NFL Week 7 Sports Betting - UNDER Power Poll
by Mike Rose

NFL sports betting point spreads have been tightening up throughout the league, but BetUS.com's NFL betting experts keep you in the know with this week's NFL power rankings for 'unders'...
1: Washington Redskins (5-1) (LW: 2) If the Redskins weren't on this list, HC Jim Zorn may not have been stripped of his play-calling duties by owner Daniel Snyder. However, after losing to Kansas City last week, it almost seems like a formality that he's getting fired, win, lose, or draw after Monday night’s divisional battle with the Eagles.
Up Next: Home vs. Eagles
2: Denver Broncos (5-1) (LW: 2) If not for three special team touchdowns against the Chargers, the Broncos may still be an undefeated 'under' squad. HC Josh McDaniel has the right outlook on life right now, because even though his Denver team is 6-0 (and 6-0 ATS), it still has a lot of work to do to be a big time contender in the AFC.
Up Next: Bye
3: Arizona Cardinals (4-1) (LW: 3) The Cards continued their three-game 'under' streak with a dominating 27-3 performance on Sunday afternoon. It's going to take another Herculean defensive effort to stop the G-Men next week, especially after playing a 37-29 game against them last season.
Up Next: Away @ Giants
4: New York Jets (4-2) (LW: 4) HC Rex Ryan's defense probably wants to sue for a lack of support from his offense. Between QB Mark Sanchez's five interceptions and the fact that the unit couldn't score a point in the second half, the 'D' had its hands full. All of the turnovers cost a ton of field position, and ultimately the game. Still, because QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was at the reigns for the Bills, the game played under the closing 'total'. If the 'D' can't stop Oakland this week, it's going to be a long, long remainder of the season.
Up Next: Away @ Raiders
5: Oakland Raiders (4-2) (LW: 5) The silver and black put together their best game of the season against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon, and even though QB JaMarcus Russell threw the longest pass of his season when he found TE Zac Miller for a TD in the first half, the game still stayed a ways away from the posted number.
Up Next: Home vs. Jets
6: Houston Texans (4-2) (LW: NR) There isn't a team in the NFL that keeps coming closer to 'over' contests than the Texans. Two weeks ago, they came up a yard short of pushing their game against Arizona over the 'total'. Last week, RB Steve Slaton's fumble in the red zone late in the 4th ultimately cost over bettors once again.
Up Next: Home vs. 49ers
7: Seattle Seahawks (4-2) (LW: NR) Seattle has struggled both offensively and defensively this season, and the end result is a 4-2 winning record for 'under' bettors. Last week marked the fourth time that the Seahawks failed to score 20 points in a game when they lost to the Cards 27-3.
Up Next: Bye
8: Indianapolis Colts (3-2) (LW: 8) QB Peyton Manning and the Colts took a week off to prepare for their game at St. Louis this weekend. There's very little doubt that Indy will put up its points this weekend, so the question is whether or not the Rams will be able to do anything against this defense that’s only allowed an average of 14.2 points per game; the second best mark in football.
Up Next: Away @ Rams
