Good teams beat bad or mediocre teams, which is exactly what the Jets have done during their first three-game winning streak since 2011. New York must do it again Saturday against the struggling Dallas Cowboys to keep their playoff hopes alive in the congested AFC....
The Rams could be playing their final game in St. Louis on Thursday with a move to Los Angeles in the works. Kind of ironic since the fans in the LA area experienced the exact same feeling 20 years ago when the franchise bolted to the Midwest. The Bucs aren’t going anywhere. And that includes the playoffs after last week’s lackadaisical performance in a loss to the Saints....
If you strictly look at rushing yards per game this season, there are only three backs averaging more than 90 yards per game in the NFL. Two of those three, Todd Gurley of the St. Louis Rams and Doug Martin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will be pitted against each other in one of the awesome fantasy football matchups at BookMaker.eu....
Week 14 was a bizarre one in the NFL, as all sorts of favorites and teams which were perceived to be better on the field ended up getting beaten.The results have thrown the playoff picture into flux all over the map, though Week 15 is going to serve as a clarifier for sure for a lot of the open postseason spots....
The final quarter of the NFL's season got underway on Thursday night with the Cardinals and Vikings, but that was only the tip of the iceberg of what should be one of the more competitive weeks of play the NFL has had to date. Check out some of the big line movements we've had for the weekend games.Note: All current NFL odds listed as of Thursday morning. Check up-to-the-minute odds at BookMaker.eu....
It probably shouldn’t be a primetime matchup. The flailing New York Giants, who are coming off yet another embarrassing fourth-quarter collapse, will attempt to snap a three-game slide and move back atop the NFC East when they visit the Dolphins on Monday Night Football....
Seattle’s recent hot streak won’t be enough to get them the NFC West crown, but the Seahawks are the last team anyone wants to play right now. They’ve proven in the past two weeks they can beat quality opponents. Now, they’ll have to prove that they can continue playing well against teams that have nothing to lose....
The NFC East is up for grabs and if the Redskins want to claim the division title, they’ll have to win on the road. It will be a challenge since they have yet to do that this season. There is hope against a Bears team that struggles at home. Chicago gift-wrapped a Niners win last week, falling to 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS at Soldier Field this season....
Brock Osweiler has made Denver fans forget all about future HOFer Peyton Manning, leading the Broncos to three straight wins. One more victory can wrap up a fifth consecutive AFC West title. Once in the thick of the playoff hunt, the Raiders have floundered lately and need to end an eight-game losing streak to their rivals to resuscitate any postseason hopes....
The Atlanta Falcons have a chance to stop their melt down from reaching historic levels if they can knock off the Panthers. Not an easy thing to do against a team that has won 16 straight regular season games and can clinch a first-round playoff bye. No team since the 1970 merger has started a season 5-0 and finished below .500. There’s a first for everything, right Atlanta....
We’ve been trying to write the Cowboys off all season, but the rest of the NFC East just wouldn’t allow that to happen. After their huge Monday night victory, Dallas is within one game of the division lead. A win over the suddenly perplexing Green Bay Packers would go a long way toward keeping their playoff hopes alive....
Ending an 11-game home losing streak and coming from behind in dramatic fashion last week could be what propels the Titans to a season-ending run that lifts the interim tag from coach Mike Mularkey. Or it could just be a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tennessee looks to build off that game and end New York’s three-game win streak while crippling the Jets playoff chances....
The Bengals would like nothing more than to clinch their second AFC North title in three years against their hated rivals. And they can do it by sweeping the season series from Steelers for the first time since 2009. No easy task against a Pittsburgh squad that’s gone 8-0 SU and ATS in its last eight December games....
It’s been a long time the Patriots lost three games in a row. In fact it’s only happened once since Tom Brady took over as the starting quarterback, and that was way back in 2002. But in the wake of their two straight losses, oddsmakers aren’t giving the banged up Pats much respect. The Pats opened as 3-point chalk against the Texans – the second lowest spread in their favor this season....
The Colts’ dominance over AFC South opponents will play a pivotal role in final stretch of the regular season to determine who claims the title this season. Indianapolis is 19-2 against division foes over the last four seasons and has won 16 straight. Three of the Colts remaining five games are against division rivals and they’ve won the last six against Jacksonville going 5-1 ATS in that span....
The Chiefs are playing like the best team in the AFC right now and get a return engagement with the Chargers, who they blasted by 30 points just three weeks ago. The Bolts opened as a 10-point underdog for the tilt, just the third time since 2004 they’ve been tabbed as double-digit dogs. KC is a sizzling bet with six straight covers while climbing the ranks in the AFC....
The Houston Texans know that the AFC South title is still there for the taking. Nine wins is the dead minimum that will get the job done in all likelihood, and that means this game against the New England Patriots is one which really has to be won to give them a realistic chance of claiming their third playoff berth in franchise history....
The New England Patriots and Houston Texans will duke it out this Sunday in the primetime game on NBC, and you can bet that tensions are going to be high. The first score is going to be crucial in this game, particularly if it's the hosts who get it. Houston has had a history of falling way behind when it gives up an early score, something that could happen in a hurry against these Patriots. That's why most of the New England players are going to be the men who will be the favorites to score the first touchdown of this game....
Even though both the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants are 5-7 heading into the final quarter of the season, they're still both very much so alive in their respective conference playoff races.A loss for either would be devastating for sure though, which is why this Monday Night Football showdown is incredibly crucial....
The NFC East is a woeful division this year, but there are a few players who really stand out as difference makers. One of those men is Odell Beckham Jr. The New York Giants are only going to go as far as ODB carries them, something that the Miami Dolphins are very likely to find out on Monday Night Football this week....
For as bad as the Green Bay Packers have been, particularly on the offensive side of the ball for the last month and a half, they're still sitting atop the NFC North and are largely in a position where their next three games don't matter that much. That said, they want to get some momentum going forward for that last game of the year against Minnesota, and a game against the Dallas Cowboys could be the way to continue building the "mo" from that Hail Mary in Motown....
A four-game losing streak knocked the Saints out of the postseason picture. The Buccaneers can make it official with a win on Sunday, while helping their case in an improbable run to playoff contention. Tampa Bay is playing good football going 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS over its last eight and knocked off the Saints in Week 2 as a 9.5-point dog....
Expect the Browns to take Johnny Manziel out of time out and insert him into the starting lineup for their game against the 49ers. Johnny Football gives them the best chance of winning and the fans, however many there may be, might actually stick around until the fourth quarter. The Niners feel good about their chances of getting consecutive wins for the first time all year against a team more dysfunctional than they are....
The Rams started the season with impressive wins against Seattle and Arizona and were in the playoff equation a month ago. But things have fallen apart. St. Louis is mired in a five-game losing streak and coach Jeff Fisher is starting to show signs of cracking. There’s a good chance he doesn’t make the move to Los Angeles, which it looks like the Rams are already preparing for....
The Cardinals know they can’t let up with the Seahawks charging fast in the NFC West. Arizona can move a step closer to the division title and a first-round playoff bye with a win over the Vikings, who are still tied atop the NFC North after getting drubbed by Seattle last week....
