How Will Seahawks Fare with Banged-Up Wilson?
The Seattle Seahawks were eager to establish themselves as the NFL betting favorites in the NFC West, and this past weekend’s win over the San Francisco 49ers was certainly a step in the right direction. However, their 37-18 win over San Francisco did not come without a price. During the game Russell Wilson suffered an injury that would later be revealed to be an MCL sprain. Injuries in the NFL are always serious, especially when dealing with a ligament in the knee. Throughout his career Wilson has earned a reputation as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the league.

Prescott and Cowboys Becoming Football Betting Favorites
Dak Prescott’s performance this past weekend against the Chicago Bears has won him the hearts of Cowboys’ nation. After Prescott completed 19/24 passes for 248 yards, 1 touchdown, and a 123.6 passer rating, it’s hard not to jump on the rookie’s bandwagon. In fact, Prescott has been so impressive that online football betting fans that favor the Cowboys’ might not want Romo to return once he’s fully healed.

Be Afraid: NE Patriots go 3-0 without Brady, aim at 5-0
Oh, be very afraid, AFC Conference. People who bet on NFL and who have stuck with the New England Patriots, on the other hand, should be very proud of their allegiance. The Pats shut out Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans 27-0 last night at Gillette Stadium. At this point we would add, “and they did it without Tom Brady.” Let’s redact that; they did it without Tom Brady’s backup Jimmy Garoppolo. They did it with the backup’s backup. Life sure does imitate art, because this is pretty much the plot of Any Given Sunday.

Green Bay looking more like Lame Bay
Coming into this season many critics considered the Green Bay Packers to be the safest bet on NFL futures. But the way Green Bay has performed in their first two games has left many fans regretting their prediction. The Packers opened their season by barely squeezing by the Jacksonville Jaguars – a team that went 8-24 in the last two seasons. The Jaguars are currently 0-2 but the NFL recently admitted that they missed a crucial call late in the game that would have put the Jags in an excellent position to win the game. Had the flag been thrown the Packers would likely be sitting at 0-2 for the season and be in an even worse position than they find themselves in now.
