Sunday, 10/28/2007

Cleveland Browns 25
St Louis Rams 21

Oddsmakers feel the Rams will be competitive here against a poor Browns defense, but ultimately, they have St. Louis still winless after this week.

Detroit Lions 20
Chicago Bears 25

Oddsmakers feel the Bears will get back-to-back wins for the first time all season this week. Detroit beat Chicago at home, but the oddsmakers feel the Lions are not the same team on the road.

Indianapolis Colts 26
Carolina Panthers 19

The books don’t even think a bye week will help Carolina here. The Colts remain unbeaten with a TD win.

New York Giants 29
Miami Dolphins 19

This game may be in a different country, but the oddsmakers have chalked up the same result for Miami.

Oakland Raiders 17
Tennessee Titans 24

The long cross country trip does not treat Oakland well according to the linesmen. Oakland does not have the offense to get the job done on the road.

Philadelphia Eagles 19
Minnesota Vikings 18

The books see this as the closest game this week, giving Philly the slight edge on the road. The books give the nod to Philly here because the Eagles are slightly more balanced on offense.

Pittsburgh Steelers 26
Cincinnati Bengals 22

Oddsmakers still feel the Steelers are the team to beat in the AFC North. They have them bouncing back on the road this week.

Buffalo Bills 17
New York Jets 20

This one can be chalked up as the boring bowl. Because Buffalo is winless in two tries on the road, the Jets get the edge.

Jacksonville Jaguars 14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17

The oddsmakers have made this one their lowest scoring game of the week. Expect a lot of defense to be played here. Oddsmakers stay true to form and favor the Bucs on their home turf.

New Orleans Saints 22
San Francisco 49ers 19

They like the Saints to rattle off their third straight win against a struggling 49ers team.

Washington Redskins 15
New England Patriots 32

Oddsmakers face the Pats with another huge spread after being beaten by them seven weeks in a row now. Could this be the one the oddsmakers finally break through with?

Monday, 10/29/2007

Green Bay Packers 19
Denver Broncos 22

Denver looked good enough at home last week to have the books favor them this week against the one-loss Packers.
