NFL football odds handicappers believe that just like Gabe Kotter, Brett Favre is going back to his roots. But unlike Mr. Kotter he won’t have a catchy theme song, sweat hogs, or any love from the locals in his homecoming.
When the Packers host the Vikings on Sunday afternoon it could very well be the most hostile NFL odds crowd that Favre has ever played in front of.
It’s hard to say, the Lambeau fans tend to be a courteous bunch and by most accounts rarely boo any opponent. But as everyone on the planet earth has heard by now, they’ve never hosted an opponent so near to their hearts as Favre. Read more…
In the NFL football odds battle for the AFC East the Dolphins have little hope retaining its crown. But any defense it hopes to mount must begin with a road win over the hated New York Jets this Sunday.
The Jets have been up and down the past few weeks but after a massive beating handed out to the Raiders in Week 7 it looks like the team might have righted the ship.
The NFL football odds list the Jets as 3½ point favorites at home.
The first time these two teams met the Dolphins got the better of the match up. They shut down rookie QB Mark Sanchez and played ball control offense keeping the ball out of the Jets hands and pounding them to death with a steady diet of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams in the NFL odds victory.

There is plenty of good NFL football odds news in Oakland these days. Their head coach will not be arrested for assault and battery and the team has strung together its longest win streak of the year at one game.
In New York the picture isn’t quite so rosy. The Jets have dropped three in a row and the rookie QB Mark Shanchez has been perfecting his Jake Delhomme impression tossing 8 INTs in his last three NFL football odds games (5 alone in week 6).
But the good news in the Big Apple this week is that the Jets will play the Raiders in the NFL odds. And that is the perfect medicine for rookie QB struggling with confidence and execution issues. Read more…
The monkey is off rookie head coach Todd Haley’s back into the NFL football odds. He finally got that elusive first win of the season on his sixth try.
Now the real challenge will be stringing together two of those precious entities and creating a win streak. He’ll have just such an opportunity this week when the reeling Chiefs come to town and by most indications he will fail.
The Chiefs are a rotten team. But the team’s short-comings in the NFL football odds can hardly be pinned on Haley or new operations guru Scott Pioli, they didn’t create this mess, they’ve just been brought in to clean it up.
And the biggest problem facing them is the team’s lack of talent and coaching can only go so far in resolving that NFL odds issue.

The New Orleans Saints are on top of the NFL football odds after knocking off the undefeated Giants.
They have to be considered the best team in the NFL until someone knocks them off the perch, and that someone could very well be the Miami Dolphins. When the New Orleans Saints go to Miami they will face a very interesting challenge. Forget that the Dolphins are just 2-3. You can throw the team’s NFL football odds record out the window as the squad is notoriously slow starting.
But what the Saints should take note of is the Dolphins’ unorthodox offense. The Wild Cat has been called every name in the book and most teams in the NFL odds view it as nothing more than a gimmick. And for most teams that all it is, but for the Dolphins it’s religion and they are highly invested in it. Read more…
