NFL Betting Analysis – More Week 14 NFL Thoughts for Gridiron Gamblers

If you witnessed the New England Patriots absolutely demolish the New York Jets on Monday night in their emphatic – and completely surprising – 45-3 win, then you should know that last night’s blowout is the reason I’m writing my second ‘NFL Thoughts’ column in two days.

In what has been one of the craziest seasons in recent NFL history, last night’s game got me to thinking (again) about some more league-wide happenings that NFL betting enthusiasts will want to know about as they get set to zero in on their Week 14 wagering selections.

With Week 14 in the NFL quickly approaching, let me get down to business.

My Gridiron Grit Gang!

While the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have underachieved at absolutely amazing rates this season, NFL betting buffs everywhere have seen a slew of other teams overachieve consistently this season, mostly due to their overabundance of flat-out grit.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks have all surpassed expectations this season and could potentially reach the playoffs if they keep up their overachieving ways, so backing any of these teams for the remainder of the regular season could be a very smart idea.

Bolts Need to go ‘see the Wizard’

The San Diego Chargers routinely win double digit games during the regular season, usually en route to another AFC West title pro football gamblers.

However, if you’ve watched the Bolts the last few seasons, you know this team needs to go see the ‘Wizard’ and get some damn courage. Just when it looks like the Chargers are going to do something big, they fall flat on their collective faces – just like they did in their Week 13 loss to Oakland.

More, Lacking in the ‘Heart’ Department Teams!

If you want to know about some more teams that are lacking in the heart department and could be good candidates to fail to cash in against the NFL betting line more often than not over the course of the remainder of the regular season, then look no further.

The Houston Texans have been about as big disappointment as there is in the league this season, followed by an Indianapolis team that doesn’t (or can’t) run the ball or stop the run defensively.

Another trio of teams that NFL betting buffs may want to wager against as the regular season steamrolls toward a fast and furious finish are the Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals.

Run Jesse Run!

Remember the popular saying when Jesse Jackson ran for President back in 1984? Well, someone needs to tell Colts’ head coach Jim Caldwell that, if you can’t run the ball with some sort of success – or stop the run at all – then you’re not going to win very many games – even if you do have a future Hall of Fame quarterback … duh!

Don’t Do it Minny!

I’m not a real big believer in the fact that Tavaris Jackson has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, but I am adamant about Minnesota not putting Brett Favre back on the field this season – and have told BetOnline NFL gamblers this for the better part of the last month or so.

The Vikes need to begin building toward the near future – and that process begins right now by really evaluating Jackson.

Full of Hot Air?

I’m not going to absolutely count out the New York Jets after their Monday Night debacle, but I’m starting to think the New York Jets are full of hot air. The J-E-T-S never showed up against the Patriots – even though their mouths did – and always do. I say it’s about time for Rex Ryan to man up, shut his trap a bit – and get his team to follow suit.

Busting up Ben!

Is it me or did pro football betting enthusiasts –and fathers everywhere – love seeing Ben Roethlisberger get smacked in the face last week. The only thing better was hearing that ‘Big Ben’ suffered a broken nose!

No-No Niners!

The San Francisco 49ers are going back to Alex Smith after starting Troy Smith the last few weeks, but I say that’s a big non-no for Niners head coach Mike Singletary. Would someone please tell Singletary and the Niners brass that Smith is mediocre – and a backup at best. Let’s be honest and admit that Frisco blew it big-time by drafting Smith over Aaron Rodgers!

Kitna vs. Romo!

I posed this question to my super sports knowledgeable younger brother Brandon Eric Williams just last night asking, ‘who’s better?’

His answer mirrored mine … Kitna looks just as good as Romo ever has under center and if it were up to me, I’d make him compete for the starting job with Kitna next season.

Whisenhunt is no Whiz!

I always wondered why Ken Whisenhunt didn’t get the Steelers head coaching job when Bill Cowher retired, but Now I see why the organization chose Mike Tomlin instead.

Whisenhunt is about as bright as a three-watt light bulb!

When asked recently if he should not have gotten rid of former quarterback Matt Leinart, seeing as how the Cardinals don’t have a quarterback nearly as good as the former USC star, Whisenhunt told the NFL’s official website, "When we made the decision at the time, we did it based on what was best for our future going forward," Whisenhunt said.

"Obviously, it’s easy to second-guess now because it hasn’t worked out the way that any of us had hoped or thought it was going to. But I can’t go back and say now that you would do everything different, because the dynamic is different now."

See what I mean, Whisenhunt puts the ‘Stu’ in stupid!
