Despite a 10-3 record for week 1 so far, I am not a happy camper this morning, as two of the three games I dropped were big ‘question mark contests’ that I initially thought may go the other way from the outset.
Nevertheless, we produced some solid results that should help NFL betting enthusiasts to break the bank in a big way heading into Week 2.
Game-day: 9/13/2009
Kick-off: 4:15 pm EST
The Redskins invade New York to take on the Giants in a game where the NFL betting no doubt will hot and heavy! The G-Men were one of the top teams in 2008 ATS, but without Plaxico Burress and with nobody stepping it up during the pre-season to take his spot, there is talk that quarterback Eli Manning is going to have a tough time getting the ball downfield.
This time, it counts.
Not that we can’t enjoy spending the money we’ve already made off the NFL preseason. But the people around the water cooler probably weren’t all that keen about starting their office pool until this week – the start of the 2009 regular season.
It is what it is. Those of us who have been working the preseason will have the jump on the rest of the market when the inevitable injuries happen and those anonymous reserve players are pressed into service.

Brett Favre hasn’t officially announced his return to the NFL but when he does will the Minnesota Vikings current +900 NFL odds to win the NFC will be seen as a bargain.
Minnesota is currently listed at +900 odds to win the conference, the same odds the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints are getting. The teams getting better odds are the favorite New York Giants (+400), and the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys (+500 each).
The AFC schedule gets a head start on the NFC when the NFL season officially opens on September 10.

The Arizona Cardinals came within inches of completing one of the most improbable runs in NFL history. While they didn’t win the Super Bowl, the Cardinals’ march through the regular season and playoffs has their NFL futures odds for 2009 a little smaller compared to past years.
The confetti in Steeltown is still settling five months after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ run to the top of the AFC and eventual Super Bowl title.
The Steelers caught a lot of football bettors off guard last season. They were among the favorites to compete in the AFC, but with a wet-behind-the-ears coach and injuries to key players, sportsbook odds were quick to pass over Pittsburgh as a real contender.
The Pittsburgh Steelers showed why they were the grittiest, toughest, best team in the NFL this past season by winning their second Super Bowl in four years and becoming the first team in NFL history to win six Super Bowls.
How did the Steelers do it? By having faith in their second best wide receiver, Santonio Holmes, and by simply hustling and outplaying Arizona’s defense in what almost assuredly will go down as one of the best Super Bowl winning drives in the sports’ history.
