Week 3’s afternoon slate at online sportsbooks when Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in a battle of NFC heavyweights. LA went into Raymond James Stadium in Week 11 of last season and scored a huge 27-24 outright win and cover as 4-point dogs to avenge the shocking 55-40 defeat the team was dealt the year prior when the Bucs made its trek to Tinseltown. These teams enter the third week of the regular season unblemished and atop the futures odds to win the conference. Buckle your seat belts and strap in for what’s likely to be one of the better matchups of the entire NFL betting season. ...

The Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers look to rebound from their ugly season-opening loss when they host the Detroit Lions on Monday Night in a NFC North battle. Rodgers had perhaps the worst game of his career in a 38-3 loss to the Saints, but he faces a team he’s had plenty of success against in the past. The Packers won the previous four meetings with their division riva...
