NFL Betting Lines

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…

If anyone took the NFL betting odds on Kansas City in Sunday’s game they’re sitting on a pile of money right now. When the Chiefs hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 11 there was perhaps no bigger mismatch on the board. And yet that’s what makes the NFL betting lines so interesting.

The Chiefs were 0-12 at home in their previous dozen NFL betting matchups and little to no reason to expect to win this game. The offense has been terrible all year, it just scored its first rushing TD of the year in week 10 and the defense ranks among the worst in the league. Read more…

The 2009 NFL lines on the regular season are finally here. First off, the opening game between the defending Super Bowl champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they host the Tennessee Titans in their home stadium of Heinz Field. As the previous Super Bowl champs, they earn the honor of opening up the following season, and open it they shall.

The Steelers enter the 2009 regular season as 6½ point favorites, and they are expected to cover. The preseason wasn’t exactly a stellar performance, but they still did exceptionally well. With a 3-1 preseason record against the Titans’ 3-2 preseason record, the two teams look easily matched. However, the Titans are 0-2 in road games for the preseason. Can we expect an improvement in their performance throughout the NFL lines during the regular season? Read more…
