The NFL playoffs are on the horizon, and both New York teams are trying to bounce back from losses that could potentially cripple their chances at reaching the postseason. This week’s meeting at MetLife stadium is a must-win for each of these teams.

Giants Jets Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Giants (7-7) were thumped 23-10 at home by Washington and if you’re a person that uses price per head services, you may be pushing the Giants out of the picture after five losses in six weeks. The defense hasn’t been playing well outside of Jason Pierre-Paul, and Eli Manning has taken care of the football better than he showed against the Redskins. It appears that the Giants may have overlooked the Redskins.

The Jets (8-6) were hammered 45-19 in Philadelphia as they committed half of the game’s eight turnovers, and they were down 28-0 halfway through the second quarter. Mark Sanchez has taken a step backward in his NFL development and that allows teams to stop the Jets’ running game. The Jets had won three in a row heading into Philly, but they looked out of sorts on Sunday.

NFL betting lines have the Jets as a 3-point favorite at “home” in the stadium they share with the Giants, who have won both meetings with the Jets since 2003. Neither defense played well on Sunday, and this could be a high-scoring affair. Lean towards Manning and the Giants in your sports betting online picks.

Even bass fishing fans tend to clear their schedules for Sunday afternoon so they can get in on some NFL action, and as we head into the fourth week of the regular season, things are starting to heat up. Here are three games to check out from the NFC.

Lions Cowboys Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Cowboys are 1.5-point favorites at home after a tough win over Washington, but they’re playing on a short week and running into a red-hot Detroit team that came back from 20 points down to win in Minnesota. Detroit has lost three of their last four in Dallas, but this Detroit team is different and the Cowboys are banged up.

Sports Betting Pick: Detroit +1.5

Panthers Bears Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Bears are 6-point favorites at home according to NFL betting lines, and while the numbers don’t look good for their defense, Chicago has played Atlanta, Green Bay and New Orleans. The Panthers are coming off their first win, but Cam Newton is still a rookie quarterback and prone to making mistakes.

Sports Betting Pick: Chicago -6.5

49ers Eagles Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

This game is off the board right now as Philadelphia is awaiting the status of Michael Vick, who suffered a hand injury against the New York Giants and may miss this game. The 49ers won an ugly game against Cincinnati, but their offense isn’t good enough to get them a win this week.

Sports Betting Pick: Philadelphia

Even bass fishing guides will be tuned into the third week of the NFL, and in particular, there are a slew of solid matchups in the NFC to check out. Here are the best of the bunch.

Lions Vikings Odds - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Lions are 3.5-point favorites on the road in Minnesota, where they haven’t won since 1997 and only once in the last six games have Detroit covered the spread at the Metrodome. But this week, they’ll snap that skid as the Detroit offense looks scary good. The Vikings gave away a win against Tampa Bay and that could have taken the win out of their sails.

Online Betting Pick: Detroit -3.5

Falcons Buccaneers Odds - Sunday, 4:15 PM ET

The line for Atlanta’s trip to Tampa Bay hasn’t come out yet, but they’re 3-2 SU and ATS in their last five trips to Raymond James Stadium. Those who bet football online watched the Bucs escape Minnesota with a victory, while the Falcons are coming off a huge win over Philadelphia.

Online Betting Pick: Atlanta

Packers Bears Odds - Sunday, 4:15 PM ET

In this rematch of last year’s NFC title game, Green Bay is a 3.5-point favorite in Chicago, where they are 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS, but they claimed the “W” on both accounts in the postseason. The Bears were manhandled in New Orleans, but they’ll bounce back against the Packers, particularly on defense.

Online Betting Pick: Chicago -3.5
