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.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 3rd, 4:05 ET
Game Location: Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-7) -110 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+7) -110: Over/Under 46

The Colts really looked like they were running a clinic last week at Mile High Stadium, as they devoured the NFL odds and smashed the Broncos 27-13 in a game that was never really out of their control. Yes, Indianapolis had several tense moments in the game, but every time something big was needed, No. 18 stepped up to the plate.

Peyton Manning is still one of the best in the biz, and his numbers prove it once again this year. Manning has thrown for 1,013 yards and nine TDs without tossing an INT on the year, and his 69.1 completion percentage is amongst the best in the NFL.

The question, as always, is whether the Colts can stop the run or not. They did so last week with no problems, holding Denver to just 47 yards on 18 carries, but the Jags have averaged 180.6 YPG on the ground in their L/8 against them.

As for the Jaguars, they’re going to have their work cut out for them if they want to beat the NFL odds on Sunday.

David Garrard not only has to look over his shoulder at Luke McCown now, but at the newly acquired Trent Edwards as well. Garrard is only completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 448 yards and four scores against five picks this year, numbers which certainly aren’t good enough at this level.

The Jags were outgained by 213 yards last week in a 28-3 home defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, which might signal the beginning of the end of the 2010 season. Jacksonville has allowed 66 points over the L/2 weeks against playoff caliber opponents, but neither of them are up to the level of Manning and the Colts. Needless to say, it will be an uphill climb to conquer the NFL odds in this one.

NFL Insider Tip: The Jags are just 7-25 ATS in their L/32 games on grass against the NFL odds.
This is just a bad case of a big time mismatch for the Jags. Jacksonville just isn’t ready to step up to the plate and beat this type of a team, regardless of whether it is home or away. Put up more nail in Jack Del Rio’s coffin as the head coach of the Jaguars.

Peyton and company will beat the NFL odds on Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 3rd, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, OH
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Football Odds: Cincinnati Bengals (-3) -115 vs. Cleveland Browns (+3) -105: Over/Under 37.5

For the Bengals, this is going to be a tough road trip for a team that has just played miserable ball away from Paul Brown Stadium of late. They did get over the hump last week in a 20-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers, but the hosts looked absolutely hopeless on offense with rookie Jimmy Clausen at the helm.

Head coach Marvin Lewis knows that another sloppy game like that is going to be the death of his team. Carson Palmer still doesn’t quite look right this year. He has thrown for 707 yards and has done a good job keeping all of his receivers happy, but a 56.6 completion percentage and a 3/3 TD/INT ratio just isn’t going to cut it.

For the Browns, Jake Delhomme is going to be back under center after a two game absence. He threw for 227 yards in a Week 1 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he is clearly the choice for head coach Eric Mangini under center when he is healthy.

Jerome Harrison was supposed to be the man toting the rock this year on the ground, but thanks to a thigh injury, Peyton Hillis has had a chance to shine. The former member of the Denver Broncos had 144 yards on the ground last week, giving him 220 and three TDs on the season. He was the reason that Cleveland turned up on the right side of Week 3 NFL predictions in a 24-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on the road.

Cleveland’s defense hasn’t been torched this year that badly, as it has held two of its three opponents to 17 points or less. The pass defense did allow three TDs last week, but it has kept foes to just 199.0 yards per game for the year.

NFL Insider Tip: The Browns are 8-1 ATS over their L/2 seasons in the month of October, making this a month of particularly successful NFL predictions.

Cleveland is the pick in this game. This has been a feisty team all season long and it only seems like a matter of time until it figures out how to win a game outright. The Bengals have only covered one of their L/14 against opponents in Week 4, so for whatever reason, this appears to be a cursed week.

Cleveland makes for our top NFL predictions on Sunday.

NFL Odds are our specialty here at BetUS Sportsbook, and we’re back with yet another great duel to bring you for Week 3 between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 26th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX
TV/Radio Broadcast: Fox, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Dallas Cowboys (+3) -125 vs. Houston Texans (-3) +105: Over/Under 47.5

The Cowboys are in a lot of trouble right now, and they’re in that deep doo thanks to their offense. The defense has done a suitable job, holding foes to just 279.0 yards and 20.0 points per game.

However, did you ever think that a team with a backfield of Felix Jones, Marion Barber, and Tashard Choice would average just 69.5 rushing yards per game?

That’s where Dallas sits right now, and it is spoiling the efforts of a passing attack that ranks second in the league with 325.5 yards per game. Give Tony Romo some credit, as he is doing his job to help beat the NFL odds. Romo has completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 656 yards. He only has two TD passes on the year, but he has certainly made a perennial Pro Bowler out of Miles Austin who leads the NFL in receptions with 20 and receiving yards with 288.

It has been a season of firsts for the Texans, and they are paying off with wins against the NFL odds. Arian Foster became the first running back to run for more than 225 yards in a game. Matt Schaub has become the first quarterback to throw for more than 450 yards. Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter became the first duo of receivers to have 100+ yards in the same game. Neil Rackers won the first overtime game in the history of the team as well.

Up next? The first playoff berth in team history.

A win on Sunday would move the Texans to 3-0 for, to no surprise, the first time in franchise history. The biggest question that Gary Kubiak has to have coming into this game is how his pass defense is going to hold up. The Houston Texans secondary is ranked dead last in the league with an average of 411.0 yards per game allowed.

However, when your offense is averaging 32.0 points and 440.5 yards per game, you can afford a few defensive blunders and still be 2-0 against the spread on the season.

NFL Insider Tip : The Cowboys are just 5-11 ATS in their L/16 on the road. The dead man that you see walking on the visitors sideline might just be Wade Phillips. That star on his chest might turn into a bulls-eye for Jerry Jones when this game is over, because the Texans are going to roll, which will drop the Dallas Cowboys to a woeful 0-3 on the year and on life support.

Go with Houston to beat the NFL odds on Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Denver Broncos
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 19th, 4:05 ET
Game Location: Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium, Denver, CO
TV/Radio Broadcast: Fox, Westwood One, Sirius

NCAA Football Odds: Seattle Seahawks (+3.5) -110 VS. Denver Broncos (-3.5) -110: Over/Under 40

New head coach Pete Carroll probably couldn’t have drawn it up any better than this. The Seahawks opened up Qwest Field in 2010 with a dominating victory over the San Francisco 49ers 31-6, crushing the football odds by the biggest margin of any team in Week 1.

Matt Hasselbeck didn’t exactly look like the man that led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl not that long ago, but he did look like a totally different quarterback than the one that led last year’s disgrace of a team. He completed 18-of-23 passes for 170 yards and a pair of TDs.

The key on Sunday was the defense, which forced a pair of Alex Smith INTs and nailed Frank Gore for just 38 yards on 17 carries.

The Broncos didn’t play a bad game last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a few things became painfully obvious that this team just isn’t going to be able to reconstruct in all likelihood.

The first obvious problem that caused for the Week 1 loss against the football odds was that there just wasn’t that much of a pass rush. Just one sack isn’t going to cut it on a regular basis, and that’s what Elvis Dumervil averaged by himself last year.

The second big problem is that Kyle Orton doesn’t have a receiver that he is truly comfortable with. And why not? Brandon Marshall was a man amongst boys at times for the Broncos last year, and with both he and Tony Scheffler gone, there aren’t many familiar targets left.

Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal picked up the slack, but neither are clearly star quality. Lloyd had eight passes thrown his way, connecting on five of them for 117 yards. Royal had eight catches for 98 yards. Orton ended the day with 295 yards through the air and one TD pass with an INT.

NFL Insider Tip: Seattle is just 1-8 ATS in its L/9 tries against the football odds.

Though Denver isn’t a significantly better 8-21-1 ATS in its L/30 home games, we just can’t take the Seahawks at this inflated price after last week’s romp. If this game were played two weeks ago, Seattle would be a TD underdog in all likelihood. We don’t think that it proved anything to us by beating the Niners down in the long run.

As a result, we’re going with Denver against the football odds on Sunday.

My NFL Predictions: Denver Broncos (-3.5) -110
