NFL Furious Football Betting Opinion - Best Receiving Corps
Last week
BetUS.com previewed a plethora of running-back
situations to give you a better idea
of who can protect your sports betting
dollars in this upcoming NFL online betting
season. Now we’ll look at
the primadonas in the league – the
wide receivers. Of course we’ll be
previewing the best pass catchers in the
league on an individual basis, but we’ve
got to kick this set of football betting
previews off properly by taking a look
at the teams.
When you’re grading a wide receiver’s
chances of blossoming, you have to study
the quarterback situation. That’s
why having Steve Smith and Mushin won’t
really matter since Jake Delhomme has fallen
off the map. Your best bets are teams that
have talent at both the quarterback and
receiver position. So here are the Furious
Seven rankings for the NFL receiving corps.
And, as always, feel free to call me at
1-888-512-3887 ext 2305 to tell me why
I’m wrong (which I’m not).
1. New England
Patriots (QB – Tom
Brady, WR- Welker, Moss, Watson)
The Patriots
slaughtered everyone through the air
last year, gaining 295.7 yards per game
through the sky. They’re
still the heavy favorites to win the Superbowl,
despite what happened last year. The loss
of Donte Stallworth will hurt this team,
but Brady is an assassin at quarterback
and Welker and Moss are proven short range
and long range commodities. It remains
to be seen if New England will get huge
-14 points spreads this season, and while
repeating close to 300 yards through the
skies will be difficult, they will average
will over 250 yards per game without a
problem.
2. Cleveland
Browns (QB – Derek
Anderson / WR – Edwards, Stallworth,
Winslow)
The Browns ranked twelfth in the league
last year with 232.9 yards passing per
game, but no team was more terrifying through
the air than Cleveland. They were fearless
last season. Anderson threw for a monstrous
29 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. Sure,
mistakes happened with Anderson in his
first year as a starter, but the Browns
attacked relentlessly through the air helping
them average an astounding 25.1 points
per game.

Braylon Edwards
and Kellen Winslow were a fantastic one-two
punch last season. Now they have Donte
Stallworth helping them stretch the field.
Braylon is an all-purpose receiver, and
his touches will increase now that he
can be used in more effective short yardage
situations. If you thought the Browns’ offense
was solid last year, buckle up for another
stellar season. And make sure your betting
dollars are on the side of Cleveland,
who was a massive profit monster last
year.
3. Indianapolis
Colts (QB – Peyton
Manning / WR – Wayne, Harrison, Clark)
The Colts
were without Harrison for virtually the
entire year last season, and still averaged
252.1 yards per game through the air.
Dallas Clark, their tight-end, racked
up 11 touchdowns in the process and Reggie
emerged as one of the best – if not
the best.

Bet against them
if you want, but the Colts still present
one of the most balanced attacks in the league.
I want Wayne on my fantasy squad so badly.
Everyone that’s had him has just oozed
joy. I want to experience that. It looks
like so much fun and I’m starting to
get jealous.
4. Arizona Cardinals (QB
- *shaking my head* / WR – Fitzgerald
/ Boldin)
I just set the office
on fire asking where to rank the Cardinals.
And the reason I asked is because of their
woeful quarterback situation. If Matt Leinart
is sober enough, the Cardinals could present
a real problem for the league. But Boldin’s
pissed that he’s not getting Fitzgerald
money and the team can’t rely on the
62 year-old Kurt Warner anymore. This team
will only go as far as Leinart goes, but
the receiving corps talent is undeniable
which is why they get the nod over…
5. San Diego
Chargers (QB - *still shaking my head*
/ WR – Chambers, Gates)
They’re here on talent alone, and
I’m projecting that they’re going
to overcome their passing problems from last
year. They averaged only 187.8 passing yards
because Philip Rivers is…well…terrible.
There. I said it.
But Chambers
is the key here. He has some of the best
hands in the game, and combined with Gates
to make the Chargers (finally) a viable
aerial threat. I love how balanced this
offense is overall, especially with Vincent
Jackson jumping over quarterbacks and LDT
as well, but I hate Philip Rivers. When
Chargers fans are down on Rivers, there’s
no reason for anybody else to be up on him.
6. Dallas Cowboys
(QB – Jessica Simpson
/ WR – Owens, Crayton, Witten)
With or without Terry Glenn, this team proved
that they could throw. Witten was one of
the best tight-end threats in the league,
Owens is still the most impossible receivers
to tackle and as long as Crayton justifies
his contract extension, the Boys will be
back at the top of the heap in the NFC without
a worry. That is, as long as Owens can catch
the football.
7. New Orleans
(QB – Drew Brees /
WR – Colston, Bush, Patten)
The Saints
got the seven slot over Seattle, Cincinnati
and Detroit because of Brees. The Saints,
believe it or not (because I sure didn’t),
were third in the NFL last year with 269.6
yards per game through the air. Colston
hauled in 11 touchdowns and Bush, whose
real strength as at receiver, caught 73
balls for 417 yards. New Orleans is a passing
team. They lean on it, and their numbers
prove that they can move the chains by
tossing the pigskins.
The only reason
to have faith in this offense is if Robert
Meacham can emerge as a viable receiving
threat. The 2007 draft pick had a non-existent
rookie season, but if he emerges to be
the threat to compliment Colston that he’s
projected to be, Brees will slice opposing
secondaries to shreds.
