The 2009 NCAA Football schedule kicks off in less than three weeks and betED.com has Week 1 College Football Betting Lines available now for pigskin bettors.
The Oklahoma Sooners, who are at +450 to win the BCS National Championship at betED.com – behind the top pick, the Florida Gators – will open their schedule against the Brigham Young Cougars on Saturday, Sept. 5 (7 pm ET, ESPN).
The AFC East has become a personal playground for the New England Patriots over the course of the last decade, as they have dominated the division. According to nfl oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com, it is expected to remain that way in 2009, as the Patriots boast a regular season wins prop of at least four more wins than the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins.
The Patriots missed the playoffs despite winning 11 games last year, but with a healthy Tom Brady back in the fold, look for Bill Belichick’s crew to return to the postseason. New England won’t repeat its perfect regular season from 2007, but it still is the most talented team among this foursome.
The Steelers swept their three division rivals a year ago en route to their record sixth Super Bowl title. Pittsburgh allowed the fewest points in the NFL, and that dominating defense will allow it to keep the Steel Crew at the top of the heap, despite a mediocre offense. Head coach John Harbaugh has Baltimore moving in the right direction, and young quarterback Joe Flacco proved his mettle by leading the Ravens to two playoff victories on the road. Cincinnati finished an ugly campaign on a high note by winning its final three games, but can Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco play nice together? It won’t matter unless the defense can step it up a notch.
The AFC West Division is expected to be a one-horse race in 2009. Furthermore, that one horse, San Diego, is a thoroughbred. Barring similar injuries woes to a year ago, the Chargers are a bona-fide Super Bowl contender. The rest of the division is a quagmire of sub-mediocrity, with the other three teams in rebuilding mode with new or relatively new Head Coaches.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy of your wagering dollar, as Sportsbook.com is offering regular season wins props for all the league’s 32 teams.

Last year we went out on a limb and predicted that a sleeper team could emerge from the NFC WEST DIVISION and that the Cardinals appeared ready for a breakthrough year.
And like the amazing Karnac, Arizona opened the envelope and answered when the Redbirds came within 30 seconds of winning the Super Bowl.

Here’s another bar bet guaranteed to stack a few extra shot glasses in front of you’re your seat at the bar.
Next to the PAC 10, the SEC and the ACC, name the conference with the 4th best all-time win percentage in bowl games.
It’s not the BIG 10. Not the BIG 12, nor the BIG EAST. It’s the WAC, whose current team members’ .522 percentage in post-season play ranks the conference 4th best in the land.

NCAA football betting is oh so close – close enough that we’ve made up our minds about who we think will win most of the major conferences. It’s thus time to examine conferences like the Mountain West Conference, which gets far less fanfare.
Let’s pick a winner.
Pittsburgh should feel slighted by some NFL betting picks that have selected New England to win the Super Bowl, even though the Steelers are the defending champions. But they seem to be relaxed heading into the preseason, and they’ll head to FedEx Field on Saturday to meet Washington, who have high hopes for the season.
The second week of the National Football League preseason schedule gets going Thursday with a pair of matchups.
Quarterback Tom Brady, who looked impressive tossing two touchdown passes last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, and his New England Patriots host the Cincinnati Bengals in the first tilt Thursday.
While NFL betting players will be focused on preseason action, this week’s golf odds come from Sedgefield Country Club, site of the Wyndham Championship. Carl Pettersson is the defending champion at this event, and this year’s winner will pick up his first career win on the PGA Tour.
