Sunday October 19, 2008

Tennessee Titans -8½
Kansas City Chiefs +8½
Total 35
Odds makers predicted score:Titans 22 Chiefs 13

A date with lowly K.C. has the books feeling rather confident that Tennessee gets to 6-0.

San Diego Chargers +1
Buffalo Bills -1
Total 44.5
Odds makers predicted score: Chargers 22 Bills 23

Odds makers see this one as the closest contest of the week with Buffalo getting the slight edge at home.

Pittsburgh Steelers -9½
Cincinnati Bengals +9½
Total 34.5
Odds makers predicted score: Steelers 22 Bengals 12

A date with the 4-1 Steelers sends Cincy to 0-7.

Baltimore Ravens +3
Miami Dolphins -3
Total 36.5
Odds makers predicted score: Ravens 17 Dolphins 20

Odds makers have the Phins bouncing back at home this week against a Ravens team which is winless on the road.

Minnesota Vikings +3
Chicago Bears -3
Total 38
Odds makers predicted score: Vikings 18 Bears 21

The books like Chicago to bounce back at home against a Vikings team which has struggled on the road.

New Orleans Saints +3
Carolina Panthers -3
Total 44.5
Odds makers predicted score: Saints 21 Panthers 24

New Orleans is 0-2 on the road and Carolina is 3-0 at home. The odds makers are giving the edge to the home team.

San Francisco 49ers +10½
New York Giants -10½
Total 46
Odds makers predicted score: 49ers 18 Giants 28

Off an embarrassing double digit loss on Monday Night Football, Vegas feels the Giants will come storming back this week.

Detroit Lions +9½
Houston Texans -9½
Total 46
Odds makers predicted score: Lions 18 Texans 28

The Texans are nearly a double digit favorite despite owning just 1 win this season. This tells you what the odds makers think about the winless Lions.

New York Jets -3
Oakland Raiders +3
Total 41
Odds makers predicted score: Jets 22 Raiders 19

The Raiders are in a state of disarray and that does not translate into a win this week in the eyes of your books.

Cleveland Browns +7½
Washington Redskins -7½
Total 41.5
Odds makers predicted score: Browns 17 Redskins 24

The books are not sold on the Browns off last Monday night’s win and have installed them as 7.5-point dogs against a Redskins team which lost to lowly St. Louis.

Indianapolis Colts -1½
Green Bay Packers +1½
Total 47
Odds makers predicted score: Colts 24 Packers 23

Green Bay got back in the win column last week, but Indy’s 2-0 road record has the sportsbooks leaning toward the road team.

Seattle Seahawks +10½
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -10½
Total 38
Odds makers predicted score: Seahawks 14 Bucs 24

Tampa Bay is rarely this big of a favorite, but Seattle has been dominated on the road this season.

Monday October 20, 2008

Denver Broncos +3
New England Patriots -3
Total 48
Odds makers predicted score: Broncos 22 Patriots 25

Denver is 4-2 this season, but this is the first time odds makers have not thought they would win. The books are likely looking at last week’s performance and Denver’s performance at Kansas City earlier this season.
