Jets Betting

Maybe it’s time give the Jets a little credit and start to take them seriously or maybe not. This team is made up of a bunch of no name players, with a rookie quarterback, rookie coach, and one great corner back. It just goes to show you how important coaching is in football.

Are you kidding me? How the hell did the Jets go into Cincinnati and win that game last week. We know Palmer was hurt but they had Cedric Benson back, and were at home. We always like a juicy upset but not when we had so much riding

No more messing around here. No more worrying about what team is resting their players and who will be eliminated with a loss and all of all that other nonsense. It's time for real football, the NFL playoffs and the pursuit of being a world champion. Traditionally the dogs do very well on wild card weekend, and then the favorites win big a week later.

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

Both of these teams played games last week that will define their regular season. The Colts showed that they will be the Super bowl favorite come January, and the Jets blew one that might cost them the playoffs

Mark Sanchez is a little banged up for the Jets here so at the time of writing this column there was no betting line on the game. No matter, we couldn’t care less who wins this game. The Jets still feel like they can make the playoffs, yea right, and I still have a chance to marry Scarlett Johansen

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

Both of these teams are on the down side. Carolina lost at home last week to Miami, and the Jets got pelted by New England. One of these teams will get a win this week but we are not sure of which one that will be. What we are certain about is that both of this offenses have struggled

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

OK, everybody has a opinion on whether or not Bill Bellichek did the correct move by going for it on 4th down deep in his own territory, late in the game, at the Colts last week. In retrospect it looked like a crazy decision. We were watching the game with a big Patriots fan

Jacksonville has quietly posted a 4-4 record this year,and could be the best team that nobody is noticing. They have plenty of talent on this team but have consistently underachieved for a few years now. The Jets come off badly needed bye week in which they could try to fix what is wrong

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

We weren’t shocked by either result last week. Although the Raiders have been playing terrible this year, the Eagles should not have been a 14-point favorite. The Jets came off a tough loss at Miami, and weren’t prepared to play

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.

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.

These 2 teams are playing some of the best football in the NFL right now. We knew the Saints were one of the best teams in the league before the season, but the Jets have surprised us. We hate rookie coaches and rookie quarterbacks, but we always liked Mark Sanchez

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 went 7-2 on our side picks last week, on upset Sunday in the N.F.L, as we said traditionally week 2 is ripe for a good juicy underdog. We will start our pick section with another minor upset here. In our eyes it’s not really an upset at all, but various sports books have the Jets as a favorite

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.

These 2 teams played very surprising games last weeks for different reasons. The Jets shocked the Texans on the road 24-7, and the Patriots nearly lost to the Bills on Monday night.

The New York Jets are +5 underdog at Houston. This is one of the four games we are going to include in a 13 point teaser bet.

After compiling a 58-44 record from 2001 to 2006, the St. Louis Rams have fallen apart in the last two seasons, finishing 3-13 in 2007 and 2-14 (6-10 AGAINST THE SPREAD) in 2008.

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.
