Week 12 of the 2012 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2012 Week 12 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 12 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

It’s going to be quite the interesting weekend of college football betting action this week, and there are a number of tremendously important games on the slate, including some awesome rivalry showdowns.

The biggest rivalry on the Week 12 schedule pits the USC Trojans against the UCLA Bruins. The winner of this game will almost certainly go on to win the Pac-12 South Division to play the Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium for the right to go to the Rose Bowl. Both teams still have those Rose Bowl dreams even if that game is lost though, as the second team in the Pac-12 might be heading to Pasadena anyway, knowing that the Ducks at that point would likely be going to the BCS National Championship Game. UCLA has its best shot in years to take down the Men of Troy, and if it were to be the case, it would be a colossal shift in the culture in the city of Los Angeles and in college football on the West Coast as we know it. The Bruins are getting just 3.5 points, easily the fewest that they have gotten in years in this rivalry.

Speaking of those Ducks though, they have a big one in front of them on the weekend as well, as they are taking on the Stanford Cardinal. Last year, the Quack Attack was able to go on the road and derail the National Championship hopes for QB Andrew Luck and the Cardinal, and they’re going to hope to basically knock the Cardinal out of the Rose Bowl this year. The loser of this one is going to see some big time dreams demolished. We’ve already seen Stanford go on the road this year to South Bend, and the team really had the Fighting Irish dead to rights. Intimidation won’t be a factor in spite of the fact that the Cardinal are getting a 20.5-point head start on the college football betting odds.

Further down the rotation schedule, the Kansas State Wildcats, freshly armed with their brand spanking new No. 1 ranking in the country, will try their hand at the Baylor Bears on the road. The trip to Waco won’t be easy, as the Bears need two wins in their final three games just to get a bowl game, and they have been stingy against virtually everyone they have faced this year. This 11th game is the one where the Oklahoma State Cowboys tripped last year, and the hope is that this isn’t going to be the same case here for the Wildcats, who really seem destined to be playing for all of the marbles in January. Still, the oddsmakers aren’t showing supreme confidence here in the Cats, as they are favored by just a dozen in a very loseable clash.

The other of the undefeated teams, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, shouldn’t have all that tough of a time with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in one of their easier games of the year. The Deacs need to find another win somewhere to make it to a bowl game, but time is running out for that to happen. They’re not likely to win this one though, as they are +23.5 on Saturday afternoon in the home finale for the Golden Domers.

We really aren’t expecting all that much of a shake up in the BCS rankings this week, knowing that most of the other teams in the Top 15 in the land are playing a bunch of nobodies. Some of the biggest favorites of the weekend are all in the SEC due to the fact that they are largely all playing FCS foes. The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide are -50.5 against Western Carolina, the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs are -36.5 against Georgia Southern, and the No. 6 Florida Gators are -33.5 against Jacksonville State. South Carolina is also favored by 35 over Wofford. In fact, the only team ranked from No. 4 down to No. 10 that isn’t favored by at least 31 points this weekend is the LSU Tigers, who are laying 18.5 against the Ole Miss Rebels.

There are though, some crucial clashes in conferences. The Florida State Seminoles will win the ACC Atlantic Division if they can beat the Maryland Terrapins as 31-point favorites, while the Clemson Tigers will win it if Florida State loses and they can cover the NC State Wolfpack at -17.

Home field advantage in the Conference USA Championship Game will be decided when the Tulsa Golden Hurricane host the UCF Knights in the first of what will be two meetings of these teams this year in all likelihood. Tulsa is laying a field goal in that game. Meanwhile in the WAC, the Utah State Aggies are actually favored over the 20th ranked Louisiana Tech Bulldogs by a field goal even though that game is being played in Ruston. If the Aggies win that game, the last ever WAC title will go to them. La Tech though, still has its sights set on the BCS if it can win out and get some massive amounts of help.

The biggest favorite this week on the college football point spreads is Florida State at -31 in games between two FBS foes, while Alabama is the heaviest favorite overall at -50.5. The highest ‘total’ of the weekend is the the 75.5 in the game between the Houston Cougars and Marshall Thundering Herd. Honorable mention goes to the 74s that are on the board in the two big Big XII games of the day, those between the Oklahoma Sooners and the West Virginia Mountaineers, as well as the aforementioned Kansas State/Baylor game. The lowest ‘total’ is set at 43 for the Fighting Irish’s clash against Wake Forest.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 10 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.

Shortest Field Goal Made Over/Under 25.5 Yards (+100): K Ryan Succop has kicked just one field this year of less than 25 yards, while K Shaun Suisham has just three. However, we have to think that Mother Nature is going to play some tricks on both of these teams. Getting down to the opposing 8-yard line won’t be easy as it is, but getting those last few yards will be difficult in the projected wind and rain. Both of these head coaches have already proven to be rather conservative over the course of the season, and they are likely to be putting the points on the board when they can. It only takes one kick to make us a winner in this one, and it could come at any point over the course of the game. We think that it will happen at least half the time in these conditions. Shortest Field Goal Made Under 25.5 Yards (+100)

Will Heath Miller Score a Touchdown?: And here’s a way that we can hedge our bets! Miller has scored six touchdowns this year, and five of the six have come from five yards or closer (the sixth touchdown came from nine yards out). That being said, if the Steelers are going to get inside the Kansas City 10-yard line and score, there is a good chance that it is either going to be by way of a field goal or by way of a Miller touchdown. There is a decent chance that both of these outcomes end up happening over the course of this game, and we think that it is a lot more likely that both do than both don’t. Pittsburgh is going to have its chances in the red zone, and we need two of them to go our way for the kill of getting both of these NFL props. Heath Miller To Score a Touchdown (+100)

Dwayne Bowe Over/Under 5 Receptions: Receivers have had a terrible time this year against the Steelers’ defense, especially of late. Quarterbacks have only thrown for right around 150 total yards per game against them over the course of the last three weeks, and that clearly is going to make life really difficult on Bowe. There have been four games this year in which the former LSU Tiger has had at least six receptions, but three in which he has had just three catches. With so much emphasis on the bad weather, it’s going to be hard to get the ball up the field to Bowe. If he’s going to beat us, he’s going to do so with short passes, and that’s what WR/RB Dexter McCluster is more used for than anything else. We really think that the KC offense is going to struggle, and it’s largely going to be because the ball can’t get forced into Bowe’s hands. Dwayne Bowe Under 5 Receptions (-115)

Ben Roethlisberger Over/Under 260.5 Passing Yards: This is a rough and very contradictory prop. We love using fantasy football stats to tell us how to bet these props, and this is a nice spot to use just that. According to ESPN Fantasy Sports, the Chiefs actually have the worst defense in the NFL from a fantasy standpoint on average against opposing offenses in the league. That means that Big Ben could be in for a big time day. The weather is going to play a negative role in all of this for the Pittsburgh offense, but Big Ben is used to playing in these conditions. He has had at least 260 passing yards four times this year, and that makes this prop a de facto tossup. Still, the KC defense seems to be the great equalizer, and believe it or not, it could be the fact that this game is could stay closer because of the weather that might make Roethlisberger throw the ball even more. Ben Roethlisberger Over 260.5 Passing Yards (-115)

James Harrison Over/Under 5.5 Tackles: Something is most certainly wrong with this prop, and we have to take advantage of it. We know that the Kansas City offensive line is pretty darn bad, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Harrison have a huge impact on this game. However, he hasn’t had a game this year with more than four tackles, let alone more than five tackles. Assists will help, but in the end, this is still just far, far too high of a number, one that should be set at more like 4.5 than 5.5 James Harrison Under 5.5 Total Tackles (-115)

Each and every year, the 24 hours of college basketball and the College Hoops Marathon is one of the most intriguing activities of the year. This is a chance to see some teams from all across the country showcasing their skills early in the regular season. Join us here at Bankroll Sports for all of the college basketball previews for all of the games that are on tap with the 24 hours of college hoops schedule!

12:00 AM: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Gonzaga Bulldogs
West Virginia vs. Gonzaga Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Bulldogs and the Mountaineers kick off the classic here at midnight, and it should be a raucous crowd at the Kennel. This is one of the toughest places to go play college basketball, and West Virginia is going to figure that out. This is going to be the first time that the Mountaineers play under the Big XII banner, and it is one of the tough games in a very difficult non-conference schedule. Meanwhile, the Zags hardly ever lose at home, and they just keep getting richer and richer. Elias Harris and Kevin Pangos are back to lead this club, but freshman Przemek Karnowski might become a huge threat off of the bench. This is a game that should go to the hosts.

2:00 AM: Davidson Wildcats @ New Mexico Lobos
Davidson vs. New Mexico Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Davidson and New Mexico both have ideas of making the NCAA Tournament this year, and this might prove to be a great game for the winner to stick on their resume come March Madness. Davidson is opening up with a ton of games on the road this year, and this is going to be one of the toughest ones to prepare for in The Pit. It’s especially tough knowing that this is the first game of the season for the Lobos. If the Mountain West really does have the capabilities of sending perhaps three teams into the Sweet 16 this year, this is a game that New Mexico should take.

4:00 AM: Houston Baptist Huskies @ Hawaii Warriors
Houston Baptist vs. Hawaii Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Warriors seemingly always have the 4:00 AM game in the 24 hours of college basketball schedule, and this year is no exception. They’ve got a couple cupcake victories under their belts already, and this should be yet another one before some of the real games come up. This is one of the many games that the Huskies have to play this year just to make a schedule come together. They only won 10 games last year, and this won’t be a game that they win either.

6:00 AM: Stony Brook Seawolves @ Rider Broncs
Stony Brook vs. Rider Picks, Predictions, and Preview: This has the potential to be one of the better games that you don’t see coming in the 2012 College Basketball Marathon. The Seawolves won 22 games last year and the regular season America East title. Rider wasn’t a fantastic club last year at 13-19, but what they do have now is a superstar in the making in Nurideen Lindsey, who scored 26 points in his debut with the Broncs against Robert Morris. This should be a great contrast of styles, and it will be interesting to see whether Lindsey and the Broncs can run against Stony Brook or not. Give the upset here to the host Broncs out of the Metro Atlantic, a team you might want to keep a close eye on as the season wears on.

8:00 AM: Northern Illinois Huskies @ Valparaiso Crusaders
Northern Illinois vs. Valparaiso Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Huskies haven’t been great in quite some time, and this year appears to be no exception after losing to Nebraska Omaha to start off the season. Valpo on the other hand, is getting some votes for the Top 25 already, and this should prove to be nothing more than another step in the right direction for a budding program out of the Horizon League. There’s a lot of hope that the Crusaders can be on the top half of the bracket this year, and this is a game that will help out and move them to 2-0.

10:00 AM: Harvard Crimson @ Massachusetts Minutemen
Harvard vs. UMass Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Crimson finally won the Ivy League last year and got into the NCAA Tournament, and many think that they can get back this year as well. Of course, after the academic scandal that shocked the university, there is just one starter back from last year’s club. This is still a talented team for sure, but the Minutemen are the better team. UMass came on strong last year and won 25 games, and it should put away the Crimson in a tough, defensive showdown in the 10:00 AM hour.

12:00 PM: Temple Owls @ Kent State Golden Flashes
Temple vs. Kent State Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Temple figures to contend for the A-10 crown once again this year before heading off to the Big East, but the school has a lot of work to do in this one to take down the Golden Flashes. Kent State won 21 games last year and already has a win over Drexel to its credit this year, and it is going to hope to snare another big time scalp in this one. Unfortunately for the Flashes, they probably don’t have the goods to be able to hold off a very talented Temple side that has a lot of experience.

2:00 PM: Detroit Titans @ St. John’s Red Storm
Detroit vs. St. John’s Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Head Coach Steve Lavin has referred to his Red Storm as “deep and balanced” this year, but we just don’t see it. Detroit would love to be able to come to Carnesecca Arena and log a victory for the Horizon League, and it just might be able to do it. Ray McCallum and Doug Anderson figure to lead the way for this team in scoring, and these two have the talent to stand up to a bottom of the barrel team from the Big East. The Titans could prove to pull off the “titanic” upset at the Johnnies’ house.

4:00 PM: Butler Bulldogs @ Xavier Musketeers
Butler vs. Xavier Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Picking up Rotnei Clarke from Arkansas might be just the thing to make Butler a contender once again this year. Xavier is going to be a tough place to go into for a 4:00 PM game, but the Cintas Center is beatable for the little guys. The Bulldogs are going to have to put together a yeoman’s effort. We think that they’ll come close, but in the end, the X-Men are probably going to have a little too much in this one to be beaten.

7:00 PM: Michigan State Spartans vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Michigan State vs. Kansas Picks, Predictions, and Preview: And now start the big time games! The Spartans were beaten in their first game of the season against Connecticut, and now, Head Coach Tom Izzo and the gang have to go to take on one of the best teams in America. Head Coach Bill Self has the Jayhawks ready for this date in Atlanta, and it should be a good one for sure. We’re going to give the nod to the Spartans with their veteran leadership to bounce back and prove that they belong over Kansas, a team that we still have a heck of a lot of respect for.

9:30 PM: Duke Blue Devils vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Duke vs. Kentucky Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Finally comes the biggest game of the 24 hours of college hoops, the clash of the titans, the Blue Devils and Wildcats. If you’ve made it this far without sleep, you’ll make it through, knowing that this very well could be a Final Four preview. Kentucky had its challenge from Maryland to start the year, but the club is still clearly ridiculously talented. Duke had a cohesive start to the season against Georgia State, and the Blue Devils might have the goods to take down a Kentucky team that clearly has some holes.

Massive NFL point spreads are the theme of the Week 10 NFL betting lines, as there are a number of games that are expected to be blowouts. After one of the most public weeks in the history of NFL betting action though, we know that there are probably some NFL upsets that are going to be in the cards this coming week.

The team that opens up the weekend as the biggest favorite is the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are coming off of their bye week, and they are taking on the easiest foe in their division, the St. Louis Rams. Head Coach Jeff Fisher and the gang aren’t going to go down easily, even if this game is played on the road and in front of one of the best crowds in the league. Still, getting 11.5 points is a ton to start with, and we have seen St. Louis stick around with some big time spreads on its side this year. The 49ers are most certainly on notice that this is going to be a tough game.

The other double digit favorites this week are the New England Patriots. The Pats have just rolled right through some foes this year, but the last we saw of them, they needed overtime to take down the Jets right here at Gillette Stadium in a similar game. The Brady Bunch is coming off of its bye week, and it gets a Buffalo Bills team that just isn’t all that great. The Bills were blasted by a dozen last week by the Texans on the road, and this is likely going to be the fourth massive beating that they have taken on the road this year.

One of the more intriguing early games on Sunday pits the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina is probably out of the playoff picture at this point in spite of last week’s win over the Redskins, but the interesting part of this is that Head Coach John Fox is returning to his old stomping grounds with his new and improved team. The Broncos are clearly one of the best teams in the AFC this year, but this is a long road trip against a team that is hungry and talented in spite of its iffy 2-6 record. Carolina is getting four points at home, and we can already tell that this is going to be the exact same situation that the Broncos were in last week when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals. These same Bengals are getting four for the second straight week at home against the New York Giants as well.

This is the week that the rubber might meet the road for a number of potential playoff teams in the AFC. The Miami Dolphins dipped to .500 last week, and they badly need to beat the Tennessee Titans at home as six-point favorites to keep their season alive. The Baltimore Ravens are also favored by 7.5 at M&T Bank Stadium against the Oakland Raiders, one of the hungriest teams in the league.

Thanks to Monday Night Football, this week still has two very important games that are listed as off the board. The New Orleans Saints are going to take on the Atlanta Falcons, and the truth of the matter is that QB Drew Brees and the gang very well could ultimately be favored over the 8-0 Falcons, who are still clearly getting no respect in spite of the fact that they very well could be halfway to a perfect season. The other game is going to see the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles go at each other. Both teams are still in the race in the NFC East, but neither has to feel comfortable right now. Both are on the outside of the playoffs looking in, and that makes this one all the more important. We expect to see the Eagles as short favorites in this game, though Dallas has been getting a lot of respect on the NFL odds of late.

And then there are the primetime games though, which are all going to be very important games. We’ll start on Thursday, when the Indianapolis Colts are three-point road favorites on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are one of the worst teams in the league, and they are still going to be playing without RB Maurice Jones-Drew. However, Indy is the team of the hour, clearly, knowing that it has a chance to get to 6-3 this year and firmly in control of its own destiny for a spot in the playoffs this year.

Football Night in America this week might be a Super Bowl 47 preview. The Chicago Bears and Houston Texans know that this game isn’t the end of the world at the moment, as both teams are clearly on their way to the playoffs, likely as division champs. The winner is going to feel a heck of a lot better than the loser though, knowing that Colts in the AFC South and the Packers and Vikings in the NFC North aren’t all that far off the heels of the two respective division leaders. This is expected to be one of the best games of the weekend, knowing that both of these teams are clearly in the Top 5 teams in all of football. The Bears are going to be laying 1.5 at the outset of the week at home, but this one clearly could go either way on the NFL point spreads.

Finally, Monday Night Football this week, could be a disaster for the Kansas City Chiefs and Head Coach Romeo Crennel. Poor Crennel hasn’t even been the coach for a full year of this team, but in the end, he is expected to get dismissed sooner than later. His team has been brutalized in virtually every spot this year, and the Chiefs haven’t even led for a single second in a game this year. Odds have it, this won’t be the week that this changes either, as the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored by 11.5 points against the Chiefs at Heinz Field.

‘Totals’ this week are going to be spread all over the place. As expected, the highest ‘total’ of the weekend to this point pits the Patriots against the Bills. We have seen New England’s offense score oodles of points against virtually anyone in the league, and we have seen the Bills give up at least 45 three times this year. That’s why this is featuring an over/under of 51. We do expect to see the Atlanta/New Orleans game featuring a ‘total’ in the 50s as well, quite possibly higher than this Buffalo/New England game as well.

The low end ‘totals’ of the weekend are both in the 30s, and that is relatively rare, knowing that the mass majority of games are in the 40s this year. The New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks are seeing their ‘total’ sitting at 38.5, while the same number is hanging on the board right now for the Rams and 49ers.

The weeks are counting down in the 2012 college football season, and the Week 11 odds are out and should be considered interesting, to say the least. There is a full slate of games starting on Tuesday all the way through Saturday night, and virtually every team in the nation is going to be on edge.

The games early in the week are all going to involve some fantastic teams that are all almost certainly headed to bowl games. The best of the bunch is the Florida State Seminoles, who are laying 14 on the road in a very treacherous trip to Blacksburg against the Virginia Tech Hokies.

On Tuesday and Wednesday though, the crowded MAC Championship race will be sorted out just a bit. The Toledo Rockets are laying a touchdown at home to the Ball State Cardinals, while the Ohio Bobcats are cautiously giving a field goal to the Bowling Green Falcons.

Friday’s clash pits the Connecticut Huskies against the Pitt Panthers, a game that sees UConn getting 3.5 in a game where one of these teams will almost surely be eliminated from bowl contention this year.

Saturday though, brings the real meat and potatoes of the schedule, where conference and division titles will be won and lost, and where the best teams in the nation are all facing some of their toughest tests of the year.

There are some tremendously crucial games in the SEC this week, and the one that all eyes are going to be on is the clash in Tuscaloosa between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas A&M Aggies. This is a potentially dangerous game for the Tide, who have played back to back amazing teams in the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the LSU Tigers, and now, they have to take on arguably the most dynamic and dangerous of the bunch. The oddsmakers are insinuating that QB Johnny Manziel is going to be able to put some points on the board against one of the best defenses in the nation. Johnny Football and the crew are getting 13.5 on the road, but if you take home field advantage out of the equation, the oddsmakers are making the assumption that this is the best chance that any team has had to beat the Crimson Tide this year.

Alabama already has the SEC West title locked up one way or the other, and it has its ticket just about punched to the SEC Championship Game. Meanwhile, the Georgia Bulldogs will be able to head to Atlanta for the second straight year if they can just beat the Auburn Tigers at Jordan Hare Stadium this weekend. Auburn has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season, and Head Coach Gene Chizik is likely on the way out because of it. Georgia is laying 15.5 on the road, but the Florida Gators are going to be watching intently. A UGA loss, and UF will be the team taking on the Tide for the SEC title and the automatic bid to the BCS.

Another team that is going to have it tough this week is the Kansas State Wildcats. The Cats are going to have to go on the road to take on the TCU Horned Frogs, who are still hoping to cling to slight BCS bowl hopes this year. It’s going to take pulling off the upset of the No. 2 team in the nation to keep those dreams alive. This game is currently off the board because QB Collin Klein’s injury status is still up in the air, but even if he is playing and totally healthy, we do expect to see TCU getting some major respect, probably getting just a handful of points or so.

Meanwhile, the rest of the top teams in the BCS really don’t have it all that tough this week. Both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Oregon Ducks are going on the road this week, but neither is expected to be challenged. The Quack Attack is laying 28 to the Cal Golden Bears, while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is giving 19 on the Week 11 odds to the Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill.

The SEC has one more crucial game this weekend, as the LSU Tigers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs battle it out in Baton Rouge. These two teams are both fighting it out for perhaps a spot in the BCS or a spot in the Cotton Bowl, and both teams know that winning out could get the job done, though neither are going to be in the SEC Championship Game this year. LSU is favored by 14 at home, and it is figuring to get back on track on Saturday night after losing to the Crimson Tide last week.

A bid to the Rose Bowl could be on the line for the Stanford Cardinal and the Oregon State Beavers. Neither of these teams figure to win the Pac-12 this year, but if the Ducks are on their way to the BCS National Championship Game, the Rose Bowl will still want a Pac-12 team to replace them. The loser of this game likely will be out of the discussion without upsetting the U of O down the line, but the winner will likely finish the year in the Top 15 of the BCS and be eligible for the Rose Bowl. Stanford is favored by 4.5 on “The Farm,” but this should be a remarkably close game.

The biggest favorite on the Week 11 college football betting odds is the BYU Cougars. The Cougs really don’t have anything to play for, knowing that they are going to the Poinsettia Bowl regardless of how the rest of the season plays out. The Idaho Vandals are their foes this week though, and there haven’t been many worse teams in America than this. That’s why BYU is laying a whopping 38 points. Honorable mention goes to the Clemson Tigers, who are favored by 31 points against the Maryland Terrapins, who are still trying to figure out how to play games with a linebacker playing at quarterback.

Friday night’s fight between Pittsburgh and Connecticut is one of the six games thus far on the Week 11 gambling lines that features a ‘total’ in the 40s, but there is none that is lower than this game. The Huskies have some major problems scoring, and that’s why this ‘total’ is just 43.5. There are a few games in the 70s this week on the over/under, but the highest of the bunch is the only one that could get into the 80s. The West Virginia Mountaineers are still scoring points in bunches, and the Oklahoma State Cowboys aren’t going to give up offensively either. The ‘total’ in this one is 79.5, and it might be a rising number as the week goes on, as many still remember that West Virginia/Baylor game that got into the 130s.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 10 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial Thursday Night Football matchup.

Josh Scobee Over/Under 6.5 Points: There aren’t many situations where we are going to want to back Jacksonville’s kicker, but this very well could be one of those times when it really pays off to go for the gold. Scobee has a rich history of just killing the Colts, including booting a number of game winners from 50+ yards out to crush the then QB Peyton Manning led bunch. Scobee already has 30 field goals made in 16 games against Indy in his career, and that includes 15 from outside of 40 yards. There’s no doubt that, in the end, Scobee is going to get his opportunities, and as long as he manages to sneak two between the uprights, there’s no reason to think that he won’t tack on either a PAT or a third field goal when push comes to shove. Remember that when these two teams met the first time, Scobee put up 10 total points. Josh Scobee Over 6.5 Points (+100)

Dwayne Allen Over/Under 46.5 Receiving Yards: If there is a quarterback that knows how to stretch out the field by using his tight ends, it’s Andrew Luck. He did so in college with so many fantastic tight ends, and he is doing the same here at the NFL level as well. Allen was the second rookie tight end taken by Indianapolis in the NFL Draft this past year, but he has really turned out to be the better of the two when push comes to shove. Now, Luck’s roommate, TE Coby Fleener is hurt, and that really just leaves Allen to pick up the slack. Luck is throwing the ball more now that the running game for the Colts is disintegrating, and that means less blocking and more pass catching for Allen. He has 12 targets over the course of the last two weeks, and if he hauls in just three or four of them, he should be able to get to this yardage total without all that much in the way of hassle. Dwayne Allen Over 46.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Andrew Luck Passing Yards Over/Under 278.5: As much as we think that it is a square play to take Luck going ‘over’ 278.5 yards, we just have to do it, knowing that he is going to do so more often than not. Acting Head Coach Bruce Arians just loves letting Luck air it out, and he is going to connect on a few of those long ones up the field for sure. He is throwing the ball over 40 times per game now with just RB Vick Ballard left to carry the load in the backfield, and that includes a lot of the check down passes that made the Manning-to-Faulk (then James, then Addai) combination oh so good. The Jacksonville defense can’t get out of its way for the most part, and it already allowed 300+ yards to Luck once this year. There’s just no reason to think that this won’t be the second time that he pulls that feat off. Andrew Luck Over 278.5 Passing Yards (-130)

Will Either Team Score in the First 6 ½ Minutes of the Game?: We’re really a bit puzzled as to why this number is 6 ½ minutes and not at least seven or 7 ½ minutes. These two teams both have a tendency of running some slower drives when push comes to shove, and if the Jags get the ball first, we all know just how long it takes them to get going at times, especially without RB Maurice Jones-Drew in the fold. There is just a real question where the Jacksonville offense is coming from if it isn’t coming from RB Rashad Jennings, and that makes it quite believable that there won’t be a score in the first half of the first quarter. No Score in the First 6 ½ Minutes of the Game (-110)

We are closing in on the halfway point of the 2012 NFL season, and that means that every single game on the NFL point spreads gets more and more important. Check out all of the NFL Week 9 odds at the bottom of this article, and join us for a quick discussion on all of the great games on the NFL Week 9 schedule!

There are a ton of teams right now that are searching for season-defining victories or trying to avoid what might be season-defining defeats. On Thursday night, the Kansas City Chiefs are going to hope to start to turn the ship around against the slumping San Diego Chargers. Both of these head coaches are in a heck of a lot of trouble, and we wouldn’t be all that surprised to see the loser dismissed sooner than later. The Chargers are favored by 7.5-points, but that doesn’t mean that they are a sure thing to win. Remember that this is the same San Diego outfit that has dropped back to back games, one in which it was up 24-0 before losing by double digits, and the latter of which came to the lowly Cleveland Browns.

San Diego is favored by a huge margin, but it isn’t nearly favored by the most points in the league this week. The biggest favorites are the Green Bay Packers, who are -11 against the Arizona Cardinals. This is the second straight week in which Green Bay is the biggest favorite on the NFL betting odds, but this might be the even easier of the two games. The Cards look like a wreck right now, and they have dropped four games in a row. You wouldn’t know just that a few weeks ago, Arizona was the 4-0 team, and Green Bay was the club that we were all asking what was wrong with it.

The other massive favorites are the Houston Texans, who are laying 10.5 to the Buffalo Bills. It is a reunion for DE Mario Williams, who is now one of the two former No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft of the Texans that are playing for other teams. Williams is banged up but is expected to give it a go against his former mates, who badly need a win to get back in control of the AFC East race. The Texans might be the best team in the NFL though, so it wouldn’t be considered all that much of a surprise if this is a romp, especially knowing that the last time we saw them play, they absolutely destroyed the Baltimore Ravens.

One of the themes that we are seeing this week is the idea of the road favorite. There haven’t been a lot of them on the NFL odds this year, and for good reason. Home underdogs are covering 56.1% of all games this year and have won 48.8% of those games outright as well. Four teams, two in the AFC and two in the NFC are favored by 3.5 this week on the road, while a fifth, the Miami Dolphins, are giving 2.5 to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Denver Broncos are giving 3.5 to the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that both teams badly need to win. The Bengals are sliding and could be out of the playoff picture with a loss in this one. However, the Broncos aren’t going to give up their newly acquired lead in the AFC West without a fight, even on the road against a team that was in the playoffs last year. You still have to go back two years to find a game that Cincinnati has won against a team that ultimately went to the playoffs that season.

The old Cleveland Browns are visiting the new Cleveland Browns as well this week. The Baltimore Ravens are off of their bye, and they are hoping to avoid becoming the newest team to lose to the Browns. Cleveland has played a heck of a lot better ball over the course of the last few weeks, and it would love nothing more than to spoil the weekend for the AFC North leaders and maybe think about getting back in the playoff chase itself as well. Baltimore is favored by 3.5-points, but that doesn’t mean that this game is so far removed from an upset.

The two teams in the NFC that are favored by 3.5 are the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. They are both going on the road to face teams from the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans respectively. These are both games that should be won this weekend by the NFC North squads, knowing that the AFC South might be the worst division in football outside of the Texans.

Maybe the biggest game on Sunday is the 4:25 ET kick between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants. These two teams are built awfully similarly, and both have their questions to them. Pittsburgh is the team in much more dire need of a victory, and it might be possible, knowing that the Giants are coming off of that emotional win last week in Dallas. The G-Men are giving a field goal in a game that should be a real fight.

Other games on the Sunday docket that we have not yet discussed include the Washington Redskins -3.5 against the Carolina Panthers, the Seattle Seahawks -5 againt the Minnesota Vikings, and the Oakland Raiders -1.5 at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Of note on the Minnesota/Seattle game is the fact that this is the only game of the week with a ‘total’ posted in the 30s, and that is only just barely there right now at 39.5.

Sunday Night Football this week pits the Atlanta Falcons at home against the Dallas Cowboys. We’re not really all that sure what the oddsmakers are seeing in Dallas to make this NFL line just four points, but to the Cowboys’ credit, they have stayed close in virtually every game that they have played this year. The Falcons are still undefeated though, and it would be difficult to see how the Cowboys would come on the road to the Georgia Dome to score the upset.

Monday Night Football should feature just a ton of points as well. The much beleaguered Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints both know that they have to go on a run here, and in a hurry if they are going to challenge for playoff spots this year in the top-heavy NFC. This is a game that features the highest ‘total’ of the weekend at 52.5, and it also sees the host Saints giving a field goal in their quest to become just the second team in the history of the league to start 0-4 and to make the playoffs.
