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.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will look to avoid a second straight NFL betting defeat at home against a divisional rival when they take on the Tennessee Titans on MNF.

Matchup: Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Date: Monday, October 18th, 8:30 ET
Location: Ever Life Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
Game Line: Jacksonville +2.5
Over/Under 45

Titans Notes: The Titans have been a weird team this year from the standpoint that they are just 1-2 at home and are 2-0 on the road. When RB Chris Johnson runs for at least 100 yards on the day, Tennessee is 3-0 SU and ATS. When he doesn't, it is 0-2 SU and ATS. Needless to say, for a man that has already carried the ball a whopping 113 times this year in just five games, Johnson has his work cut out for him once again on Monday Night Football. When QB Vince Young drops back to throw the football, he is usually looking to get the pigskin to either WR Nate Washington or WR Kenny Britt, particularly near the end zone. Young has only thrown for six scores this year, and all but one of those went to one of those two targets. Washington only has 15 receptions for the year for 218 yards, while Britt has just 14 catches for 173 yards, but the Jaguars certainly aren't going to be forgetting about the role that these two play while trying to run down Johnson, or they are going to be setting themselves up to get burned in a bad way. The Titans are really starting to struggle with opposing passing attacks. They are now ranked just No. 27 in the NFL in pass defense at 242.6 yards per game, and they conceded a total of over 800 yards in their L/2 games against the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys. The defensive line did a great job last week of keeping QB Tony Romo on the run, though. Romo was sacked six times. DE Jason Babin, once a first round draft choice of the Houston Texans, has emerged this year with Tennessee and leads the team with 5.5 sacks.

Jaguars Notes: In very uncharacteristic form, the Jags are playing 'over' game after 'over' game this year. There is plenty to be concerned about on the defensive side of the ball to say the least. Last week, Jacksonville gave up a whopping 26 points to the Buffalo Bills, who have been nothing but fodder for opposing defenses this year. In fact, that marked the fourth straight game in which a foe scored at least 26 points against it. The Jags have put 67 points on the board in the L/2 weeks, but they can't rely on that happening on a regular basis with an offense that really doesn't have too many aerial threats. QB David Garrard really isn't making the most of his chances this year, but he isn't getting burned by it quite yet. Garrard has completed 66.4 percent of his passes, which would easily be a career high if he kept it up for the season, for 789 yards with nine scores and six picks. With just 11 more TDs in his next 11 games, it would be the first time that Garrard threw for 20+ TDs in a season. TE Marcedes Lewis is becoming a terrific threat near the end zone. He only has 192 yards on 16 receptions this year, but five of those 16 snares have come for touchdowns. The offense is paced by the running of RB Maurice Jones-Drew, though. The man that resembles a little bowling ball has carried the ball 102 times this season for just 406 yards and one TD.

The Final Word: The way you beat the Titans is by throwing the ball, and that's not something that Garrard is really prone to doing all that well. Instead, HC Jack Del Rio is going to try to out-physical Tennessee, something that just isn't going to work. The Titans will get the ground game going and will take advantage of a Jacksonville defense that really hasn't run up against a superior ground game yet this year. Johnson will get to the century mark once again on the ground, and once again, the end result won't change.

Free Pro Football Picks: Tennessee -2.5
Prediction: Tennessee 27 – Jacksonville 20

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.
