NFL Football Odds: Minnesota Vikings (+3.5) -110 vs. San Francisco 49er’s – (-3.5) -110: Over/Under 39

Minnesota (1-2) enters this contest fresh off a bye and the team hopes the addition of future Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss will ignite the offense that was so special last season.

Quarterback Brett Favre has been sub-par thus far and his lingering sore right elbow may be more problematic than he leads everyone to believe.

The addition of deep threat Moss should open things up for receivers Percy Harvin and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and football betting sports fans can’t wait to see Favre hookup with Moss for touchdowns.

The media should mob Favre in his return to New York, as recent ‘off field’ altercations have brought another distraction to him and the Vikings. The Vikings strong running game led by Adrian Peterson will be put to the test as the Jets allow just 3.2 yards per rush and 74 yards per game on the ground.

Football betting in the NFL involves finding advantages at the line of scrimmage and both these teams are strong along the offensive and defensive lines.

The Jets are averaging 167 yards rushing to rank #2 in the NFL. LaDainian Tomlinson has added a big boost to the running game alongside Shonn Green while New York quarterback Mark Sanchez has yet to commit a turnover this season.

But that’s likely to change against the Vikings pressure packages and solid secondary as the Vikings have the leagues #4 defense allowing just 276 yards per game with top-10 defensive rushing and passing units to support Favre and the offense.

NFL Insider Tip: The Vikings are 6-1-1 ATS recently off a bye and Brett Favre is 12-1 SU and 9-3-1 ATS his last 13 games with extra time to prepare.

While the Jets have put up some impressive offensive stats the last couple weeks, the sledding will be much tougher against the Vikings stout defense. Look for an output more closely resembling its Week 1 battle against the Baltimore Ravens.

NFL underdogs has been a solid betting proposition again this season, and the situational analysis with Minnesota off a bye and the Jets just finishing and winning three straight division games has the Vikings looking live Monday night as a solid money making opportunity.

Football betting should be huge for the Monday night marquee match-up and with the lights shining bright we’ll take a shot with the underdog as Favre delivers one more time on the big stage.

New England Patriots (+130 odds) – Once upon a time, the Patriots felt like the prohibitive favorites to win the AFC East every single season. That just doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, as the Jets are hot on their tails. However, the more things change, the more they seem to stay the same. WR Randy Moss is still one of the most feared receivers in the league and QB Tom Brady is going to throw for just as many yards and touchdowns as any other signal caller in the game, provided he stays healthy. How could we really pick against this team with all of that in consideration?
My NFL Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in AFC East

New York Jets (+140 odds) – Objects in your rear view mirror might be closer than they appear. The Jets didn’t exactly sneak up on anyone last season, as first year HC Rex Ryan told everyone exactly what he was going to do. He was going to run the heck out of the football, blitz your quarterback regardless of the situation, and try to smack you in the mouth. Mission accomplished. New York nearly missed the playoffs, but ultimately ended up one bad half of football away from the Super Bowl. The bad news now is that everyone has a year of tape on the Jets to watch. The good news is that WR Santonio Holmes, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, and DB Antonio Cromartie are now in the fold. The better news is that QB Mark Sanchez has a year of experience under his belt. Worst news of all – The Jets don’t possess the pansy schedule they struggled with a year ago.
My NFL Predictions: 9-7, 2nd place in AFC East

Miami Dolphins (+325 odds) – The Fins were the subject of some bad luck last year, as they ultimately ended up losing both QB Chad Pennington and RB Ronnie Brown for the season before they really had a chance to make a push at the playoffs. Still, with two games left in the season, they knew they controlled their own destiny, and though they failed, the Dolphins should still hold their heads high. We don’t believe that QB Chad Henne is ready to lead a team to the Promised Land, though.
My NFL Predictions: 7-9, 3rd place in AFC East

Buffalo Bills (+2500 odds) – Could the Bills be the worst team in football this year? New HC Chan Gailey really doesn’t have a heck of a lot to work with, especially at the quarterback position. Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Brian Brohm together probably don’t even equal Henne, let alone Brady. Yes, drafting RB CJ Spiller was nice, but it’s certainly not nice enough to salvage a team that probably plays the hardest last place schedule in football.
My NFL Predictions: 3-13, 4th place in AFC East
