There are just two weeks worth of games left on the NFL schedule, and that makes this week’s sets of NFL odds all the more important for the week to come. Join us for our quick discussion of the NFL Week 16 betting lines, and don’t miss all of the Week 16 odds that are at the bottom of this post.

There are a number of teams that are going to be playing for crucial playoff spots this week, and a lot of teams are playing those that are out of the race for the second season. As a result, there are a ton of games that are featuring just huge point spreads.

The biggest of the big pits the New England Patriots on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There are nine games separating these two teams in the standings, and there are 14 points separating them on the NFL Week 16 odds with a game being played at EverBank Field. New England absolutely has to have these last two games if it wants any chance of getting a first round bye in the playoffs. The Jags probably need to lose these last two to have any chance to get the top pick in the NFL Draft.

The problem that the Pats have this week is that the two teams above them in the standings, the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos are huge favorites at home as well. The Broncos are hosting the Cleveland Browns and are favored by 13, while the Texans are laying 7.5 in the crucial game against the Minnesota Vikings, a game the Vikes have to have if they are going to stay on the right side of the playoff race in the NFC.

Meanwhile, over in the NFC, the Green Bay Packers can keep the pressure on by beating the Tennessee Titans this week as 12.5-point choices on the Week 16 betting lines. The other huge favorites this weeekend are the Carolina Panthers, who are -9 against the Oakland Raiders.

This week is also odd from the standpoint that there is no Monday Night Football game on Christmas Eve and no Thursday Night Football game either. There is though, a Saturday Night Football clash between the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions on ESPN. The Lions are coming off of the embarrassment of getting blown away by Arizona last weekend, and they are going to want to get back in the saddle against an Atlanta team that is still tenuously holding onto the top spot in the NFC playoffs. Atlanta can win the No. 1 seed and make sure that the road to the Super Bowl goes through the Georgia Dome with a victory, something that could be had as 3.5-point underdogs at Ford Field.

The only other division that still needs to be sorted out in the league is the NFC East. The Washington Redskins hold their own destiny right now, and they just need to win these final two games this year to lock up the division. They’re taking on the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend in the City of Brotherly Love, and they’re 5.5-point favorites to move within just one step. Meanwhile, both the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, who are both also at 8-6, are involved in very tough games this weekend. New York is on the road against the Baltimore Ravens, while the Cowboys are hosting the New Orleans Saints. Both teams are favored by 2.5-points.

Those Ravens have their work cut out for them if they plan on winning the AFC North. They are still in control of the division at the moment, but if they lose this one against the Giants, they’re going to probably be forced into a do-or-die game next week for at least the division, and maybe the playoffs all together against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals meanwhile, can clinch a playoff spot if they can beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road this week. It’s a do or die game for the Steelers, who have to win at least this game, and likely the game next week against the Browns to get into the playoffs. They can still win the AFC North though, and that would go a long way towards getting back to the Super Bowl. The Steelers are -4 at Heinz Field, but a lot of betting in this game has actually gone on the Bengals, who have lost five in a row in this series.

The big game of the weekend is Sunday Night Football, though. The Seattle Seahawks are going to host the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers will lock up the NFC West with a win, and they might ultimately clinch no worse than the No. 2 seed as well with some help. In all likelihood though, San Francisco is in some trouble if this game is lost. It will still control of its own destiny to win the division, and it likely won’t in Week 17 to get the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Seattle meanwhile, is just trying to get into the playoffs, and it will get in with a win and a heck of a lot of help. The easiest thing for the Seahawks to do is win twice to end the regular season, as if they don’t, they are leaving themselves open to be left out of the second season. After watching the Niners go to New England last week and win, the oddsmakers have lined them at a pick ’em at CenturyLink Field.

There are a few other games that we have yet to discuss that we are going to quickly gloss over. The Chicago Bears are laying five to the Arizona Cardinals on the road in a game that they have to win if they have any playoff aspirations left. The Miami Dolphins, who are technically still alive in the playoff race, are -4.5 against the Buffalo Bills at home. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are giving a field goal to the St. Louis Rams in a battle of two teams that have overachieved this year and have a lot to look forward to in the future. The Indianapolis Colts will clinch a playoff berth if they can beat the Kansas City Chiefs as 6.5-point favorites at Arrowhead Stadium, while another of the lousy teams in the AFC West, the San Diego Chargers, are +2.5 on the road against the New York Jets, who will be giving QB Greg McElroy his first career start.

In terms of ‘totals’, they are starting to trickle down just a bit this week as the weather gets colder. The only two games in the 50s, the New Orleans/Dallas game and the Atlanta/Detroit game are both played in domes. Both games feature numbers posted at 51. Chicago and Arizona have two of the best defenses in the game, but most importantly, they both have anemic offenses. That’s why that game is the lowest number on the board of the week at 36.5. The Seattle/San Fran game also only features a ‘total’ of 39, the second lowest ‘total’ of the week. Those two teams played a brutal 13-6 game when these two met two months ago, but Seattle has scored 108 points in the last two weeks, while the 49ers have scored 68 points in those same two weeks.

The 2012 NFL schedule continues in Week 15, as there are just three weeks left in the campaign to determine which teams will and will not be going to the playoffs, and where they will all be playing. Join us here at Bankroll Sports, as we break down all of the games on the Week 15 NFL schedule, along with all of the Week 15 odds on the board.

There are a heck of a lot of teams that are fighting for their lives right now, and we’re going to see that right away on Thursday when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Philadelphia Eagles. Cincy is one of the many teams this week that is favored by right around a field goal. In fact, there are nine games as of Tuesday evening that are lined between two and four. The Bengals are one of those at the high end of that spectrum at -4 on the road against a Philadelphia team that is trying to play the role of spoiler.

Division titles can basically be won (or actually be won) in a number of games on Sunday, and most of the games are going to be incredibly close calls.

The Green Bay Packers are going on the road to Soldier Field on Sunday, and the clash against the Chicago Bears is going to be the biggest game of the year for both of these teams. The Pack will win the NFC North with a victory, while the Bears will claw right back into the race if they can hold serve at home. However, Green Bay is clearly the better of these two teams and is better form at the moment, and it is favored by a field goal as a result.

In the other big time game of the weekend that could solve a division championship is in the AFC South. The Houston Texans are a win over the Indianapolis Colts away from winning the division. However, at this point, the Colts also control their own destiny for shocking the world and winning the division. Indy will be in the playoffs with a win one way or the other, and it will put the pressure on the Texans in a big time way in the division race. Meanwhile, Houston is three wins away from the No. 1 seed on the AFC side of the postseason. Everyone sees how “lucky” QB Andrew Luck and the Colts are getting, and the whole world saw the Texans get their doors blown off on Monday, yet the hosts are the biggest favorites of the weekend at -7.5.

Division leaders are also going to be involved in a few duels on Sunday as well that could shape the landscape of the playoffs in both conferences. We’ll start at the Georgia Dome, where the Atlanta Falcons are taking on the New York Giants. The G-Men are the team to watch here, as they are the ones with a heck of a lot more on the line. New York needs to win these final three games to ensure getting into the playoffs, and no other route will absolutely ensure a bit into the postseason. Atlanta is starting to stare over its back shoulder at some teams coming from behind, who might be able to catch up with it. The Giants are getting a point for now, but we wouldn’t be surprised if that flips by the end of the week.

Meanwhile over at M&T Bank Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens, who are perennially a fantastic home team, are actually two-point dogs this week to the Denver Broncos. The winner of this game is going to have a good chance to get a first round bye in the playoffs and keep their name in the hat for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The loser is going to be in a lot of trouble, especially if it is the Ravens. Baltimore still hasn’t won the AFC North yet, and it needs a couple of wins down the stretch to ensure that that happens. The tiebreaker here is crucial for the Broncos, who already lose tiebreakers to both the Patriots and the Texans, and they aren’t going to want to have lost to all of their most competitive playoff foes going into the postseason.

Sunday Night Football this week also pits two division winners against each other. Both the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots are chasing the top seeds in their respective conferences, and the team that loses this game is unlikely to ultimately be able to claim that top seed. The Niners are a group that garner a heck of a lot of respect, but this is the toughest game thus far in the career of QB Colin Kaepernick, who has to go against a New England defense that just shut down the top team in the NFL, the Texans, last week. That’s why the Pats are -5.5 to open up the week.

And then there are plenty of games that are going to involve teams with Wild Card playoff hopes as well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints are essentially playing in an elimination game for sure, though both of these teams are already probably on the wrong side of the playoffs for good. New Orleans is laying 3.5 at the site of Super Bowl 47. The Washington Redskins are still hanging in there, and they have to go on the road to the Cleveland Browns this week as well. Cleveland is hot, and if the rest of the teams in the AFC North keep sliding, you never really know if it can actually get into the playoffs. Winning out is a pre-requisite for success though, and the Browns are getting 1.5 at home.

Perhaps the most important of the Wild Card potential showdowns in the 1:00 ET hour pits the Minnesota Vikings against the St. Louis Rams. Both teams are still struggling to get into the playoffs, and both are going to need some wins and some help to get the job done. The loser is going to likely be done for this year, making this essentially a playoff game for both. The Rams are -2.5 at the Edward Jones Dome, and regardless of what happens to these two this year, both should be incredibly proud that they took a lot of steps in the right direction.

In the 4:00 ET hour though, there are two other crucial games. The Buffalo Bills are on their last gasp, and they have to win out and get a lot of help to think about the playoffs. They head to Toronto for their annual visit to the Rogers Centre on Sunday afternoon for a battle with the Seattle Seahawks, the team that everyone is chasing for the last playoff spot in the NFC. The Hawks are -4, and if they can win this one and watch the Bears lose earlier in the day, they’ll be in a spot where they really should make the playoffs from here.

The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers are both 7-6 teams, and they’ll both know by the time they take the field in this one what it means to them. Dallas is in a spot this week where making up a game on the field in the NFC East is a distinct possibility, while Pittsburgh could draw nearer in the AFC North. However, the loser of this one will be just 7-7 through 14 games. That isn’t damning by any stretch of the imagination, but it will make life harder and open up the door for a number of teams that could slip into the playoff race around them both. This one should be tight at Dallas Cowboys Stadium, though the hosts are actually getting a point in what should be a crucial tilt.

Of course, for all of the great games on the docket, there are some lousy ones as well that we’ll fly through quickly. The Miami Dolphins are favored by a touchdown, making them the second biggest favorites of the weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Carolina Panthers and San Diego Chargers are separated by just home field advantage, while the Detroit Lions are going to put their skid of four out of five games on the line against the longest losing streak in the NFL, that of the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has dropped nine in a row, and it is coming off of the embarrassing 58-0 loss in Seattle last week. That’s why it is getting six points at home. The dog game of dog games pits the 10-loss Oakland Raiders against the 11-loss Chiefs. The loser of this one will be in significantly better shape in terms of the NFL Draft than the winner will be, but the Raiders are -3 thanks to home field advantage. Monday Night Football features the Titans at -2 against a New York Jets outfit that, believe it or not, could actually get back onto level terms for the last playoff spot on with a win and some help.

‘Totals’ this week are pretty tightly packed as well. There are only two numbers stuck in the 30s this week. The Jags and Fins are only expected to reach 37, the lowest ‘total’ of the weekend, while the Rams and Vikings are at 38. There are only two games in the 50s as well. The Falcons and Giants are the second highest number on the board of the weekend at 51, while the highest, not surprisingly, features the Saints and Bucs, who have two of the worst defenses in the NFL. That over/under is set for 53.5. All other ‘totals’ this week chime in between 42 and 48.

Week 14 of the 2012 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2011 Week 14 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 14 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this week…

If you like big upsets, this is probably the week on the NFL betting lines for you. There are a whopping three teams that are double digit favorites, one of which is on the road, and there is one more team that is favored by more than a touchdown. It’s certainly not a guarantee that all of these clubs are going to win when push comes to shove, and there could be a real chance for some major upsets to hit the board.

The fun and games starts on Thursday, when the Denver Broncos take on the Oakland Raiders. Oakland is definitely one of those teams that has the ability to be a pain in the butt, but it has been one of the worst teams in the league over the course of the last few weeks. Denver is just murdering teams left and right, and it has already clinched up the AFC West title. With all of that being said, it’s no wonder why the Broncos, in spite of the fact that they are on the road and in spite of the fact that they are playing in a rivalry game, are still laying 10.5, matchup the biggest point spread of the weekend.

The other two double digit favorites are the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners are giving a week-high 10.5 to the Miami Dolphins in spite of the fact that they really haven’t had a very consistent quarterback situation with QB Colin Kaepernick and the recently benched QB Alex Smith. Seattle is taking on a train wreck of an Arizona Cardinals outfit, who mustered under 100 yards of total offense if you take away the 40 yards they got on fake punt in a loss last week. The Seahawks, who currently hold the last playoff spot in the NFC, are laying 10.

The other big favorites at the moment are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s not that Tampa Bay has been all that impressive of late, as the team has lost a pair of nail biters in a row to the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos. It’s that the team the Bucs are playing this week, the Philadelphia Eagles, are as much of a disaster as the Cardinals are. Head Coach Andy Reid is clearly just playing out the string, as he will be fired at the end of the season, and QB Nick Foles has been named the starter for the rest of the year. Foles on the road in Tampa Bay against a playoff hungry team that has been playing solid football isn’t a good formula, and that’s why the Bucs are giving 7.5.

The other major theme of the week this week is the road favorite, all of which could easily fall victim to the dreaded upset. All of these teams are favored by either 3 or 3.5 on the road, and two of them are going against division rivals.

One look at the game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers, and you’d think that the Falcons should be favored by at least a touchdown, knowing how far apart these two are in the NFL standings. However, remember that when these two played at the Georgia Dome, the Panthers had the Falcons dead to rights, and they ultimately only lost the game by a deuce. That’s why the oddsmakers have only lined Atlanta at -3.5.

The two teams that are favored by a field goal on the road are the New York Jets and the Chicago Bears. Both teams might really be fighting for their rights to survival for the playoffs. Chicago seems to be in a comfortable spot right now, but a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and all of a sudden, there is just a game of safety left with three games to play, one of which is coming against the Packers. The Vikes are definitely playing for their lives, as dropping to 6-7 would be devastating and would probably end up resulting in the end of the season after such a promising start to the year. Amazingly, the Jets are still in the thick of the fight at 5-7 in the AFC, but they are going to need to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars down in the Sunshine State to keep those hopes alive.

The rest of the games on the docket are all expected to be relatively close. The Washington Redskins are favored by two points over the Baltimore Ravens in a local clash. Elsewhere in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers, with QB Ben Roethlisberger appearing to be back in the saddle, are -7 against the San Diego Chargers. The Cleveland Browns are -6.5 in a clash of two of the worst teams in the NFL against the Kansas City Chiefs. And finally, the Cincinnati Bengals are -3 at home against the Dallas Cowboys in a battle of two teams fighting for playoff positioning.

The Indianapolis Colts are laying five to the Tennessee Titans in a battle of AFC South teams, while the Buffalo Bills are -3 at home against the St. Louis Rams.

Three of the last four games on the rotation schedule are tremendously important battles this week. The New Orleans Saints and New York Giants are both coming off of bad losses last week, and they are going to need to make amends for that if they are going to have a chance to fulfill their playoff goals. New Orleans absolutely has to have this one, or there is a chance that it could be mathematically eliminated by the time Week 15 is said and done with. The Giants will need a win to ensure that they stay in first place in the NFC East for another week. The G-Men are giving 4.5 in what should be one of the week’s most exciting games.

Football Night in America heads to Lambeau Field this week for the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions. Odds have it, blowing a 12-point lead last week to the Colts spells the end for Detroit, but if there is any chance whatsoever to at least keep some hope for the playoffs alive, this is it. Green Bay knows that winning out will win the NFC North, and it will probably end up giving the team a first round bye in the second season. The hosts are predictably favored by a touchdown.

But of course, the big kahuna game of the weekend pits the Houston Texans against the New England Patriots. The Texans know that winning this game will almost certainly give them the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, as they will be at least two up with three to play on the Ravens and Broncos, and they will have put New England away. More importantly, Houston would have SU victories over all three of the top seeds in the conference, and two of those wins would be on the road. The Patriots already have the AFC East locked up, but if they have any chance of keeping the road to the Super Bowl at home, they are going to have to win this game. To prove just how evenly matched these two clubs are, New England is only favored by the value of home field advantage, three points.

‘Totals’ this week are all over the place. Both the Sunday Night and Monday Night Football games feature ‘totals’ in the 50s, while the highest number of the week features a 53 with the Giants and the Saints. Meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum, the Seahawks and the Cardinals are only expected to reach 35.5 points.

The 2012 NFL season is winding towards the playoffs, and there are just five weeks left to go before the season comes to an end and the NFL playoff picture will be set. There is a lot of jockeying for position yet to do, and Week 13 will be lucky for some, and incredibly unlucky for others.

If you’re a fan of relatively surprising results, the Week 13 odds are probably for you. There are a tremendous number of close games that could go either way, but there are just four NFL point spreads this week thus far that are featuring odds of a field goal or less.

One of those games is the crucial tilt at Qualcomm Stadium, where the Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers will meet. The Bengals are back into the discussion for the AFC Wild Card spot, and they really would love to have this one to potentially take over as the lead dog for the sixth and final postseason bid in the AFC. The Chargers are on the verge of a disaster, and after losing a heartbreaker last weekend at home, a loss in this one would probably signal the end of the season and the end of Head Coach Norv Turner. Still, the Bengals are getting the nod by a two points.

Another of the close calls is going to come on Monday Night Football. The New York Giants and Washington Redskins are separated by just two games in the NFC East, and one of two things is going to happen this weekend. Either the G-Men are going to end up pulling away from the rest of the pack and really locking down the division title, or they’re going to be in a dog fight down the stretch. This is the chance for QB Robert Griffin III to shine, and the NFL odds suggest that he has a shot of pulling off the upset, as he and his Skins are just +2.5.

The other narrow NFL pointspreads are in games that really just aren’t all that interesting. The Carolina Panthers are laying a field goal to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, while the Oakland Raiders are -1.5 against the Cleveland Browns. About the only interested man in these two games is QB Matt Barkley, who might be heading to one of these teams next year as the face of the franchise.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are three games that feature point spreads of greater than a touchdown, and these are some really interesting ones. The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of the debacle on Thanksgiving Day at home against Washington, and now, they are going to have to take on a Philadelphia Eagles team that is falling faster than an airplane without an engine. The Cowboys are giving 9.5.

Ironically, that’s the exact same point spread that the Green Bay Packers are favored over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Both of these teams were beaten last week by contenders in the NFC, and they are both going to really need a win in this one to get back on good footing. The loser is going to be in a lot of trouble in the race in the NFC Wild Card chase, and that team could be out of the chase to win the NFC North as well, which might be a death sentence in the crowded and top heavy NFC.

The third big favorites are the New England Patriots, who actually can wrap up the AFC East if they beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. They’re three up games right now, and they’re going to be up four with four to play if they win in South Beach. If not though, this could become a relatively interesting stretch run for both teams. Remember that Miami is just a game out in the AFC Wild Card race as well. The Fins are getting a 7.5 point head start to cover the spread in wacky Week 13.

Elsewhere around the league, the general feeling is that the rich are going to get richer, and the poor are going to get poorer. The Chicago Bears are the perfect example. They’re heading up the NFC North at 8-3 and are right on the verge of a first round bye in the playoffs. They’ll take on the Seattle Seahawks, who are going to be playing in their second straight road game a long way from home. The Hawks, who are in the final playoff slot right now, are +4.5.

Seattle is still trying to chase down the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West as well, but the Niners aren’t relenting at 8-2-1. QB Colin Kaepernick clearly has taken over as the man of the hour for the Niners, and he is going to be facing a second straight road test in this one as well. San Francisco is favored by a touchdown over the St. Louis Rams in a rematch of the tie game at Candlestick Park from a few weeks ago.

On Thursday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons are favored by 3.5 against the New Orleans Saints, while the other 10-1 team in the league, the Houston Texans, are giving 5.5 to the Tennessee Titans.

Elsewhere at the top of the AFC, the Denver Broncos are -7 at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Baltimore Ravens are -6.5 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are hoping to get QB Ben Roethlisberger back in the lineup.

There are only three games left that we have not referenced. The Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions are going to be battling it out to get into the playoffs in their respective conferences. Detroit knows that it is going to need to win out in all likelihood to get into the playoffs, in a very tough task in the NFC North. The Buffalo Bills are still in the thick of the fight in the AFC Wild Card race with so many teams at the bottom struggling, and they are going to need to take down the Jacksonville Jaguars to keep that dream intact. The Bills are favored by six in Orchard Park. Finally, the New York Jets, even without Fireman Ed in attendance, are laying 4.5 to the slumping Arizona Cardinals, who really have to have Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt on alert for his job after a seventh loss in a row last week.

This is one of the more interesting weeks of NFL totals that we have seen all year. It shouldn’t go as much of a surprise that the Falcons and Saints are combining for the highest ‘total’ of the season. Both QB Matt Ryan and QB Drew Brees have the ability to really light it up, and they are both clearly going to be able to put points up in bunches against defenses that have both been suspect at best. However, the number of 55.5 is one of the highest that you’ll see, not just this year, but really ever in the NFL.

There are four other games that are featuring ‘totals’ in the 50s as well. QB Peyton Manning and company only put up 17 points last week against Kansas City, but the team had dropped at least 30 in five games in a row before that. That’s why the Bucs and Broncos are sitting in at 50.5 right now. Indy and Detroit feature a ‘total’ of 51.5 after the offensive showcase on Thanksgiving Day in Motown, while Monday Night Football also features a ‘total’ of 51.

However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are at least two games that feature ‘totals’ as low as we have seen this year. The Jets and the Cardinals are two of the worst offensive teams in the league right now, and that’s why they have the lowest over/under on the Week 13 odds at 36.5. The Bears and Seahawks aren’t much higher at 37.5, though. Don’t be shocked when push comes to shove, if the Steelers and Ravens end up in the 30s as well. The opening number is set at 40, but that could dip if the news about Big Ben isn’t good.

It’s Championship Week across college football, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’re paying attention to all of the great Championship Game odds and Week 14 odds for what should be a remarkable finale to as good of a season as we have seen in quite some time.

The week starts off on Thursday with the de facto Big East Championship Game. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are three point favorites to win the Big East outright, but the Louisville Cardinals are going to try to make a big time mess of the standings if they can pull off the upset. The atmosphere in Piscataway should be electric, and these two teams are very hard to separate. Neither has played well, and both are coming off of brutal losses, so the only tiebreaker that the oddsmakers really have is home field advantage, and that field goal is exactly the margin that Rutgers is favored by. This game also features one of the lowest ‘totals’ of the week at just 43 points, though the other Big East game of note between the Connecticut Huskies and the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday is even lower at 39.

From the world of defense to the world of offense in the MAC, where the MAC Championship Game odds are going to be as tightly contested as we have seen in years and years. The last time that the conference had this much of a buzz, the Ball State Cardinals were on the verge of busting the BCS, only to get knocked off by the Buffalo Bulls. Since then, this conference has been looked at as one of the worst in America, only just in front of the Sun Belt, but it has been a banner year for the MAC. Both the Kent State Golden Flashes and the Northern Illinois Huskies have a chance of going to the BCS. Kent State is almost a lock with a win, while Northern Illinois will clearly need a win and some big time help. There are actually three 1,000+ yard rushers in this game, so the points could be flying on the scoreboard in a hurry in spite of the fact that these two defenses are both quite stout. NIU is laying five thanks to QB Jordan Lynch, one of the most dynamic players in the country, though that number has already started dropping from the outset of the weekend with still plenty of time to go until kickoff.

The other clash on Friday is the Pac-12 Championship Game, where either the UCLA Bruins or the Stanford Cardinal will be celebrating with roses in their mouths. Yes, the trip to the Rose Bowl will be handed to the winner of this game. This is a rematch of last week’s game at the Rose Bowl Stadium, a game which Stanford won handily to move on to this spot and to host the conference title game. It’s one of the biggest games in the last 30 years of Stanford football, and it is also a chance for UCLA to prove that it is back on the map as a team to beat out West. Still, this is expected to be a one-sided blowout, with the Cardinal favored by nine on “The Farm.”

The Big XII has itself a big mess to try to work out this week, as there is at least one, and possibly two BCS bowl bids to hand out. The Kansas State Wildcats are in the driver’s seat right now, as they know that a win removes all doubt that they’ll be in the Fiesta Bowl. It’s Senior Day as well, and there will be a lot of emotion surrounding QB Collin Klein in his final game of his potential Heisman Trophy winning season. Klein needs a huge game to catch up to QB Johnny Manziel, but he has a chance to make the final statement in the final week of the campaign. Kansas State is one of the bigger favorites of this Championship Weekend, laying 10 tothe Texas Longhorns, who also have an outside shot of going to the BCS.

The biggest favorites though, are the West Virginia Mountaineers. They’re giving 20 to the Kansas Jayhawks in what should be the only game that has very little to no doubt as to who the victor truly will be.

That’s definitely not all from the Big XII, though. The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Baylor Bears are involved in what might be the wildest game of the season. The ‘total’ in this one is already set at 81.5, and we expect that that number is going to only go up as the week rolls on, as these are two of the best offenses (and worst defenses) that the conference and the nation have to offer. It’s the team that beat Oklahoma State last week though, the Oklahoma Sooners, that are under the most pressure. The Sooners are squaring off with the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, and they have to win this game to have any chance to get into the BCS. Lose this one, and it’s off to the Cotton Bowl at best. Win it, get some help, and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl is in the cards. Oklahoma is giving 6.5 to TCU, but the Horned Frogs have their sights set on a Senior Day victory in what has been an emotional first season in the Big XII full of ups and downs.

But of course, there are some big time conference title games to talk about as well. We’ll start in the ACC, where the Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are going to do battle in Charlotte. This date has been set for two weeks, but Florida State still has to have its work cut out for it after losing last week to the Florida Gators. The Noles are giving two touchdowns to the Jackets in spite of the fact that Head Coach Paul Johnson is one of the few coaches to have massive degrees of success against the garnet and gold in the ACC.

The Wisconsin Badgers are in a familiar spot in the Big Ten Championship Game, and they’re going to be trying to get back to an even more familiar situation with a third straight trip to the Rose Bowl if they can win this game. However, they’re in a very unfamiliar situation of being an underdog in the biggest game of the year in the Big Ten. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are trying to lock down their first ever Big Ten title, and if they can do that, they’ll be going to the Rose Bowl instead. Wisky is 2-0 ATS in this series, but it is going to have to figure out how to avenge the loss earlier this season in Lincoln to cover this one, as the Badgers are only +2.5.

Two smaller conference titles will be handed out on Saturday as well. In the Sun Belt, the Arkansas State Red Wolves are favored by 10 in what amounts to be the conference title game against the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Over in Conference USA, the UCF Knights and Tulsa Golden Hurricane meet for the second time in five years in the C-USA Championship Game. In this battle to go to the Liberty Bowl, the game is poised well at a pick ’em in spite of the fact that the Knights lost to Tulsa here at Skelley Field just two weeks ago.

And then there’s the tiny little matter of the SEC Championship Game dab smack in the middle of the day. The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs withstood the toughest and deepest conference in America, and now, they are just one win over the other away from playing for the BCS National Championship. Either way, the SEC team will be favored over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in another month and a half in Miami, but this is clearly as big of a game as there has been in years in this conference. Georgia is considered the heavy 7.5-point underdog in this one, but this is as close of a point spread as the Crimson Tide have faced (and will face) this year. The ‘total’ in this game is lined at 50.5, a very average number all things considered. Remember that QB Aaron Murray will probably make himself a Heisman Trophy finalist by winning this game, while the Tide have scored at least 33 against most of their foes this year. Remember though, that both of these defenses are top notch. It’s been over 128 minutes since Alabama has allowed a single point and over a month and a half since UGA has allowed more than 14 in a game.

We know what we’re thankful for on this Thanksgiving week, and that’s a whole heck of a lot of football betting action! Here at Bankroll Sports, we are analyzing the Week 12 NFL odds and making our NFL Week 12 picks for the best games on the docket for the week ahead.

Of course, we have to start on Thanksgiving Day, where there are a lot of road teams that are showing some tremendous promise. In fact, in a somewhat rare twist, all six of the teams that are going to be playing on Turkey Day this year at least have a puncher’s chance at making the playoffs.

First timers of Thanksgiving Day football, the Houston Texans are going to be taking on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. These are two teams that are headed in opposite directions right now, as the Texans are as hot as could be, while the Lions have dropped two in a row and might be in some massive trouble when push comes to shove. This is probably a must win for Detroit, especially with the NFL schedule that lies ahead, but matters don’t really look all that good for it, knowing that it is a three-point home dog to a superior Houston outfit.

The Cowboys are the other regulars on Thanksgiving Day, but the difference between them and the Lions is that they generally win. Detroit generally loses. The Cowboys are the only of the three home teams that are favored on Thanksgiving Day, as they are giving 3.5 to the Washington Redskins. The winner of this one is going to be in second place in the NFC East, while the loser will drop to third. Both teams are still chasing the Giants though, and both know that this is a great chance this week to try to cut the deficit in the division.

The last game of the night features the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. This clash ended with a New England victory in overtime the first time out this year, and both are gearing up for another close one. The Pats opened this one up at -6.5 before the news that TE Rob Gronkowski might miss the rest of the regular season with a broken forearm. Odds have it, the adjustment will be minor, but definitely will be at least in the backs of the minds of NFL bettors before they place their football bets in this one.

Sunday’s slate of action still has a lot of question marks at the moment. The Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t know what the heck is going on with QB Jay Cutler and QB Ben Roethlisberger respectively, though we have a hunch that both will sit. The Bears take on the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial game that will likely help decide whether either of these teams are going to be able to hang around for the rest of the year. Pittsburgh faces the Cleveland Browns in a sandwich game between the loss to the Ravens and the road game in Baltimore in lucky Week 13.

The showcase game of the weekend will be one of the late afternoon games. The San Francisco 49ers — most likely with QB Alex Smith — are going to have to go on the road to the Bayou to take on the New Orleans Saints, who are quietly back to .500 and quietly just a game out of the playoffs after a disastrous 0-4 start to the season. Interim Head Coach Joe Vitt knows that this is probably the biggest coaching game of his career, and he very well could be auditioning for another big time job here in the spotlight of Sunday night. The game has opened at a pick ’em, and it should be quite a great battle between arguably the best offense and arguably the best defense in the conference.

Not to be outdone is Sunday Night Football between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers. The G-Men are in control of the NFC East, but regardless of what happens on Thursday in Big D, the gap in the division will be a heck of a lot tighter if this one is lost. QB Eli Manning has played terrible football of late, while QB Aaron Rodgers continues to impress and might be the best quarterback that football has to offer. This is a rematch of the NFC Divisional playoff game from last year, one in which the G-Men came to Lambeau Field and beat the snot out of the Packers. Especially off of their bye week, this is why New York is laying 2.5 to Green Bay.

Unfortunately, the week ends with a dud of a game on Monday Night Football, as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Carolina Panthers. Both Head Coach Andy Reid and Head Coach Ron Rivera know that they are on some pretty hot seats right now, and the loser of this one is only going to be in worse shape. QB Nick Foles is almost certainly going to have to start once again in place of the injured QB Michael Vick, but there is still a supreme confidence that Philly, even after that dismal showing last week in our nation’s capitol, will be able to come up with a win. Philly is -2.5 against the Panthers.

The theme of the week is close NFL point spreads. There are only three games all week long that showcase games that are featuring teams that are greater than -3.5. The Cincinnati Bengals are getting the nod by 7.5 over the Oakland Raiders in their quest for the postseason, while the team at the head of the class in the AFC West, the Denver Broncos, are the biggest favorites of the week at -10 on the road against the hapless Kansas City Chiefs.

Aside from that though, everything is expected to be close. Potential AFC playoff teams are seemingly all going on the road this weekend. We’ve already discussed New England and Houston, but they clearly aren’t the only team that might have some problems on enemy soil. The Baltimore Ravens visit the San Diego Chargers and are laying 2.5 points, while the Steelers should be short favorites against the Browns as discussed earlier. Meanwhile, that could open the door for the Indianapolis Colts to get back in control in the AFC Wild Card race, as it hosts the Buffalo Bills. If the Bills are going to get back into the chase though, this is a game that has to be won. The oddsmakers are insinuating that this could be close though, knowing that the visitors are only getting a field goal after watching Indy get blown away by the Patriots last weekend.

The other major showcase game in the NFC this weekend sees the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going against the Atlanta Falcons. This is a tremendous opportunity for Tampa Bay to assert itself as a legitimate player in the role for the NFC title this year. The team is lined at a pick ’em to open up the week at home against arguably one of the best few teams in the league. The Falcons have been undervalued all year long though, and all they keep doing is winning. Still, they’re 9-1, and many have to think that they are going to get beaten in this one by a truly surging team.

The highest ‘total’ of the weekend thus far on the board is the 52.5 of the Bills and the Colts. In all likelihood, that will hold, and it might be the only ‘total’ that settles in the 50s this week. However, the Jets and Patriots started off the week at 50 as well. There are two games in the 30s as well, neither of which we have discussed quite yet. The Miami Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks are expected to reach just 37.5 points, while the Hawks are laying a point and a half on the road. The Arizona Cardinals, giving two to the St. Louis Rams in the desert, also only figure to play in a game that features just 37.5 points.

Week 13 of the 2012 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2012 Week 13 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 13 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

It’s rivalry week in college football, and the truth of the matter is that the standings and the NCAA football odds tend to really not matter all that much when push comes to shove in these games. For as many surprises as there have been this year, about the only thing that would be shocking on the week of Thanksgiving would be if there were no surprises by the time Saturday afternoon was said and done with.

We’ll start with the midweek games, as there are clashes on both Tuesday and Thursday this week. The Toledo Rockets are expected to finish up a great season at home at the Glass Bowl, and they are going to be laying 18.5 against the Akron Zips in the first game of the week. On Thursday meanwhile, the Texas Longhorns and TCU Horned Frogs are going to be doing battle against one another in a Lone Star State rivalry game. The Horns, who might control their own destiny to go to the BCS, are -8 at home against the Horned Frogs, who are hoping to pull off a big upset to get back up the Big XII bowl ladder as their regular season winds down.

However, more important are all of the massive rivalry games on Saturday that are worth noting. The biggest and most important of the bunch pits the USC Trojans against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. This is the last game of the year for both of these teams. USC is going to try to stop its big time losing streak, and if it does, it will have knocked the Golden Domers out of the title game. If not, the next plane tickets that Notre Dame can book are to Miami for the National Championship Game. One would figure that the Irish will be favored in this game, knowing that QB Matt Barkley has already been confirmed as out of the lineup for this one. For now though, the game remains as one of the two massive rivalry games that are still off the board, joining the very important duel in Tallahassee between the Florida State Seminoles and the Florida Gators.

Most of the other big time games are listed on the NCAA football odds this week, and some are a heck of a lot closer than others.

**Click Here for the World’s Most Profitable Sports Betting System**

We’ll start with the games that are expected to be blowouts. The Alabama Crimson Tide are very lucky to now be two wins away from the National Championship Game for the second straight year. They have the Auburn Tigers this week in Tuscaloosa, and you can bet that there will be vengeance on the minds of the Tide. The last time Auburn was here at Bryant Denny Stadium, the team stormed back from down 21-0 to shock Alabama 28-21 in a game that not only took Alabama out of the title game, but it put the Tigers in it as well. This year? If Alabama jumps out to a 21-0 lead, expect the next 28 to go to the Tide as well. They’re favored by 31, making them one of the biggest favorites on the board of the entire weekend.

The team that Alabama is going to play in the SEC Championship Game is the Georgia Bulldogs, though the Dawgs have to be quite careful not to look past their rivals this week, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Georgia losing would be about the only road to the National Championship for any other teams aside from SEC schools and Notre Dame in all likelihood, so there are going to be a lot of teams that are hoping the triple option gives the Bulldogs fits. G-Tech is going to be scoreboard watching to determine whether it will be in the ACC Championship Game or not, but it is going to want to win this one to make sure that it doesn’t have to file an appeal to get into a bowl game this year. (Note: The appeal would almost certainly be won even if the Yellow Jackets finished 6-7 after losing to Florida State in the ACC Championship Game) The Bulldogs are laying just 13, which feels like a number that is very, very low considering how far apart these two teams are in reality.

There are other college football rivalry games that aren’t expected to be all that close this year either. The Washington Huskies are favored by 11 in the Apple Cup against the Washington State Cougars, while the LSU Tigers are giving 12.5 to the Arkansas Razorbacks. We’ve seen odd results in both of these games over the course of the last several years though, and this year might not be all that much of an exception. The Virginia Tech Hokies is favored by 10.5 in a game against hated Virginia Cavaliers, and the Hokies have to have that one just to qualify for a bowl game this year.

And then there are some rivalry games that are expected to be a heck of a lot closer than this. The Oregon Ducks are going to have to go to Reser Stadium in one of the biggest versions of the Civil War in quite some time. The Ducks will be knocked clear out of the title picture if the Oregon State Beavers can pick up a ‘W’ as 10.5 point underdogs on Saturday. The Oklahoma Sooners, another team hoping to get into the BCS this year, are going to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Bedlam as 8.5 point favorites. The annual game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes is always a tight one as well, and this year, the host Bucks are five point favorites to close out the year unbeaten with a chance to be the only spotless team in America when push comes to shove. The Arizona Wildcats and Arizona State Sun Devils could both be fighting to stay in the Pac-12 bowl ladder and to avoid having to play an East Coast bowl game, and in this one, Arizona is laying 2.5. Mississippi State is getting a point against the Ole Miss Rebels in the Egg Bowl this year in a game that the Rebs have to win if they are going to qualify for a bowl game.

Maybe the biggest of the rivalry games is in the great state of South Carolina. The Clemson Tigers are going to take on the South Carolina Gamecocks. Both of these teams are fringe National Championship contenders if all hell breaks loose on Saturday, and this is a huge game for bragging rights and computer votes in both the SEC and the ACC. Clemson is trying to wrap up an 11-1 season and probably a spot in a BCS bowl game, while South Carolina needs a win and a lot of help to potentially be the second team out of the SEC into the BCS. This is a crucial game for both teams, especially with the recruiting trail just about set to heat up as well. The hosts are laying four in Death Valley for this clash.

Not everything is a traditional rivalry game this week, though. The Miami Hurricanes will win the ACC Coastal Division if they can beat the Duke Blue Devils as 5.5 point favorites on Saturday in one of the more important clashes of the day. That game pales in comparison though, to the duel at the Rose Bowl, where the UCLA Bruins and the Stanford Cardinal are going to do battle. The Cardinal are the road team in this one, but if they win this game, these same two teams will meet next week in Palo Alto with a spot in the Rose Bowl on the line. Should Stanford lose, Oregon will be in the Pac-12 title game and host the affair if it beats Oregon State. If Stanford loses and Oregon loses, Oregon State will go instead. To make it all work for the Cardinal, they’re going to have to beat a 1.5 point spread which sees them favored at the outset of the weekend.

Other games of note… The Baylor Bears are -2 in a game they probably have to win to get to a bowl game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Michigan State Spartans have one last chance as 7.5 point favorites to get into a bowl game on the road at the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Meanwhile, in a similar game, the Purdue Boilermakers are -5.5 against the Indiana Hoosiers. A victory will send the Boilers to a bowl game this year. In the Big East, the Pitt Panthers, playing a must win game to keep their bowl hopes alive, take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and are -2 in the game, while the Louisville Cardinals are -12.5 against the Connecticut Huskies. Louisville might need that game to make next week’s game against Rutgers the de facto Big East Championship Game, while UConn has to win these last two games of the year to make it to a bowl. The West Virginia Mountaineers are -1.5 at the Iowa State Cyclones in a game that WVU needs to qualify for a bowl at last after starting 5-0.

The biggest favorites of the weekend are the Utah State Aggies, who are -39 against the lowly Idaho Vandals. There are a total of eight games this week that feature games with point spreads of at least 20, but just two, Utah State and Alabama, are favored by at least 30.
