NFL Playoffs: Conference Champions at Stake!

This is it, the final weekend of games before the Super Bowl with the Ravens, Patriots, Giants and 49ers squaring off. The last month we’ve been hearing about playoff seedings, bye weeks and home field advantage. Are all those things really important? Historically it has been during the second round of the playoffs. Teams with the bye have home field advantage and two weeks to prepare, both of which are usually important edges this time of year. However, during the conference championship... 

2011 AFC North Predictions and NFL Futures Betting Odds

You know exactly what you’re going to get from the AFC North each year: Blood and pain. Pittsburgh will again be a Super Bowl threat. Baltimore will again be the able challenger led by a violent defense. Cleveland and Cincinnati? Yeah, they suck just as badly as they have for the past 20 years. In a way it’s comforting, especially as an NFL handicapper. Not much is secure and stable in pro football and in NFL betting. So being able to rely on the physicality of the Steelers and Ravens and the... 

2010 AFC Preview: Teams with New Looks

NFL Preseason has arrived. Time for players, coaches and teams to turn over a new leaf. General managers have hired some new coaches, while coaches have added some offensive and defensive assistants to try and improve things. Here’s a look at some changes to look for with some teams in preseason. Ravens: The Ravens are off a 13-6 SU, 14-5 ATS and 10-8 SU, 9-8-1 ATS seasons under John Harbaugh, which makes him 23-13-1 ATS in the NFL. Expectations are high as a balanced offense adds speedy WRs... 

2010 AFC North NFL Predictions

Baltimore Ravens- I am calling for a step back from the Ravens 13 win season last year to a more modest 11-5 affair this year. Joe Flacco is entering year 3 and off a season where he tossed for 3600 hundred yards. He should get to 4,000 yards this year as the offense is that much better with the arrival of WRs Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth. OC Cam Cameron is turning RB Ray Rice into LT light. The defense is trying to get younger and it shows in a leaky secondary. The defense still ranked number... 

NFL Betting: Teams with Something to Prove

Frustration and failure can prove excellent motivating factors in sports. We see quality teams get beaten badly all the time, then bounce back the next game with a terrific performance with an easy win. This can also take place with teams that are off disappointing seasons. It may seem a distant memory now, but the Bears ended the 2005 season with a blowout loss at the Vikings (34-10) then a home loss to the Panthers in the playoffs, 29-21.  The next season, the Bears were a very motivated team,...
