This guy is leading a nasty steelers defense that should give the Bucs fits on Sunday
The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Tampa Bay to battle the Bucs in a game that features two undefeated teams. That’s right – the Bucs are undefeated.  According to our NFL betting lines page, the Steelers opened as 2 ½ point favorites and it seems books aren’t quite sure what to do with this game. 5 Dimes, Bet Jamaica, and Sportbet are listing the Steelers at 1 point, while Bodog and Bookmaker have Pittsburgh up to 3 points. That’s one reason why Maddux Sports is such a valuable website – you have the opportunity to find a 2 point swing in what should be a defensive football game. Considering the public is backing the Steelers at nearly 90%, chances are some sharp money has come into the books listing Pittsburgh at 1 point, which is fine. With the way Pittsburgh has played, a 1 point spread is a value play for Pittsburgh.

New England Patriots Football
The Patriots are 14.5 point home favorites over the hapless Bills on Sunday
The New England Patriots (1-1) will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss at New York when they host the Buffalo Bills (0-2) on Sunday in their second straight game against an AFC East opponent.  The Patriots opened as 11 point favorites on the NFL betting odds and are now currently 14.5-point favorites this week and could not play two much different halves of football as they did last week in falling to the Jets, 28-14.  Then again, the Bills have yet to put together one good half in two games so far this season.

Eli Manning and the Giants will look to bounce back and are -3 point home favorites over the visiting Titans on Sunday
The Tennessee Titans (1-1) have never lost to the New York Giants (1-1) and will try to improve to 5-0 all-time against them when they visit new Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday.  The Titans and Giants who are -3 on the current NFL odds for this game both look to bounce back following disappointing losses last week in which they never really had much of a chance against their opponents.

The Saints are currently 5 point road favorites according to the NFL odds makers
The San Francisco 49ers (0-1) probably wish they had 11 days between games following a dismal performance in a 31-6 loss at Seattle last Sunday.  However, that benefit will just be one more advantage going in the favor of the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints (1-0) when they visit San Francisco on Monday Night Football.

Giants Vs Colts Betting Preview
Eli Manning and the New York Giants are 5.5 point underdogs against the Colts tonight
The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) knew it would be nearly impossible to duplicate last year’s 14-0 start, but they now face the unlikely scenario of starting the regular season 0-2 with a home loss to the New York Giants (1-0) on Sunday Night Football and are favored by 5 points on the NFL betting odds.  The Colts have taken a pedestrian approach to the preseason in recent years and looked like they were not ready to play their regular-season opener at Houston in falling to the Texans, 34-24.

The Sam Bradford makes his first road start against the Raiders and are only 3 point underdogs
The St. Louis Rams (0-1) hope the promising debut of rookie Sam Bradford will translate to a victory in his first road game when they visit the Oakland Raiders (0-1) on Sunday.  The Rams are 3-point underdogs on the pro football lines against the Raiders but liked what they saw for the most part from Bradford, who threw for 253 yards and his first career touchdown in a 17-13 home loss to Arizona last week.

Matt Moore (Concussion) has been upgraded to probable this week and should get the start against the Bucs today
The Carolina Panthers (0-1) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) on Sunday in their home opener and hope starting quarterback Matt Moore will be ready to go after suffering a concussion last week in a 31-18 loss to the Giants.  Moore is expected to start for the Panthers who are current -3 on the NFL point spread against a Buccaneers team that has lost 11 of the last 14 meetings with their NFC South rivals.

Dolphins Vs Vikings Preview
Favre and the rested Vikings are 5.5 point home favorites against the fish today
The Minnesota Vikings (0-1) will have 10 days of rest between games following their season-opening loss at New Orleans when they play their first home opener on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins (1-0).  The good and bad news is that Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre will also be 10 days older, something that could help or hurt the team depending on how he has progressed.

Eagles Vs Lions Betting Preview
Mike Vick gets the start for the Eagles on Sunday and the birds are 6.5 point road favorites
Two different starting quarterbacks will take the field on Sunday for each side when the Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) visit the Detroit Lions (0-1).  The Eagles will turn to Michael Vick after Kevin Kolb suffered a concussion in a 27-20 home loss to Green Bay last week while Shaun Hill gets the nod for the Lions as the replacement for Matthew Stafford, who injured his shoulder on a sack by Chicago’s Julius Peppers in the second quarter of a 19-14 setback.

Patriots Vs Jets Betting Preview
The Patriots visit the Jets and are 2.5/3 point road favorites and maddux sports has NFL predictions on this game
The hype surrounding the New York Jets (0-1) heading into the season apparently should have been reserved for the New England Patriots (1-0), although both teams will simply be looking for a victory when they meet on Sunday.  The two AFC East foes continue their rivalry with the Patriots visiting new Meadowlands Stadium as small road favorites on the current NFL line over the Jets at -3.
