In what may just be the first time in the history of the NFL betting odds action the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks are going head to head in a matchup with major playoff implications for both teams.

The Bucs (8-6) have been one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this year. Coming off a 3 win season this team has already nearly tripled its win total from 2009 and if it wins its last two remaining games this season has a great chance of grabbing the last NFC Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

With so many big time games with major playoff implications in the NFL betting odds action it’s easy to overlook a game that features two traditional doormats like Kansas City Chiefs and the St Louis Rams.

But the 2010 NFL season has been a topsy-turvy one as crazy as it sounds this matchup is actually a game between two division leaders.

Thursday Night NFL gambling action is in full swing and this week’s matchup features a division rivalry between two desperate and struggling teams. The Indy Colts (6-6) desperately need a win to keep pace with the AFC South leading Jacksonville Jaguars (7-5) and the Tennessee Titans (5-7) have got to put the brakes on a 5-game losing streak before the season goes down the toilet.

Neither of these teams is playing very good football at this moment, and both teams will rely on their superstar players to get thing back on track. Colts’ QB Peyton Manning is suffering through the worst 3-game stretch of his NFL career (11 INTs in 3 straight losses) and Titans’ RB Chris Johnson has only 188 combined rushing yards in his past 3 games and 0 TDs. Whichever player has the bigger game will lead his team to victory. Read more
