The staff of the top NFL picks site OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at sports betting and fantasy football news and notes for the NFL early card on Sunday.

Giants-Rams

The Giants have won 10 straight road games. They have won the last three in the series. Going back to last year, the Rams have lost five straight games by an average of 21.8 points per game.

Saints-Redskins

The Skins were 5-3 straight up at home last year, but that includes consecutive blowout wins. The Saints though will be without key WR Marques Colston. Jeremy Shockey had six catches in his Saints debut.

Where do we go for football picks against the spread? Laying eight, Western Michigan wins by 22 as the Non-BCS Nonconference Game of the Year. With one west coast game pending, GodsTips is 7-2 in football Saturday, 25-12 the last two week and it looks like winning week 6-of-7 is assumed.

Bears-Panthers

The Bears could be in a letdown situation, playing their second straight road game, but especially being off a big win at Indianapolis. Of course, the Panthers are off a big upset themselves, stunning the San Diego Chargers on the last play of the game.

The Panthers have lost four straight home openers and went 2-6 in North Carolina last year. Quietly Chicago starting QB Kyle Orton is 13-6 in his career.

Raiders-Chiefs

Going back to last season, the Raiders have allowed 30 or more points four times in five games. That includes last week’s abomination losing to Denver 41-14. Although Oakland was 2-6 on the highway last year, one of the wins was at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs have lost 10 consecutive games. They start Damon Huard in place of injured Brodie Croyle. He’s 9-9 all-time as a starter, but 2-0 to Oakland.

Colts-Vikings

The Colts loss last week snapped a 21-game winning streak straight up on the first two months of the year. Minnesota has lost three straight games with Tarvaris Jackson at QB, though they are a respectable 5-2 at home with him.

Titans-Bengals

Kerry Collins takes over for Vince Young at QB this week for the Titans. Tennessee also is dealing with distractions about rumors of Young’s depression. Bengals signal caller Carson Palmer is trying to rebound from a game last week in which he didn’t even throw for 100 yards.

Going back to last year, the Titans have won four straight holding each foe to less than 17 points. Cincinnati has won the last two in the series.

Packers-Lions

Green Bay is facing a short week having won on Monday Night Football. Detroit is off a disheartening 13-point loss to the Atlanta Falcons, considered by many one of the worst teams in the NFL. They allowed 318 yards rushing most to career backup Michael Turner.

Detroit has actually won 4-of-5 home openers straight up.

Buffalo-Jaguars

A surprise to some, the Bills are off a win and the Jags off a loss. Once considered mistake free, Jacksonville QB David Garrard was picked off twice last week. He threw zero interceptions through his first game last year, but now has been picked off five times in four games. Even worse for him, both starting guards are out of the year. Vince Manuwai and Mo Williams both were hurt in last week’s 17-10 loss to Tennessee
