Sports Betting Overview
Things have been tough for the Cleveland Browns this season. Injuries have plagued the team and not allowed for any offensive consistency. In week 10, the Browns showed the effects of offensive inconsistencies by losing to the St. Louis Rams 13-12 in a home game that Cleveland should have won. Team president Mike Holmgren is trying to put his own stamp on this Cleveland team, but things do not seem to be getting any better in Cleveland. The Browns are 3-6 overall and 2-4 in the conference. The AFC looks to be very competitive this season and it is unlikely that a team with less than a 10-6 record will qualify for a playoff spot. The frustrating thing for Browns fans is that the Cleveland Browns do not look like it is getting any closer to securing a playoff spot this year or any season in the foreseeable future. But a lot can happen in the off-season, which is what the Browns look to be playing for.

The Jacksonville Jaguars might as well start saying goodbye to head coach Jack Del Rio now and make things easier when he is fired at the end of the regular season.

Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers will try to pick up a win on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field.

A quick glance at each of these teams’ Monday night logs would suggest that neither is ready for some football.

The Packers are 3-8 SU and 4-7 ATS in their last 11 Monday night affairs while the Vikings are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four Monday tilts.

Thus, the tie-breaker could be one of three things: (1) the last 13 Monday night double-digit favorites are just 2-11 ATS, (2) Minny is 9-3 ATS as a double-digit dog versus a .666 or greater opponent off a SU win or, (3) the Pack’s 30th-ranked defense (400 YPG) is ‘leaking oil’, having allowed season-high yards in each of its last three games.

Take your pick, but any which way but ‘lose’ with the Pack.

The New England Patriots and the New York Jets will meet on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium.

The Flyboys are looking to avenge a 30-21 loss they suffered in Foxboro earlier this season and the question becomes can they take advantage of New England’s super-soft defense (416 YPG), which is last in the entire league?

We tentatively say no, for now, as Tom Brady is 26-11-1 ATS as a dog in his career, including a pissed-off 10-1 ATS off a SU loss.

Meanwhile, the ‘hoodie’ chips in at 9-3 ATS as a dog off rare back-to-back SU losses.

Granted, the Jets are 15-2 SU and 14-2-1 ATS as home favorites versus .600 or greater opposition but their 1-6 ATS mark as home favorites off a SU and ATS win versus a foe off three ATS losses negates that advantage.
