NFL 2012 Playoffs: AFC Playoff Teams and their Super Bowl Odds
2012-01-05 07:14:00
The online betting crowd is getting geared up for the playoffs and the price per head sports experts are applying Super Bowl winning odds to each playoff team. While the NFC is considered to be the strong favorite to win it all in February, the AFC has some strong teams that will make this year?s Super Bowl fun to watch. Let?s take a look at the AFC playoff teams and compare their Super Bowl odds to their chances of winning the big game. Baltimore Ravens (6 to 1) What makes the Ravens go is its defense and running back Ray Rice. The problem for the Ravens is that if one person on the defense seems off for a game, then the whole defense has a problem functioning. Baltimore still possesses one of the top defenses in all of football, and the Ravens have won a Super Bowl with a much worse offense than what it has now. The pay per head bookie experts seem to think that the Ravens have an excellent chance to win the Super Bowl this year. If Baltimore can hold together and play as a u...

NFL Week 16 Preview: Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens (-13 ½)
2011-12-22 08:07:00
Online Betting Overview Cleveland starting quarterback Colt McCoy looks like he will not be playing in this game. The concussion he sustained against the Steelers in week 15 is still lingering. But that does not mean that all is lost for the Browns in this game. This is the same team that pulled off upset wins over the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots last season. It is true that former defensive coordinator Rob Ryan had a lot to do with those wins, but the point is that this team is capable of that. According to the price per head sports experts, the Browns are about as long of a shot as a team could be to win this game. But you should never count the Cleveland Browns out, and you should always take the points when the Browns play the Ravens. The Ravens have one of the best defensive units in the league. This defense may not be quite as dominating as the 2000 defense that won the Super Bowl, but it is very clo...

NFL Week 14 Preview: Houston Texans @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3)
2011-12-09 07:00:00
Sports Betting Overview The price per head sports experts started counting the Houston Texans out of the playoff race once starting quarterback Matt Schaub went down for the season. But the fans were still holding on to hope that backup Matt Leinart had those special qualities that head coach Gary Kubiak said Leinart had to be a leader and a quarterback. Leinart was also looking forward to the chance to prove to the Arizona Cardinals, and the rest of the league, the he could play quarterback in the NFL. Part of the way through his first regular season game in over two years, Leinart broke his collarbone and rookie third-string quarterback TJ Yates was in. Yates is 2-0 as an NFL quarterback and 1-0 as a starter. Maybe the Texans know something that the betting experts don?t know. No matter how many wins the Cincinnati Bengals get this season, the team will never get respect until it beats the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cincinnati Bengals will also never win th...

NFL Week 12 Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers (-10 ½) @ Kansas City Chiefs
2011-11-24 05:52:00
Sports Betting Overview It is correct to have the Steelers be favorites in this game because, logic would suggest, that the Steelers will win this game and by a significant margin. But the Kansas City Chiefs are so hard to figure out this season that almost anything could happen in this game. With quarterback Matt Cassel injured, the Chiefs have turned to the tuft of hair known as Tyler Palko to try and win games. But Palko is not playing the role of able backup. He is unpredictable, undisciplined and makes really bad decisions in the face of just the slightest pressure. In the week 11 loss to the New England Patriots, Palko throw three interceptions without countering with a single touchdown pass. Will we see rookie Ricky Stanzi this week? Considering how bad Palko is playing and the luck that other 2011 rookie quarterbacks have had, we just may see the rookie in week 12. The price per head sports fans in Pittsburgh have seen the Steelers develop from an unpredictable bunch on...

NFL Week 10 Preview: Tennessee Titans @ Carolina Panthers (-3)
2011-11-10 05:33:00
Sports Betting Overview Cam Newton-mania is reaching a fevered pitch in Carolina, and rightfully so. Newton is a lock to be the offensive rookie of the year, and he gives Carolina an offensive edge that it has never had before. Another thing that Newton offers that the Panthers have never had is a franchise quarterback. Yes, Jake Delhomme took the Panthers to the Super Bowl and had some good years. But most people do not know who Jake Delhomme is. There are a lot of football fans who know who Cam Newton is that have never seen Newton play. Now the Panthers just need to parlay Newton?s abilities into a winning season. The price per head sports fans in Tennessee were prepared to be patient this season and see if veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck could help bring along rookie Jake Locker and make Locker the new face of the franchise. But, because of the weak team that surrounded him in Seattle, a lot of people forgot that Matt Hasselbeck can still play football. With the collaps...

NFL Week 8 Preview: Cleveland Browns @ San Francisco 49ers
2011-10-27 05:37:00
Sports Betting Overview The Cleveland Browns are starting to feel the same growing pains that any improving team would feel. The problem for the Browns is that these pains are real. Running back Peyton Hillis is still unable to play and wide receivers Josh Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi are still recovering from injuries. The wide receivers may play, but they will not be at full speed. Hillis will be out for this game against San Francisco . The price per head sports injuries that the Browns are suffering contributed to the lack of offense in week seven against the Seattle Seahawks. Cleveland could only muster two field goals in that game, and things do not propose to be any better against the San Francisco 49ers . The San Francisco 49ers do not do any single thing particularly well. But the 49ers win games because it does know how to play well in important situations. It was no small feat to hand the Detroit Lions its first loss of the season after destroying the Tampa Bay Bucca...

NFL Week 4 Game Preview: San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles
2011-09-29 06:59:00
Online Betting Overview The Philadelphia Eagles are in huge trouble. Aside from being 1-2 to start the season, the Eagles are incapable of protecting quarterback Michael Vick. Philadelphia and Vick can complain about the officiating all they want. But if the offensive line takes the steps to put a stop to late hits, then those hits are less likely to happen. Many of those ?late hits? are also follow-throughs from defensive linemen making legal and clean plays. The worst hit Vick has sustained this season was from his own offensive lineman who was standing around as Vick was being thrown to the ground. The offensive line and Michael Vick are not working together and it is causing all kinds of problems. Running back LeSean McCoy doesn?t seem to be having any issues with the offensive line as he is averaging more than 100 rushing yards and a touchdown per game. Once the Eagles figure out its problems on offense, then it is time to figure out the issues on defense. The San Fra...

City beat Everton 2:0 and are still unbeaten in England.My thoughtsTop placed Bayern is welcoming the new boys Man City in a clash that should answer some questions in this Group A. The home side is flying on the wings of 9 wins in a row in all competitions while also managed to keep clean sheets in all of them. Bayern beat Villarreal 2:0 in the opening fixture and another win on Tuesday night will leave them at the top of the group. The pressure is clearly on visitors side and that can reflect in open game with lots of chances in front of Joe Hart. Bayern will surely score a goal here ...

NFL 2011-2012 Week 2 Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Minnesota Vikings (-3)
2011-09-15 06:37:00
Online Betting Overview The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were beaten by the developing offensive juggernaut in the Detroit Lions in week one. The Bucs could have given up a lot more points in that game if it had not played better defense in the second half. The fact that the Buccaneers were able to identify the issues it was having defensively with the Lions and adjust at half time says a lot about the development of Tampa. The only problem for the Bucs was their inability to pick up points in the second half. The Detroit defense is aggressive and angry and it seemed to overwhelm the Tampa offensive line at times. The Minnesota defense is equally as aggressive, but the Vikings are more calculating on defense. They think about things a lot more than most other defenses do, and that may be a problem for Tampa. Even with a solid defense on the field, the NFL betting lines are still a little shaky in Minnesota because of the offense. As expected, running back Adrian Peterson was a domin...

NFL 2011 Preseason Week 4 Preview: Houston Texans @ Minnesota Vikings
2011-09-01 06:13:00
Online Betting Overview It is déjà vu all over again for the Houston Texans as many football experts are picking this to be the year that the Texans replace the Indianapolis Colts as the top team in the AFC South. Many of the same experts said the same thing last year and the Texans did not make the playoffs. The Colts are an easy target right now. They just lost pro bowl cornerback Bob Sanders to the Chargers and starting quarterback Peyton Manning may not be able to play in the first week or two of the regular season. But the Texans have a lot of areas to address before it can sit atop the AFC South and call itself a division champion. There are reasons why Houston missed the playoffs last year. Some of those reasons are being addressed in this preseason, but others are being glossed over. The Minnesota Vikings are probably Donovan McNabb?s last chance at being a starting quarterback in the NFL. His reputation took a beating in Washington when head coach Mike Shanahan continuall...

NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Preview: Chicago Bears @ New York Giants
2011-08-18 09:45:00
Online Betting Overview The second week of the preseason is often used to try and get a good look at second and third-string players that have a chance of making an NFL roster. Teams like to make decisions on fringe players in the second week because they can then release the players and give them a chance to sign on somewhere else. The Chicago Bears looked decent in their preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, but the offensive line was suspect. The Bills picked up nine sacks on the Bears? offense and held the first-string offense to no points. It is only preseason, but the Bills had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last year. Yes, Buffalo has made some minor improvements to its defensive unit. But the Bears should be trying out a lot of offensive players in this game. Any NFL betting lines on the New York Giants are split into two halves. The Giants excel in the first half of the regular season, but they fall apart in the second half. Unfortunately, one of the reasons t...

Bukomir's Predictions4 August, 2010Rheinpark StadionVaduz v Hapoel Tel Avivko 19:00 GMTOuch, my bet on Slovan went wild yesterday! It is time to rebuild some pride and that is why I have carefully chosen the game from UEFA Europa League coupon and spent more time on selecting the winning bet.Last gameHapoel won 4:0 in the first leg and it was obvious Vaduz are way out of their league. Now it is time to warm up for the next round and winning always tastes good in Europe.My thoughtsHapoel Tel Aviv had the job done early in the first leg and bookies are suspicious about them playing at full speed tonight. That is why guests received odds around even here - 1/1 or 2.00 in Decimal on bet365 this morning. Considering the big quality gap we have between both squads and the aggressive away style of Hapoel, it looks like a must shot at the visitors.I was even thinking of taking Hapoel to cover the handicap, but after I have lost some money on Slovan yesterday, prefer to stick with the safe...

As both domestic championships are in a very early phase or even not started yet, I won't take the local results in consideration.My thoughtsI know 0:0 can be a tricky first leg result but in that case it means to me Slovan had the job almost done and now just need to perform at their usual best in front of the fans. Apoel have lost their chance at home and it will be a mountain to climb to produce any shocking result here - Slovan have the experience and the home ground on their side.

NBA Betting ? Too Many Issues At Hand For NBA To Avoid Losing Games
2011-07-27 07:27:00
With the National Football League finally lifted, the negative focus on the business of sport shifts entirely to the National Basketball Association and what appears to be a much more difficult overall problem. Unlike the NFL, where there never really seemed to be the imminent threat of losing any regular season games, the NBA is in a position where it seems as though that outcome is a distinct possibility. The labor issues in the NBA will be much harder to reconcile than those that the NFL went through, and the association will not benefit from not having the same stability at its core as the NFL. It appears as though the NBA lockout will surely be an extended one, as there are just too many sports betting bonus issues for the owners and their players to deal with going forward.It has to be acknowledged that even if the NBA lockout does not go on as long as the NFL lockout, it would still compromise the early portion of the schedule. The NFL lockout went 132 days long, and if the N...

Bet On MLB ? Young Guns Slated To Duel On Tuesday
2011-06-28 07:17:00
Horse betting online players are sometimes skeptical about taking a young thoroughbred, but there are a lot of talented young pitchers in the major leagues that should earn your respect, and two of them will be on the mound on Tuesday in Seattle as the Mariners host Atlanta in the second of a three-game series.Braves Mariners Betting ? Tuesday, 10:10 PM ETTommy Hanson (8-4, 2.48) has been off since June 12th because of shoulder trouble, but his last outing was a brilliant one in a 4-1 victory in Houston, allowing a run on three hits over seven innings. He also walked two batters while striking out a career-high 14, but now those who bet on MLB baseball odds have to wonder how his arm is going to hold up. This is Hanson?s third full season in the majors, and he made the jump from 127.2 innings in 2009 to 202.2 innings in 2010, so that has to be watched in the coming weeks. The 24-year-old has never faced the Mariners before, but he is 4-2 in seven starts on the road with a 2.57 ERA.M...

Bet On MLB ? Rays, Brewers Square Off In Milwaukee
2011-06-21 09:10:00
If you bet on MLB odds, you?re used to seeing teams like Boston, the New York Yankees, Philadelphia and even St. Louis near the top of the list, but if you look to the second tier, you?ll probably find Milwaukee and Tampa Bay leading the way in that group. The two meet for the second of a three-game set at Miller Park on Tuesday.Rays Brewers Betting ? Tuesday, 8:10 PM ETJeremy Hellickson (7-5, 3.09) has been excellent in his first full year in the big leagues, even though a 3-0 loss against Boston at home was his second straight loss. He gave up three runs on four hits, along with two strikeouts and a pair of walks, and the damage was done on a three-run homer by Kevin Youkilis, which you may have seen while watching MLB highlights. Overall, it was a solid performance for the youngster, who bounced back from a five-run outing in Baltimore, but now he is facing another dangerous lineup in Milwaukee. The 24-year-old righty has never faced the Brewers before, but he is 5-2 in eight sta...

MLB Betting ? Red-Hot Hamels Welcomes Marlins To Philadelphia
2011-06-14 07:55:00
MLB betting players wondered how the Philadelphia starting rotation was going to gel this season, and predictably, they?ve been excellent, but Cole Hamels has really pitched well and has been the second-best hurler in the rotation behind reigning Cy Young winner Roy Halladay. Hamels will look to tie Halladay for the National League lead in wins when the Phillies host Florida on Tuesday.Marlins Phillies Betting ? Tuesday, 7:05 PM ETChris Volstad (2-6, 5.51) has lost five straight decisions after a 3-2 loss at home against Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits over 6.2 innings, striking out seven and walking two along the way. Volstad may want to stay away from online poker games as he hasn?t been lucky in his most recent starts when it comes to run support: In all five of his losses, the Marlins have scored four runs or less for Volstad, and that puts a lot of pressure on the youngster. The 24-year-old righthander is 2-3 in 10 starts against the Phillies, posting an ERA of 4.45, b...

Those betting on Belmont odds realize that it may take a while for their horse to get going, but they can?t give up hope as the Belmont States is the longest of the Triple Crown races at 1.5 miles. Some were starting to pile off the Milwaukee Brewers? bandwagon after a slow start, but it?s getting bigger as the team has surged to second in the National League Central as they prepare to welcome the New York Mets to town on Tuesday.Mets Brewers Betting ? Tuesday, 8:10 PM ETChris Capuano (3-6, 5.19) was hammered for five runs on eight hits over six innings of a 9-3 loss at home against Pittsburgh, and the worst part is that he was doing just fine until the sixth, when he allowed all five runs. It was the second time in three starts that Capuano had allowed five or more runs, and he is now 1-5 in his last seven starts. However, MLB baseball betting players know that pitchers can?t do it all on their own, and in that seven-start span, the Mets have scored more than three runs just twice,...

They?ll try again on Tuesday in the nation?s capital when the Phillies are in town for the second of a three-game series.Phillies Nationals Betting ? Tuesday, 7:05 PM ETLee (4-4, 3.50) has now won two straight starts after a 10-4 victory at home over Cincinnati, and he didn?t just do with his arm; he had a pair of hits and three RBIs on the day to help his own cause, and if he can do that every few starts, the Phillies will see their baseball betting odds rise even more. He didn?t have his best stuff on the mound, allowing four runs on 10 hits over eight innings, while striking out eight, but Lee finally got some run support and when he gets that, he?s pretty tough to beat.

MLB baseball betting players who know better probably didn?t panic when Boston got off to a slow start to the 2011 season, as they had a few new players who were getting used to their new teammates, and a new city. The Red Sox have won eight of their last 10 heading into Monday?s series opener in Cleveland, and they?ll have their ace on the hill on Tuesday.Red Sox Indians Betting ? 7:05 PM ETJosh Beckett (3-1, 1.73) allowed his first run in four starts and left after six innings because of a pulled muscle in his neck, earning a no-decision in a 4-3 win over Detroit, but he says he?s fine and should be ready to go on Tuesday. Even though NHL hockey news is garnering a lot of attention in Boston with the Bruins still in the playoffs, the Red Sox rule the city and a healthy Beckett has been key to their resurgence. Beckett is 3-5 in eight starts against the Indians in his career, posting a 5.55 ERA, and he was on the wrong end of a 3-1 loss in Cleveland on April 5th, his only loss of t...

It doesn?t get easier for the Yankees as they head out on the road to face Tampa Bay, who are looking to expand their lead in the American League East.Yankees Rays Betting ? Tuesday, 6:40 PM ETIvan Nova (3-3, 4.70) is coming off the worst outing of his young career, although to be fair, the Yankees didn?t do him any favors with a couple of errors in an 11-5 loss at home against Kansas City. Nova was knocked for eight runs (four earned) on 10 hits over three innings, along with two strikeouts and two walks, and he was taken deep twice as well. Those who bet on MLB baseball know that the Yankees are looking for help in their starting rotation, and this will be a test to see how Nova bounces back from a bad performance.

The Cardinals have now lost six of Carpenter?s seven starts, and if you bet on MLB odds, you know St. Louis isn?t going to last long if this continues, especially with Adam Wainwright on the disabled list for the next year.

You still have some time to bet on the Kentucky Derby, so pass the time with some MLB betting as the season is starting to heat up.

EURO 2008: Holland vs Italy
2008-06-09 12:25:00
It is time to register the first draw at EURO 2008 as two football giants meet each other tonight hoping to stay in contention after this one and find an easy exit of the group without unnecessary confrontation. Bet365 fairly prices the draw at 2/1 (3.00) and I will go for it as having no idea how one of the teams will manage to score one more.Holland have the talent, the players and the experience to bring the Euro pean title back after a long period of time. The bad news are that they have opponents such as France and the world champion Italy early in the group and this will make team's life a nightmare if they don't prove to be competitive to those giants. And sometimes it can be a tough task to complete, specially when you miss for the opening of this group action players such as Robben, Babel, Melchiot and van Persie. On the other hand Italy demonstrated they are a different team now leaving lots of space for the opponent and a chance for playing some football but not a boring...

EURO 2008: Romania vs France
2008-06-08 17:20:00
Tough decisions should be made on Monday when it comes to the "group of death" clashes. In the first fixture of that day Romania will face France looking for a miracle that will boost their hopes for living another stage at that tournament. The team made it to the finals in the company of Holland and Bulgaria but did not convinced us they really deserve the place. Romania have a couple of high quality players such as Chivu and Mutu who will lead the team on the pitch but are they enough to believe our money are safe on Romania, specially when players as Henry and Anelka are on the opposite side? I don't think so and my advice is to take France in the opening of this group action as more experienced, balanced in every line and dangerous up front team. Bet365 gives 1.83 for that choice and it seems fair to me. Alternatively you can pick bet-at-home as your host for that game where you can still find France at 1.80.Take France, because of the:- robust defense- genius players as Benzem...
