Following a solid run on my NFL total picks during the middle of the season things have gone downhill recently. I was able to claim at least one win in each of the previous three weeks, but last week was the big goose egg. Yep, I missed them all and I’m certainly not proud of it. You would think betting the over/under would be much easier than it actually is. It’s almost like flipping a coin and in Week 14 the coin flip probably would’ve gotten me better results.... 

Based on overall results I can say betting a NFL teaser card is easier than a parlay and wagering on the total. I say that because once again I had a three-team winner giving me seven payouts over the last 10 weeks. The idea of buying points to manipulate a spread or total in your favor should make things easier, so it’s not a complete surprise I’ve enjoyed so much success on my teasers over the last few months. It comes at a cost, though. The payout is much smaller on a teaser card for obvious ... 

A different approach on my Week 14 NFL parlay picks unfortunately yielded the same results. I’ve consistently won a few games every week but have yet to hit a four-team winner this season, and it sure would be nice to experience that before the campaign comes to a close. I did like the new approach of picking four random games rather than limiting the picks to a pair of dogs and a pair of favorites. And with bye weeks now officially done we have all 16 games from which to pick our winners.... 

The Green Bay Packers are currently 5-8 and 2.5 games out of the playoff picture. They have a long way to go if they are going to make it back to the postseason, and they cannot lose another game if they plan on sneaking into the playoffs. The good news is that they are coming off a bye week and have three of their last four games at home this season, including on Mon... 

When the New York Giants and Washington Commanders met in the Big Apple two weeks ago, 70 minutes of action was unable to separate the two teams. The Giants and Commanders played to the second tie of the 2022 season, throwing a kink into the NFC playoff picture. New York and Washington would currently be the last two Wild Card teams in the playoffs at 7-5-1 each, ensuring that every NFC East team made it to the postseason. That makes a win here especially important for either team as the victor ... 

We’ve reached the final quarter of the 2022-23 NFL betting season. That means it’s once again time to add another installment of favorite, underdog, and longshot selections to our Super Bowl LVII futures odds portfolio at the online sportsbook.To date, we’re already invested in the Buffalo Bills +650, Baltimore Ravens +2200, New York Giants +18500, Philadelphia Eagles +686, Min... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We are coming off a 3-0 record last week that takes the season record to 33-25-2 ATS. 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 have four games to look at for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 15 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

It might be next man up once again for the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo have already suffered season-ending injuries, and now Brock Purdy is questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks with an oblique injury he sustained in last week’s dominant win over Tampa Bay. If Purdy cannot play, journeyman Josh Johnson will get the start under center even though he was just signed off Denver’s practice squad last Tuesday. The San Francisco 49ers can win the NFC West with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. San Francisco has won six straight games after a 3-4 start and defeated Seattle back in Week 2. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have lost three of their last four games and could miss out on the postseason after a strong start to the year. These NFC West rivals will meet on Thursday, December 15, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video from Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. ... 

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty of the 2022-23 NFL betting season at the online sportsbook. As it stands heading into Week 14, we already own shares of Buffalo Bills +650, Baltimore Ravens +2200, New York Giants +18500, Philadelphia Eagles +686, Minnesota Vikings +2258, Pittsburgh Steelers +25000, San Francisco 49ers +1200, Seattle Seahawks +5300, and Washington Commanders +17500 to win Super Bowl LVII. We’ve done a solid job beating the market across the board though injuries to some of the teams find their odds to win it all getting fatter. That presents a buying opportunity if yet to add any of those teams to your own personal futures portfolio. I plan on releasing another batch of favorite, underdog, and longshot selections next week, so Week 14 is simply just another account of the biggest risers and fallers from the last week of play. ... 

Betting the over/under seems simple enough. Pick one side and throw down then hope the teams cooperate. In theory there’s a 50/50 chance of winning, right? That maybe so, but there are things you can do to improve your chances. I had a better week on my NFL total picks going 2-1 in Week 13 following two straight losing weekends. Checking out injury reports, current trends, matchup history and how certain key players are performing can all help make a more informed wager. It doesn’t always work o... 

The one game I felt most confident about being a winner was the only loss on my three-team NFL teaser picks last week. I guess that just proves that winning a bet isn’t easy even when you manipulate the line or spread in your favor. Following a major heater that saw me hit six three-team winners in the span of seven weeks, things have cooled off. For the second straight week I came close hitting two of three games, but as we know by now every game has to win in order to cash the ticket. In a way... 

It sure would be nice to hit a four-team winner on my NFL parlay picks since it has yet to happen. And with only five weeks remaining in the 2022 regular season time is running out. Not to be discouraged by last week’s results that saw me split four games, I’ll move ahead with all the confidence in my selections. After only one underdog on the closing NFL betting line won outright last week, I thought I would change things up a bit heading into Week 14.... 

Bill Belichick is hoping to set another record this season. Belichick has been to the playoffs 19 times, and he is tied with Don Shula as the NFL head coach with the most playoff appearances. He can be the first coach to lead his team to 20 separate postseasons if the New England Patriots can get back to the playoffs in 2022. They are currently one game out of the playoff picture at the moment, and they need a win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football to stay in the chase. The New England Patriots are hoping to stay in the playoff hunt, but they are currently one game behind the New York Jets for the final playoff spot in the AFC. They have lost two straight primetime games, and they will look to break that streak when they face the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. These teams will meet at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Monday, December 12, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. ... 

Mike McDaniel is one of the favorites to be named NFL Coach of the Year. The Miami Dolphins are likely to have their best season since 2008, and they have an outside shot of winning 12 games or more for the first time since 1990. This is the best offense we’ve seen in south Florida since Dan Marino was under center, and that’s why the Dolphins are road favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football. The Los Angeles Chargers are one game outside the playoff picture following their loss to Las Vegas last week. They are looking to get back into the hunt, but they have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season. That bodes well for the Miami Dolphins as they head to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California for Sunday Night Football on December 11, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We are coming off a 2-2 record last week that takes the season record 30-25-2 ATS. 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. There are six teams on bye this week so we have just three games to look at. Let’s look at the NFL Week 14 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

After a disastrous 2-7 start to the season, the Las Vegas Raiders were written off by pretty much everyone. However, the Raiders are now just two games behind the New York Jets for the final playoff spot in the AFC after beating three straight opponents. They are favored to make it four in a row on Thursday Night Football when they head back to their former home to face the Los Angeles Rams. The defending Super Bowl champions are on pace to be the worst team in the NFC this season. The Los Angeles Rams are 3-9 and have the worst point differential in the conference. That’s why they are close to a touchdown underdog at home for a second straight week, this time against the surging Las Vegas Raiders. These teams will meet on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. ... 

Three months of games are in the books of the 2022-23 NFL betting season. That means it’s time to dig into how the futures odds market reacted to what went down in Week 12. If you’ve been following along with my breakdowns of the Super Bowl LVII odds heading into Week 13, you’re already invested in the Buffalo Bills +650, Baltimore Ravens +2200, New York Giants +18500, Philadel... 

For the last five seasons, either the New Orleans Saints or Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won the NFC South. Those two teams were the big favorites to win the division by the NFL futures odds coming into this season, but they have not been able to separate themselves from Atlanta or Carolina. Tampa Bay is currently 2-1 against division foes, and a win over New Orleans on Monday Night Football would go a long way to helping the Buccaneers winning the NFC South for the second straight season.The NFC S... 

This is a must-win game for the Indianapolis Colts if they want to keep their rapidly diminishing playoff hopes alive. Indianapolis fell to 4-7-1 after last week’s loss to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football, leaving the Colts 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot in the conference. They face another tough test in the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this week, and a defeat would make it impossible for the Colts to finish the season with a winning record.The biggest favorite of Week 1... 

You have to take the good with the bad when it comes to betting and right now I’m taking the bad on my NFL total picks. The last few weeks remind me a lot of my golf game. I hit a number of great shots down the middle of the fairway and just when I start to think I have the game figured out the ball flies into the water or gets lost in the forest. Well, I thought I had the total picks figured out when I went 11-4 over an earlier five-week period. Then suddenly I started slicing my picks with bac... 

I guess it was bound to happen. After hitting six three-team winners in a seven week stretch I came up short on my NFL teaser picks the last two weeks. Unlike my parlay picks, though, I again came close by hitting two winners on my three-team ticket. But as we all know close doesn’t count when betting NFL teasers. If you miss one you might as well miss them all. With the bye weeks concluded we returned to a full 16-game slate last week giving us a few more options when picking games. Hopefully t... 

There was no drama last week when it came to my NFL parlay picks. Unlike Week 11 when I was one win short of hitting a four-team winner, things didn’t go according to plan. If you took my advice, I’m sorry for your loss. The good thing, if there is a good thing about losing a bet, is that there were no ‘what ifs.’ Three of my picks were losers, which is the worst week I’ve had. Sometimes things just don’t go your way and last week was that time. Nothing we can do about it now except move ahead t... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? It was a slight losing week last week, as we went 2-3 ATS and that is the way we’ll track it, but if you got the Rams at +16.5 or more then you went 3-2 ATS. That makes the season record 28-23-2 ATS. 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 have four games to look at for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 13 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

This is a tough spot for the New England Patriots. Bill Belichick is in an unfamiliar place as the Patriots are in last place in the AFC East despite being 6-5. A loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football this week would really hurt their playoff chances, especially consider they play again in Buffalo in their regular season finale. New England went 35-5 against Buffalo during the 2000s and 2010s, but Buffalo has won four out of the last five games in this rivalry including a stampede in last year’s playoffs. The AFC East is a lot more competitive than anyone thought it would be at the start of the season. The Buffalo Bills were the preseason favorites and are tied for the division lead, but the New England Patriots have dominated this division for the better part of two decades. These rivals will meet on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. ... 

Long-time center Jeff Saturday became the first NFL head coach with no previous coaching experience at the NFL or collegiate level in over 60 years when he was tapped to replace Frank Reich by Indianapolis Colts’ owner Jim Irsay a few weeks ago. Now, it’s on Saturday to steer this franchise towards the postseason, and they face a must-win game on Monday Night Football when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. A loss would drop the Colts to 4-7-1, making it very difficult for Indianapolis to get...
