Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for NFL Week 9 for pro football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Arizona Cardinals (+300 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Minnesota Vikings, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Let's be real here… Is a two win team that is in dismay really going to beat any team in the NFL, regardless of whether it is home or away, more than three out of four times? The Vikings are the easiest team to place NFL bets against this year right now, as the perception on them by the oddsmakers is still good in spite of the fact that they are potentially in shambles. HC Brad Childress could really be fired any deal now, as owner Zygi Wilf is beyond infuriated by the fact that Childress released WR Randy Moss without Wilf's consent. Arizona isn't nearly good enough this year to be a playoff team, as its offense is really just not that good. However, the Cardinals have a knack for winning games like this, as HC Ken Whisenhunt knows what it takes to beat the best teams in the league. Don't be so shocked if one of the biggest underdogs on the board this weekend ends up being the biggest barker on the weekend.

Underdog Pick #2: Seattle Seahawks (+260 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. New York Giants, Sunday 4:05 ET: We know that the Giants have won four straight games and arguably have the hottest team in the NFL, but we are going to laugh at that right in the face. The Seahawks have one of the best home field advantages in the game, as Qwest Field is notorious for being the hardest place for an opposing team to play. Even if QB Matt Hasselbeck doesn't end up playing, we have trust that QB Charlie Whitehurst has the ability to pull off this upset. The key is going to be taking advantage of New York mistakes. The Giants haven't always been the most disciplined team this season, and if that starts to rear its ugly head this week in Seattle, bad things can happen. We know that the Seahawks aren't the better team in this game, but they are definitely going to end up winning this game at least one out of three times, even though we tend to believe that this is a 50/50 proposition.

Underdog Pick #3: Buffalo Bills (+130 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Chicago Bears, Sunday, 1:00 ET: You have to make the Bills underdogs every single time that they take the field, but last week, we rode with them and nearly came up with the big upset last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. It isn't quite a "home game" at Ralph Wilson Stadium, but playing in the Great White North in the Rogers Centre in Toronto is almost as important and could create an atmosphere that is even more electric. The Bears are off of their bye week, but boy, do they seem like a train wreck waiting to happen. Chicago knows that QB Jay Cutler has to take care of the football, but until RB Matt Forte ends up finding a way to average more than four yards per carry, the weight of the offense is on his shoulders. Do you want to lay -150 or so that Cutler doesn't throw a game away against a winless team that is incredibly hungry for that first 'W'? We certainly don't.

Underdog Pick #4: Detroit Lions (+180 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. New York Jets, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Two of the best teams in the NFL in terms of covering football spreads hook up at Motown, and once again, we are taking advantage of a soft line. The Lions are still underrated by the oddsmakers, and they are incorrectly underdogs in this game. The Jets are coming off of their worst outing in years, getting shutout by the Green Bay Packers. Can the offense really recover? We do know one thing, and that's that Detroit is going to have to bring its A game to take care of the New York defense. QB Matt Stafford is back in the fold, and he has a heck of a lot of weapons. The argument could be made that the Lions have more weapons on offense than any team in the AFC East, including the New England Patriots! Giving us this type of a line on a home team that is really trying to establish itself as a legitimate playoff contender is ludicrous. Don't be shocked if the Lions roar in a huge way to make a big statement on Sunday.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for NFL Week 8 for pro football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Denver Broncos (+110 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. San Francisco 49ers, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Give us a break. C'mon, the 49ers are playing with a third string quarterback making his first start in years. The Broncos are significantly better than the 2-5 record that they are sporting right now, though last week's 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders sort of begs to differ about that. Every team has a dud every now and again, and for Denver, last week was it. The short passing game is a great strategy to try to beat a San Fran defense that has been the best part of the team to date. Some of the best running backs in the NFL have absolutely been crushed by this Denver 'D' this year. Don't let that big performance last week by RB Darren McFadden fool you. It'll be tough sledding for RB Frank Gore, and we bet that the speed of the defense will be able to keep QB Troy Smith in the pocket, which will take away his legs. Parlay that with the ability to just let their corners stick one on one with receivers, and the Broncos could be in for a fine showing in Jolly Ol' England.

Underdog Pick #2: Jacksonville Jaguars (+240 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Dallas Cowboys, Sunday 1:00 ET: This NFL underdog pick is simply based off the fact that there is a good chance that the Cowboys just hit the self-destruct button and forget about the rest of this nightmare of a season. There's no reason that a team that is 1-5 and has looked like you know what all season should be laying 6.5 points, even against a Jacksonville team that has really shown very little this year. QB David Garrard should be back in the saddle once again, and he has already directed a win against the Indianapolis Colts this season. Don't be overly shocked if this is yet another "upset" in what might be the last week you see the Cowboys getting this type of respect on the NFL lines.

Underdog Pick #3: Buffalo Bills (+280 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Ah yes… the upset that would blow up virtually every Survivor Pool in the country… The Bills nearly did that last week at the Baltimore Ravens, pushing one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl to overtime before finally succumbing. Look, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't the second coming of QB Jim Kelly, but he is certainly playing better ball right now than recent QB rejects like QB JP Losman and QB Trent Edwards ever did. Buffalo has to win a game at some point… right…? The Chiefs are due to be coming back to earth at any moment now, and we think that this is the perfect combination of a great time for a good game from Buffalo parlayed with a perfect letdown spot for Kansas City.

Cappers Info continues working towards the 2010 NFL betting season, and to prepare you for the action, we take a look at the five teams that you should be avoiding this year. Placing your season win total bets on the 'under' on these five squads!

Buffalo Bills under 5.5 (-135 @ Brobury Sports):  For our money, the Bills are the worst team in football. The quarterbacking trio of Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards, and Brian Brohm will inevitably all get plenty of time under center this year, but none of the three are really capable of being starting quarterbacks. The AFC East is a horror this year, and getting even one win in division would be a triumph. Yes, we love the addition of RB CJ Spiller as a playmaker, but there were several other positions of need for Buffalo, while Fred Jackson or Marshawn Lynch were both capable of running for 1,000+ yards. Missing WR Terrell Owens is going to hurt, especially considering the fact that there were really no great replacements. The pass rush on this team is going to lack as well without DE Aaron Schobel in the mix. The secondary was fantastic last year, and though it is still a strong unit, you can only guard wide receivers for so long. Head Coach Chan Gailey has never really succeeded at any level, and it is puzzling how he got this job. There's no way Buffalo is winning six games this season.

Denver Broncos under 7 (-130 @ Brobury Sports):  We can see the Broncos finishing at 7-9 this season to push us, but to win eight games and finish .500 is going to be a tall task. The Broncos really don't have any marked improvements from last year's team, especially after picking up QB Tim Tebow in the first round of the NFL Draft. Demaryius Thomas is a good replacement for WR Brandon Marshall in the long run, but replacing that type of productivity is going to be nearly impossible for just one man. The Broncos do have four games combined against the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders, but that doesn't mean that those are four given wins. Aside from that, this is a second place schedule. With HC Josh McDaniels on the hot seat already in his second year, he is going to feel a lot of pressure if things start to go downhill. Winning in Jacksonville in Week 1 will be paramount, because a four game stretch shortly thereafter of games against the Colts, Titans, Ravens, and Jets probably won't yield a single win. Going .500 just isn't going to happen with this schedule, especially considering we haven't discussed two games with the San Diego Chargers yet.

Jacksonville Jaguars under 7 (-140 @ Brobury Sports):  The Jaguars have a number of problems this year. The first is that HC Jack Del Rio is probably on the hottest seat in the sport. The second is that the city is on the hot seat as well. Trying to get sellouts together for a team that isn't winning in a lousy market is nearly impossible, and with the bright lights of Los Angeles potentially calling, the Jags are going to have a lot of distractions. The first home game of the year will be anything but, as there will be more No. 15 Tim Tebow jerseys floating around than Jacksonville jerseys at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Without WR Torry Holt, QB David Garrard really doesn't have many options to throw the pigskin to. For a man that has never thrown more than 18 TD passes, this doesn't look like the year that Garrard emerges as a truly elite quarterback in the NFL. The defense is undergoing a transformation as well, particularly in the front seven. Adding Kirk Morrison seems like a good idea after he led the Raiders in tackles last year, but when you get kicked out of Oakland and replaced by a rookie, how good could you possibly be? Picking up DL Tyson Alualu so early in the NFL Draft was questionable at best, and poor drafts of late are probably going to cost this team. Now look at the NFC South schedule! A 2-4 record might be the best case scenario for the Jags. They aren't winning six games out of division play this year.

New York Jets under 9.5 (+110 @ Brobury Sports):  There is no doubt that the Jets have a better team this year than they did last year when they went to the AFC Championship Game. However, let's remember that this team only went 9-7 last season. Now remember that this isn't a third place schedule any longer. The Miami Dolphins won't have the same type of problems they did last year in all likelihood. If QB Mark Sanchez can't get it together this year, there are going to be a lot of problems in the Big Apple. The defense isn't going to be sneaking up on anyone this year, as the game plan for HC Rex Ryan is fairly clear. There is also a big question about whether or not RB Shonn Greene and RB LaDainian Tomlinson can really put up the same type of numbers that RBs Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have in recent seasons. The only games this year that aren't going to be a huge challenge are @ Buffalo on October 3rd, @ Detroit on November 7th, @ Cleveland on November 14th, and home against Buffalo on January 2nd. Notice that three of those four games are on the road… The Jets are improved, but the schedule is brutal. Getting to ten wins is going to be a difficult task and won't happen half the time for this team.

Philadelphia Eagles under 8.5 (-120 @ Brobury Sports):  By the end of the season, the Eagles will get a swift kick in the butt from the ghost of Donovan McNabb. Getting rid of No. 5 was a huge mistake, and it will show immediately. We aren't doubting that Kevin Kolb has the ability to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, but we aren't so sure that that transformation can really take place this year. The Eagles could have problems in the rushing game without RB Brian Westbrook, as LeSean McCoy probably isn't in the same sort of class as the rest of the backs in the NFC East. Defensively, the squad took a huge blow with the loss of SS Marlin Jackson in the preseason to a ruptured Achilles tendon. Just like the Jets, the Eagles might have a different perception if the schedule was a bit easier. Six games against the NFC East and four against the AFC South are going to be a terror, while the NFC North isn't a walk in the park either. Could Philly finish .500? Sure. Is it likely that it will get above that crucial point and finish in the playoff picture? Probably not.
