We’re now over halfway through the 2021/22 regular NFL season, and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that every week seems to generate more excitement than the previous one.
The shocks keep on coming, the Super Bowl betting favorites tag keeps changing hands, and we’re continually kept on our toes by what is such an unpredictable and exciting NFL season!
Week 10 kicks off on Thursday night with the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins squaring off.
At +1000, the Ravens are in the mix to win the Super Bowl, while the same can’t be said about the Dolphins.
In the latest betting to win the Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back as the betting favorites with the best online sportsbooks, despite not playing last weekend.
This comes after the Buffalo Bills saw their odds drift on the back of their shock 9-6 defeat by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The loss was the Bills’ third defeat of the season.
| 2021/22 Super Bowl Winner Betting |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Tampa Bay | +550 | +550 |
| Buffalo Bills | +600 | +575 |
| Arizona Cardinals | +850 | +750 |
| Los Angeles Rams | +750 | +800 |
| Baltimore Ravens | +1000 | +900 |
| Dallas Cowboys | +1000 | +1000 |
| Green Bay Packers | +1000 | +1000 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | +1000 | +1100 |
| Tennessee Titans | +1100 | +1200 |
The first match I want to look at this week is Thursday night’s clash between the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens.
The Dolphins secured their second win this season against the Houston Texans on Sunday, also beating the spread.
As for the Ravens, they defeated the Minnesota Vikings by 34 points to 31 – they did require overtime to complete the win.
This was the Ravens’ sixth win of the season, and the victory saw them remain top of the AFC North.
I suspect that with the Dolphins at home, they will rack up something in the region of 12 to 20 points. I also think they will lose though, and I expect the Ravens to score around 25 to 30 points.
I’m tempted to go over 46.5 on the total points market, but I also believe that the Ravens will beat the spread on the handicap.
BetUS (check out our BetUS review for more NFL betting offers) are offering -105 on Baltimore to beat the spread, and I think that’s a fair call.
So I’m taking the Ravens (-7.5) to win on the spread.
Moving onto Sunday, and what a match for the Buffalo Bills to have to try and immediately get back to winning ways.
So far this season, the Jets are 2-6, while the Bills are 5-3.
The Bills got stung last week and I expect them to come out fighting this week. They will want to show the NFL that the 9-6 defeat to Jacksonville was a one-off.
As for the Jets, they lost 45 points to 30 away to Indianapolis Colts, in the Thursday night fixture.
The Jets are 2-1 at home, compared to 0-5 away. But I can’t see them providing any real obstacle to the visitors, and I expect the Bulls to beat the spread and win the match comfortably.
The Sunday night prime time slot is filled with the ongoing soap opera team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
This week they are in Vegas to take on the Raiders, and again Andy Reid’s team will have us wondering if they can back up last week’s win.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the most infuriating side in the NFL to bet on.
You don’t know what you’re going to get from them from one week to the next, but yet they still intrigue you enough to want to try and predict them.
Their 13-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was their second win in succession.
This week, the Chiefs are up against a Las Vegas Raiders side directly above them in the AFC West and coming off the back of a disappointing 23-16 defeat away to the New York Giants.
At home, the Raiders have a 3-1 record this season, while on the road, the Chiefs are 2-2.
The best NFL betting sites are giving the Raiders a +2.5 points start on the point spread. If the Chiefs win, I suspect they will probably win by more than this.
The problem is the usual one with the Chiefs though.
I said last week that betting on the Chiefs is essentially a bet on which version of them turns up on the day, and so it proved.
I called that one wrong, as the better version of the Chiefs turned up and won.
Again, the Chiefs’ offense wasn’t great in beating the Packers, they managed to put up just 237 yards on Sunday, the lowest since Patrick Mahomes became quarter-back.
But Kansas can take heart from the fact that they beat an in-form Packers, and they can still see plenty of room for improvements on top of that.
This week, I’m going for the Chiefs to keep their run going, and I’m taking them to beat the -2.5 handicap.
