Chiefs Picks

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

The Bengals still haven’t clinched the division yet and they are starting to feel the Ravens breathing down their necks. Make no mistake about it, either they win this game this week and clinch, or they were a fraud all along. They were not a fraud and

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

This is the time of the year that certain teams make a playoff push (San Diego) while others play hard in order to save their jobs(K.C.). Kansas City not only covered last week they beat the Steelers outright in overtime

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,

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

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

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

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

Pittsburgh is in deep trouble right now after dropping their second game this year against Cincinnati. It looks like they are going to wind up as a wild card, unless the Bengals start to self destruct. The Steelers are not going to further hurt their playoff chances

What the hell is going on in Oakland lately.Even for a team with a history of excentric players this is extreme. The whole Tom Cable saga, Jamarcus Russel,Al Davis and the rest of this dysfunctional family is the worst run team in the NFL.

We knew that Tennessee might wake up last week vs. Jacksonville, but the Jaguars showed no heart in that game. At least we barley hit our under bet. This is the last week we are staying on the Jaguars bandwagon

We mentioned last week that Kansas City isn’t that bad, and then they upset the Redskins.San Diego is doing the same thing that they do every year, they play .500 ball all season then when they are all but eliminated they start to win games.

Kansas City is not as bad as many people think. They almost beat Dallas last week, and didn't give up vs. the Giants the week before. Washington has been playing awful.

We hit on our 3-team ten-point teaser last week when the Giants +1.5 and Texans +1 both won easily and the Jags +13 blew out the Titans. This week we are going to come back with a 4-team 13-point teaser.

The Giants showed last week that are taking this season very seriously. They had no let down last week vs. Tampa Bay, and played a near perfect game in dominating the Buccaneers from start to finish winning 24-0. This week will be much of the same

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

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.

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

We are not touching this game with a ten foot pole. First of all, you have no idea who is playing quarterback for the Eagles. Donavan McNabb is still questionable with bruised ribs. So they brought in Jeff Garcia for backup.

Oakland showed that they are going to be competitive by giving San Diego all they can handle on Monday night last week. Jamarcus Russell still makes too many mistakes, but their defense and running game will keep them in most games this year.

It’s a real shame that Matt Cassell got hurt in the preseason. He is a really good quarterback that was certainly going to help the Kansas City Chiefs. What people don’t realize though is that their backups are pretty good as well.

Before last season actually started, the Texans were being billed as a team that was poised to make its first playoff appearance ever.

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.
