NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Colts Football Gambling
The Colts got off to a slow start in 2008, as Peyton Manning took a whole to warm up after missing all of training camp. Manning eventually got himself going – and wound up winning the MVP award as a result.
NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Jaguars Football Gambling
The Jacksonville Jaguars were sidetracked by injuries to the offensive line in the 2008 season, and still they got off to a 3-3 start. After the bye week, however, they faded, and fast. The Jags lost eight of their last ten games finishing 2-4 in the division and 5-11 overall for the season (4-12 ATS).
Let’s take a look at the numbers:.
NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Broncos Football Gambling
The Denver Broncos looked awesome at the start of the season, as Jay Cutler was making sweet connections with a great wide receiver tandem in Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. By the end of the season, things had deteriorated to the point where owner Pat Bowlen fired Mike Shanahan, who was generally considered the most powerful coach in the NFL. Things haven’t gotten much better since.
The Pittsburgh Steelers showed why they were the grittiest, toughest, best team in the NFL this past season by winning their second Super Bowl in four years and becoming the first team in NFL history to win six Super Bowls.
How did the Steelers do it? By having faith in their second best wide receiver, Santonio Holmes, and by simply hustling and outplaying Arizona’s defense in what almost assuredly will go down as one of the best Super Bowl winning drives in the sports’ history.
The ‘StatFox Super Bowl Scuffle’ aka our prop debate, has become as big of a tradition as parties, commercials, and gambling when it comes to Super Bowl Sunday.
Well, not really, but readers do seem to like it, as it is always one of the most popular pieces of the year.
This year will mark the fourth edition of the Super Bowl Scuffle, in which StatFox representatives Steve Makinen and Doug Upstone debate the wide array of betting options available on Sunday.
The Super Bowl is considered the premier online sportsbook betting event in the United States. Without a doubt, most online NFL betting fans wait in anticipation for the Super Bowl.
This is where football betting fans try to cash in on the big bucks. One of the best things about the Super Bowl is the fact that the BetUS NFL odds makers release more than just one against the spread line. This allows the astute online betting fan to find the best online odds for the biggest game of the season.
At least Cowher did Tomlin a favor by filling up the Championship hand of Pittsburgh with “one for the thumb.” Now Tomlin has a fresh hand to build his own legacy, and it could start as soon as February 1st, when the Steelers and Cardinals throw the gauntlet down in Tampa Bay for Super Bowl XLIII.
Is it really going to be that easy? Anytime the Super Bowl has been an “easy pick”, most betting fans have been burned to the ground. The Patriots in 2008? Done in by their own arrogance and the looming weight of a perfect season. To be honest, the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl for a reason, and to bet against them is a foolish concept at this point, especially without proper research.
The NFL betting season is down to its final three games, meaning handicappers are tuned in and oddsmakers are setting their sharpest lines of the year.
In the AFC Championship, the Pittsburgh Steelers are now 6-point home favorites against the Baltimore Ravens, who have seen the bulk of the action all week. The Ravens have something to prove against the Steelers, who got the best of both matchups this season – albeit by a slim margin in both wins.
I can’t think of an online sportsbook betting fan that really believed both the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals would win in their NFC Divisional Playoff games this past weekend.
Both the Cardinals and Eagles were online betting underdogs in their games but both came through big time.
In the AFC the AFC North Division sent two teams to the AFC Conference Championship game in the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The GMAC Bowl between Tulsa and Ball State is the last chance to bet on college football except for Thursday’s BCS Title game.
Tulsa has moved from 2.5-point underdogs to three-point favorites at Sportsbook.com. The game will be on ESPN at 8 pm ET.
This was almost the fourth matchup of conference champions during the bowl season, but Tulsa and Ball State both lost in their championship games.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are desperate for respect as they face the Texas Longhorns in Monday night’ Fiesta Bowl.
Ohio State has lost each of the last two national championship games. With that said, coach Jim Tressel’s team is happy to be back in the Fiesta Bowl, site of its last bowl win over Notre Dame three years ago.
This year’s opponent is Texas, who has been installed as an eight-point favorite by oddsmakers after an impressive 11-1 regular season. Bettors are backing the Longhorns at a 4-1 ratio.
The Utah Utes put together a tremendous season to make the BCS out of the Mountain West Conference but bettors aren’t buying them as nine-point underdogs against Alabama.
A whopping 76% of the support for Friday night’s Sugar Bowl is backing the Alabama Crimson Tide as nine-point favorites over the Utes, who crash the BCS party for the second time in four seasons.
Liberty Bowl bettors are backing the Over for Thursday’s Liberty Bowl but Sportsbook.com members should take a closer look at the Under for the matchup between East Carolina and Kentucky.
The Liberty Bowl has been an amazingly solid wager for Under bettors and has hit Under the Total in 13 of the last 16 contests. Despite that, the trends show that 78% like the chances of this game going Over the 41-point total.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders out of the Big 12 are getting plenty of support from bettors as they face the Mississippi Rebels in Friday’s Cotton Bowl.
The Red Raiders are 4 ½-point favorites and 80% of bettors are backing them.
Texas Tech flirted with the #1 national ranking this season and its only blemish came at Oklahoma. Still, the Red Raiders are the annual team left outside of the BCS looking in, thanks to a crowded Big 12 South Division field.
