Redskins at Raiders

December 11th, 2009 No comments

Redskins at RaidersIn NFL football odds these are two once proud franchises that been severely humbled over the past decade.  The Raiders have consistently been among the worst three teams in the league in the new millennium and the Redskins have fallen to lowest point in franchise history.  On that happy note, let the games begin!

The Skins (3-9) enter this game as 1 point favorites in the NFL football odds.  Not much a cushion and more or less a wash. The Raiders (4-8) have the advantage of playing at home in front of the deranged Raider Nation, a more obnoxious and weird group of humanity voluntarily gathered in one place you will not find.

Saints Look for win at Falcons

December 9th, 2009 No comments

Saints Look for win at FalconsNew Orleans seems to be a team of fate this NFL football odds season.  The Saints have escaped from tighter jams than Houdini on their way to compiling a perfect 12-0 season record.  And anyone who saw the team’s escape act in week 13 at Washington can only marvel at how this team cheated a loss.

As such it is all but impossible to bet against this team.  If it didn’t lose to Redskins after trailing by 10 points in the 4th quarter and after getting break after wacky break it doesn’t seem possible that this team will drop a game in the football odds this season. Read more…

Colts gunning for 22nd straight win vs. Broncos

December 7th, 2009 1 comment

Colts gunning for 22nd straight win vs. BroncosThis is an interesting matchup for a number of reasons, not the least of which it’s one of the rare occasions in the NFL where fans will see horse-on-horse action.  This equine-infused contest will be a chance for Peyton Manning and his men to set an NFL mark for most consecutive regular season wins at 22.

And by all accounts, there’s no reason why Indy won’t hold this NFL football odds mark by the time the final whistle blows. Two months ago this might have been a very interesting NFL odds matchup. The Broncos and Colts were both undefeated at 5-0, but the football odds landscape has gone through quite a transition since then.

Niners Seahawks in important NFC West showdown

December 4th, 2009 No comments

Niners Seahawks in important NFC West showdownNot that many people are paying attention to the comings and goings of the NFC West (a division that has seemed relegated to second class despite producing two conference Champions in the past four years) but there is very important division match up this weekend on the NFL football odds.

The struggling Seahawks (4-7) will host the up and down Forty-Niners (5-6) in a game that could have major ramifications in how the division title race shapes up. Both teams trail the Rams (4-7) and will have to basically win out to catch them.  But this task seems much more likely for the Niners than the Hawks, which by most variables are a pretty bad team.

Battle of the big cats: Lions at Bengals

December 2nd, 2009 1 comment

Battle of the big cats Lions at BengalsIf you ever wanted to know who would win in a fight between a lion and a tiger …well, you’ll have to keep waiting to find out.  But in such a matchup of big cats in the NFL there should be little question that the Bengals will have their way with the Lions. In fact there is no wider NFL football odds spread in the week 13 action than this game.

The home team, Cincy, is favored by 13 points, which is awfully wide, but so is the gulf between these two teams.  Read more…
