Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a season ending injury during the preseason last year when he tore ligaments and dislocated his left knee. Almost a year after the injury, Bridgewater doesn’t know when he will be able to return to the field.
Speaking to reporters at the start of training camp, Bridgewater said while he doesn’t know when he will be cleared for practice or return to the field, he knows it will eventually happen.
Bridge water sounded hopeful during the press conference, and said his doctors did not call his injury a career ending one. He also credited his mother’s battle with breast cancer for giving him the strength to take on the difficult rehabilitation.
“That’s the good thing about all this — I get to continue to live out my dream,” Bridgewater said. “We don’t know when it’s going to happen, but for me, I know that it’s going to happen.”
Since he isn’t going to be ready for the season opener, the Vikings placed Bridgewater on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
Head coach Mike Zimmer said there is no timetable for Bridgewater’s return, and admitted that the initial prognosis for the quarterback’s knee was bleak. Zimmer added that Bridgewater did a remarkable job to get to the point he is right now in his rehab.
During mini-camp in June, Bridgewater was able to drop back and throw the ball. He also posted a picture of himself working out without a knee brace on his Instagram account.
When the injury occurred, Bridgewater said there was no contact, but he knew something was wrong. The team’s training staff quickly put his knee in an air cast and rushed him to the hospital because the dislocated knee put him at risk of losing his left leg.
Even though the team declined his fifth year option, Bridgewater said he understood the logic behind the decision.
Bridgewater intends to continue rehabbing his knee and hopes he will eventually be cleared to return to the field.
On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Lucky Whitehead a few hours after learning the receiver was arrested in Virginia and charged with larceny. Whitehead reportedly didn’t show up for a court hearing earlier in the month, which led to another charge.
The Prince William County Police Department said they arrested Whitehead around 1:30 AM. On June 22 after a convenience store employee noticed he left the store without paying for some items.
Whitehead was charged with shoplifting under $200, a misdemeanor, but failed to show up for his arraignment on July 6.
When news of the arrest broke, Whitehead said it was a case of mistaken identity because he wasn’t in Virginia at the time the crime occurred.
His agent, David Rich, told ESPN that he informed the Cowboys that Whitehead was in Dallas on June 22 and had a flight ticket to prove it.
Despite Whitehead and his agent’s claims that he wasn’t in Virginia at the time of the incident, the Cowboys released the receiver. After Whitehead was released by the team, executive vice president Stephen Jones decided to release Whitehead based on a culmination of incidents involving the receiver over the past 12 months.
On Tuesday, the Prince William County Police Department confirmed Whitehead’s story and issued a statement saying the man they arrested on June 22 was not Whitehead.
The department said the man they arrested didn’t have identification on him, but he verbally provided them with Whitehead’s name, date of birth, and social security number.
The department apologized for the impact the publicity had on Whitehead and his family.
Despite having his name cleared of any wrong doing, the Cowboys said they won’t be bringing Whitehead back and have moved on.
Rich said he will speak with Whitehead and his family to figure out how to proceed, either legally or through the NFL Players’ Association.
“We got made an example of,” Rich said. “They needed to make an example of somebody to get those boys’ heads on straight. It is calculated. But I get it. It’s business … Jason Garrett said it. They needed to do what’s in the best interest of the Cowboys. I think they’re wrong, but I get it.”
The Atlanta Falcons and running back Devonta Freeman have been trying to come to a contract agreement since the end of last season, but still haven’t been able to reach an agreement.
On Monday, the former Pro Bowler told ESPN that Freeman reached out to him for some advice on his contract situation.
When asked what he told Freeman, James said, “At the end of the day, usually that stuff takes care of itself. He’s got good people, a good team around him. He’s got his agent. And you don’t let it distract you from being a football player. If he does his part as a football player, everything else will take care of itself.”
After rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, the 2014 fourth round pick from Florida State is expected to receive a long-term contract from the Falcons.
In the past two seasons, Freeman has a total of 3,175 yards from scrimmage and 27 combined touchdowns. He is scheduled to make $1.8 million this season if both sides can’t come to an agreement.
Despite both sides being at an impasse, Freeman said he isn’t going to holdout and will be there when training camp begins on Wednesday. He told reporters that he will remain patient with the process and let his agent handle the contract negotiations.
James, who was picked fourth in 1999 by the Indianapolis Colts, was a 21-day holdout as a rookie before signing a seven year contract worth $49 million.
Even though he did it as a rookie, James said he wouldn’t recommend Freeman take the same path especially since both sides seem to want to get a long-term deal done.
“It’s not even a risk for the team; it’s one of those safe bets,” James said. “Hopefully they lock him in and take good care of him there in Atlanta.”
Colin Kaepernick has been on the hot seat since protesting the national anthem early last season. Kaepernick played for the dreadful 2-14 San Francisco 49ers and managed to put up decent numbers. He started the year recovering from a shoulder injury, but once he took the field he threw for 2,241 yards 16 touchdowns and 4 interceptions for a solid 90.7 quarterback rating. At the culmination of the season Kaepernick opted out of his contract, which finished off a complete overall of the organization. Kaepernick had some free agent visits with several teams but hasn’t signed a contract. Is he worse than all the quarterbacks in the league, or did teams blacklist the young quarterback for his outspoken views regarding social issues?
All signs point to Kaepernick being one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but he does have some injury concerns. Colin sat the bench behind Alex Smith his rookie season and was looking to do the same in his second year, but when Smith went down with a concussion Kaepernick stepped up and stole the job. He led the team to the Super Bowl, and then the following year he took them to the NFC championship game. In 2014, the 49ers had a huge drop in production due to locker room concerns surrounding everyone in the locker room, but Kaep had career numbers. In 2015, he chose to have season ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. The team was in the middle of a serious overhaul and people began to speculate that he would not return the following season. He then put up the great numbers mentioned above in 2016.
Since it’s obvious Kaepernick is a good quarterback who has proven he can lead a team to the NFL’s biggest stage, why doesn’t he have a job? The biggest concern for Kaepernick is that the No Fun League doesn’t want players who speak their minds. Nothing scares owners more than pissed off fans, and Kaepernick was very outspoken during a divisive time in our country. Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed by the owners for his outspoken activism, and he will not make a roster to start the season. Kaepernick won’t make a roster because his price tag is too high for him to be a distraction and possible piss off the hometown fans. However, players get injured every week in the NFL, and some quarterback will go down with an injury. Colin Kaepernick should wait by his phone because some team is going to call once the season gets underway.
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might have just dodged a bullet as the Dallas Police Department suspended their investigation into an incident involving Elliot over the weekend.
According to the NFL, a source close to the investigation said the department was suspending the case due to their inability to contact the victim and a lack of witnesses.
The Dallas Police Department issued a statement on Wednesday in which they said, “the department made several attempts to contact the victim through various ways but at this time have not been able to make contact.”
The incident the DPD was investigating occurred on Sunday night and a 30-year-old man was hospitalized with a nose injury. No arrests have been made and the police did not name any suspects.
According to an NFL official, the league is aware of the situation and is looking into it to make sure they have the right facts.
Elliott, who was the runner up to teammate Dak Prescott in the Offensive Rookie of the Year award voting, was already under investigation by the NFL for a domestic violence incident in 2016.
At the time of Sunday’s incident, there were reports that Elliott was bracing himself for a short suspension for the domestic violence incident, but the NFL has not made an announcement regarding its investigation.
Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones told reporters he has spoken to Elliott since the Sunday incident but is still waiting to hear more about it. Head coach Jason Garrett said he hasn’t spoken to Elliott but plans to do so on Friday.
Garrett also told reporters that he did not want to get into specifics about the case but that Elliott is someone the Cowboys believe very strongly in as a football player and a person.
“We’re going to continue to believe in him and try to put a structure around him, and all of our players, to help them make great decisions and grow on and off the field,” coach Garrett said.
Last season, the Oakland Raiders had the sixth best offense and they only got better in the offseason. The Raiders had two major free agent signings with receiving tight end Jared Cook, and All-Pro power back Marshawn Lynch. These signings push the prolific offense over the edge and they will be the best offense in the NFL. Oakland will be unstoppable in the 2017 campaign because they have 5 players (Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jared Cook, and Marshawn Lynch) who can score at will.
The Raider just made Derek Carr the highest paid player in the league with a $125 million contract extension. Carr is coming off a broken ankle that ended his 2016 season, and he will win the Comeback Player of the Year Award. Carr’s favorite targets are Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree who both surpassed 1,000 yards last season. I expect each of these players to repeat their success and for Cooper to have a breakout year with 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns. I also predict that Carr will have a career year with 4,500 yards and 35 touchdowns.
Signing Marshawn Lynch and Jared Cook pushed this offense from good to great. Marshawn Lynch was an All-Pro and five-time Pro-Bowl selection who wanted to come play for his hometown team before they relocate to Las Vegas in two seasons. Marshawn is in top form and I would expect big things from him this year. Marshawn took all last season off, and only played in 7 games during the 2015 season. His body is well rested and he will be the workhorse back this team desperately needs. The signing of Jared Cook gives Derek Carr yet another target who can put up big numbers. Cook is an 8-year veteran who will have an immediate impact.
These weapons in the Raiders’ offense will keep the defense honest, and the Raiders will methodically pick apart every team they face.
There are a few ways a player becomes a bust. He can be selected with a high draft pick and not play well, the team can trade the farm for the player and have it not work out, or he could have injuries that prevent him from reaching his fullest potential. Mitch Trubisky has 2 strikes against him, and we sincerely wish the third strike doesn’t befall the young quarterback. Mitch Trubisky does have the good fortune of playing behind an offensive line that gave up the 7th fewest sacks last season. The Bears signed Mike Glennon to a 3-year $45 million deal before the draft, so Mitch Trubisky will likely learn from the sidelines his rookie season. The team also lost last season’s leading receiver, Alshon Jeffery to free agency, so neither quarterback will have a confident number one receiver, but they do have 6 veteran wideouts fighting for their careers, which can be just as good if played correctly.
These reasons point to a rough start for the drafts #2 overall pick, but that’s not even the biggest factor in Trubisky becoming a bust. The Bears traded the 49ers their #3 overall pick, a third rounder (#67 pick), a fourth rounder (#111 pick), and a 2018 third rounder to move up one spot. The real kicker is that the 49ers weren’t even considering taking Trubisky with the pick. Trading away these picks cost the team 2 third round picks that would likely turn into starters and the fourth-round pick that would at least be a role player on the team. They lost 3 players to pick a quarterback that would have fallen to them anyways. This will be the greatest pressure on the young quarterback. The organization essentially placed their next 5 years in Trubisky’s hands.
The good news is that when everything is against you there is only room for improvement. The Bears front office will play the most important role in Mitch Trubisky’s future. The organization must surround Trubisky with talented young players that he can grow and develop alongside. Kendall Wright and Cameron Meredith will have to play like their careers depend on it. A pocket passing quarterback needs to have a consistent deep threat receiver, and the Bears will have to make a splash in free agency, or use another high draft pick to sign a top college prospect.
The only time we will see Mitch Trubisky this season is if he plays incredibly well during the preseason and earns a starting spot, or Mike Glennon goes down with and injury. If he earns the starting role then the trade will have been worth it, and if Glennon goes down then Trubisky is getting valuable experience that will help him when the team makes improvements next offseason. If Trubisky doesn’t prove himself in his second season then we can have the bust discussion, but until then we shouldn’t have high expectations for a rookie success story.
Each year there is a rookie that takes the NFL by storm. Last year when Tony Romo went down in a preseason game, a fourth-round rookie quarterback took the helm and led the Cowboys to the best record in the NFC. Here is our list of rookies that will have the biggest impact this season along with their player profiles.
Corey Davis – WR – Tennessee Titans
Corey David makes this list because of his unique combination of speed, strength, leaping ability, and physicality when going up for a catch. The 6’3’’ 209-pound deep threat was a four-year starter at Western Michigan where he amassed 5,285 career receiving yards, and a jaw-dropping 97 catches for 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns as a Senior. Don’t let the Mid-American Conference undermine his athletic abilities, Davis would have been a 1,200-yard receiver at any power 5 conference. The Titans selected him with the fifth pick in the draft and will be Marcus Mariota’s number one receiver. In a depleted receiving corps Davis will surely see multiple double teams, but I project he will have 75 catches for 950 yards and 8 touchdowns.
Deshaun Watson – QB – Houston Texans
The Houston Texans swapped first round picks with the Cleveland Browns along with their 2018 first round pick, so they could take Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson with the 12th overall selection. Watson was the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year, two-time Heisman finalist, two-time Davey O’Brien Award winner, two-time Manning Award winner, and National Champion. You couldn’t imagine a better resume from your incoming rookie quarterback. He will be throwing to a stable of speedy young receivers that can take any pass to the end zone. He would be our pick for Offensive Rookie of the Year, but many NFL teams have a new philosophy that it’s better to sit a rookie quarterback their first year to gain experience and develop their confidence. If there’s one exception to this rule it is Deshaun Watson. I believe he will take over the starting role by week 5, and finish the season with 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, 15 interceptions, with an additional 350 rushing yards for 4 touchdowns.
Leonard Fournette – RB – Jacksonville Jaguars
Leonard Fournette is the kind of athlete that only comes around once a generation. He has the breakaway speed to burn any defender, the physicality to break a defender’s sternum while he runs through them, and the athleticism to stop on a dime and spin around opposing players or use his patience to let blocking develop and accelerate through the gaps. When I first saw him run I compared him to Adrian Peterson, but the more apt comparison would be the legendary Bo Jackson. Fournette had the misfortune of being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and their substandard offensive line. There is some injury concern with Fournette, but I attribute this to typical injuries a running back would play through, but he was smart to realize he would be a millionaire in the NFL, so he didn’t push himself because he was playing for free in college. Jacksonville is a passing team, but with a playmaker like this is the backfield they will get the ball in his hands. I expect him to get 250 carries for 1,250 yards and 14 touchdowns.
John Ross is one of the best young receivers in this draft class. The speedy Washington receiver shocked the sports world with his 4.22 40-yard dash, and the Bengals snagged him with their 9th overall pick. He is paired with All-Pro A.J. Green who will be the perfect veteran to mentor the talented 21-year old receiver. With two speedy receivers, defensive coordinators will have to game plan how to contain this two-headed beast, because a cover one can’t contain both, and they will burn past any defender playing man-to-man.
Many people don’t know that John Ross played both sides of the ball in his early years at Washington. He was such an athlete that the Washington coaches weren’t sure how to utilize his talents. In 2014, Marcus Peters was kicked off the team and he played corner until he tore his ACL to end his season. He says that was the best thing to happen to him because he locked himself in the film room and studied the game. He began working out with DeSean Jackson, and he attributes his 2016 success to the advice he received from Jackson. In his redshirt Junior season, Ross caught 81 passes for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Ross will head to Cincinnati with fellow speedy rookie Josh Malone from Tennessee. Ross will be an immediate starter along with A.J. Green and Brandon LaFell. He will play with Andy Dalton, who is going to have the best season of his career throwing to this stable of receivers. I expect John Ross will be one of the top 3 rookie receivers in the league. He will be Dalton’s favorite target aside from Green, and he will take the NFL by storm. John Ross will receive 115 targets for 85 catches, 1,100 yards, and 12 touchdowns. He will be a top finalist for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Americans may not know that they can bet on football (NFL, College Football) games online or live in the USA. As a matter of fact, almost anyone can begin betting on the NFL with a few taps or swipes on their mobile device. With betting sites such as Bovada and BetOnline available to patrons in the USA, live betting on the NFL and College Football (NCAAF) has never been simpler or easier.
To begin betting on football in the USA, you simply need to register for an account at Bovada or BetOnline. Once you are registered, you’ll need to have a credit or debit card that allows international transactions to take place. To activate this feature, you may need to call your bank and tell them that you will be buying items from an international vendor.
Do not tell them that this is for a sports betting transaction. Say that it is a digital good or a collectable from overseas. Most companies won’t ask, but if you are asked, it is not advised that you say this is for an overseas online gambling related transaction. Once your card is approved by your sportsbook, you are all set to begin betting on football games online.
Another alternative is to link your bank account to an online Bitcoin trading service such as Coinbase. When you have deposited money into Coinbase, you’ll want to transfer this BTC to another BTC wallet that you control and then use that account to begin sending money to your preferred online betting website of choice. This is how you can bet on the NFL online in the United States.
The trade deadline in the NFL regular season usually comes and goes with little to no surprise, however most seasons will have at least one major in-season trade that nobody sees coming. Last season we saw the Jamie Collins trade from the Patriots to the Browns. These trades happen when good players are reaching the end of their contract and their team doesn’t want to pay. The organization will trade the player before the year ends so they can get something in return for a lost investment. These are the 3 players in contract years that could be traded.
The Buffalo Bills have announced that they will not exercise Sammy Watkins fifth year extension. This means that the former #4 overall pick in the draft will likely test the free agent market. Watkins had a phenomenal rookie season with 65 catches for 982 yards and 6 touchdowns. He followed it up with 60 catches for 1,047 yards and 9 touchdowns. At the end of the 2015 season, he sprained his ankle and needed to have surgery in the offseason. The injury has plagued him and he missed the first 8 weeks of the 2016 season and had a 2nd surgery on the ankle this offseason. If he has a strong recovery he could still get a deal from the Bills, but the organization is in the middle of a rebuild and they will spend the money elsewhere.
The New England Patriots are always considering trading their star players instead of paying them. This is because they evaluate young talent so well that they consistently replenish their roster in the draft. The Pats All-Pro cornerback Malcolm Butler is due for a big payday, and the Pats have already tried to trade the talented young corner. Butler has made important plays when it matters and he will demand to be one of the highest paid corners in the league. Bill Belichick will not pay him, and he will be sent packing before the season ends.
The Jets are cleaning house and have already cut several big-name players including K Nick Folk, T Breno Giacomini, C Nick Mangold, CB Darrelle Revis, WR Brandon Marshall, RB Khiry Robinson, LB David Harris, and WR Eric Decker. The only good player on the team that hasn’t been cut is Sheldon Richardson who they are actively trying to trade. Richardson is a great defensive tackle, and there are several teams that would benefit from his big frame in the middle. The Jets are tanking their 2017 season, and I would expect them to trade Sheldon Richardson for a late draft pick before the season is over.

How to Bet on Kentucky Derby Online for 2017
First, in order to bet on the Kentucky Derby online you need a betting account at a sportsbook site.

Update: Greenbay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys and now are facing the Atlanta Falcons to see who will advance to Super Bowl 2017. Updated 2017 Super Bowl online betting odds have predicted a Falcons and Patriots matchup.
The Green Bay Packers will travel to Dallas to play the Cowboys in the marquis game of the NFL divisional playoffs. The Packers have been hot over the past 7 weeks, winning 7 games straight.
The Cowboys finished the NFL season with one of the best records in the league. The Cowboys have lost to the Giants twice, however the Packers just demolished the Giants in the Wild Card Weekend game.
The Packers will be a 4 point underdog in this contest. Many fans believe that Aaron Rodgers deserves the MVP award. Other fans believe that Dak Prescott should win the award.
This game could be the event that settles the MVP debate. With Aaron Rodgers playing lights out, teams have struggled to find ways to defeat the rejuvenated Packers. If the Packers can play decent on defense, they will be stay competitive with the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys are able to put the ball into Ezekiel Elliot’s hands early and establish the run, the Cowboys will likely win this game.
Much of the early money is being bet on Green Bay to win. Most sports betting experts believe that the Packers are playing much differently than they did in their game against the Cowboys earlier this season.
In that game, the Cowboys defeated the Packers in Green Bay with a score of 30-16. Could it be a repeat performance or have the Packers really turned things around?
After one of the most exciting weekends in football in the entire 2016-2017 NFL Season, Wildcard Weekend was a great success for many sports bettors.
Wildcard Weekend gave us 4 home team favorites that all covered the spread. If you had put down $100 on a 4 team home parlay, you would have turned that $100 into $1,200 in one single weekend.
Sportsbooks probably took a beating this weekend since there were no upsets. The most impressive game was the Green Bay game in which the Packers effortlessly up 38 points on a solid New York Giants defense.
Green Bay did this without their star receiver Jordy Nelson. This Wildcard Weekend has setup several intriguing matchups for the divisional round. The next 4 NFL playoff games are:
Could the favorites sweep the weekend again? If you are looking for a chance at an upset, the Packers could potentially upset the Cowboys and the Seahawks could potentially upset the Falcons.
It could be another bad day for the online sportsbooks if all of the favorites cover the spread once again in the NFL’s Divisional round of the 2016-2017 playoffs.
As people begin making their 2017 New Year’s resolutions, NFL fans will be get the opportunity to begin watching a full slate of games on January 1st.
In Week 17, all teams will be playing division rivals. The battle for the #5 and #6 seeds in the NFC playoffs will take place when the Giants play the Redskins.
The Giants have the #5 seed locked up but if the Giants defeat the Redskins, the Redskins will have no way to make it into the playoffs.
The Redskins defeated the Giants at the Meadowlands in Week 3. Can the Redskins once again defeat the Giants? In Week 3, the Redskins edged out a two point win. In Week 17, they will be playing at home at FedEx field.
Kirk Cousins and the Redskins will need to play one of their best games of the year to beat the Giants. Although the Giants just lost to the Eagles, the Giants are coming into the playoffs with a good team.
Given the fact that the Giants are the only team to beat the Cowboys, the Giants could make it far if they get favorable matchups in the NFL playoffs.
The Redskins are –7 ½ point favorites going into Week 17. Perhaps the Giants will rest a few starters or maybe the sportsbook remembers their ugly loss to the Eagles in Week 16. Nevertheless, this will be an entertaining New Years Day NFL football game.
It looks like a two horse race in the AFC South as the Titans and Texans will likely play for AFC South championship in Week 17. The Titans will have to get past the Jags in order to increase the likelihood of a playoff birth.
The Jags will host the Titans at EverBank Field in Jacksonville on Saturday, December 24th at 1PM. The Jaguars have endured a terrible season by only winning two games so far. Current NFL online betting odds from our recommended sportsbooks have the Jags as +4.5 point underdogs. They’ve recently fired their head coach and most of the players in this Week 16 matchup will be playing for pride.
The Titans have improved as the season has progressed, racking up wins against potential playoff teams such as the Broncos, Chiefs, Lions and Packers. Many NFL fans were impressed by the Titans comeback performance against the Chiefs.
If the Titans win the AFC South division, they will host their first home playoff game in nearly 8 years. The Titans must first get past the Jags, who will be playing with renewed energy after losing their head coach.
The Titans are 5 point favorites in this event and many believe that the line will keep moving in favor of the Titans. The Titans should easily win this game which will setup a week 17 showdown for the division against the Texans.
The Tennessee Titans will travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs are battling the Raiders for the AFC West division championship, therefore this game is pretty important for the Chiefs.
The Titans are also in a must win situation, given the fact that they will need to win out the season to have a chance at the AFC South division race. It’s unlikely that the Titans would get a Wild Card playoff spot.
The Chiefs will start Alex Smith at quarterback. While Smith doesn’t put up huge numbers, his level of play is consistent and he doesn’t turn the ball over. Marcus Mariota is becoming an NFL star. Quarterback has been a questionable position for the Titans in recent years. Mariota could be mature enough to make an impact in the NFL.
The Chiefs are coming into this game as a 6 point favorite. Although 6 points is a pretty big advantage in the NFL, it is important to note that the Titans have not lost a game this season by double digits. If this trend holds true, you could consider putting the Titans in a 6 point teaser.
The game could possibly become a high scoring affair. Online sportsbooks have listed the game at 43 points, which seems like an awfully low number considering the Titans and Chiefs have put some points in other games throughout the season.
The New Orleans Saints will travel to Tampa to play the Buccaneers in a Week 14 NFC South showdown. The Buccaneers are tied with the Falcons for the best record in the NFC South while the Saints stumbled last week against the Lions and fell to 5-7.
If the Saints want any shot at the playoffs, they must win this game. That’s going to be a tough feat to accomplish. Did you know that Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won their last four games?
More impressively than that, the Buccaneers have won 4 straight games against quality teams. The Bucs shutdown the Seahawks and Chiefs and these are two teams that will likely be in the playoffs.
If the Buccaneers can keep up this high level of play, they shouldn’t have any problems putting away the Saints at home.
In order for the Saints to win, Drew Brees will have to key in on his receivers and have a perfect day. The New Orleans defense will likely need a few lucky bounces in order to sneak out of Tampa Bay with a win.
Tampa Bay is currently a 3 point favorite at NFL online betting sites. The point total is 52, which means this game could turn into a shootout. If Tampa Bay can keep playing well, they should be able to defeat the Saints in Week 14.
The New England Patriots will host the Los Angeles Rams in week 13 of the 2016 NFL season. This matchup is intriguing because the Patriots will be hosting a west coast team at 1PM EST. This early kickoff combined with the Rams traveling cross country is an additional advantage for the Patriots.
The sportsbooks have listed the Patriots as an early 13 ½ point favorite in this competition. The Rams were recently blown out by the Saints and considering the fact that the Rams are starting a rookie quarterback, this should extra incentive to bet on the Patriots.
Could the Rams pull off an upset? The Patriots are currently 8-3 against the spread this season and their last two point totals have been under the line. The Rams have lost their last two games against the spread.
The Patriots have endured injuries throughout the seasons but all of their players seem to be getting healthy at the right time. Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski have seen increased playing time as of late and the Patriots are due to have a breakout game.
Do the Rams have a chance at defeating the Patriots? Head coach Jeff Fisher once lost in New England by 59 points when he was the head coach of the Titans. Could Jeff Fisher’s team once again lay an egg against the Patriots?
It’s a game that could reshape the standings in the NFC North conference. The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Baltimore to play the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 12 of the NFL Season. The 1PM EST kickoff will feature both of these teams vying for a chance to win the NFC North division.
With both teams coming off losses in Week 11, both the Ravens and Bengals will be hungry for a win. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton might be at a disadvantage considering the fact that he recently lost star wideout A.J. Green to an injury in week 11.
Although the Ravens were defeated by the Cowboys, the team was able to show signs of improvement as Joe Flacco was able to find open receivers such as Mike Wallace and Steve Smith Sr. Defensively, the Ravens may need some help. However, with the absence of A.J. Green, the Ravens may have the upper hand.
Most online sportsbooks have the Ravens listed as 4 ½ point favorites. Could the Ravens beat the spread against the Bengals? Thia game figures to be a low scoring affair, which is never good for people betting on favorites. That being said, the Bengals have struggled offensively and those struggles continue, the Ravens provide value in this Week 12 NFL matchup.
The New England Patriots were unable to defeat to the Seattle Seahawks at home in week 10. Could the Patriots get back on track in Week 11 of the 2016 NFL Season against the 49ers?
From a sports betting perspective, the Patriots traveling across country to play a 4:05PM PST kickoff time against the 49ers presents several interesting possibilities. Current NFL online betting odds for this matchup have the Patriots as -7.5 point road favorites.
Most sports bettors have heard the theory about double digit home underdogs. In this case, the 49ers have opened the week at +14 underdogs. Since year 2000, double digit home underdogs have covered the spread over 60% of the time according to SportingCharts.
There’s also the whole aspect of New England playing the late game on Sunday and having to travel across country to play at Levi’s Stadium against the 49ers.
With all of this in mind, San Francisco has an inferior defense when compared to the Seahawks and the Patriots will likely have a field day throwing all over the depleted 49ers secondary. When you combine the fact that the 49ers aren’t very offensively talented, it’s plain to see that the Patriots will likely win this game.
The bigger question remains: Will Tom Brady and the Patriots beat the spread? New England is currently 7-2 ATS going into Week 11.
The Tennessee Titans will host the Green Bay Packers at Nissan Stadium in a Week 10 matchup. The Green Bay Packers have fielded an explosive offense; however the defense has been questionable throughout the season.
The Titans are similar in a sense. Tennessee has shown moments of greatness from starting quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Titans struggles come from putting together a complete game. The Packers are road favorites in this 1PM EST Sunday game. Aaron Rodgers has recently found Davante Adams to be a reliable wide out, while most defenses are focusing on wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
The Titans are currently 4-5 and the team is certainly playing for a chance to win the AFC South division. The Packers are trailing the Vikings in the NFC North and this game could have playoff implications if they can outright win the game.
The Packers are currently 2 ½ point favorites on the road. The earliest line available for this game showed the Packers as a 1 point favorite. The point total for this game is 48 ½. This game is not expected to be a defensive showcase, therefore it may be wise to consider taking the over if you enjoy betting on point totals in the NFL.
A matchup between two of the best teams in the AFC West will take place when the Denver Broncos will travel to Oakland to play the Raiders in a Sunday Night Football matchup.
The Broncos are looking to return to the Super Bowl to defend their championship without the help of future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Rookie quarterback Trevor Siemian is looking to manage the Denver offense to a win and so far this season, he has found relative success.
The Oakland Raiders will need to outpace the fierce Denver defense if they will have any shot at beating the Broncos. The Raiders could possibly be one of the fastest teams in the NFL. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree seems to be hitting his stride while Amari Cooper snagged a TD in Week 8.
When this line opened up, the game was listed as a pick’em. Neither side was able to get an edge, although various online sportsbooks seem to be listing the Raiders as 1 point favorites. Additionally, some sportsbooks out in Las Vegas seem to listing the Broncos as a 1 point favorite.
The experts believe this game will be close; This may be a game where you’d want to shop various sportsbooks to see if you can find a line that you like.
Week 8 of the 2016 NFL Season is shaping up to be one of the best weeks of NFL action all season. The Sunday Night Football game between the Eagles and the Cowboys could provide a sneak peak at the future of the NFL.
The Eagles and the Cowboys have both excelled in 2016 despite the fact that each team has started as rookie as quarterback this season. While Carson Wentz was expected to be a star in the NFL, Dak Prescott was expected to sit on the bench and learn from Tony Romo.
A large portion of the Dallas Cowboys fan base and NFL online betting players would prefer to see Dak Prescott continue to start if Tony Romo is able to return this season. Jerry Jones seems to think that Tony Romo could return as early as Week 10. If you bet on NFL games online or in Las Vegas sportsbooks then you really need to do your research and find out who is starting for the Dallas Cowboys between Dak Prescott and Tony Romo as the Cowboys starter will make a huge difference in what the NFL online betting odds are for Week 10.
Nonetheless, NFL fans will be able to see two of the best rookie quarterbacks faceoff against each other in the NFC East showdown. The NFC East is shaping up to be the most competitive division in the NFL, therefore the winner of this game could find themselves in control of their playoff destiny.
The Eagles recently defeated the undefeated Vikings in Week 7, could the Eagles use that momentum to defeat the Cowboys in Week 8? Dallas is being listed as a 4 ½ point favorite, although this betting line could move between now and kickoff.
NFL sports bettors always enjoy betting lines where the visiting team has to travel across 2 or more time zones. In Week 8 of the 2016 NFL Season, the Oakland Raiders will travel to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers. This game will kick off at 1PM on Sunday, October 30th and the game will be broadcast on CBS. There are a few decent games to take advantage of for NFL week 8 betting and the Raiders and Buccaneers is definitely one of them.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rebounded from a bad start to the season to win 2 games straight. In fact, many analysts feel as if the Buccaneers have matured since the beginning of the season. With Jameis Winston beginning to hit his stride, the Buccaneers could find a way to win this game.
In fact, the betting line for this game has the Buccaneers as 1 point favorite. Oakland’s starting quarterback Derek Carr put together a great 2nd half in the Raiders game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If this type of effort carries over into Week 8, the Raiders could be on their way to winning a much needed road game.
The Raiders are talented on offense but lack depth on the defensive side of the ball. This game has the potential to become a blowout. Keep this in mind because the point total for this game is listed as being 49 ½. If these two offenses catch fire, it is possible that the point total could go OVER in this game.
The New Orleans Saints will travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on October 23rd 2016. Drew Brees and the Saints have one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. The Chiefs were a playoff team last year, although their defense doesn’t seem to be as good as it was last year.
This showdown between the Saints and Chiefs is set to have a 1PM Sunday kickoff time. Early lines being published for this game have the Chiefs as a 7 point favorite. That number seems to be falling as some online sports books have lowered the point spread down to -6 ½.
From a sports betting angle, the Saints over/under total have been over in 4 of their past 5 games. In the Chiefs first 5 games, the points totals have been under in 3 of 5. New Orleans does not seem to play well on the road, therefore the crowd noise and grassy field may slow down their attack. New Orleans defense is suspect; therefore the offense will need to get a fast start to have a chance to win this game.
The Chiefs are favorites in this game and as long as quarterback Alex Smith has a decent game with minimal turnovers, the Chiefs should have the advantage against the Saints in the NFL’s Week 7 regular season.
