A pair of NFC 8-6 teams fighting for their playoff life highlight Sunday's NFL late-afternoon betting schedule when the Seattle Seahawks clash with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Big D. BetAnySports has listed the Cowboys as 4.5-point home favorites with the total set at 47 for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. kickoff on FOX.
The Seahawks have dropped their last two games with losses to Jacksonville on the road and to the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams at home to put their backs firmly against the wall when it comes to extending their consecutive streak of playoff appearances past five seasons.
The Cowboys are looking to extend their current winning streak to four games after getting past Washington at home and the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders on the road in their last three outings. They need to win their last two games and get some help to make their third trip to the postseason in their last four seasons. As an added bonus, Dallas will have running back Ezekiel Elliott back in the starting lineup after sitting out his last six games due to a league suspension.
As part of my weekly NFL coverage for SportsBettingStats.com the following link is to my full game preview and 'best bet' betting pick for this crucial NFC tilt.

Rodgers and Foles NFL Prop Bet Picks
Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns to Green Bay's starting lineup this Sunday against Carolina after missing the team's last seven games with a broken collarbone. The 7-6 Packers are listed as three-point underdogs on the road by BetAnySports.com in what is basically an elimination game as far as earning a spot in this season's NFC playoffs.
The 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles have already clinched the NFC East Division title and they will be playing for a first-round bye this Sunday as 7.5-point road favorites against the rival New York Giants. They will also be playing without their franchise quarterback Carson Wentz after he tore his ACL in last Sunday's win against the Los Angeles Rams. In his place will be six-year veteran Nick Foles, who got his start in Philly as a third-round pick out of Arizona in the 2012 draft. After leaving the Eagles for brief stints with the Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs with is old head coach Andy Reid, he returned to Philadelphia this season to be reunited with is old quarterback coach and current Eagles' head coach Doug Pederson.
Given all the drama surrounding both of these player personnel moves, BetAnySports.com has also released some special player props for both of these signal callers in conjunction with this Sunday afternoon's game. In one of my betting news articles this week for ScoresandStats.com, I came up with my free 'best bet' picks for a pair of these props based on the value in the betting odds.

Eagles vs. Rams Betting Preview & Pick
One of the top matchups on this Sunday's NFL slate is an NFC showdown between the 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles and the 9-3 Los Angeles Rams with major implications for this season's playoffs. Both teams lead their respective divisions and the winner of this game will be in the driver seat for a first-round bye as one of the top two seeds in the conference.
The betting line for this game had an early lean towards the Rams with the general betting consensus. They opened as slight one-point home favorites and the early money going their way has pushed the spread to 2.5 points at BetAnySports. The number has come back down to 1.5 points in favor of Los Angeles with some weekend money on the Eagles. The total line for this game opened at 51 points, but it has been bet down to 48 points as of Saturday.
The big subplot in this game is the first head-to-head meeting between the top two picks of the 2016 NFL Draft. Eagles' quarterback Carson Wentz remains one of the top betting favorites to win this year's league MVP award, while Jared Goff has already led the Rams to their first winning season since 2003. The winner in this game will also have the early leg up in what could be one of the best quarterback rivalries in the NFL in the coming years.
The link below to OSGA.com is my official betting preview and pick for Sunday's game, which is slated to get underway at 4:25 p.m. on FOX from Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

NCAAF Championship Saturday Betting Tip Sheet
It is Championship Weekend in college football and USC got things rolling with Friday night's 31-28 victory against Stanford to lay claim to the Pac-12 title. The 11-2 Trojans failed to cover as 3.5-point favorites to fall to 4-9 against the spread this season so the big question bettors have to ask themselves heading into Saturday's action is can a few more dogs cash a winning ticket in their championship games?
I recently put together a betting tip sheet for ScoresandStats.com covering all the Power 5 title games. I personally like Wisconsin getting six points against Ohio State as my top play for Saturday's Big Ten Championship with the Badgers coming away with a straight-up win against the Buckeyes despite a current five-game losing streak against their inter-division rivals. Please check out the link below for my full betting preview.

Packers are Heavy Dogs at Pittsburgh
You know things are upside down in the NFL this season when the Green Bay Packers are set as 14-point underdogs and the line does not even move in their favor as we get closer to kickoff for Sunday night's road game against the 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. Green Bay started the season 4-1 with Aaron Rodgers leading the way as one of the top passers in league while his team established itself as the clear favorite to represent the NFC in this season's Super Bowl.
The Packers' fortunes took a major turn for the worst when their future Hall of Fame quarterback when down with a broken collarbone in a Week 6 loss to Minnesota. Since that point, they have gone 1-4 in their next five games with their chances of even making the playoffs in serious doubt when you consider how many NFC teams there are with better overall records heading into the stretch run of the regular season.
As part of my NFL coverage for SportsBettingStats.com, I took a closer look at Sunday night's inter-conference matchup between Green Bay and Pittsburgh to see what kind of value I could find in the Packers at such long odds. Please check out the link below for my full preview and free betting pick.

NFL Week 11 Top Prop Bet Picks
One of the best ways to add both betting action and excitement to Sunday's NFL slate of games is to put some money on any number of team or player betting props that online sportsbooks such as BetAnySports.com release each week in conjunction with each of these games. This week, I have focused my attention on a pair of special team props for the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys in games that should basically be considered 'must wins' for both of these teams as far as keeping their fading playoff aspirations alive.
The Raiders are the only team in the NFL that has failed to record an interception through their first nine games. They are playing host to Tom Brady and the 7-2 New England Patriots in Mexico City this Sunday afternoon as 7.5-point underdogs and the prop bet odds have been set for Oakland's chances to end this particular turnover drought.
Dallas is now a 4.5-point home underdog for Sunday night's showdown against the rival 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles. This will be the Cowboys second game without All Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is in the process of serving out his six-game league suspension. In his absence last week against Atlanta on the road, quarterback Dak Prescott was sacked eight times after getting taken to the turf a total of 10 times in his first eight games this year. Dallas went on to lose that game 27-7 to fall to 5-4 on the year. The betting odds for Philadelphia's total sacks in this Sunday's game is another prop that offers some solid value in the posted numbers.
