The Cincinnati Bengals are a perfect 10-0 straight up and against the spread in their last 10 regular season home games.
Cincinnati is expected to extend its winning streak as a 6.5-point home favourite against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. Since 2011, the Bengals are 13-1 SU and 11-2-1 ATS in 14 games as a home favourite of four points or more. Tennessee could put up a fight, though, since the Titans have a 6-2-1 ATS record in their last nine road games.
On Thursday night, the Atlanta Falcons will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is 0-5 SU and ATS over its last five games, including an 0-2 SU and ATS start to the season this year. Atlanta is favoured by 6.5 points in this NFC South matchup.
Sunday’s most anticipated matchup is undoubtedly the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks. The Super Bowl rematch will give Peyton Manning and the Broncos a chance at redemption after an embarrassing 43-8 loss in last year’s big game.
Seattle is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games heading into a bye week and is a five-point home favourite this weekend, according to sportsbooks monitored by NFLOdds.ca. It’s the first time in nearly two years that the Broncos are getting points (32 straight games since Oct. 15, 2012, at San Diego).
The Oakland Raiders game against the New England Patriots serves as this week’s David vs. Goliath matchup: The Raiders are the biggest underdogs on the board at +14. Oakland does have a 7-3 ATS record in its last nine games as a road underdog despite a 1-9 SU record over that stretch.
The Raiders are actually 4-4 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as double-digit underdogs on the road. Despite their opening loss, the Pats remain heavy favourites in AFC East odds at Bovada.
On Sunday night, the Carolina Panthers host the Pittsburgh Steelers as 3.5-point favourites at home. Carolina is off to a 2-0 SU and ATS start this season, and the Steelers are just 1-1 SU and 0-2 ATS.
