Free NFL Prop Predictions – Week 8
by Jay Horne - 10/30/2009
Michael Crabtree delivered in his much-anticipated debut last week, catching five passes for 56 yards as we expected. That helped our weekly prop bets get out of the negative on the season. Last week, our side action went 2-1 as we got back to 9-9 overall on the year as we look forward to getting above the .500 mark once again this week.
NFL Handicapping: To Early To Call Matt Cassel a Bust?
by T.O. Whenham - 10/30/2009
Before Brett Favre decided that he was going to be a diva again and Jay Cutler started to pout, the biggest news of the offseason was Kansas City's aggressive move to acquire Matt Cassel and pay him enough to make it clear that he was the quarterback of the future.
NFL Betting: Favorites Causing Big Headaches for Bookies
by Larry Fiske - 10/28/2009
Everyone from potato country in upstate Maine to the Marina district in southwest San Diego knows that parity is a thing of the past in the NFL, and betting lines are ever so slowly inching up as good teams continue to paste bad teams week after week. New England made a mockery of the 15.5 points it gave to both Tennessee and Tampa Bay, winning by a combined 94-7 and scoring 80 consecutive points in the process.
The Ferringo NFL Report
by Robert Ferringo - 10/27/2009
After seven weeks of watching the biggest favorites clean up at the window, Vegas had to have bottomed-out last week when favorites went 10-2-1 against the spread with all of the biggest favorites covering easily. Not only did every square with a ticket likely cash in on Sunday, but also the lack of any true upsets outside of Arizona beating the Giants (man, did the books need that one) means that an overwhelming majority of teasers, parlays, and other high-odds tickets were punched.
Monday Night Football Preview: Eagles at Redskins
by Matt Severance - 10/26/2009
Seriously, do you realize every single team the Redskins have played this season had a zero in the win column? Obviously that counts the season opener, but you get my point. Of course the Skins have won only two of those games and have lost the past two, to Carolina and Kansas City.
NFL Betting: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Minnesota Vikings Preview
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 10/23/2009
This seems to be the year of the underappreciated, underdog, unbeaten team. The Denver Broncos have repeatedly found themselves as underdogs this season despite not losing a game. The Indianapolis Colts were underdogs against Arizona and, maybe even worse, were only favored by a field goal against winless Tennessee two weeks ago. Now this week the 6-0 Minnesota Vikings enter Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field as 5.5-point underdogs.
NFL Handicapping: Time For Ravens to Panic?
by T.O. Whenham - 10/23/2009
After three weeks of the current NFL season it wasn't very hard to make the compelling argument that the Baltimore Ravens were the best team in the NFL. They had taken care of business, and they'd looked pretty good doing it. Fast forward just three weeks, though, and now they are at 3-3, riding a three-game losing streak, and down to third in the tough AFC North.
NFL Handicapping: Most Inconsistent Teams
by T.O. Whenham - 10/23/2009
There is nothing more frustrating for bettors than a team that can't decide how good they are. It's easy to bet on a team like the Rams who are consistently terrible, or one like the Saints which keeps winning and covering spreads thanks to solid defense and explosive offense. The teams that really raise the blood pressure as they deplete the bankroll, though, are the ones that win one week, and look brilliant doing it, and then lose the next week while looking like a bad high school team.
NFL Handicapping: How Teams Respond After One-Sided Games
by T.O. Whenham - 10/23/2009
Last week we witnessed one of the most epic beatdowns in the history of the NFL when the Patriots humiliated the Titans, 59-0. The game was ridiculous on absolutely every level, and it got me thinking about what comes next for both teams.
Free NFL Prop Predictions – Week 7
by Jay Horne - 10/22/2009
The Denver Broncos magic streak stayed alive last week, but QB Kyle Orton was just 15 yards shy of putting us back into the profit margin for the year. Our prop selections took another hit, falling one game under .500 on the year, but we look to right the ship this week. One of the big headlines heading into Week 7 will be the much-anticipated debut of San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
NFL Handicapping: Steam Pick of the Week
by Josh Nagel - 10/21/2009
Bears bettors, who evidently believe this is the time to back the erratic club against a similarly unpredictable Bengals club. History, of course, isn't on the side of the Bengals, who looked dreadful in the second half of last Sunday's 28-17 loss to the Houston Texans. However, this is a team that has wins over the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to its credit.
NFL Handicapping: Bye Weeks
by T.O. Whenham - 10/20/2009
A funny thing happened in Week 5 of the 2009 NFL season - teams coming off of their bye weeks had a field day. All four teams coming back to work after a brief vacation won, and three of them covered the spread. The less far-sighted among us might embrace that as a trend and start to bet team coming off a bye with reckless abandon.
High NFL Point Spreads
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 10/16/2009
With the way the NFL was shaking down this season, one had to figure this record would be broken eventually. Front office dysfunction, high turnover rates amongst coaches and plain old bad football moves seemed to be in style this year more than ever. And with that, now there is a group of NFL teams all contending to match the Detroit Lions’ dubious distinction of a year ago.
Top 10 NFL Quarterbacks in 2014
by T.O. Whenham - 10/15/2009
There are an amazing number of good young quarterbacks in the league right now. Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan made a name for themselves last year. Mark Sanchez is off to a fast start this year, and Chad Henne showed him up last week. There are still a few veteran QBs at the top of the heap in the league, but they are being chased by the new guys. Since we still have a couple of days left until the next set of NFL games, I thought that it would be fun to look ahead a bit. Way ahead.
Free NFL Prop Predictions – Week 6
by Jay Horne - 10/15/2009
The New York Jets newly acquired Braylon Edwards kept us out of the “green” last week in our prop bet selections. Edwards had a fair opening night, catching five passes for 64 yards, which was just over what we expected. Our props went 1-2 for Week 5, knocking us back to even on the season. However, rest assured we will get back in the profit column again this week.
NFL Handicapping: Steam Pick of the Week
by Josh Nagel - 10/15/2009
Steam moves in sports betting happen when large amounts of money come in on one side of a game, moving the line for that game collectively at sports books around the world. In this weekly feature we will examine an NFL game where a steam move took place and then give reasons to fade, or go against, the steam move.
NFL Handicapping: What Makes the Bad Teams Bad
by Robert Ferringo - 10/14/2009
Each week it’s kind of amazing to watch football in this country sink to new depths and stumble to new lows. And if you’re not sure what I’m talking about you haven’t watched the Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams, or several other teams take the field this year.
The Ferringo NFL Report
by Robert Ferringo - 10/13/2009
Week 5 is in the books and I just want to echo what was the clear Story of the Week: congrats to Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer on the victory on Sunday and my sincere condolences for the loss of his wife. I had no idea on Thursday when I released my wager on Baltimore (as part of a teaser) that it had occurred.
Monday Night Football Preview - Jets at Dolphins
by Matt Severance - 10/12/2009
Indeed, the Jets’ Mark Sanchez, the early leading candidate for Rookie of the Year, and the Dolphins’ Chad Henne, a second-round pick last year, have combined for just five starts total. So tonight’s game could have some rough spots in the passing game and be rather low scoring. The Jets are three-point favorites on Bodog with the total at just 37.
NFL Futures That Hold Value Through First Quarter
by Larry Fiske - 10/9/2009
In the early fall of 1980 the Oakland Raiders were deader than Gary Coleman's acting career. The team that figured to contend for a Super Bowl berth had lost at home to Kansas City, its record dropping to 2-3, and starting quarterback Dan Pastorini was lost for the season when he suffered a broken leg in that game. Worse still, backup Jim Plunkett had come on for Pastorini and thrown five interceptions, opening the door to KC's 31-17 triumph.
