Everyone who knows anything about NFL betting knows about the curse of the Super Bowl runner up. Almost without fail the year after a team loses a Super Bowl they fall apart at the seams and go from being one of the top two teams in the league to being a division doormat.
But do those same football betting rules apply to the greatest QB in football betting history?
It’s hard to say as Peyton Manning has never lost a Super Bowl before last season and it will be interesting to see how his Indianapolis Colts bounce back. Chances are Indy will be just fine so long as Manning is under center in the NFL betting action ahead. All this guy does is win and even he’s come up short in the big game and has a less than heroic record as starter in the NFL playoff action, no one can argue the fact that he’s the best player in football.

Everyone knows that the most important position in the NFL betting action is a QB. Super bowls are won and dynasties are built around star QBs and the rotten teams all share the common characteristic of not having competent signal caller and keep losing in the NFL odds action until they finally get their “savior” behind center.
So what on God’s green earth would possess a GM to trade away a Pro Bowl QB in his prime like Donovan McNabb? And not just to trade him, but to trade him to a bitter division rival like the Washington Redskins, a team that has loads of talent but has been lacking only a QB in recent years. Read more…
The NFL betting landscape has undergone a seismic shift, at least in the NFC East. For years QB Donovan has been one of the best in the business and been a thorn in the side of NFC East NFL wagering opponents. And in the upcoming NFL betting season that’s not going to change, he’ll just be beating defenses while wearing a maroon jersey instead of green one.
In one of the truly unprecedented moves in football betting history, the Philadelphia Eagles traded away a Pro-Bowl QB (and the best in franchise history). And they didn’t ship him off to the distant West Coast or to the AFC betting competition. Read more…
The Packers are coming off one of the most unlikely losses of the season. With the game at Pittsburgh (one of the hardest places to win) seemingly in hand the Steelers some how drove the length of the field in the closing seconds to score a TD and win by one.
Now the pathetic Seahawks (5-9) will receive the brunt of the Packers frustration when to two square off in the two teams square off in the frozen tundra of Lambeau in week 16 of the sports betting action. Read more…
“Chris Henry Dead” is a headline none of us expected to see. He died Thursday morning at 6:36am the day after receiving injuries during a domestic dispute with his fiancée. The Cincinnati Bengals WR was only 26 years old when doctors pronounced him dead. At some point during this domestic dispute with Loleini Tonga, his fiancée, Chris Henry jumped into the bed of their pickup truck as Loleini was driving away. Apparently, Chris fell out of the truck and suffered “life-threatening injuries”
Henry had had a number of run-ins with the law, being arrested five times, the fifth for an assault charge. He was suspended for half a season along with Titans cornerback Adam Jones, suspended for a full season, as part of the NFL’s toughening policy on conduct. After his fifth arrest, Judge Bernie Bouchard referred to him as “a one-man crime wave.” Naturally, the Bengals let him go. Of course, Henry was crushed as his high school dream of an NFL career was crumbling. He received a second chance and became a reformed man. Read more…
