NFL Receiving Yards Leader Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 8/20/2009
There are a whole lot of extremely good receivers in the league right now. Just think about it - there are more jaw-dropping talents now than there has been in a long time. All you have to do to confirm that is to look at the futures odds for receiving yards. Every time I thought I knew who was the clear choice I saw someone else who seems poised to have a big year. Here's a look at that futures pool, with odds from Bodog:
2009-10 St. Louis Rams Predictions
by Jay Horne - 8/20/2009
The St. Louis Rams expected to see improvements last year after capturing only three victories in 2007. However, the Rams were even worse last season and were unable to produce any success on either side of the football. St. Louis finished the season at 2-14 without any signs of progress. It could be legitimately argued that the winless Detroit Lions have more reasons to look forward to 2009 as opposed to the Rams.
2009-10 Ole Miss Rebels Football Predictions
by Josh Nagel - 8/20/2009
It appears Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt is bound to leave parallel legacies behind whenever he leaves college football. The first will be as one of the most successful and underrated coaches of his generation; the second will be of a coach who made every former employer regret letting him get away.
Delaware Sports Betting Locations and Limits
by T.O. Whenham - 8/19/2009
Pretty much everyone involved in any way with the sports betting business has been playing close attention to what has been going on in Delaware. A 1992 federal law banned betting on sports across the country, but four states were grandfathered in because of previously established activities - Nevada obviously, along with Delaware, Montana, and Oregon.
NFL Passing Yards Leader Betting Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 8/19/2009
This is a tough time of year to be an NFL fan. The training camps and preseason play has raised our hunger for football to a whole new level, but the early action just isn't good enough to satisfy that hunger. That's what futures odds are for - they can distract you until the season begins. One of the more interesting futures betting pools is the one for total gross passing yards.
2009-10 Virginia Tech Hokies Football Predictions
by Josh Nagel - 8/19/2009
One of the safest football predictions you can make every season in college football is that the Virginia Tech Hokies will contend for the ACC title and compete in a BCS bowl game. Under venerable coach Frank Beamer, Tech’s patented “Beamer Ball” includes a swarming defense and special-teams units that are just as capable of scoring points as the Tech offense.
Football Betting: Analyzing Line Movement
by Allen Eastman - 8/18/2009
Early in the week bettors only have two options: think about the wagers that they won or lost from the previous weekend or try to plan out their strategy for winning the upcoming weekend. As Tom Petty sang, “The Waiting Is The Hardest Part”.
NFL Handicapping: Quarterback Competitions
by T.O. Whenham - 8/18/2009
As with every NFL Preseason this year's version is marked by serious quarterback competitions going on in several cities. Before today I counted five teams that had wide-open competitions for their starting job (I don't put Detroit on that list because the ascension of Matthew Stafford is inevitable and will probably happen sooner rather than later, and everyone from the team on out seems to see it that way), but the re-emergence of Brett Favre has certainly taken Minnesota off the list.
2009-10 LSU Tigers Football Predictions
by Josh Nagel - 8/18/2009
You get the impression LSU coach Les Miles is the type of guy who, if he had a hot night at the craps table, would simply let his winnings ride with each roll of the dice. He coaches football with this mentality, and the approach has earned the Tigers a national title and Miles legendary status in his short time in Baton Rouge.
Doc’s Sports Big Ten Football Preview
by Doc - 8/16/2009
The run for the Big Ten title is as wide open as I have seen it in several years. I can possibly see five teams that have a legitimate chance to win and having two or three teams tied atop the standings certainly would not surprise me. I give the edge to Michigan State, as they return 15 starters and have a very favorable schedule that includes not playing Ohio State.
2009-10 Miami Dolphins Predictions
by Justin Johnson - 8/16/2009
Behind the cotton candy arm of Chad Pennington, who won NFL Comeback Player of the Year for the second time in four years, the Dolphins were 10th in the league in passing yards and No. 8 in the league in yard per play. Pennington may be the perfect player to lead this risk conscious offense.
2009-10 Green Bay Packers Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/15/2009
I would argue that the Green Bay Packers were the most misleading 6-10 team in the NFL last season. OK, they were the only 6-10 team, but by that I mean the Packers could have easily been above .500 in 2008 – so consider that when making your NFL predictions for 2009.
2009-10 Washington Redskins Predictions
by Jay Horne - 8/15/2009
The Washington Redskins got off to a solid start in 2008, holding a 6-2 record after the halfway point. The majority of NFL predictions forecasted the Redskins to contend in the NFC East and that appeared to be the case as they trailed the Giants by one game in the division. However, Jim Zorn’s new offense was stopped in its tracks and the Redskins dropped six of their last eight games, falling out of playoff contention in the second half of the season.
2009-10 Oklahoma Sooners Football Predictions
by Josh Nagel - 8/15/2009
There are some critics who have suggested that Bob Stoops’ nickname “Big Game Bob” is now somewhat of a misnomer for the Oklahoma football coach. This might be a tad unfair when you consider that Stoops continues to win more than his share of big games for the Sooners, he’s just been unfortunate enough to come up short in the biggest of them all a couple of times.
NASCAR: Carfax 400 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 8/14/2009
By virtue of winning his third race of the season at Watkins Glen last week all Tony Stewart needs to do is get in his car and start his engine at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday at 1 p.m. for the Carfax 400 and Smoke is guaranteed a spot in the Chase, which means there are 11 Chase spots up for grabs with four races to go before the points reset.
2009-10 New York Giants Predictions
by Jay Horne - 8/13/2009
The New York Giants had everything going wonderfully through the majority of 2008. After riding a big wave of momentum from a stunning upset in Super Bowl XLIII, the defending champions backed up their impressive season by jumping out to a dominating 11-1 start.
2009-10 Chicago Bears Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/13/2009
The Chicago Bears made the biggest news of this NFL offseason by acquiring the franchise quarterback this team has been looking for since, oh, Sid Luckman in the 1940s (sorry, Jim McMahon, you didn’t last long enough). Of course I’m speaking of the trade with Denver for Pro Bowler Jay Cutler.
2009-10 Philadelphia Eagles Predictions
by Jay Horne - 8/13/2009
The Philadelphia Eagles faced some big challenges last season. After struggling for most of the year offensively, frustration reached its peak in Week 12 when quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched due to multiple interceptions as the Eagles were sitting at a record of 5-5-1.
2009-10 Buffalo Bills Predictions
by Justin Johnson - 8/12/2009
For a team that finished below the median of the league in every offensive category except rushing yards per game (115.13-ypg, good for 14th) the Bills may have made a deal with the Devil to improve their offense when they signed the sideshow that is Terrell Owens. Owens, despite his constant turmoil, has been productive at every stop in his career and could provide a solid redzone weapon alongside WR Lee Evans
2009-10 Pac-10 Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 8/11/2009
A 5-0 bowl season was able to mask what was an otherwise mediocre season for the Pac-10 conference in 2008. The Pac-10 was the Mountain West’s bitch after going 1-6 against it, and besides USC’s blowout over Ohio State there were multiple nonconference embarrassments. Personally, I thought the conference was way down and ready to hit a slide.
