Week 11 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 11 NFL matchups.

Thursday, November 18th, 8:20 ET: Chicago Bears @ Miami Dolphins
NFL Trends of Note
The Bears are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 as underdogs
The Fins are 10-4 ATS over the L/14 seasons in Week 11
Miami is just 6-25 ATS in its L/31 as a home favorite

Series History
Miami has come out and dominated this series in the 2000s, going 2-0 SU and ATS and winning both the game in the Windy City and the one in South Beach by exactly 18 points. The last win for Chicago in this series happened to also be its last win in Miami, a 36-33 OT win as 8.5 point underdogs in 1997. Since 1985, the Dolphins are 4-3 SU and ATS against the Bears.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 ET: Washington Redskins @ Tennessee Titans
NFL Trends of Note
The Redskins are 7-2-4 ATS in their L/13 played on grass
Washington is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 road games
The Titans have covered six of the seven meetings in this series since 1985

Series History
The Titans/Oilers franchise has really been dominant in this series, as they have won four of the seven meetings against the Redskins since the mid 1980s. Tennessee has actually only lost to Washington once as the road team, that coming in the most recent meeting in ’02. Aside from that though, this has been a series of all one way traffic. Four straight clashes have exceeded the ‘total’, and all four games have featured at least 42 points.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
NFL Trends of Note
Green Bay is 7-1-1 ATS in its L/9 against teams with losing records
The Pack are 12-5-1 ATS in their L/18 overall
Minnesota is 7-2-1 ATS in its L/10 played at Mall of America Field

Series History
If you like high scoring games that feature a ton of upsets, this is the rivalry for you. The ‘dog is 17-6 ATS in the L/23 duels in this series. The Packers had won four straight ATS and went 3-1 SU from the start of the 2007 season through the end of the ’08 campaign, but in 2009, this was a series that belonged to QB Brett Favre and the Vikes. Ironically, Favre’s team covered six in a row and this series and he went 7-1 SU from ’06 through the first meeting of this year. That’s when the Packers finally beat their old mates for the first time 28-24 at Lambeau Field.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Baltimore Ravens @ Carolina Panthers
NFL Trends of Note
The Ravens are winless ATS in their L/4 meetings against teams with losing records
Carolina has covered four straight ATS as double digit underdogs
The Panthers are only one for their L/5 ATS in games played in Week 11

Series History
Carolina had better enjoy its dominance in this series, because odds have it, that domination is over with on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens have never beaten the Panthers in franchise history, as the men in blue and black have gone 3-0 SU and ATS in as many meetings. The most recent affair was in 2006, a 23-21 win for the visiting Panthers. This is only the second time that Baltimore has traveled to Charlotte. In the only other meeting, the Ravens were beaten 10-7 in 2002.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Oakland Raiders @ Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Trends of Note
The Steelers are 1-9-2 ATS in their L/12 seasons in Week 11
Oakland is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 played in Week 11
The Steelers are 2-5-1 ATS in their L/8 home games

Series History
Strangely enough, this is a series that has gone the way of the silver and black more often than not. Oakland came back from a double digit deficit to win 27-24 here at Heinz Field as 14.5 point underdogs, and it has now won back to back games in this series. The Raiders are just 4-5 SU but 5-4 ATS in nine games against the Steelers since 1990. This will mark the sixth time in the L/7 meetings that these teams have collided in the Steel City.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Cleveland Browns @ Jacksonville Jaguars
NFL Trends of Note
The Browns are 12-4 ATS in their L/16 against AFC opponents
Cleveland is 11-5 ATS in its L/16 overall
The road team has gone 7-2 SU in the L/9 in this series

Series History
It’s strange to think that these two teams actually shared a division until the 2002 season. They met in the last game of last season, with Cleveland claiming a 23-17 victory in the Dawg Pound in a relatively meaningless game. It was the second straight win for the Browns both SU and ATS against the Jags. Jacksonville actually hasn’t beaten the Browns at home since 2000, going 0-3 SU and ATS in that stretch since that point. Of course that last win made up for all of those losses, as the Jaguars triumphed 48-0.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Houston Texans @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Texans are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 as road underdogs
New York has covered six of its L/8 overall
The Jets are 5-1 ATS in the games following their L/6 SU victories

Series History
The Texans and Jets have met four times in Houston’s history with two meetings coming in the Meadowlands and two coming at Reliant Stadium. Wherever the game is being played, the result has been exactly the same. New York is coming away with a comfortable victory, and the Texans aren’t scoring a heck of a lot of points. Houston has only averaged 9.8 points per game against the Jets, and it has an 0-4 record both SU and ATS to show for it. All four games have sailed ‘under’ the total.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Arizona Cardinals @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL Trends of Note
The Cards are just 2-6 ATS in their L/8 on the road
KC is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 played on grass
Arizona has never won a game at Arrowhead Stadium

Series History
That’s right, you read that properly. The Cardinals, dating all the way back to 1986, have never won here at Arrowhead. In fairness, they have only had two tries, but they have been outscored by an aggregate score of 83-24 in those two outings as well. These two are split right now the middle since the mid 1980s, as they are both 3-3 ATS. Kansas City holds a slight 4-2 SU edge, and as we have already stated, it is 2-0 ATS at home since the ’80s as well against the Redbirds.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Lions are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 as underdogs
Detroit is just 7-20-1 ATS in its L/28 played in the month of November
Dallas is the only team in the NFL yet to cover a game at home this season

Series History
These two teams have quite the history with one another, but ironically, the two Thanksgiving Day showcase teams haven’t met since 2007 and haven’t met on the eve of Thanksgiving week since 2005. The Lions have covered the L/2, losing 28-27 at home as 10.5 point pups in 2007 and winning 39-31 in Big D as 13 point dogs in 2006. Needless to say, both games flew past their ‘totals’. Dallas covered four straight from 2002 through 2005. The Lions even have a playoff victory to their credit against the Cowboys, a 15-10 win in 2002.

Sunday, November 21st, 1:00 PM ET: Buffalo Bills @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Bills are 11-4 ATS in their L/15 road games
Cincinnati is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 at home
The Bengals are 1-7 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a losing record

Series History
Things don’t look good for the Bengals based upon those NFL trends, and they don’t look all that special in this specific series history either. Cincinnati actually hasn’t beaten the Bills outright since the 1989 playoffs. Buffalo is 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS since that point. The Bengals have looked like the Bungals at home against Buffalo, losing 37-27 as 13.5 point favorites in 2005, 33-17 in 2004, and 33-20 in 1998, the only three meetings since that playoff encounter. Six of the L/8 have gone past the number as well, as Buffalo has scored at least 22 in nine straight in this series.

Sunday, November 21st, 4:05 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ New Orleans Saints
NFL Trends of Note
The Seahawks are just 3-11 ATS in their L/14 road games
Seattle is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with winning records
The Saints are 5-13 ATS in their L/18 games played in conference

Series History
Since 1985, these teams have only met on the gridiron eight times, and they are fairly evenly split in doing so. The Saints are 4-4 SU but only 3-5 ATS. Each team has two outright wins at home and two on the road. The ‘totals’ are split as well, with four games going ‘over’ and four going ‘under’. You have to go back to 1997 to find the last win for the Saints in this series at home, but there has only been one game here at the Superdome since that point. New Orleans marched to a 28-17 win in October 2007 in the most recent duel of these NFC squads at Qwest Field.

Sunday, November 21st, 4:05 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Bucs are 7-19 ATS in their L/26 games played on grass
San Fran is 10-3-2 ATS in its L/15 against teams with a winning record
Tampa Bay actually hasn’t won a game in the Bay SU since 1980

Series History
In fairness though, the home team has won seven straight in this series both SU and ATS, and the last time a road team won, the Niners were favored by 16 point in the Big Sombrero in 1993. The Bucs came close the last two meetings in San Fran, losing 21-19 and 15-10, but the bad news for them is that the Niners were significant dogs in both games, including in ’05 as 10.5 point choices of the oddsmakers. The ’07 ‘over’ marked the first time a game in this series went past the number since 1994, ending a five game ‘under’ streak.

Sunday, November 21st, 4:05 PM ET: Atlanta Falcons @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
The Falcons are just 2-2 SU and ATS on the road this season
St. Louis is 4-1 SU and ATS at home on the year
The Falcons are 1-7 ATS in their L/8 played on turf

Series History
This is a very interesting clash between teams that used to share a division. The Rams have covered eight of the L/11 duels, but the home team has won six straight SU. If you’re looking for high scoring games, this is the series for you! The winning team has scored at least 28 points in the L/10 meetings dating back to 1999 and has scored at least 35 points in six of the ten. Needless to say, seven of the ten went past the number. 2008’s 31-27 win for the Falcons at the Georgia Dome marked the first time that this series ended with a game closer than a dozen points since the 1990s. That was also the last time the Falcons won a game here in the Edward Jones Dome.

Sunday, November 21st, 4:15 PM ET: Indianapolis Colts @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 9-1-2 ATS in their L/12 against teams with a winning record
Indy is 12-4-2 ATS in its L/18 games on the road
The underdog is 11-3-2 ATS in the L/16 meetings of these arch rivals

Series History
The big question around water coolers this weekend is who the better quarterback is in NFL history, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady… At least based upon recent history, the answer is Manning. His Colts have won four of the L/5 SU and have gone 4-1-1 ATS in the L/6. If you take the aggregate score in the five games of these teams from 2006 to 2009 including the ’07 playoff win that famously sent Indy to the Super Bowl for the first time since moving from Baltimore, the score is incredibly tight. All five games were separated by seven points or less, and Indy holds a slender edge of 138-127.

Sunday, November 21st, 8:20 PM ET: New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles
NFL Trends of Note
The Giants are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 following a double digit home loss
New York is 12-3-1 ATS in its L/16 as road underdogs of a field goal or less
The underdog is 10-1 ATS in the L/11 in this series

Series History
The one exception was the last meeting of last season, when the Eagles flew up to the Meadowlands and came away with a thrilling 45-38 ‘W’. Philly has won four straight in this series, including the only 23-11 game in NFL history in Jersey in the ’09 postseason. The Giants had won back to back games in Philly in ’07 and ’08 before getting romped here in the City of Brotherly Love 40-17 last year.

Monday, November 22nd, 8:30 PM ET: Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 against teams following their bye week
San Diego is 5-1 ATS over the L/6 years in Week 11
The Bolts are 20-6 ATS in their L/26 games as home favorites ranging between 3.5 and 10.5 points

Series History
The Broncos are just 1-6-1 ATS in the L/7 clashes against their AFC West foes, but the one exception was last year’s duel at Qualcomm Stadium, a 34-23 win on Monday Night Football which propelled them to their 6-0 start and gave them a three game lead in the division… we all know what happened from that point forward… San Diego added salt to the wound by winning 32-3 at Mile High last year. San Diego has averaged scoring 36.5 points per game in the L/8 meetings, a number that, if it hits the board on Monday, will certainly leave the Broncos with absolutely no chance of survival.

Week 10 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 10 NFL matchups.

Thursday, November 11th, 8:20 ET: Baltimore Ravens @ Atlanta Falcons
NFL Trends of Note
The Falcons are 9-4-1 ATS in their L/14 games played in Week 10 of the season
Baltimore is 18-6-2 ATS in its L/26 as road pups of a field goal or less
The Ravens are just 1-4-1 ATS in their L/6 following an SU win of at least two TDs

Series History
There’s a ton of preseason history between these two intra-conference foes, but not a heck of a lot of regular season experience. The two have only met eight times since 1981, and it’s all bad news for the Falcons. Atlanta is just 2-6 SU and is 0-8 ATS, but both of those wins have come here at the Georgia Dome.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 ET: Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
NFL Trends of Note
The Jags are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 years in Week 10
Jacksonville is just 8-27 ATS in its L/35 played on grass
Houston is 11-5 ATS in the L/8 years in this series

Series History
The Texans might have gotten swept by their divisional rivals last season, but recent history suggests that Houston is going to be running away with these games. The Texans have had Jacksonville’s number in the past no matter how good the Jags have been, but really not until last year, were these teams considered to really be on a relatively even playing field.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears
NFL Trends of Note
The Vikes are 5-2-1 ATS in their L/8 against the NFC North
Chicago is 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played at home
The Bears are 3-9 ATS in their L/12 played on grass

Series History
If you’re a fan of high scoring games, this might be the series for you! The winning team has scored at least 34 in the L/4 games in this rivalry, while the loser has scored at least 30 in three of the L/6. The home team has won five in a row, including last year at the end of the regular season when the Bears upset the Vikes 36-30 in OT to help spoil any chances that Minnesota had to capture the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC playoffs.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins
NFL Trends of Note
Tennessee is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 against AFC foes
The Dolphins are 1-6-1 ATS in their L/8 played in Week 10
The home team has covered three straight in this series

Series History
These two teams have a very even history with one another in spite of the fact that they don’t really see each other all that often. Tennessee captured a 27-24 OT win last year at home against the Fins, but the two are split right down the middle at 5-5 ATS since 1992. The Dolphins hold a 7-3 SU edge, but all three of Tennessee’s wins have come since 2003.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Bengals are 3-13 ATS in their L/16 overall
The Colts are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a losing record
Indy is 10-4-1 ATS in its L/15 against teams from the AFC

Series History
The last time the Bengals came here to Indianapolis in a game that counted, it wasn’t exactly the prettiest thing in the world. Cincy was crushed 35-3. You have to go back well into the 2000s before you find the last Cincinnati win over the Colts in this series, and many of the scores have been incredibly lopsided. Think that Peyton Manning likes playing against these guys? He’s thrown for almost 1,000 yards and ten TDs in his last three duels against the Bengals.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Trends of Note
The Panthers are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 overall
Carolina is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 against teams with winning records
The Bucs are 3-14 ATS in their L/17 home games

Series History
The Bucs have never really had much luck against the Panthers, as they only snapped a three game losing streak both SU and ATS earlier this year at Bank of America Stadium. Tampa Bay doesn’t have a win against the Panthers at home since ’08 and hasn’t won two straight in this series in a number of years. With QB Matt Moore out of the lineup, this is likely to be the first time that QB Jimmy Clausen sees Tampa Bay as a starter in his career.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
NFL Trends of Note
New York is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 road games
The Browns are 9-2 ATS in their L/11 against the AFC
Cleveland is 11-4 ATS in its L/15 overall

Series History
There have only been four meetings between the Browns and Jets all-time, and three of the four meetings went the way of Cleveland. The Browns scored wins of 24-18, 20-13, and 24-21 in 2007, 2007, and 2002 respectively, while New York’s only win in this series was a 10-7 decision here at Cleveland Browns Stadium in 2004.

Sunday, November 14th, 1:00 PM ET: Detroit Lions @ Buffalo Bills
NFL Trends of Note
The Lions have the best record in the NFL this year at 7-1 ATS
Buffalo is 5-15-1 ATS in its L/21 played at Ralph Wilson Stadium
The Bills are 27-11-1 ATS in their L/39 against teams with a losing record

Series History
Dating back into the 1990s, there are only five regular season meetings between the Bills and Lions. The home team has won all four clashes since 1994, but all five of the games have been separated by 14 points or less. The Bills are only 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS in this series since 1991, but Detroit hasn’t won a game here at Ralph Wilson Stadium since that ’91 campaign.

Sunday, November 14th, 4:05 PM ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos
NFL Trends of Note
The Chiefs are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 played on grass
Kansas City is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 road games
The Broncos have the worst ATS record in the AFC at 2-6 ATS

Series History
Think there’s a little bit of history here? There’s a heavy serving of payback that the Broncos would love to get on Sunday, as last season here at Mile High, KC knocked off Denver 44-24 to keep it out of the playoffs. The road team dropped 44 points in both games last season. The Chiefs are 6-3 ATS in the L/9 meetings, but Denver holds a 5-4 SU edge in that time span.

Sunday, November 14th, 4:15 PM ET: Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
NFL Trends of Note
The Cowboys are 13-5 ATS in their L/18 played in the month of November
The Giants are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 played on field turf
New York is winless ATS in its L/5 home games against teams with a losing road record

Series History
This rivalry took a whole new turn just a few weeks ago when the G-Men knocked out QB Tony Romo for what probably will amount to be the rest of the season. New York won that day 41-35, improving it to 5-1 SU and ATS in this saga since the 2008 playoffs that sparked the magical run to the Super Bowl title for QB Eli Manning and the Giants. The ‘over’ is 7-2-1 ATS in the L/10 in this series.

Sunday, November 14th, 4:15 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Seahawks are 1-8 ATS in their L/9 played on grass
Arizona is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 when favored
The Seahawks are 17-35-1 ATS in their L/53 road games

Series History
This hasn’t been a particularly pretty series of late for the Seahawks, though they did claim a 22-10 win over the Redbirds back on October 24th at Qwest Field. They haven’t won here in the desert since 2005 and were just 1-6 ATS in the L/7 meetings before this year. Though nine of the L/13 have gone past the ‘total’ in this series, these teams have never both ranked this poorly offensively. Seattle and Arizona rank No. 30 and No. 31 overall in total offense in the NFL.

Sunday, November 14th, 4:15 PM ET: St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Rams have the second best ATS record in football at 6-2 ATS
San Fran is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 home games
St. Louis is just 8-20-2 ATS in the L/30 meetings in this series

Series History
Needless to say, the Rams have to buck the NFL odds if they want to stay in first place in the NFC West. This is the first time in which St. Louis has been favored in a game in this series since ’07. The Niners are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS over the L/2 seasons, including having whacked the Rams by margins of 28-6 and 35-0 last year.

Sunday, November 14th, 8:20 PM ET: New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Trends of Note
Pittsburgh is 2-5-1 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a winning record
The Steelers are 5-2-1 ATS in their L/8 played on natural grass
New England is 7-2 ATS in the L/9 in this series

Series History
New England has just found out what makes Pittsburgh tick and has exploited it for years. Really, ever since QB Tom Brady has come into control of this offense, the Pats have been dominant in this series, even while playing in one of the hardest venues in the NFL to be as a visitor, Heinz Field. A three game winning streak both SU and ATS stopped two years ago when the Steelers won 33-10, but that was with QB Matt Cassel under center for New England.

Monday, November 15th, 8:30 PM ET: Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins
NFL Trends of Note
The Eagles are 3-8 ATS in their L/11 overall
Washington is 7-1-4 ATS in its L/12 played on grass
The ‘Skins are just 5-12-1 ATS in their L/18 home games

Series History
This series has been all about home teams and underdogs of late, as they are both 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 meetings, including this year when the Skins knocked off the Eagles 17-12 in the City of Brotherly Love. Dating back to the end of the ’06 season, Washington owns a 5-2-1 ATS edge in this rivalry and will be looking to improve upon that with QB Donovan McNabb looking to exact some revenge against his old team.

Week 9 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 9 NFL matchups.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 ET: New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers
NFL Trends of Note
The Saints are 8-3-1 ATS in their L/12 games played on grass
New Orleans is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 played in Week 9
The Panthers are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a winning record

Series History
It was only a month ago that the Panthers scared the wits out of the Saints in one of the first career appearances for QB Jimmy Clausen. That marked the fifth straight cover in this series for Carolina, and the seventh in the L/8 meetings dating back to the end of the 2006 campaign. There is good news for the men from the Bayou, though. The road team is 17-4 ATS over the L/11 years of meetings of these AFC South rivals.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: San Diego Chargers @ Houston Texans
NFL Trends of Note
The Chargers are just 2-6 ATS over the L/8 seasons in Week 9
San Diego is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
The Texans have failed to cover three straight NFL betting lines

Series History
There isn’t much to talk about here, as these teams have only met three times in the brief history of the Houston franchise. The Texans have never won a game in this series and have never been favored either. This week is no exception. The Chargers won 35-10 in the last clash at Qualcomm Stadium and were 27-20 victors in their lone visit to Reliant Stadium in 2004.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: Chicago Bears @ Buffalo Bills
NFL Trends of Note
The Bears are just 5-11 ATS in their L/16 games overall
Chicago is only 2-7 ATS in its L/9 following an SU defeat
The Bills are winless in their L/5 ATS as dogs of a field goal or less

Series History
The annual trek for the Bills to Toronto should be quite the interesting one this year, as this might be their best chance to win a game for the rest of the season. Chicago won the last meeting of these teams in the regular season by a hefty final of 40-7, though the Bills did win the previous two encounters dating back to 2000. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the L/5 in this series as well.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings
NFL Trends of Note
The Redbirds are a woeful 7-22 ATS in their L/29 on the road against teams with a losing home record
Minnesota is 7-1-1 ATS in its L/9 as home favorites
The Vikes are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 following an SU defeat

Series History
It wasn’t all that long ago that the Cards beat the Vikings 18-17 in 2003 to keep the men in purple out of the postseason. However, the key in this series has been the dominance of the home team. Arizona won 30-17 last year in the desert when these two teams met to help it win the NFC West. The Cardinals haven’t won a game in Minnesota since moving to Phoenix though, and that includes a dreadful 1-4 ATS mark since the 1999 playoffs.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: New England Patriots @ Cleveland Browns
NFL Trends of Note
The Pats have covered every game in this series dating back to 2001
The Browns are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 against AFC foes
Cleveland is 10-4 ATS in its L/14 overall

Series History
HC Bill Belichick has only gotten the privilege of coming back to his old stomping grounds once in his career, and there was certainly a stomping going on all right… New England won 42-15 in the most lopsided victory in the history of this series. These teams have only met six times since the reformation of the Browns, and Cleveland is just 1-5 SU and 1-4-1 ATS to show for its work.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens
NFL Trends of Note
Miami is 16-5 ATS in its L/21 road games
The Dolphins are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a winning record
Baltimore is 2-5-1 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a winning record

Series History
These two teams have met in some vastly differing spots in recent history. The Ravens won 27-9 two years ago in Miami in the playoffs and snared a 27-13 victory there earlier in the season. The last meeting in the big Crab Cake came back at the end of the ’05 season, when the Ravens scored a 30-23 victory. Even though these teams have met eight times since the Browns moved to Baltimore, that was the only meeting in which Miami was the underdog before Sunday. The 2007 meeting was a mighty interesting one, as the 22-16 win for the Dolphins was their only ‘W’ of the season in that dreadful 1-15 year.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons
NFL Trends of Note
The Bucs are 3-0 SU and ATS on the road this season
Atlanta is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 overall
The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the L/8 clashes of these rivals

Series History
Though that last stat is true, we have to make note of the fact that the Bucs had covered five straight in this series until the Falcons won 20-10 on the last day of the season last year in a game that was only played for pride. Atlanta has won three straight SU. The L/4 meetings have all produced ‘under’ games. The losing team hasn’t scored more than 17 in a game in this series since the end of the 2005 campaign, while no team has scored more than 20 since the first clash in ’08.

Sunday, November 7th, 1:00 PM ET: New York Jets @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
The Jets are 8-1 ATS in their L/9 road games
New York is 6-1-1 ATS in its L/8 seasons in Week 9
The Lions have the best ATS mark in the league at 6-1 ATS

Series History
You have to go back to 2006 to find the last time these teams faced off, and the Jets knocked off Detroit that day 31-24. New York has covered two straight in this series, including the most recent meeting in Motown, a 31-14 triumph for the visitors. Detroit’s last win came in 2000 in the Meadowlands, and its last win at home was way back in 1997. The last cover at home was in 1991, a 34-20 win by the Barry Sanders led Lions.

Sunday, November 7th, 4:05 PM ET: New York Giants @ Seattle Seahawks
NFL Trends of Note
The Giants are 12-4 ATS in their L/16 as road favorites
New York is 21-9 ATS in its L/30 following an SU win
The Seahawks are 2-7 ATS in their L/9 against teams with a winning record

Series History
The L/2 clashes of these teams have resulted in some very high scoring affairs. New York won 44-6 in the most recent tussle in the Meadowlands, while the Seahawks stomped the G-Men 42-30 at Qwest Field in ’06. The hosts have won all ten meetings dating back to 1986 and have a 6-3-1 ATS record to show for it. Five of the L/7 meetings have eclipsed the ‘total’ as well.

Sunday, November 7th, 4:15 PM ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
The Chiefs are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 played on grass
KC is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 against conference foes
The Raiders are just 17-36 ATS in their L/53 home games

Series History
We’ll bet that there aren’t many stats for the Raiders when they are coming off of scoring nearly 100 points in their L/2 games, though! The road teams has won seven straight in this series dating back to the end of the ’06 season, and it should come as no surprise that they are a perfect 7-0 ATS in those duels as well. Four straight and nine out of ten have stayed ‘under’ the number, and no team scored more than 23 in a game in this series since the end of the ’05 season.

Sunday, November 7th, 4:15 PM ET: Indianapolis Colts @ Philadelphia Eagles
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 8-1-2 ATS in their L/11 against teams with a winning record
Philly is just 3-7 ATS in its L/10 overall
The Colts have covered all four games in this series since 1996

Series History
Since 1990, these teams have only met a grand total of six times in the regular season. Indy has won five of the six both SU and ATS, and they have dropped some awfully lopsided finals on the board as well. Since ’96, the Colts have outscored the Eagles on aggregate 161-61, an average margin of victory of 25.0 points per game! Needless to say, all four games soared ‘over’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, November 7th, 8:20 PM ET: Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers
NFL Trends of Note
The Cowboys have the worst ATS record in the league at 1-6 ATS
Green Bay is 6-1-1 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a losing record
The Packers are 5-2-1 ATS in their L/8 at Lambeau Field

Series History
The home team is 9-1 ATS in the L/10 clashes of these NFC powerhouses, and the favorite is 8-2 ATS in that stretch as well. The exception to the “favorite” rule came last year at home, where the Pack stalled out Dallas 17-7 here in a cold day at Lambeau Field. The Cowboys do have a ‘W’ on the Frozen Tundra, but not this late in the season in years. In ’08, Dallas scored a 27-16 victory.

Monday, November 8th, 8:30 PM ET: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Steelers are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 against teams with losing records
Pittsburgh is 2-5-1 ATS in its L/8 against division rivals
The road team is 12-4-1 ATS in the L/17 meetings of these AFC North foes

Series History
In this do or die game for the Bengals, there is at least a little bit to grasp onto. Cincinnati did win both games in this series last year, taking an 18-12 decision at Heinz Field and a 23-20 final here at Paul Brown Stadium. The Steelers had won four straight in this series SU since the ’06 postseason both SU and ATS, and all but one of those four had come by double digit margins of victory.

Week 8 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 8 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET: Green Bay Packers @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Packers have covered five straight following their bye week
Green Bay is 15-5-1 ATS in its L/21 as an underdog
New York is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 years following its bye week

Series History
The Jets have absolutely reamed the Packers in their L/2 meetings with one another, winning 38-10 at Lambeau Field in 2006 and 42-17 in the Meadowlands in 2002. Since 1985, these teams have met six times, with the Pack getting beaten outright in five of the six and posting just a 1-4-1 ATS record. Needless to say, New York hopes this continues on Sunday to try to improve the NFL’s best ATS mark right now at 5-1 ATS.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are just 17-35 ATS in their L/52 games after SU losses of more than two TDs
Denver is 7-20-1 ATS in its L/28 against teams with losing records
San Fran is just 7-19-1 ATS in its L/27 played in October

Series History
This is going to be the first time that either the Broncos or 49ers have paid a visit to Jolly Ol’ England, and it should be a good one. The Niners pulled off a tremendous upset in 2006 at Mile High Stadium, winning 26-23 in overtime as ten point pups. The previous meeting also went to the road team and the underdog in 2002, a 24-14 win for Denver at Candlestick Park.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
Washington is 6-18-3 ATS in its L/27 against teams with a losing record
Detroit is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 home games
The home team is 7-2 ATS in the L/9 meetings

Series History
Last year, this was the game which ended the dastardly losing streak for the Lions that extended 19 games, including the winless campaign in 2008. The Lions had failed to cover the previous three though, notching their most recent win from that point in 2000 by the count of 15-10. This is also a series that is notorious for low scoring affairs, as the ‘under’ has gone 6-0-2 over the L/8 meetings dating back to 1997.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Dolphins remain 3-0 SU and ATS this year on the road but 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS at home
The Fins are 9-1-1 ATS in their L/11 games played in Week 8
Cincy is 3-11 ATS in its L/14 overall

Series History
These teams actually don’t play that often, which is very surprising for teams sharing a conference. However, the Dolphins really dominated this series from 1987 through 2000, going 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in that stretch. Cincinnati has since struck back though, winning 16-13 in 2004 and 38-25 in 2007. That cover in South Beach in ’07 marked just the second cover in this series for the Bengals since before Dan Marino was quarterbacking the team.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Carolina Panthers @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
Carolina is 10-3 ATS in its L/13 against the NFC
The Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 on the road
The Rams have failed to cover a spread in this series since 2001

Series History
These two teams really don’t like each other, and it was really proven in the infamous double overtime game in the 2004 playoffs when WR Steve Smith ended the Rams’ season with a longest touchdown grab. That started a four game winning streak SU for the Panthers in this series of these former NFC West rivals. The “Greatest Show on Turf” does have a 48-14 win in 2001 to show for its work, but that was the last time that the Rams covered a spread in this series.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Jags are just 2-8 ATS in the L/10 seasons in Week 8
Jacksonville is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a losing record
Dallas has covered two of the four all-time meetings with the Jags

Series History
There isn’t much of a history here to look at, but these teams have put on four games that have all looked very, very similar. The home team is 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS, and both teams have a pair of victories. All four games featured between 40 and 48 points, with the winning team scoring between 21 and 26 and the losing team scoring between 17 and 22.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL Trends of Note
The Bills are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 road games
Buffalo is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 against teams with a winning record
KC is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 overall

Series History
Ever since the 1994 AFC Championship Game that sent the Bills to the Super Bowl, Buffalo has really dominated this series. You have to go back to 2003 to find the last time that the Chiefs won a game in this series (and that was by the ever so popular score of 38-5), and you won’t find a win at Ralph Wilson Stadium since before the Bills became good. Buffalo has played here at Arrowhead in each of the L/2 seasons, and has victories in both games. Don’t expect it to score anywhere near the 54 that it put on the board in 2008, though.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ San Diego Chargers
NFL Trends of Note
The Titans are 9-2 ATS in the L/11 seasons in Week 8
San Diego is 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played in October
The Chargers have covered five straight in this series

Series History
The Bolts don’t have a heck of a lot going for them right now, but perhaps the fact that they have never lost to this franchise SU or ATS since it was known as the Houston Oilers might cheer them up. On Christmas Day last year, the Bolts pasted Tennessee 42-17 at LP Field. The last time the Oilers franchise won here was in 1990 at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. The Titans/Oilers haven’t scored more than 17 points in a game in this series since the 1980s!

Sunday, October 31st, 4:15 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
Seattle is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 played on grass
The Seahawks are 2-10 ATS in their L/12 road games
Oakland is 16-36 ATS in its L/52 played at the Black Hole

Series History
The last time a team won two consecutive games in this series, the Seahawks were playing in the AFC West. Seattle has 16-0 and 34-27 wins at home against the Raiders since 2001, but 31-17 and 38-14 losses on the road in that stretch as well. The two teams are virtually split down the middle at 10-10 ATS since 1993, with Oakland holding a very slender 11-9 SU edge. The last time the Seahawks won at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum? 1997, 22-21.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Vikes are 10-3 ATS in their L/13 following an SU defeat
The Pats are 21-6 ATS in their L/27 after picking up less than 250 total yards of offense in their previous game
New England is 24-7-2 ATS in its L/33 played in October

Series History
There are a lot of question marks here revolving around Brett Favre and whether he’ll play against the Pats, but our guess is that he’ll trudge out there, just to keep the streak alive. The streak that Minnesota is trying to get going again is its cover streak against the Patriots. The Vikings lost 31-7 at the Metrodome in 2006 in the most recent meeting, but before that, they had gone 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS dating back to 1994.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Cards are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played in Week 8
Arizona is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 played in October
The Bucs are 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS in this series since 1989

Series History
We hope that you’re not looking for a pretty game when these two teams meet on Sunday. In fact, there hasn’t been a game hit the 40s between these teams since 1988, and that was the first time that the Cardinals played Tampa Bay with their home residing in the desert. Since the Cards moved from St. Louis, Tampa Bay has only played here four times, going 2-2 SU and ATS. The impressive part about that? The Bucs have never scored more than 14 points in a game here!

Sunday, October 31st, 8:20 PM ET: Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints
NFL Trends of Note
Pittsburgh is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Saints are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played on field turf
New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record

Series History
This meeting between the last two Super Bowl champs doesn’t have a heck of a lot of history. In fact, these two have only cracked skulls seven times in the last 30 years! Pittsburgh does own a 4-3 SU edge and is 4-2-1 ATS in those seven games, though its most recent win in the Bayou came back in 1990. The last meeting of these teams was a far more entertaining game, a 38-31 win for the visiting Steelers, who just narrowly covered the six point NFL betting line.

Monday, November 1st, 8:30 PM ET: Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Texans are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 seasons in Week 8
Indianapolis is 7-1-2 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
The Colts are 9-4-1 ATS in their L/13 versus AFC foes

Series History
This is the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans, and it’s not a stretch to say that. They have never won a game here in Indianapolis, and this is the first chance that they really have to post a season sweep of the big kahuna of their division. Houston won 34-24 earlier this year at home against the Colts, earning just their third all time win in this series, but they have covered three of the L/4 meetings and could be set to really bust out as a team on the rise capable of making the playoffs.

Week 7 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 7 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 ET: San Francisco 49ers @ Carolina Panthers
NFL Trends of Note
San Fran is 7-1-3 ATS in its L/11 following an ATS defeat
The Niners are 7-18-1 ATS in their L/26 played in October
Carolina is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 against NFC opponents

Series History
These two teams used to duke it out twice a year before 2002’s realignment that brought the Houston Texans into the league. However, this is always a series that has belonged to the Panthers. San Fran has failed to cover three straight, nine out of ten, and 13 out of 16 in this series. Carolina owns the L/2 games outright in this series, winning 31-14 at home and 37-27 at AT&T Park. If you’re a fan of high scoring games, this one is for you as well. Eight of the L/10 dating back to 1998 have gone ‘over’ the ‘total’, with the average score since then reaching a whopping 53.7 points per game.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens
NFL Trends of Note
The Bills are 5-13 ATS in their L/18 against teams with winning records
Buffalo is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 road games
The Ravens are 11-3 ATS in their L/14 against teams with a losing record

Series History
Since moving from Cleveland, the Ravens have only met Buffalo five times in the regular season. In those five meetings, Buffalo owns a 3-2 SU and ATS edge. The most recent meeting came in 2007, a 19-14 win for the host Bills. The L/4 have all stayed ‘under’ the number, and strangely enough, all four ‘totals’ were posted at the very low 36 or less. No team has scored more than 22 points in this series since 1990.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: St. Louis Rams @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Trends of Note
The Rams are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 as underdogs
St. Louis is 18-40-1 ATS in its L/59 road games against teams with winning home records
The Bucs have covered five straight following a double digit home loss

Series History
Remember the days when the vaunted Bucs defense was taking on the “Greatest Show on Turf?” What the heck happened to those days? Since that point, these two squads have only really met as iffy teams, with the hosts claiming three straight at home both SU and ATS. Tampa Bay won 24-3 in ’07 at Raymond James Stadium, which was the last meeting of these squads. The home team has won three straight SU and is 2-0-1 ATS in that stretch. The Bucs are 6-0-1 ATS since 1994.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Miami Dolphins
NFL Trends of Note
Pittsburgh is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 games played in Week 7
The Fins are 15-41-1 ATS in their L/57 home games
Miami is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 games played in the month of October

Series History
Last season, the Steelers ended any hopes of the Dolphins making the playoffs by beating them 30-24 on the final day of the regular season. Little did either team know that the game wouldn’t matter at all. These two have played some ugly games over the years, including a 3-0 game decided with a field goal at the gun at Heinz Field on Monday Night Football in 2007. Four of the L/6 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’. The Steelers have won four straight in this series and are 3-1 ATS in those four games.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Washington Redskins @ Chicago Bears
NFL Trends of Note
The Redskins are 6-1-4 ATS in their L/11 games played on grass
Chicago is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 home games
The Bears are 3-8 ATS in their L/11 on this surface

Series History
It’s been quite awhile since the Redskins were the dominant team of the 1990s when they rolled off five straight in this series SU and went 4-1 ATS in those five games. The Bears still only have two wins in this series since they were doing the Super Bowl Shuffle, and they only have three covers in the L/10 tries as well. Washington nailed down a 24-16 win in 2007 at home, but its last visit to the Windy City came way back in 2004, a 13-10 win. In fact, Chicago hasn’t covered a game in this series since the 1980s while playing at (either) Soldier Field.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Cincinnati Bengals @ Atlanta Falcons
NFL Trends of Note
The Bengals are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 overall
Cincinnati is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 games played in Week 7
The Falcons are 7-3 in their L/10 duels played at the Georgia Dome

Series History
You have to go all the way back to 1996 to find the last time that the Bengals won a game in this series, but there haven’t been all that many encounters since that point. The Falcons won in 2006, 2002, and 1999 both SU and ATS. Even if you want to include the preseason, this has been a lopsided series. Atlanta has gone 8-0 SU and ATS if you want to include exhibitions dating back to 1996. You need to go back into the early 1990s to find the last win for the Bengals here in the Peach State.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Philadelphia Eagles @ Tennessee Titans
NFL Trends of Note
The Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played in the month of October
Tennessee is 2-10 ATS in its L/12 against teams with a winning record
The Titans are 7-3 ATS over the L/10 years in games played in Week 7

Series History
The Titans have taken three straight in this series SU and back to back ATS. There have only meet three meetings since the move to Tennessee from Houston, and needless to say, they haven’t been happy ones for the men from the City of Brotherly Love. Philly has been held to 13 points in two of the three meetings, while allowing the Titans to score 24.3 points per game.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL Trends of Note
The Jags are just 8-26 ATS in their L/34 games played on natural grass
Jacksonville is only 5-13 ATS in its L/18 overall
KC is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 played in Week 7

Series History
It is surprising that these two teams have played each other so often even though the Jaguars haven’t been in existence all that long, relatively speaking. The Jags have captured back to back games outright, including a 24-21 win last year at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. However, KC covered the seven point NFL lines, marking just its second cover in five tries since 2001. The ‘totals’ have been evenly split this decade with three ‘overs’ and three ‘unders’.

Sunday, October 24th, 1:00 PM ET: Cleveland Browns @ New Orleans Saints
NFL Trends of Note
Cleveland is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 games played in October
The Browns are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 overall
New Orleans is just 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played on field turf

Series History
Remember when QB Tim Couch successfully hit that Hail Mary here in the Superdome in 1999 for the first ever victory for the new Cleveland Browns? Since that point, these teams have only met two other times, with Cleveland winning 24-15 here at the ‘Dome, and the Saints capturing a 19-14 ‘W’ in 2006 up north. It’s interesting that this is the only team in football that has never lost a game in the Superdome. The underdog is 3-0 ATS, while two of the three meetings have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’ after the first only got there due to the last second shenanigans.

Sunday, October 24th, 4:05 PM ET: Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
NFL Trends of Note
The Cards are 9-3 ATS in their L/12 against teams with a winning record
Seattle is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a winning record
The Seahawks are just 2-7 ATS over the L/9 years in Week 7

Series History
The less important NFL trend to note in this series is that the home team has gone 6-2 ATS over the L/4 seasons. The more important one is that Arizona has covered four straight and six out of seven. The Redbirds have been absolutely dominating, winning all six of those games that they covered in this stretch. They have three straight in this series by double digits. You have to go back to the first meeting in 2006 to find the last time that Arizona was held under 20 points in a game in this series.

Sunday, October 24th, 4:05 PM ET: New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers
NFL Trends of Note
The Chargers are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 against teams with winning records
San Diego is just 2-6 ATS in its L/8 played in October
New England has failed to cover a game in this series since 2007

Series History
Yes, the Bolts have taken the last two clashes of these AFC titans from an ATS standpoint, winning 30-10 outright in 2008 and covering the 14 point spread in a 21-12 defeat . However, the Pats have really won the war with these guys when push has come to shove. New England ended San Diego’s season with playoff wins in both 2008 and 2007. Dating back to 1994, the Patriots are 6-3 SU and 5-4 ATS against the Chargers.

Sunday, October 24th, 4:15 PM ET: Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
NFL Trends of Note
The Raiders are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 following an SU defeat
Denver is 7-3-1 ATS over the L/11 years in Week 7
The Broncos are just 9-23-1 ATS in their L/33 home games

Series History
The Raiders have covered six of the L/8 in this series and have found ways to win games that they have no business winning here at Mile High. Oakland captured a debilitating 20-19 victory here last season that probably effectively kept Denver out of the playoffs, and it also won 31-10 here in 2008. Ironically, the road team is 4-0 SU and ATS over the L/2 seasons, with the home team not even reaching 20 points scored in the proceedings.

Sunday, October 24th, 8:20 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
NFL Trends of Note
The Vikes are 5-1-1 ATS in their L/7 games played in division
Minnesota is just 3-12-2 ATS in its L/17 games as underdogs of a field goal or less
The Packers are 1-6 ATS in their L/7 as favorites of a field goal or less

Series History
QB Brett Favre is back in the saddle in Green Bay, but it’s not to be captaining the ship of the Packers. He won here last year by throwing four TD passes en route to a series sweep both SU and ATS> That switches a recent trend, as the Packers were 4-0 ATS and 3-1 SU in 2007 and 2008 and actually won five games in a row in this series at one point in the mid 2000s. Four straight have gone past the ‘total’ and both teams have scored at least 23 points in three straight clashes.

Monday, October 25th, 8:30 PM ET: New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Giants are 12-3-1 ATS in their L/16 road games as pups of a field goal or less
New York is 20-7-1 ATS in its L/28 games played in the month of October
Dallas is just 2-5 ATS in its L/7 games following an SU defeat

Series History
New York, New York, it’s a hell of a town! The Giants have won two straight and four out of five in this series both SU and ATS in spite of the fact that it has been a dog in four of those five games. The G-Men have only been held under 20 points in this series since December 2005 and don’t plan on changing that NFL trend this weekend. Dallas on the other hand, has been awfully inconsistent, as it has both been held in the 10-17 point range and scored in the 40s over the L/4 years.

Week 6 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 6 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Houston Texans
NFL Trends of Note
Kansas City is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 road games
The Texans are 6-2-2 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a winning record
Houston is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 played on grass

Series History
There have only been four meetings in this series, and three of the four have belonged to the road team both SU and ATS. The last clash of these AFC squads came in 2007, and the Texans rammed KC 20-3 as three point favorites. The only time a dog covered a game in this rivalry was in 2004, a 24-21 upset for the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium. The ‘totals’ have been level at two ‘overs’ and two ‘unders’ apiece.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Trends of Note
The Saints are 3-13 ATS in their L/16 against the NFC
New Orleans is 7-3-1 ATS in its L/11 played on grass
Tampa Bay is 6-1-1 ATS over the L/8 seasons in Week 6

Series History
The Saints had covered three straight in this divisional rivalry before last year’s 20-17 overtime victory for the Bucs at the Superdome which helped ruin the celebration of clinching the NFC for the hosts. The L/3 have all stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, though at least 37 points have gone on the scoreboard in the nine meetings since the end of the 2005 campaign. Tampa Bay went 5-1 ATS from ’05 through ’07.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Green Bay Packers
NFL Trends of Note
The Fins have covered four straight games on the road
Miami is a whopping 17-4 ATS in its L/21 road games against teams with a winning home record
The Packers 9-4-1 ATS in their L/14 overall

Series History
Every four years, these teams meet to do battle since divisional realignment. The Packers have covered back to back and have won two straight SU. The Dolphins haven’t won a game at Lambeau Field since 1994. The last meeting of these teams resulted in a 34-24 win for Green Bay in South Beach. There has only been one ‘under’ game since 1997 in this series, that coming in the last visit to Lambeau in November of 2002, a 24-10 Packers victory.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: San Diego Chargers @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
The Chargers have covered six straight games following an ATS defeat
San Diego has gone 5-1 ATS over the L/6 years in Week 6
The Rams are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 as pups of more than a field goal but less than double digits

Series History
The home team has won every game in this series in this decade, but this is probably a bit unfair due to the fact that the Rams were really good at the start of the decade and really terrible recently. Expect to see the fireworks flying in this one, as the home team has scored a whopping average of 41.0 points per game in the L/3. All three went past the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Ravens are 19-7-1 ATS in their L/27 on the road as underdogs
New England is 24-11-1 ATS in its L/36 following an SU victory of at least 14 points
The Pats are 23-7-1 ATS in their L/31 games played in the month of October

Series History
These two teams have had a heck of a history, especially in the last four years or so. Last season in the playoffs, the Ravens bounced New England 33-14 at Gillette Stadium. New England won the last two battles though, taking a 27-21 decision at home and a 27-24 victory in Baltimore. That ’07 meeting was particularly notable because it was the closest that the Patriots came to losing in that undefeated regular season, as the Ravens ‘D’ found a way to shut down the New England offense that was amongst one of the best in the league’s history. Baltimore is 3-1 ATS in its L/4, but the Pats had covered the previous three spreads.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Detroit Lions @ New York Giants
NFL Trends of Note
The Lions are 7-19 ATS in their L/26 played on field turf
The G-Men are 20-6-1 ATS in their L/27 played in the month of October
New York is winless ATS in its L/4 home games against teams with losing road records

Series History
These two teams haven’t met since 2007 when the Giants took out the Lions 16-10 in the Motor City. The road team has won every meeting in this series dating back to 1990, and the Lions haven’t won a game at home against New York since well back into the 1980s. As a result, the road team is 6-0 ATS since 1994 in this series, while the underdog won five of those games outright.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
NFL Trends of Note
The Seahawks are 4-9 ATS in their L/13 against NFC teams
Chicago is 2-12 ATS over the L/14 seasons in Week 6
The Bears are 5-2 ATS in the L/7 in this series dating back to 1990

Series History
In this decade, these two teams have each won a pair of games. The most notable win came in the ’06-’07 playoffs, when the Bears captured a 27-24 overtime victory in the Windy City. Seattle was a 9.5 point underdog that day, marking what was the second time in a row that the Hawks beat the number. Chicago captured the last duel at Qwest Field 25-19 as short favorites. The L/4 have all gone beyond the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Trends of Note
The Browns are 8-1 ATS in their L/9 against the AFC
Cleveland is 9-2 ATS in its L/11 played in the month of October
The Steelers are 7-2 ATS over the L/9 years in Week 6

Series History
These two teams absolutely despise each other. Cleveland stuck in front of both numbers last season, including a 13-6 upset at home as 9.5 point underdogs in December in a game that helped keep the black and gold out of the playoffs. Dating back to the last meeting in 2007, the Browns are 4-1 ATS against their arch rivals. The win last year marked the first victory in five seasons for Cleveland. The ‘over’ might be 6-1-1 ATS in the L/8 clashes in the Steel City, but the ‘under’ has come in three of the L/4 times these AFC North foes have met.

Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 PM ET: Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles
NFL Trends of Note
The Falcons are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 overall
Philly is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Eagles are 7-3-1 ATS over the L/11 seasons in Week 6 encounters

Series History
The Eagles have three wins in a row and seven out of eight in this series dating back to 1998. They have gone 7-2 ATS in their L/9 in this series. The favorite is 6-2 ATS over the L/8. In spite of the fact that the Eagles have averaged 24.1 points per game in this series since 2003, Atlanta’s woeful 11.4 points per game average has resulted in a 6-0-1 record for ‘under’ bettors in that stretch. This would be QB Michael Vick’s first meeting against his old team if he is able to play on Sunday.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:05 PM ET: Oakland Raiders @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Raiders are 8-17 ATS in their L/25 road games against teams with a losing home record
Oakland is 5-16 ATS in its L/21 after an ATS victory
The Niners are 7-1-3 ATS in their L/11 after an ATS defeat

Series History
These rivals meet every single year in the preseason, but they have only met twice in the regular season when the games are for keeps in this decade. In 2002, San Fran captured a 23-20 decision, while in 2006, the Niners won 34-20 at home. San Francisco covered both spreads, while the ‘total’ has been split. The preseason meeting this year resulted in a 28-24 win for the 49ers.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:05 PM ET: New York Jets @ Denver Broncos
NFL Trends of Note
The Jets are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 road games
New York is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 games against the AFC
Denver has gone 8-2 ATS over the L/10 in this series

Series History
The Jets have never loved playing against Denver, particularly at Mile High. Yes, they have a win there in 1999, but that was the only game that they won in this series there in the last two decades. The Broncos have a postseason win there as well in this stretch, a 23-10 win in the AFC Championship Game in 1999. New York hasn’t scored more than 25 points in a game in this series since the 1980s. Five of the L/7 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 4:15 PM ET: Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings
NFL Trends of Note
Dallas is 2-6-2 ATS over the L/10 years in Week 6
Dallas is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 against teams with a losing record
The Vikes are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 home games

Series History
The favorite has covered eight straight games in this series, which is a good sign for the hosts on Sunday. The most recent meeting came in the playoffs last year, a 34-3 romp for the Vikes at home. Dallas had won the previous two meetings both SU and ATS, but the Vikes owned the previous four, including a win in the 2000 playoffs. Six of the L/8 have gone past the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 17th, 8:20 PM ET: Indianapolis Colts @ Washington Redskins
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 7-1-1 ATS in their L/9 against teams with a winning record
Indy is 11-4-1 ATS in its L/16 road games
Washington is 6-1-3 ATS in its L/10 played on grass

Series History
These teams have only met seven times in the L/20 years. Washington dominated the NFL odds from 1994 to 2002, as it covered four straight against the Colts. The most recent meeting in 2006 resulted in a 36-22 win for QB Peyton Manning’s crew at the old RCA Dome. This is the first meeting of these teams in Landover since 2002, where the Colts haven’t won in well over two decades.

Monday, October 18th, 8:30 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
NFL Trends of Note
Tennessee is 1-10 ATS in its L/11 against teams with a winning record
The Titans are just 2-6 ATS in their L/8 against the AFC South
Jacksonville is only 2-6 ATS in its L/8 appearances on Monday Night Football

Series History
The home team is 7-3 ATS since 2005 in this series. However, only six of those games have actually been won SU. Last year, the home team took both meetings both SU and ATS with some major romps. The Titans won 30-13 at LP Field, while the Jags won 37-17 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. The ‘under’ has cashed in three of the previous four meetings, but all five clashes in 2005 and 2006, including the postseason tussle, went ‘over’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 ET: Atlanta Falcons @ Cleveland Browns
NFL Trends of Note
Atlanta is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 overall
Cleveland is 9-1 ATS in its L/10 in October
The Browns are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 played on grass

Series History
These teams have only met twice in Cleveland’s brief history, and the Browns have dominated. Cleveland stole a 17-13 victory at the Georgia Dome in 2006 and won 24-16 in 2002. Even in the one preseason tussle that these teams played in 2003, Cleveland took a 20-9 win. All three games have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’, while the Browns have covered all three NFL lines.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 following an SU win
The Ravens are 42-18-1 ATS in their L/61 as home favorites
Baltimore is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 as a home favorite of between 3.5 and 10 points

Series History
The Broncos are just 1-6-1 ATS in the L/8 meetings in this series. Baltimore won 30-7 last year in this fixture. The home team has won five straight dating back to 2002 and eight out of nine since 1994. Four straight and six out of seven have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’. The road team has only scored a grand total of 26 points in the L/4 meetings of these powerhouses, but the home team has only eclipsed 13 points once in the L/3.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: New York Giants @ Houston Texans
NFL Trends of Note
The Giants are 1-7 ATS in their L/8 played on grass
New York is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
Houston has gone 5-1-1 ATS in its L/7

Series History
The Texans have only been around long enough to face the Giants twice in their lives, and this is just the second trip to Reliant Stadium ever. The home team has won both meetings, but the Texans have dominated the ATS proceedings. Houston is 2-0 ATS, with both clashes coming as underdogs. The Giants won 14-10 in the one duel in the Meadowlands, while Houston won 16-14 at home. Obviously, both meetings stayed well ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Chicago Bears @ Carolina Panthers
NFL Trends of Note
The Bears are 2-7 ATS in their L/9 on grass
Carolina is 8-1 ATS in its L/9 against teams with winning records
The Bears are 4-2 ATS in their L/6

Series History
There have only been five clashes of these teams in Panthers history, including one meeting in the postseason. Carolina won that day 29-21 in the Windy City, and that was the only time a road team ever won a game in this series. The underdog has only failed to cover one spread, with that coming in 2005 in favor of the Bears. That also happens to be the only time since 1995 that the men from the Windy City have won a game against the Panthers.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: St. Louis Rams @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
The Rams are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 against teams with losing record
The Lions are just 5-13 ATS in their L/18 games played at Ford Field.
St. Louis has covered back to back in this series

Series History
The only win for the Rams last year came against these Lions at this venue. St. Louis captured a 17-10 decision. The meeting prior to that was also in favor of the Rams, a 41-34 win at the Edward Jones Dome. That was actually the only meeting in St. Louis since 1993, as the other five since that point were played in the Motor City.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Green Bay Packers @ Washington Redskins
NFL Trends of Note
Green Bay is 9-3-1 ATS in its L/13 overall
The Packers are 8-3-1 ATS in their L/12 on grass
The Redskins are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 played in Week 5

Series History
Since the mid 1980s, this series has just belonged to the Pack. Green Bay had gone 4-0 SU from 2001 to 2007, and the previous meeting before that was back in 1988. The Packers have only made one trek to our nation’s capitol in that stretch as well. Green Bay is 5-0-1 ATS since 1986 in this series. The ‘under’ has gone 5-1 in those six clashes. The ‘Skins were dropped 17-14 at Lambeau Field in the last encounter in 2007.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Bucs have covered three straight in this series
Cincinnati is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 overall
The Bengals are 8-3 ATS in their L/11 against teams with a winning record

Series History
The Bucs captured a 14-13 decision in 2006 at Raymond James Stadium, but the last trip to Cincinnati was also a grand one. Tampa Bay won 35-7 in its glory days in 2002. Five of the L/6 between these rivals have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, with the one exception being that 2002 clash. The losing team in this series hasn’t scored more than 16 points in a game since 1989.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Kansas City Chiefs @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Colts are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a winning record
Indianapolis is 10-3 ATS in its L/13 played in October
Kansas City is just 2-7 ATS in its L/9 against the Colts

Series History
Kansas City’s only win in this series since the 1980s came in 2004 with a 45-35 victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Indy has held the Chiefs to just 18 total points in two meetings since that point in two games at the old RCA Dome. One of those games was a postseason clash in January 2007.

Sunday, October 10th, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Buffalo Bills
NFL Trends of Note
Jacksonville is 4-12 ATS in its L/16 overall
Buffalo is 3-7 ATS in its L/10 played in Week 5
The Bills are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 played on turf

Series History
The Jaguars certainly love playing in Ralph Wilson Stadium, as this will always be the home of their first postseason win in 1996. Since that point though, the Bills have really done a nice job. Buffalo nearly won last year in the Sunshine State, dropping 18-15, but the fact that it covered the spread marked its sixth cover in its L/8 since that playoff defeat at home in ’96. The L/2 have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’ with ease.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:05 PM ET: New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Saints are just 2-9 ATS in their L/11 against NFC opponents
New Orleans is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 overall
The Cards are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 played in October

Series History
The Saints destroyed Arizona last year in the postseason 45-14 at home, marking the second straight win in the Superdome for them against the Redbirds. The Cards scored a 2004 win here in the desert by the count of 34-10, marking its only cover in this series since 1996. You have to go back into the 1980s to find the previous time in which they covered a spread at home against the men in black and gold. Three straight have eclipsed the ‘total’.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:15 PM ET: San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
The Bolts are 18-8 ATS in their L/26 games played in October
Oakland is winless over the L/4 seasons both SU and ATS in Week 5
The Raiders are 15-36 ATS in their L/51 home games

Series History
These two divisional foes hate each other, and for good reason. The silver and black haven’t won a game since 2003, a stretch of 12 straight games. The Raiders did cover both numbers last year, losing 24-16 on the road and 24-20 at home. The Chargers had covered seven of the previous eight and are now 11-3 ATS in their L/14 clashes overall. The Bolts are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 trips to Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.

Sunday, October 10th, 4:15 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Titans are 18-8 ATS in their L/26 as underdogs
Dallas has covered five of its L/6 following a bye week
The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their L/7 played in October

Series History
The Titans haven’t found their way to Victory Lane against the Cowboys since 2000 on Christmas Day, and the last time that they won a game in Dallas was in 1997. The boys from the Lone Star State smacked Tennessee around 45-14 in the last encounter at Adelphia Coliseum. The L/3 have eclipsed the ‘total’, but that includes a pair of preseason tussles.

Sunday, October 10th, 8:20 PM ET: Philadelphia Eagles @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Eagles are 11-4 ATS in their L/15 as road underdogs
Philly is 0-5 ATS in its L/5 against the NFC
San Fran is 5-1-1 ATS in its L/7 after an SU defeat

Series History
It’s been Philly, Philly, and more Philly in this series of late, as the Eagles have captured four straight against the Niners both SU and ATS, including a 27-13 decision last December in the City of Brotherly Love. The Niners haven’t won a home game either SU or ATS against Philadelphia since 2001. Last year’s ‘under’ clash marked the first time a game in this series stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’ since 2001, a stretch of five straight ‘overs’.

Monday, October 11th, 8:30 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Jets are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 played in October
New York is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 overall
The Vikes are just 0-5 ATS in the regular season against the Jets since 1994

Series History
As you can see, this series has been all one way traffic for the men in green. The last encounter came in 2006, with the Jets topping the Vikes 26-13 at the Metrodome. Minnesota isn’t even winning games in this series SU when they’re favored, just like in 2006. Though two of the L/3 have stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’, the previous three had all gone ‘over’. The Vikes have never scored more than 21 points in a game against the Jets.
