The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints will finally get a chance to defend its title as they open the season on September 9th as one of the favorites in the NFL gambling lines get back to the title game. In the season opener on Thursday the team will face one of the other Super Bowl favorites and NFL rival, the Minnesota Vikings.

But on paper this Jets defense has the potential to completely alter the NFL odds balance of power in the upcoming 2010 NFL betting season. Read more…
No fans in any professional sports betting league have suffered the way that the Detroit Lion fans have suffered over the past several decades during the NFL betting action.
This is a club that seems to set the bar even lower for NFL betting futility, year after year. It has been 11 years since this team has made the NFL playoff betting competition and 18 years since it’s won the NFC Central title. And in case you’re interested, this team has never won the Super Bowl, never even been to one for that matter. Read more…
