NFL Betting Lines

A decade ago it you wanted to create a successful NFL gambling team you needed to things: a strong running game and a strong defense. These days the that formula has been turned on its on its head and if you want to win NFL gambling championships in the 21st century you need a good QB and good passing game.

Everyone in the league is now going over their NFL Draft board looking for the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Drew Brees to build their offense around. But the emergence of pass heavy offenses in the NFL gambling competition has also profoundly affected the defense in the NFL as well. Read more…

Cornerback has become the new glamour position in the NFL gambling. CB Charles Woodson won the NFL Defensive Player of the year award and fellow CB Derrelle Revis is widely considered the best defensive player in the NFL gambling action.

With teams throwing 40-50 times a game and gigantic WRs becoming more and more of a homerun threat thanks to PI calls this CB spot can no longer be ignored. It wasn’t so long ago that CB was almost an afterthought in the NFL draft.

One year ago there was great anticipation among NFL betting lines junkies for the 2010 quarterbacking class. It was going to rival the great NFL draft of 1984 that produces such stars as Dan Marino, Jim Kelly and John Elway. With Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow all coming off phenomenal seasons their potential in the NFL betting lines seemed limitless.

But after Bradford’s season was torn apart by injuries, McCoy failed to live up to the hype and Tebow’s mechanics were torn apart by NFL draft experts, this QB crop now looks mighty average in the eyes of most NFL betting line’s experts. Bradford is still the number player in this bunch, if perhaps only for the fact that his potential has yet to be revealed because of the injuries. Read more…
