NFL Dolphins

Miami is winless and without its starting quarterback heading into Monday night’s contest with the New York Jets. The Dolphins are coming off a bye week

Miami has dropped all three of its games this year and will be leaning heavily on the team’s 3-1 road record against AFC West division teams to turn things around. “It’s good to be with the guys and just us out there,” commented offensive tackle Jake Long

Miami is searching for its first victory of the season after dropping back-to-back home contests to the New England Patriots (38-24) and Houston Texans (23-13). The Dolphins also failed to cover the spread in both instances.

Lines for Week 3 in the NFL

Houston came away with an uneventful 34-7 home win over the Indianapolis Colts as nine-point favorites, as the team didn’t have to defend quarterback Peyton Manning, who is still recovering from offseason neck surgery

NFL Lines for week 2

The New England Patriots begin their run as this year’s 11/2 favorite to win the Super Bowl this upcoming Monday night against the AFC East rival Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium. Game time

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

Dallas has begun the Jason Garrett-Tony Romo era with two wins during the preseason, but have tallied a 1-2 ATS mark in the process. Interestingly enough, all three of the Cowboys preseason games before this one started with a spread within a field goal.

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

Carolina failed to score an offensive touchdown during four preseason games a year ago, but managed to find the end zone twice in a 20-10 home in over the New York Giants in head coach Ron Rivera’s debut. Jimmy Clausen got the

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

The Lions finally got a road win last week, while Miami found another way to lose at home. The Lions are finally headed in the right direction after years

Miami sure made the Jets look bad as we said they would last week. Miami has played very good football at times this year but has had bad luck. The same can be said for Buffalo. This is going to be a very

After a mediocre week our record still stands at 54-39 -3 for the year. We picked both of these teams in mild upsets last week, and we were right both times. The Dolphins

Tennesee is the real deal. Miami is very good too, they just can’t find a way to win like the Bengals. This is the time of year that we find out which teams are starting to give up

Miami is very well coached and is in every game every week that is why the line is only 5 points. Maybe people are starting to find out

Miami has been playing great football and not winning while Cincinnati has been playing lousy football and not winning. We have no idea who is going to win this game. If the real Bengal team shows

Our record stands at 34-23-2 now, just a few more weeks till November and December where we really shine. Pittsburgh looks like a serious contender in the AFC

There was no line at the time of this posting due to the fact that half of the Packer team is hurt. Based on just talent alone, Green Bay could be one of the best

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

It’s not time to give up on Miami. Had they have beaten the Jets ,they would be favored in this game, but now nobody is going to bet

This is going to be a great game as both teams have really good defenses. As a matter of fact, I just picked up the Miami defense for my fantasy team, in case

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

Minnesota actually played better than we expected last week in the big opener at New Orleans. Miami found a way to win an ugly one in Buffalo

Whenever you play a teaser there is always one game that you worry about more than the others. This is it. Miami is obviously a better team than Buffalo

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

We are going to use the same philosophy with game 2 of our teaser that we used with game one. Both of these teams come into this game at 7-7 and must have a win here. Again the line is about right, as the home team should win this game by around a field goal, but it’s too close to call

We told you to take Miami over New England last week and we hope you did. Jacksonville won a big game against Houston and is in the play-off picture. Actually both of these teams want to make the play-offs and this game may decide which team goes or stays home after the season

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

Miami won but didn’t cover last week versus Tampa Bay while Carolina won as a 2 point dog at home against Atlanta. Our football sense said take Atlanta, but we knew better as our gambling sense said take the home dog

Just 2 weeks ago these 2 teams played a very good game on Monday Night Football, in which Miami won the game at the very end. The Jets finally got back on track last week beating Oakland 38-0. Miami was beating New Orleans 24-3 then fell apart and didn’t even cover

Both of these teams are coming of big wins. The Saints come in at 5-0 and look like the best team in football after beating the Giants 48-27. The Dolphins have won 2 straight and have shown that they are not going to quit on the season yet.

The Dolphins showed last week that they still want to have a good season, despite their 0-3 start. The Jets +6.5 disappointed us last week versus New Orleans.

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.

It’s kind of appropriate that these 2 teams meet to open the season. They both were 2 of the biggest surprises last year. One of these teams however will be in the mix this year, the other will not.

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.
