Football Betting Picks

One of the biggest questions in betting football online is how important is coaching when it comes to the NFL? When fans decide to bet on NFL football betting lines, many disagree on the important of coaching. Some fans think that coaching is not important at all, and that talent of the athletes is all that matters, whereas others think that coaching is of the utmost importance.

The New Orleans Saints have had quite the tumultuous offseason.

This season if you bet football online that question will finally be answered. All you will have to do is watch one team, the New Orleans Saints. Sean Payton was recently suspended this season for his involvement in the “bounty“ scandal, so the Saints will be without him for the 2012 season. Under Sean Payton the Saints have had 37 wins, and at least 11 in each season. Payton and the Saints have been near the top of the league each of those seasons. This season the Saints will have the same on field product as they had last year, the question is will they reach 11 wins again? I cannot wait as the importance of coaching has always been one of the most interesting debates in football betting NFL or college. The football betting odds seem stacked against the Saints this season which points towards coaching being very important. The Saints might not be one of the most popular football betting picks this season, but they will be one of the most intriguing teams to keep an eye on!

The Denver Broncos were one of the most popular football betting picks when it came to NFL betting online last year. The reason why Denver was so popular when it came to pro football betting lines last season was due to the late-game heroics and incredible comebacks from Tim Tebow. Those comebacks created one of the biggest media crazes I have ever seen in football betting online and the craze was coined “Tebow-Mania”. No matter what sports network you watched, Tebow and the Broncos were being discussed every week whether they won or lost, there was no more polarizing subject in the NFL than Tim Tebow.

At first glance, it looks like the attention the Broncos got last year from Tebow mania will be gone with him going to the Jets. However, all eyes in the sports world will remain on the Broncos this upcoming season. While Tebow was the story of 2011, the story of professional football betting online in 2012 will be Peyton Manning. By signing Manning this week the Broncos immediately ensured that they will be one of the teams to watch when betting football online. After missing all of last season due to injury, there are clearly some question marks regarding the QB, however, when healthy there is no questioning that Peyton is one of the most dominant players that online American football betting has ever seen. Now that Manning has signed on with the Broncos, expect many other free agents to attempt to sign in Denver, and be part of something special.

If you bet on NFL football and pay attention to the draft or the combine every year, then you are used to players putting up incredible number and wowing scouts. The players who tend to put up the most impressive numbers usually play the skill positions, like Wide Receiver, Running Back or Defensive Back. But this year the player creating the biggest stir in the online sports betting world at the combine is a Defensive Tackle.

Dontari Poe the defensive tackle who dominated college football betting lines all year, as no offensive line was able to handle him; has been turning a lot of heads at the combine. He put up 44 reps on the bench-press proving he was the strongest prospect in the draft, but that was to be expected considering he is almost 350 pounds! What truly sent shockwaves throughout the pro football betting community was the speed he showed. Poe ran an unofficial 4.87 40 yard dash, which is downright unheard of for a DT of his size. When you combine the size, speed, and power that he showed this week at the combine it becomes evident that he is going to be a beast when it comes to professional football betting! Head to your online football betting services, and check out the football betting odds on Poe to be the defensive rookie of the year, as with his skillset he is a great darkhorse candidate.

Placing bets on the Superbowl is very different than placing a regular bet on NFL football, in large part due to the fact that proposition bets are incredibly popular during the big game. Proposition bets add to the possibilities of placing American football bets. Instead of betting on which team will win the game, you could bet on which QB will throw for more yards, or other miscellaneous aspects of the game.

Some proposition bets allow you to bet on things that are much less likely to happen than most NFL football betting lines and because of that pay out at much higher amounts if they do win.

One particular bettor took advantage of one of those very unlikely prop bets during the SuperBowl as he used his football betting services to place a wager on the 1^st score of the game being a New York Giants safety. The football betting odds on that wager coming through were 75:1, so the bettor who took a chance and placed a 200$ wager on that safety won 15000$! Although these type of bets aren’t the surest type of bet on football games, when they do pay off, they pay off handsomely! So why not take a chance sometimes, you never know when you might get lucky! Because while most people watching the game were confused when the safety was called, we know at least 1 person who hit the jackpot at that exact moment, and was jumping for joy.

With the conclusion of the LSU/Alabama game there will be no more college football betting lines to bet on. Due to that all of our picks for the rest of the football betting season will be pro football betting line’s (NFL).

NO – 3 @ SF: Both teams finished 13-3. SF dominated teams all season due to the best Run D in the NFL. Problem is that the Saints don’t scare teams with a running game, it is the lethal pass attack led by Drew Brees that strikes fear into opponents. NO will show why they are the hottest team in the NFL & win easy…NO -3

NE -13.5 vs DEN: Tim Tebow hasn’t been pretty but he has won games. He will be in tough as a heavy underdog vs the Patriots. Brady will be too much, and Patriots will win. But Denver could keep it close. In the previous matchup they lost by 18 but had 3 fumbles, without turnovers…they cover…DEN +13.5

BAL -7.5 vs Hou:These 2 teams couldn’t be more evenly matched statistically. BAL has the advantage due to experience & home-field adv. This game will come down to which team can better establish the run, so I will take Foster & Tate over Rice…HOU +7.5

GB -7.5 vs NYG: NYG looked great last week, but that wasn’t against GB. There is a reason that GB went 1 game away from perfection. Aaron Rodgers is just too good to stop, and Eli will make mistakes against the most opportunistic defense in the NFL…GB -7.5

Those are our 4 picks for the professional football betting online this week. When it comes to online sports betting, nothing is bigger than online NFL football betting odds during the playoffs! So enjoy the games, and good luck with your wagers!

In online sports betting, no matter which sport you like to bet on, every single week there are a few lines that stand out! This week both picks I make will be NFL point spread’s since there will be no more college football betting line’s until bowl season officially starts. With only 3 weeks left in the NFL season, the lines start to stand out more each and every week.

NE -6 @ DEN: NE -6

Tim Tebow has become the darling of the football lines betting world, after posting 7 wins in 8 games. However, that win streak by the Broncos has been in large part due to the stellar play of the D. The problem is the Broncos have yet to play a high-powered offensive attack like the Patriots, and I highly doubt they will be able to stop them. Tebow has shown some late-game heroics in the past few weeks, however, he will not be making a comeback this week as the Patriots will score early and often. Brady is just too much…Patriots -6

PIT -2.5 @ SF: PIT -2.5

A matchup of 2 teams that have ranked in the top teams in the league due to their incredible defenses. Do not expect a lot of points in this matchup. But with Patrick Willis banged up, and the 49ers already securing their division, the Steelers just flat out have more to play for than them. Both D’s are great, but I believe that Big Ben and the Steelers offense outclass the 49er’s. After San Fran lost to the Cardinals last week, it will be tough to beat a much better Steelers unit…PIT -2.5

Those are my football betting picks for the week, so combine those with whatever football betting strategies you currently use, and head to your favorite NFL football betting services and make your picks for week 15!

Every week I select 2 games, where I pick my favorite betting lines NFL or college of the week. This week I have gotten back to picking one college football betting line and one NFL. If you bet on football games you know that there are always a few lines that stand out each week.

MIA -2 vs BUF: BUFFALO +2

When it comes to NFL betting online in week 11, this game stands out to me the most. BUF has struggled the past 2 weeks, while MIA has turned it around and won 2 in a row. Fitzpatrick has been completely shut down by the Jets and Cowboys, however, he will have a bounce back week vs MIA’s 25^th ranked secondary. Add that to the fact that F. Jackson is in the Bills backfield, and I like the Bills to bounce back. MIA has been much better, Moore is starting to click with his offensive weapons, but BUF will be too much. When I bet on NFL football, I like to find lines that I think don’t give a team enough credit, and this week I think that is the Bills. …BUF +2

WIS -14 @ ILL: WISCONSIN -14

Wisconsin has been one of the nation’s top teams all season long. Last week Illinois lost by 17 to Michigan. Denard Robinson is a great running QB, however, he is nowhere near as complete a QB as Russell Wilson is. Russell Wilson is one of the top QB’s in the country, and Montee Ball is one of the top RB’s as well and a legitimate Heisman candidate (27 TD’s in 10 games). Those 2 will simply be too much for Illinois to keep up with. If they had a problem containing Michigan’s offense, then they have no chance stopping Wisconsin….WIS -14

Those are my 2 football betting picks of the week, and I am very confident in both. So head to your online football betting sites, check the lines, and see what your favorite picks of the week are. Enjoy the games this weekend! Next week I will have a Thanksgiving special!

Every week I pick my 2 favorite betting lines NFL or college and give analysis on why I made each pick. So if you like to bet on football games then you might want to consider looking at the games I have picked out. After last week’s huge Alabama/LSU game I decided to take a week off of Online college football gambling picks, so this week both will come from the NFL. Football sports betting is very hard to come up with locks for, but I am pretty confident in these 2 picks this week.

BAL -6.5 @ SEA: BALTIMORE -6.5

The Ravens are coming off of a great comeback win vs the rival Steelers, which pushed BAL’s record to 6-2. The Seahawks, however, have a 2-6 record this year, and haven’t impressed all season. Baltimore should be hungry for a win considering sole possession of the division lead is attainable this week. DeMarco Murray ran all over the Seahawks last week, and you could expect Ray Rice to do the same in week 10! Defensively Lewis, Reed, Suggs and the rest of the D will completely shut down the Seahawks…BAL -6.5

NYJ -1 vs NE: NEW ENGLAND +1

The Patriots home streak is over, and they have lost 2 games straight for the 1^st time in almost a decade. If it took that long for them to lose 2 in a row, what do you think the odds are of them losing 3 in a row? The problem is they are going up against a very hot Jets team that has won 3 in a row, and seems to be improving every single week. Revis and the Jets secondary completely shut down the Fitzpatrick and the Bills last week, but I just can’t see them doing the same thing this week to Brady and the Patriots. Brady & Belichick will get it right this week, and remind us all why they were the most feared offense in the NFL at the beginning of the season. Patriots will win and take over 1^st place in the AFC East…NE +1

These are the two pro football betting line ‘s that stand out most to me this week. So go to your online Football betting services and get these picks locked in as early as possible.

Every single week I give my 2 favorite football betting picks, and last week I went a perfect 2-0! Both teams I picked covered the spread by more than 2 TD’s, so neither game was even close. Hopefully this week I will be able to be just as successful! However, unlike last week I won’t just be picking NFL games. I will also be picking from college football betting lines this week.

ALA -4 vs LSU: The battle for SEC supremacy and for #1!

This is the game we have all been waiting for… the “SuperBowl” of college football betting this season. #1 vs #2, it simply doesn’t get better than that. LSU is the trendy pick as this line initially started at 6. LSU has looked great, and their secondary is one of the best I have ever seen. However, a secondary cant help you if the other team doesn’t pass the ball. And unfortunately for LSU, Alabama has the most consistent workhorse in the NCAA running the ball for them in Richardson. He will be too much for LSU to handle…ALABAMA -4

NE -8.5 vs NYG: SuperBowl 42 rematch

The Giants upset the Patriots a few years ago with a similar spread, but that won’t happen this time around. The Giants might be 5-2, but they almost lost to Miami, and should have lost to the Cardinals as well. The Patriots may have the same record, but they are a much more talented and deeper team. Betting against Brady and Belichick after a loss is never a good idea, as you know they will be extra motivated. NY’s biggest strength (pass rush) will be shut down by Brady’s play calling. Patriots win and win big….NE -8.5

If I were to bet on football games this weekend, these would be the 2 games I would look at. A secret to betting on football is to bet on teams with plenty of motivation, and you will not find teams with more motivation this week than these 2. So head to one of the best football betting sites and lock these picks in before it’s too late.
