Online sportsbook customers and NFL betting sharps will be paying particular attention to two defensive duels this week—the Vikings-Titans matchup and the Ravens-Steelers matchup. The old adage says that defense wins championships, and these four teams will be taking one more step towards the Vince Lombardi trophy. Meanwhile, you should be taking steps towards making money on your online sportsbook, with these inviting NFL football odds, NFL football lines and NFL spreads.

Minnesota Vikings (+3) @ Tennessee Titans (-3)

Two trends to consider in the Vikings vs. Titans matchup: The total has gone under the NFL betting odds total in five of Minnesota’s last seven games. Similarly, the total has gone under NFL odds in five of Tennessee’s last six games. Undoubtedly, sports betting sharps will be pounding the under on NFL betting totals. Neither of these teams like to pass the ball into the end zone, so don’t be expecting many big plays out of veteran quarterbacks Gus Frerotte and Kerry Collins. The key difference is that while both like to pound the ball into the red zone—the Vikes have the worst red zone offense in the league, and the Titans have the best.

Take the under on NFL football lines, and give Minnesota a look in this tight game, due to favorable NFL odds as part of your NFL football picks.

Baltimore Ravens (+8) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-8)

For those who aren’t NFL betting sharps, the NFL football lines in the Ravens vs. Steelers matchup would seem very strange. However, a bad shoulder on Ben Roethlisberger and an injury to running back Willie Parker have pushed the NFL odds back a bit.

The problem is—Joe Flacco has struggled, badly. This being his first road start as a rookie quarterback calls for another lackluster performance, especially against a stellar Steelers defense. Take the Steelers as part of your NFL football picks or parlays on Betonline.com.
