The NFL Network’s recent Top 100 Players of All-Time program listed Peyton Manning as the second best QB in the history of the NFL betting odds competition. Only 4-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana was listed higher at the position. But anyone that’s seen Manning in action this season could make a good argument for bumping him past Montana on the all time list.

Whereas Montana had Rice, Clark and Taylor to throw the ball to and Roger Craig and Tom Rathman to hand the ball off to, Manning is working with practice squad players named Tamme, White and James.

And he’s putting up ridiculous passing stats (309.8 yards passing per game, 16 TDs, 4 INTs) and has led the Colts to an impressive 5-3 record. Read more…

The Green Packers have hardly been the world beaters many NFL gambling gurus thought they would be this season but when you lose a new starting skill player to injuries every week it’s tough to maintain your edge. And at 5-3 and atop the NFC North the season has hardly been a waste, but this team has struggled mightily at times this season and ranks just 14h in the league in scoring (22.0 ppg).

But the Browns are the best 2-5 team in the league. This team is coming off a major upset of the Super Bowl Champion Saints in the Super Dome. They’re also coming off a Bye week in which they had an extra week to study tape on the Pats. But this team’s coaching staff is awfully familiar with the Pats as head coach Eric Manginius got his coaching start there. Read more…

There are very few certainties in life but death, taxes and a Carolina Panthers loss in the NFL gambling action are among the few things you can set your watch to.

The 1-6 Carolina Panthers are arguably the worst team in the NFL (although they did barely defeat the 1-6 Niners at home) and they have little to no chance at all of beating the Saints this weekend.

Kickoff for this Sunday matchup is set for 1:05 Eastern Time and SBG Global Sportsbook opened with the Saints as a 6.5-point favorite with an over/under total at 41. Read more…
