Cold, windy conditions await Dolphins in Denver
The Miami Dolphins will have more than just Peyton Manning to deal with when they visit the Denver Broncos Sunday afternoon. Very un-Miami like weather conditions could make things tricky for the Dolphins at Mile High.
Weather forecasts are calling for temperatures starting in the low-40s before dropping to the low-30s - possibly before the game concludes. Also, there is a 63 percent chance of rain by the start of the game and wind will blow across the field at around 15 mph.
Manning and the Broncos are currently 7-point home favorites and oddsmakers currently have the total at 47.5.
Cardinals WR Fitzgerald a game-time call
Arizona Cardinals head coach announced Friday that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will be a game-time decision after not practicing for the third-straight day. Fitzgerald has a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee, a knock he picked up in last week's win versus the Detroit Lions.
The ex-Pitt Panther has 46 catches, 658 yards and two touchdowns on the season. If he doesn't go, Arians said the combination of Jaron Brown, John Brown and Ted Ginn will pick up the bulk of the workload.
Colts tend to bounce back after ATS loss
Despite the Indianapolis Colts tough loss to New England last week, bettors shouldn't worry, as the Colts have been a good bet the week after failing to cover the spread.
Indianapolis is an impressive 14-2 against the spread in their last 16 games following an ATS loss.
This time the Colts will try to bounce back against the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars, but to do so Indianapolis will have to put up some points as they are currently laying 13.5 points.
Over bettors hoping Patriots keep streak going
Totals bettors are hoping the New England Patriots can keep their impressive over streak going against the Detroit Lions Sunday.
The Patriots have gone over the total in seven consecutive games and are 8-2 over/under for the season. The total for today's clash with the Lions is currently at 48.
Detroit could make this task difficult however, as they have been one of the best under bets this season at 2-8 O/U and own the league's best scoring defense, giving up just 15.6 points per game.
RB's Foster, Bush expected to miss Sunday's action
The Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions are expected to be missing key pieces to their backfields for their Sunday afternoon games. Both will test their injuries in pregame warmups to be sure.
Foster is nursing a groin injury he suffered back in Week 9 that forced him to miss last week's game. Houston is currently a 1.5-point home favorite against Cincinnati, with a total of 43.5.
Bush meanwhile, would miss his second straight game with a nagging ankle injury that has caused him to miss four games this season. The Lions travel to New England where they will be 7.5-point road dogs with a total at 48.
Gordon expected to play 20-30 snaps for Browns Sunday
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is expected to play 20-30 snaps on offense in his season debut for the team, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
It is Gordon's first game since serving a 10-game suspension for failing the league's substance abuse policy.
Cleveland visits Atlanta early Sunday afternoon, where the Falcons are 3-point home favorites and the total is sitting at 47.5.
