2014 NFL Week 7 Odds – Week 7 Lines Breakdown

October 15th, 2014 by Chad A. Dawkins | Posted in NFL Football   Comments Off on 2014 NFL Week 7 Odds – Week 7 Lines Breakdown

Listed below you will find the complete listing of all the NFL lines for all the upcoming week 7 matchups from JustBet Sportsbook.

Thursday, October 15th

New York (A) at New England (-9, 44) 8:25 pm EST CBS/NFL Network

The New York Jets and New England Patriots renew their bitter rivalry on Thursday night from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. The Jets have lost 5 straight games while New England has turned things around winning 2 straight.

Sunday, October 18th

Atlanta at Baltimore (-7, 49.5) 1:00 pm EST FOX

The Atlanta Falcons will try to get back in the win column after losing 3 straight, and will have a tough time doing so when they head to Baltimore to take on the 4-2 Ravens. The Ravens are coming off a dominating win at Tampa bay 48-17.

Minnesota at Buffalo (-6, 43.5) 1:00 pm EST FOX

The Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills are coming off losing efforts and will look to get back into the win column. Minnesota, losers of two straight, lost at Detroit in week 6 17-3. The Bills lost to New England 37-22 in what was their worst defensive performance this season.

Miami at Chicago (-3, 49) 1:00 pm EST CBS

The Miami Dolphins are coming off a heartbreaking loss losing to Green bay in the final seconds last Sunday, they’ll take on the Chicago Bears, who will be playing at home for just the second time this season.

New Orleans at Detroit (-2.5, 48.5) 1:00 pm EST FOX

The Detroit Lions will take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and the game will be missing two of the NFL’s more dynamic receiving threats. Detroit’s Calvin Johnson and the Saints’ Jimmy Graham will more than likely be ruled out. The Lions sit at 4-2, while the Saints sit at a disappointing 2-3.

Carolina at Green Bay (-7, 49) 1:00 pm EST FOX

The Carolina Panthers are coming off a tie to the Cincinnati Bengals, and will take on the 4-2 Green Bay Packers, winners of 3 straight. Cam Newton and the offense seems to be the strength of this team, as opposed to last year when the defense was dominant.

Cincinnati at Indianapolis (-3, 50) 1:00 pm EST CBS

The Cincinnati Bengals will have to put their past 2 games behind them when they take on the high octane offense of the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts won last Thursday night at Houston, while Cincinnati battled Carolina to a 37-37 tie.

Cleveland (-6, 45) at Jacksonville 1:00 pm EST CBS

The Cleveland Browns are cominng off a huge 31-10 victory over Pittsburgh and will try to avoid a letdown when they face the winless Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars almost notched their first win of the season last Sunday, but a last second field goal attempt was blocked.

Seattle (-7, 43.5) at St. Louis 1:00 pm EST FOX

The Seattle Seahawks sit at 3-2 and will be in an angry mood after losing at home to the upstart Dallas Cowboys. They’ll travel to St. Louis to take on the Rams, who are coming off a Monday night loss to San Francisco.

Tennessee at Washington (-5.5, 46) 1:00 pm EST CBS

Two struggling teams meet at FedEx Field when the Titans take on the Washington Redskins. The 1-5 Redskins have lost 4 in a row, while the Titans got a win last week against Jacksonville, just their second this season.

Kansas City at San Diego (-4, 45) 4:05 pm EST CBS

The Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Diego Chargers in a key AFC West tilt. Kansas City sits at 2-3 and are in a must-win situation, while San Diego sits at 5-1 and sit atop the division.

New York (N) at Dallas (-6.5, 48) 4:25 pm EST FOX

In what could be one of the better games of week 7, the New York Giants take on the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East clash. The Cowboys are coming off a big win in Seattle, while the Giants were embarrassed by Philadelphia on Sunday night.

Arizona (-3.5, 44) at Oakland 4:25 pm EST FOX

The Oakland Raiders almost got their first win of the season last Sunday, but lost to San Diego 31-28. They’ll welcome back Carson Palmer to the O.Co Coliseum, who played for Oakland prior to Arizona. The Cardinals sit atop the NFC West at 4-1 and are coming off a 10 point win over Washington.

San Francsisco at Denver 8:30 pm EST 8:30 pm EST NBC

The marquee matchup of week 7 will feature the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Denver Broncos from Sports Authority Field in Denver. Denver sits at 4-1, and are coming off a big win over Arizona. San Francisco will be playing on a short week, defeating St. Louis on Monday night 31-17.

Monday, October 20th

Houston at Pittsburgh (-3, 44.5) 8:25 pm EST ESPN 

The Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers meet in Heinz Field in Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football. Both teams sit at 3-3 and are coming off division losses, with the Steelers losing to Cleveland 31-10, and Hoston losing to Indianapolis 33-28.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday Night Football Prop Picks: Giants vs. Cowboys Predictions

Giants vs. CowboysOur New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys picks are set and ready to go at Bankroll Sports, but if you’re looking for a bit of a different way to take advantage of some of the Sunday Night Football prop bets, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to be breaking down some of the best NFL props on the board for Sunday Night Football, all of which come courtesy of Diamond Sportsbook.

Longest Touchdown in the Game Over 47.5 Yards – Last year when these two played, there wasn’t a single touchdown that went for more than 40 yards. That being said, this time around, we see a lot of potential, especially on New York’s side. The preseason opened up with a bomb of a touchdown from QB Eli Manning to WR Victor Cruz, and the matchup is there for that same thing to happen again in this one. Cruz is going to be running free in the slot quite a bit, especially with Dallas likely blitzing on over half of the team’s passing downs. Add in there the fact that RB DeMarco Murray has a keen nose for the big time play, and the makings are there that there will be at least one of these really long touchdowns when push comes to shove on Sunday Night Football.

DeMarco Murray -5.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards vs. David Wilson – We would have loved this NFL prop bet even more had RB Andre Brown not broken his leg in the preseason. That being said though, Head Coach Tom Coughlin very well could be counting on more than just Wilson to tote the rock in this one, and he might have to behind a very suspect offensive line that is going to likely be missing both C David Baas and T David Diehl. Murray is a man that is running with gusto right now, and ever since he was benched for that fumble in the preseason, he has been a man on a mission. We have a great feeling that Murray is going to be rumbling for at least 100 yards in this one, while Wilson might struggle to ever really get traction. Murray is clearly the better bet here.

Victor Cruz +12.5 Receiving Yards vs. Dez Bryant – Bryant catches absolutely everything that comes his way, but we aren’t all that sure that Cruz isn’t the better bet here. We’ve already highlighted the possibility that the salsa dancing star can make things happen in the slot in this one against a Dallas secondary that is relatively suspect, but we want to focus in on Bryant here. Last season in two games versus the G-Men, Bryant had just a total of nine catches. Yes, those nine catches did go for some big time yardage numbers, but even getting to 100 might not necessarily be enough in this one. We know that the Giants know what’s coming this week with Bryant (and Miles Austin) on the outside. What we don’t know is whether Cruz, who had two lackluster games last season against Dallas, can be stopped with the new blitzing scheme that is going to be in place for the boys from “Big D.”

NFL Prop Picks: New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins Props 12/3

Full Giants @ Redskins NFL Prop Sheet Listed Below

Washington RedskinsThe Washington Redskins and New York Giants are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 13 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.

Robert Griffin III Touchdown Passes Over/Under 1.5: This really feels like it should be a remotely easy prop, no? RG3 has thrown four TD passes in each of the last two games, and he should be able to do so against versus a New York team that he really torched and should have beaten when these teams clashes a few weeks ago. However, we’re not all that sure that this is going to be the case. Remember that the former Heisman Trophy winner had thrown for just eight touchdowns in the first nine games of his career. To think that we can get -125 on the fact that RG3 won’t get to two passing touchdown in this one is a heck of a price on an NFL prop that we think is going to be a total slam dunk. Robert Griffin III Touchdown Passes Under 1.5 (-125)

Eli Manning Touchdown Passes Over/Under 1.5: We’re going to go against Manning as well in this one. It’s a great price that we are getting on a man to not throw at least two touchdown passes. Granted, it’s going to be tough against a Washington defense that has allowed 22 passing touchdown this year, though we do have to note that after the first three weeks of the campaign, the team has averaged allowing just 1.44 TDs per game. Manning went three games without a touchdown before going off for three scores last week against the Green Bay Packers. What we have to remember though, is that in that game too, Manning completed just 53.3 percent of his passes. With such a low completion percentage and just 15 TDs on the season, three of which came last week, it really seems like a joke that he is -220 to throw two scores in this one. Eli Manning Touchdown Passes Under 1.5 (+170)

Victor Cruz Receiving Yards Over/Under 80.5: Cruz really hasn’t been totally healthy over the course of the last few weeks, and he only has accounted for 13 catches, 152 yards, and one score in his last four games. It’s not like this was a number that he was easily able to get to before this either, as he only exceeded 60 yards three times in his first seven games of the year as well. Cruz does have a favorable matchup against a team that he put up seven catches, 131 yards, and a TD against in Week 7, but we do have to remember that 77 of those yards came on just one play. Don’t be all that shocked if Cruz isn’t doing all that much salsa dancing when push comes to shove on Monday. Victor Cruz Receiving Yards Under 80.5 (-115)

Full Giants @ Panthers NFL Prop Sheet Listed Below

Eli Manning GiantsThe Carolina Panthers and New York Giants are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 3 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial Thursday Night Football matchup.

Total Sacks Over/Under 4: We really don’t like betting these sack props all that often, but in this case, we are going to make an exception. The Panthers know that there is absolutely no threat of the Giants running the ball in this one, and that means that they can pin their ears back and go after QB Eli Manning, who is going to be without RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who is also an underrated pass blocker, T David Diehl, arguably his best offensive lineman, and WR Hakeem Nicks and WR Domenik Hixon, his No. 1 and No. 3 receivers. We’re never going to count out the New York defensive front from getting its sack or two either even though QB Cam Newton is one of the best escape artists that the game has to offer. This should be a nice game for the two defensive lines, though both offensive lines are going to be scratching their heads as to how they are going to end up getting the job done against these ferocious rushes. Total Sacks Over 4 (-130)

Eli Manning Over/Under 290.5 Passing Yards: Manning threw for 500+ yards last week, so this should be no problem, right? Maybe not so much. Again, both Nicks and Hixon are out of the fold, and the receivers aside from WR Victor Cruz that are available just aren’t all that great, to say the least. Manning will hopefully have a better chance of playing this game from ahead than from behind, though you never really know about that either. The Carolina defense is going to be amped up to try to defend the pass this time around, and the unit really did well against the New Orleans Saints five days ago. This one could be tough sledding for the younger Manning, as he has to face the facts that he is really going into battle in this one from an offensive standpoint, basically all by himself. Eli Manning Under 290.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Victor Cruz Over/Under 6 Receptions: This is definitely a donkey type of play, but we just don’t see any other options out there. Who’s going to be catching the ball from Manning on Thursday night? Martellus Bennett? Okay, he’ll have a few. Rueben Randle? Ramses Barden? Who are these guys? There’s just nothing out there for Manning to work with in this one, but at least he has a rapport built up with Cruz the likes that he just doesn’t have with anyone else out there. And yes, Carolina is going to know that that’s coming, and it is going to overload on Cruz’s side with defenders, but that won’t matter. Eli just has to be good enough to work the ball to his top receiver at least a dozen times in this one, and more often than not, those passes are going to be completed. Victor Cruz Over 6 Receptions (-150)

Will Eli Manning Throw an Interception?: Of course he will. This is Eli that we’re talking about. Last week, Manning had three picks in the first half, and this week, he is in even worse shape, knowing that he doesn’t have his best and most reliable receiver. Carolina doesn’t have the greatest secondary in the world, but it does have a unit that can get to the football when it is loose. Manning will make at least one mistake in this game amongst the 45-50 throws that he is probably going to be asked to make, and when he does, we’ll cash one of the easiest -220 tickets of our lives. Eli Manning To Throw an Interception (-220)

Brandon LaFell Over/Under 51.5 Receiving Yards: We’re used to it being boom or bust for LaFell, but it is clear this year that he is receiving some more attention from QB Cam Newton. The Giants’ secondary, along with its offensive line and the rest of its team, is all banged up right now as well, and if DB Prince Amukamara doesn’t end up playing, LaFell might be the man that ends up getting sprung deep down the field. The way that Newton throws the ball, it only takes one great shot down the field to get LaFell 50+ yards, and we think that that is exactly what is going to happen in this one. Brandon LaFell Over 51.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Full Cowboys @ Giants NFL Prop Sheet Listed Below

The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys are set to get started with the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 1 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for the first game of the season.

Romo and ManningTotal Sacks Over/Under 4.5: On one glance, this prop should be really easy, right? After all, Jason Pierre-Paul should be good for a sack, as should DeMarcus Ware, and there are sure to be others that can get in on the action. Neither offensive line is all that great in pass coverage either, plus there was a game in which there were eight sacks between these teams just last year. Easy over, right? Not so fast. Over the course of the last six regular season games played between these two teams, three of the games featured no more than two sacks, and five of the six had four sacks or fewer. This is an easy one to get suckered into, but we aren’t buying it one bit. Dallas/New York Under 4.5 Sacks (+105)

Ahmad Bradshaw Over/Under 2.5 Receptions: Once upon a time, Bradshaw made for a good check down option for QB Eli Manning when he was under pressure. What we are seeing as time goes by though, is that Manning is getting more confident in his arm, and he is able to make throws down the field in the face of adversity. Parlay in there the fact that Bradshaw could be spending some more time on the bench with RB David Wilson cutting into his PT, and the feeling that we have is that there are just going to be fewer opportunities for the New York starting tailback to get the ball in his hands. We would be surprised to see him get three targets, let alone catch three balls. Bradshaw Under 2.5 Receptions (+100)

Tony Romo Over/Under 280.5 Passing Yards: This one is pretty cut and dry for us. Last year, Romo averaged just 261.5 passing yards per game, and he has never averaged more than 280 yards per game in a single season. He is going up against a New York defense that has held down its last six foes, one of which was QB Aaron Rodgers and one of which was QB Tom Brady to just 14.0 points per game. Romo also has averaged just 248.8 passing yards per game in his career against the G-Men, though it should be noted that one of those games was cut short because of a collarbone injury that he suffered. Take that game out, and the number is still 271.3 yards per game. Still, significantly more often than not, Romo is going to fail to reach this passing plateau, and we plan on taking full advantage of it. Romo Under 280.5 Passing Yards

Can the Giants Repeat? New York Giants 2013 Super Bowl 47 Odds

The New York Giants just won the Super Bowl for the second time under QB Eli Manning. But do the Giants 2013 Super Bowl odds justify backing them again? Check out the answer to the question: Will the Giants repeat as Super Bowl champions?

2012 New York Giants Offense
The biggest thing that the G-Men have going for them this coming season is that Manning has clearly jumped into that elite status of NFL quarterbacks. He has probably surpassed his brother, and really with the exception of perhaps Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees, there probably isn’t another quarterback that you would put on the list ahead of the younger Manning. He threw for 4,933 yards this year with 29 TDs against 16 INTs. Sure, the pick total was high, but Manning made up for it by having a knack for winning games at the end when all looked lost.

The emergence of WR Victor Cruz was key this year. That gave Manning a solid set of receivers to throw the pigskin to. He had 1,536 yards, while WR Hakeem Nicks had 1,192 yards, and WR Mario Manningham had 523 yards. TE Jake Ballard suffered a knee injury during the Super Bowl, but assuming that he is okay, he is going to one of the sneakier tight ends in the league next year. Ballard averaged 15.9 yards per catch and had 604 yards.

RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs were both hurt for pieces of the season, and the two only ended up rushing for a total of 1,230 yards with 16 scores. Both averaged under 4.0 yards per carry, and that shows that the offensive line is clearly going to need some work going forward.

2012 New York Giants Defense
Defensively, it is all about the pass rush. The play of rookie DB Prince Amukamara improved as the season went on, but he will look like a great starter next year as long as the trio of DEs, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul continue to be dominating. The questions that are to be asked of this defense, which ranked No. 27 in the league at 376.4 yards per game and No. 25 in scoring at 25.0 points per game in the regular season, are going to be at linebacker, where the team just isn’t all that great.

2012 New York Giants Contracts & Free Agents
Free agency shouldn’t be all that bad on the Giants this year. Ballard is a free agent, as is Manningham, and they will probably be the top priorities on offense to resign. OLs Stacy Andrews and Kareem McKenzie are both free agents to be. On the other side of the ball, DB Aaron Ross is sure to be in for a big payday from someone, while S Deon Grant is free as well. LB Chase Blackburn is likely in line for a new contract, and the team is also going to have to address the situation with at punter and backup quarterback if QB David Carr and P Steve Weatherford are not resigned.

2012 New York Giants Schedule
The schedule next year for the Giants is going to be brutal. The team is obviously going to have to play a first place schedule, meaning the Green Bay Packers will once again be on the slate. The other non-divisional home games are against the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The non-divisional road games are against the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Raven, and Cincinnati Bengals. Needless to say, it is going to be a heck of a lot different now that the Giants have to play against the NFC South instead of the NFC West, and those games against the teams in the AFC North are certainly not going to be easy.

The Giants Super Bowl odds are 15 to 1 at Bovada.lv, making them the eighth favorite. They were never really the favorites at any point over the course of this season either, especially with the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles in the same division with them. In the end, this is a brutal schedule for New York to have to play, especially if it isn’t going to win games like the two against the Washington Redskins that it was defeated in this past year. We aren’t even all that sure that the Giants are going to make the playoffs next year, and at this point, we wouldn’t want to back a team at these types of 2013 Super Bowl odds, especially when the team was brutally inconsistent all season long.

Key #1: Eli Manning has to continue to get the job done in the clutch
Call it whatever you want to call it. Eli has guts. The younger Manning brother was sacked six times and nailed countless others by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, but even though he was in a position where he was absolutely brutalized, when his back was against the wall, he got the job done. In fact, that “back against the wall” mentality is what brought the G-Men their first Super Bowl in the Manning era, and it will be what has to happen again this year. It is clear that QB Tom Brady has the better passing game in our eyes with the flexibility at the tight end spot. However, in the end, when the going gets tough, it is Eli that is going to have a shot with the ball in his hands to make something special happen. It might be to lead a comeback. It might be to preserve a lead. It might be to make the big throw in a seemingly impossible position. Yet at some point, Manning is going to need to make a play, and regardless of how well or not well he has played in the game to that point, he is going to have to find some way, against all odds, to make the play that helps New York win this game.

Key #2: The ground game cannot be stuck in neutral
The first time that these two teams played this year, 25 carries combined from RBs Brandon Jacobs and Danny Ware needed 95 yards on the ground. It wasn’t enough to consider the New York offense even remotely balanced, as the team threw it 39 times on the day, but it was just enough to win the time of possession battle and give Manning the ability to throw the ball around the field. RB Ahmad Bradshaw was out of the lineup in that first meeting of the year, as was WR Hakeem Nicks. The addition of these two is crucial to say the least, but if Bradshaw and Jacobs can’t get the ball going on the ground, these three fantastic wide receivers that Manning has at his disposal could effectively be taken out of the game. These two had a combined 23 carries for 87 yards in the Super Bowl four years ago, but there was a lot more pressure on them to carry the offense with the very young Manning under the gun.

Key #3: Blitz, blitz, and blitz some more
Actually, we probably don’t have the right terminology for this. The Giants don’t necessarily need to blitz, but they absolutely have to get in the backfield on defense and get the ball out of QB Tom Brady’s hands in a heartbeat. If Brady can hold onto the football in the backfield for long periods of time, TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski will have plenty of time to get open and find seams in the defense. That just isn’t going to cut it to say the least. All of a sudden over the course of the last few weeks, men like DE Jason Pierre-Paul and DE Osi Umenyiora are finding ways to get around the corner and into the backfield in a hurry. Penetration is going to have to come straight at Brady as well, as it was when the pass rush was in his face that he made mistakes all season long against some of the best defenses in the game. Sure, generating that pass rush with just four or five guys will make life a lot easier on some suspect corners, but running bump and run and getting guys in the backfield in a hurry will do wonders as well. If the Giants can’t dial up some blitz packages and knock down Brady, they aren’t going to have success in this game.
