2008 NFL Week 16 Betting Tips
Thursday, December 18th, 2008
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.

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
Friday, December 5th, 2008
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…
2008 NFL Week 11 Betting Tips
Friday, November 14th, 2008
It’s Week 11 in the NFL and in case you haven’t felt it yet, the playoffs are just around the corner.
Week 11 of the 2008-09 NFL football season stared this Thursday night as teams continue to jockey for position with the playoffs only less than two months away. And after ten weeks into the season, we learned that the Titans continue to surprise themselves, the Bills continue to disappoint their fans, the Giants like to toy with their prey and an old fart like Kurt Warner could be the MVP at the end of the year.
Crazy huh? Guess what, it only gets crazier because Week 11 stared with the 
New England Patriots. What has been crazy about this team is the fact that they have been able to stay on top of their division playing without starting quarterback Tom Brady and starting running back Laurence Maroney. They played Brett Favre and the surging New York Jets last Thursday night and since the Jets are tied with the Pats for the AFC East lead, it sure was nice to relive this Eric Mangini – Bill Belichick rivalry.
The 5-4 Miami Dolphins look for their fourth win in a row when they face the struggling 2-7 Oakland Raiders this Sunday. The Dolphins are ranked 31st in defensive punt-return average, last in opponent’s field position on kickoffs and last in net punting average but somehow still managed to put up a solid win-loss mark above .500. We don’t expect the struggling Raiders to be able to take advantage of Miami’s problems on special teams because while the Dolphins don’t have that strong of a group on special teams, the Raiders have literally not been a team this season yet.

The winless Detroit Lions, just like last week, the week before that, and…
2008 NFL Season Week 10 Betting Tips
Friday, November 7th, 2008
Time to cash in on some games in the NFL.
Week 10 of the 2008-09 NFL football season started early this week because starting this week, football comes early every Thursday night until the second to the last week of the season.
And in case you missed the first paragraph, YES, Week 10 started on a Thursday night with the Denver Broncos visiting the Cleveland Browns. These two teams have been struggling lately and matching them up together last Thursday was just what both of these two teams needed.
Next, the St. Louis Rams will try to regain some momentum after giving their new coach a couple of wins only to lose the next two games when they face the New York Jets. Having won two of three games under coach Jim Haslett, another victory would have given the St. Louis Rams a 3-5 record last Sunday at the season’s halfway point and moved them to within one game of the Arizona Cardinals. Instead, they have fallen three games behind Arizona after the Cardinals handed them a 34-13 loss back in Week 9. They have the Jets this Sunday, a team that won two straight to put them in the middle of a three-way tie for first in the AFC East. And in case you didn’t get that, yes, this is a bad time for a struggling Rams team to face the high-flying Jets.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have their worst record in franchise history after eight games at 3-5. Fortunately for these guys, they will play the STILL winless Detroit Lions this Sunday and there’s no way in hell the Jags will drop this one. The Jaguars are the first team in NFL history to play back-to-back games against teams with 0-8 records, but after losing to the once winless Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, giving the winless Lions their first win of the season shouldn’t be included in their…
2008 NFL Week 4 Sports Betting Tips
Friday, September 26th, 2008
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…
