Atlanta Falcons vs Oakland Raiders NFL Predictions: The Falcons (4-3) were on a two game winning streak until last week when they lost on the road 27-14 to Philadelphia. QB Matt Ryan was 23-for-44 for 277 yards with two interceptions. He threw two TDs to Roddy White, including an 8-yard score late in the fourth that made it 20-14. RB Michael Turner had 58 yards rushing on 17 carries. The Falcons look to take advantage of one of the NFL's worst run defenses when they host the Raiders this week. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Bookmaker.com currently list Atlanta Falcons -3 favorites to Oakland Raiders heading into this matchup.

Quarterback Matt Ryan On the overall performance of the team last week: “It’s a tough loss. We had a chance with a couple minutes to go to still get into it and win the game, but [we] fell a little bit short so we’re disappointed, but you’ve got to bounce back. We’ve got a bunch of games coming up; we're out in Oakland next week, and as difficult as the loss is, you’ve got to re-shift your focus and get ready to play next week.”

The Raiders (2-5) are off a road loss last week as they got blown out 29-10 at Baltimore. QB JaMarcus Russell was 15/33 for 288 yards, 1,TD and 1,INT. Oakland didn't cross midfield until its first possession of the third quarter, when rookie Chaz Schilens caught a 60-yard pass that led to a field goal. The Raiders gave up 200+ rush yards against NYJ at home two weeks ago but still found a way to win. Jamarcus doesn't know how to read defense, ATL will blitz him early and often and force turnovers. The online sports betting odds at Bookmaker.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Atlanta Falcons vs Oakland Raiders game is set at 41 points.

NFL Predictions: Both teams are coming off road losses and need to get back on track quickly if they are going to stay competitive in their division races. Atlanta has been getting outstanding reviews from the consistent performance of QB Matt Ryan, who already appears to be ahead of JaMarcus Russell in his development. Atlanta ended a three-game losing streak to Oakland with a 35-10 victory in the most recent meeting on Dec. 12, 2004. Oakland RB Darren McFadden (toe) hasn't been healthy enough to start a game since the end of September, but he showed his explosiveness in Week 2 vs. Kansas City. Over is 8-0 in Falcons last 8 games following a S.U. loss.

Miami Dolphins vs Denver Broncos NFL Football Odds: The Dolphins (3-4) got a big home win last week over division rival Buffalo 25-16. QB Chad Pennington was 22/30 for 314 yards and 1 TD. On the season he has 7 TD passes and 3 INT's. Pennington was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week on Wednesday for his performance during the team's big win last week. It was a great and much needed win. Pennington performed. Porter is an animal. The guy is in line for the Pro Bowl if he continues his ways. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at BetUS.com currently list Denver Broncos -3 favorites to Miami Dolphins heading into this matchup.

''I thought Chad was outstanding, I really did,'' coach Tony Sparano said. ``He hung in there tremendously. We always talk about Chad managing the game, and doing this and that, and I felt he really helped us win this football game.''

The Broncos are (4-3) off a bye week that they needed badly after losing on Monday Night Football two weeks ago in a blow out on the road to New England 41-7. It was 20-0 at halftime, 34-0 after three quarters. Sammy Morris, the Patriots' 31-year-old halfback who has never rushed for more than 523 yards in a season in his nine-year career, had a career-high 138 yards by halftime. The Broncos also committed two costly 15-yard penalties on an 84-yard drive capped by the first of Cassel's two TD passes to Moss. The online sports betting odds at BetUS.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Miami Dolphins vs Denver Broncos game is set at 49 points.

"We got our butt kicked, from the first play to the last," Broncos cornerback Dre Bly said. "It's just embarrassing to be on a national stage and play the way we did. We're a good team. We didn't show it tonight in front of the nation."  "I don't think that was it at all," Broncos defensive lineman Kenny Peterson said. "This is one of the biggest stages in football. Monday night. Coaches did a great job of keeping our minds focused on what we needed to be focused on. Believe me, the bye was the last thing on guys' minds."  

NFL Football Odds: Miami hosted Buffalo last week and secured a crucial AFC East win. It's safe to say that the Dolphins, coming off a one-win season, already have surpassed expectations. This game is the biggest game of Miami's season. If they win they are 4-4. If they lose they are 3-5. Even though they have 5 games against "lesser" teams a 3-5 record will be too much for this young team to come back from. Denver needs this game badly too and they are at home. If they lose this game it will be tough to come back to make the playoffs. Under is 4-0 in Dolphins last 4 games in November.

Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans NFL Football Picks: The Packers are (4-3) coming off a bye week. Two weeks ago they picked up a big home win over Indianapolis 34-14. QB Aaron Rodgers was 21/28 for 186 yards and 1 TD. On the season Rodgers has12 TD's and only 4 INT's. Safeties Nick Collins and Aaron Rouse both ran interceptions back for long touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers gutted out his third straight game with a sprained right shoulder, going 21-for-28 for 186 yards and a touchdown despite 30-mph wind gusts at Lambeau Field. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently list Tennessee Titans -5.5 favorites to Green Bay Packers heading into this matchup.

"There was no doubt we needed to be 4-3 going into this bye," Rodgers said. "You know, it's been a situation where guys have stepped up in the absence of guys that have been injured, and guys that have been injured have been playing well through the pain. This is going to be a great week for us to just relax and get healthy."

The Titans are (7-0) coming off a Monday Night Game, beating rival Indianapolis 31-21. QB Kerry Collins was 24/37 for 193 yards. Hope had been the only starter in the Titans' secondary without an interception, and he turned in his first two-pick game of his career. Anyone who has watched the Titans knows that they will give up the short stuff and give up some yards between the 20's before stiffing up and forcing the offense into making mistakes.When passing teams like to throw deep and can't they get frustrated and start forcing things. The online sports betting odds at Sportsbook.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans game iss et at 42 points.

"We're trying to get where they've been," Collins said. "It was a big step for us tonight I think. We obviously got off to a good start, and to get one more against a division opponent is again real big at this time of year." "The season's still early, and there's a lot of games left," Fisher said. "Our focus was on the Colts and trying to prepare ... to try to find a way to beat them. That was the commitment that we made this week. We're not looking ahead. We'll now look ahead to next weekend. As far as the division and all that stuff's concerned, we're just trying to win ballgames right now." 

NFL Football Picks: This is a great matchup between two teams that are expecting to make it far this season. The Titans defense will depend not just on their secondary, but the front four as well. Rodgers, given time, can make the throw, but I believe the game plan for the Titans will be to generate some kind of pressure, force Rodgers to make a quick throw. This will be first meeting between the Packers and Titans since Oct. 11, 2004, when Tennessee won 48-27 at Green Bay. I expect it to be a good game. GB will score points, the question is will they stop the running game?  Packers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.

Arizona Cardinals vs St. Louis Rams NFL Football Picks: The Cardinals are (4-3) coming off a road loss last week to Carolina 27-23. QB Kurt Warner was 35/49 for 381 yards, 2 TD's and 1 INT. Warner's lone interception, a tipped pass that Jon Beason grabbed near the goal line early in the fourth quarter, led to John Kasay's 50-yard field goal for the final margin. The Cardinals lost another tough road game last Sunday at Carolina, but put on an aerial exhibition with Anquan Boldin returning to the lineup. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Heroescasino.com currently list Arizona Cardinals -3 favorites to St. Louis Rams heading into this matchup.

The Rams are (2-5) coming off a loss last week 23-16 on the road to New England. The Rams couldn't overcome the absence of RB Jackson, their leading rusher and receiver who missed the game with a strained right thigh muscle. And defensive end Leonard Little left in the first half with a hamstring injury. If Jackson was in the line up I really think they would have upset the Patriots last week. What I couldn't understand was the lines makers and the betting public pushing the line to -9 favorites for the Patriots. The Rams have been playing great lately and the Pats just getting by. The online sports betting odds at Heroescasino.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Arizona Cardinals vs St. Louis Rams game is set at 48 points.

"Four weeks ago, we would have looked at this game as a win" because it was close, QB Bulger said, "but we're disappointed." 

NFL Football Picks: The Rams defense can't stop the Cardinals, the Rams can't go three deep on passing so they will run them over through the air. The Rams offense has good players but they can't put it together. if Jackson does not do well, then they have no shot. The Rams have come a long way since the first four games of the season. The Rams are showing signs of life under head coach Jim Haslett and this home game against the first-place Arizona Cardinals is another chance to build momentum. The Rams will put up points but will it be enough? Cardinals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings in St. Louis. Underdog is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings.
