Returning home after getting blown out in two straight road games was just what the San Francisco 49ers needed. They stopped a three-game losing streak with a win over the Bears making the NFC West even more congested.

With no more byes we return to a full slate of 16 games on the NFL schedule from here on out. Week 15 opens with a crucial NFC West battle between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night and concludes with a Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Chicago Bears won’t win the NFC North but they’ll play a big role in who does. Three of their last four games are a... 

The records are vastly different but the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings are fighting for the same thing when they meet on Sunday in Week 14 of the NFL season. Just a few weeks ago the Falcons were leading the soft NFC South at 6-3, but three straight losses now have them tied with Tampa Bay for the top spot. The Vikings own the second-best record in the NFL unfortunately they’... 

The Cincinnati Bengals are road favorites on Monday night, as they visit the Dallas Cowboys on ABC and ESPN. Normally this game would have been flexed out of the Monday Night Football spot, but because of Simpsons Funday Football, the game couldn’t be moved because the Bengals vs. Cowboys matchup was already set for that show. The Bengals come into this game at 4-8 and realistically out of playoff contention, while the Cowboys are 5-7 and not in much better shape in terms of playoff contention. ... 

The Kansas City Chiefs are home favorites on Sunday night as they host the Los Angeles Chargers on NBC. The Chiefs have the best record in the league at 11-1 but Kansas City has not been the best team to bet, as they are just 5-7 ATS. On the other side, the Chargers are 8-4 SU and they have been a profitable team to bet on, as they are 8-4 ATS. The Chargers boast the top defense in the league, as they are giving up just 15.7 points per game, while the Chiefs are 11th in points per game, as they ... 

A crucial showdown in the NFC North takes place in the Week 14 edition of Thursday Night Football when the Green Bay Packers visit the first place Detroit Lions.

Denver is a surprise contender for the 2024 AFC Playoffs under the leadership of head coach Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Denver is in the thick of the AFC West race as well. The Cleveland Browns will visit Denver on Monday night in what should be a win for the Broncos. More importantly, Den... 

Sunday night, what was originally thought to be a potential blockbuster matchup, is now a battle for survival. The San Francisco 49ers have fallen far short of expectations. San Francisco is running out of runway to make the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The 49ers have lost two straight games and were blown out on Sunday at Green Bay. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are coming off a bye week that followed a major home win over the then-unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo will host the desperate ... 

Thanksgiving week in the NFL is always a good time with three games on Thursday to get Week 13 of the NFL season started. In fact there will be at least one game on four of five days with the AFC West contest between Las Vegas and Kansas City taking place on Friday. With the league trying to maximize exposure over the Holiday weekend there are no byes so a full slate of 16 games is available to bet on and build... 

With time running out to make a playoff push the pressure is on the Miami Dolphins to win games. They’re faced with a difficult test on Thanksgiving night visiting the Green Bay Packers in the Week 13 edition of Thursday Night Football.

It’s been a wacky 2024 NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers one of the biggest surprises as they enter their Week 12 contest with the Green Bay Packers with a record of just 5-5. Following last year’s run to the Super Bowl, the Niners were expected to once again be a force in the NFC but they find themselves currently outside the playoff picture. The good news is that they compete in the NFC Wes... 

Week 12 concludes with an outstanding Monday Night Football matchup of top playoff contenders. The Baltimore Ravens are considered to be Super Bowl material, but their inconsistencies are driving fans and gamblers nuts. Baltimore has fallen behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for the lead in the AFC North. Of great concern is the recent red ink that the Ravens have splashed upon gamblers. Jim Harbaugh is making the Los Angeles Chargers a team built with his image in his first year on the... 

Sunday night, a potential playoff preview matchup will be on the board. The Los Angeles Rams will host the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia fans have been screaming for the head of head coach Nick Sirianni for most of the year, but he has the Eagles in the lead of the NFC East. Thus, Siriani has a cooler seat this week. Meanwhile, the Rams have been something of a tease. Head coach Sean McVay leads one of the most inconsistent teams on the NFL betting board. Both teams are showing good recent v... 

The AFC North is ultra competitive sending three teams to last season’s playoffs. It’s dropped off somewhat in 2024 but more times than not the games are grinders. The Pittsburgh Steelers went the first 10 weeks of the season without playing a divisional matchup, but they’ll make up for that the rest of the season with all six division games in their final eight. A run of four straight contests against AFC North foes started last week and continues with the Week 12 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Handicapping games between these rivals at your Crypto Sportsbook isn’t easy since you never know what can happen. The Browns earned their second win of the season in Week 8 defeating Baltimore 29-24 as a 7-point underdog. The early line has Cleveland catching 3.5-points. ...

The Houston Texans dominantly lead the AFC South. But the Texans have been inconsistent and unreliable at the betting window. Still, Houston is good enough to beat anyone that they play. Last Sunday night, the Texans had the opportunity to beat the Detroit Lions but failed to capitalize on the field, although they did send gamblers to the payout window. On Monday night, the Texans will hit the road to face the Dallas Cowboys, who are in a season of catastrophe. Dak Prescott is out with a hamstri... 

Sunday night, Cincinnati hits the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers. First-year head coach Jim Harbaugh has a team that is in the wild-card playoff hunt. Like his teams at Michigan, Harbaugh’s Chargers emphasize strong defense and elimination of mistakes. At the beginning of the season, gamblers were optimistic that the Cincinnati Bengals would show improvement. That is because of the expected recovery and return of quarterback Joe Burrow. Instead, the Bengals are struggling to gain traction... 

We have another meaningful division matchup to kick off Week 11 when the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles tangle for NFC East supremacy on Thursday Night Football.

The Miami Dolphins are a mess and won’t get any better until head coach Mike McDaniel departs. However, an even bigger problem is owner Stephen M Ross. Since taking over the team, Ross has ranked as one of the worst owners in sports. Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins are an NFL betting odds study of what doesn’t work. McDaniel is a player's coach who weeps over player injuries. As a result, Miami players take full advantage of a coach they perceive to be weak. Lenient coaches never last becau... 

The Houston Texans lead the AFC South. But the Texans have been inconsistent and unreliable at the betting window. Still, Houston is good enough to beat anyone that they play. When the Detroit Lions lost Aidan Hutchinson to injury, many fans and gamblers headed to the tall grass. It was feared that Hutchinson, as Detroit’s best player, would be too big of a loss. Instead, the Lions keep winning and printing cash. Now comes an interesting Sunday Night Football challenge on the road. NBC will be p... 

The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens both won big on Sunday setting up a crucial Week 10 Thursday Night Football matchup between the bitter AFC North rivals. A slow start that saw the Bengals win just one of their first five games leaves them with little margin for error and beating their division foes is almost a necessity if they want to get to the postseason.
