Listed below you will find the complete rundown and list of all the 2013 NFL Football week 12 odds, including spreads, totals and moneylines, for all the upcoming games including the Thanksgiving day matchups for Thursday.

It should be quite the interesting week of NFL betting action in Week 7, as some of the top teams in the league square off against one another with playoff positioning firmly being on the line. Don’t miss our look at the Week 7 odds and all of the NFL betting lines for this week.

There’s no game on the board this week that is more important than the clash between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. Simply put, this is the biggest regular season game that the Colts have played since moving to Baltimore. They are taking on their former QB Peyton Manning, a legend in Indianapolis and a man for whom many teenagers are named for both in Indiana and in Tennessee. You won’t find a more loved man in the city that doesn’t currently play for the Colts, and there is going to be a huge tribute to Manning for what he did in Indy prior to this game. It should be emotional for sure, and we expect that Manning is going to be in his element playing in his old home. The Broncos, who have the best team in football right now, are -6.5 in this one, and that makes them the second biggest road favorites of the weekend. This game also features a ‘total’ of 56, the highest of the weekend.

The other road favorites of note and substance this weekend are the San Diego Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football this week, while the Bolts are going against the winless (and hapless) Jacksonville Jaguars. Seattle is giving 5.5 in this one, which is a far cry from the 58-0 score that these two teams played to last year. Don’t be shocked if this one is about some payback in the NFC West, as the Cards can get within just one game of the division lead if they can pull off this shocker. Jacksonville meanwhile, is the biggest home underdog of the weekend, as it is a 7.5-point pup. However, with the Chargers flying across the country and playing at 10:00 AM local time game the week after playing on Monday Night Football, the deck is stacked in favor of the hosts. If there was ever a game in which Jacksonville was going to beat a good team, this would be the game.

And then there are some games this weekend that just look flat out weird. The San Francisco 49ers are only laying four on the road against the Tennessee Titans, who are still using QB Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers are -6.5 and bordering on -7 at home against the St. Louis Rams in a battle of teams that, at least on paper, look relatively comparable. The Washington Redskins have a significantly worse record than the Chicago Bears, and the argument could be made that these two teams will finish nowhere near each other this year. However, off of their bye week, QB Robert Griffin III and the Redskins are only a pick ’em at home against Chicago, insinuating that this could be the best game of the day on the Week 7 betting lines. Perhaps the oddest of the odd? The New York Jets are only +3.5 at home against the New England Patriots, who feel like they should be favored by at least a TD in this one.

Not every game is complete lopsided by looks, though. The Houston Texans are in desperate need of a victory, and they are going to try to snap their four-game losing streak against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs just broke the record for the loudest crowd road ever at an NFL game at 137.7 dB, and you know that this is going to be amped up for this game against the two-time defending AFC South champs. QB Matt Schaub is highly suspect at this point, and he is questionable for this game with a leg injury. The Houston offense needs any spark that it can get. The Texans are sharp for sure, and they are +6.5 on the road at Arrowhead. This game features the lowest ‘total’ of the day at 39.5, and it is one of the four games on the docket with ‘totals’ of 41 or lower, making it the lowest scoring week by average ‘total’ in NFL betting action this year.

The Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals were both laughing stocks for a number of years, but now, they are both division leaders with a chance to really put their foot down in their respective divisions. The Bengals are on the road at Ford Field, where they are getting 2.5, though Detroit is still wondering if it is going to have its best offensive weapon, WR Calvin Johnson ready to go in this game.

The Philadelphia Eagles are -2.5 at home with QB Nick Foles calling the shots against the Dallas Cowboys in a game where first place is on the line in the NFC East. The Miami Dolphins are -7.5 at home against the Buffalo Bills, who could be starting either QB Thad Lewis or the newly acquired QB Matt Flynn under center this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting 7.5 against the Atlanta Falcons, who also have injury problems the likes of which you wouldn’t believe. When he gets in the huddle on Sunday, the only skill player that might be looking back at QB Matt Ryan that was starting the season in that huddle is TE Tony Gonzalez. WR Roddy White, WR Julio Jones, and RB Steven Jackson all expect to be sitting this one out.

In the 4:00 ET hour, the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to salvage their season, something that they will be able to accomplish if they can beat the NFL betting lines against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers are -2.5 at home against the defending Super Bowl champs. Elsewhere, the Green Bay Packers, even without LB Clay Matthews and WR Randall Cobb, are -10.5 at home against the Cleveland Browns.

Sadly, the worst game of the week is probably the Monday Night Football game. The winless New York Giants are favored by 3.5 to get their first victory of the campaign against the one-win Minnesota Vikings, who are going to be starting QB Josh Freeman, marking their third starting quarterback thus far in six games on the season.

The sixth week of NFL betting action commences on Thursday night for some of the biggest and best teams in the league, as we will see a number of teams that are fighting for their lives try to right their seasons, and some teams continuing the quest for perfection.

The biggest story of the weekend is probably the biggest NFL point spread of the weekend. The Denver Broncos are giving 27 at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and that makes this the biggest single game spread in the history of NFL betting. Will it close that way, though? That’s still a bit of a mystery. Early action was on Jacksonville last week when WagerWeb Sportsbook posted the game at Denver -26, but we’ll see what happens now that Jacksonville has become the first team in NFL history to lose its first five games by 10+ points. It is clear that this is the worst team in football, and regardless of whether it is QB Blaine Gabbert or QB Chad Henne, things are going to be disgusting. QB Peyton Manning has put up just gobs of numbers, and for as long as he wants to be in this game, he is going to be doing even more damage. We would be shocked to see Manning throw for fewer than four TDs in this game on Sunday, and the scariest part is that it is going to take more than that to cover the number.

What’s almost as remarkable is the fact that the San Francisco 49ers are 11-point favorites against the Arizona Cardinals, yet they are the third biggest favorites of the day. The other team in the NFC West of note, the Seattle Seahawks are -14 against the Tennessee Titans, who remain to be a 3-2 team that is right in the thick of the fight of the playoff picture. There is obviously a lot of good coming here for these teams that are heavily favored, and it would be a shock to see any of them even remotely fail on the Week 6 odds in spite of those huge numbers.

Thursday Night Football is a dream waiting to happen for the Chicago Bears’ defense. This is a team that prides itself on forcing turnovers and making life a living hell on opposing quarterbacks. Enter the New York Giants, who have the most turnovers in football, and it isn’t even all that close. QB Eli Manning has already chumped up 10 picks this year, and his G-Men are off to an 0-5 start. Losing this one would put the team three back in the division with just 10 games to play, and the hope of a turnaround would be fading out once and perhaps for all. New York is getting 7.5 in this one, and it would be a miracle if the team could just salvage its first cover of the campaign in this one.

What we’re not seeing all that much of on the Week 6 betting lines are road favorites. The Green Bay Packers are giving three to the Baltimore Ravens in what should be one of the better games of the day, while the team that they are chasing, the Detroit Lions, are -2.5 on the road against the Cleveland Browns, who are forced to turn back to QB Brandon Weeden under center. Meanwhile in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are still in search of their first win of the season, are -3 on the road against the New York Jets, and their division mates, the Cincinnati Bengals are -7 on the road against the Buffalo Bills. We’ve mentioned four games here, and two of the underdogs, the Bills and the Browns have the same problem. They’re both playing without their starting quarterbacks. We’ve already mentioned the QB Brian Hoyer injury that has put Weeden back in the saddle, but Buffalo has lost its second quarterback right now, as QB EJ Manuel has an LCL injury that is going to keep him out for a couple of weeks.

The Bills made their effort to sign QB Josh Freeman this week, but that right went to the Minnesota Vikings instead. Freeman is going to make $3M this year from the Vikes and over $8M from the team that cut him, Tampa Bay, and we aren’t all that sure if he is going to step in and start right away or not. QB Matt Cassel led Minnesota to its first win of the year two weeks ago in London, and he figures to start on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, where the Vikes are -2. As far as those Bucs are concerned, they’re a pick ’em at home against the Philadelphia Eagles (that’s the division leading Philadelphia Eagles to you!). Philly doesn’t know yet if QB Nick Foles or QB Michael Vick will be starting after Vick’s hamstring acted up against New York on Sunday, so that will be an interesting development to watch as the week wears on.

We have yet to make mention of the fact that the Houston Texans are -6.5 at home against the St. Louis Rams, as QB Matt Schaub tries to avoid becoming the first quarterback in league history to throw a pick six in five straight games, but that’s clearly not amongst the best games of the day. In the 4:00 ET hour though, the clash between the New Orleans Saints and the New England Patriots is. New England is giving 2.5 in this one, but New Orleans remains the only undefeated team in the NFC, and it is surely going to put up a heck of a fight. It’s not often that you see a pair of surefire Hall of Fame quarterbacks doing battle with one another, but QB Drew Brees and QB Tom Brady absolutely fit the bill.

Sunday Night Football should be a good one this week, as the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys battle for first place in the NFC East. The Cowboys are coming off of that crippling loss to the Broncos last week, and they badly need to bounce back in this one. If they don’t, they’re going to be in a lot of hot water. The Redskins haven’t shown much yet this year, but they are +4.5 and would qualify as a big upset if they were able to pull this one out of their hat.

On Monday Night Football in Week 6, the San Diego Chargers have to play once again. The Bolts have already played a Sunday night game that started at 11:35 p.m. ET and a Monday night game that started at 10:10 p.m. ET, so playing at odd times is nothing new to them. For the Indianapolis Colts though, this is a huge game. They knocked off the Seahawks last week, and they can put their foot on the gas pedal in the AFC South if they can win this game. They’re -1 on the road, and the oddsmakers aren’t showing much in the way of confidence that they can get the job done.

Surprisingly, the highest ‘total’ of the week actually isn’t the game between Brees and Brady as you would figure. The Colts and Jaguars have the highest number of the week at 51.5, and the implied team total here for the Broncos is 39.5 points, an absolutely insane number by the NFL’s standard.

We do have to mention that there are some games that have started off the week as of Sunday night off the board, and that could change some of the numbers around. However, the lowest ‘total’ of the games that are on the board right now pits the Jets against the Steelers, where the ‘total’ is only 40. The Titans and Seahawks get an honorable mention at 40.5, while the Raiders and the Chiefs are set at 41 to open up Week 6.

The Week 5 NFL odds are out and ready to go, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are breaking down all of the NFL gambling odds for what should be another remarkable week of play on the gridiron.

Are there legitimately playoff teams that are huge underdogs on the Week 5 NFL betting lines? You bet there are! The biggest of those underdogs comes in what might be the best game of the week between the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans. The Texans have dropped two games in a row, and they very well could be an 0-4 team at this point if not for a few breaks in the second halves of games. They haven’t had a game that this year in which they haven’t trailed in either the second half or overtime, and they are going on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers. It’s a tough game for sure, but as proof as to how far these two teams have come of late… The last time these two met at Candlestick Park was in 2005, and the #1 pick in the NFL Draft was on the line in Week 17. Houston lost the game, won the #1 pick, and took DE Mario Williams, who has since left via free agency. The Niners did knock off the Rams last week, but is the sky still falling? For the losing team, dropping to 2-3 is going to leave a lot of questions to be answered. The Niners are giving a touchdown in one of the biggest NFL point spreads we have seen in a Texans game in quite some time.

Meanwhile, the favorites in the NFC East and the leaders in the clubhouse in the division, the Dallas Cowboys are going to be playing a tough battle against the Denver Broncos. Not only are the Cowboys also +7, but they are +7 at home! Denver though, has been mowing through teams, and it is on a pace to just shatter every single record known to man offensively. It’s really unreal to think of the numbers that QB Peyton Manning is putting up at this point with this team, and things are only going to get better and better as the second quarter of the season wears on. This is the first really tough road test of the season though, and it is one that many will be excited to see if the Broncos can figure out how to pass with flying colors.

And finally, the Detroit Lions, who are 3-1 through four games and sitting atop of the NFC North, are +6.5 on the road against the Green Bay Packers. Once again, this is a huge number, and it is one that is going to be tough to beat, even for a Green Bay team that took its bye week last week and is hoping to get healthy, especially at the running back position. With all three of its running backs getting banged up in the last couple of weeks, the Packers have some explaining to do in this one. We know that they’ll score some points through the air, but can they slow down QB Matthew Stafford and the gang? Stafford’s offense has looked fantastic thus far this year, and the Lions put up 40 last week against the high-octane Chicago defense.

The biggest favorites of the weekend though, are the St. Louis Rams. It’s tough to think that a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in quite some time is actually capable of laying 13 points, but without us even saying a thing, you know that it is the Jacksonville Jaguars that are coming to town. The Rams are on a long week of preparation for this game, and they are getting a lame team that is seemingly destined to go 1-15 or worse this year. QB Blaine Gabbert is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL, and it really doesn’t matter whether it is Gabbert or QB Chad Henne, the title is likely the same. If St. Louis doesn’t bounce back from its bad loss to San Fran in this one, there’s no way to fix this team. This is a get well game in every sense of the word for this defense.

Aside from these games that we have mentioned though, there isn’t a single point spread that has opened up at bigger than 4.5 points on Thursday or Sunday. The San Diego Chargers are giving 4.5 on the road against an Oakland Raiders team that just handed the Redskins their first win of the season last week. Oakland’s quarterback situation is still murky. QB Matt Flynn started last week against Washington, but we have to think that it is going to be QB Terrelle Pryor that is getting the call once again to start off on the Week 5 odds as long as he finishes passing his concussion tests.

The next two biggest NFL points spreads in Week 5 are both in primetime games. The second biggest spread of the week thus far pits the New York Jets at +8.5 against the Atlanta Falcons, while the Cleveland Browns are -3.5 against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. We have to think that this is going to be the third straight start for QB Brian Hoyer, who has led the Browns to a pair of wins thus far on the season, which is more than we can say for QB Brandon Weeden, who was 0-2 in his two starts before getting hurt, and perhaps Wally Pipped.

(Note: This article is written as of Sunday evening. The current NFL betting odds for Week 5 are below. The games between the Patriots and Bengals and the Chiefs and Titans are both off the board at the moment and will be expected to open up later in the week.)

There are definitely some more quirks about the Week 5 NFL schedule that are just completely off the wall. Two more playoff teams from last year, the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts are both underdogs. The Colts are three-point dogs at home against the Seattle Seahawks, while the Ravens are +3 at the Miami Dolphins. The Indy/Seattle game is the far more interesting contest. It’s the second straight week that Seattle is going to have to fly a long ways to play a 1:00 ET game on the road, and it is going to come with a lot of offensive linemen not on the field. The Colts have continued to soar, as they have now rolled to two victories in a row after losing to Miami at home in Week 2, a loss that really had fans screaming that perhaps something was really wrong with this team. This will be one of the better games on the docket.

But the biggest quirk? The winless New York Giants are actually favored by two points at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Giants fans, fret not! Yes, the G-Men are 0-4 this year, but if they win this game and the Cowboys lose as they are supposed to against the Broncos, they are going to be just a game back five games into the season. Now THAT’S how you know your division is brutal. In fairness to New York, this is the first game this season that the team is going to be favored in by more than a single point. The Eagles have been a wreck since their first half of the season, and wonder is certainly there if the rest of the league has figured out Head Coach Chip Kelly and his offense (or whether they are just exploiting his defense!).

The New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears are meeting in a contrast of styles. The Bears would much rather play a slowed down game that features a lot of defense, while the Saints are going to race up and down the field. Chicago watched its perfect start to the season go by the boards when it was beaten by the Lions last week in a game that was nowhere near as close as an eight-point final score suggests.

To round out the card, the Carolina Panthers are -1 on the road against the Arizona Cardinals, who perhaps aren’t getting all that much respect at 2-2. The Panthers are coming off of their bye week though, so they might have a few new tricks up their sleeve after the long week of rest.

Even with two games off the board at the moment, there is very little doubt as to what the highest ‘totals’ and the lowest ‘totals’ of the week are going to be. No game is going to end up being lower than that Thursday nighter between the Bills and the Browns. Hoyer and QB EJ Manuel don’t exactly put a lot of confidence in bettors, especially with as badly as Buffalo has managed to protect the rookie in the pocket this year. The number to beat is 41.5, and we think that it is very interesting to continue to see how games played with teams on short weeks #1 tend to be unpredictable and #2 tend to feature lower scoring games. The only game that is going to remotely close to this number this week is the one between the Rams and the Jaguars, mainly because the Jacksonville offense has now gone over 30 first half drives without a touchdown. Do keep in mind that the game between the Chiefs and the Titans could end up with a number lower than this if QB Jake Locker, who was injured on Sunday, is indeed out for the game.

On the other end of the spectrum, nothing should be all that surprising. Once again, the Broncos have one of the highest ‘totals’ of the week. And oh, why not? The team already has 179 points scored this season, which we’d be willing to bet could end up being fewer points than the Jaguars will score for the entire season. Depending upon the number you got, all four Denver games could have ended in covers, and all four Denver games have gone past the ‘total’, so the 55 shouldn’t even seem like that high of a number at this point.

The highest ‘total’ of the week though, pits the Giants and their sieve of a defense against the Eagles and their sieve of a defense. These two teams have combined to give up 831 yards and 71 points per game this year, and those are just downright bad numbers. Philly’s offense is still putting up plenty of numbers, but the defense is really holding this unit back in a big time way. The number to beat is 56, and not surprisingly, this is the biggest ‘total’ of the weekend.

Remember when the Lions and the Packers would easily have the highest ‘total’ in any given week if they played against each other on the NFL betting lines? 52 is a high number, but this time around, it’s just third best.

A great week on the Week 4 NFL betting lines is already getting started here at Bankroll Sports, and we are zeroing in on the best and the brightest NFL betting lines that are on the board for the week ahead!

Note: All NFL betting lines listed for the purposes of this article were posted at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, 9/22. For the most up to date Week 4 NFL Vegas odds, please check below

Week 4’s Thursday Night Football game is going to be a doozy of a battle, as the San Francisco 49ers are going to take on the St. Louis Rams. These two teams could go back and forth with each other in the NFC West all season long. This is a crucial one for San Fran especially, which already lost a road game in division once this year from just two weeks ago. QB Colin Kaepernick and the gang have still looked good aside from that game against the Seahawks, but this is a big test on the road against a team that is ready for a bounceback after losing two straight suspect games. If St. Louis is going to get back into the chase in the NFC West, this is a game that it has to win. However, the Week 4 odds suggest that the 49ers are going to end up being at their best in this one, as they are favored by 3.5.

Fast forwarding to Sunday, we see that there are plenty of games that are expected to be close. In fact, there is only one game on the NFL opening lines where one team is favored by more than 7.5 points over another team, and that’s the clash on the road when the Denver Broncos take on the Philadelphia Eagles. QB Peyton Manning and the gang have looked great through two games thus far this year, and this should merely be a bump in the road. We’ll have to see how Head Coach Chip Kelly can get his team ready with an extended week of practice. Remember that this is the first time this year that the Eagles are playing a game on more than just five days of rest plus a day of travel, and they could be much better because of it. That said, going all the way to Mile High isn’t going to be fun for anyone this year, and it’s not surprising that in spite of that fact, the Eagles are getting 13. It’s going to be tough for this offense to get going in the thin air unless it is appropriately trained, and this is one thing that Kelly and QB Michael Vick couldn’t possibly be getting ready for in the City of Brotherly Love.

The only other game featuring NFL point spreads of greater than 6 is when the Indianapolis Colts, who look much better offensively with RB Trent Richardson in the fold, head to the Sunshine State to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville has now been blown out by double digits in three straight games to start the season, and there is no turning back in this one. The Jags are +7.5, and this is a number that could get worse as the week goes on.

The one common thread that is apparent in Week 4 is the fact th that there are a ton of games that feature road favorites of varying degrees. We’ve already spoken about the Colts, but the Cincinnati Bengals are -5 at the Dawg Pound against the suddenly inspiring Cleveland Browns. Leave it up to Cleveland to trade its best player in RB Trent Richardson and find a way to win the next week with a backup quarterback. QB Brian Hoyer threw for 321 yards and three TDs last week, and that might create some real quarterback controversy for the Browns regardless of whether QB Brandon Weeden is healthy or not. Cincy is -5, but these divisional road games are always particularly tough, especially in the AFC North.

The Baltimore Ravens, fresh off of their upset over the Houston Texans last week, are going to be heading on the road this week to take on the Buffalo Bills, who badly need a win if they are going to stick around as potential contenders for the playoffs in the AFC. Baltimore is giving 4.5-points in spite of the fact that its offense really hasn’t done all that much impressive this year.

Perhaps the oddest spots for road favorites this week are on the West Coast against AFC West teams. Oh sure, the Dallas Cowboys have done everything that they can to deserve being -2 against the San Diego Chargers, but an 0-3 team traveling across the country is a favorite? That’s the situation that the Washington Redskins are in against the Oakland Raiders. Be very wary of this one, especially knowing that the buzzards are already starting to swarm around Head Coach Mike Shanahan.

The best game of the day on Sunday featuring a road favorite is the clash between the Seattle Seahawks and the Houston Texans. The Seahawks are looking the part of the best team in football right now, but this is a tough road trip against a Houston team that needs to prove that it can stick with the big boys. Remember last season when the Texans beat up the Ravens by 30 at home? This could be the same type of game if the Seahawks aren’t careful. That said, even on the road, Seattle is giving a field goal, and that could be a recipe for disaster for the visitors.

Elsewhere on Sunday on the NFL betting lines… The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are -3 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Kansas City Chiefs are six-point favorites to improve to 4-0 against the already 0-3 New York Giants. The Tennessee Titans are -5.5 at home against the New York Jets as well.

Sunday Night Football in Week 4 pits the New England Patriots up against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons still don’t totally look right, but they are going against a New England team that really hasn’t faced any quality opponent this year. On the road in primetime is going to be quite the test for QB Tom Brady and the gang, though we fully expect to see TE Rob Gronkowski back in this game for the Pats. That could be the great equalizer. New England is just a pick ’em in this clash of two teams that were expected to challenge on the Super Bowl odds this year.

On Monday Night Football, the New Orleans Saints are giving 4.5 to the Miami Dolphins. These two teams both missed out on the playoffs last year, but there is no doubt that both teams are going to be in a position to challenge this year in their respective divisions. Points could be aplenty in this one, especially knowing that QB Drew Brees is just 300 passing yards away from tying the record for the most consecutive 300+ yard games in NFL history. Brees is currently at eight. The NFL record is nine.

Week 3 of the 2013 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2011 Week 3 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 3 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this week…

There’s really a little something for everyone this week on the Week 3 NFL odds, knowing that there are some games that really could be blowouts and a ton of games that could be really close.

We’ll start though, with the 0-2 teams that are really in need of wins. There wasn’t a single team last season that started at 0-2 that made the playoffs, and history isn’t kind to teams that start off the campaign with a pair of defeats. It’s even less kind when you start 0-3, and it’s basically darn near impossible to get the job done from anything worse than that. That’s why the game between the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants is so darn important. Neither team made the playoffs last season, and both need to get in this year if they want to ensure that their head coach will be back for next season. Both have been disappointing at 0-2, but in fairness, only one of the four games that were played between these featured one of them being favored. Carolina is giving 1 in the game, a clear sign that this one could go either way.

That’s a close call for sure, but the oddsmakers are having an insanely tough time separating most of these teams this week. Nine of the 16 games feature spreads of three points or fewer, and that’s as many as we ever see of the sorts.

From the top of the NFL rotation schedule, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are going to war on Thursday Night Football, and of course, that means the return of Head Coach Andy Reid to the City of Brotherly Love with his new team. It will be interesting to see how the fans in Philly react to Reid wearing a red polo on the sidelines for a change. What’s most important though, is that the winner of this one is going to have a huge leg up for the rest of the year. A 3-0 start would be crucial for the Chiefs, who are trying to turn around the worst team in football from a season ago. Meanwhile, a 2-1 start for the Eagles would be proof that the Head Coach Chip Kelly style is indeed working. Remember that this is the third game in just 17 days for Philly though, and for the way that it gets up to the line of scrimmage and goes, this is could be a real problem. The Eagles are -3, but we know that KC has a very good chance to take the spoils in this one.

The San Diego Chargers and Tennessee Titans are both 1-1, and both blew leads to the Texans this year that kept them from being 2-0. These two teams have high hopes for Wild Card bids this year, and at least one of them might end up getting it. This game could go a long way in deciding all of that. The Bolts are getting three on the road, and they have to be careful with this being their second straight trip all the way East.

Points could be flying all over the place for the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins, as two of the young gun quarterbacks in the league in QB Matthew Stafford and QB Robert Griffin III do battle with one another. Washington badly needs to a win to get out of that 0-2 rut that we spoke of earlier, and it is -1 to get that donut out of the win column. The Miami Dolphins are also -3 at home against the Atlanta Falcons in one of the bigger games of the day in the 4:00 ET hour, while another AFC East team, the New York Jets are -1 at home against the Buffalo Bills in another of the late games.

However, what we are seeing this week as well is the fact that a lot of teams are on the road and laying just a small number of points as well. Generally speaking, that’s bad news for the road teams, but in this case, there are a lot of those roadies that seem to perhaps be sharper plays than normal due to the fact that the teams that are at home are darn good.

They all also have something in common this week as well. All three teams that are home underdogs are from the AFC North. The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing on Sunday Night Football against the Chicago Bears and are +2.5 at home. The Cincinnati Bengals are getting 2.5 from the Green Bay Packers at Paul Brown Stadium. And finally, the Houston Texans are -2.5 at the Baltimore Ravens. Of course, in the AFC North, all of the teams are still in the thick of the fight, though Pittsburgh clearly looks the part of the worst of the three teams. Cincinnati looks the best of the bunch, but it probably has the toughest game this week against the Pack, who have a history of going on the road and winning these big games… as long as they don’t come against teams from the NFC West…

The New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots are both laying a touchdown this week against the Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers respectively. If either one of those two favored teams lose this week, there could be some real questions to answer, especially if it is New England losing at home to a completely dysfunctional Tampa Bay outfit. In middlng games, the Dallas Cowboys are -3.5 against the St. Louis Rams, and the Minnesota Vikings are -5.5 at home against the Cleveland Browns in the other battle of 0-2 teams.

What’s left on the docket that has yet to be discussed are all games that figure to be blowouts when push comes to shove, and they’re all games that are going to be played later on in the day on Sunday and on Monday.

In the 4:00 ET hour on Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts head West to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is going to be battling it out with the team that he put on his shoulders in the playoffs time and time again to earn himself the moniker of “Captain Comeback.” His Niners are giving 10 in this one, but we know that QB Andrew Luck has the ability to win this game if he can play at his best.

Meanwhile, the last two games that we have yet to talk about are the two biggest NFL point spreads that we have seen all season long. The Denver Broncos are -14.5 on Monday Night Football at home against the Oakland Raiders, while the Seattle Seahawks are -19.5 at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Seattle can creep up to -20 in this game, it will be just the 10th time since 1985 that a team is favored by at least 20 points in a game, and a good chunk of the rest of those times belonged to the undefeated New England team that went 18-0 before losing in the Super Bowl to the Giants.

‘Totals’ have taken a bit of a step back this week. There is only one game lined in the 50s, and that’s the Thursday nighter between the Chiefs and Eagles. The number to beat is 50.5, which is the lowest ‘total’ thus far this year in a Philly game. We have to remember though, that the Chiefs have played two games that have come nowhere near the ‘total’, and if there is a man that knows all of the quirks of all of those high-flying players on offense, it’s Coach Reid.

There are some low ones this week as well, though none are lower than the 39 on the board between the Jets and the Bills, something that is to be expected from two teams that have two rookie quarterbacks under center. The Bears and Steelers are only featuring a ‘total’ of 40, while the Jags and Seahawks are lined at just 40.5. Jacksonville’s implied team total is just 10.5, which is the lowest number that we have seen on the board for any team this year.

One week of NFL betting action is in the books, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are set to give it a go with our Week 2 NFL betting lines. Join us as we break down all 16 of the games on the NFL rotation schedule and check out which ones have the hottest bets to place.

For the second straight weekend, the New England Patriots are going to be the biggest favorites on the NFL odds, and we still aren’t all that sure that they are that good. This time, they’ve got the New York Jets coming to town for the home opener in Foxboro, but we still see a heck of a lot of problems. RB Stevan Ridley is fumbling the ball all over the place, while RB Shane Vereen is now going to join TE Rob Gronkowski on the sidelines injured. The receivers don’t really look like they have much of a clue as to where they are running routes to on a regular basis, and that’s going to prove to be problematic going forward. QB Geno Smith won the first start of his career against the Bucs, but this is a much, much different task going on the road to Foxboro on a short week of preparation against the behemoths of the division.

Last week, we had a ton of very close NFL point spreads, but this week, the numbers are a lot more spread out. There are eight spreads that are featuring at least 6.5 points or more, and a lot of those games wouldn’t have been set this high even just a week ago.

For example, on Monday Night Football, the Cincinnati Bengals are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just last week before any game kicked off, the Bengals were slated to be -1.5 in that game. Now, after Pittsburgh looked so horrid in its opener against the Titans, it has risen all the way up to +6.5. Of course, injuries have a lot to do with that, knowing that the Steelers lost three players, most notably OL Maurkice Pouncey to season ending injuries on Sunday as well. The bottom line for Pittsburgh though, is that it cannot run the football to save its life for the second straight season, and regardless of who is back there, we don’t see any improvement. About the only good news for Pittsburgh is that everyone lost in Week 1 in the AFC North, and the possibility is there to rebound. Still, QB Andy Dalton looks the better of the two quarterbacks in this game at this point, and it is very justifiable to think that the Bengals could open at -6.5.

Other teams that are favored by 6.5 on Sunday include the Chicago Bears over the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers over the Washington Redskins, the Baltimore Ravens over the Cleveland Browns, and perhaps most interesting of them all, the Philadelphia Eagles over the San Diego Chargers. There was a lot of respect here for the Chargers after a half of football against the Texans on Monday, but in the end, they were demoralized, getting beaten 31-28 after giving up 24 unanswered points to end the game. Philly meanwhile, has seen its stock shoot upward immediately. The Eagles were slight underdogs against the Redskins last week, and they turned out a tremendous performance, including running 53 plays in the first half, the most in an NFL game in the first half since the 1998 Vikings ran 58 plays in the first half. Head Coach Chip Kelly and company are amongst the big time movers and shakers, and there is a great chance that they could start at 2-0 this year. Do keep in mind though, that San Diego is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games played on short rest, and coming off of a Monday Night Football game into a Sunday game across the country, the Bolts are sure to be sharp as could be.

There are a couple other teams that are favored by more than 6.5. The Houston Texans, fresh off of their comeback we just spoke of against San Diego, will look to tame the Tennesssee Titans in their home opener as 8.5-point favorites on the NFL lines, while the Atlanta Falcons are giving seven to the St. Louis Rams.

There are going to be some tremendous close calls as well. The Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints are both AFC South teams that are favored by three on the road. The Panthers head north to take on the Buffalo Bills in a battle of 0-1 teams that lost heartbreakers against superior squads last week. New Orleans has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a second straight crucial NFC South battle.

It’s amazing how quickly some are selling on the Indianapolis Colts. The team was favored by double digits last week and steamed like crazy against Oakland, yet now, it is only favored by three, the value of their home field advantage against the Miami Dolphins. QB Andrew Luck and company could be in for an upset if the oddsmakers have pegged this one even remotely right. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs are trending upward after crushing the Jags on Sunday, as they are favored by a field goal in their home opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

In the late games, the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals are lined at a pick ’em, while the Oakland Raiders are 5.5-point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The last time Oakland was favored by more than four points was against none other than these Jaguars last year at the O.co Coliseum.

But of course, we still have yet to talk about the two biggest games of the weekend. The national game in the 4:00 ET hour is the clash of the Manning brothers. Younger brother QB Eli Manning had a rough go of it against the Cowboys last week, but he is still set to lead his New York Giants into battle against QB Peyton Manning and his Denver Broncos. The elder Manning threw an NFL record seven touchdown passes against Baltimore on Thursday last week, and he has a long week to prepare for his trip to the Meadowlands. If New York loses this game and starts at 0-2, the buzzards are going to start to swarm around Head Coach Tom Coughlin once again.

But the biggest game is the one in the NFC West between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. Neither of these two played quite as well as perhaps their fans had been hoping for in Week 1, but both escaped with narrow victories to move to 1-0. This one though, is going to be a flat out war. Seattle hasn’t lost a game at home in darn near two full calendar years, and the 49ers were absolutely destroyed last season when they went to CenturyLink Field. The winner is probably going to hold the upper hand on the loser for at least the first part of the season until the return matchup at Candlestick Park later on this season. QB Russell Wilson and QB Colin Kaepernick should both be in for stern tests. The slight edge goes to Seattle at -2.5, but no results will be surprising.

Regarding ‘totals’ this week, the Manning Bowl features the highest number on the board at 54.5, and that shouldn’t be all that surprising that the number is that high. Last week featured 64 touchdown passes in the 16 games combined, the most in a single week in NFL history. Not surprisingly, there is only one game with a ‘total’ in the 30s, and that’s the clash between the offensively inept Jags and the offensive-sporadic Raiders, a number which is set at 39.5. The Monday nighter in the AFC North only sees a ‘total’ of 40.5 hit the NFL rotation schedule, while there are five other games in which a ‘total’ of at least 47 opened on the board. If you’re looking for some big time line movement on a ‘total’, consider the game between the Chargers and the Eagles. Both teams played high scoring Monday Night Football games last week, and Philly is going to be a trendy ‘over’ team all year long until Head Coach Chip Kelly and his mates slow down just a bit, something that we don’t see happening any time in the near future.
