By Richard Gardner, Bodog Sportsbook Manager – With the NFL lockout lifted and teams scurrying to fill out their rosters, we here at Bodog’s online sportsbook are also busy putting things together – namely, a bunch of NFL player prop bets for the upcoming season.
As the labor situation in the NFL between the league’s owners and players continues to slowly creep toward a new collective bargaining agreement, (we hope) here we go with another conference preview.
With hints of some solid progress in the current negotiations between the NFL owners and its players, the prospect that a resolution is reached in time to keep the start of the regular season on schedule looks much better than it did a couple of months ago. 
That being said, it is time to take a look at the future odds for each team in the NFC chances at winning the conference as provided by BetUS.com
Philadelphia +600, Dallas+700, New York +900, Washington +2500
Michael Vick starts his second season as Philadelphia’s quarterback and should once again flourish with full complement of weapons in WR’s DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin along with RB LeSean McCoy. If the Eagles defense can return form, they should not only be the team to beat in the East but in the conference as well. Dallas will get QB Tony Romo and WR Dez Bryant back, after both had their 2010 season cut short by injury, which should help erase the memory of a dismal season.
New York should once again be in the thick of things in the East behind QB Eli Manning and an offense that finished the season ranked fifth in total yards. Question marks at the quarterback position will plague Washington well into the regular season as will a running game that was ranked 30th in the league last year.
Green Bay +350, Chicago +1200, Minnesota +1600, Detroit +2000
The reigning Super Bowl Champion Packers should waltz to a division title as long as they avoid the trappings of a hangover that sometimes accompanies this achievement.
Chicago will once again look to QB Jay Cutler to lead it back to the top of the division, but last year’s run will be difficult reproduce given some of the other holes on this team.
Minnesota begins life without Brett Favre, and will have to figure out who will be their starter at quarterback as right now the Vikings are counting on unproven rookie Christian Ponder to lead the way.
If Matthew Stafford can stay healthy for a full 16 games, Detroit is in great position to make quantum leap in the standings this season and possibly challenge Green Bay for the division title.
Atlanta +650, New Orleans +700, Tampa Bay +1400, Carolina +6000
The only thing we know for sure about the South is that Carolina will not win the division. The other three teams are closely matched and should take turns beating each other up as the season progresses.
Atlanta remains the most talented team behind QB Matt Ryan, WR Roddy White, and RB Michael Turner, but has yet to learn how to win in the postseason. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
New Orleans still has Drew Brees, but this team could actually take another step backwards after its 2009 Super Bowl run.
Tampa Bay appears to be the up and coming team in the division, but QB Josh Freeman still has to prove he has what it takes to lead this team to the next level.
San Francisco +2000, St. Louis +2000, Seattle +3000, Arizona +3500
This is another division that could be completely up in the air, primarily because of the mediocrity of the teams it contains. San Francisco has a new head coach in Jin Harbaugh, but is still undecided as to who will be its signal caller.
St. Louis has the best prospect for improvement behind second-year QB Sam Bradford, who led this team to more wins last season that it had in the three previous seasons combined.
Seattle won the West with a 7-9 record last year, but has quarterback questions of its own as it appears that 12-year veteran Matt Hasselbeck will not be back with the team.
Arizona’s fall from grace was swift after the retirement of QB Kurt Warner and the loss of WR Anquan Boldin as the Cardinals have yet to find suitable replacements for all the offensive production those two provided.
The current lockout will have a varied impact on every team in the conference, so stick with the longest tenured head coach in the league, Andy Reid to have his Eagles ready to make a long run on possible short notice.

Don’t panic. The sky is not falling on the NFL just because Super Bowl contenders like the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are struggling below .500. It’s only been five weeks since the regular season started. Things will change; at this time last year, the New York Giants were 5-0. They finished the season out of the playoffs at 8-8. The 2009 Green Bay Packers started 2-2 and ended up with a Wild Card berth at 11-5.
With the 2010 NFL regular season set to kick-off in a couple of months, it is time to take a look at each team’s current odds to win their conference as we begin to put the pieces together to try and figure out which two teams will meet next February in Super Bowl XLV.

The weather’s been pretty nasty across much of the United States, but it’ll be warm and toasty for all four of this weekend’s NFL Divisional Round games. Three of them will take place indoors; the fourth is in San Diego, where the football odds are very much on the side of the home team.
There are no holidays when it comes to online football betting. The store is open 24/7, the NFL plays on Christmas Day, and at this time of year, the action is very sharp indeed. You have to be on your toes to keep up with all the changes going on in the NFL. We’ll get you pointed in the right direction with our Week 16 betting preview.
Big chalk is back with a vengeance. After the favorites went 12-4 SU and 10-6 ATS last week, the NFL odds we have posted so far for Week 15 include just three games with a spread under seven points. That will likely change as the board fills up.
It’s true: There’s no place like home for the holidays, and that includes the world of online football betting. Home teams went 10-6 SU and ATS during Week 13 of the NFL season, taking full advantage of banged-up, road-weary opponents. Home dogs were especially tasty at 5-5 SU and 7-3 ATS.
Even colder conditions are in store for the NFL this week, starting Thursday night in the Forest City.
Imagine: 18-0 against 18-0 at the Super Bowl. How could it not be the biggest draw in NFL gambling history?
There’s no denying the greatness of the New Orleans Saints. They humbled the New England Patriots 38-17 on Monday night, cashing in as 1-point home favorites at the close and remaining undefeated at 11-0 (8-3 ATS). Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are also 11-0 SU (7-3-1 ATS) after going into Houston and beating the Texans 35-27 as 3-point faves.
It’s Turkey Time again. Time to take a close look at the NFL betting lines and see what the home teams have to offer. With each passing year, the game of football takes a harder toll on the human body, and it becomes that much more difficult to drag your bones into someone else’s stadium. We’ll lead this week’s betting preview with a look at the latest victims.
