Fantasy Football: NFL Injuries for Spread Picks

NFL point spread players have already gotten free spread week 5 NFL picks from Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy on the Falcons vs. 49ers and Matt Rivers has the sports betting pick on the Patriots vs. Broncos.

As the world awaits NFL Network’s Deion Sanders to speak on his relationship with Michael Crabtree and Dez Bryant, the experts from OffshoreInsiders.com present the official NFL injury report for sports bettors.

Raiders vs. Giants

Though QB Eli Manning is officially a game time decision, he will play according to Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com. However he cautions, “Laying two touchdowns, head coach Tom Coughlin can afford to be cautious.”

Expect journeyman David Carr to relieve him.

Cowboys vs. Chiefs

Dallas will be without two key skilled position players as RB Felix Jones and WR Roy Williams are both out. Starting C Andre Gurode is questionable.

Jaguars vs. Seahawks

Matt Hasselbeck is expected to start at QB for the Seahawks. It will be his first action since Sept. 20. How long will he last? Seattle is without three starters on their offensive line. Walter Jones, Rob Sims, and Sean Locklear are all out.

On the defensive side, the Birds will be without CB Marcus Trufant, LB Leroy Hill and possibly their top pass rusher Patrick Kerney.

Steelers vs. Lions

Lions starting QB rookie Matt Stafford is very doubtful. Veteran Daunte Culpepper is expected to start and would be better short-term says Senior Handicapper Stevie Vincent of OffshoreInsiders.com 

However Pittsburgh is without their best defensive player as Troy Polamalu is expected to miss. Disappointing RB Willie Parker is also out for the Super Bowl Champions giving Rashard Mendenhall a chance to follow up on his 165 rushing yards performance last week.

Colts vs. Titans

Indianapolis S Bob Sanders will likely get his first snaps of the year on NBC’s Sunday night football game. Sanders is officially listed as doubtful, but Todd Marr of ScoresOddsPicks.com says his sources tell him Sanders will probably play. CB Marlin Jackson is out.

Titans starting CB Cortland Finnegan is questionable. The Titans have several players on both sides of the line who are banged up, but will play hurt.

Patriots vs. Broncos

Rookie Knowshon Moreno will start at RB as Correll Buckhalter is out. The oft injured Buckhalter is leading the league in yards per rush at 7.2.

Buccaneers vs. Eagles

Eagles starting QB Donovan McNabb returns behind center.

Falcons vs. 49ers

San Francisco will be without RB Frank Gore. However the NFL betting specialist Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com says fantasy football players will want to note that Glenn Coffee is a talented running back who will burst onto the scene today.
