Brett Favre News

Why, Brett Favre, why? Why must Brett Favre keep doing this to himself, his team, his fans, and to the reputation of senior citizens everywhere. Brett Favre is acting like a typical old man; refusing to listen to the people that are suppose to look after him, (Head Coadh: Brad Childress), and insisting that he plays through injuries.

Yesterday Brett Favre busted up both his ankle and heel, and sources close to Favre are saying they have never seen him this hurt or dejected before. This is to say that Brett Favre is in no condition to play in Week 8, however something tells me Favre will force the start so that he can keep his iron man streak going, even if it hurts the Vikings.

Tarvaris Jackson Gets Ready

Then you have Tarvaris Jackson who was told he would have the starting position for the Vikings this season, but had it taken away when Favre un-retired. Jackson has been taking most of the snaps in practice but it is likely that Brett Favre will start in New England next week.

Tom Brady and his long hair will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 NFL betting. If you follow along NFL blogs and player chat boards you may have heard a lot of trash talking between these teams. Mostly it was a couple of no-name players on the Ravens that were talking smack about Tom Brady, which Tom Brady replied,

"Since I have been a Patriot we have played these guys 5 times, and all 5 times we have won, yet before and after every single game these guys have something to say. I myself let my play do the talking, maybe they should do the same."

Ouch! At the end of the day I pity the fool and anybody who has the nerve to talk trash about Tom Brady. Brady has how many Super Bowl rings, and how many models, and how many guest appearances as himself on Entourage? More than most.

New England Patriots Betting Odds

Now it's not all about Brady, the Patriots have a pretty good team and are looking pretty good this season, even without Randy Moss. NFL online sportsbooks have the Patriots as -3 point favorites in this one which seems pretty reasonable. Take the Pats at -3 and the UNDER 44.5 points.

New York Giants Betting Odds

When Eli Manning hosts a party, you know there are going to be plenty of chaperones and non-alcoholic beer as is the case at the New Meadowlands Stadium where Manning and the Giants will play gracious hosts to the Detroit Lions.

Unfortunately for the Detroit Lions, every team in the NFL marks a W next to the dates where they face the Lions. Even with all of the roster moves the Lions have made in the offeseason, they still have a tough time getting the Win.

NY Giants Betting Picks

The Bodog.com online sportsbook as the New York Giants favored at -10 points (-105) on point spread betting and the Lions at +10 points (-115). The total points are sitting at 43.5 points which should not be too hard to hit considering the numbers both of these teams have put up in their last few games.

If you have been following along with the progress of both of these teams this year you will notice that the Giants won some games because of good luck, whereas the Lions lost some games because of bad luck. Although I don't believe the Lions will win this game, this should be able to cover the spread.

Lay your money down on the Lions at +10 to cover.

Ben Roethlisberger Returns

The moment all NFL betting fans and College girls have been waiting for, Ben Roethlisberger is making his return to the NFL after serving out his 4 game suspension which was originally 6 games. Women and children lock your doors, Big Ben wants to play.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have done quite well without Roethlisberger. Between Dennis Dixon, Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich, the Steelers have a record of 3-1 without Ben. Undoubtedly the Steelers are a better team with Big Ben, but Mike Tomlin is really proud of his squad and how they were able to forge ahead without Roethlisberger in the lineup.

Ben Roethlisberger Makes His Debut

Ben's first game back isn't going to be a tough one, but he should be challenged just enough to see if he still has it. This Sunday the Cleveland Browns make their way into Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. Oddsmakers currently have the Steelers listed as -14 point home favorites which might sound crazy because this is not a College Football game, but considering how bad the Browns are and how good the Steelers can be with Roethlisberge in the lineup, the 14 point spread is justified.

Our free NFL betting pick is to take the Steelers at -14 points and for you to prepare yourself for a tsunami of Roethlisberger bandwagon jumpers come Monday.

Betting NFL Predictions

Now that Week 4 of the NFL betting season is in the books, our attention shifts towards the upcoming week. This week we have the Carolina Panthers hosting the Chicago Bears in Charlotte, North Carolina. From looking at the above picture, Jay Cutler is just as excited to be playing for Chicago as he was playing for Denver a couple of years ago.

As a Bronco Jay Cutler did not get much pass protection and spent most of his plays laying on the ground looking at interceptions being run back. Now as a Bear, he is getting smoked more than meat.

The Bodog.com online sportsbook currently has the Chicago Bears as -8 (-110) point favorites and the Carolina Panthers sitting at +8 (-110) betting odds on the point spread.

The Over/Under point totals on this match are sitting at O/U 40 ½ points at -110.

NFL Betting Week 5 Predictions
