NFL Betting – Pro Bowl Preview
AFC @ NFC
Bodog Odds (Bodog Reviews): AFC -3
Sports betting handicappers are faced with a novel situation this upcoming Sunday in Miami, Fla. Oddsmakers, for the past 30 years, have dealt with a Pro Bowl game played after the Super Bowl in Hawaii. Players on Super Bowl teams participated in the game, and players on the losing teams in the conference championship games were able to get more rest in advance of professional football’s all-star game.
Sunday NFL Betting – Colts Will Outlast Jets
The New York Jets are a road underdog for a third consecutive week and while most pundits are smelling a blowout in this contest, the reality is that the Jets don’t really get blown out all that often.
Sunday NFL Betting – Favre Will Fall Short Once Again
Brett Favre had a sour taste in his mouth when the lasting memory of his decorated NFL career was an interception that handed the New York Giants the NFC Championship back in 2007. Now he’ll have a chance to make a new lasting memory as he’s back in the Championship game – this time with the Minnesota Vikings.
NFC Championship Game – Vikings vs. Saints
All right, it’s time to pick some nits and make the case against the Minnesota Vikings going to the Super Bowl in a few weeks. And it’s has nothing to do with any deal with the devil that the old-man quarterback might have made. It goes like this:
AFC Championship Game – Jets vs. Colts
The Colts are the teacher who in the first few months of school lets the students do whatever they want. The kids then take complete control of the class, and in November when the teacher realizes (s)he needs to put the hammer down, it’s damn near impossible.
NFL Conference Playoff Preview 2010
After 17 weeks of regular season action and two weeks of exciting wild card a divisional playoffs, the moment has finally arrived – it’s time to kick off the 2010 conference playoffs. It’s all come down this, four of the leagues best teams will do battle to earn their spot in this years Super Bowl. Here is a short rundown on each game along with my predictions to help you make your wagers winners.
AFC Championship Preview
Jet at Colts – who would have thought it. This is a most unlikely matchup indeed. Hell, if the Colts didn’t rest their players in Week 16, the Jets wouldn’t have even made the playoffs. Still, with stellar Defensive efforts and a mistake-free Offensive showings, the Jets re in the AFC Championship game to make a run at the mighty Indianapolis Colts.
New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts – Rematch of Week 16
Back in 2007 the Giants and Patriots squared off in one of the greatest games in Week 17 of all time. The Patriots walked out with a perfect regular season, but the Giants walked out with a blueprint on how to defeat one of the best teams the league had ever seen.
NFL betting – NFC Championship – Vikings vs Saints Preview & Pick
As much as the Colts have to take the Jets seriously, I’m sure we can all agree that the Vikings/Saints game is the “heavyweight” battle of the weekend. Two great quarterbacks, two great offenses, two aggressive defenses, two teams comfortable playing indoors…sounds like fun.
NFL Conference Championships- Betting Preview
The NFL divisional round of the playoffs went pretty much the same way as the wildcard round, three blowouts and once close finish. The main difference with this round is that three out of four favorites ; New Orleans, Indianapolis , and Minnesota won both straight up and against the spread, while one underdog; New York pulled off the upset both ATS and straight up.
NFL betting – AFC Championship – Jets vs Colts Preview & Pick
First, we saw the Colts and Bengals remaining on the New York Jets’ regular-season schedule and figured they were finished. Then, after the Colts and Bengals rested their starters, the Jets were handed a playoff berth. So we wrote them off against Cincinnati in the Wildcard game and the Jets proved us wrong. Surely, though, their Cinderella run would end in San Diego. Nope.
NFC Championship Preview
Wow, what a matchup, the type that Football fans could only dream of. The Number one and two seeds in the NFC square off in a game that has been anticipated since September. Two of the best Offenses go head to head and two of the NFL’s best Defenses will try to outdo each other to see who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. It is very possible that the team that has the ball last in the game will win.
NFC Divisional Playoff Betting – Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings
“You live by the gunslinger, then you die by the gunslinger.”
That’s the adage that most people point to as an excuse for when guys like Ben Roethlisberger and Jay Cutler fall short. Yet no quarterback in the modern era has epitomized that trait more than Brett Favre. At 12-4 SU, the Vikings finished with the second-best record in the NFC.
NFL Playoff Upset Alert – New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers
Back in 2005 the Jets hoofed the Chargers playoff hopes in the groin by toppling them 20-17 in the wild card round of the playoffs. For a team that usually finds itself in the post season, the Chargers haven’t found success that often and that is a trend that I see continuing when they face the Jets on Sunday. History will repeat itself this weekend.
Saturday NFL Betting – Cardinals Will Give Saints A Run
The New Orleans Saints may have started the season with 13 straight wins, but as the saying goes, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. The Saints finished their regular season with three straight losses and headed into their bye week limping.
