Complete List of Week 9 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 9 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 9 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 9 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

A number of so called “better” teams are heading on the road to highlight the action this weekend, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ll have all of our NFL Week 9 picks available for you throughout the week.

The Chicago Bears are probably in the most predictable spot this week, as they are heading into Ralph Wilson Stadium off of a bye week against the Buffalo Bills. The hosts have to be happy to be back at home, especially after crushing overtime defeats against the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs on the road in back to back weeks. Buffalo remains as the last winless team in the NFL, but that could change this weekend. Still, the oddsmakers are making the Bears 2.5 point chalks.

The biggest of the road favorites of the week 9 NFL lines are the New England Patriots. The Pats are laying 5.5 at the Cleveland Browns, who are coming off of their bye week as well. Cleveland looks as though it has a great, new look on offense with QB Colt McCoy calling the shots, and this will be the ultimate test to do what fellow rookie QB Sam Bradford did in the preseason: Beat the Patriots. You know that this is a huge game for Cleveland fans, as New England HC Bill Belichick was a miserable failure with the Browns. However, the Mad Scientist knows how hot and heavy the Dawg Pound can get, but he loves really sticking it to the team that he first coached way back in the day.

At this point, the biggest favorites of all the NFL Week 9 lines are the Atlanta Falcons. They’re taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what might be the biggest game of the season for both teams. First place in the NFC South will be on the line, as the Bucs are only trailing Atlanta by a half game. We know that Tampa Bay really hasn’t played a solid schedule as of yet, but it has a chance to really prove the oddsmakers wrong in this one with what would be an excellent win on the road. The problem is that the two times that the Bucs have run up against definitive postseason teams this year, they were crushed by both the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Falcons are getting healthy and are coming off of their bye week, and they have no desire to fall back to the pack in the NFC South. Atlanta is lined at -9 on the opening lines.

Perhaps the most interesting matchup of the week is that of the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens don’t lose at home often, though they were threatened by the aforementioned Bills in their most recent game two weeks ago. However now, they are coming off of their bye and certainly have their hands full with the Fins this week. Miami improved to 4-0 SU and ATS on the road this year last week by upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals 22-14, and the oddsmakers have appropriately adjusted the line accordingly. The Fish are still dogs, but only catching 4.5 points at M&T Bank Stadium seems like a short line.

As always in the NFL, we’re on QB Brett Favre alert, as we are worried about whether he’ll be able to keep his streak alive of consecutive games played after last week’s jarring hit against the New England Patriots that knocked him out of the lineup. We know that WR Randy Moss won’t be with the team anymore, as he was released on Monday just three games after being traded for from the same Pats that beat Minnesota last weekend. The Vikes are currently off the board against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday until the Favre situation is officially sorted out.

In regards to the ‘total’, at least at this point, all eight games on the board are listed with ‘totals’ between 40 and 45, but we fully expect to see some bigger numbers by the time these games all go up and go off the board on Sunday.

Complete List of Week 8 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 8 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 8 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 8 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Week 8 of the NFL season is going to be quite the interesting one for a number of teams. There are currently 11 games on the NFL schedule for this weekend, and only one of the 11 home teams are underdogs, something that is out of the ordinary by the standards of NFL betting action.

It’s even more ironic when that one underdog is the defending Super Bowl champs. Something is really wrong right now with the New Orleans Saints, as they really haven’t had but one very strong game this season, and they have really yet to seize control of the Louisiana Superdome as they have had in recent years. This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town in a clash of the two most recent Super Bowl champions. Pittsburgh’s defense looked penetrable last week against the Miami Dolphins, and the men in black and gold have to hope that that remains the case once again this week. However, with QB Ben Roethlisberger now having strung together back to back great games, this battle is sure to be a great one on Sunday. NFL picks can be made on this game until the Halloween night kickoff at 8:20, and the hosts are slender one point pups.

The month of November will kick off with a tremendous game as well. The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans are both coming off of their bye week, and they’ll meet at Lucas Oil Field for a tremendous Week 8 encounter on Monday Night Football. Houston took a major step in the right direction by beating down the Colts in Week 1 of the season, as RB Arian Foster rumbled for over 200 yards on the day. With the news breaking this week that TE Dallas Clark has been put on IR, one has to wonder if this is the year that the Texans win in Indianapolis for the first time ever. The oddsmakers are showing faith in the hosts though, as they are 5.5 point choices of the oddsmakers. The ‘total’ of 50 is the first game this year that has cracked the half century mark on the board.

This past weekend, the Buffalo Bills were the biggest underdogs on the board against the Baltimore Ravens, and they nearly pulled off the tremendous upset before falling in overtime to the men in purple and black. This weekend, they are once again the biggest dogs on the board, as they are 7.5 points in the rears to start against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Now though, Buffalo has the added pressure of being the only team in the NFL that has yet to win a game. It seems farfetched to really go the whole season without a win, but with the 2008 Detroit Lions watching and smirking, the Bills are going to be pressed to get the monkey off their backs in this one against the AFC West leaders.

With rashes and rashes of ‘over’ games of late, Week 8 is likely to feature 11 games with ‘totals’ in the 40s. The one exception is going to be the clash between the Carolina Panthers and the St. Louis Rams. These two were both playing in games last week that were decided at the gun, but the Panthers proved to be winners for the first time this year over the San Francisco 49ers, while the Rams were narrow one point losers to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The prospect was there for this to be the first battle of the season between two rookie starting quarterbacks, but it appears as though QB Matt Moore is going to be the man under center in this one for the Panthers, not QB Jimmy Clausen. This should be a great one for QB Sam Bradford, who has led his team to three wins at home already on the season. St. Louis is favored by three points, while the ‘total’ has been set at the lowest number on the board at 36.5.

The one question mark this week is whether or not QB Brett Favre is going to lose his streak of consecutive games played dating back to the 1992 season or not. Favre reportedly has some serious ankle injuries at this point, and Minnesota’s game with the New England Patriots in Foxboro is currently off the board.

Complete List of Week 9 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 9 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 9 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 9 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The Oregon Ducks have to want to know what in the heck they did wrong last week. They beat the snot out of the UCLA Bruins 60-14, and though the No. 1 team in the land, the Oklahoma Sooners, ultimately ended up dropping to the Missouri Tigers, it was the Auburn Tigers that moved up to No. 1, not Oregon. The Quack Attack has a great chance to make a name for themselves this weekend in Pasadena against the USC Trojans, who arguably would be good enough to be in the Top 25 this year if they were eligible for the BCS rankings. It isn’t often that you see the men of Troy getting points at home, but that’s what’s happening on Saturday night, as the Ducks are laying 6.5.

What about that stingy Auburn team… The Tigers now have the odds on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy in QB Cam Newton, but they also have a suddenly dubious distinction of being the No. 1 team in the land that is about to head on the road. No, running up against the Mississippi Rebels isn’t as difficult as the tests that the Sooners, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Alabama Crimson Tide have faced, but there’s a reason that the top team in the country is only laying a touchdown on the road against a very scary Ole Miss team led by the improving QB Jeremiah Masoli.

One of the great rivalry games in college football is this weekend, as the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs meet in the World’s Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, FL. UF is almost always favored in this game, but thanks to its three game losing streak and UGA’s three straight wins in conference, the Dawgs are actually the choices of the oddsmakers by a field goal. The winner of this game will have a leg up in the SEC race, but of these two teams, only the Gators control their own destiny to get to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

Perhaps the biggest game of the weekend is going to be play in Lincoln on Saturday night. The Nebraska Cornhuskers might have saved their season last week by taking care of the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, but now they have to run into the last undefeated team standing in this conference, the Missouri Tigers. Though it is a long ways away from a sure thing, the Tigers would essentially wrap up a berth in the Big XII Championship Game with a win, as Nebraska would be two back and the tiebreaker. That means that the ‘Zou would have to avoid losing three games from here on out, and it would still get a chance to play for the Big XII crown. The ‘Huskers control their own destiny in their final season in the Big XII, and this would be a great chance to keep themselves in the driver’s seat for the BCS as opposed to finding themselves in a second or third tier bowl game.

The Michigan State Spartans are all the way up to No. 5 in the country this week, and they might have their last big test of the season as well. Their offense is going to be tested by a very stout defense of the Iowa Hawkeyes, who have to be steaming after that loss to the Wisconsin Badgers last week. With their only shot of winning the Big Ten laying on the line, the Hawkeyes are actually laying 6.5 points against one of the few undefeated teams left in the nation.

We’re getting tired of saying it each and every week, but once again, the two biggest favorites on the college football betting board are the Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs. Boise State played on Tuesday night and just narrowly missed covering a whopping 37.5 point spread. However, the Horned Frogs are laying five full touchdowns at the UNLV Rebels on Saturday night in what really shouldn’t be a close game.

The team with the only undefeated ATS mark in the country, the Utah Utes, will need to beat the Air Force Falcons in Colorado Springs by more than a touchdown to move to 7-0-1 ATS on the year.

Complete List of Week 7 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

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

The Beastie Boys had it right when they said that “you gotta fight for your right to party!” There are a number of teams this week that could be facing situations in which they really have to prove to be victorious in NFL betting action, or they are just going to be too far away from the rest of the pack to sneak into the second season even with a great charge during the second half of the year.

The San Diego Chargers are probably Exhibit A in this situation. The Bolts have now been beaten as hefty road favorites in back to back weeks to the lowly Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams, and they now have four losses on the road already this season. The good news this week is that they’ll be back at home at Qualcomm Stadium. The bad news is that the New England Patriots, arguably the best team in AFC, if not the entire NFL, is coming to town. The Chargers are 2-0 SU and ATS this year in front of the hometown crowd, and a win this week is imperative, especially with this divisional race still being so tight in the AFC West. A loss will probably remove any realistic chance of capturing a Wild Card in the AFC, so this one has tremendous importance. San Diego is a 2.5 point favorite on the opening NFL lines this week.

The Dallas Cowboys are the other great example. HC Wade Phillips is sitting on one of the hottest seats in the NFL, and for good reason. His ‘Boys only have one win this season, and they aren’t looking good right now this weekend against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Dallas will fall three games out of first place with all three teams to still chase down with a defeat, something that New York would love to bestow upon it. QB Tony Romo might have to have a field day against this secondary, but you can bet that the offensive line is going to be in for a challenge against the formidable front seven in blue and white. Still, the oddsmakers are showing faith in Dallas, making it a three point home favorite on MNF.

The team that put Dallas in this spot, the Minnesota Vikings, have a crucial tilt with the banged up Green Bay Packers. The Pack were defeated in overtime for the second straight week last week, and they certainly don’t look like a division champion at this point in the season. Green Bay will welcome back QB Brett Favre to Lambeau Field and will try to beat him for the first time since leaving town three years ago. The Week 7 odds suggest that it will do just that, as the hosts are favored by 2.5 points over the Vikes.

Not all of the games this weekend are projected to be all that close, though. There are a pair of double digit point spreads on the board, and both are expected to certainly be romps.

The New Orleans Saints got back on track last week and got back into a tie for first place in the NFC South by crushing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, QB Colt McCoy is likely to get yet another stern test. As if his first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn’t hard enough… now he has to face the defending Super Bowl champs on the road. Yikes. There’s a reason that Cleveland is a 13.5 point underdog, the biggest on the board for the weekend.

The hapless Buffalo Bills are heading to the big crab cake, as they’ll come off their bye week and face the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore fell back out of first place as quickly as it snared the lead in the AFC North, and a trip here would be incredibly inexcusable, particularly in a game like this one against a team that should be beaten the mass majority of the time. The Bills are 13 point dogs to fall to 0-6 on the campaign.

Complete List of Week 8 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 8 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 8 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 8 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The first BCS rankings are out on the season, and the Oregon Ducks are the new No. 1 team in the country. Perhaps it’s not a grand thing to be ranked No. 1 though, as both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Ohio State Buckeyes have fallen to the No. 1 hex in back to back weeks. If Oregon is going to make that three in a row though, it is going to end up really posting an inexcusable dud at home against the UCLA Bruins. For a standalone game, this is the biggest NCAA point spread of the season, as the Ducks are favored by a whopping 24 points on Thursday night.

Perhaps the team set to fall into the biggest trap this weekend is the Michigan State Spartans. MSU is all the way up to No. 8 on the year, and it has to be looking forward to its big showdown with the Iowa Hawkeyes next week that could ultimately decide whether it has a perfect season in the cards. However, we must remember that this was about the time of year that the Northwestern Wildcats snuck up on those same Hawkeyes and wrecked their perfect season very unceremoniously. It would be a disaster for Sparty if that same fate were to happen this weekend, but the NCAA football odds suggest that it had better be careful, especially in Evanston. QB Dan Persa and company are only five point underdogs.

As for those Hawkeyes… They’re at home this weekend against the Wisconsin Badgers. We saw what happened last week when the South Carolina Gamecocks went on the road the week after beating the top team in the country, as they were beaten by the Kentucky Wildcats. The Badgers are expected to do the same this weekend even though they are the slightly higher ranked team in this duel. Iowa is picked to win this sucker by 5.5 points at home.

In the Big XII, a pair of highly touted teams that are expected to meet in the Big XII Championship Game are going to hit the road and take on two up and comers that could spoil the party for them both. The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Missouri Tigers are both getting highly disrespected in their games this weekend, as both are undefeated and have looked rather flawless this year, yet are still underdogs. Both the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma Sooners had better be careful, as they can watch not only their Big XII title hopes go up in flames, but their BCS Championship dreams as well.

All eyes at 3:30 ET though, will be glued to the Tiger tale going on at Jordan Hare Stadium. The Auburn Tigers and LSU Tigers are going to have a major SEC West war, and the winner will have a tremendous inside track towards the SEC Championship Game. This could also be the last bump in the road for Auburn before the Iron Bowl to end the season, as it will clearly be a hefty favorite in the remainder of its regular season games prior to heading to Tuscaloosa. This should be a great battle between a Heisman Trophy contender in QB Cam Newton and a fantastic defense that hasn’t been penetrated easily on the season. LSU knows how to win big games on the road (just ask the Florida Gators), but Auburn seems to be a blessed team this year. Still, laying six points is a ton in a game like this.

For a change this week, it is neither the Boise State Broncos nor the TCU Horned Frogs that are the biggest favorites on the college football slate this week. The Stanford Cardinal take that distinction, as they are 35 point favorites over the Washington State Cougars. The Utah Utes, the last undefeated ATS team in the nation, will put that mark on the line against the Colorado State Rams as 30.5 point chalks.

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.

Complete List of Week 7 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

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.
