There are no more bye weeks for NFL teams so there's a lot of games to bet on in Week 10.
The NFL has a Thursday night game with the Chargers(-7) at home against the Raiders. The total is 48.
I expected the total to be high since both teams had high-scoring games last Sunday. What bettors must take into account is that the scores last week wouldn't have been so high if not for special teams touchdowns and turnovers.
The larguest spread and highest total this week comes in the Monday Night game as the Packers are 13.5 favorites against the Vikings with a total of 51.5.
The lowest total is 37.5 and that is the total for both the Rams vs Browns game and the Redskins vs Dolphins game.
There is no line yet for the Cardinals vs Eagles game due to the injury status of Cardinals' QB Kevin Kolb.
Six favorites this week are favored by 3 points and one team (49ers) is favored by 3.5 points.
Four road teams are favorite this week and they are the Jaguars -3 over the Colts, the Steelers -3 over the Bengals, the Texans -3 over the Bucs, and the Ravens -7 over the Seahawks.
The marquee games to watch this week are the Steelers vs Bengals, Giants vs 49ers, Raiders vs Chargers, Broncos vs Chiefs, Lions vs Bears, Saints vs Falcons, and Patriots vs Jets.
All of these games have playoff and division title implications.
As we get into the cold winter months, weather should be a factor in the next few weeks.
Bettors must remember that any team can win on any given Sunday and that a team that played well last week might not play well the following week. You can look no further than the Kansas City Chiefs for an example.
The Chiefs played reasonably well when they took down the Chargers on Monday Night Football in overtime but they had a huge letdown last Sunday and lost at home to the previously winless Dolphins by 28 points.
The Broncos lost by 35 to the Lions and came back to beat the Raiders on the road by 14.
Every week is different. Teams that have big wins one week will eventually have a letdown. A team that got clobbered one week can improve and upset a favorite the next week.
Teams that could have a letdown after big wins last week are the Ravens, Bears, Broncos, and Giants.

NFL Betting Lines and Tips for Week 9
There are 14 games this week in the NFL and only two games have double-digit favorites.
he three games that have totals of over 50 points are Giants vs Patriots (51.5 points), Packers vs Chargers (51 points), and Bucs vs Saints (over 50.5 points).
The Falcons, 49ers, and the Packers are the only three teams that are road favorites.
49ers vs Redskins has the lowest total at 37.5 points due to the fact that the 49ers like to run the ball a lot and have a great defense. The Redskins have all sorts of issues as well due to injuries and they were shut out last week.
The best chance for an upset might come in the Saints vs Bucs game since this is a divisional game and the Bucs had a bye week to prepare for the Saints. The Bucs won at home against the Saints a few weeks ago.
The Bucs also will get their starting running back LaGarrette Blount back for the game. He must be licking his chops since Steven Jackson of the Rams ran for 159 yards against the poor Saints' defense last Sunday.
There is no line in the Rams vs Cardinals game yet due to the questionable status of Cardinals' QB Kevin Kolb.
Oakland is favored by 8.5 over the Broncos at home. This will be Carson Palmer's debut as the starting QB for the Raiders. Is he stil rusty? He threw a few interceptions two weeks ago against the Chiefs and he was an interception machine last year with the Bengals as well.
I would not trust Palmer until he proves to me that he still is a NFL caliber QB. The guy just throws too many interceptions for my liking and he has no mobility and speed at all.
With that being said, I don't trust Tim Tebow and the Broncos either.
The Bills are favored by 1.5 over the Jets at home. This could be the toughest matchup for bettors this week. Both teams are hot and the Jets are coming off a bye week. The Bills have a great offense but the Jets might just have the right players on defense to contain them.
Are the Colts the worst team in the NFL right now? The Falcons are a 7 point favorite on the road and they should easily handle the Colts.
The Colts do play better at home though even though they are 0-8. Their best bet to win their first game of the season might come on November 13 when they play the Jags at home.
The Chiefs take on the winless Dolphins this week at home and are 4 point favorites. I see the Chiefs winning this game but the Chiefs might suffer a letdown due to their big victory vs the Chargers on Monday night.
Tom Brady and the Patriots take on Eli Manning and the Giants this week and this should be a very high-scoring game as both these teams love to pass the ball and are very good at it.
The Giants don't have a good run game now but Manning can easily carve up the Patriots' woeful secondary. If Brady gets time to throw, he will have a great game as well. The only corner he might try to avoid is Corey Webster.
The Ravens go on the road to take on the Steelers and are 3.5 point underdogs. The Ravens destroyed the Steelers at home 35-7 in week 1 and you can expect the Steelers to play better this time and try to seek revenge.
How can bettors trust the Ravens right now? They don't play well on the road besides their win against the Rams in St.Louis and QB Joe Flacco is wildly inconsistent.
The Eagles are 8 point favorites over the Bears in the Monday Night Football game. The Bears have a good offense that can be explosive when the the offensive line gives Jay Cutler enough time to pass. Matt Forte is one of the best playmakers in the game right now as well.
The advantage the Eagles have is that they are at home and their WRs should win the matchups against the Bears' secondary. The Bears' safeties are young and raw and Michael Vick can take full advantage of them
Andre Johnson is still injured and questionable against the Browns but the Texans (11 point favorites) should win easily at home. The Browns have a solid defense but they have zero playmakers on offense right now.
QB Colt McCoy hasn't been impressive at all and injuries to the WR and RB positions have hurt the Browns' chances to be productive on offense. This will be the second game in a row on the road for the Browns.
Is there any chance the Seahawks can upset the Cowboys in Texas? The Saints were upset by the Rams last week but the Rams were at home and they had a good ground game.
The Cowboys are mad after losing badly to the Eagles and all hell will break loose if they somehow lose to Seattle. Don't expect it to happen. The Seahawks offense is pathetic and they only average 77.7 yards per game on the ground.

NFL Week 8 Observations and Analysis
The biggest surprise on Sunday was the Saints losing to the Rams in St.Louis 31-21. It was a very bad loss for Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints.
The Saints' defense was exposed once again and they could not stop Steven Jackson at all. Jackson had 159 yards and two TDs on the day.
The offensive line was horrible for the Saints as they could not protect Brees at all. No Mark Ingram hurt New Orleans too as he was injured and the Saints' running backs only totaled 57 yards for the whole game.
The Saints will face a tough Bucs' team next week at home. I would not be surprised if the Bucs upset the Saints again. They played a few weeks ago in Tampa and the Bucs won 26-20.
The Eagles looked great after a bye week and destroyed the Cowboys 34-7. Eagles are now 3-4 and will face a talented Bears' team at home on Monday night.
I expected the Chiefs to beat the Chargers last night at home but they were lucky they won the game in overtime. The Chargers should have won the game in regulation but Philip Rivers fumbled a snap which was recovered by Kansas City. The Chargers were in field goal position and ready to win the game when the turnover happened.
The referees in this game were just horrendous. They called stupid ticky tack flags on the Chargers a few times during the game. I could not believe one of the officials called a flag on Antonio Gates for offensive pass interference when he caught a TD pass in the end zone in the second quarter. Even the ESPN announcers were disagreeing with the questionable flags.
The 49ers continue to win as they are now 6-1 and I don't see a way they can not clinch the NFC West title soon.The only thing that can stop them now is an injury to QB Alex Smith. The 49ers will be a tough team to play in the playoffs because they have a great defense and their offense can run the ball.
Rookie quarterbacks continue to impress as Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder, and Cam Newton all had good games for their respective teams. Blaine Gabbert of the Jaguars is the only starting rookie QB that has struggled mightily so far.
The Giants beat the Dolphins 20-17 in a very close game. The Dolphins' secondary is horrible and Eli Manning took full advantage by throwing for 349 yards and two TDs. Do the Dolphins or the Cardinals have a weaker secondary? Both are very bad.
Best games next week are Jets vs Bills, Giants vs Patriots, Packers vs Chargers, Ravens vs Steelers, and the Bears vs Eagles on Monday Night.

UCLA vs Arizona brawl and fan dresses as a ref
Here are two videos of the UCLA vs Arizona brawl last night on ESPN as well as the crazy streaker who ran onto the field dressed as a referee. The fans ate it up and enjoyed the antics of the streaker but people who have no business on the football field pose a danger to the athletes and themselves.

Here is a cute video of a dog playing basketball and making buckets. The dog plays and shoots better than some of the guys I see at the local gym. I think this animal could give some of the "ballers" at the gym a run for their money.
