Pats over Browns: Safest Wager this NFL Betting Weekend
While the NFL betting community wasn’t exactly sure how the New England Patriots would fare without Tom Brady, this past weekend the community got to see just how bad things could’ve went.

Are the Cardinals a good Bet on NFL Games?
In the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals are the two teams that have proven least worthy of your bet on NFL money lines; the Cardinals because of their inconsistency, and the 49ers because of their consistent lack of success. Interestingly enough, both of these ball clubs will be facing off to provide Week 5’s Thursday Night Football. San Francisco seemed promising enough when they opened the 2016 season by shutting out the Los Angeles Rams. But ever since that game San Fran hasn’t been able to get much going offensively, and has fallen to 1-3. In spite of their lackluster play, the 49ers have still been making headlines. Albeit, for all the wrong reasons. Colin Kaepernick has been at the center of the controversy regarding players’ protest of the national anthem.
Who to pick When Betting on Monday Night Football?
Coming into the 2016 season the New York Giants seemed like the safest bet on NFL futures within the NFC East. Despite the fact that the Giants finished the 2015 season with a 6-10 record, they seemed like the team most likely to win a division that has changed hands for the last 11 years. But now 4 weeks into the season the Giants don’t find themselves as the frontrunners in the East, instead that honor belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 4 the Eagles will have a bye week, so the Giants are faced with a pristine opportunity to try to take the division out from underneath the Eagles.
