NFL Betting Preview  SBG Global Opening Line: Cowboys - 12.5 , Total 46.5  The Dallas Cowboys will look to win their third straight game and stay in the playoff hunt as they host the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving afternoon. The return of Tony Romo has sparked the Cowboys offense and Dallas looks like a playoff team again. Last week Romo hooked up with Terrell Owens on a number of deep passes in the Cowboys 35-22 win over San Francisco. Romo threw for 341 yards while Owens had 213 yards receiving. They could have similar numbers on Thursday against a Seattle secondary that is second worst in the NFL against the pass. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Cowboys at Home.  The Cowboys are tied with Washington for second place in the NFC East and need a win to stay close in the playoff picture. Romo has led the Cowboys to wins the last two seasons on Thanksgiving, as Dallas won by an average of 29.5 points.  Seattle may not present much of a challenge for Dallas. Even with the return of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks continue to lose. Hasselbeck has not played well in the last two games throwing a number of interceptions and making bad decisions. “To be honest, I can’t wait to play another football game, because (Sunday) was not my best effort,” Hasselbeck said. “I’m not playing up to the level that I am capable of. I’ve got to fix it quick.” Former Dallas running back Julius Jones will get the start for Seattle despite the fact that Maurice Morris is playing better this season for the Seahawks.  Here are the NFL betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 13. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between the two teams and the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.  The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games in November. The Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games. The Cowboys are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. The Cowboys are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 vs. the NFC.  SBG Global Current Line: Cowboys - 12.5 , Total 46.5  The Under is 5-0 in the Seahawks last 5 games in November. The Under is 4-0 in the Seahawks last 4 games overall. The Over is 5-2 in the Seahawks last 7 road games. The Over is 4-1 in the Cowboys last 5 home games. The Over is 6-2 in the Cowboys last 8 Thursday games. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.  Pick: Seahawks 2 out of 5 units

NFL Betting Preview  SBG Global Opening Line: Buccaneers - 10.5 , Total 38  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to add to the misery of the Seattle Seahawks season as they host them on Sunday night. The Seahawks have done very little right this season and will be missing quarterback Matt Hasselbeck again on Sunday. The Bucs are also missing their starting quarterback but Jeff Garcia was the starter last season and the Bucs didn’t miss a beat last week with Garcia at the helm. “This is just one game and we don’t know what’s going to happen next,” Garcia said, “But it felt great to be playing again. If we can just build on these things, we have a lot of good things to look forward to.” SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Buccaneers at Home.  The Bucs have been superb at home this season, outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 81-33. The Bucs have not had much success at home against Seattle though, losing all four meetings. Tampa is actually 1-7 all-time against the Seahawks. This is not the same Seattle team though. Hasselbeck is out and the defense is a disgrace, ranking 27th in the league. The offense is no better, especially without Hasselbeck, as the passing game is next to last in the NFL. “We don’t have the ability right now like we have had in the past to overcome (things),” head coach Mike Holmgren said. “It’s tough right now … It is a test of sorts, you know, we are not used to this. But here were are … And we still have a lot of games to play. So we have to start dealing with that.”  Here are the NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game. The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the NFC. The Seahawks are 6-26 ATS in their last 32 games in October. The Seahawks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Seahawks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 7. The Seahawks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the two teams. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.  The Buccaneers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games on grass. The Buccaneers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. the NFC. The Buccaneers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games.
SBG Global Current Line: Buccaneers - 10.5 , Total 38 Â The Over is 7-0-1 in the Seahawks last 8 games overall. The Over is 4-0 in the Seahawks last 4 road games. The Over is 6-0-1 in the Seahawks last 7 vs. the NFC. The Over is 21-6-1 in the Seahawks last 28 games in October. The Under is 4-1 in the Buccaneers last 5 games in October. The Over is 7-3 in the Buccaneers last 10 vs. the NFC. The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams. Pick: Bucs 2 out of 5 units

NFL Preseason Betting Preview  SBG Global Opening Line: Chargers - 6  , Total 39.5  The matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and San Diego Chargers on Monday was expected to feature both starting quarterbacks but that will not be the case as Seattle starter Matt Hasselbeck is unlikely to play due to a stiff back. Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace has been excellent this preseason but is unlikely to see much time since he has a sore groin so that means third string quarterback Charlie Frye will get the bulk of the snaps on Monday for Seattle. “Absolutely your starting quarterback has to be ready for the first regular-season game,” Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren said, “(With) the guys that have played as long as he has played … you are not quite as concerned about their minutes in the preseason. Now, I want him (Hasselbeck) to feel better. That’s my main concern. But as far as not playing or not getting enough reps, I don’t worry about that too much.” Seattle is also missing receivers Bobby Engram and Deion Branch due to injuries. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Chargers at Home.  The Seahawks are excited about their rookie running back Justin Forsett. He has 194 yards and a touchdown in the preseason. He is battling with Julius Jones, T.J. Duckett and Maurice Morris for playing time. The Chargers are also happy with their rookie running back. Jacob Hester will see the bulk of the action on Monday since LaDainian Tomlinson is unlikely to play. Tomlinson has not played in a preseason game since 2005. SBG Global Current Line: Chargers - 6 , Total 37  NFL betting stats show that the Chargers and Seahawks are meeting in the preseason for just the ninth time, with Seattle leading the series, 5-3. Last year the Seahawks won 24-16.  The two teams have met 48 times in the regular season with Seattle leading that series 25-23. Another interesting NFL betting statistic shows that Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren was 37-25 to the over in his preseason career before this preseason began. Holmgren has always been known as an offensive coach in Seattle and Green Bay so that should not come as a huge surprise. Pick: Chargers 2 units
