Bills Betting

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Again we have a match up of teams that played very similar games last week. However, the difference is that one of these teams won a close fought boring game, and the other lost. The Giants win on Monday night eliminates Atlanta from the playoffs this year while Buffalo was eliminated when they signed Terrell Owens in the offseason.

Buffalo played pretty well last Thursday against the Jets but didn’t have enough talent to win that game while the Chiefs didn’t bother to show up against Denver . This game is a coin flip, but that is why God created teasers, so you have a way to bet on a difficult game

The Bills offense exploded in the 4th quarter last week to beat Miami and showed that they are going to play hard the rest of the year. The Jets won an ugly 17-6 game last week against Carolina in which we said take the under. This is going to be a better game then people think

The Bills played pretty good last week under their new coach in almost winning in Jacksonville. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a very smart and efficient quarterback. The Dolphins played very well in beating a good Carolina team on the road last week. The Dolphins play hard every week and that is what you look for in team

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

We had another great week last week going 11-2 with our picks plus we hit our ten point teaser. We will try to keep up the good work this week, and will start with our weekly teaser bet. Jacksonville covered last week at the Jets and are now at 5-4

The Titans have been playing better after their bye week winning 2 straight against good teams after their ridiculous 0-6 start. They are a better team than that. Buffalo is coming off a bye after getting killed by Houston 2 weeks ago. We truly feel that the Titans have righted the ship

We love Houston and last week we said Houston-3 was too close to call and they won by 3.We missed on the total by a half point. The Bills have been playing well as of late, beating the Jets and Panthers on the road 2 weeks in a row. The line of Houston-3 is right on the money again

At the time of writing this column, there was no line on this game due to the injury to Bill quarterback Trent Edwards. Ryan Fitzpatrick is more than capable as his backup. Carolina is playing better, they have won two straight after losing their first 3.

We mentioned last week, that we feel Terrell Owens has already destroyed the Bills locker room. The Jets could have won that game at Miami last week, but on the other hand the only play they had was Sanchez throwing the ball as far as he can, and hoping that Edwards catches it or they call pass interference.

We knew last week that there was no reason to take Cleveland +5.5 so we did. We said it was a little risky at 5.5 and wait for line to get to 7, and then jump all over Cleveland. The line got to 6.5 then we bet the Browns both before the game and at halftime.

One of these teams is in deep trouble, the other one might be able to right the ship. I think you can figure out which is which. The Bills are 1-2 but have played well every week, and lost to 2 good teams. The Dolphins had a rough schedule (at Atlanta, Indy, at San Diego) to start the year.

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

We knew Drew Brees and the Saints would be a team to reckon with this year, but they are scoring touchdowns like the Patriots of 2007. The Bills needed to beat the Bucs last week and they did. Buffalo has the secondary to slow down the Saints passing game.

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

We are going to end our pick section this week with a juicy 13 point teaser. Tampa Bay hung in for 2.5 quarters vs. Dallas last week till the better team finally took over.

Our first Monday night game is a good one. Brady is back and so are the Patriots. Brady obviously won’t put up record breaking numbers this year, but who cares, he’s still going to light it up, and New England will be fine.

Despite a 7-9 record last year (7-9 AGAINST THE SPREAD), the Buffalo Bills actually have reason to be optimistic heading into the 2009 season

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
