The NFL season starts in exactly three months and three weeks, but football betting fans can place bets now as betED.com has posted odds for Week 1 matchups.
The Super Bowl matchup is set, with Indianapolis and New Orleans getting two weeks to prepare for their championship showdown in Miami. Oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have already weighed in on their thoughts, installing the Colts as 4-point opening line favorites. That number has since moved to 5.5-points, with Indy getting about 64% of the action according to the BETTING TRENDS page.
It’s Conference Championship weekend and football betting fans will find everything they need – except for beer – at betED.com.
betED.com NFL Betting has full-game, quarter-, half- and prop bets for the AFC and NFC Championship games this Sunday in New Orleans and Indianapolis.
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.
“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.
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.
The NFL Divisional Playoffs are set for Saturday and Sunday and betED.com is all set for the action with NFL Playoff Odds and some great NFL Playoff Props.
It gets going with the Arizona Cardinals battling the New Orleans Saints on Saturday at the Louisiana Superdome (4:30 pm ET, FOX).
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.
As the playoffs begin, those who earned the top two seeds in each conference have a key edge, as they get a bye the first week while watching the others duke it out. Sitting at home this past weekend were the Saints, Vikings, Colts and Chargers. A year ago the favorites to win the 2010 Super Bowl were the Patriots at 6-to-1, the Steelers at 7-to-1, the Colts at 8-to-1 and the NY Giants at 8-to-1.
The NFL Playoffs are here, with the Wild Card round kicking off the action on four fronts this weekend, and betED.com has some great NFL Playoffs Prop Bets available along with game odds.
Well, I said it a million times, and I will say it a million more. Value and money management is more important than wins and losses. As the odds to win the NFL Championship opened, there were some surprises.
In the football betting odds, the Cardinals are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 43.5 points.
Sunday, January 3rd – Land Shark Stadium, Miami – 1:00 PM ET
NFL Point Spread: Pittsburgh -3, O/U: 45.5
Both of these teams are still mathematically alive for the playoffs, but both teams not a lot of help to reach the postseason. The Steelers need a win coupled with two of the following teams to lose; the Jets, the Ravens and the Texans.
Sunday, January 3rd – Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park – 1:00 PM ET
NFL Point Spread: Bills -8
The Colts got in a lot of trouble with their fan base when they pulled their starters last week. Instead of trying for a perfect season, the Indy subs played and were handily defeated by the New York Jets.
Who would have thought that at this point the New Orleans Saints would be the team that would be faltering, while the Carolina Panthers were coming on strong? Yet if you have looked at the respective performances of these teams the last couple of weeks that might be the conclusion you’d draw.
Last minute heroics by Brett Favre simply weren’t enough as the Vikings were stunned during a Monday Night Football betting loss to the Chicago Bears last weekend. With the New York Giants on the docket playing for respect to close out their season, the Vikings will need to snap a two-game losing skid to keep their hopes of a first-round bye alive.
