2009 NFL Football Week 6 Betting Tips

Jeffdstuff — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:46:04 +0000

The NFL is about to spin your betting tendencies like crazy this weekend.

Why? Well, in case you didn’t know, the sixth week of the NFL calendar means the trading deadline is coming and since we are heading to Week 6 of the 2009 NFL football season, expect some struggling teams to make a move or two, each hoping that the moves they make this week will be the difference between winning and losing.

One team in the middle of all these trade rumors? The Buffalo Bills. After five weeks into the season, the Terrell Owens experiment hasn’t been paying off. The Cowboys’ leading receiver last season hasn’t done shit for the Bills this year. After five games, he only has 12 receptions, 202 yards, and one measly touchdown.

As a result, the Buffalo Bills have not fared well this season. They are currently dead last in the AFC East with a disappointing 1-4 record. Good thing the division is still a wide open free for all with Tom Brady and the Patriots still looking for their groove. Unfortunately for them, they have the division leaders this Sunday, the New York Jets.

After the New York Jets lost last Monday night’s divisional game with the Miami Dolphins, those guys probably can’t wait to pound somebody to a pulp all week. The Jets lost on Monday Night Football when the Dolphins beat ‘em using their trademark Wildcat offense on a direct snap to running back Ronnie Brown, giving the Dolphins the go-ahead touchdown with six seconds left en route to the 31-27 win.

And knowing Jets head coach Rex Ryan who makes a living on defense, you can bet your ass that he didn’t like the way Miami’s Wildcat kept on working against them. ”I used to see all those gimmicks when I was coaching back in college,” Ryan said after the game. ”I’ve been a part of some bad performances before on defense, just not this bad.”

Expect the New York Jets to bounce back and...

Terrell Owens to play for Buffalo Bills

Jeffdstuff — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 03:01:13 +0000

The city of Buffalo found a way to make people talk about their team.

In case you didn’t know, Terrell Owens will be playing for the Buffalo Bills once the 2009 NFL football season gets here. It was only a matter of time before the Cowboys released Owens after he just kept on going at it with Cowboys team leaders, Tony Romo and Jason Witten, Buffalo gives T.O. a new start and for now, he’s quite happy about it.

‘’I'm leaving America’s team (for) North America’s team,'’ Terrell Owens said at a news conference. ‘’This may not be the most ideal place for a lot of people, but I’m the guy. I beat to my own beat sometimes, my own thinking, my own intuition.'’

Contrary to what he said, the Dallas Cowboys left him, not the other way around. And I’m not surprised to hear T.O. say ‘’me'’ again only days after signing with the team.

While his prior stints in Dallas, Philadelphia and San Francisco all ended badly, Owens is a major upgrade for a Buffalo Bills team seeking more offensive firepower, statistically speaking. Buffalo was already rebuffed earlier this offseason in attempts to sign wide receiver Laveranues Coles and running backs Fred Taylor and Kevin Jones. With the singing of T.O., the Bills will now have two deep threats with Lee Evans coming off one of his best seasons in his career. The question is, can the Bills co-exist with Owens in Buffalo.

Owens is among the NFL’s career leaders in catches, yards and touchdowns. Despite that. the Cowboys became the third team to get rid of him because of his divisiveness. He left after eight seasons with the 49ers and two with the Eagles.

Despite that, there were still teams willing to sign him after he was released by Dallas, the Raiders and the Redskins, among other teams, were initially interested in him. In the end, the controversial wideout...

2008 NFL Week 16 Betting Tips

Jeffdstuff — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:27:54 +0000

It’s crunch time in the NFL with only two weeks remaining in the season.

Yes, it’s already Week 16 of the 2008-09 NFL football season and nothing, absolutely NOTHING has been decided as far as the final playoff picture is concerned. And after 15 weeks into the season, we learned that Matt Cassel can put up points, Terrell Owens is letting Romo and Witten have their thing together (for now…) and the Lions STILL can’t win shit. (Surprise… surprise…)

Heading to NFL Week 16, we’ll have the last Thursday and Monday night games of the season and since we’re giving you a heads up for the coming football action, we’ll start on Thursday night when the Indianapolis Colts visit the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts want to extend their six-year streak of making it to the playoffs. That’s exactly what they can do with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, who will try to partially salvage their season of failed expectations by at least delaying the Colts’ seventh straight entry into the postseason. However, the 10-4 Colts won seven in a row to put themselves at the top of the AFC wild-card standings. That’s why you should stay away from Jacksonville for this one.

Indianapolis Colts by 7

For the first time this season, we’ll have NFL football action on a Saturday when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas. This is historic for the ‘Boys since they’ll be playing their last game at the stadium. Of course, they’re looking to win their last one too. The Ravens currently share the same 9-5 record with three teams; the Jets, the Dolphins and the Patriots, and if they win their last two games, they would finish 11-5, including 8-4 in the AFC, to give themselves a better playoff position heading to the postseason. However, since...

2008 NFL Week 14 Betting Tips

Jeffdstuff — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:29:51 +0000

It's time for another weekend of football, and just like any other weekend, this Sunday's schedule promises to be a good one.

Week 14 of the 2008-09 NFL football season begins slowly on a Thursday night when the league features two teams struggling at this point of the year. The Chargers, losers of their last three games, will play hosts to the Raiders, losers of the last three years, when the NFL kicks-off the brand new week exclusively for people who subscribed to the NFL Network.

The San Diego Chargers haven’t had a losing season in five years. It’s been just as long since their last loss to the Oakland Raiders. The Chargers, possibly the most disappointing team of the season, want to make sure neither of those streaks end Thursday night, as they host the Raiders, looking to avoid putting their slim playoff hopes at risk this weekend.

That’s why the San Diego Chargers can’t afford to lose to the Raiders on Thursday. We’re picking them by seven.

With a one-game lead in the NFC North, the Minnesota Vikings need every victory they can get to remain atop the division. Having a pair of Pro Bowl defensive linemen on the field certainly can’t hurt their cause. After a Minnesota judge issued a temporary restraining order this week blocking their league suspensions, Kevin and Pat Williams will likely be available for the Vikings this Sunday against the winless Detroit Lions. The Vikings have won 12 of their past 13 meetings with the Lions overall and if you’re betting on this game, avoid the 0-12 Lions at all cost.

Minnesota Vikings by 14.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is probably getting blamed more than he deserves for the Cheeseheads’ problems lately. Matt Schaub, meanwhile, can’t take any credit for two straight surprising wins for the Houston Texans. Both of these guys will...

Dallas to correct mistake vs Redskins?

Jeffdstuff — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:40:53 +0000

It all started against the Redskins. At least that's what Cowboys wideout Terrell Owens claims.

After all the hype that has surrounded the Cowboys before the start of the 2008-09 NFL football season, America’s team has lost two of their last three games and are sitting at the very bottom of the NFC East.

That probably has something to do with the absence of franchise quarterback Tony Romo, who sat out the team’s last three games with a broken pinkie. Veteran Brad Johnson tried to fill in but only managed to give the Cowboys a single win in the three games that he started behind center.

Was Romo’s injury the reason why the Dallas Cowboys have been losing lately? From a casual fan’s standpoint, that’s probably stating the obvious. But as far as T.O. is concerned, the Cowboys’ troubles didn’t start with a broken pinkie on a hotshot quarterback.

And while Terrell Owens probably still continues to complain about the limited touches he’s been having on the field, the controversial wideout said that their team’s troubles didn’t start with Romo’s injury but as early as the first month of the season, when the Washington Redskins handed them their very first loss. They went on to lose three of their next four games afterwards.

‘’I think the loss to Washington made a lot of people raise a lot of eyebrows,'’ Terrell Owens said. ‘’I think those two games alone kind of let everybody in this locker room know you got to have sort of a self check like, ‘OK, we’re probably not as good as we think we are, or probably not as good as hyped.”’

Owens probably has a point. Although it is already well documented that the Cowboys are 1-3 without Tony Romo, they have gone 1-2 WITH him after losing to their NFC East rivals from Washington. Did the Redskins do something to this Cowboys team that all of a sudden...

2008 NFL Week 4 Sports Betting Tips

Jeffdstuff — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 02:19:01 +0000

The first month of NFL football will conclude this Sunday and we have some great tips for you as always.

You read it, the 2008-09 NFL football season will be a month old. And after three weeks into the season, we found out that the Bills are for real, the Texans are still bad and Ronnie Brown can singlehandedly beat the living daylights out of the Patriots.

So what’s in store for us football fans when the NFL season resumes this Sunday? Let’s start with the game between the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Jets because you just know Brett Favre will be itching to get back to the win column after losing his second straight game last Monday night.

Sure, Favre’s availability against the Arizona Cardinals is still unclear after he rolled on his ankle during the third quarter of the Jets’ 48-29 loss to San Diego last Monday but since the guy holds the NFL record of starting in 256 straight regular season games, I have a feeling he’ll still show up and play. After all, he asked for all of this when he decided to unretire right?

If Favre plays, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to pick the New York Jets over the Cardinals by a touchdown.

Favre’s former mates will be in action as well when the Green Bay Packers visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what should be another tough NFC match-up for the cheeseheads. After suffering a big loss to the Cowboys last Sunday night, traveling to Tampa to play the Bucs just might be too unforgiving for the young Aaron Rodgers. Besides, the Buccaneers have one of the better defenses in the league and I don’t think Green Bay’s A-Rod can come up with magic over Jon Gruden’s D.

Pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win by...

Cowboys, Super Bowl XLIII favorites

Jeffdstuff — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 02:15:53 +0000

With the Patriots losing their star QB, the Cowboys have inherited the title ''heavy favorites.''

After Bernard Pollard let loose a vicious hit on Tom Brady’s knee that ultimately put the Patriots quarterback out for the rest of the 2008-09 NFL football season, Pollard may have taken the Patriots out of this year's title chase.

Now that Tom Brady is out, the Patriots’ chances of making a return to the Super Bowl this season just went from a probability to an impossibility and I won’t be surprised if the focus shifts to Texas where the Dallas Cowboys are looking to finally return to the big dance since the days of Troy Aikman.

Yes, with the season-ending injury to Tom Brady, the Dallas Cowboys have replaced the New England Patriots as the heavy favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida.

After all, like the New England Patriots, the Cowboys also have a solid passing game with Tony Romo and Terrell Owens leading the way. And since Romo spends more time trying to avoid the paparazzi more than he avoids defensive ends during gamedays, you just know America will be rooting for this team.

Hey, the Dallas Cowboys are still dubbed as America’s team anyway.

Against the Cleveland Browns, the Cowboys showed us why they should be the heavy favorites to win it all. Tony Romo passed for 320 yards with Terrell Owens grabbing one of his passes for a touchdown to lead the Cowboys offense to a convincing 28-10 win over the Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium, one of the toughest places to win a football game this year.

And while many people like the Cleveland Browns to...

2008-09 NFL Week 1 Betting Tips

Jeffdstuff — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:42:49 +0000

The Giants win the first game of the season!

How about that huh? KNown to be slow starters, the Giants won with Eli Manning scoring the first touchdown of the 2008-09 NFL football season. It doesn't get any better than that.

The question now is, can they return to the big dance and win Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa?

With the New York Giants covering the spread by five points and Eli Manning starting their campaign strong, they're certainly on the right track.

Week 1 continues on Sunday with 13 games. Let’s start with the St. Louis Rams visiting the Philadelphia Eagles. After a tumultuous season, the Rams come in the brand new season with a new sense of hope. They just signed Steven Jackson to a new contract and with new offensive coordinator Al Saunders taking over, they’re hoping to bring back the offense once dubbed as the greatest show on turf.

However, the Philadelphia Eagles have Donovan McNabb healthy again and I don’t see these Rams beating the Eagles in Philly. Our pick? The Eagles by ten.

The Cincinnati Bengals, led by a focused Chad Johnson, will visit the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals still have one of the high-scoring offensive schemes in the league but with Rudi Johnson now gone, I’m expecting this offense to slow down a little bit.

Our pick? The Baltimore Ravens cover the spread by a touchdown.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New Orleans Saints next...

Louisiana State Tigers Beats Ohio State Buckeyes 38-24 To Win 2008 BCS Championship

Jeffdstuff — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 06:13:03 +0000

Ohio State Buckeyes at Louisiana State Tigers - 3.5 The No. 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes looked to be in top form early in the first quarter when Ohio State's Chris Wells rushed for a 65-yard touchdown plus a field goal to lead 10-0 against the No.2 ranked LSU Tigers. However, LSU Tigers QB Matt Flynn got his groove on and led the LSU offense to score the next 31 points with Flynn passing TDs to Richard Dickson, Brandon LaFell and Early Doucet.
