NFC Week 10 Power Poll
by Mike Rose
NFL handicapping has been particularly difficult at times this season, but don't fret! BetUS Sportsbook has all of the NFL power rankings you need to help you with your football betting in the NFC!
1: New Orleans Saints (6-2 ATS, 8-0 SU) (LW: 1) The Saints spotted the Panthers two TDs on the betting line and two more TDs in the first quarter, and it was only barely enough for Carolina to cover the spread. New Orleans has now proved that it can win from behind both at home and on the road, and could be the team to beat in the NFC.
Up Next: Away @ Rams (-13.5)
2: QB Alex Smith, WR Michael Crabtree, and TE Vernon Davis. Yeah, but the team is still just 3-5. That had better change soon, or HC Mike Singletary may flip his lid.
Up Next: Home vs. Bears (-3) -115
3: Dallas Cowboys (5-3 ATS, 6-2 SU) (LW: 5) How 'bout 'dem Cowboys? "Big D" is in the saddle in the NFC East and holds a commanding lead on a playoff spot. Just a few weeks ago, everyone was asking about HC Wade Phillips and when he was getting fired. Now we're back to asking "if" and not "when." A few more wins, and we'll be asking about an extension.
Up Next: Away @ Packers (-3) +100
4: QB Brett Favre and the Vikes find a way to blow this lead in the division, they should be sent to the glue factory.
Up Next: Home vs. Lions (-16.5)
5: Philadelphia Eagles (5-3 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 2) Sunday night's loss to the Cowboys had to be crushing for the Eagles. They could've carried a one-game lead with the tiebreaker into Week 10, but now, HC Andy Reid and the gang have to be scratching their collective heads about how they're going to find a way to win the NFC East. The good news is that most of the other Wild Card contenders in the NFC also fell on Sunday.
Up Next: Away @ Chargers (+2)
6: Arizona Cardinals (5-3 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 6) The Cardinals are apparently a miserable home team and an exceptional road team this year. They left the desert and laid an absolute beating on the Bears on Sunday afternoon. QB Kurt Warner's five TDs more than made up for his five INTs two weeks ago against Carolina.
Up Next: Home vs. Seahawks (-8.5)
7: Atlanta Falcons (5-3 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 10) Atlanta bettors had to be scared for a little while, but ultimately, a 31-17 victory over the Redskins was enough to get the job done and beat the number. The Falcons are just 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS away from the Georgia Dome this year, which will make these next two tasks incredibly difficult.
Up Next: Away @ Panthers (-1.5)
8: Green Bay Packers (4-4 ATS, 4-4 SU) (LW: 7) Have the Packers totally mailed it in? The 2009 season hangs in the balance after they lost to the previously winless Bucs 38-28 at Raymond James Stadium. Next week is a very important emotional game, as there is a big difference between a game above and a game below .500 this deep into the season.
Up Next: Home vs. Cowboys (+3) -120
And the rest…
9: Chicago Bears (4-4 ATS, 4-4 SU) (LW: 8)
10: New York Giants (4-4-1 ATS, 5-4 SU) (LW: 9)
11: Carolina Panthers (3-5 ATS, 3-5 SU) (LW: 13)
12: Seattle Seahawks (3-5 ATS, 3-5 SU) (LW: 14)
13: St. Louis Rams (3-5 ATS, 1-7 SU) (LW: 11)
14: Detroit Lions (2-6 ATS, 1-7 SU) (LW: 12)
15: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-6 ATS, 1-7 SU) (LW: 16)
16: Washington Redskins (2-6 ATS, 2-6 SU) (LW: 15)
