Monday Night Football game between the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams closed Week 6 of the pro football season with top class action. Down 14-0 in the first quarter of the game, San Francisco responded with 24 unanswered points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters to finally take the victory 31-17 and improve to 4-2. So here we are just days away from another exciting round of NFL betting, but before we get to Week 7, we gotta check some of the highlights and other stuff that happened on Week 6 and that could impact the football odds for this coming week.
Panthers and Bengals staged the first tie of the season and third since 2012. Ties are normally boring and tedious, but at Sunday’s match was far from that. The score was 34-34 at the end of the regular time, then both teams went up to score a field goal in OT. Bengals kicker Mike Nugent missed a 36-yard field goal attempt, and by the the time the overtime period expired, Panthers and Bengals had set a record for the highest-scoring tie game in NFL history.
The Cowboys expanded their winning streak to 5 games with a road victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes to give the San Diego Chargers their fifth straight win and send the winless Raiders to bottom of the league (Oakland has its 11th straight loss). Vetaran QB Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to a last second comeback win over the Miami Dolphins and put the Packers right behind the Lions in the NFC North at 4-2.
With Miami’s loss to Green Bay and the road victory over Buffalo, the New England Patriots moved atop of the AFC East and recovered their status as a red hot favorite to win the division and get to the postseason. The Colts are also moving up in their division, they’ve won four straight games and have taken the lead in the AFC South.
Week 7 is loaded with action, with several games pitting possible playoff contenders, but there are three games that keep me thinking: Patriots@Jets, Giants@Cowboys and 49ers@Broncos. Here is our prediction for these matchups:
