NFL Power Rankings Week 12

Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 12 (Last week's ranking is in brackets):


1 (1) Indianapolis Colts (10-0) Can the team go 16-0? Somewhere Mercury Morris is crapping his pants.

2 (2) New Orleans Saints (10-0) Don't believe me that the Saints are among the NFL elite. Listen to Bill Belichick, who said that the Saints are the best team in the NFL. Of course, Belichick may have said that to lull the Saints into a sense of security. Damn you, Belichick! You're so devious.

3 (3) Minnesota Vikings (9-1) Brett Favre for MVP. Uh, no.

4 (5) New England Patriots (7-3) Can we now get past the whole Belichick 4th and 2 call? Football people say it was a bad call; math nerds say it was the right call. We get it.

5 (10) San Diego Chargers (7-3) The Chargers defense needs to stay out of bars and away from Tila Tequila.

6 (4) Cincinnati Bengals (7-3) The Bengals were stymied by the juggernaut that is Bruce Gradkowski.

7 (7) Dallas Cowboys (7-3) Their win over the Redskins felt like a loss.

8 (8) Arizona Cardinals (7-3) That Beanie Wells is coming along nicely.

9 (11) Philadelphia Eagles (6-4) For once, Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb showed they can engineer a fourth-quarter comeback.

10 (6) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) The Steelers really need to do something about special teams.

NFL Sunday Night Football Betting - Indianapolis Colts Vs. Baltimore Ravens

NFL Sunday Night Football Betting - Indianapolis Colts Vs. Baltimore Ravens

In the NFL Football betting lines, Few bookies listed the Colts a one-point favorite, with a posted total of 44.5 points.

Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

* IND has won its last 18 regular season games SU
* IND has covered five of its last six road games
* IND has won eight of its last nine road games SU
* BALT has covered 17 of its last 23 games
* BALT has won 16 of its last 23 games SU
* BALT has lost four of its last six games SU
* BALT has played four of its last five games UNDER the total
* BALT has won and covered four of its last five home games
* BALT has played six of its last seven home games UNDER the total

Also...

* IND has won the last six meetings SU
* IND has covered the last five meetings
* Five of the last six meetings have gone UNDER the total
* Five of the last seven meetings in Baltimore have gone OVER the total


Last year it got ugly for this Ravens team, when it visited Lucas Oil Stadium. Peyton Manning threw for 258 yards, Joe Flacco threw three interceptions, and the Ravens turned it over five times overall as they were smashed by a 31-3 count.

Certainly they are seeking revenge, and they have favorable scheduling conditions too. Indianapolis Colts is coming off that dramatic 35-34 victory over the Patriots, aided by the bonehead call by Bill Belichick to go for a first down on fourth-and-one from his own 28-yard line.

That was quite a draining game for Manning and the Colts, while on the other side, Baltimore Ravens may have had one eye on this one as it coasted to a 16-0 win over the hapless Browns.

The offense was choppy for the Ravens on Monday night, but it's been part of a pattern. They gained only 274 yards, which makes it three straight games that they have tallied less than 300 yards. That would seem to make it difficult to trade points with the Colts, although interestingly enough, in the yards-per-point category, Indianapolis is at 14.3, while Baltimore has shown itself to actually be more efficient overall, at 14.1.

There was no question that Tom Brady was able to exploit the holes in the Indianapolis secondary, which was missing three of its starters Sunday night due to injury. Brady threw for 375 yards and three scores. Matt Schaub had 311 yards the week before. Is Joe Flacco that capable, and does he have the set of receivers to make it happen? Flacco has thrown for over 300 yards three times this season, though of course, he hasn't done in any of the last three games. There wasn't a lot of sharpness out there against the Browns.

Indianapolis, a team that has pulled off big victories plenty of times in the recent past, and Manning, who is as cool a customer as exists, aren't as likely to suffer the "letdown" as most teams would, especially with an undefeated record and home field advantage in the playoffs well within their sights.

Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers Live Streaming NFL Betting Picks & Odds

Miami Dolphins Vs. Carolina Panthers Live, NFL Week 11, 8:20 p.m. EST, Thursday, November 19, 2009, Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte.

Two of the top five running teams in the NFL meet up on Thursday night, as the Carolina Panthers host the Miami Dolphins.

Both of these teams have two quality running backs. The Dolphins have Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, and the Panthers have DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers run a conventional style, while the Dolphins often use the wildcat formation. But Brown and Williams are banged up with injuries. Williams played on Sunday and should be good to go on Thursday. Brown hurt his ankle on Sunday and is likely out on Thursday. Without Brown, the Dolphins will have to rely on Williams, and they may opt to let Chad Henne pass the ball more than usual.

Henne has 990 passing yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions with a 58.9 completion percentage. Brown has 648 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. Williams has 558 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. The Dolphins running backs have accounted in some way for 16 of the team's 21 offensive touchdowns this season.

The Dolphins are coming off a dramatic 25-23 win over the Buccaneers. The Dolphins held a 22-16 lead in the fourth quarter until the Bucs scored a touchdown with 1:14 remaining. But Henne led the Dolphins on a four-play, 68-yard drive that lasted a minute, including two passes to Davone Bess for 41 yards and a 27-yard run by Williams, to set up a game-winning field goal by Dan Carpenter with 10 seconds left in the game.

The Panthers are coming off a 28-19 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Panthers have won four of their last six games after starting off 0-3. Against the Falcons, the Panthers unleashed a no-huddle offense that was quite successful for quarterback Jake Delhomme. He threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns.

Any time Delhomme can throw decently and not turn the ball over, the Panthers have a great chance to win. DeAngelo Williams ran for 92 yards, and Stewart ran for 82 yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers gave up 111 yards on just nine carries to Falcons running back Michael Turner before he left with an injury. The Falcons had 176 total rushing yards. That's not a good sign for the Panthers defense heading into a game against the Dolphins.

NFL Week 11 Predictions

With the half way mark of NFL season, NFL Week 11 Predictions are right around the corner. This time, sports punters will have fun over NFL Week 11 for their betting prospects.

Week 11 NFL Picks were already depicted and most people believe they were quite interesting and there were controversy too for various reasons. How ever, Week 11 NFL Predictions are here and I’ll be updating you on the upcoming NFL Week Predictions too.

The following are NFL Week 11 Predictions, let's have a look and it would be great if you express your opinions on this:

Carolina 24, Miami 21:
These are two 4-5 teams that seem to play. Comparatively, Panthers are better but Dolphins have ability for big play and they can ameliorate their score.

Pittsburgh 31, Kansas City 17:
Against the Bengals, the Steelers played such a poor game and they will be looking to get back on their path. Despite a win of KC against Oakland, it was still only a win against them.

Detroit 20, Cleveland 13:
Week 11 bums are here.

New Orleans 31, Tampa Bay 10:
For last couple of weeks, Buccaneers have been so competitive but they have not played a defense any where as Saints did.

NY Giants 28, Atlanta 24:
For four straight losses, the bye week will have helped the Giants correct what ever led them. At home, the Falcons have been starring but have struggled on the road.

Jacksonville 24, Buffalo 14:
Statistically, the Bills are really near the bottom of the league. Though Jaguars do not have the best defense but still they can minimum score.

Dallas 31, Washington 17:
The Cowboys will get their offense back, after last week's offensive barbarity against the Packers. Washington has too many fixes for Dallas to feat.

Minnesota 27, Seattle 13:
Last week, on beating the Cardinals, the Seahawks saved their NFL season.

Green Bay 20, San Francisco 13:
The 49ers' defense flew on field by bringing mayhem, but their offense caused dejection. The Packers carry the edge in offensive capability.

Indianapolis 24, Baltimore 16:
The Colts contributed like any thing in their win against the Patriots. They can't go undefeated this season but they won't get their first loss at the hands of the Ravens.

Arizona 31, St. Louis 21:
The strength of Ram’s is their running game. Unfortunately, that is the one strong point on the Cardinals' defense.

New England 23, NY Jets 20:
The Patriots lost to the Colts just because of shocking coaching decision. To prove some thing to their coach, league and to them selves as well, the New England defense is going to come out. Due to Patriot’s ferocity, the Jets will not be ready.

Denver 21, San Diego 17:
Since Week Six, Broncos have lost three straight and the Chargers have won four in a row. A known opponent and an advantage of home field is the only thing in Denver’s favor in this week.

Cincinnati 35, Oakland 9:
The Bengals have been quite dominant and if they can hold off an offensive attack from the Steelers then they will have no problem with the hapless Raiders. Coming to Oakland, they really do not have any idea what's going on with their team.

Philadelphia 27, Chicago 16:
Through out the year, Bears did not beat any powerful team though they won in Week Two. I guess Jay Cutler is the secret weapon for the Eagles.

Tennessee 31, Houston 28:
The Titans have been performing and scoring well. Texans may come out plugging after a bye week but they can also come out flat.

NFL Week 10 Power Rating Picks

It's time and here are NFL Power Rating Picks—Week 10 , each week when the engine that cranks the power rating machine turns out a play, the point-spread and home field advantage have both been accounted for.

Following are NFL Power Rating Picks for Week 10:

Side plays were a bust last week but our play on the Monday Night Football game to stay "Under" was a winner and the overall record for the season, including early week and late-plays moved to 24-19 (56 percent). This week we have six plays to consider, including four bets on the Over/Under.

1. Buffalo at Tennessee "Over" 41 : Titans started this season 0-6 SU, took a bye and then came back with a dominant home effort versus Jacksonville. A win at San Francisco has provided some momentum but with a defense ranked last in points allowed, expect both teams to put up some numbers before this game is final.

2. Philadelphia at San Diego "Over" 47 : Philly is 5-0 O/U as an underdog of plus two points or less since October 2003 and four of those overs were in road games. The two most-recent road games were both non-Conference (BAL, KC). RB Westbrook is expected to start. These teams fit into the same power rating profile as the Bills and Titans.

3. Dallas at Green Bay "Under" 48 : The Packers proved unpredictable when they fell to the Buccaneers in Week Nine, but this week, back at home, should get a better effort from the defense. The Cowboys have won three-straight ATS and with a divisional game on-deck (WSH), play-calling should be conservative—a la Wade Phillips.

4. New England, plus three : It’s not surprising that the ratings pointed towards a play on the Patriots considering how high they score on power ranking boards across the nation.Tom Brady getting points is never a bad option.

5. New England at Indianapolis "Over" 48 : Indy’s defense has allowed just one team to score more than 17 points this season (MIA, Wk Two). If there were ever a time for a second, it’s now.

This is the Colts’ third SNF game of the season and fourth prime-time game. Indianapolis is 3-0 SU/ATS through the first three night games and 1-2 O/U but the Colts offense has averaged just a hair less than 30 ppg. It’s the first of the four marquee game Indy gets to play at home.

6. Baltimore -10.5 : The Browns have ratcheted themselves down considerably this year and part of that lies in the hands of management. The rest is on the field and against a Ravens team under the gun to produce wins. It’s hard to see Cleveland keeping pace—no matter who starts at QB.

Steelers vs. Bengals NFL Betting Picks - Preview

Steelers vs. Bengals NFL Betting Picks: A win over the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this season put the Cincinnati Bengals on the national radar as legitimate playoff contenders. Another victory over the defending Super Bowl champs will put them in the driver's seat to win the AFC North for the first time in four years.

The Bengals look to sweep the regular-season series over the Steelers for the first time in more than a decade when they visit Heinz Field on Sunday.

Cincinnati has won six of seven, including a 23-20 upset of Pittsburgh on Sept. 27 on a touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to Andre Caldwell with 14 seconds remaining. The Steelers haven't lost since their visit to Cincinnati, and are tied with the Bengals for the division lead with 6-2 records.

While a Bengals win this weekend would give them a sweep of the season series for the first time since 1998, and put them in control of the North, Palmer tried to keep this matchup in perspective.

"It's a game," he said. "We're not going to look too far ahead of who's on the schedule, who's left, worry about playoff implications, worry about home-field advantage. We don't need to be thinking about any of those things. ... They're in a must-win situation. We feel we're in a must-win situation."

Pittsburgh has regrouped by winning five in a row since that loss - aided by the return of Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu, who missed the earlier matchup with the Bengals due to a knee injury. The Steelers are 4-0 this season with Polamalu, including a 28-10 win at Denver on Monday night in which he intercepted his third pass.

"To me he's one of the best players in the game, and when you add that guy you're only going to get better," Palmer said.

Palmer and the Bengals are looking to improve to 5-0 against division rivals after beating Baltimore 17-7 last Sunday. Palmer threw for 224 yards and one touchdown while Cedric Benson recorded his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season, finishing with 117 yards and a score on 21 carries.

The defense, meanwhile, gave up a season-low 215 yards total offense. More at CBS Sports

New England Patriots in the NFL

NFL Predictions - NFL Betting Tips for New England Patriots

The league has clearly been stratified this year—there are the top contenders, and then there's everyone else. We have a bevy of teams that are just plain horrible: the Titans, Browns, Bucs, Chiefs, Rams, Redskins, Raiders, and Lions are all haplessly running out the clock at this point.

Pundits everywhere are decrying the blowouts and questioning what can be done.

Why does this matter to the Patriots? Well, the team has been on the winning side of some awfully lopsided games. Since the team is part of the NFL's current ruling class, it behooves fans to know when guillotine sales go up.

Successful teams should listen very closely whenever there is talk of leveling the playing field.

What complicates matters is the current collective bargaining agreement talks between the NFL and the players' union. This means the league would be ideally positioned to launch a large, system-altering change like the salary cap and free agency.

I believe, though, that a substantial change to the way the league is set up is unlikely.

When you look at the league's changes over the years, they have always intended to right a tangible wrong: free agency took away a team's ability to control a player's career, and the salary cap prevented the sort of payroll disparity we currently see in baseball.

What, then, would be the tangible wrong in today's NFL?

The teams mentioned earlier aren't there because they lack the money to compete, or because players are unavailable. No, those teams are currently losing because they have been mismanaged over several years (with the exception of the Titans, whose downfall this year has been unexpected).

Their personnel staffs have evaluated players incorrectly. Their front offices have signed ill-advised, cap-killing deals. They've likely had a revolving door at the coaching positions, each new one seeking to implement his own system (and consequently resulting in a whole lot of mismatched pieces).

Teams like the Pats, Colts, and Steelers succeed because they evaluate talent well, properly manage their caps, and have stable coaching situations.

How, then, could the problem be fixed? The league doesn't (and shouldn't) have the power to completely reshape noncompeting teams.

The NFL has spent years protecting teams from those factors typically blamed for imbalance, but it has finally found one that cannot be solved easily: organizational incompetence.

Perhaps things are as they should be—well-run teams (like the Pats, Colts, and Steelers) are seeing their foresight rewarded. Poorly-run teams are performing miserably.

Perhaps imbalance is the natural state of things.

That won't stop people from bemoaning 59-0 games, though.

NFL Beginners Guide

The Football Field -
• The playing field is 100 yards long.
• It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals.
• There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. (not shown)
• On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards.
• The total field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide.
• Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post.
• The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line.
• The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. After reaching the 50-yard line, the yardage markers start to descend (40, 30, 20, 10) every ten yards until they reach the opposite goal line.

The Basics of a Football Team
• Each game features two teams playing against each other.
• Each team is allowed 11 men on the field at a time. Any more than 11 could result in a penalty.
• Unlimited substitution is permitted, but players may only enter the field when the ball is dead.
• Each team is comprised of an offense, defense, and special teams.
• If team A has possession of the ball, they use their offensive team to attempt to advance the ball toward the opponents endzone.
• If team B has the ball, team A will use their defensive team to attempt to stop team B from advancing the ball.
• If a kicking play is expected, both teams will use their special teams.

Understanding the Object of the Game of Football
• The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by advancing the football into their endzone for as many touchdowns as possible while holding them to as few as possible. There are other ways of scoring, but a touchdown is usually the prime objective.

The Basics of Beginning a Football Game
• Before each game, the captains from each team and the referee meet at the center of the field for the coin toss.
• The winner of the coin toss has the option of starting the game by kicking the ball to the other team or receiving the kickoff from the other team.
• The game begins when one of the teams kicks off to the other.
• The receiving team must catch the ball and try to advance it as far back toward the kicking team as possible.
• The play ends when the player with the ball is knocked to the ground (tackled), or makes it all the way to the kicking team's endzone (touchdown).
• The spot where the kick returner was tackled becomes the line of scrimmage. The line of scrimmage is a term for the place the ball is spotted before a play is run.
• Once this starting point is established, the offensive squad of the receiving team will come in and try to move the ball toward the opposition's end zone.

What is Down and Distance?
Understanding down and distance is probably the biggest key to understanding football, so make sure you really understand this part before moving on to the next section.
• Basically, a down is a play. From the time the ball is snapped (put into play), to the time the play is whistled over by the officials, is considered one down.
• A team's offense is given four downs (plays) to move ten yards toward the opponent's end zone.
• Distance is the number of yards a team needs to get a new set of four downs.
• If they make the ten yards needed within four downs, they are given a new set of downs. This is called getting a first down.
• If they don't make it the required ten yards, the other team's offense takes possession of the ball.

An Example
• The first play of a series is called first-and-ten because it is the first down and ten yards are needed to receive a new set of four downs.
• Suppose on the first play, the team on offense picks up three yards. The next play would then be second-and-seven, because it is the second play of the set and they still need seven yards to get a first down.
• If they were to pick up six yards on the second play it would leave them one yard shy of the first down marker, therefore setting up a third-and-one situation. Third-and-one because it would be the third play of the series and they would still need one yard to get a first down.
• If the team with the ball can pick up one yard or more on the third-down play, then they will be given a first down, which means they get to start all over with a new set of four downs.
• A team can continue moving the football down the field as long as they continue to pick up first downs.

Fourth-Down Strategies
If a team fails to gain the required yardage on third down, several things could happen on fourth down:
• A team can elect to "go for it" on fourth down and try to pick up the remaining yardage, but they run the risk of turning the ball over to the other team if they do not get

NFL Thursday Night Football: Chicago Bears Vs San Francisco 49ers

Stafford looks like a Rookie again

NFL Betting : Seahawks 32, Lions 20

After building early 17-0 lead, Stafford looks like a rookie again.

Sparked by big plays early from their rookies, the Lions did something they've rarely done Sunday. Then they did what everyone expected them to do, coughing up an early 17-0 lead and extending their road losing streak to 16 games with a 32-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks before a crowd of 67,003 at Qwest Field.

"I've had some of these tough losses before," said linebacker Larry Foote, a Super Bowl champion in Pittsburgh last year who now finds his new team sitting at 1-7, tied for the worst record in the NFL with four others. "They all feel the same, you know? It's terrible. ... I'm at a loss for words right now."

But while the shell-shocked Lions might've been surprised by the way this one unraveled, their opponents weren't. Or at least they didn't sound like it after Matt Hasselbeck picked apart the Lions' defense -- 39-of-51 for 329 yards -- and the Seahawks' defense intercepted Lions rookie Matthew Stafford five times.

"They weren't very good last year, and I think that played a role in having the confidence that we had," said receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who caught the go-ahead touchdown pass with 2:32 left in the third quarter. "We can't spot teams that have better records those type of leads, because I don't know if the confidence would be there, where guys know we're going to come back and win. But I felt when we were down 17-0, we were still going to win the game. That's how I honestly felt on the sideline."

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles – NFL Match Picks Week 9

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles

Divisional bragging rights will be on the line on Sunday night at 8:20 PM ET when the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles meet at Lincoln Financial Field. This matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles isn’t nearly as big as the last one. Still, it always seems meaningful when these archrivals play, and the 100th meeting is certainly no different. A few weeks after both teams seemed headed in the wrong direction, the Cowboys and Eagles have gotten back on track but only one will leave Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night alone atop the NFC East.

The Cowboys defeated Seattle 38-17 as a 10-point favorite in Week 8. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (46.5). Tony Romo passed for 256 yards with three touchdowns for Dallas and Miles Austin caught five passes for 61 yards with a touchdown in the win. The total has gone OVER in 7 of Philadelphia’s last 8 games when playing at home against Dallas.

San Diego Chargers vs New York Giants – NFL Week 9 Predictions: The fans at Giants Stadium will be treated to a game between the San Diego Chargers and the New York Giants when they take their seats on Sunday at 4:15 PM ET. Eli Manning and Philip Rivers will forever be linked by the draft-day trade in 2004 that brought Manning to the New York Giants and Rivers to the San Diego Chargers.

New York Giants VS San Diego Chargers Picks

This season, they may end up being linked for leading a pair of contenders that underachieved. The quarterbacks meet for the first time Sunday at Giants Stadium, with Manning looking to help New York avoid a fourth straight loss and Rivers trying to lead the Chargers to their first victory over a winning team. Norm is a loser so my NFL week 9 predictions say give the points and take the Giants at home.

New York Giants VS San Diego Chargers Odds

The Chargers defeated Oakland 24-16 as a 16-point favorite in Week 8. The combined score fell UNDER the posted over/under total (41). LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 56 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries for San Diego, while Philip Rivers passed for 249 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The total has gone OVER in 5 of San Diego’s last 6 games on the road.

Tennessee Titans Vs San Francisco 49ers NFL Match Odds Week 9

Tennessee Titans vs. San Francisco 49ers odds

Almost 85 percent of the spread action was on San Francisco though around 90 percent of the money line action was flowing the Titans way.

Despite Frank Gore ripping off a 66-yard first-quarter score and the 49ers being ahead through most of three quarters, last week’s play calling was still extremely conservative. Coach Mike Singletary indicated he may open things up for QB Alex Smith this week and there is no better time to do so than against Tennessee’s league-worst pass defense.

While it wasn’t a spectacular performance, Vince Young was efficient and controlled in his first start last week. The Niners boast a better defense than the Jaguars, but Young’s mission remains the same: Avoid mistakes, make some timely throws and keep plays alive using his scrambling ability.

Tennessee Titans vs. San Francisco 49ers Picks

Some other important things to consider before betting on this game:

The Titans ran for 305 yards, with an average of 6.2 yards per carry, against Jacksonville in Week 8 but the 49ers are holding opponents to just 85 yards a game on the ground (second best in the league) and that does not bode well for Tennessee.

Detroit Lions vs Seattle Seahawks NFL Match Predictions Week 9 NFL Match

Detroit Lions vs Seattle Seahawks NFL Week 9 Predictions:

The Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks will both be gunning for a victory on Sunday at 4:05 PM ET when they meet at Qwest Field. Lions LB Julian Peterson played with the Seahawks last year and joked that “at least (his current team) doesn’t have to worry about going 0-16 again.”

Both teams (3-10 combined) have talent but aren’t consistent right now. Our NFL week 9 predictions say take the points, both teams are marginal at best and the Lions are a more improved team with Stafford at quarterback.

Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Betting

In addition to having to deal with their head case running back Larry Johnson, the Kansas City Chiefs (1-6 SU, 2-5 ATS, 3-2-2 O/U) have a plethora of on-field problems in head coach Todd Haley’s first season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-4 SU, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/U) have also taken quite a few steps backwards under longtime head coach Jack Del Rio in the last couple of seasons.

Now, both struggling teams will be trying to pick up a much-needed win when they take to the gridiron at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on Sunday at 1 PM ET.

The Jaguars allowed the Tennessee Titans to win their first game of the season in Week 8 just as As per my Prediction, falling 30-13 and failing to cover the NFL point spread as a 3-point road underdog while the game’s 43 combined points played Under the 44-point O/U total.

NFL Betting Odds

Jacksonville -6½ -110
Over/Under 42 -110

Analysis: I’m not real impressed with the Jacksonville Jaguars this season – and they’ve recorded some atrocious ATS wagering stats coming into this matchup but I do like them to handle the lowly Chiefs in this game, particularly playing at home.

The Jags have alternated wins and losses in each of the last four weeks, making them due for a victory this week following their bad loss to Tennessee last week.

While Jacksonville has gone just 1-4 ATS against a team with a losing record and a shocking 0-7 ATS in their last seven games as a home favorite, the Chiefs have been even worse when it comes to cashing in for pro football betting enthusiasts recently.

The Chiefs have gone 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following an SU loss and just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall.

Kansas City Chief has also gone a pitiful 0-5 ATS in their last five games against AFC opponents and are averaging just 15.0 points per game this season, not to mention the fact that they’ve been man-handled by the Jaguars on a pretty regular basis the last few seasons, going a discouraging 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings against Jacksonville.

With both teams averaging less than 20 points per contest this season and the Under going 5- 2 in the last seven meetings, I like the Under to cash in as well in this contest.

Washington Redskins Vs Atlanta Falcons Live Streaming

Washington Redskins takes on Atlanta Falcons

Washington Redskins with total points of 13.7 they are 29th position of the total league. For now Washington Redskins team is free from injuries. No player is reported injury. This might be the only positive for them. With all loses team has no confidence at all to go forward in the NFL.

Atlanta Falcons are looking stronger than Washington Redskins as they are at leagues 13th position with a total of 24. 4 points. But the worry point for them is injuries. 4 important players are reported injury. Kroy Biermann (DE), Thomas Johnson (DT), Jerious Norwood (RB) Jason Snelling (RB). Having one victory on Chicago Bears and two loses with Dallas cowboys, New Orleans.

My Pick is Atlanta Falcons who is a head in the stats & injuries. The team is having good backup players to cover the injuries.

The week 9 NFL power rankings are set and we are assuming that the undefeated Saints are going to be able to get past the Falcons in the Monday night game. If the Falcons manage to pull off the upset then we’ll adjust our week 9 NFL power rankings but it doesn’t appear they have much of a shot against the Saints with New Orleans currently favored by 12 points on the spread at BetRepublic.
