Several key matchups highlight the Week 16 NFL schedule as we get closer to the end of the regular season. And with the college football season done we get a few Saturday matchups to whet our appetite. The betting week opens on Thursday night with an AFC West contest between playoff teams Denver and the Chargers. There are two massive AFC games on Saturday with a battle of division l... 

In a potential Super Bowl preview the Buffalo Bills visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 15 of the NFL season. The Bills may have been looking ahead to this matchup and were caught off guard in a 44-42 loss to the Rams last week, ending their 7-game winning streak and putting them further behind Kansas City in the race for the top seed in the AFC. It was no fault of Josh Allen, though. The front-runner for league MVP accounted for six touchdowns in the loss. Jared Goff has something to say about the MVP award and has a solid body of work for the club with the best record in the NFC. Goff engineers the NFL’s highest scoring team and it’s no surprise that the total of 54.5 is the highest on the Week 15 Bitcoin Sportsbook board and also the largest in any game this season. ... 

The Minnesota Vikings are home favorites on Monday Night as they host the Chicago Bears on ABC. The Vikings have the second-best record in the NFC at 11-2 but because they are in the NFC North, they are one game behind the Detroit Lions who are 12-1. The Bears come into this game at 4-9 and on a 7-game losing streak. The Bears and Vikings met last month in Chicago... 

The Green Bay Packers are road favorites on Sunday Night as they visit the Seattle Seahawks on NBC. The Packers have the fourth-best record in the NFC at 9-4 but they happen to be in the NFC North where the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings have better records. On the other side, the Seattle Seahawks are 8-5 but in the NFC West that is good for first place, as S... 

Returning home after getting blown out in two straight road games was just what the San Francisco 49ers needed. They stopped a three-game losing streak with a win over the Bears making the NFC West even more congested. Games within the division will determine who wins it and we’ve got a good one to kickoff Week 15 when the Los Angeles Rams head north looking for their first regular s... 

With no more byes we return to a full slate of 16 games on the NFL schedule from here on out. Week 15 opens with a crucial NFC West battle between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night and concludes with a Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Chicago Bears won’t win the NFC North but they’ll play a big role in who does. Three of their last four games are a... 

The records are vastly different but the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings are fighting for the same thing when they meet on Sunday in Week 14 of the NFL season. Just a few weeks ago the Falcons were leading the soft NFC South at 6-3, but three straight losses now have them tied with Tampa Bay for the top spot. The Vikings own the second-best record in the NFL unfortunately they’... 

The Cincinnati Bengals are road favorites on Monday night, as they visit the Dallas Cowboys on ABC and ESPN. Normally this game would have been flexed out of the Monday Night Football spot, but because of Simpsons Funday Football, the game couldn’t be moved because the Bengals vs. Cowboys matchup was already set for that show. The Bengals come into this game at 4-8 and realistically out of playoff contention, while the Cowboys are 5-7 and not in much better shape in terms of playoff contention. ... 

The Kansas City Chiefs are home favorites on Sunday night as they host the Los Angeles Chargers on NBC. The Chiefs have the best record in the league at 11-1 but Kansas City has not been the best team to bet, as they are just 5-7 ATS. On the other side, the Chargers are 8-4 SU and they have been a profitable team to bet on, as they are 8-4 ATS. The Chargers boast the top defense in the league, as they are giving up just 15.7 points per game, while the Chiefs are 11th in points per game, as they ... 

A crucial showdown in the NFC North takes place in the Week 14 edition of Thursday Night Football when the Green Bay Packers visit the first place Detroit Lions.

However, teams in the competitive division a... 

After a smorgasbord of football over the Thanksgiving Holiday we have a more subdued time with only 13 games on the Week 14 NFL schedule. The final round of byes takes place this week with six teams taking time off, including a few that have been money against the spread at a Bitcoin Sport...

The Cleveland Browns will visit Denver on Monday night in what should be a win for the Broncos. More importantly, Den... 

Sunday night, what was originally thought to be a potential blockbuster matchup, is now a battle for survival. The San Francisco 49ers have fallen far short of expectations. San Francisco is running out of runway to make the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The 49ers have lost two straight games and were blown out on Sunday at Green Bay. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are coming off a bye week that followed a major home win over the then-unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo will host the desperate ... 

Thanksgiving week in the NFL is always a good time with three games on Thursday to get Week 13 of the NFL season started. In fact there will be at least one game on four of five days with the AFC West contest between Las Vegas and Kansas City taking place on Friday.

They’re faced with a difficult test on Thanksgiving night visiting the Green Bay Packers in the Week 13 edition of Thursday Night Football.

It’s been a wacky 2024 NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers one of the biggest surprises as they enter their Week 12 contest with the Green Bay Packers with a record of just 5-5. Following last year’s run to the Super Bowl, the Niners were expected to once again be a force in the NFC but they find themselves currently outside the playoff picture. The good news is that they compete in the NFC Wes... 

Week 12 concludes with an outstanding Monday Night Football matchup of top playoff contenders. The Baltimore Ravens are considered to be Super Bowl material, but their inconsistencies are driving fans and gamblers nuts. Baltimore has fallen behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for the lead in the AFC North. Of great concern is the recent red ink that the Ravens have splashed upon gamblers. Jim Harbaugh is making the Los Angeles Chargers a team built with his image in his first year on the... 

Sunday night, a potential playoff preview matchup will be on the board. The Los Angeles Rams will host the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia fans have been screaming for the head of head coach Nick Sirianni for most of the year, but he has the Eagles in the lead of the NFC East. Thus, Siriani has a cooler seat this week. Meanwhile, the Rams have been something of a tease. Head coach Sean McVay leads one of the most inconsistent teams on the NFL betting board. Both teams are showing good recent v... 

The AFC North is ultra competitive sending three teams to last season’s playoffs. It’s dropped off somewhat in 2024 but more times than not the games are grinders. The Pittsburgh Steelers went the first 10 weeks of the season without playing a divisional matchup, but they’ll make up for that the rest of the season with all six division games in their final eight. A run of four straight contests against AFC North foes started last week and continues with the Week 12 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Handicapping games between these rivals at your Crypto Sportsbook isn’t easy since you never know what can happen. The Browns earned their second win of the season in Week 8 defeating Baltimore 29-24 as a 7-point underdog. The early line has Cleveland catching 3.5-points. ...

The Houston Texans dominantly lead the AFC South. But the Texans have been inconsistent and unreliable at the betting window. Still, Houston is good enough to beat anyone that they play. Last Sunday night, the Texans had the opportunity to beat the Detroit Lions but failed to capitalize on the field, although they did send gamblers to the payout window. On Monday night, the Texans will hit the road to face the Dallas Cowboys, who are in a season of catastrophe. Dak Prescott is out with a hamstri... 

Sunday night, Cincinnati hits the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers. First-year head coach Jim Harbaugh has a team that is in the wild-card playoff hunt. Like his teams at Michigan, Harbaugh’s Chargers emphasize strong defense and elimination of mistakes. At the beginning of the season, gamblers were optimistic that the Cincinnati Bengals would show improvement. That is because of the expected recovery and return of quarterback Joe Burrow. Instead, the Bengals are struggling to gain traction... 

We have another meaningful division matchup to kick off Week 11 when the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles tangle for NFC East supremacy on Thursday Night Football.
