Oakland Raiders +7
New Orleans Saints -7
Total 47
Odds makers predicted score: Raiders 20 Saints 27

The odds makers don’t have the Saints losing two in a row at home. They’ll avenge last Monday night’s loss to the Vikings.

Baltimore Ravens +4
Indianapolis Colts -4
Total 38.5
Odds makers predicted score: Ravens 17 Colts 21

The odds makers have the Colts offense being a little bit better than the Ravens defense at home this week.

Cincinnati Bengals +5.5
New York Jets -5.5
Total 44.5
Odds makers predicted score: Bengals 20 Jets 25

0-5 on the season and 0-3 on the road, the books don’t think the Bengals will break through this week.

Carolina Panthers +1.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -1.5
Total 36.5
Odds makers predicted score: Panthers 18 Bucs 19

This game could have some NFC South Division title implications already in week 6 and the books have the Bucs escaping with a win at home. Judging by the total, they are expecting a defensive battle.

Detroit Lions +13
Minnesota Vikings -13
Total 45.5
Odds makers predicted score: Lions 16 Vikings 29

0-4 on the season and 0-2 on the road, the odds makers think the Lions gets pounded again.

Chicago Bears -3
Atlanta Falcons +3
Total 43.5
Odds makers predicted score: Bears 23 Falcons 20

The Bears have won back-to-back games and the odds makers think it will be three straight, but they aren’t overly convinced against a surprising Falcons team.

Miami Dolphins +3
Houston Texans -3
Total 44.5
Odds makers predicted score: Dolphins 21 Texans 24

Unlike the other winless teams, the books do have the Texans breaking through this week.

St Louis Rams +13
Washington Redskins -13
Total 44
Odds makers predicted score: Rams 15 Redskins 28

0-4 on the season and 0-2 on the road against a 4-1 Redskins team means a double digit massacre in the eyes of the odds makers.

Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5
Denver Broncos -3.5
Total 48.5
Odds makers predicted score: Jags 23 Broncos 26

The books like the Broncos to continue to escape at home with another close win.

Philadelphia Eagles -5
San Francisco 49ers +5
Total 42.5
Odds makers predicted score: Eagles 24 49ers 19

Philly is 0-2 on the road this season with the same overall record as the 49ers, but the books feel the Eagles are the better team and will prove it.

Dallas Cowboys -5
Arizona Cardinals +5
Total 50
Odds makers predicted score: Cowboys 28 Cards 23

The odds makers like the Cowboys in the highest scoring game of the week.

Green Bay Packers +2
Seattle Seahawks -2
Total 46
Odds makers predicted score: Packers 22 Seahawks 24

Mike Holgren gets bragging rights over his former team with a narrow home win against the struggling Packers.

New England Patriots +5
San Diego Chargers -5
Total 44.5
Odds makers predicted score: Patriots 20 Chargers 25

This matchup has already lost its luster with both of these teams losing to the Dolphins over the last three weeks. With no Tom Brady, the books like San Diego at home in a bounce back spot.

Monday October 13, 2008

New York Giants -7.5
Cleveland Browns +7.5
Total 43
Odds makers predicted score: Giants 25 Browns 18

The Super Bowl champs are playing like it and odds makers feel the Giants will continue their assault on the league on Monday Night Football.
