NFL Against the Spread Online Betting Picks of The Week 14, Part Three

Ok, Down and dirty. These are small wagers only!

   Top Three Picks
   Middle of the Road Picks

The Seattle Seahawks (6-6) at The Minnesota Vikings (7-5)
Against the Spread: Seahawks 4-8-0 | Vikings 7-5-0
Game Time: 1:00 PM ET
Opening NFL Betting Line: OTB
Current High NFL Betting Line: Vikings -7.5 +105
Current Low NFL Betting Line: Vikings -6.5 -110 to -115
Over/Under 51u to 52u -110 to -113

Seattle manages to find a way to lose a game in every way imaginable. This week shows no appearance of being any different. Even Alexander, as good as he is, can't help medirocre coaching and poor decision making by Hasselbeck.

With no real defense to speak of, stopping the passing game of the Vikings seems like climbing Mt. Everest without a rope.

Vikings with Moss now recovered can kill you in the air. If that wasn't enough they have discovered something in the way of a running game with Onterrio Smith, and if they can put him back in Mewelde Moore.

My Online Betting Action: The Vikings -6.5


The N.Y. Jets (9-3) at The Pittsburgh Steelers (11-1)
Against the Spread: Jets 7-4-1 | Steelers 7-4-1
Game Time: 4:05 PM ET
Opening NFL Betting Line: The Steelers -5.5 -111 Over/Under 35.5u -105
Current High NFL Betting Line: Steelers -7 -115
Current Low NFL Betting Line: Steelers -5.5 -115
Over/Under 35.5u to 36u -104 to -110

Chad Looked pretty good all things considered. They won a big one that was much needed and much unexpected. Martin had another outstanding day and if that continues it could bolster there chances.

If the D can pressure Big Ben then all the better.

Pittsburgh has shown their weakness and now everyone knows what it is. With Duce still bothered (although not on the injury report) the Bus is going to be heavily relied on and they are still going to be without Burress plus they lost Riemersma last Sunday.

My Online Betting Action: The Jets +7


The San Fransisco 49ers (1-11) at The Arizona Cardinals (4-8)
Against the Spread: 49ers 5-7-0 | Cardinals 6-6-0
Game Time: 4:15 PM ET
Opening NFL Betting Line: Cardinals -6 -105 Over/Under 37u -112
Current High NFL Betting Line: Cardinals -8 –110
Current Low NFL Betting Line: Cardinals -5.5 -110
Over/Under 37u -110

The Cards will be getting Emmitt back and no matter who starts at QB the 49ers won't have an answer.

Arizona can proffer up something like a defense particularly against the pass. Since that's all that San Fran has...

San Fransisco is a bad bad team. Worse than Cinci was at their depths. So expecting anything from them is like expecting a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

My Online Betting Action: The Cardinals -5.5

The St. Louis Rams (6-6) at The Carolina Panthers (5-7)
Against the Spread: Rams 3-8-1 | Panthers 7-5-0
Game Time: 4:15 PM ET
Opening NFL Betting Line: OTB
Current High NFL Betting Line: Panthers -7.5 -110
Current Low NFL Betting Line: Panthers -6.5 –110
Over/Under 44u -110

The Rams are in a must win situation. Stephen Jackson is probably out, but Faulk should be a little healthier. Even if Bulger doesn't start Smoker has talent and knows his way around this offense. So assuming that Marts takes the fact that he's a rookie into account they could still pick up this much needed win.

Carolina is in about the same position but have less weapons to work with. They have shown up big as of late, but Delhomme is still bothered by his thumb and punter Todd Sauerbrun is bothered by a quad injury. That means a lot to a team that relies on their ability to pin opponents deep in their own territory.

My Online Betting Action: The Rams +7.5

The New Orleans Saints (4-8) at The Dallas Cowboys (5-7)
Against the Spread: Saints 4-8-0 | Cowboys 5-7-0
Game Time: 1:00 PM ET
Opening NFL Betting Line: OTB
Current High NFL Betting Line: Cowboys -8.5 -105
Current Low NFL Betting Line: Cowboys -6.5 -120
Over/Under 47.5u to 48u -110

New Orleans can't get much of anything right. Neither on offense nor on defense. They have talent just bad coaching and no sense of direction.

Dallas seems re-born with Julius Jones, and that has seemed to spark life in all kinds of places. Even the scrub defense played decently last week.

Dallas seems the better team, and the Saints are bad on the road and worse in Conference games.

My Online Betting Action: The Cowboys -6.5

Sorry if I've made any egregious errors, did this last run in about 30min. So do me a favor and point them out so I don't look like a complete moron.

And lastly, thank you for stopping to read my humble blog!
