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. ... 

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 turned the corner last week with a 4-2 record in Week 4. Let’s take a look at the Week 5 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

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... 

The Kansas City Chiefs go for their fifth straight win over the Baltimore Ravens when the AFC heavyweights collide on Sunday Night Football to close the NFL Week 2 weekend betting schedule. Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a comeback win over Cleveland last week with another scintillating performance. However, they failed to cover the spread and are just 2-10 ATS in their la... 

Week 2’s late afternoon slate offers up some juicy matchups to dig into at online sportsbooks with one of them going down on the fast track of SoFi Stadium where the Los Angeles Chargers will attempt to keep the Dallas Cowboys out of the win column. LA escaped D.C. with an outright win and cover against the NFL odds in Brandon Staley’s head coaching debut last Sunday, while “America’s Team” dropped a tough last second decision to Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champs in the Thursday nigh...

The Monday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders closes the Week 1 NFL betting slate. Positioned as a top contender in the AFC the Ravens are already facing adversity before taking the first snap of the season. The team lost several players to season-ending injuries over the past few days with the running back spot being hit the har... 

The addition of Matthew Stafford has the Los Angeles Rams thinking Super Bowl this season. Stafford is expected to upgrade an offense that regressed the last few years under Jared Goff and the team jettisoned the former No. 1 overall pick for another No. 1 overall pick. He wasn’t drafted first overall but the Chicago Bears used a high pick to nab Justin Fields, who could be the franchise quarterback the team has longed for. But the Bears aren’t ready to throw their rookie to the wolves, instead ...

Due to Hurricane Ida flooding the bayou, the Week 1 tilt between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints will now be held at a neutral venue in Jacksonville. Sean Payton’s squad was already up against it running up against the defending NFC North champs for this season opener, and now his team will be without the benefit of a solid home field advantage in their corner. The Cheeseheads are once again expected to be one of the NFC’s frontrunners, while online sportsbooks aren’t nearly as bull... 

The defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 9th in a game that can be seen on NBC. The Cowboys will finally have Dak Prescott back under center, but the Cowboys are listed as a 7-point underdog against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Both teams have potent offenses and oddsmakers expect a high scoring game, as the total is listed at 51.5. Let’s look at the matchup and Week 1 NFL picks.... 

A quarterback has taken home the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award each of the last three seasons. Alex Smith won it last season with Ryan Tannehill and Andrew Luck before him. That made it 13 of 19 seasons that a field general took home the distinguished award. A quick glance of the 2021-22 CBOY Award odds finds a quadrant of field generals sitting atop the heap led by none other than Dak Prescott who was on the verge of smashing Dallas Cowboys record books before a gruesome ankle injury en... 

Defensive Player of the Year Award talks have begun and ended with Los Angeles Rams’ defensive tackle Aaron Donald who became one of only three players to win the award three times after beating out T.J. Watt a season ago. Online sportsbooks pegged him the odds on favorite to win it a fourth straight time in 2021, but the betting markets have reshaped things just a bit heading into Week 1 of the NFL betting season. A defensive lineman has taken home the honors in six of the last ten seasons, and... 

The table listed below relays the current odds for the first NFL coach to be fired as well as where they originally hit the board. A quick glance at online sportsbook’s offerings lets it be known who is safe and who finds their derrières situated on the hot seat entering the regular season. Mike McCarthy undoubtedly has the most pressure thrust upon his shoulders with the Dallas Cowboy... 

The best running back in the NFL is looking to become the first running back since Emmitt Smith to lead the league in rushing for three consecutive seasons. Derrick Henry has been awfully impressive throughout the course of his career. Henry became the all-time leading national rusher in high school by running for over 12,000 yards at tiny Yulee HS north of Jacksonville. He went on to excel at Alabama, winning the Heisman Trophy as a junior after running for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns....
