Monday Night Football Predictions: Bears at Lions Odds and Betting Picks
by Alan Matthews - 10/7/2011

It’s arguably the biggest divisional game for the Detroit Lions since they moved into Ford Field in 2002 and it’s also the first time the Lions have hosted a Monday night game in that stadium (their last was in 2001 in the Silverdome), so it should be quite a boisterous crowd for “Monday Night Football” this week when Detroit hosts Chicago in an NFC North tilt. Unfortunately for Lions fans watching at home, they won’t get to hear Hank Williams Jr.’s legendary MNF opening!

Monday Night Football Picks: Colts at Bucs Odds and Betting Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/29/2011

Think the folks at ESPN are a little envious of their compatriots at NBC right now? I say that because later in the season, NBC is allowed to use a flex schedule to get a better game for its Sunday night telecast. “Monday Night Football” doesn’t get that option at all, and you know MNF would have flexed out the Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis Colts this week. Thankfully, it’s the only Monday Night Football schedule appearance of the season for the club.

Monday Night Football Predictions: Redskins at Cowboys Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 9/23/2011

The Cowboys have been probably the most entertaining team to watch through two games in that both of their games have had exciting, last-minute endings. In Week 1 Dallas should have won at the Jets before Tony Romo choked in the clutch with a crucial fumble, then for some reason throwing at Darrelle Revis in the final minute and seeing that get picked off. So a 24-10 lead turned into a 27-24 crushing loss. Dallas had been 246-1-1 when leading by 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Monday Night Football Picks: Rams at Giants NFL Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 9/15/2011

It’s a big night for the St. Louis Rams as they will appear on Monday Night Football for the first time since 2006 when they visit the Giants in New York’s home opener – it’s the first time the G-Men have hosted a MNF game since 2003 (that doesn’t seem possible, but it’s true). It’s also the Rams’ only road game until Week 6.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: Saints at Falcons Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/27/2010

The Atlanta Falcons have not lost in the Georgia Dome since Dec. 13… of 2009. They are now one win away from not having to play another road game until September of 2011. If the Falcons (12-2) can get past NFC South rival New Orleans (10-4) on Monday night in Atlanta at 8:30 p.m. EST, then Atlanta will earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the first-round bye and the home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/20/2010

The Metrodome roof gave way last Sunday and those developments give way for an interesting Monday Night Football game. The NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings (5-8) and Chicago Bears (9-4) Monday at 8:30 p.m. EST will now be played at TCF Bank Stadium.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: Ravens at Texans Betting Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/13/2010

For whatever reason, the Houston Texans are on national television again. Monday night’s game against Baltimore at Reliant Stadium in Houston at 8:30 p.m. EST represents the second consecutive week the Texans have been featured on a nationally televised game and third time this season.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: Jets at Patriots Betting Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/6/2010

Another Monday night and another critical divisional matchup between teams with identical records, but unlike last week when fellow 3-7 squads San Francisco and Arizona dueled it out, this Monday’s showdown between the 9-2 New York Jets and the 9-2 New England Patriots will have the entire league watching.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: 49ers at Cardinals Betting Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/29/2010

The 49ers and Cardinals would be battling for positioning in the NFL Draft in most divisions. The NFC West is not most divisions. Both teams are still very much alive for a playoff spot (and a home game in the postseason, no less) thanks to the incredible mediocrity of the NFC West. Some call it parity, but most call it bad football. Regardless, both teams have shown potential at times this season, albeit inconsistently.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks: Broncos at Chargers Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/22/2010

An AFC West showcase on Monday Night Football also presents a showcase of two of the league’s top passers. But the reason that Denver’s Kyle Orton and San Diego’s Phillip Rivers are two of the elite passers in the league is because they are usually playing from behind.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks and Predictions: Eagles at Redskins Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/15/2010

Donavan McNabb got the best of his former team in the last meeting against the Eagles despite posting pedestrian numbers. If he wants a season sweep over the Eagles, McNabb will have to have a better game because this time Michael Vick will be starting for Philadelphia when Philadelphia (5-3) visit the Washington Redskins (4-4) Monday night at 8:30 p.m. EST in a critical NFC East matchup.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks and Predictions: Steelers at Bengals Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/8/2010

The Steelers continue their primetime tour with their second of three consecutive games under the lights as they travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in an AFC North clash on Monday Night Football tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks and Predictions: Texans at Colts Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/1/2010

Houston ended the hex Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts had over them with a resounding 34-24 Week 1 win. Now they will try to end the hex the city of Indianapolis has held over them. The Texans have never won in Indianapolis in nine tries.

Monday Night Football NFL Picks and Predictions: Vikings at Jets Betting Odds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 10/11/2010

In case Monday Night Football was not a big enough spectacle, this week’s clash brings together the two storylines that made sure there was no real offseason in the NFL. Brett Favre and his summer-long ‘will he or won’t he’ saga and the “Hard Knocks” themselves, New York Jets, clash Monday Night at 8:30 p.m. ET in New Meadowlands Stadium.

Monday Night Football Picks: Patriots at Dolphins Betting Odds and NFL Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 10/4/2010

Tonight’s matchup looks like a classic AFC East showdown between the Patriots and Dolphins. Both teams enter the game 2-1 and both have approached the games in their own way. The Patriots have tried to outscore teams on their way to a 2-1 start while the Dolphins held two opponents to 10 points each on the way to their 2-1 start.

Monday Night Football NFL Predictions: Packers at Bears Betting Odds and Picks
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 9/27/2010

They usually say throw the record books out the window when these two NFC North rivals meet, but there will no need for that when they meet tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET. Both the Packers and the Bears enter this week’s Monday Night Football showdown 2-0. The Packers 2-0 record comes to the surprise of no one, while the Bears have turned a lot of heads with their start.

Monday Night Football Picks: Vikings at Bears
by Matt Severance - 12/28/2009

Another 1-1 outing last week in our Monday Night Football picks as we hit on the Giants giving three points to the Redskins (at a four-star rating) but missed on the under total because the Skins totally rolled over and quit. In fact, Washington coach Jim Zorn probably cost himself any future job in the NFL -- I’m talking even as a coordinator, because clearly he will never be a head coach again -- with that ridiculous fake field goal debacle, but that’s a column for another day.

Monday Night Football Picks: Giants at Redskins
by Matt Severance - 12/21/2009

I just can’t seem to get a 2-0 week on these picks, as last week’s Cardinals-49ers game saw another split – making me 4-4 in these Monday Night Football picks so far. I hit on the ‘under’ last Monday night but whiffed badly on the side. It’s not really that surprising that San Francisco won, but it was surprising how dominant the Niners’ defense was. And it was about time they fed the ball over and over to Frank Gore.

Monday Night Football Picks: Cardinals at 49ers
by Matt Severance - 12/11/2009

Another split for me last week on the Monday Night Football game, as I hit on the ‘under’ total between Green Bay and Baltimore but missed on the Ravens getting three points – I told you I wasn’t too confident in the side anyways (two stars out of five) but loved the total (four stars). So hopefully you only half listened to me – the confident half. I am now 3-3 through three weeks of these Monday Night Football picks.

Monday Night Football Picks: Ravens at Packers
by Matt Severance - 12/4/2009

Well, last week’s Monday Night Football game between the Pats and Saints, which was highly anticipated as a shootout, turned into a dud with New Orleans dominating. I missed on the Patriots but did hit on the under. That makes me 2-2 through two weeks of making these selections.
