NFL teams will be going through dress rehearsal this weekend as the preseason draws to a close and the start of the regular season creeps up.
With four weeks worth of exhibition games in the books and more than ample opportunity for bettors to examine numbers. Let’s have a look at some of these NFL Lines, provided by SPORTSBETTING.com.
Philadelphia. New York. Carolina. Freaking Arizona. Of those four teams, just one was expected to be here. So the real question before us is whether or not the other three teams are for real. Quite frankly, nobody expected Philadelphia to pull up their sucks and turn their season around, while Arizona’s somewhat miraculous escape from the Wildcard Matchup against Atlanta wasn’t foreseen either.
The Ravens’s defense looks ravenous. The Titans and Kerry Collins look nearly unstoppable in every phase of the game. Pittsburgh has the moxy to repeat as Super Bowl Champions within a three year span. And then there’s the San Diego Chargers and they’re upstart nature. So who’s the big AFC juggernaut you want to be backing heading in to this weekend? The answers may surprise you…
What song will Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band open with during the Super Bowl halftime show?
That’s just one of the crazy proposition bets that you’ll find as the football season draws to a close. The market is fairly quiet right now – on the board at press time is the race for the 2008 Heisman Trophy, plus the usual championship futures odds on the BCS, the Super Bowl and the NFL’s two conferences. As we get closer to the big games, betting interest will soar, and so will the number of wagers available. About half the Super Bowl betting handle (which is estimated at $6-10 billion worldwide, or $100 million in Nevada) will come in the form of prop bets.
