December is upon us and that means that wins and losses now carry much more weight than during the first few months of the NFL season. Up ‘til now the Monday Night football betting matchups have been interesting and exciting but of little consequence.
But things are different now and the upcoming Monday Night football odds contest between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens should not only be a helluva game but it’s going to have a very meaningful impact on the playoff picture in both conferences.
Right now in the AFC the Ravens (6-5) are the possessors of the second wildcard by virtue of their head-to-head win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. If they lose on Monday they’ll most likely lose their lead in this tight wild card race. Read more…

Maybe Chris Johnson isn’t all that crazy. Everybody knows the Titans RB can run the ball like nobody’s business but when he started handicapping NFL games a few weeks ago and claimed that the Titans would rattle off ten straight wins the crazy quotient was upped to absurd levels.
Yet anyone who saw the Titans bull-doze their way to a Monday Night football betting win over the Texans has to admit, a Tennessee run doesn’t seem quite as ridiculous as it once did. After starting the season 0-6 there is absolutely no one could foresee a four-game winning streak but the team’s turnaround boils down to two key events: Vince Young taking over the starting role and Johnson emerging as the best back in the NFL.

On Monday night football betting the former Houston franchise (the Tennessee Titans) will take on the current Houston franchise. This is an interesting matchup for any number of reasons the least of which is the Houston connection.
Since re-instating Vince Young as the starting QB the Titans are a perfect 3-0; that’s a pretty big deal for a team that started the season 0-6. The team will look to run its record to 4-6 in the Monday Night football betting, something that once seemed impossible.
Tennessee’s best weapon, Chris Johnson is putting together one of the best statistical years a RB has had in years. He’s already broken the 1,000 yard barrier and is averaging 121 yards a game on an astounding 6.4 yards per carry.
The Texans must slow down Johnson to win this Monday Night football odds contest. Stopping him completely isn’t likely to happen, not with his big play potential but if they can keep him under 100 yards the Texans will win. Read more…
Before the season started this might have looked like a compelling Monday Night Football betting matchup on paper but it reality there is almost nothing compelling about this AFC North showdown. The Baltimore Ravens have been a moderate disappointment at 4-4 and will have to fight for their lives to make the playoffs.
The Browns have been simply terrible and so bad at times that it’s almost unwatchable. So you can be forgiven if this week’s Monday Night Football betting matchup doesn’t send chills down your spine.
Already in the early Monday Night Football odds, the Ravens are 10½ point favorites and the spread could even widen out between now and then. If the week 1 results from the first time these two teams played are anything to go by, this will be a lop-sided win for Baltimore. Read more…
