Lines for Week 3 in the NFL

Kansas City was humiliated in the opening week by dropping a 41-7 contest to the Buffalo Bills as 3.5-point home favorites. The Chiefs were a 2010 playoff team and nobody at Arrowhead Stadium was

NFL Lines for week 2

Buffalo finished the 2011 preseason with a 1-3 SU and ATS record, capturing a 35-32 come-from-behind home victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars as its only victory in Week 3. Great news for Bills’ backers is the team has covered four straight games in this series, including a 13-10 road loss as seven-point underdogs last year.

Florida Atlantic travels to The Swamp in Gainesville and will begin the final season under head coach Howard Schnellenberger, who began the program 13 years ago, taking it from obscurity into the major college football ranks

LSU is a dominating 20-4 all-time against current members of the Pac-12 Conference, which includes a 3-0 mark under Miles. Playing inside of a dome will likely factor little in the Tigers ability to come out with a victory, entering with a 22-7 all-time mark when indoors. LSU has won

Kansas City’s against-the-spread futility continues after a 14-10 home loss to the St. Louis Rams last week as one-point underdogs. The Chiefs have now failed to cover the number in

St. Louis comes in with a perfect 2-0 SU record (1-1 ATS) and bettors have taken notice in moving the line 4.5 points already. The Rams opened up as 2-point underdogs and now are solid road favorites

Bettors are enjoying a unique opportunity to start playing around with the NFL Week 1 lines this year, even with many roster spots in doubt due to free agency starting this week. Professional bettors will continue moving these numbers around until the season kicks off with a premiere matchup

Kansas City was absolutely lifeless in a 25-0 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, but it didn’t seem to bother head coach Todd Haley, who has failed to cover the spread in eight career preseason games. “You have to, as a head coach, look at the big picture all the time

The ongoing negotiations between the NFL owners and the Players Association to arrive at a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) continue to point towards a resolution that could potentially end a four-month owner imposed lockout of the players and reopen the league for business as early as the end of this week

The 2011 Pro Bowl returns to Hawaii after being held in Miami, Florida last year. The annual contest of the AFC's and NFC's best will take place Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011, at 7 p.m. ET. This is only the second time in history that the Pro Bowl will be held the week

It’s really too bad that Baltimore has to go the Wild card route to get to the Super bowl this year. That late collapse against the Steelers cost them in that Sunday

Kansas City proved last week that they are serious about making the playoffs by going into St. Louis and winning. Tennessee is just trying to find some answers

O.K. Raise your hand if you had these 2 teams in first place before the season. If your hand is raised, in the famous words of Richard Pryor “You’re a lying M

Both of these teams have been playing very well. Seattle played tough at New Orleans and the Chiefs dominated Arizona. In general the rule is take the home team

Both of these teams had a rough time last week, but this is the year of parody in the NFL, so both still have a shot at a division crown. Arizona has to make a decision on

Kansas City lost a tough one last week at Oakland. Denver had the week off to try to figure out what is going wrong this season. Denver really isn’t

Break out the Raiders. O.K. be honest, how many of you guys thought that both Oakland and the Chiefs would be fighting for a division

I will never bet Jacksonville again as long as Garrard is the quarterback. When he under threw that guy and it got intercepted, I jumped off the bandwagon. Ever since he signed that big contract

Kansas City fought valiantly at the Colts last week, but came up a little short. Houston got killed by the Giants at home

The Chiefs scare me; they are finding different ways to win games and are undefeated. The Colts are finding different ways to

Another great week. We went 7-3 and hit on our big teaser bet. That makes it year to date, 27-14-1 and 3-1 on Teaser betting. We will start the week

We nailed it with The Niners +4.5 on Monday Night Football versus New Orleans. They tried so hard to lose the game by making mistake after mistake

After a surprising Week 3 performance in which Wisconsin barely squeaked out a 20-19 win over Arizona State and needed a blocked extra point to do it, the Badgers get

We thought the Chiefs had a chance to win that game last week, but we didn’t think that they would dominate like that, especially in the first half. They have maybe the best special teams in the league

Many people are high on the Chiefs this year, we feel they are a year or 2 away. They have been loading up on good players, because they have drafted so high for years. San Diego has no more excuses.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.
