For several years, the Indianapolis Colts were one of the safest bets on NFL games that could’ve been made. After the 2011 that saw Manning depart with the team, the Colts have enjoyed continued success with Andrew Luck under center. That success includes three consecutive seasons where the Colts finished with an 11-5 record, and two consecutive seasons where they won the division. Unfortunately for Colts fans, that success came to an abrupt stop in 2015 when Indianapolis struggled to finish 8-8. With that record the Colts failed to qualify for the playoffs, but fans were hopeful that a new season would bring new success.
People who bet on NFL will surely favor the Pittsburgh Steelers and red-hot Ben Roethlisberger when they visit the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, October 16th. The NFL betting online odds for that game are as follows: Steelers -7½ (-110) 47 (-110) Dolphins +7½ (-110) 47 (-110)
The San Francisco 49ers are among the surest propositions among people who bet on NFL, and they head once again as NFL betting online underdogs to a clash with the on-a-roll Buffalo Bills on Sunday, October 16th at New Era Field. 49ers +8 (-110) 44 (-110) +270 262 Bills -8 (-110) 44 (-110) -335
The Cleveland Browns are five-for-five. Five QBs in five weeks, that is. Record-wise, they are 0-5, which should be enough to make them NFL betting online underdogs versus the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, October 16th at Nissan Stadium. Here are the odds for fans who bet on NFL: Browns +7½ (-115) 44½ (-105) Titans -7½ (-105) 44½ (-115)
The Denver Broncos were one of the few teams that remained undefeated in the NFL. But Denver’s undefeated streak came to an abrupt end this past weekend when they faced the Atlanta Falcons at home. Many fans thought picking the Broncos was a solid bet on NFL games, but in the end Atlanta’s offense proved to be too much for Denver. There’s no question that the Broncos’ defense is the strongest aspect of this team, but their offenses had still managed to lead them to victory the first 5 weeks of the season.
If you were looking to bet on NFL futures within the NFC West, the Seattle Seahawks seemed like the way to go. While picking the Seahawks may have seemed like the safest and most logical prediction to make within the West, things haven’t exactly panned out that way. The Seahawks had a perfect opportunity in Week 2 to take the lead in the division by beating the Los Angeles Rams.
Heading into the 2016 season, most sportsbooks were giving the reigning NFC West Champions, the Arizona Cardinals, pretty good odds to win the division for the second year in a row. They might not have been the favorite (that honor belonged to the Seattle Seahawks) but the Cardinals still had the 2nd best odds to win the NFC West. Unfortunately for fans of the Cardinals, Arizona hasn’t quite been living up to its preseason expectations. The Cardinal’s woes began when they faced the New England Patriots in their 2016 debut.
The NFL is finally starting to quiet back down and get used to idea that Tom Brady has indeed returned. The fans know it, the sportsbooks know it, and the rest of the NFL is well aware. With Brady back under center the New England Patriots have risen to the top of the NFL Power Rankings. But their ranking is well deserved. Through the first four weeks of the season the Patriots ranked near the top of the NFL in every statistic worth mentioning.
Top sportsbooks had the Green Bay Packers pegged as the favorites over the New York Giants this past weekend, and the Green and Gold did not fail to disappoint. Beating the Giants had enormous playoff implications for Green Bay, especially when considering the current standings in the NFC North. Right now the Vikings lead the division with their undefiled 5-0 record, but the Pack is close behind them at 3-1. Green Bay’s only loss this season has come at the hands of their longtime rival the Vikings, so needless to say Minnesota has one up over the Packers.
Coming as no surprise to the online football betting community, Tom Brady tore apart the Cleveland Browns secondary in his first game back after serving his 4-game suspension. Brady and Patriots fans are eager to put the future Hall of Famer’s second cheating scandal behind them as soon as possible, and what better way to do it then by pummeling what many consider to be the worst team in the NFL. Through the first 5 weeks of the season, the Browns are the only team that has yet to win a game. While a large part of that has to do with Cleveland’s seemingly endless woes at the quarterback position, there’s little the doubt the Browns would’ve ever been able to upset the Pats, regardless of who they had under center.
