Week 5 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 5 NFL lines; both spreads and totals. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

A very interesting week for NFL betting fans is ahead, as the football odds for Week 5 are out. Ironically, the biggest underdog on the board this week is the league’s last undefeated team, the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re coming off of their bye week and are clearly getting thoroughly disrespected in this duel with the Indianapolis Colts, as they are eight point pups. Indianapolis has plenty of reasons to be upset after losing to a 59 yard field goal at the end of last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and we all saw what this team did when it was angry the last time it was playing a game off of a defeat… QB Eli Manning doesn’t want to see his big brother, QB Peyton Manning again.

Once again, road favorites seem to be the norm for the week, as there are a slew of so called “better teams” that have to go on the road to try to snare wins against “lesser teams.”

The Cleveland Browns are one of the disrespected home underdogs on the NFL odds for Week Five, as they are three point pups to the Atlanta Falcons. Does this situation look familiar? Last week, the Brownies were three point dogs to open up against the Cincinnati Bengals as well, as they came away with the outright victory.

The biggest road favorites are the New Orleans Saints. The oddsmakers are taking a big chance on New Orleans, as this crew really doesn’t have much in the way of a running game right now with RB Pierre Thomas out of the lineup. The Saints struggled mightily with the Carolina defense last week. Arizona’s biggest problems have come on the road, where it has gotten crushed by both the Atlanta Falcons and the San Diego Chargers. This is at home though, and it seems like there are favorable NFL trends point towards the hosts as seven point underdogs on Sunday afternoon.

Last week, the NFL oddsmakers were burned by making the Tennessee Titans nearly full touchdown favorites at home against the Denver Broncos. HC Josh McDaniels’ crew came away with the outright upset by the count of 26-20, and now Tennessee has to head to “Big D” to fight with the Dallas Cowboys, who are still trying to salvage their season after an 0-2 start. Owner Jerry Jones’ men are favored by 6.5 points on the opening NFL lines.

The highest ‘total’ on the board this week is in the clash between the New York Giants and Houston Texans at 48. Neither team has had much success on defense in recent weeks, and the Texans offense is putting points on the board left and right against everyone that it faces.

The lowest ‘total’ of all the week 5 NFL lines used to be the Monday Night Football tussle between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets, but after the news that the Chicago Bears were going to be without QB Jay Cutler, the ‘total’ between the Bears and the Carolina Panthers is only 33.

Complete List of Week 6 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 6 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 6 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 6 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

Week 6 betting action picks up on Tuesday night and continues with college football betting action throughout the week! The action is going to be hot and heavy in conference play this year, as some fierce rivals take aim at big wins that can change the landscape of college football for the 2011 BCS Championship run!

We’re keeping a very close eye on some undefeated Big XII teams this week, as both the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma State Cowboys are on upset alert on the road in weeknight, nationally televised duels. Nebraska is heading to Kansas State, where the Wildcats are out to prove that they belong as a Top 25 team. The Pokes have a much more modest test, as they have to travel to face the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns. However, they have had a history of losing against Sun Belt teams before, so Okie State is certainly one to watch out for.

Saturday belongs to the SEC, though!

The Alabama Crimson Tide, fresh off of their whooping of the Florida Gators, now have to hit the road in the SEC, where there is simply never a week off. The South Carolina Gamecocks are searching for some respect and nearly pulled the upset at the Auburn Tigers two weeks ago. The Ol’ Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier knows that the Tide did his Cocks a big time favorite by handing UF its first conference loss, and a win in this won could go a long way in flipping the tide of the SEC East race. The Crimson Tide are favored by seven points, the third straight hefty college football point spread in a tough game.

One would figure when the No. 9 team in the land travels to face the No. 12 team that the spread would be awfully close. However, that just isn’t the case this week, as the Florida Gators play host to the LSU Tigers in a game that could have some major implications in the National Championship run as well. LSU knows that it can afford a slip, but there are still some horrifying games on the slate. Florida’s season would effectively be over with a second straight loss. The Bayou Bengals might be undefeated, but they certainly don’t look sharp right now. They’re expected to take a major tumble in this one, as they are 6.5 point underdogs on Saturday night in the Swamp.

There are two other major games of note. In the Big Ten, the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans will both look to lock up a spot in a bowl game this early in the season. Both teams are 5-0 and both are ranked in the Top 25. It is clear to say that both are exceeding expectations, though one will clearly take a tumble back towards earth upon defeat. The Spartans are the team under the gun in this one though, as they know that they can play at home but have yet to really get tested away from East Lansing. That will all change on Saturday. Big Blue is favored by 4.5 points.

The Sunshine State will be burning as well in South Beach for arguably the most crucial duel in ACC betting action all season long. The Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles have both looked fantastic for the most part this year, and they can both get a huge leg up in their respective divisions in the ACC with a win against their biggest rivals. Florida State might be angry over last year’s defeat on Labor Day night at home, but it has a 6.5 point hole to climb out of to win this one.

Week 4 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 4 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 4 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

At the end of Monday Night Football, only either two or three teams will be left amongst the ranks of the unbeaten both SU and ATS. One of the two, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are in action this week, while the other, the Kansas City Chiefs, are enjoying their bye.

The Steelers will be playing in their fourth and final NFL betting affair on Sunday without the services of QB Ben Roethlisberger. Fourth string QB Charlie Batch has played well in limited time and guided the team to a pair of victories. For a team that many thought would start the year at 1-3 or even 0-4, Pittsburgh is playing with house money right now. That can be parlayed into a two game lead in the AFC North this weekend with a win over the Baltimore Ravens parlayed with some help in the form of a loss by the Cincinnati Bengals. Either way, a victory at home over the Ravens would really open up the flood gates for an interesting second portion of the season, as Baltimore would be dropped to just 1-2 in divisional play and clearly behind the 8-ball in terms of getting to the postseason. The Ravens are short 1.5 point underdogs in Sunday’s big clash.

Also in divisional play, the Miami Dolphins are going to have to rebound quickly this week from their Sunday Night Football loss at the hands of the New York Jets. For the second straight week, they’ll be playing in primetime on Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots, who have plenty of questions to answers defensively right now. The oddsmakers are calling this one just too tough to make a week 4 line here; this one is set at a pick ’em.

However, when you’re talking about combining drama with NFL divisional rivalries, you can’t look any further than the City of Brotherly Love on Sunday afternoon. In a game that many around the country will see, the Philadelphia Eagles, led by the suddenly resurgent QB Michael Vick, will welcome to town an old friend, QB Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins. Not only do these two teams hate each other, but the loser will drop to just 1-3 on the season and could already effectively be out of the playoff picture.

The biggest favorites of NFL Week 4 lines are the New Orleans Saints. With a lack of a running game coming up to bite them in the rear on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints will look to rebound with a ‘W’ against the struggling Carolina Panthers, who are the only team on the season that has yet to cover a spread. Carolina could be ready to make a coaching move if this game doesn’t go well, as HC John Fox is in the final year of his deal and the franchise clearly isn’t happy with the direction the team is going in.

The highest ‘total’ of the weekend involves the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars, as that number is set at 46.5. The lowest of the weekend, to no surprise, is the duel in Steeltown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, which has been lined at just 35.

Complete List of Week 4 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 4 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 4 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 4 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The Miami Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Panthers are going to kick off the NCAA football betting weekend on Thursday night from the Steel City in a game that pits two former conference foes against each other. Both teams are 1-1 this season and both are coming off of bye weeks. Needless to say, these two squads are incredibly evenly matched, even in the Heisman Trophy race. Both Miami QB Jacory Harris and U-Pitt RB Dion Lewis are dark horse candidates as Heisman Trophy picks as well.

On Friday night, the TCU Horned Frogs could get one of their sterner tests of the season when they take on the SMU Mustangs in an instate rivalry. The other mid-major player for the National Championship, the Boise State Broncos, will open up their 2010 home slate at the Smurf Turf when they take on the Oregon State Beavers in one of Saturday’s biggest clashes.

The ACC might not have a slew of top teams this year, but there are certainly going to be some interesting matchups to keep an eye on in conference play. The Virginia Tech Hokies didn’t get off to a good start to the season, but head coach Frank Beamer might be able to get his guys ready for a run at the BCS anyway. They’ll start off against the Boston College Eagles. The only undefeated team left in the conference, the NC State Wolfpack, will travel to Atlanta to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Top 25 teams are on upset alert across the country on Saturday once again. Leading the way will be the red hot Stanford Cardinal, who are up to #17 in the land and have outscored their foes by 114 points this year. However, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish could just as easily be 3-0 right now as they are 1-2 and will provide a very, very tough task. The undefeated Temple Owls just beat the Connecticut Huskies last week, and they’ll have a chance to do more damage against the Penn State Nittany Lions in Happy Valley. In the Pac-10, the two teams with arguably the best chance of going to the Rose Bowl have tough openers to deal with. The Arizona Wildcats, fresh off of their huge win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, will take on the California Golden Bears at home, while the Oregon Ducks will head to the desert to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils, who came a blocked PAT short of upsetting the Wisconsin Badgers last week.

However, there are three games that all NCAA football betting fans will be glued to this weekend, and all three involve SEC teams.

The LSU Tigers gave up 21 points in the fourth quarter to the North Carolina Tar Heels in Week 1, but if you take that quarter out, they have only conceded 13 for the rest of the season. They’ll have their biggest test of the year against the West Virginia Mountaineers in the late night start in Baton Rouge. Heading into the sea of purple and gold could be devastating for a young quarterback, and QB Geno Smith is about to find out just how tough Cajun Country can be.

In the primetime game of the night, the Auburn Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks will do battle. War Eagle just barely survived last week against the Clemson Tigers in overtime, while South Carolina is going to be facing its first road test. This will be a great matchup between South Carolina’s stout rush defense, which ranks sixth in the country, and Auburn’s amazing trio of rushers, RB Onterio McCalebb, RB Michael Dyer, and QB Cam Newton.

However, in the main course and what might be one of the best games of the entire season, the Arkansas Razorbacks will face the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide have been rolling this year, and with a health RB Mark Ingram in the fold, they’re clearly at full strength. Arkansas escaped by upsetting the NCAA football odds last week “Between the Hedges,” and in the process, QB Ryan Mallett might have made himself the Heisman Trophy betting lines favorite. The winner will have a clear inside track to the SEC West title. Alabama has to be careful not to be looking forward to that battle next week at home against the Florida Gators, as this game could be just as difficult, if not harder than that one will be.

Complete List of Week 5 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 5 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 5 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 5 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

Many at the outset of the year thought that this was going to be the biggest week of college football betting action in quite some time. It will inevitably be known as “Separation Saturday” for a number of teams, as the top schools in the land seemingly all collide in what should be a real spectacle for NCAA football betting fans to feast their eyes and their wagers into.

The highlight game, of course, is going to be the duel at Bryant Denny Stadium between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators. These two teams have split their last two encounters, both of which have been in the SEC Championship Game. The winner has moved on to the National Championship Game and won that encounter as well. This year, the meeting is just as crucial even though it won’t be as decisive as the SEC Championship. This could very well be the first of two meetings of these teams. Will HC Urban Meyer’s defense be able to stand up to the potent offense of the Crimson Tide? Can QB John Brantley go into one of the most hallowed stadiums in college football and come out with a victory? If he does, it will come as a huge upset, as the Gators are hefty nine point underdogs.

The ‘undercard’ game of sorts will be played at the Cotton Bowl this year, as the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns will meet up. This duel sort of lost a bit of its luster last week when the Longhorns were crushed at home by the UCLA Bruins in a stunning 34-12 upset, but as we all well know, this is a game in which you can throw out the record books. These two teams just hate each other, and the winner of it seemingly always goes on to represent the Big XII South in the Big XII Championship Game. Just has been the case with the Alabama/Florida winner over the L/2 seasons, the winner of this game has played in back to back National Championships, but has been defeated by the SEC champs in both cases. The Sooners are only 3.5 point favorites in spite of the fact that they are now clearly the higher ranked team.

The big rivalry game between the Boston College Eagles and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is also this weekend. These two teams hate each other about as much as two teams possibly can, and though this game doesn’t mean as much as it once did, don’t tell that to the teams involved. The Irish are 2.5 point road favorites, but inevitably, this game is going to come down to the very end regardless.

One of the biggest road favorites of the weekend are the TCU Horned Frogs, who are expected to easily roll over the Colorado State Rams. They are 33 point chalks even though they are on the road. The Horned Frogs are one of six favorites this week of at least 20 points. The biggest favorites, to no surprise though, are the Boise State Broncos. After rolling past the Oregon State Beavers last week, the Broncos are stunning 41.5 point favorites against the New Mexico State Aggies in Las Cruces.

Complete List of Week 3 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 3 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 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 weekend…

There has only been one double digit NFL betting favorite all season long coming into Week 3, but this week, there are already three that are favored by at least ten points and another team that might be there by the time the weekend kicks off.

The Minnesota Vikings might be an 0-2 team, but the oddsmakers think that they are going to crush the Week 3 spread, as they are comfortable ten point favorites over the Detroit Lions. The Lions have been a feisty team so far this season. Even though they are 0-2 SU, they are 2-0 ATS after last week’s backdoor cover against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Vikes badly need a better game out of QB Brett Favre than he has had so far this season, as a ratio of one TD pass to four picks just isn’t going to cut it. If Minnesota doesn’t at least win this game, there is going to be a lot of discussion about whether Favre and/or HC Brad Childress deserve to keep their respective jobs.

The New England Patriots are coming off of a loss last week to the New York Jets, but QB Tom Brady and the gang should have no problems against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills were the only team to be a double digit pup this year, and the end result was a hefty 34-7 romp at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. With New England playing its second game at home and coming off of the bad loss in the Meadowlands, the NFL oddsmakers are expecting to see a hefty final score. The Pats are the biggest chalks of all the week 3 NFL  lines at -13.5.

The Baltimore Ravens are the third double digit favorite this week, as they are 10.5 point home choices against the Cleveland Browns.

Road favorites are en vogue as well in Week 3 betting action. The Cincinnati Bengals are 3.5 point choices over the Carolina Panthers, who will be giving rookie Jimmy Clausen the first start of his career as he hopes to guide the 0-2 Panthers in a new direction. Cincinnati is coming off of an ugly 15-10 win against the Ravens last week to keep within one game in the AFC North standings.

The team leading the pack in the AFC North is the Pittsburgh Steelers, and in spite of the fact that they are playing now with just fourth string quarterback Charlie Batch, they are still at 2-0 both SU and ATS having pulled off a pair of outright upsets as underdogs. They’ll head to the Sunshine State to tango with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also a surprising 2-0 on the season. These two are expected to put on an ugly affair, as the ‘total’ is set at 34, which is already the lowest of the season and might not be bested this year.

The two games to really keep an eye on this week are going to be played in the south. In the Lone Star State, the surprising 2-0 Houston Texans will take on the 0-2 Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Wade Phillips might be coaching for his job this week, as an 0-3 team going into its bye week certainly won’t be owner Jerry Jones a happy camper. The Texans just won their first overtime game in team history last week and could be off to their first ever 3-0 start if they can beat the 2.5 point spread they are faced with at home on Sunday afternoon.

Sunday Night Football heads to Miami on Sunday night, where the Miami Dolphins at 2-0 can put a huge gap between themselves and the New York Jets. In their home opener, the Fins are 1.5 point favorites to topple the Jets, who were originally favored to win the AFC East at the outset of the season.

Complete List of Week 3 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 3 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 3 college football lines and spreads along with a complete breakdown of the Week three ncaa football spreads. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The week 3 schedul will kick off with a respectable duel between the Big East’s Cincinnati Bearcats and the NC State Wolfpack from the ACC. Both of these teams are searching for some respect in their own conferences, and neither team has gotten much support quite yet from their fellow conference mates. Keep a close eye on the young quarterbacks in this game, as NCSU’s Russell Wilson and Cincy’s Zach Collaros could both be future NFL superstars. The current week 3 lines at BetUS have NC State listed as a 2 point favorite.

On Friday, the Nevada Wolfpack are going to try to make a name for themselves. Though the Boise State Broncos and TCU Horned Frogs are stealing the thunder for the mid-majors, this is a Nevada team that is flying under the radar and could be every bit as good as both the Top 10 ranked mid-majors in the country. The Wolfpack are three point underdogs against the California Golden Bears, but they might never be lined like this by the oddsmakers again if they can get off the ground with a big upset on national television.

The best teams in the land are definitely taking a step back from their huge wins in Week 2 of the NCAA football betting campaign. The Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes, Boise State Broncos, TCU Horned Frogs, and Oregon Ducks are all at least three TD favorites in what should be cakewalk games. However, life won’t be so easy for all of the ranked teams this week.

The Arkansas Razorbacks have made it all the way up to No. 12 in the nation in the USA Today poll, but that doesn’t mean that they are expected to stay that way. QB Ryan Mallett and the Hogs open up college football betting action on Saturday afternoon as 2.5 point underdogs to the Georgia Bulldogs “Between the Hedges.” Last week, UGA lost in this very same situation as the ranked road team that was a dog to an unranked home team, and it will look to repay the favor as ACC play continues this week.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers, ranked No. 8 in the AP Poll might be in for a dog fight as well. The Washington Huskies have a history of winning big games in Husky Stadium, and QB Jake Locker will try to see to it that that happens once again to a largely untested Big Red team on Saturday. The Huskies are getting a ton of respect though, as they are only 3.5 point underdogs against one of the best teams in the entire country.

The same can be true for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are going to be welcoming the Texas Longhorns back to Lubbock for the first time since the epic 39-33 game two years ago in which WR Michael Crabtree made that insane catch and run for the game winning touchdown. The Horns are ranked fifth in the land and could be in for a long, long day against these unranked Red Raiders, who are just 3.5 point dogs.

The game of the week to watch though, is the duel in the desert between the Arizona Wildcats and the Iowa Hawkeyes. These two teams played a tight one last year at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa, but the scene shifts to Arizona now, where HC Mike Stoops is going to be looking for arguably the biggest win in his head coaching career. We know that the Cats can claw with some iffy teams, but the oddsmakers aren’t showing them a lot of respect in this one as 1.5 point pups to QB Ricky Stanzi and the Hawkeyes.
