NFL Betting Trends - Best Under Teams as of Week 4

Bookmark and Share by Mike Rose

Even though there have been plenty of offensive fireworks so far in this NFL betting season, not every game has been a barnburner. Check out which teams you should be looking to place ‘under’ bets on this week with BetUS’s NFL Football ‘under’ power poll…

1: Denver Broncos (3-0) The NFL's only spotless 'under' team shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. The Broncos are probably going to struggle on offense all season, and their defense has beaten up on three offenses that may be even worse than their own. It seems like a formality that the Cowboys are going to score more points on the Denver 'D' this week than Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Oakland did combined.

Up Next: Home vs. Cowboys

2: New York Jets (2-1) QB Mark Sanchez may be well on his way to the Rookie of the Year award, but the MVPs on the Jets are the 11 guys lining up and playing defense. HC Rex Ryan has his 'D' buzzing, as the unit didn't give up an offensive touchdown in their first nine quarters of action this year. This week should be a really interesting test against a high-flying New Orleans offense.

Up Next: Away @ Saints

3: Chicago Bears (2-1) If you had told Bears bettors at the start of the year that LB Brian Urlacher wouldn't even complete one full game, they'd probably tell you that they'd have a lot of 'over' contests. However, QB Jay Cutler really hasn't lived up to the hype just yet, and 'over' bettors are the big losers in the bunch. Last week was the first 'over' game of the season for the boys from the "Windy City," and the only reason the game went over was because the oddsmakers compensated for Seattle's loss of QB Matt Hasselbeck.

Up Next: Home vs. Lions

4: Oakland Raiders (2-1) Can Oakland's offense find a way to get out of its own way at some point? QB JaMarcus Russell sure isn't playing like a former #1 overall draft pick. He has only thrown for 378 yards this season, which just isn't going to cut it. No wonder why the Raiders rank 30th in the NFL in points scored...

Up Next: Away @ Texans

5: New England Patriots (2-1) It's hard to blame QB Tom Brady for how poorly his rushing attack has been this season. Brady's on pace to throw for his 4,000+ yards again, but thanks to a defense that ranks well in spite of the fact that it lost Pro Bowl DE Richard Seymour right before the season, the Pats just don't seem to be playing as many 'over' games as one would think.

Up Next: Home vs. Ravens

6: St. Louis Rams (2-1) The bad news for HC Steve Spagnuolo and his offense is that it ranks dead last in the NFL in points per game at just 8.0. The worse news? That's up to 8.0 points per game after "pouring" 17 on the Packers last Sunday.

Up Next: Away @ 49ers

7: Cleveland Browns (2-1) What does it say for HC Eric Mangini that his offense scored 20 points in Week 1 and isn't averaging double digits in points per game this year? Everyone circle December 27th on your calendars. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a game between the Raiders and Browns...

Up Next: Home vs. Bengals

8: Miami Dolphins (2-1) The Dolphins are running the ball well, they're stopping the run, and now that QB Chad Pennington is done for the season, they shouldn't have any problems playing plenty of 17-10 type games. Still, the oddsmakers are ready for this routine, so no matter who's taking snaps for the Fins, be careful about betting 'unders', as these 'totals' are inevitably going to be incredibly low.

Up Next: Home vs. Bills
