Thursday Night Football is back once again in the NFL this week, and two teams that are fighting and clawing to stay in the playoff race in their respective conferences will do battle, as the Miami Dolphins play host to the Chicago Bears. Check out these NFL props picks for the showdown in South Beach that could be extremely exciting on the NFL Network.

Will Devin Hester Score a Touchdown?
Don’t kid yourself. Though Hester is getting fewer touches this year, if you bet this prop at this price every single game this season, you’ve done fairly well, picking up 1.8 units. Remember that you get punt return touchdowns as well as scores, as any TD is a TD. Hester is probably going to get a ton of chances to return punts in this one, as the Dolphins have plenty of offensive problems to deal with. It only takes one stroke of genius to win this prop, and though we hate betting things like this, we also realize that there are times that the oddsmakers are just off. This is one of those times. Go with Hester to Score a Touchdown (+170 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Thursday Night Football.

Total Punts Over/Under 9.5
This is a fairly standard prop at a very standard price, but this isn’t such a very standard game that we’re dealing with. These two defenses are built like rocks and are specifically designed to stop the other. Miami has a tremendous pass rush and is good enough up the middle of the defense to be able to hold down a Chicago offensive line that is just atrocious at run blocking. The Bears have the No. 2 rush defense in the game and clearly have the best unit against ground games aside from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brad Maynard, Chicago’s punter, has booted the ball at least four times all but once this year, and he has kicked at least five punts in six of the Bears’ nine games. This is an incredibly high number of punts for a punter right now. Miami’s punter, Brandon Fields, hasn’t had nearly as much work this year, as he only has booted the pigskin away more than four times twice. However, this could be the ugliest game that either team plays all season long. With NFL odds like this, we have no choice but to go with there to be Over 9.5 punts (-130 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Anthony Fasano Over/Under 2.5 Receptions
We’re so afraid on NFL props like this one, because we never really know whether recent trends are going to hold true or not. However, we have no choice but to believe here, as Fasano has caught at least three balls in four straight games and has really become a great check down option when things are getting rough. You can bet with the Bears bringing heat off the corner with DE Julius Peppers and company, that QB Tyler Thigpen, assuming that he is the starter, is going to really want to force the ball in to Fasano’s hands at least a few times just to get the big tight end involved and to loosen up the pass rush just a tad. We have to get to at least three catches, right? We’ll take Fasano Over 2.5 Receptions (-130 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Week 12 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 12 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 12 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The 2010 college football betting campaign has just three weeks left, and this could be the most intense week of the campaign to date.

The Big Ten is going to be the conference with the most pressure on it over the course of the day on Saturday. No one is expecting the Michigan State Spartans to struggle this weekend, as they are playing the Purdue Boilermakers at home. Purdue still really doesn’t have a heck of a lot of offensive options, while the Spartans know that they very well could just be two wins away from the Rose Bowl. The Wisconsin Badgers are heading to the Big House as well to take on the Michigan Wolverines.

The big game of the day in this conference though, involves the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Iowa knows that its Rose Bowl hopes probably went up in flames last week with a loss to the Northwestern Wildcats. The Buckeyes are probably in the driver’s seat for the time being, though they know that they do still need some help to Pasadena once again. Losing this game probably takes away any opportunity to do anything better than go to the Capital One Bowl or the Outback Bowl. The Buckeyes are three point favorites at Kinnick Stadium, a place where they have really historically struggled.

The ACC Atlantic Division is up in the air right now, as the Florida State Seminoles and Maryland Terrapins both think that they are still on their way to the conference championship game. The Terps know that they are two wins away from winning the Atlantic Division, but they are probably going to be underdogs in their final two games of the campaign, both of which are played at home. The Noles, who need to win out and get a loss from the North Carolina State Wolfpack, are favored by four points on the road.

Meanwhile, NC State is a 2.5 point underdog on the road to the North Carolina Tar Heels in one of the week’s biggest games.

The ACC Coastal Division will be decided on Saturday if the chalk holds up. The Virginia Tech Hokies are 2.5 point favorites at the Miami Hurricanes. If V-Tech wins, it will officially be back on the map, one win away from a place in the Orange Bowl, in a season that could have been a certified disaster after losing to the James Madison Dukes way back in Week 2 of the year. The Canes need to win out and have the Hokies lose their ACC finale to go to their first ever ACC Championship Game.

In the Big East, the Pitt Panthers are trying to get back on the horse in conference play, as they know that they can win out and go to the Fiesta Bowl. However, stopping in Tampa Bay against the South Florida Bulls is never an easy task, as is demonstrated by the fact that they are only 2.5 point favorites on the afternoon.

The SEC doesn’t have a heck of a lot of action on Saturday, as most of the teams are getting ready for their rivalry games next week. Two of the big foes, the Arkansas Razorbacks and LSU Tigers are both in action though, and both could be facing some tough tests from two other rivals. The Hogs are traveling to the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the SEC West, while the Bayou Bengals are at home against the Mississippi Rebels. Arkansas is a 3.5 point favorite, while LSU is the choice of the oddsmakers by 16 points. Should either of the favorites lose, they will be knocked out of the running for a BCS bowl game, and in the case of the Tigers, for the BCS National Championship as well.

Once again, the biggest favorites on the weekend are the Nevada Wolf Pack, who are favored by 37.5 points against the hapless New Mexico State Aggies. The Boise State Broncos are 30.5 point chalks at home against the Fresno State Bulldogs in one of the biggest tests that it has to face this year.

Complete List of Week 11 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 11 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 11 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 11 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Heavy, heavy favorites are the theme in the Week 11 NFL lines, and making your NFL picks is going to be even more difficult for this slate of games; especially considering the fact that some of these teams are playoff contenders that are catching some of these humungous NFL spreads.

Case in point: One team is in first place in its division, ranks No. 2 in the NFL in rushing, averages 26.1 points per game, and ranks No. 6 in overall defense. The other is in second place in its division, ranks No. 22 in scoring in the league and No. 9 in overall defense. Can you tell me which team is favored by 7.5 points and who the two teams are? The former is the Oakland Raiders, who are in front of the AFC West for the first time in years this late in the season. The latter is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are coming off of an awful beating at the hands of the New England Patriots last week. Pittsburgh, which is hosting this game, is favored by a whopping 7.5 points.

Here’s another example: The Houston Texans have turned up on the wrong side of three games this year decided by six points or fewer that legitimately could have gone either way. The New York Jets have won three such games in the other direction, including back to back on the road in overtime in games that they probably had no business winning. Yet, when these two meet at New Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Houston is a seven point underdog.

Though sometimes, NFL betting lines are about perception, sometimes, that perception is absolutely a reality. The Carolina Panthers are absolutely that bad, and even though they are playing at home on Sunday, they are a 9.5 point underdog to the Baltimore Ravens, who have had a week and a half to prepare for this game. Carolina is absolutely overmatched and will likely come into this game with the mentality that it just wants to survive what the nasty Ravens are bringing. Baltimore has been known to trip in road games though, so this is by far not a sure thing.

Arguably two of the most interesting games this weekend involve four teams that didn’t make the playoffs last season in the NFC. The Atlanta Falcons might be the top team in the conference this year though, and they have to travel to the new upstarts of the league, the St. Louis Rams. Also at 4:05, the San Francisco 49ers, fresh off of their two game winning streak, will hope to continue to claw back into the race in the NFC West as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are one of the most pleasantly surprising teams in the NFL this year. Both the Falcons and Niners are three point chalks on the NFL odds.

The game of the weekend might be going on in Foxboro though, as the New England Patriots try to keep up with their best record in the NFL when they take on the Indianapolis Colts. Both of these teams have showed some holes this season, and they both have been weak at one time or another. Injuries have decimated both, but both are tied for the league in their respective divisions as well. This is the highest ‘total’ of the weekend at 51, and the Pats are three point home chalks in what should be a very, very entertaining game.

On Monday Night Football, the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos meet to try to get closer in the AFC West race. Off of their bye week, everyone is hopping on the San Diego bandwagon, as many think this is a repeat of last year when the Bolts just ran away and hid from the rest of the division. San Diego is favored by 9.5 points, making it the biggest home favorite and tied for the biggest overall favorite on the weekend.

NFL Football Picks: Odds to Be Dallas Cowboys Head Coach in 2011

The Dallas Cowboys are just a few hours away from kicking off their first game in the Jason Garrett era. After the removal of HC Wade Phillips, we know that the Cowboys are going to have their work cut out for them to get back to the top in the NFC East. Garrett has the interim tag for the rest of the season, and he is the first man in the history of the Dallas franchise to have that title. We take a look at the prospects and the NFL odds for who will be the next coach of the Cowboys in the first week of the 2011 season!

Bill Cowher 4 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
We do know that Jones has spoken to some men that have shown interest in this job that have previous Super Bowl winning experience before, but we aren’t so sure that Cowher is one of them. The former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach doesn’t really seem to fit in Dallas all that well, and we’re not so sure that he has what it takes to transform this passing team into one with the vicious ground game that he desires. We’ll see him with the Carolina Panthers or back in the booth once again next year.

Bill Parcells 10 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Been there, done that. Dallas isn’t going there again. The Big Tuna has had enough of coaching.

Brian Billick 25 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Interesting odds here on Billick, because he definitely does fit the mold as a potential man that has won the Super Bowl. Though we aren’t so sure that Jones is really willing to sign a man that has been out of football for so long, these are definitely some intriguing NFL odds with the information that we currently have to deal with.

Jason Garrett 2.5 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
If Garrett can find a way to go 5-3 or better in the second half of the season, it’s going to be really, really hard for Jones to take the job away from him. Truth be told, the offense really hasn’t been a problem here in Dallas over the years. The defense has really been the unit that has let the team down. Garrett isn’t at fault. Truth be told, this was the man that Jones wanted to hire when he hired Phillips as his head coach, but there was speculation about whether he was really ready to guide a team to the Super Bowl. Garrett has been a lifetime Cowboy having played quarterback as Troy Aikman’s backup for years, and he clearly makes the most sense to take over next year.

Jim Harbaugh 8 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Harbaugh has been the main man in college that has been rumored to jump to the NFL as a head coach, and it really only seems like a matter of time until that happens. This would be a very sexy pick for Jones to make, as it would come with glitz and glamour. Having “Captain Comeback” as your head coach would certainly draw a lot of attention. The only question in our minds here is whether Harbaugh, a West Coast guy, is willing to trade in his sunglasses for a pair of cowboy boots. We’re not so sure that he is going to lead “The Farm” this year, as the Stanford Cardinal really are on the verge of something special. If he does go to the pros, he might want to go to a place where his QB Andrew Luck is going as well.

John Fox 3.5 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Of the coaches that are currently in the NFL, Fox is the only one that makes a lot of sense for the Cowboys. Though he has never won the Super Bowl, Fox did guide the Carolina Panthers to one back in 2003-04, and many think that he has just been given a raw deal on Tobacco Road with a team that just isn’t all that talented. Dallas certainly doesn’t have that problem. If you’re a believer that Jones is going after a coach with a lot of experience, this is your man.

Jon Gruden 2.5 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
You know with Gruden, you’re getting a workhorse that is going to sit there and study tape for hours on end for your team. The argument could be made that Gruden would still have his job had the Bucs beat the Oakland Raiders two years ago on the final day of the regular season. You know that he wants to get back in the coaching ring but would only take one of a handful of jobs. This is certainly one of them. Again, this is another coach that has won the Super Bowl in the past and could do it again in Big D. If Garrett flounders, this could be the man for the Cowboys.

Leslie Frazier 10 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
So let’s get this straight. You think that Jones is going to be bringing in a guy with no head coaching experience to run his club? Dream on.

Marty Schottenheimer 15 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Though we know that Schottenheimer got a raw deal in San Diego, he could never win the big game. It’s Super Bowl or bust for the Cowboys. This isn’t the man that can win a championship for this city.

Marvin Lewis 5 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Haha! Lewis can’t even make it with the Bengals, let alone with the Cowboys. He might get an interview after he gets fired by Cincinnati this year just as the token minority coaching candidate, but Lewis has absolutely no chance of actually landing this job.

Mike Zimmer 15 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Zimmer is a combination of a dud with the Bengals and an assistant with no head coaching experience. No thank you.

Tony Dungy 25 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook
Though we are fairly sure that Dungy is staying retired, we know that this would be the man that Jones would want grazing his sidelines as the head coach. Yes, Dungy is a past Super Bowl winning coach, and yes, he does fit the bill as a perfect man for Jones. And yes, it’s even true that Dungy would probably be No. 1 on Jones’ list. But let’s be realistic here. Dungy is retired for a reason. He is a family man that wants to continue to do good for a his children and his community. Picking up and moving to Dallas just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, and that’s why the pro football odds are so long on him becoming the next coach of the Cowboys.

NFL Football Picks: Monday Night Football Props (11/15/10)

The Washington Redskins could have their 2010 NFL betting campaign put on the line on Monday Night Football, as they are taking on their divisional rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles at home in a huge encounter. We here at Bankroll Sports, have all of our Monday Night Football prop picks available for you for the upcoming MNF tussle.

Longest Field Goal Over/Under 44.5 Yards
This isn’t a prop that we go after often, but we’re talking about two kickers here that have some very strong legs and aren’t going to miss many from this type of a range. K David Akers has blasted six field goals already this year of at least 40 yards, and he has had four games in which he booted one from at least 45 this year. For his career, Akers is 94-for-143 from 40+ yards, and we know that he is going to be given a great chance to do his thing at some point during this game as long as the Washington defense doesn’t just roll over and die. However, we have confidence in K Graham Gano as well for Washington. Gano hasn’t had all that many chances this year to connect from 40+ yards, but he has taken advantage, going 5-for-6 from 40-49 yards. Though he is 0-for-2 from 50+ yards, we know from his days with Florida State that he can boot it 60 if need be. He has four games this year with at least one 45 yard boot as well. This is probably somewhere between a 66% and 75% chance of winning this prop, and we only have to pay -120 for it. You betcha. The longest field goal of this game will be Over 44.5 Yards (-120 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Michael Vick Over/Under 240.5 Passing Yards
When the Eagles faced the Redskins the first time, all that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman kept mentioning is how bad this Washington secondary really is. They’re a bunch of gamblers there that are prone to giving up the deep ball. After Vick left the game injured in the second quarter, QB Kevin Kolb had no desire to try to push the ball up the field. However, when you’ve got a cannon for an arm, WR DeSean Jackson, and WR Jeremy Maclin to work with, you just absolutely have to use those weapons and test those biting corners. This is a great spot for Vick to really shine and show off his arm. We wouldn’t be all that surprised if he hit three or four real bombs in this game, and in spite of the fact that he might not complete all that many passes, we have confidence that he will use these weapons to the fullest and go Over 240.5 Passing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Will DeSean Jackson Score a Touchdown?
Interesting line here. We tend to want to stay away from these props, as the sportsbooks generally have these right, but this is a big game in which big plays are going to have to be made. Jackson is the best candidate to catch a TD, run for a trick play, or run a kick or punt back the distance as well. Remember, don’t just focus on what the Cal Golden Bear can do as a wide out. Any touchdown that isn’t a passing score does it for us here. Do you really think that Jackson isn’t scoring at least once in the biggest game of Philadelphia’s season? Knowing if he only does it half the time gives us some tremendous profitability, we have no hesitations going with Jackson to Score a TD (+115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) against the Redskins.

Jeremy Maclin Over/Under 54.5 Receiving Yards
Remember the argument that we made for Vick to go ‘over’ his total number of passing yards? We’re going to use the exact same argument that supports Maclin exceeding this relatively low total. One well place deep ball could get Maclin there by itself, and we know that Vick is going to be using him quite a bit in this game. There are no doubts in our minds that Maclin will go Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Week 10 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 10 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 10 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Divisional battles and big time rivalries should spark some fantastic games in Week 10 of the NFL campaign, and we have our pro football picks ready and raring to go for all of the action!

Where else could we start than on Thursday night, where the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons will meet in the Georgia Dome for the first midweek game of the fall in the NFL. These two teams are tied with the best record in football at 6-2, and they are both on the verge of losing their respective grips on the strongholds in their divisions. Atlanta knows that this is a huge game, as it would mark a third victory already on the season against the AFC North, but Baltimore seems to be back on track after straying just a bit in recent weeks. The hosts are ever so slender one point chalks on the day.

Meanwhile, the AFC West lead could change hands if the implication of the oddsmakers is right at Mile High Stadium on Sunday. The Denver Broncos are fresh off of their bye week, and they are coming back home after losing over in Jolly Ol’ England to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs showed some chinks in the armor last week against the Oakland Raiders, losing in overtime, and they know that a loss will take them out of first place in the division. KC has won games like this before, but this is going to be a tough one with the season most likely on the line for Denver. The Broncos and Chiefs are lined at a pick ’em.

Meanwhile in the NFC West, there is very likely going to be not a single team over .500 by the time this week is said and done. The St. Louis Rams are 4-4 right now, but they are 5.5 point underdogs at the San Francisco 49ers, while the Seattle Seahawks are going to be playing the Arizona Cardinals in the other divisional tussle.

The game with the highest ‘total’ of the NFL week 10 lines, once again, features the Houston Texans and their league worst secondary. Houston is coming off of a crippling loss to the San Diego Chargers at home, and if it had won that game, it would be tied for first place in the AFC South. Instead, it is tied for last, and the loser of this week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars will be in last place in the division, while the winner will stay on the pace. The Jags are slight one point favorites off of their bye. The ‘total’ is set at 50, and if it were to go off the board at least at a half century, it would be just the second game this year with that many points posted on the ‘total’ by the oddsmakers.

Will he be the head coach, or won’t he be the head coach? That’s the question that is floating around in Valley Ranch, TX right now, as the Dallas Cowboys continue to try to pick up the pieces of a broken season that only seems to get worse and worse with each passing game. Dallas was knocked off last night on Sunday Night Football in embarrassing fashion by the Green Bay Packers, and for the first time all season, it finds itself as a double digit underdog. The ‘Boys are 14 point pups to the streaking New York Giants, who have won five in a row, including thumping Dallas in “Big D” just a few weeks ago.

The other two combatants in the NFC East will square off in our nation’s capitol in a great duel between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles. We think that this will be the first time that QB Donovan McNabb plays host to his old team after he beat the Eagles down in the City of Brotherly Love a few weeks ago. However, it was only two weeks ago that he was yanked by HC Mike Shanahan for a two minute drill, and now many are speculating whether it will be McNabb, or backup QB Rex Grossman that ultimately gets the call when Monday Night Football rolls around this weekend.

Week 11 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 11 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 11 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

There are only a few weeks left in the college football betting season, and this is going to be one of the more interesting and entertaining ones on the slate.

The three teams that everyone is going to be looking for this week are the Oregon Ducks, Auburn Tigers, and TCU Horned Frogs, as these three are the best contenders for the BCS Championship Game this year. The No. 1 team in the land, the Ducks, are hitting the road this weekend to take on the Cal Golden Bears. Auburn knows that the SEC West is there for the taking this week if it can just beat the Georgia Bulldogs at home at Jordan Hare Stadium. TCU has its hardest game left of the season, as it will welcome the San Diego State Aztecs to Fort Worth. All three teams are hefty favorites and are expected to get out of another week at No. 1, 2, and 3 in the BCS.

There are going to be a ton of division winners sorted out this week, starting right away on Tuesday with the duel between the Northern Illinois Huskies and the Toledo Rockets. The winner will most likely win the MAC West. With QB Austin Dantin on the sidelines and the Rockets hitting the road, they are in bad shape and are rightfully 10.5 point pups on Tuesday night.

On Thursday, the Pitt Panthers can move one step closer to the Big East crown, but they are going to be up against it with their visit to the UConn Huskies. These two teams typically play some hardnosed games, and this one should be no exception. Neither one of these squads is guaranteed a bowl game yet, but both are still absolutely in the conference championship race. UConn stands no chance if it loses this one though, and it is facing a five point NCAA football spread.

The Big East might not have a rep in the Top 25 of the BCS Rankings, but Conference USA does! The UCF Knights are in the Top 25 for the first time in school history, and they’ll take the field at Bright House Stadium against the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles in a game that can move them within just one win of the C-USA title game for the second time ever. UCF is favored by ten points.

The Big Ten has three games this week that could help sort out this gigantic mess in the race for the Rose Bowl. The Wisconsin Badgers are hefty three TD favorites against the Indiana Hoosiers, but the Iowa Hawkeyes and Ohio State Buckeyes will have tougher tussles. They’ll play the Northwestern Wildcats and Penn State Nittany Lions respectively. Both are double digit favorites, but both are potentially in some trouble.

There are only two battles this week that feature a pair of Top 25 teams, and both are being contested at 7:15 ET. The Mississippi State Bulldogs can add to the misery of the Alabama Crimson Tide, who have probably been knocked out of the BCS picture already. The Tide are favored by 13.5 points on Saturday, but they could be up against it with a tough MSU team that has already beaten the Florida Gators on the road this year.

The other game is clearly the most important of the day. The SEC East has had twists and turns all over the place this year, but it all comes down to just the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Florida Gators. South Carolina, coming off of a bad loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks, is a 6.5 point pup on the road in the Swamp, which is where HC Steve Spurrier hasn’t won since he donned the blue and orange visor. With a spot in the SEC Championship Game on the line, this is going to be one that you certainly don’t want to miss.

The biggest favorite of the weekend is the Nebraska Cornhuskers, which are favored by 35.5 points over the Kansas Jayhawks, who just came back from down 28 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Colorado Buffaloes. Honorable mentions go to the Boise State Broncos and LSU Tigers, both of which are also favored over the Idaho Vandals and Louisiana Monroe Warhawks by 30+ points.
