Steelers NFL Betting Preview

NFL Sneak Peak – The Pittsburgh Steelers

NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Steelers Football Gambling

The Pittsburgh Steelers were strong from the beginning of the 2008 campaign, and hit their peak coming down the stretch, as they allowed just 83 points in their last seven regular season games. It helps having the league’s #1 defense, though that’s not to say the offense as limited as, say, the Baltimore Ravens, whom they beat in the AFC title game.

NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Jaguars Football Gambling

The Jacksonville Jaguars were sidetracked by injuries to the offensive line in the 2008 season, and still they got off to a 3-3 start. After the bye week, however, they faded, and fast.

NFL Football Futures Betting – 2009 NFL PreSeason Analysis – Broncos Football Gambling

The Denver Broncos looked awesome at the start of the season, as Jay Cutler was making sweet connections with a great wide receiver tandem in Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. By the end of the season, things had deteriorated to the point where owner Pat Bowlen fired Mike Shanahan, who was generally considered the most powerful coach in the NFL. Things haven’t gotten much better since.
