ryan fitzpatrick bills qbTwo games are on tonight’s NFL wagering board featuring two of the AFC’s expected contenders yet playing as road underdogs at Sportsbook.com. The Indianapolis Colts are 3.5 point underdogs as they take on the Buffalo Bills in Toronto. In the other contest, the New England Patriots (+2.5) travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. 

Indianapolis @ Buffalo

Sportsbook.com Line: Buffalo -3.5 Total: 34

Peyton Manning showed his MVP form in the Colts’ opener against the 49ers, going 8-for-10 for 91 yards while leading his team to 10 points in two series. The offense struggled when Manning turned the reins over to backup Curtis Painter, who proceeded to throw 3 INT in a 37-17 loss to the 49ers. The Colts are now 4-19 in their last 23 preseason games. 

The Bills are coming off of a 42-17 thrashing at the hands of the Redskins in their preseason opener. Ryan Fitzpatrick was the top performer at QB for Buffalo, completing 9 of 14 passes for 61 yards and a TD without throwing a pick. Trent Edwards connected on half of his 12 pass attempts for a total of 58 yards and an INT.

Bills RBs Fred Jackson (hand) and Marshawn Lynch (ankle) are both out for this game and likely longer, which should lead to more carries for all-purpose rookie C.J. Spiller out of Clemson. Spiller carried the ball four times for 16 yards against the Redskins. 

Painter can’t play much worse than he did in the Colts’ opener and it would seem unlikely that the defending AFC Champs would remain winless after this one against a depleted sub-par team. 

Don’t ignore this betting system as you handicap the contest:

Play On - Underdogs or pick (INDIANAPOLIS) - off a home loss by 10 or more points, winless in the preseason. (21-4 over the last 10 seasons.) (84%, +16.6 units. Rating = 2*).

New England @ Atlanta

Sportsbook.com Line: Atlanta -2.5 Total: 37

The Patriots and Falcons are both coming off of solid wins in their preseason openers. For the second straight week, the Patriots are holding joint practice sessions with their upcoming opponent, having done the same thing last week with the Saints. Tom Brady was efficient (5-for-8, 67 yards in two series) in a 27-24 win over the Saints, but suffered a finger injury on his throwing hand. In typical Patriots fashion, the extent of the injury is unknown. Despite having participated in a majority of training sessions after undergoing major knee surgery in the offseason, Wes Welker did not play in the opener and probably will not suit up on Thursday either. 

Matt Ryan played just two series in the Falcons’ 20-10 win over the Chiefs, completing three of six pass attempts, including a pair of third-down conversions to Tony Gonzalez. Michael Turner had a solid performance, gaining 29 yards on just four carries with a long of 10. 

The Patriots stifled the Falcons offense in Week 3 of the 2009 regular season, posting a convincing 26-10 win in Foxboro. However, that game was played in less than ideal weather conditions with periods of heavy rain over the course of the afternoon. 

Keep an eye on the following trend as it affects this contest, since Atlanta’s preseason mindset has been different than most teams over the years…ATLANTA is 27-13 ATS (+12.7 Units) in games where the line is +3 to -3 since 1993. The average score was ATLANTA 19.5, OPPONENT 16.9 - (Rating = 1*). Typically the Falcons have shown a desire to establish a winning attitude in the preseason.

AFC vs NFC Pro Bowl Wagering Lines

210 pro bowl wageringFor the first time in NFL history the Pro Bowl wagering will be held before the Super Bowl and considering how things have gone so far it might be the last time. This is the first time in 30 years the NFL Pro Bowl has not been held in Honolulu, Hawaii and even though many of the best players in the league are not there, the crowd will be large and the controversy surrounding the game has attracted a lot of attention. The NFC is a 2-point wagering lines favorite with a total of 57 at SBG Global. Watch all the intense sports wagering lines action this Sunday at 7:30pm ET on ESPN.

Since the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are playing in next week’s Super Bowl, their players will not be in the game. In addition to those players, a large number of other players have backed out. In fact, there have been a record 33 changes to the Pro Bowl rosters already. The players are not happy, some of the NFL wagering coaches are not happy but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is optimistic and that might be all that matters. "We’ll see what works, and what doesn’t.” Goodell said, “We’ll talk to the players and other participants and try to figure out what the best approach will be." The next two years the game will be held in Hawaii but future plans for the Pro Bowl have not been announced.
 
The AFC and NFC teams are going to look nothing like true Pro Bowl rosters. Yes, there will still be players like Tennessee’s Chris Johnson and Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones Drew, but other players like Jacksonville’s David Garrard and Chicago’s Johnny Knox have no business being at the Pro Bowl Lines. If the game were being held in Hawaii then perhaps there would not have been as many defections. "Personally, I like it better over there," said Denver safety Brian Dawkins, "This is not truly a getaway. But it’s still special. I appreciate this too much to take it for granted. So if I could play, I was going to play. A lot of people would love to do what I do for a living. I will never take this for granted."
 
With all of the changes to the rosters and despite the game not being held in Hawaii, the game is sold out and will have the highest attendance since 1959.
 
The NFC has won three of the last four Super Bowls and has a very slight 20-19 all-time edge. The NFC is a slight favorite this year simply because their quarterback rotation and their depth looks better than the AFC’s. Aaron Rodgers, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo are the three NFC quarterbacks while Matt Schaub, David Garrard and Vince Young are the three AFC quarterbacks.

New York Jets vs San Diego Chargers Wagering Lines

philip rivers wageringAFC Divisional Playoff Wagering

The hottest team in the NFL wagering entering the playoffs is the San Diego Chargers. They have won 11 straight games and will look to make it 12 in a row as they host the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon at 4:40pm ET which can be seen live on CBS. The Chargers have a potent offense led by quarterback Philip Rivers but they will be facing a New York defense that was the best in the NFL wagering. San Diego is a 7-point sports wagering lines favorite with a total of 42 at SBG Global Sportsbook.

 
The Chargers have been in this situation before only to lose. They won 10 straight in 2006 but then lost to New England in their playoff opener. They did the same thing in 2007 as they won eight straight before losing to New England in the AFC title game. Last year they were hot entering the playoffs having won four straight and they did upset Indianapolis before losing to Pittsburgh.
 
San Diego faces a tough test on Sunday against a New York team that plays tough defense, avoids mistakes and runs the ball. That has been a great way to win games throughout history in the NFL wagering playoffs. "I think they’re the best defense we’re going to play," running back LaDainian Tomlinson said. "They do a lot of things well. But they’ve got the winning formula. They run the ball well and they play good defense. You look at teams throughout history that have done well, those are the teams that had that winning formula."
 
The Chargers rely upon the passing of Philip Rivers to win games. He threw for 4,254 yards and 28 TDs this season. He will be facing a New York secondary led by Darrelle Revis who is considered the best cornerback in the league. On the other side of the ball the Jets expect to run the ball with Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene. The Chargers have not been good against the run, allowing 117.8 yards per game this NFL wagering lines season.
 
The Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. The Jets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in January. The Jets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog. The Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings against the Chargers. The Chargers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 playoff games. The Chargers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Over is 6-1-1 in the Jets last 8 vs. the AFC. The Over is 5-2-2 in the Jets last 9 games as a road underdog. The Over is 4-0 in the Chargers last 4 home games. The Under is 5-2 in the Chargers last 7 playoff games. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.
