The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 7 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial Thursday Night Football matchup.

Zach Miller Receptions Over/Under 2.5: It’s not often that we really like to use fantasy football stats to tell us how to make our bets, but in this case, we’re going to make an exception. Miller has had eight targets over the course of the last three weeks, and he has caught all eight passes. The likelihood of that continuing really is slim to none, especially against a San Francisco defense that ranks eighth in the entire NFL at defending the tight end. Miller is really looked at in short yardage and goal to go situations, but there don’t figure to be all that many of those when push comes to shove. As a result, we have to think about going with Miller’s ‘under’ as a sharp play. Zach Miller Receptions Under 2.5 (-115)

Will Alex Smith Throw an Interception?: Smith was picked off three times last week, and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh did as much as admit the fact that some plays were called that were asking Smith to do more than what he really should have been comfortable doing. This is a team that prides itself on taking care of the ball and playing good defense, and though the sledding could be tough on the ground and Smith is going to have to throw the ball some, we don’t think that he is going to be in a position where he ends up getting picked off more often than not in this game. Remember that Smith only threw five interceptions, and three of his four picks this year came last week. It’s ridiculous that Smith is an underdog to not throw an interception. Alex Smith to Not Throw an Interception (+130)

Will Vernon Davis Score a Touchdown?: This is another one of these percentage props that we love to play, though we know that more often than not, we are going to end up losing them. When they win, they win big. Davis hasn’t had a touchdown now in three straight games, and that’s after getting four trips to the end zone in his first three games this year. However, his targets aren’t down, his receptions are only down a hair, and those are largely in games that have been over by halftime that haven’t required all that many passes coming off of the arm of QB Alex Smith. Davis is still going to be a huge threat against a defense that is aggressive, and not only do we like his chances of getting some love near the red zone, but he could break a long one as well. Vernon Davis to Score a Touchdown +130

David Akers Over/Under 7.5 Points: Akers has consistently been one of the best kickers in the NFL over the course of the last several years, though over the course of the last few weeks he has struggled, making just 4-of-8 attempts. Still, the 49ers are a team that play it close to the vest, and that means quite a few field goal attempts. We’d like to think that tonight, against a sound Seattle defense, that will be the case once again when push comes to shove. Take Akers to get to at least eight points in this one, as that means that the 49ers will get to at least 20 points. David Akers Over 7.5 Points (-130)

Several players have started off the 2012 NFL schedule in fine form, and they are going to be the favorites on the odds to win the MVP award in the NFL. Don’t miss our NFL MVP odds, as we take a look at the odds near the halfway point of the season.

It’s tough to think that there really isn’t a bona fide favorite on the odds to win the MVP. At the moment, the man getting the nod is the Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan (Favorite To Win NFL MVP: 5 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook). Matty Ice is the best player on what is statistically the best team in the NFL. He has a great set of receivers, and all three of TE Tony Gonzalez, WR Roddy White, and WR Julio Jones might all get to 1,000 yards by the end of the campaign. Ryan, as a result, has some big time stats. The Boston College product has thrown for 1,756 yards, putting him on a clip for 4,683 yards this year. He also has 14 TDs against just six picks. That leaves him fourth in the league in passing yards, tied for second in touchdowns, and fifth in quarterback rating. We aren’t so sure that Matty Ice is going to be able to stay here for the whole year, but there is no denying that he is the favorite at the moment.

We still can’t help but wonder if the man that is going to end up winning the MVP Award this year is New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees (2012 MVP Odds: 12 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook). Brees has a big strike against him, knowing that he is on a team that lost its first four games of the year. But how dramatic would it be to see Brees lead his team all the way back to the playoffs and become the second team ever to come from 0-4 to get into the second season. Brees has thrown for 14 TDs, tied with Ryan and others, and he is on a clip to throw for 5,504 yards, which would break the record for the most yards in a single season that he set last year. This is a great price on a man that clearly would be the MVP of the league if he were to get his team back into the push for the playoffs this year.

With so many different options this year, there is a real chance that The Field (Odds To Win 2012 MVP: 5 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook) ends up taking the MVP Award. There are a lot of fantastic options here on this list, but there are a bunch that aren’t as well. Both of the best defensive players in the league at the moment, DE JJ Watt of the Houston Texans and LB Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers. The league’s leading rusher, RB Jamaal Charles isn’t on this MVP list, nor is the league’s leading receiver, WR AJ Green. Those are a heck of a lot of players that could all legitimately win the MVP Award this year, though it is going to take a whole heck of a lot for that to happen. We do think that in the end, one of the top quarterbacks in the league will end up winning this award, but at 5 to 1, there is a good enough chance for someone off the board to end up taking the MVP. We’d much rather have the field than someone like Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, or Peyton Manning, all of which are 5 to 1 as well.

The San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 6 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.

Will the First Score Be a Touchdown or Field Goal?: This is just some simple math. The Broncos have scored 16 touchdowns against seven field goals this year. San Diego has 13 touchdowns and 12 field goals. Now just do some quick math. That’s 29 touchdowns and 19 field goals. Considering how badly QB Peyton Manning has played against the Chargers in his career (more on that in a second), some of those touchdown drives for the Broncos very well could turn into field goal drives. All we need is the first one to be that way around 40% of the time, and we’re going to be winners. First Score a Field Goal or Safety (+160)

Peyton Manning Over/Under 285.5 Passing Yards: Manning has averaged 304.0 passing yards per game in his career against the Chargers over the course of seven games. He has completed just 60.8 percent of his passes against them though, and he has a woeful quarterback rating of just 72.5 against them. Remember that this isn’t nearly the same Manning that had all of those great receiving options in Indianapolis. Yes, this Peyton Manning has averaged 299.8 passing yards per game this year, but there is a reason that this number has been lined a tad lower than these numbers that you see. The Chargers rank No. 20 in the NFL is passing, but they should be able to hold Manning under this very, very lofty passing total for Manning, who would much rather keep the football on the ground. Peyton Manning Passing Yards Under 285.5 (-115)

Will Joel Dreessen Score a Touchdown?: Dreessen is a nice little story this year, and he does have three trips to the end zone in five games. However, one of those touchdowns came on a pass which was never even intended for him and ended up just more or less falling into his hands. Dreessen only has 11 catches this year, and he clearly isn’t a threat to score a touchdown from anywhere more than a dozen or so yards away from the end zone. The Chargers haven’t allowed much to opposing tight ends this year, including just a pair of touchdowns over the course of the first five games of the campaign. It seems a heck of a lot more likely that TE Jacob Tamme scores than Dreessen, and we think that this prop is overstated. Joel Dreessen Doesn’t Score a Touchdown (-180)

Philip Rivers Passing Yards Over/Under 285.5: Once again, this is a very high number against a secondary that has some real talent in it. Rivers has had luck in his career against the Broncos, and there is no doubt that he is going to be asked to put the ball in the air quite a bit again in this one. However, Rivers has a running game at his disposal now with RB Ryan Mathews being back in the lineup and trusted with the football, and that is going to take some of the pressure off indeed. Rivers might come up near this number, but when push comes to shove, asking him to throw for over 286 yards would be averaging 4,500+ yards for a season. Rivers just isn’t going to be able to do that in all likelihood, especially knowing that he is averaging just 250.2 yards per game thus far on the campaign. Philip Rivers Passing Yards Under 285.5 (-115)

Week 7 of the college football schedule is out, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are looking at all of the best NCAA football odds and the college football betting lines on the board for what should be quite the interesting week on the gridiron.

Thursday and Friday night college football games haven’t exactly been stellar over the course of the last few weeks, and the showcase game this Thursday probably isn’t all that much of an exception. We all know that the Arizona State Sun Devils are going to blow the doors off of the Colorado Buffaloes even though the game is in Boulder. As it turns out, this is one of the biggest NCAA football point spreads of the weekend, as ASU is getting the nod by 23 points. Also on Thursday, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are laying 16.5 to the UTEP MIners, while the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are -3 against the Troy Trojans on the road.

Friday features one standalone game on the Week 7 schedule, pitting the Central Michigan Chippewas against the Navy Midshipmen. This isn’t exactly the sexiest game in the world, as both of these teams are 2-3, and there is a real possibility that neither will ultimately make it to a bowl game this year. However, it’s a game no less, and it could be an interesting one for fans of the ground game. Central Michigan is laying 2.5 at home against the Middies.

This past Saturday was one for upsets, and this week really might not be all that much of an exception with so many massive teams going on the road. In fact, teams that are ranked 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 17, 18, and 22 are all on the road, and that doesn’t include the fact that the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners — Nos. 15 and 13 respectively — are playing each other on a neutral field.

Yes, this week is the annual Red River Rivalry game in Dallas, and it should stay true to form as one of the most important games of the year. These two teams absolutely despise each other, and they know that the loser of this one may as well forget about the rest of the year, as the team will end up in the Alamo Bowl or something of the sorts, and not the significantly more illustrious Fiesta Bowl or better. Oklahoma is perceived to be the better of these two teams right now, getting the nod as three-point favorites, but there aren’t many that would be all that surprised if the Longhorns turned out to be the better of the two teams as well.

The top ranked team in the land, the Alabama Crimson Tide are back in action off of their bye week, and they are one of these very rare teams that are going on the road and are favored by a ton. There’s no reason to think that Alabama won’t roll to a victory of at least 21.5-points no matter who they are playing or where they are playing. The fact of the matter is that this is going to be a rude wakeup call for the Missouri Tigers at home. The ‘Zou has already been beaten both by the Georgia Bulldogs and the Vanderbilt Commodores at home, and now, it is about to get its first taste of the definition of big boy football when the Crimson Tide come to town.

Meanwhile, the Florida Gators, who chime in at No. 4 in the land after their upset of the LSU Tigers, are only laying 7.5 to those aforementioned Commodores in a game that is a brutal potential trap for the men in orange and blue. Not only is Florida coming off of that big win at home, but this one is on the road, and it comes on the heels of the two biggest games of the year against the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Georgia Bulldogs.

Florida isn’t nearly the only road team that could be on upset alert this week, as we have already discussed. The USC Trojans are laying 12.5 to the Washington Huskies at CenturyLink Field in an emotional game against former OC Steve Sarkisian. The West Virginia Mountaineers and their Heisman Trophy frontrunner, QB Geno Smith, are -5 on the road against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Kansas State Wildcats are definitely on upset alert at -7 against the Iowa State Cyclones. Also, in one of the more intriguing games of the day, the Texas A&M Aggies are -8 on the road against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. This is a battle of Top 25 teams that are hoping to crack the BCS this year, and ironically, it is La Tech that has the better shot of doing so. This might be the last game this year in which the Bulldogs are underdogs, and winning this one and running through the WAC sets up the chance for them to get into the BCS as a Top 12 team in the rankings.

There are a few ranked teams that are going to be on the road that are expected to lose, though. We’ll start with the Oregon State Beavers, who are surging like no other team in America this year. They opened up as three-point underdogs against the BYU Cougars in Provo, and that came before the news that QB Sean Mannion was going to miss the game injured. That leaves Head Coach Mike Riley and the gang in a world of hurt. At the moment, the game is still off the board, but when it comes back, we fully expect to see BYU favored by at least a touchdown.

Another team in the Pac-12, the Stanford Cardinal, are getting 8.5 from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend. Stanford hopes that it has the answers for a Notre Dame defense that just is not allowing touchdown under seemingly any circumstance. QB Josh Nunes doesn’t figure to have all that much success against this unit, which is why he and his Cardinal are such sizeable underdogs on Saturday afternoon.

But of course, the cream of the crop this week is back in the SEC. The South Carolina Gamecocks are on the road against the LSU Tigers in one of the most important games of the year in the conference. The Tigers are coming off of their loss to another SEC East foe from Gainesville, and they know that this is now absolutely a must-win game to stay alive in the SEC West and the BCS National Championship race. South Carolina knows that this is a chance to prove once and for all, that it can legitimately challenge the Alabama Crimson Tide at the top of the SEC this year, but this is the continuation of just a brutal schedule. South Carolina passed the first test at home against the Georgia Bulldogs, but now it gets LSU on the road and Florida on the road in back to back weeks. The Bayou Bengals are -3 at the open, and this is expected to be one heck of a close game.

This week, there are a substantial number of teams that are favored by at least 20 points, but none are favored by more than the Florida State Seminoles are against the Boston College Eagles. FSU is favored by 28 coming off of its shocking loss to the NC State Wolfpack. The garnet and gold are one of the eight teams this week that are getting the nod by at least three TDs, but none are expected more to win — or, frankly need more to win by a huge margin — than does Florida State back in front of its hometown crowd for the first time in three weeks.

On the other side of the coin, there are plenty of games this week in which the NCAA football point spread is a field goal or less. There is one game on Thursday, one on Friday, and another 14 on Saturday in whcih the spread is 3.5 or fewer, and that is proving that once again, this should be a fittingly close week of college football betting action.

The New York Jets and Houston Texans are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 5 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.

Longest Touchdown Over/Under 40.5 Yards: The Jets sure as heck aren’t driving down the field and scoring all that many touchdowns in this game, so if they are going to get the job done and get into the end zone, it is going to come from quite a ways out. Houston meanwhile, has all of the cards in its control on Monday, knowing that it can spread the field and attack this Jets secondary, which is severely depleted. We saw Head Coach Gary Kubiak go after DB Champ Bailey and DB Tracy Porter of the Denver Broncos time and time again two weeks ago, and that might be the game plan again in this one. Look for QB Matt Schaub to find one of his streaking receivers down the field at some point for a long score. We think there will be a couple of these big ones that hit the board when push comes to shove on Monday. Longest Touchdown Over 40.5 Yards (-115)

Arian Foster Total Rushing Yards Over/Under 103.5: We might be certifiably insane to go against Foster in a game like this one, but we think that Houston is going to air it out a bit more. RB Ben Tate is likely out of the fold, and he is certainly in the doghouse, but Kubiak wants to keep Foster fresh, meaning he probably won’t touch the ball more than 25 times as he has done at times this year. The problem for the New York defense has actually been stopping the run this year, as it has set up the secondary to get crushed for long passes. Still, Foster isn’t going to rush for a number this big more often than not in this type of a spot, especially in a game where Houston might prove to be a tad sluggish offensively. Arian Foster Rushing Yards Under 103.5 (-115)

Mark Sanchez Total Passing Yards Over/Under 205.5: The Houston secondary is holding teams down to just 182.8 passing yards per game this year, and though there haven’t been a lot of the big time quarterbacks on the schedule yet, it isn’t like Sanchez is all that much better than Ryan Tannehill or Blaine Gabbert. The man they call “The Sanchise” has thrown for 103, 306, and 138 yards over the course of the last three weeks, and in spite of the fact that Head Coach Rex Ryan is sticking with the man from USC as his quarterback, the pressure has to be mounting that the time is near for QB Tim Tebow to get the call. The truth of the matter is that we don’t think Sanchez makes it through the third quarter before getting replaced, and especially in a game where he won’t have WR Santonio Holmes, WR Stephen Hill, or TE Dustin Keller. Mark Sanchez Under 205.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Shonn Greene Rushing Yards Over/Under 55.5: Greene almost certainly has to get 15-20 carries in this game, unless he is replaced by RB Bilal Powell at some point. The problem that we see with Greene though, is that he is in a time share and has lost control of that time split at this point. Sure, while the Jets are still in this game and not playing catch up, it’ll be Greene that gets the majority of the time. However, even with 20 carries, getting 55 yards against this Houston defense isn’t a guarantee. We’re not taking our chances. Too many bad things could happen on Monday to Greene.

Here at Bankroll Sports, we aren’t just interested in the gambling world, but the fantasy football world as well. Join us for our Week 5 fantasy football picks, including a heck of a lot of sleepers that might be worth playing throughout the weekend.

Rueben Randle, New York Giants vs. Cleveland Browns: Once again, we know that the passing yards have to be going somewhere from QB Eli Manning, and knowing that WR Victor Cruz is going to draw all of the attention might let the rookie out of LSU finally take some major steps in the right direction for the first time in his career. Randle is one of these players, much like Ramses Barden did two weeks ago, that can come out of absolutely nowhere this week and put together eight catches, 100 yards, and a score very easily against a Cleveland seconday that ranks 30th in the NFL against opposing wide receivers.

Nick Novak, San Diego Chargers vs. New Orleans Saints: It’s not often that we take the time to talk about kickers here with our fantasy football talk, but this is a case where you can probably get a guy off of the waiver wire in your fantasy football league that can really step it up and make some big time kicks for you. Novak is kicking in a dome this week for the Chargers, a team that routinely does find ways to put some points on the board, in a game that very well could be a shootout. The Bolts have had troubles pounding the ball into the end zone at times, and they are going against a New Orleans defense that ranks 31st in the NFL against opposing kickers. Only once this year did they hold a kicker under 10 fantasy points. Novak might be a sneaky play, just as K Ryan Succop was a few weeks ago for the Chiefs in this same situation.

Kendall Hunter, San Francisco 49ers vs. Buffalo Bills: By all accounts, this week’s game for the Niners against Buffalo should be a blowout, just like last week’s 34-0 win over the Jets turned out to be. Hunter is going against a ‘D’ that just allowed not just one, but two different men to rush for over 100 yards against it, and we just don’t see how that type of play is going to change. Many are in a bye week pinch this week with running backs, and this could be the perfect time to slot in Hunter, who we know is going to get his 15-20 snaps on the field regardless of whether the game is a blowout or not.

Justin Forsett, Houston Texans vs. New York Jets: The same type of thing here. If you’re in a bye week pinch, Forsett might be a sneaky man to plug in. RB Arian Foster isn’t going to see his carries go up with RB Ben Tate out of the fold, as Head Coach Gary Kubiak wants to really keep his carries down. That means that it will be Forsett who gets to carry the ball behind this massive offensive line that is just provide massive holes that mack trucks could run through. If the Texans get ahead, as is expected, Forsett might get even more than the 6-8 carries that he would figure to get in a close game. A touchdown isn’t out of the question.

Matt Hasselbeck, Tennessee Titans vs. Minnesota Vikings: Hasselbeck was a wreck last week when he came off of the bench against the Houston Texans, but the truth of the matter is that Houston has one of the best defenses in the league. QB Jake Locker has already been ruled out for this week, and that leaves the vet to take on the Vikes in a much different situation. This game is in a dome, and it comes against a team that has a history of having a terrible secondary. We’re afraid that Hasselbeck might get killed in the pocket, getting sacked by a defense that could be all over the place. It might be an ugly day that looks a lot like a prototypical Jake Plummer day where he throws for 350 yards, 2 TDs, and 3 picks, but if you’re in a bye week pinch, that would translate out to 18 points, and that’s a heck of a respectable day.

Other Fantasy Football Sleeper Options For Week 5

Bernard Pierce, Baltimore Ravens: If the Chiefs get blown away in this game, something that is a distinct possibility, Pierce could get himself 10-12 carries in this game against a terrible defense.

Minnesota Vikings D/ST: DE Jared Allen is due for a 3+ sack day, and as we saw last week, you never know when WR Percy Harvin is going to return a kick 105 yards for a touchdown.

Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings: Rudolph is likely to get in the end zone this week against a Tennessee defense that has allowed just a slew of touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year.

Harry Douglas, Atlanta Falcons: It’s a deep flex play, but Douglas as a third receiver might be in for a huge day against a Washington defense that has had problems guarding slot receivers this year.

Jacob Tamme, Denver Broncos: Tamme has had two games this year with at least five catches, and New England has given up three TDs to tight ends in the last two weeks combined. Joel Dreessen might also make a decent start if you’re in a tight end pinch.

The Florida Gators and the LSU Tigers both have rich histories of late that include a number of appearances in the BCS National Championship Game. The Bayou Bengals might be contenders again this year, but we just don’t see the Gators being able to play that same role in spite of the fact that they are on the verge of being in the Top 10 in the nation. However, for LSU to be BCS bound once again, it is likely going to have to go into the Swamp and avoid the upset against a UF team that will be playing in one of its biggest games of the entire season. Our LSU vs. Florida picks are second to none here at Bankroll Sports, and we have our first look at this college football matchup in our Top 25 games of the 2012 season.

LSU Tigers @ Florida Gators Picks & Info
LSU Tigers @ Florida Gators Date: Saturday, October 6th
LSU Tigers @ Florida Gators Location: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, FL
LSU Tigers @ Florida Gators Spread: LSU Tigers -2.5

Losing DB Tyrann Mathieu really is hurting the LSU defense, which really still is one of the best in the nation this year. The unit is still great, knowing that DE Sam Montgomery is an All-American, and he is joined by a heck of a lot of returning defensive linemen. This unit has absolutely crippled the Florida offense in recent years, especially last season when the unit just had zip going without QB John Brantley in the fold. The offense is going to be up in the air for sure with a true freshman in QB Zach Mettenberger under center, but the offensive line should be strong once again, and the backfield is just loaded. Expect to see a lot out of RB Spencer Ware, especially in this one, knowing that Head Coach Les Miles is going to want to take good care of the football against a normally very opportunistic defense.

The bottom line for Florida in this game is that QB Jeff Driskel (and maybe QB Jacoby Brissett) just has to do better than it did last year in this game. Missing RBs Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey won’t hurt all that much in relation to last year as the LSU defense was just too quick for them to use their speed to get to the outside. The question is going to be where that offense is coming from though, with so many pieces to the puzzle already gone from a unit that has been suspect at best since QB Tim Tebow graduated. RB Mike Gillislee has had a great start to the season, but he has never faced a defense that has this much talent. Defensively, there is definitely a lot here to work with for Head Coach Will Muschamp. He is a defensive specialist for sure, and with 10 returning starters and a lot of depth working its way into the regular rotation, there is no reason to believe that LSU will be able to put anywhere near the 41 points on the board that it did a campaign ago in the Bayou.

LSU @ Florida Free Picks^^: This could be a massive statement of a game for the Gators. This is a perfectly placed game, right in the middle of the season as it normally is. UF should be riding high with confidence at this point, and we think that it will be a lot closer to a pick ’em by the time this game kicks off. As it is, the college football point spread has dropped from 4.5 to 2.5. Florida is good enough to pull off the upset in what could be the signature win of Coach Muschamp’s career to date. Even if the Gators don’t get the job done, 4.5 points at the open might ultimately be the difference between a cover and a failure. This is one of the toughest calls for the entire college football season.
