Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins
Game Date/Time: Monday, November 15, 8:35 ET
Game Location: FedEx Field, Washington, DC
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One
NFL Football Odds: Philadelphia Eagles (-3) -125 vs. Washington Redskins (+3) +105: Over/Under 43

Philadelphia (5-3) picked up a big home win last week against the Indianapolis Colts but a late Colts touchdown following a ‘phantom’ call against Peyton Manning left many football betting backers of the Eagles disappointed and disgusted. Washington should be ready for their division rival, as the Redskins are rested off their bye week, and quarterback Donovan McNabb gets a second shot at his former team.

Donovan McNabb and the Redskins beat the Eagles 17-12 in Week 4 this season as a football betting underdog. Washington jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and held off quarterback Kevin Kolb and the Eagles for a low-scoring win. McNabb was just 8-for-19 and had 125 passing yards in that contest, and he’s been battling behind a suspect offensive lines going through shuffling, changes and little continuity. Washington (4-4) has lacked an identify on offense as head coach Mike Shanahan likes to run the football, and the lack of solid line play has limited the running game. So too has the running back position, as the Redskins had to turn to a scout team running back Ryan Torain with injuries to Clinton Portis. The lack of ground game and consistent passing success will hurt the Redskins and their football betting backers this week.

Philadelphia has too many offensive weapons and Michael Vick is back to starting at quarterback to give the Eagles more mobility and playmaking options. Vick and the Eagles offense struggled in the red zone last week settling for three field goals inside the Colts 10 yard line. But more football betting success is expected this week against a Washington defense that has been among the very worst in the league allowing 393 yards per game. The Eagles should have plenty of success moving the ball with smooth running back LeSean McCoy able to slash and speed his way against a Redskins run defense allowing 4.6 yards per rush to rank #26 in the NFL. McCoy is a big threat in the passing game as well, catching short screens and passes while leading the Eagles in receptions. Big play receivers DeSean Jackson is an electric home run threat with exceptional speed and game breaking ability. Combined with wide receiver Jeremy Macklin, quarterback Vick should have plenty of options for football betting success.

NFL Insider Tip: The road team is 6-1-1 ATS the last eight meetings. Philadelphia coach Andy Reid is 31-15 ATS away with revenge, including 14-5 ATS against division opponents. Reid and the Eagles are 6-0 ATS on the division road on Monday night match-ups. Washington is 0-9 SU and ATS their last nine Monday night home games. Washington is the only NFL team to lose the stats (total yardage) in every game they played this season, and they are most likely to be out-gained by the Eagles again setting up a football betting winner on Philadelphia.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Game Date/Time: Monday, November 8, 8:35 ET
Game Location: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One
NFL Football Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers (-5) -110 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (+5) -110: Over/Under 41.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) try to bounce back following a nationally televised loss last week at New Orleans. The Steelers dominating defense held the Saints running game to just 30 yards rushing but Pittsburgh was unable to slow down Saints quarterback Drew Brees. This football betting match-up should be intense, as Cincinnati (2-5) is the reigning AFC North champion and must win this game to have any chance of staying in the playoff picture and divisional race. The Bengals beat the Steelers in both meetings last season but are not getting nearly as much production out of Cedric Benson and the running game this season.

Cincinnati averages 101 rushing yards per game with Benson (77/game) down nearly 20 yards per game rushing from a year ago. You can’t expect the Bengals to have much football betting success running the ball against the Steelers #1 ranked run defense that allows just 59 yards rushing per game and a league-low 14 points per game.

Cincinnati has lost four straight games entering this Monday night showdown while Pittsburgh is playing their third straight road game. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will make his third start following suspension and should have success leading the Steelers on the ground and through the air. Cincinnati is allowing 342 yards per game this season; up from just 304 yards per game allowed last season. Add in a poor Bengals pass rush and you have a football betting road favorite that should have the best of it at the line of scrimmage.

NFL Insider Tip: Pittsburgh is 8-1 ATS its L/9 visits to Cincinnati and the Bengals are 9-20 ATS against AFC opponents the last three seasons. Pittsburgh is 9-0-1 ATS on the road after a SU loss as an underdog.

Cincinnati is on a 0-4 SU & ATS run, and in the Bengals last three contests, they have allowed 354, 452 and 391 yards to offenses less productive than Pittsburgh’s. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is at his best against lesser division opponents going 23-1 SU and 20-4 ATS against those foes rated Class B or less (less than 70 percent winning).

The Steelers are one of the AFC’s top teams this season and will be plenty motivated and in redemption mode against a division opponent. Look for the Steelers to show a national football betting audience whose boss Monday night.

Washington Redskins vs. Detroit Lions
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
TV/Radio Broadcast: FOX, Sirius
NFL Odds: Washington Redskins (+3) -120 vs. Detroit Lions (-3) +100: Over/Under 45

We came away hardly impressed with the Redskins lackluster 17-14 win at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears last week. Donovan McNabb threw for just 200 yards and was picked off twice, and it took a four interception outing from DeAngelo Hall and a terrible non-call for the Skins just to escape with the three-point win. Detroit enters this spot well rested coming off their bye, and now gets Matthew Stafford back into the mix after going down in Week 1 with a shoulder sprain. The Skins lost in this venue last season, and already went into a dome stadium on the road and got plastered by the St. Louis Rams this season. With the Lions 3-0-1 ATS the L/4 times they were installed home chalk up to three points, be sure to add Detroit to your list of NFL Week 8 predictions. Slam the Lions!

Miami Dolphins vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Sirius
NFL Odds: Miami Dolphins (+1.5) -110 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) -110: Over/Under 44

I will continue to pick on the Bengals every week until this overhyped team shows me they’re ready to hang with big boys and play to their potential. With just two wins under their belt on the year, the Bengals enter this Week 8 showdown with a very pissed off Dolphins outfit that was robbed of a potential victory at home against the Steelers last week. To make matters worse for the Bengals in this spot is the fact that Miami has won all three of its road games this season, while dropping all three at home to solid opposition. Now two games back in the AFC East and losers of both tiebreakers, this is a game the fins must have to keep pace with both the Jets and Patriots. While the Bengals aren’t entirely out of it, I just don’t see them ever catching the Ravens. Cincy might look the part of a team in an ideal bounce back scenario, but don’t let them fool you, be sure to have the dolphins as part of your Week 8 NFL predictions. Slam the Dolphins!

Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Sirius
NFL Odds: Buffalo Bills (+7.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5): Over/Under 46

So, JQP opened the paper and saw that Buffalo racked up over 500 yards against the Baltimore Ravens vaunted defense last week. After reading it, they threw their money down on the Bills at (+9) and though they got a steal. Not so fast my friend! The Bills flat out stink and will by no means be up for another out of division road contest after leaving it all out on the field and still coming up short in overtime. Almost the same scenario presented itself earlier this season when the Bills returned home off a competitive game at New England to face the Jets. NY pasted them 38-14 that day, and the game wasn’t even as close as the final score. As long as oddsmakers continue to undervalue the Chiefs, I will be there to pounce. Kansas City must be a part of your Week 8 NFL predictions as they should be no less than double-digit favorites in this spot! Slam the Chiefs!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 4:15 ET
Game Location: Phoenix Stadium, Phoenix, AZ
TV/Radio Broadcast: FOX, Sirius
NFL Odds: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) +100 vs. Arizona Cardinals (-3) -120: Over/Under 39

Both squads enter this Week 8 NFL predictions battle in second place of their respective divisions. That said; which one of these do you truly believe has the gusto to actually win the division or qualify for the Wild Card? Neither, yeah me too. But seriously, am I to believe this Bucs squad can’t go into the desert and steal a win much like they did at Cincinnati? Zona prides itself on forcing turnovers and limiting its mistakes. With the Bucs only coughing it up five times offensively, it more than likely means the Cardinals will have to earn this one themselves. Not gonna happen, so back the Bucs as they shockingly move to 5-2 on the year. Slam the Buccaneers!

A Monday night divisional match-up should generate plenty of football betting interest when the New York Giants travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. Dallas is desperate at 1-4 and in last place of the NFC East while the Giants enter 4-2 and tied for the top spot with Philadelphia.

New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys
Game Date/Time: Monday, October 25, 8:30 ET
Game Location: Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Dallas Texas
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN

NFL Football Odds: New York Giants (+3) +100 vs. Dallas Cowboys (-3) -120: Over/Under 44.5

The Cowboys were a football betting loser again last week as more miscues, turnovers and penalties proved costly again as they lost at Minnesota. Dallas out-gained Minnesota 314 to 188 yards and held the Vikings offense to just 3.8 yards per play. Why the continued losing for the Cowboys despite more impressive stats than most opponents? Penalties, turnover, mistakes and a lousy coach. Dallas is another football betting team that is long on talent and lacks any competence in coaching and discipline. The Cowboys lead the league with 81 penalty yards per game, many at inopportune times costing the team a big play, scoring or field position.

The New York Giants have put together a solid three game winning streak thanks to a defense that has taken over as the NFC’s #1 unit. New York is allowing just 264 yards per game and NFL best 4.3 yards per play. The Giants were a football betting winner against two top passing attacks and were able to shut them both down. Houston’s Matt Schaub passed for just 171 yards and Chicago’s Jay Cutler was limited to just 42 yards passing with his backups totaling 72 yards through the air. However, the Giants relentless pass rush sacked Bears quarterbacks 10 times including Cutler nine times in the first half alone.

The Giants defense faces their toughest challenge to date, as Dallas is the NFC’s #1 offense averaging 400 yards per game and quarterback Tony Romo is among the league passing leaders with a 313 yards per game average and 10 touchdowns through the air. Wide receiver Roy Williams has been a football betting favorite of Romo in the red zone, as Williams has caught five touchdown passes while wide receiver Miles Austin is Romo’s top target with 33 receptions and nearly 100 yards per game.

The Giants offense is balanced with quarterback Eli Manning passing for 246 yards per game and 10 touchdowns while Ahmad Bradshaw has taken over a bulk of the running duties, averaging a very solid 5.3 yards per rush and 97 rushing yards per game. Brandon Jacobs is still the big back that has four touchdowns and gives the Giants a needed football betting back in short yardage. Hakeem Nix has emerged as a top target with six touchdowns and over 400 yards receiving on 36 receptions. Steve Smith compliments Nix with 34 catches and 370 yards receiving.

NFL Insider Tip: The ‘over’ is 6-2-1 ATS the L/9 overall meetings and 9-1 ATS in the Giants L/10 games against NFC opponents including a 6-2 ATS mark to the ‘over’ on field turf.

Both teams have offensive weapons and competent quarterback play to move the ball, despite some solid defensive stats on both teams. With the football betting world watching Monday night, this should be a real showcase of talent with plenty of big plays and scoring opportunities.

A Monday night divisional match-up should generate plenty of football betting interest when the Tennessee Titans travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Both teams enter 3-2 and in a four-way tie for first place in the AFC South.

Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Game Date/Time: Monday, October 18th, 8:30 ET
Game Location: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN

NFL Football Odds: Tennessee Titans (-3) +105 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) -125: Over/Under 45.5

The Jaguars were a surprise football betting winner at Buffalo last week as many ‘experts’ expected them to stumble on the road against a desperate Bills team. Trouble is the Bills are the worst team in the NFL. Jacksonville dominated the ground game with 216 yards rushing, so their win was justified despite three turnovers and none for Buffalo.

However, the Jaguars allowed a very bad Bills offense to total 306 yards offense and 5.7 yards per play including 5.2 yards rushing. In NFL football betting, you’ll cash more winners when supporting the better defense with a solid running game. That’s the case with the Titans in this match-up, as Tennessee runs for 4.6 yard per carry with All-Pro Chris Johnson carrying the load while the Jaguars average 4.4 yards per rush led by Maurice Jones-Drew.

The rushing yards per game are nearly even at nearly 140 yards per game, but the Titans have faced three top-10 defensive units while the Jaguars have taken on just one, and Jacksonville only ran the ball for 71 yards against the Chargers. The Jaguars have the worst fan support in the NFL, and home field has provided very little football betting victories as the Jaguars are just 5-14 ATS their last 19 home games.

Jacksonville has many weaknesses on defense, not the least being a slow and vulnerable secondary. While the Titans passing game is sub-par with Vince Young, a strong Titans running game should open up plenty of play action passes to open receivers. The Jaguars pass defense allows 282 yards per game with a opponent quarterback passer rating of 107; the second worst mark in the NFL ahead of only the Buffalo Bills. Football betting backers of the Jaguars can’t feel good about those defensive pass problems or that the Jaguars allow 66 percent completions and 385 yards per game overall. Jacksonville is allowing 6.5 yards per play; the worst average in the NFL.

Now, Vince Young is no Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers or Kyle Orton when it comes to passing the football, but while the Jaguars could not contain those quarterbacks, it’s likely they have a very tough time slowing down the Titans strong ground game. Tennessee was a football betting winner as a 7-point underdog last week at Dallas as the Titans averaged 5.8 yards per play against a much better Dallas defense and won the game outright 34-27. Of note is that the Titans came out passing the ball against Dallas with Young throwing 16 of the first 25 snaps with a 24-yard touchdown pass. There was more emphasis on the downfield pass last week and the Titans should feel more confident to open up the passing game playbook against the Jaguars dotted-hole secondary.

NFL Insider Tip: Titans have covered five of seven in these division rivals recent series, while the Jaguars have covered just five of the L/19 football betting spreads in their own house. Tennessee is the much better overall squad, and will show that tonight by avoiding the letdown from last week’s huge road win and take it to the Jags!

Football betting is our business and the NFL is our specialty here at BetUS Sportsbook. This week’s Monday night marquee match-up determines the NFC East early season leader between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins
Game Date/Time: Monday, October 4th, 8:30 ET
Game Location: Dolphin Stadium, Miami, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Sirius, XM Radio

NFL Football Odds: New England Patriots (-1.5) –110 vs. Miami Dolphins (+1.5) –110: Over/Under 46.5

Two NFC East contenders meet in a marquee Monday night match-up that should draw big ratings and football betting interest. Miami (2-1) is a prime time host for the second straight week after losing 31-23 to the third NFC East contender last Sunday night; the NY Jets.

New England (2-1) rolled up 445 yards offense against the division’s weakest team but allowed the Buffalo Bills awful offense to score 30 points and average 7.1 yards per play.

Despite facing three sub-par offensive teams, the Patriots are struggling on the defensive side. New England ranks no. 27 giving up 379 yards per game while allowing 30, 28 and 24 points. Opponents are averaging 5.9 yards per play and completing over 69% of their passes, despite New England facing sub-par passers Fitzpatrick, Sanchez and Palmer.

In this football betting match-up the Patriots should have a tough time slowing the Dolphins balanced attack with quarterback Chad Henne improving his passing game to compliment Miami’s usually strong ground game and ‘wildcat’ attack.

New England is the NFL’s no. 1 scoring offense this early season, averaging 30 points per game. Quarterback Tom Brady is sporting a high passer rating of 112 with eight touchdown passes. His big play receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker are now joined by a pair of solid pass-catching tight ends to make New England’s passing attack even more potent.

Miami’s offensive output should improve in this football betting contest after gaining 436 yards and 6.2 yards per play last week against the strong Jets defense. The Dolphins match-up well here and Chad Henne will likely come out throwing more after Miami’s coaches gave him the green light last week. Henne responded well with over 350 yards passing and 8.2 yards per pass attempt.

The Patriots don’t have a capable defensive back to cover Brandon Marshall, and the big receiver should shine with a national football betting audience expecting big numbers again after Marshall caught 10 passes for over 160 yards and a touchdown last week.

NFL Insider Tip: The ‘over’ is 7-1-1 in Miami’s last nine home games. The Patriots and Dolphins combined for 766 and 864 yards offense in their two meetings last season.

Miami has a solid shot as ‘Dog with the better defense at home, but the best football betting play looks to be the total with plenty of yards and scoring expected.

My Monday Night Over-Under Pick: New England Patriots/Miami Dolphins ‘Over’ 46.5
