Falcons take on Jaguars in Thursday Night Showdown
December 15, 2011
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of their most impressive performance of the season, but it’s hard to get too excited about this team as they have not shown the consistency needed to be successful in the NFL. The best way to exemplify how unpredictable this team can be is by seeing what they’ve done following a win. NFL handicappers that are worth their weight know to stay away from this team following a win as they are currently 0-3 against the spread in those games. I predict that that...
Patriots look to slow the Tebow Express
December 13, 2011
Is the Tim Tebow phenomenon legitimate? It will be debated all season long, but a close look at the number shows that this team has stepped it up on every level. No one including NFL experts expected the Denver Broncos to be leading the AFC West, especially after a 1-4 start. Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots will be the ultimate test in what has been a remarkable turnaround. A win Sunday should be enough to get everyone on the Bronco Bandwagon. When Tebow took over for a struggling...
Seahawks and Rams in NFC West Showdown
December 12, 2011
At the time the NFL scheduled this Monday Night match-up, it seemed like a good idea. The St Louis Rams lost in the last game of the season in 2010 to allow the Seattle Seahawks to back their way into the playoffs and pull off one of the most improbable win that we’ve seen in years. Seattle took down the reigning Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints in the wildcard round of the playoffs, and made NFL experts and football analysts look silly in the process. Now that we are a full 14 weeks into...
Bengals host Texans in Battle of AFC Playoff Contenders
December 11, 2011
The red-hot Houston Texans will face their toughest test in weeks when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday afternoon in what is sure to be a closely contested match-up. NFL experts have been predicting that the Texans would break through for nearly 3 seasons, but this is the first year in which those predictions look to be quantified. Cincy is down but not out of the AFC North, and can work their way back towards the top with a much needed win over a very balanced Houston squad. This has all...
AFC North Battle: Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland
December 8, 2011
Thursday night’s NFL match-up looks to be extremely lopsided. The Cleveland Brown have proven that they are still a long way from being a contender in the AFC, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to prove that they are the AFC’s best representative heading into the playoffs. NFL experts had the Steelers listed as the odds-on favorites to win the AFC North, but 2 losses to the Baltimore Ravens have them in a position to win the division outright in order to get the bye. Pittsburgh has a relatively...
Chargers in Must-Win Situation Monday Night
December 5, 2011
The Jacksonville Jaguars have one of the worst offenses in NFL history. As poorly as the Colts and Rams have played this year, the Jags have performed far worse on the offensive side of the ball, and currently rank dead last in total offense. The decision to release David Garrard put this offense in the position to rely on a rookie quarterback to move this offense. It’s been extremely obvious to NFL experts and the common fan that Blaine Gabbert has a long way to go before he can be considered...
Steelers host Bengals in AFC North Showdown
December 4, 2011
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won 2 consecutive games following their second loss of the season to the Baltimore Ravens. One of those wins was over a Cincinnati Bengals team that has been playing inspired football all season long. Sunday’s battle will be a tough one as the Bengals look to redeem themselves in what was an embarrassing loss at home the last time they played Pitt. NFL experts had the Steelers as odds-on favorites to win the AFC North prior to the start of the season, but Baltimore...
Saints host Giants in Monday Night Showdown
November 28, 2011
The New York Giants suffered their worst loss of the season as they allowed a beat up Philadelphia squad with a back-up quarterback to beat them at home. There is no team in the league that has been more hurt by injuries than the Giants, but they have somehow managed to get out to a 6-4 start and are a half game behind the Cowboys in the NFC East. NFL experts had the Eagles winning this division prior to the start of the season due to their off-season acquisitions, and the play that they got from...
Chargers look for win against Tebow led Broncos
November 27, 2011
The San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos have quickly moved in opposite directions. A lot has changed since the last time these teams met in week 5. San Diego pulled out a 5 point win at Denver and had full control of the AFC West with a 4-1 record. Since that game, the Chargers have gone 0-5 while the Tim Tebow led Broncos have won 4 out of 5. This turn around could be because of a combination of things, but NFL handicappers and the majority of football fans didn’t foresee this coming. Tim Tebow...
Harbaugh Brothers Battle on Thanksgiving Day
November 24, 2011
The Harbaugh brothers will go head to head for the first time on Thanksgiving Day as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens in a battle of division leaders. NFL handicappers have listed the Ravens as small 3 point favorites at home for this one, but the Niners have yet to not cover a game this season. A 9-0-1 record ATS makes San Francisco the most profitable team in the league, and shows that not even oddsmakers can tell how good they really are. We should have a better indication...
