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

Monday Night Football Pick: Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears: September 27th 2010

September 27, 2010 By

BetUS Sportsbook is back with more football betting analysis for this Week 3 Monday Night Football duel between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
Game Date/Time: Monday, September 27th, 8:30 ET
Game Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Football Odds: Green Bay Packers (-3) +100 vs. Chicago Bears (+3) -120: Over/Under 46

Many are touting Aaron Rodgers as the favorite to win the MVP Award this year. We must admit that Rodgers has a great shot now that Ryan Grant is out for the season, because the onus is clearly going to be on his back to lead the Packers to football betting wins and the playoffs.

However, without a rushing game, Mike McCarthy knows that his team isn’t winning the Super Bowl. In last week’s romp of the Buffalo Bills, there wasn’t one man that rushed for even 40 yards on the day. That isn’t going to cut it against the best in the NFL. Watch for Jermichael Finley to have a big impact on this game, as the big tight end is coming off of a great game in which he caught four passes for 103 yards against Buffalo.

Whomever replaced last year’s bad version of Jay Cutler and replaced him with the version of Jay Cutler that was a first round draft choice and projected to be the star of a franchise deserves a purple heart in the Windy City. All of a sudden, it looks like Cutler “gets it,” as he has guided the Bears to two football betting victories due to the fact that he has only thrown one INT on the season against five TD passes.

Even Matt Forte, who had a miserable sophomore campaign a year ago, is getting back into the fold quite well. He might only be averaging 2.9 yards per carry on the ground, but he has 12 catches for 188 yards and three TDs through the air, making him the team’s leading receiver.

Still, that team average of 2.78 yards per carry won’t cut it if the Bears are beating the football betting lines on Monday Night Football.

NFL Insider Tip: The Packers are 10-3 ATS in their L/13 football betting affairs against the NFC North.

This opportunity is just too good for the Pack to pass up. Especially if by chance the Minnesota Vikings get beaten on Sunday by the Detroit Lions, they can go three up on their biggest rivals and a game and the tiebreaker up on the nearest competitors. If this is really one of the best teams in the league and Rodgers is legitimately an MVP favorite at this point in the year, this game will be one that they figure out how to win.

Look for Green Bay to trump Chicago in Monday Night Football betting festivities.

Week 3 NFL Football Parlay Pick: September 26th 2010

September 24, 2010 By

Our Rabid Dawg Parlays are always sure to bark loudly here at BetUS Sportsbook, and we’re back with another great duo of dogs that are sure to boost your bankroll. We’re 4-for-4 this season with our Rabid Dawgs cashing with the Steelers and Dolphins last week, so check out our football betting parlay of pups for Week 3!

Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 26th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: New Meadowlands Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Tennessee Titans (+3) -110 vs. New York Giants (-3) -110: Over/Under 42.5

The Titans were embarrassed last week at home by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but this week presents an entirely different type of challenge for them. The Giants historically have a hard time stopping the run, something that Pittsburgh obviously had no troubles doing last week. If Chris Johnson can get going, there is no telling how strong the Titans can look to their foes.

New York is also in a bit of turmoil right now, as there are a plethora of injuries to deal with. Antrel Rolle also spouted off this week, stating that the team doesn’t have the proper leadership to go the Super Bowl.

This is all something that Tennessee can feed off of. Last week, the team turned the ball over seven times. That simply won’t happen again. If the ‘D’ can contain the Giants offensively, it’s going to look like the wrong team is favored in this football betting battle.

San Diego Chargers vs. Seattle Seahawks
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 26th, 4:15 ET
Game Location: Qwest Field, Seattle, WA
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: San Diego Chargers (-5.5) -110 vs. Seattle Seahawks (+5.5) -110: Over/Under 44

The Chargers looked simply awesome last week when they smacked the Jacksonville Jaguars, and did so without the services of Ryan Mathews for the majority of the game. Odds have it, the rookie out of Fresno State will be grounded again this week, which is just the beginning of the problems for San Diego.

The Bolts are taking a long road trip here to some treacherous territory. Qwest Field is historically one of the biggest pains to try to go into and take a football betting decision. The offense has enough confidence remaining from its 31-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers to be able to do some damage against the Chargers, who have only really survived this season based upon turnovers.

If the Seahawks can take care of the football, the hometown crowd will keep them in this game. This is the case of a football betting affair where one team plays terribly on the road and another plays well at home, and we plan on pouncing.

Take the Seahawks and Titans in our Rabid Dawg Parlay to cash in with football betting parlay odds of roughly 7 to 1!

College Football Betting: The Best And Worst Of The Big East: September 15th 2010

September 15, 2010 By

As we prepare for another great week of action on the gridiron, we take a look at how the teams in the Big East are faring thus far over the course of the year. We’re running with the Bulls atop the Big East College football betting poll this week at BetUS Sportsbook.
CLICK HERE FOR MIKE ROSE’ EXPERT NCAA FOOTBALL PICKS

1: South Florida Bulls (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – No one in this conference is perfect ATS, but at least the Bulls are close. The Skip Holtz era has started off well, as USF has a dominating win over Stony Brook and a respectable loss in the Swamp against the Gators that was a heck of a lot closer than the final score indicates.

2: Connecticut Huskies (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Getting destroyed in the Big House didn’t set the Huskies back too far in football betting action. Opening up a massive can on Morgan State will help soothe the pains. A trip to the City of Brotherly Love this week could prove treacherous, as Temple is for real.

3: Syracuse Orange (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – What’s the key to getting the Orange a cover? Play a team like Akron which barely deserves to keep its FBS status! Want proof of just how bad Syracuse is right now? They failed to cover a near two TD spread at U-Dub who went into the game 1-9 ATS the L/10 times it was favored at home.

4: Pittsburgh Panthers (0-1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Better times will come for the Panthers one of these days, but that loss in OT to Utah is going to sting for awhile. The ‘Stache still has something special in Dion Lewis.

5: Cincinnati Bearcats (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Taking care of Indiana State 40-7 was a lot more costly for the Bearcats than just another loss against the football betting lines; Vidal Hazelton has been lost for the season. The Butch Jones era has gotten off to a rocky start

6: Rutgers Scarlet Knights (0-2 ATS, 2-0 SU) – One of the few teams in the nation that is 2-0 SU but just 0-2 ATS, Rutgers has played some dominating ‘D’ this year… But what gives with the 50 points scored in two games against two duds?

7: West Virginia Mountaineers (0-2 ATS, 2-0 SU) – If the Mountaineers are going to challenge for the 2010 Big East title, they need to prove they can beat teams like Marshall without the use of overtime. Geno Smith needs some work, but Noel Devine is still absolutely the real deal.

8: Louisville Cardinals (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) – The Cards might have lost the battle of the state of Kentucky, but they did pick up the first win of the Charlie Strong era last week in relatively tenuous fashion over Eastern Kentucky. Good luck this week in Corvallis, Louisville – You’re gonna need it!

Monday Night Football: Chargers vs. Chiefs Odds & Prediction: September 13th 2010

September 13, 2010 By

If you’re looking for the best football betting advice on the internet, BetUS Sportsbook is the site for you! Today, we’re taking a look at Monday’s crucial tilt for the San Diego Chargers, as they look to start on the right foot with a beat down of the Kansas City Chiefs.

San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Game Date/Time: Monday, September 13th, 10:15 ET
Game Location: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: San Diego Chargers (-4.5) -110 vs. Kansas City Chiefs (+4.5) -110: Over/Under 45

Like it or not, the Chargers are really going to be going into the regular season without the services of Vincent Jackson, one of the top receivers in the NFL. Even if by some major miracle Jackson does report to camp before Monday night, he is going to be facing a three game suspension regardless and will not be available.

Expect to see Philip Rivers using a lot of Malcolm Floyd, Legedu Naanee and his version of Old Reliable, Antonio Gates, especially in crucial situations.

The running game is going to be interesting this week, as this could be the start of a fantastic career for Ryan Mathews, the team’s first round draft choice out of Fresno State. Many are already giving football betting advice that hints that Mathews will be the Offensive Rookie of the Year this season, and if he gets enough action, that is most likely to be the case.

For the Chiefs, this year is all about achieving respectability. Kansas City has really struggled a ton in recent years, and there are just a lot of players that need a ton of work in order to turn this franchise around.

Matt Cassel absolutely has to do better than the virtually even TD/INT ratio that he posted last season. He doesn’t have the weapons at his disposal at wide receiver that most other QBs in this division and conference do, which will really set his growth back.

Defensively, it’s all about rookie Eric Berry this year. The team’s first round draft choice is expected to come in and immediately help transform a terrible defense into a respectable one just by being on the field.

NFL Insider Tip: The ‘over’ has gone 10-1 in San Diego’s L/11 games played in the month of September and is 15-5-2 in Kansas City’s L/22 home games.

So why not think this will be a higher scoring game? Charlie Weis is going to want to get his offense off on a high note this year, especially after a relatively dismal preseason. We know that the Chargers can do a ton of damage, even without Jackson in the lineup.

For our best football betting advice, go with the ‘over’ on MNF.
