With information hotter than Jaime Edmondson, here is week 4 injury info for week 5 NFL picks.

For both fantasy football fans and NFL betting sharps, Week 4 was a bitter pill to swallow, as injuries affected several games. Let’s sort through the wreckage with an early injury report.

Michael Vick, Eagles: RIBS

Is the Eagles’ season about to go south in a hurry? Michael Vick has been one of football’s most exciting stories in 2010 but his glory may be short-lived thanks to a nasty hit he took in Philly’s loss to Washington on Sunday. As he walked off the field grimacing, it looked like he broke a rib or his collarbone. For now, the Eagles are calling him “day to day or week to week” with a rib cartilage injury. It’s still too early to tell how long he’ll be out and whether or not the injury will affect his throwing motion.

Jay Cutler, Bears: CONCUSSION

Poor Jay Cutler took nine sacks in just two quarters against the New York Giants before exiting with a concussion on Sunday night. Reportedly, he’s “doing OK” and may not miss any time, but the Bears’ offensive line is so bad that we should expect Cutler to take more big shots and get hurt again.

Darren McFadden, Raiders: HAMSTRING

Just when it looked like Run DMC was about to become a superstar…he gets hurt again. McFadden injured his hamstring and looks like he’ll turn over the running back reins to Michael Bush for at least a week.

LeSean McCoy, Eagles: RIBS

This news only broke today. Apparently more than one Philly skill player got his ribs banged up on Sunday. Starting running back LeSean McCoy fractured a rib in the defeat. If he doesn’t miss the Eagles’ next game, he’ll still probably be limited. The Eagles’ NFL futures suddenly don’t look like they did even one week ago.

Clinton Portis, Redskins: GROIN

The creaky veteran Portis showed surprising burst yesterday before “hearing his groin pop.” Ouch. Looks like Ryan Torain will get the lion’s share of the carries if Portis is out for a while. It certainly looks like he will be.

Pierre Thomas, Saints: ANKLE

Thomas didn’t play at all yesterday as he had trouble planting or cutting on his ankle before the Saints’ game against Carolina. Thomas’ Week 5 status is uncertain but, after Ladell Betts and Christopher Ivory did fine in his stead, perhaps the Saints won’t rush Thomas back.

Steve Smith, Panthers: ANKLE

We already had enough reasons to avoid betting on Carolina – but now Panthers’ top wideout Steve Smith is out with a high ankle sprain. The Panthers have a bye in Week 6 so we probably won’t see him until Week 7. Then again, Smith is a famously quick healer. Remember when he broke his arm over the summer?

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

Monday Night Football this week has New England at Miami, with both of those teams looking to run their records to 3-1 on the season. The Patriots (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) needed 38 points to get past the lowly Bills 38-30 at home last week. Tom Brady went 21-of-27 for 252 yards passing for the Patriots in that victory, with three touchdown strikes and no interceptions. BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 98 yards and a score for New England that day. The Dolphins (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) are coming off a 31-23 home loss to the Jets in Week 3, as Chad Henne went 26-of-44 for 363 yards passing with two touchdowns and one interception. Oddsmakers have set Brady and the Patriots as 1-point road favorites for the Monday night contest, while the total for the matchup sits at 46.5 points.

This week’s football schedule includes the Monday Night Football ESPN contest between the Patriots and Dolphins.

OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at the football betting match-up using key numbers employed by professional gamblers.

In comparing yards per rush on offense, the better numbers belong to New England by a .8 margin.

As far as passing yards per completion on the offensive side of the ball, the upper hand is for New England, but surprisingly by a negligible .1.

According to yards per point, the more efficient offense is New England’s by six yards, a strong edge.

Defensively the more stingy team based on yards per rush is New England by a trifle .1.

The superior defense in terms of passing yards per completion is also by the Pats, but by just .1.

The yards per point statistic used by the best sports handicappers says the superior defense is Miami’s by 4.4

Who to bet on according to the football betting experts against the spread. Oh GodsTips is 6-0 with college and pro football Wise Guys this week: BYU under Friday; Navy, TCU-under, Boise State under Saturday. Sunday it was the AFC Game of the Year on Cleveland, plus San Francisco to make it 6-0 with Wise Guys this week and 11-3 the last 14 football Wise Guys. But your wallet says that wasn’t even the biggest pick.

Yards per point is determined by diving total yards by number of points. Offensively a lower number is considered more efficient. On defense, a higher number is better.

GodsTips sweeps Wise Guys Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to improve to 11-3 with all football Wise Guys led by the Browns as the AFC Game of the Year from the top sports handicapper of all-time.

Overall it was 4-1 with a Wise Guy on the 49ers, plus Major plays on the Jets and Panthers, both easy covers from the top expert on football handicapping the NFL.

Here is what the pro gamblers got.

Wise Guy…

CLEVELAND +3 Cincinnati

AFC Game of the Year

As far as one of our favorite and productive truism, predictably unpredictable, that is the Cincinnati Bengals for sure. There is no way they win two straight on the road and three straight overall.

In fact, they opened up the year against New England, so this would be a perfect spot for a letdown even for a consistent team.

Cleveland is actually pretty competitive losing all three games by a touchdown or less.

We have said time and time again, straight up won-loss stats are the most overrated facet of handicapping. Looking to the key indicators, Cleveland gets 1.3 more yards per rush offensively than the road favorites do.  They average .9 more passing yards per completion.

On defense, the Bengals allow .7 more yards per rush. The only edge they have is slight in the defensive passing yards per completion.

The Browns’ O-line is playing pretty well; they’ve only surrendered three sacks this season.

Cleveland will win with the ground game. Peyton Hillis is coming off his best game of his career. He’s averaging 5.6 yards per carry for the season and the Bengals are allowing 4.5 yards per carry on defense.

The Browns likely get their first straight up win of the year. Carson Palmer is grossly overrated.

SAN FRANCISCO +7 Atlanta

Yes the 49ers are much better than they’ve shown. They are much more an underacheiver than overrated. My word, talk about a letdown—and it’s only been in recent years that we’ve fully utilized the “situation” angle. The big chalk is off a dramatic overtime win at their hated rivals, the defending Super Bowl Champs. Now they host the most undervalued team in the NFL.

Yes Atlanta is nine ahead of San Francisco in turnover margin, but this is correctable and very difficult to maintain. San Francisco has one of the best—and vastly underrated—defensive lines in the league. It is a very physical group that should be a great test for Atlanta’s nondescript o-line.

Very tough spot for Atlanta, and the perfect chance for a talented San Francisco team to put misery behind them.

Major…

Yes there was a last second loser on Pittsburgh, but everything else won early.

CAROLINA +14 -120 New Orleans

This is a competitor consensus. If we have a lean one way and one of the few sports services or sources we respect has a big pick on a certain side, we pass along as a competitor consensus.

NY JETS -6 Buffalo

Buffalo is a team that’s given up 72 points the last two weeks. The Jets need to get more confidence in their upstart offense. There is plenty of motivation to run up the score.

Buffalo can’t stop the run either. The Bills are allowing 141 yards per game on the ground. That’s four yards per attempt. LaDainian Tomlinson and company may feast in this game

Jets coach Rex Ryan and his crew bring it from multiple angles almost all game. That should be effective against the Bills, who have offensive chemistry issues. But as noted above, don’t over-blitz, because they could get you deep and ignite their crowd.

The Jets are getting .7 more yards per rush and 2.7 more passing yards per completion on offense. They are allowing 1.6 fewer yards per rush on defense. It’s a big blowout coming.

Defensively the more stingy team based on yards per rush is the Bears by a whopping 1.7 dichotomy.

The superior defense in terms of passing yards per completion is the G-Men by 2.0

The yards per point statistic used by the best sports handicappers says the superior defense is Chicago which forces teams to waste 8.0 more.
