The Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts are getting set to lock horns on Sunday for a crucial tilt between a pair of 3-2 teams. Check out our NFL picks for the top props in this game that surely should not be missed!

Total Sacks by Both Teams Over/Under 3.5
The offensive line for the Colts this year has looked anything but flawless in spite of the fact that they have only given up five sacks on the season. The biggest problem that this team had was when DE Mario Williams was coming off of QB Peyton Manning’s weak side. Though this is a 3-4 scheme that the Redskins are running and not a 4-3, LB Brian Orakpo will be able to do the same sort of thing. We already know how strong the Indy pass rush has the ability of being, but the real difference might be the struggles of the Washington offensive line. QB Donovan McNabb has already been sacked 11 times this year, and we tend to think that that number is on the rise. There should be plenty of throwing the ball in this game, and if that’s the case, there will almost certainly be Over 3.5 sacks (+125 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Sunday Night Football.

Peyton Manning Over/Under 288.5 Passing Yards
Asking Manning to throw for at least 290 yards seems like a bit of a stretch, especially for a man that just had a relatively miserable game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. However, we must remember that the short passing game was the only thing that was working for the Philadelphia Eagles against this Washington secondary two weeks ago, and Manning is significantly better than QB Kevin Kolb. We also remember how QB Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans dropped a whole boatload of yards on this defense, over 400 of them to be more exact. It seems as though Manning, without any trust in his rushing game, will coordinate himself to be able to end up going Over 288.5 passing yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Ryan Torain Over/Under 70.5 Rushing Yards
This is really the only hope that the Redskins have of winning this game. This will act as a bit of a hedge bet as well, as Torain is likely to end up going past this number if Manning doesn’t go past his. There just aren’t any other backs of QB Donovan McNabb to turn around and hand the ball to. Torain hasn’t really proven that he is a solid runner yet, but you know that the Colts are going to probably struggle to stop him if he gets going. The former Arizona State Sun Devil can rumble the ball a ton of times in this game, and we fully expect him to do so. Getting 20+ carries isn’t out of the question for as long as the duel stays close. We aren’t so sure, but it seems logical for a team that is allowing over 100 yards per game on the ground that Torain goes Over 70.5 Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) in this battle against the Colts.

Week 6 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 6 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week six odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Making NFL picks this weekend is going to be awfully difficult for even the best of NFL fans this week, as there are a number of injuries to talk about and close call matchups that could go either way. As of Monday morning, there are only eight games that are on the board with a ton of other NFL spreads to still be released over the course of the week. As always, keep it tuned right here to Bankroll Sports for updated NFL week 6 lines and other odds throughout the weekend.

The notable news for Week 6 is that QB Ben Roethlisberger is back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Ben spent the first four games of the season on the shelf due to a suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger will have a relatively easy opponent to take on in Week 6, but the Cleveland Browns have proven to be a stingy team this year. Cleveland was originally getting 12 points in this game, which was hefty in spite of the fact that the Pittsburgh offense has really yet to prove that it has the ability to score that many points this year, but news really got worse over the course of the week for the Browns. QB Colt McCoy is going to be getting his first career start against one of the most vaunted defenses in the league, as both QB Seneca Wallace and QB Jake Delhomme are out. The Steelers are now laying 14 points in a very popular NFL pick for the week.

In what suddenly looks like it could be a very interesting clash in the NFC South, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the New Orleans Saints. The visitors are going to be favored in this game, but not by nearly as many points as one probably would have thought at the outset of the season. New Orleans has only played two road games this year and has failed to cover both of them. The Saints are coming off of a bad loss to the Arizona Cardinals, while the Bucs shocked the Cincinnati Bengals with a last second field goal at Paul Brown Stadium to move to 3-1. The winner of this game will be sitting near the top of the NFC South, depending on how the Atlanta Falcons do against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Saints are down to -4 after opening at -5 in this clash.

The game of the afternoon on Sunday is going to be at Gillette Stadium, where the New England Patriots, fresh off of their bye week, are going to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Both of these teams have looked good in recent weeks, as they each only have one loss to their names thus far on the season. These two met up at this venue in the postseason last year, with the Ravens bouncing New England out of the playoffs. QB Tom Brady no longer has WR Randy Moss to throw the ball to, as he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings during the bye. However, the oddsmakers still think that the Pats are the choice in this game, as pro football picks will have to be made against a 2.5 point spread.

On Sunday Night Football, the Washington Redskins, off of their overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers, will look to claim another scalp on the season when the Indianapolis Colts come to FedEx Field. Indy certainly hasn’t played well of late in spite of the fact that it is sitting in the middle of this dog pile at 3-2 in the AFC South. These teams might have identical records, but the men making the NFL lines aren’t so sure that they are really on a level playing field. The Colts are favored by three points on the road.

Monday Night Football will feature two more teams from that wacky AFC South, as the Tennessee Titans are three point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Sunshine State. Both teams are off of road victories that helped push them above the .500 mark for the season to date.

Week 7 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 7 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 7 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

With the face of the BCS Championship run already having taken a major turn last week when the Alabama Crimson Tide were defeated, Week 8 provides the potential to make NCAA football picks on that very same face changing once more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have the biggest challenge of the bunch, as they have to travel to Camp Randall to take on the Wisconsin Badgers. This is only the second road game of the season for a team that many think is a complete joke as the No. 1 team in the land. It could be a very short reign for Ohio State atop the polls. A night game in Camp Randall is never fun, especially when the Badgers quite possibly have the best team that they have put on the field in the Brett Bielema era. The oddsmakers aren’t quite sure Ohio State is a shoe in for this game either, as they only lined the Bucks at -4.

In the other very crucial tilt that will change everything in the BCS race, the Arkansas Razorbacks will try to end the perfect season for the Auburn Tigers. Auburn is another one of these teams that we aren’t so sure about, as it had to scratch and claw just to get past the lowly Kentucky Wildcats last week. Though this game is at Jordan Hare Stadium, a place where the Tigers already have big wins against the Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks this season, Arkansas clearly isn’t afraid to play the biggest teams in the land at home or on the road. Just look at last year’s near upset against the Florida Gators in the Swamp on Homecoming! Once again, it seems like an easy pick to take the higher rated Tigers, but the oddsmakers are showing some faith in the Razorbacks, lining them at just +4.

It feels like we shouldn’t be surprised to see that the Boise State Broncos are once again the biggest favorites on the weekend. They have to travel to play the San Jose State Spartans, a squad that just can’t figure out how to get out of its own way. Needless to say, these two teams are on totally different platforms right now, and the 40 point NCAA football spreads suggest just that in this game. Anything less than a very comfortable romp would cost Boise State big time in the run towards the BCS National Championship.

In 14 games this weekend, the oddsmakers aren’t totally sure who to line as the favorites. In each of those games, college football picks have to made against lines of three points or less. Interestingly enough, one of those games involves the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Though we don’t normally spend too much time worried about Sun Belt football, the Hilltoppers have still never won a game against an FBS opponent since becoming an FBS team. Now, they are two point home favorites against the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks to get the job done for the first time.

On the flip side of the coin, there are 11 games this weekend in which the NCAA football odds feature spreads of 20 points or more, including a number of games that involve traditional conference rivals.

Week 6 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 6 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Houston Texans
NFL Trends of Note
Kansas City is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 road games
The Texans are 6-2-2 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a winning record
Houston is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 played on grass

Series History
There have only been four meetings in this series, and three of the four have belonged to the road team both SU and ATS. The last clash of these AFC squads came in 2007, and the Texans rammed KC 20-3 as three point favorites. The only time a dog covered a game in this rivalry was in 2004, a 24-21 upset for the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium. The ‘totals’ have been level at two ‘overs’ and two ‘unders’ apiece.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Trends of Note
The Saints are 3-13 ATS in their L/16 against the NFC
New Orleans is 7-3-1 ATS in its L/11 played on grass
Tampa Bay is 6-1-1 ATS over the L/8 seasons in Week 6

Series History
The Saints had covered three straight in this divisional rivalry before last year’s 20-17 overtime victory for the Bucs at the Superdome which helped ruin the celebration of clinching the NFC for the hosts. The L/3 have all stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, though at least 37 points have gone on the scoreboard in the nine meetings since the end of the 2005 campaign. Tampa Bay went 5-1 ATS from ’05 through ’07.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Green Bay Packers
NFL Trends of Note
The Fins have covered four straight games on the road
Miami is a whopping 17-4 ATS in its L/21 road games against teams with a winning home record
The Packers 9-4-1 ATS in their L/14 overall

Series History
Every four years, these teams meet to do battle since divisional realignment. The Packers have covered back to back and have won two straight SU. The Dolphins haven’t won a game at Lambeau Field since 1994. The last meeting of these teams resulted in a 34-24 win for Green Bay in South Beach. There has only been one ‘under’ game since 1997 in this series, that coming in the last visit to Lambeau in November of 2002, a 24-10 Packers victory.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: San Diego Chargers @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
The Chargers have covered six straight games following an ATS defeat
San Diego has gone 5-1 ATS over the L/6 years in Week 6
The Rams are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 as pups of more than a field goal but less than double digits

Series History
The home team has won every game in this series in this decade, but this is probably a bit unfair due to the fact that the Rams were really good at the start of the decade and really terrible recently. Expect to see the fireworks flying in this one, as the home team has scored a whopping average of 41.0 points per game in the L/3. All three went past the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Ravens are 19-7-1 ATS in their L/27 on the road as underdogs
New England is 24-11-1 ATS in its L/36 following an SU victory of at least 14 points
The Pats are 23-7-1 ATS in their L/31 games played in the month of October

Series History
These two teams have had a heck of a history, especially in the last four years or so. Last season in the playoffs, the Ravens bounced New England 33-14 at Gillette Stadium. New England won the last two battles though, taking a 27-21 decision at home and a 27-24 victory in Baltimore. That ’07 meeting was particularly notable because it was the closest that the Patriots came to losing in that undefeated regular season, as the Ravens ‘D’ found a way to shut down the New England offense that was amongst one of the best in the league’s history. Baltimore is 3-1 ATS in its L/4, but the Pats had covered the previous three spreads.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Detroit Lions @ New York Giants
NFL Trends of Note
The Lions are 7-19 ATS in their L/26 played on field turf
The G-Men are 20-6-1 ATS in their L/27 played in the month of October
New York is winless ATS in its L/4 home games against teams with losing road records

Series History
These two teams haven’t met since 2007 when the Giants took out the Lions 16-10 in the Motor City. The road team has won every meeting in this series dating back to 1990, and the Lions haven’t won a game at home against New York since well back into the 1980s. As a result, the road team is 6-0 ATS since 1994 in this series, while the underdog won five of those games outright.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
NFL Trends of Note
The Seahawks are 4-9 ATS in their L/13 against NFC teams
Chicago is 2-12 ATS over the L/14 seasons in Week 6
The Bears are 5-2 ATS in the L/7 in this series dating back to 1990

Series History
In this decade, these two teams have each won a pair of games. The most notable win came in the ’06-’07 playoffs, when the Bears captured a 27-24 overtime victory in the Windy City. Seattle was a 9.5 point underdog that day, marking what was the second time in a row that the Hawks beat the number. Chicago captured the last duel at Qwest Field 25-19 as short favorites. The L/4 have all gone beyond the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Trends of Note
The Browns are 8-1 ATS in their L/9 against the AFC
Cleveland is 9-2 ATS in its L/11 played in the month of October
The Steelers are 7-2 ATS over the L/9 years in Week 6

Series History
These two teams absolutely despise each other. Cleveland stuck in front of both numbers last season, including a 13-6 upset at home as 9.5 point underdogs in December in a game that helped keep the black and gold out of the playoffs. Dating back to the last meeting in 2007, the Browns are 4-1 ATS against their arch rivals. The win last year marked the first victory in five seasons for Cleveland. The ‘over’ might be 6-1-1 ATS in the L/8 clashes in the Steel City, but the ‘under’ has come in three of the L/4 times these AFC North foes have met.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles
NFL Trends of Note
The Falcons are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 overall
Philly is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Eagles are 7-3-1 ATS over the L/11 seasons in Week 6 encounters

Series History
The Eagles have three wins in a row and seven out of eight in this series dating back to 1998. They have gone 7-2 ATS in their L/9 in this series. The favorite is 6-2 ATS over the L/8. In spite of the fact that the Eagles have averaged 24.1 points per game in this series since 2003, Atlanta’s woeful 11.4 points per game average has resulted in a 6-0-1 record for ‘under’ bettors in that stretch. This would be QB Michael Vick’s first meeting against his old team if he is able to play on Sunday.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:05 PM ET: Oakland Raiders @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Raiders are 8-17 ATS in their L/25 road games against teams with a losing home record
Oakland is 5-16 ATS in its L/21 after an ATS victory
The Niners are 7-1-3 ATS in their L/11 after an ATS defeat

Series History
These rivals meet every single year in the preseason, but they have only met twice in the regular season when the games are for keeps in this decade. In 2002, San Fran captured a 23-20 decision, while in 2006, the Niners won 34-20 at home. San Francisco covered both spreads, while the ‘total’ has been split. The preseason meeting this year resulted in a 28-24 win for the 49ers.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:05 PM ET: New York Jets @ Denver Broncos
NFL Trends of Note
The Jets are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 road games
New York is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 games against the AFC
Denver has gone 8-2 ATS over the L/10 in this series

Series History
The Jets have never loved playing against Denver, particularly at Mile High. Yes, they have a win there in 1999, but that was the only game that they won in this series there in the last two decades. The Broncos have a postseason win there as well in this stretch, a 23-10 win in the AFC Championship Game in 1999. New York hasn’t scored more than 25 points in a game in this series since the 1980s. Five of the L/7 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:15 PM ET: Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings
NFL Trends of Note
Dallas is 2-6-2 ATS over the L/10 years in Week 6
Dallas is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a losing record
The Vikes are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 home games

Series History
The favorite has covered eight straight games in this series, which is a good sign for the hosts on Sunday. The most recent meeting came in the playoffs last year, a 34-3 romp for the Vikes at home. Dallas had won the previous two meetings both SU and ATS, but the Vikes owned the previous four, including a win in the 2000 playoffs. Six of the L/8 have gone past the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 8:20 PM ET: Indianapolis Colts @ Washington Redskins
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 7-1-1 ATS in their L/9 against teams with a winning record
Indy is 11-4-1 ATS in its L/16 road games
Washington is 6-1-3 ATS in its L/10 played on grass

Series History
These teams have only met seven times in the L/20 years. Washington dominated the NFL odds from 1994 to 2002, as it covered four straight against the Colts. The most recent meeting in 2006 resulted in a 36-22 win for QB Peyton Manning’s crew at the old RCA Dome. This is the first meeting of these teams in Landover since 2002, where the Colts haven’t won in well over two decades.

Monday, October 18th, 8:30 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
NFL Trends of Note
Tennessee is 1-10 ATS in its L/11 against teams with a winning record
The Titans are just 2-6 ATS in their L/8 against the AFC South
Jacksonville is only 2-6 ATS in its L/8 appearances on Monday Night Football

Series History
The home team is 7-3 ATS since 2005 in this series. However, only six of those games have actually been won SU. Last year, the home team took both meetings both SU and ATS with some major romps. The Titans won 30-13 at LP Field, while the Jags won 37-17 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. The ‘under’ has cashed in three of the previous four meetings, but all five clashes in 2005 and 2006, including the postseason tussle, went ‘over’ the ‘total’.

Week 7 college football betting is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 7 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other this week.

Wednesday, October 13th: UCF Knights @ Marshall Thundering Herd
NCAA Football Trends of Note
UCF is 9-1 ATS in its L/10 road games
The Knights are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 overall
Marshall is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 played on Wednesday

Series History
These two teams came over to Conference USA together from the MAC, so there is a bit of a history there. UCF has won all five meetings since 2005 but didn’t beat the Herd before that in three previous clashes. The Marshall cover last year in a 21-20 defeat marked the first time that it had covered a game in this series since 2003. All-time, the Knights are 6-2 ATS and 5-3 SU. The underdog has covered seven of the eight spreads, while ‘under’ has cashed in six of the eight.

Thursday, October 14th: Kansas State Wildcats @ Kansas Jayhawks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
KSU is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 played in the Big XII
Kansas is 1-8 ATS in its L/9 conference games
Kansas is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 played on an artificial surface

Series History
Since 2003, it’s virtually been all home teams in this series. The hosts have won six of the L/7 outright and are also 6-1 ATS in that stretch. K-State took the Sunflower State Showdown last year 17-10 in Manhattan, but hasn’t won a game in Lawrence since a whopping 64-0 thumping in 2002 when a senior named Michael Bishop was at quarterback and leading this team towards the Big XII North title. ‘Overs’ and ‘unders’ have alternated in each of the L/10 in this series dating back to 2000.

Thursday, October 14th: South Florida Bulls @ West Virginia Mountaineers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 as double digit puts
WVU is 5-0 ATS in its L/5 against teams with a winning record
The Mountaineers are 3-7 ATS in their L/10 as favorites

Series History
For whatever reason, the Bulls just have the numbers of the Mountaineers in this series. In the L/4 meetings, USF is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS, including last season’s 30-19 victory at Raymond James Stadium. Even in Morgantown, the Bulls have a win to their credit, as their 24-19 win in 2006 as 21 point underdogs really helped propel the program to an elite status in the Big East. The previous four encounters had gone ‘under’ the ‘total’ before last season’s narrow ‘over’.

Friday, October 15th: Cincinnati Bearcats @ Louisville Cardinals
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bearcats at 2-8 ATS in their L/10 overall
Cincinnati is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 games played on Friday nights
Louisville is just 2-10 ATS in its L/12 played in the Big East

Series History
Since these two teams have come to the Big East, it feels like this series belongs to the Bearcats. Cincinnati is 3-1 ATS in the L/4, including a 41-10 thumping of the Redbirds last year in home. However, the road team has won six of the L/9 outright and is 7-2 ATS in those nine. Cincy won its last visit to Papa John’s Stadium, a 28-20 decision in 2008. Last season’s 41 points for the Bearcats marked the first time that they exceeded the 28 point mark against the ‘Ville since 2003.

Saturday, October 16th: Missouri Tigers @ Texas A&M Aggies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tigers are just 2-10 ATS in their L/12 following an ATS victory
The Aggies are 2-6-1 ATS in their L/9 following an SU loss
Texas A&M has failed to cover seven straight neutral site games

Series History
These two teams haven’t met since 2007, a 40-26 win for the ‘Zou in Columbia. The Aggies covered both that spread at +19.5 and as short one point favorites the year before at home in a 25-19 victory. These two teams don’t always play the closest of games, including a 73-0 blowout for A&M in 1993. Three of the L/4 have exceeded the ‘total’, most of which have done so by a relatively comfortable margin.

Saturday, October 16th: NC State Wolfpack @ East Carolina Pirates
NCAA Football Trends of Note
NC State has covered four straight as favorites
The Wolfpack are 8-0-1 ATS in their L/9 after holding their previous foe to less than 20 points
East Carolina has failed to cover six straight against the ACC

Series History
These teams have met four times since 2004, and the series has largely belonged to the Wolfpack. They are 3-1 SU and ATS in those four games. In a relatively unusual twist though, it is the ACC team that has been the underdog quite a bit lately. NC State was a pup in 2008’s 30-24 overtime win at home and a six point dog in a 34-20 win in its most recent visit to ECU.

Saturday, October 16th: Illinois Fighting Illini @ Michigan State Spartans
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Illinois is 6-14 ATS in its L/20 games played on natural grass
Sparty is only 3-9 ATS in its L/12 against teams with a winning record
The Illini are only 1-7 ATS in the L/8 meetings of these rivals

Series History
Needless to say, it’s been mostly one way traffic for Michigan State. Save one dud in 2006, the Spartans just haven’t lost and usually haven’t been challenged by the Illini since the 1990s. The L/5 trips to Champaign resulted in double digit victories and an average margin of victory of 23.8 points per game. However, in the last meeting in East Lansing, the Illini were 25 point underdogs and came away with a 23-20 outright victory in one of the more shocking results in the history of this rivalry.

Saturday, October 16th: Boston College Eagles @ Florida State Seminoles
NCAA Football Trends of Note
BC is winless in its L/9 games ATS overall
Boston College is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 played on grass
The Noles have covered six of their L/7 overall

Series History
This series only dates back to 2005, but it has had plenty of upsets to speak of. BC won last year’s meeting 28-21 in Chestnut Hill and captured a 27-17 ‘W’ at Doak Campbell Stadium in 2008. Here’s a fun fact: Boston College is the only team in the ACC that the Seminoles have never beaten at home. Last year’s win for the Eagles was the first time that a home team had ever won a game in this series, something that Florida State hopes won’t rear its ugly head again on Saturday.

Saturday, October 16th: Western Michigan Broncos @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Western Michigan is 5-15 ATS in its L/20 overall
The Broncos are 3-9 ATS in their L/12 on the road
Notre Dame is just 16-35-1 ATS in its L/52 played in South Bend

Series History
First meeting

Saturday, October 16th: Iowa Hawkeyes @ Michigan Wolverines
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Hawkeyes are 12-2 ATS in their L/14 road games
Iowa is 13-4 ATS in its L/17 against teams with a winning record
Michigan is just 4-17 ATS in its L/21 played in the Big Ten

Series History
Iowa finally broke a three game skid to the Wolverines last year at home in a 30-28 victory, but it certainly didn’t come easily. The underdog is 8-1 ATS in the L/9 meetings, and several of those have pulled off outright upsets. One of those outright upsets came in 2002, when Iowa posted a 34-9 win in the Big House against Michigan. For proof that that is rare in this series, that is the only time that a team scored more than 30 points in this series dating back into the early 1990s.

Saturday, October 16th: California Golden Bears @ USC Trojans
NCAA Football Trends of Note
USC is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 played on grass
The Trojans are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 home games
The men of Troy are 4-11 ATS in their L/15 played in the Pac-10

Series History
USC has absolutely taken Cal behind the shed at times in this series, including last season in a 30-3 domination in Berkeley as 4.5 point favorites. The Trojans haven’t allowed the Bears to score a TD in this series in three years, though HC Jeff Tedford’s crew did score its only cover in this series since 2004 two years ago in a 17-3 defeat. Cal hasn’t won a game outright in this series since 2003 and hasn’t won one in regulation since 2000. That was also the last time that the Golden Bears went into LA and came away with an outright ‘W’. The L/6 have all stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Saturday, October 16th: Oklahoma State Cowboys @ Texas Tech Red Raiders
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Okie State is 7-1-1 ATS in its L/9 played in October
The Pokes are winless ATS in their L/6 as underdogs
Texas Tech is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 against teams with a winning record

Series History
Okie State’s recent ATS domination in this series (4-1 ATS since 2005) is relatively new, as the Red Raiders were the dominant ATS squad in the five meetings before that (5-0 ATS from 2000 to 2004). The home team has won eight straight, with the last road victory coming in 2001 in a 49-30 win for T-Tech in Stillwater. Texas Tech absolutely destroyed the Pokes here two years ago 56-20 with the powerful Air Raid assault. However, if you take that game away, the previous four meetings have all been decided by seven points or less. This will be the eighth straight meeting of these teams in which the ‘total’ has been posted at 60 or higher.

Saturday, October 16th: Texas Longhorns @ Nebraska Cornhuskers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Texas is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Huskers are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 against teams with a winning record
The pup is 6-2-1 ATS in the L/9 in this series

Series History
That includes the epic 13-12 showdown in last year’s Big XII Championship Game in which the Cornhuskers easily covered the 14 point NCAA football betting line. They’ve now covered three straight in spite of the fact that Texas has won all three meetings. Nebraska’s last outright win in this saga came back in 1999, a 22-6 win in the Big XII Championship. The L/3 meetings have been decided by a total of six points. Seven of the L/8 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Saturday, October 16th: Arkansas Razorbacks @ Auburn Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Arkansas is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 played in October
The Hogs are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 overall
Auburn is only 3-8 ATS in its L/11 played in this month

Series History
The Razorbacks have won back to back games in this series in spite of the fact that they were underdogs in both battles. The road team had won five straight and six out of seven before the 44-23 decision in Fayetteville for the Hogs last year. Auburn’s last win in this series at home was way back in 2004, a 38-20 win to cover the 13.5 point spread. That was one of two covers for underdogs dating back to 2000.

Saturday, October 16th: BYU Cougars @ TCU Horned Frogs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
BYU is 2-9 ATS in its L/11 games played in October
The Horned Frogs are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a losing record
TCU is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 games played on grass

Series History
This will be the final meeting of these teams in Mountain West play, which dates back to 2005. The Horned Frogs have won and covered three straight, including destroying the Cougs 38-7 and 32-7 over the L/2 seasons. BYU’s last win game in 2007, a 27-22 win in Provo in which the visitors covered the seven point spread. Two straight have failed to reach the ‘total’ after the previous three had all exceeded it.

Saturday, October 16th: North Carolina Tar Heels @ Virginia Cavaliers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Cavvies are just 2-6 ATS in their L/8 played in conference
North Carolina has covered three straight and is 7-3 ATS in its L/11
The Tar Heels are just 1-11 ATS in their L/12 against UVA

Series History
There have been some awfully screwy results in this clash of ACC underlings, including last year’s 16-3 win in Chapel Hill for the Cavs as 12 point underdogs. Virginia won 16-13 in overtime the year before and 22-20 on Tobacco Road in 2007 as short pups as well. None might have been any stranger than a 7-5 win for North Carolina over UVA in 2005. In the L/5 meetings, the ‘total’ has gone 0-4-1.

Saturday, October 16th: South Carolina Gamecocks @ Kentucky Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Gamecocks are 2-5 ATS in their L/7 as favorites
Kentucky is 6-1 ATS in its L/7 against teams with a winning record
The Wildcats are just 1-4 ATS in their L/5 as underdogs

Series History
Kentucky has won a game in this series dating back to the beginning of the 2000s, but that could all be changing on Saturday. The Cats came close last year, losing 28-26 in Columbia as nine point underdogs. The Gamecocks had covered the previous four and seven of the previous nine NCAA football odds. Three straight have gone ‘over’ the ‘total’, though no game has exceeded 61 points this decade.

Saturday, October 16th: Ohio State Buckeyes @ Wisconsin Badgers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Buckeyes are 21-6 ATS in their L/27 road games
Ohio State is 6-1 ATS in its L/7 overall
The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the L/10 in this series

Series History
The Buckeyes have won and covered three straight in this series, including win 20-17 in a narrow escape in 2008 here at Camp Randall. Wisconsin does have plenty of wins to speak of against Ohio State, most notably a 24-13 win at the Horseshoe in 2004. This is almost always a low scoring series, as the 31 points scored by Ohio State in last year’s 31-13 win was the second most that any team had scored since 1999 in this series. Needless to say, the ‘under’ is 6-2 in the L/8 duels.

Saturday, October 16th: Iowa State Cyclones @ Oklahoma Sooners
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Iowa State is 5-1 ATS in its L/6 games as double digit road pups
The Cyclones are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played on grass
Oklahoma is 10-4-1 ATS in its L/15 games played in the Big XII

Series History
Iowa State has had 20 years to try to figure out how to beat the Sooners, and it still hasn’t happened. It did manage to do a nice job in the last meeting in 2007, a 17-7 win for a visiting OU team that came in as 30.5 point chalks. The total margin of victory over the previous three clashes was rather emphatic for the Sooners: 136-19. They covered all three spreads. Iowa State had covered five straight before OU entered its dominant stages in the late 90s.

Saturday, October 16th: Mississippi State Bulldogs @ Florida Gators
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Florida is 23-8 ATS in its L/31 against teams with a winning record
The blue and orange are 19-9 ATS in their L/28 overall
The Gators are 27-13 ATS in their L/40 played on grass

Series History
Mississippi State is still living off of wins against the Gators in 1992, 2000, and 2004 in Starkville. The last meeting of these rivals came last season, a 29-19 win for UF in which the Bulldogs easily covered the 23 point spread. In fact, Florida has only covered one spread since 1991 against MSU, a 52-0 romp in the Swamp in 2001. The win last year for the Gators was the first time a road team won a game in this series since the 1980s.

Saturday, October 16th: Baylor Bears @ Colorado Buffaloes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bears have covered four straight as favorites of a field goal or less
Baylor is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 as a favorite
The Buffs are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 as pups of a field goal or less

Series History
This suddenly meaningful Big XII duel has certainly been road team friendly in the 1990s and 2000s. Roadies have five wins in nine games outright and are 6-3 ATS in that stretch as well. Colorado covered the last clash of these foes in 2007, a 43-23 decision as eight point chalks in Waco. Baylor was shut out both in 1999 and 2002 in this series, but since that point, all three meetings have absolutely flown past the ‘total’.

Saturday, October 16th: Ole Miss Rebels @ Alabama Crimson Tide
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Ole Miss has covered seven straight as road underdogs
The Rebels are 22-6 ATS in their L/28 as double digit pups
The Tide have covered five straight at Bryant Denny Stadium

Series History
The Tide have rolled to six straight victories in this series SU, but that dominance hasn’t translated over to victories against the college football betting lines as well. Ole Miss had covered four straight before the 22-3 beating last year in Oxford, a game that was really supposed to put the Rebs on the map once and for all. Back to back meetings have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’, and no game has exceeded 51 points since 2003.

Saturday, October 16th: Oregon State Beavers @ Washington Huskies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Beavers are 35-14-2 ATS in their L/51 games played in October
Oregon State is 53-26-1 ATS in its L/80 after an SU win
Washington is just 28-58-2 ATS in its L/88 played in the Pac-10

Series History
If you thought that these long term trends were going against the Huskies, wait til you see how bad this series has been! Since 2004, Oregon State is a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS and has won all but two of those six meetings by double digits. Washington does have a win at home in at least relatively recent memory, but you have to go back to 2002 to find the last time that Seattle was happy when the Beavers came to town.

Saturday, October 16th: Nevada Wolf Pack @ Hawaii Warriors
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Nevada has covered six straight after posting a victory of at least 20 points
Hawaii is 5-1 ATS in its L/6 played in the WAC
The Warriors are 8-3 ATS in their L/11 played in the month of October

Series History
The home team had covered seven of the previous eight meetings in this WAC rivalry before the Warriors mounted a stellar cover as 29 point dogs last year in a 31-21 loss in Reno. The road team has only won once in this series this decade, that being a 28-26 victory for Hawaii in 2007, the year that it went to the BCS with QB Colt Brennan calling the shots. The Wolf Pack had covered three straight from 2005 until 2007, but since then, it has been Hawaii covering back to back. This is the tenth straight year that the ‘total’ in this series has been posted at 57 or higher, and the 74.5 is the highest posted ‘total’ of the entire 2010 NCAA football betting campaign.

The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings both have new weapons to be trying out at wide receiver this week. With both WR Randy Moss and WR Santonio Holmes in the fold for the first time, the oddsmakers might just be a step or two behind with the way that the NFL props are lined in this one. Check out our best NFL propositions for Monday Night Football props!

Will there be a score in the first 7 minutes of the game?
Don’t be shocked if Holmes and Moss try to get into the act early. We know that both of these defenses really have the ability to shine, but with so much emphasis coming on both rushing attacks, the passing games might be able to snare a cheap shot early on. Even just a 30-40 yard pass could set up a nice field goal opportunity in the first half of the first quarter. We’ll take our chances, regardless of who gets the ball first, that something special is going to happen early on to set up the first points of the game. Even though this one involves the Jets, a team that is typically impossible to bet “yes” with this prop, we have no hesitations in this one. Yes, there absolutely will be a score in the first 7:00 (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Will Brett Favre throw an interception?
This is like taking candy from a baby. There are just a million reasons why Favre will get picked off in this one and virtually none saying that he won’t. For starters, Favre has already tossed six picks this year and he looks like a man that is once again going to throw 20-25 on the season. He is also facing one of the best ball hawking secondaries in the league with a healthy DB Darrelle Revis in the lineup. The pressure up front is always incredibly immense, and if RB Adrian Peterson can’t get anything going, Favre is going to be forcing balls into traffic. There’s no way that he makes it through this game without making a crucial mistake. Go with Favre to throw an interception (-240 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Randy Moss Total Receptions Over/Under 4.5
Last week, we played this exact same prop against Moss when he was with the New England Patriots, but now, our tune is changing. The Vikings already know that an unhappy Randy Moss is a disgruntled Randy Moss. Fortunately, former HC Mike Tice’s idiotic “Randy Ratio” is gone, but the logic of “Get Randy the damn ball” is still in play. It seems like a foregone conclusion that the first play of the game will put the ball in No. 84’s hands, and we have a hard time thinking that, especially on the bright lights of Monday Night Football, that Moss isn’t coming up with a spectacular game now that he is with a team that wants him and badly needs him. It seems very likely that he goes Over 4.5 Receptions (+115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) in this battle against the Jets.

Mark Sanchez Over/Under 200.5 Passing Yards
The lack of confidence that the oddsmakers have in Sanchez in this one is a bit disturbing. HC Rex Ryan is building more and more confidence in his young signal caller with each week that he doesn’t turn the ball over like his predecessor. The front seven for Minnesota is one of the best in the NFL, and in spite of the fact that New York might try, try, and try again to force the ball on the ground through this purple defense, it probably won’t work all that much. At some point, the safeties and linebackers are going to have to be held with some play action passes, and with targets like Holmes, TE Dustin Keller, WR Braylon Edwards, and WR Jerricho Cotchery, we love “The Sanchise” and his chances on this one. Go with Sanchez Over 200.5 Passing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) versus the stout Minnesota front.

Week 5 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 5 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 ET: Atlanta Falcons @ Cleveland Browns
NFL Trends of Note
Atlanta is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 overall
Cleveland is 9-1 ATS in its L/10 in October
The Browns are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 played on grass

Series History
These teams have only met twice in Cleveland’s brief history, and the Browns have dominated. Cleveland stole a 17-13 victory at the Georgia Dome in 2006 and won 24-16 in 2002. Even in the one preseason tussle that these teams played in 2003, Cleveland took a 20-9 win. All three games have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’, while the Browns have covered all three NFL lines.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 following an SU win
The Ravens are 42-18-1 ATS in their L/61 as home favorites
Baltimore is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 as a home favorite of between 3.5 and 10 points

Series History
The Broncos are just 1-6-1 ATS in the L/8 meetings in this series. Baltimore won 30-7 last year in this fixture. The home team has won five straight dating back to 2002 and eight out of nine since 1994. Four straight and six out of seven have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’. The road team has only scored a grand total of 26 points in the L/4 meetings of these powerhouses, but the home team has only eclipsed 13 points once in the L/3.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: New York Giants @ Houston Texans
NFL Trends of Note
The Giants are 1-7 ATS in their L/8 played on grass
New York is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
Houston has gone 5-1-1 ATS in its L/7

Series History
The Texans have only been around long enough to face the Giants twice in their lives, and this is just the second trip to Reliant Stadium ever. The home team has won both meetings, but the Texans have dominated the ATS proceedings. Houston is 2-0 ATS, with both clashes coming as underdogs. The Giants won 14-10 in the one duel in the Meadowlands, while Houston won 16-14 at home. Obviously, both meetings stayed well ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Chicago Bears @ Carolina Panthers
NFL Trends of Note
The Bears are 2-7 ATS in their L/9 on grass
Carolina is 8-1 ATS in its L/9 against teams with winning records
The Bears are 4-2 ATS in their L/6

Series History
There have only been five clashes of these teams in Panthers history, including one meeting in the postseason. Carolina won that day 29-21 in the Windy City, and that was the only time a road team ever won a game in this series. The underdog has only failed to cover one spread, with that coming in 2005 in favor of the Bears. That also happens to be the only time since 1995 that the men from the Windy City have won a game against the Panthers.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: St. Louis Rams @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
The Rams are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 against teams with losing record
The Lions are just 5-13 ATS in their L/18 games played at Ford Field.
St. Louis has covered back to back in this series

Series History
The only win for the Rams last year came against these Lions at this venue. St. Louis captured a 17-10 decision. The meeting prior to that was also in favor of the Rams, a 41-34 win at the Edward Jones Dome. That was actually the only meeting in St. Louis since 1993, as the other five since that point were played in the Motor City.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Green Bay Packers @ Washington Redskins
NFL Trends of Note
Green Bay is 9-3-1 ATS in its L/13 overall
The Packers are 8-3-1 ATS in their L/12 on grass
The Redskins are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 played in Week 5

Series History
Since the mid 1980s, this series has just belonged to the Pack. Green Bay had gone 4-0 SU from 2001 to 2007, and the previous meeting before that was back in 1988. The Packers have only made one trek to our nation’s capitol in that stretch as well. Green Bay is 5-0-1 ATS since 1986 in this series. The ‘under’ has gone 5-1 in those six clashes. The ‘Skins were dropped 17-14 at Lambeau Field in the last encounter in 2007.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Bucs have covered three straight in this series
Cincinnati is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 overall
The Bengals are 8-3 ATS in their L/11 against teams with a winning record

Series History
The Bucs captured a 14-13 decision in 2006 at Raymond James Stadium, but the last trip to Cincinnati was also a grand one. Tampa Bay won 35-7 in its glory days in 2002. Five of the L/6 between these rivals have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, with the one exception being that 2002 clash. The losing team in this series hasn’t scored more than 16 points in a game since 1989.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a winning record
Indianapolis is 10-3 ATS in its L/13 played in October
Kansas City is just 2-7 ATS in its L/9 against the Colts

Series History
Kansas City’s only win in this series since the 1980s came in 2004 with a 45-35 victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Indy has held the Chiefs to just 18 total points in two meetings since that point in two games at the old RCA Dome. One of those games was a postseason clash in January 2007.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Buffalo Bills
NFL Trends of Note
Jacksonville is 4-12 ATS in its L/16 overall
Buffalo is 3-7 ATS in its L/10 played in Week 5
The Bills are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 played on turf

Series History
The Jaguars certainly love playing in Ralph Wilson Stadium, as this will always be the home of their first postseason win in 1996. Since that point though, the Bills have really done a nice job. Buffalo nearly won last year in the Sunshine State, dropping 18-15, but the fact that it covered the spread marked its sixth cover in its L/8 since that playoff defeat at home in ’96. The L/2 have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’ with ease.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:05 PM ET: New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Saints are just 2-9 ATS in their L/11 against NFC opponents
New Orleans is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 overall
The Cards are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 played in October

Series History
The Saints destroyed Arizona last year in the postseason 45-14 at home, marking the second straight win in the Superdome for them against the Redbirds. The Cards scored a 2004 win here in the desert by the count of 34-10, marking its only cover in this series since 1996. You have to go back into the 1980s to find the previous time in which they covered a spread at home against the men in black and gold. Three straight have eclipsed the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:15 PM ET: San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
The Bolts are 18-8 ATS in their L/26 games played in October
Oakland is winless over the L/4 seasons both SU and ATS in Week 5
The Raiders are 15-36 ATS in their L/51 home games

Series History
These two divisional foes hate each other, and for good reason. The silver and black haven’t won a game since 2003, a stretch of 12 straight games. The Raiders did cover both numbers last year, losing 24-16 on the road and 24-20 at home. The Chargers had covered seven of the previous eight and are now 11-3 ATS in their L/14 clashes overall. The Bolts are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 trips to Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:15 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Titans are 18-8 ATS in their L/26 as underdogs
Dallas has covered five of its L/6 following a bye week
The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their L/7 played in October

Series History
The Titans haven’t found their way to Victory Lane against the Cowboys since 2000 on Christmas Day, and the last time that they won a game in Dallas was in 1997. The boys from the Lone Star State smacked Tennessee around 45-14 in the last encounter at Adelphia Coliseum. The L/3 have eclipsed the ‘total’, but that includes a pair of preseason tussles.

Sunday, October 10th, 8:20 PM ET: Philadelphia Eagles @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Eagles are 11-4 ATS in their L/15 as road underdogs
Philly is 0-5 ATS in its L/5 against the NFC
San Fran is 5-1-1 ATS in its L/7 after an SU defeat

Series History
It’s been Philly, Philly, and more Philly in this series of late, as the Eagles have captured four straight against the Niners both SU and ATS, including a 27-13 decision last December in the City of Brotherly Love. The Niners haven’t won a home game either SU or ATS against Philadelphia since 2001. Last year’s ‘under’ clash marked the first time a game in this series stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’ since 2001, a stretch of five straight ‘overs’.

Monday, October 11th, 8:30 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Jets are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 played in October
New York is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 overall
The Vikes are just 0-5 ATS in the regular season against the Jets since 1994

Series History
As you can see, this series has been all one way traffic for the men in green. The last encounter came in 2006, with the Jets topping the Vikes 26-13 at the Metrodome. Minnesota isn’t even winning games in this series SU when they’re favored, just like in 2006. Though two of the L/3 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, the previous three had all gone ‘over’. The Vikes have never scored more than 21 points in a game against the Jets.
