curtis painter colts backup qbWeek 2 of the NFL pre-season kicks off tonight with a pair of games. Let’s have a look at the Thursday games, as well as the Friday Eagles vs Bengals NFL preseason wagering odds game. 

Thursday, August 19, 2010

You know it’s pre-season when the Bills are favored over the Colts in the 21st Century. The Bills were slaughtered 42-17 in their pre-season opener versus Washington, and they have lost their top two RBs for a month (Jackson and Lynch). Look for a healthy dose of rookie sensation C.J. Spiller Thursday night. 

Indy also lost their opener to the 49ers last week. Manning looked strong in his two series and then it was turnover central with the B Team and QB Curtis Painter throwing three picks. 

NFL wagering trends currently have 83% of the volume on the Bills at – 3.5.

Both teams won their pre-season opens; the Pats 27-24 over the Saints, and The Falcons 20-10 against the Chiefs. For the second consecutive week, New England conducted a joint practice session with their pre-season opponent prior to the game. The Pats feature two young TEs, Gronkowski and Hernandez and look for a lot of playing time for rookie LB Sean Weatherspoon.

The Falcons focus is on evaluating their younger players and to play smarter than last week with eight penalties for 61 yards. Mike Smith is expecting the starters to play between 18-20 snaps.

Currently 86% of the money is on the Pats +2.5.

Friday, August 20, 2010

Cincy lost the Hall of Game to Dallas 16-7. Coach Lewis has stated that their first team will play longer than they did in that game, with most starters going half way into the second quarter.

Philly won their opener 28-27 against the visiting Jaguars. Their first team defense looked strong getting only six plays, with two- 3 and outs. Look for the starters to play as much as two quarters.

Currently 88% of the action is on the Eagles +3.

Enjoy the games.

2010 NFL Wagering - MVP Wagering Odds

Filed Under (Odds Alerts) by Stan on 08-18-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

brady vs manningThe 2010 NFL betting campaign is about to kick off its first full week of the preseason on Thursday night. BetUS Sportsbook is already raring to go with a list of NFL prop wagers for you to sink your teeth into for this season.

Check out our analysis of the NFL betting props regarding the MVP in 2010.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? So go on JOIN NOW.]
 

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (+700) - Brees makes the most sense to become the league’s MVP this year due to the fact that he is going to be called upon the most to lead his team to the playoffs. There really is no doubt that the Saints are going to the second season, which is usually a prerequisite for winning this award.
 

In spite of the fact that names like Brady and Manning are still at the tops of their games, we tend to believe that Brees might be the best thing going right now.

 
Is 5,000 passing yards out of the equation? We aren’t ones to doubt the defending champs.

 
Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers (+900) - If you really believe that the Chargers are going to throw the ball an even higher percentage of the time this year than they did last year, Rivers might be the man to look at.

 
There is no doubt that the former member of the NC State Wolfpack is worth at least a good look, as he is probably going to be used more on the goal line now that RB LaDainian Tomlinson is gone.

 
HC Norv Turner probably trusts his veteran quarterback with the ball near the end zone a lot more than he does a scat back (Darren Sproles) or a rookie (Ryan Mathews).

 
With TE Antonio Gates and WR Vincent Jackson both capable of 1,500 yard seasons, Rivers is a logical choice for the league’s MVP.

 
Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys (+1200) - Romo has a new weapon at his disposal this year with WR Dez Bryant in the fold, and that could be just the kick he needs to become a legitimate MVP selection.

 
Romo knows he can throw for 5,000 yards if need be, and with this type of an offense, OC Jason Garrett will be perfectly content to let him throw the ball 40-45 times if need be for the Cowboys to triumph.

 
If Dallas wins the NFC East this year, it is going to be on Romo’s right arm; He’s a great MVP selection at these nfl wagering odds!

 
Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens (+1800) - Flacco is a bit of a longshot, particularly for as much as RBs Ray Rice and Willis McGahee run the ball, but with WR Anquan Boldin now in his arsenal of weapons, Flacco has no excuse not to bring the purple and black back to the playoffs in 2010.
 

Baltimore has a very manageable schedule as well, and getting to the playoffs will almost certainly yield at least one MVP candidate.

 
Flacco seems like the most logical choice with both the rushing game and receiving duties being split relatively evenly.

UFC 114 Wagering Odds Picks

Filed Under (Odds Alerts) by Stan on 05-28-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , ,

quinton rampage jacksonBreaking down the UFC 114 wagering bout between "Rampage" Jackson and "Suga" Rashad Evans, with picks and analysis.

UFC 114: Rampage vs Evans will see the headliners Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and "Suga" Rashad Evans finally put their gloves where their mouths are. Reportedly the feud goes back to 2004.
 
This Saturday, May 29, 2010 we will see the grudge settled. At least the current grudge that is. Who knows what will happen during the fight that night create another grudge, requiring yet another headliner bout to settle…Dana White can only dream.
 
If it turns out to be a "fight of the night," we will almost assuredly get a rematch and the possible tie breaker to finally settle it once and for all. We’ll have to see how that shapes up.
 
Currently online sportsbooks have the lines listed as:
 
Quinton Rampage Jackson -115
Suga Rashad Evans -115    
 
The above line is from SPORTSBETTING.com, but you can still find slight variations at some books, with Rashad favored in a few spots and Rampage getting a slight nod in places…but it is very close and even at most spots.
 
I believe the reason Rashad is getting a slight nod is based on what people feel Rampage isn’t bringing to the fight, rather than what Rashad is bringing. Where Rampage is favored, money appears to be accounting for his experience and past record, especially from the PRIDE days.
 
With that said, I’m beginning to wonder where Rashad is in all of this. It seems like a lot of attention is being paid to Rampage’s current condition. Is the fight really all resting on Rampage? Is it really all up to him being hot or cold on Saturday night? I don’t think so.
 
If you asked Rampage’s camp though, I’d expect you’d get a yes. I keep hearing things along the lines of, “he’s taking it personal”, “ he has never trained like this”, “Rashad is gonna get carried out on a stretcher”.
 
Almost sounds like a busted fighter who’s dying to make a comeback…I’m just saying…
 
UFC 114: Rampage vs Evans Analysis and Pick

When I look at Rashad, I see the strength of his offensive wrestling. How he uses the standard leg takedowns effectively. I loved how he charged in on Thiago Silva and got takedown after takedown. I think Rampage’s wrestling is great as well, but he uses it to keep the fight on the feet and pulls out the occasional, but devastating, slam. I think if Rashad goes to Rampage like he did against Thiago then Rampage may have his hands full.
 
On the feet, most are giving the skill advantage to Rampage because of his technical prowess. I don’t mind Rashad’s lunging punches, especially when he follows up with a single or double leg takedown and ends up on top in control position. His standup is improving enough that I think it will make Rampage weary enough to stay standing in the pocket and will get him on the move. This is a great set up for Rashad to charge in for the takedown. Rampage can stuff a lot of guys and keep the fight up, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Rashad, minus the Machida fight.
 
Rampage is a lot of things. A champion as well. Rashad was too. This one we’ll determine which former champ gets the next shot at the current light heavyweight title holder Shogun Rua.
 
UFC 114 Picks:

So, for the fight I’m picking Rashad. Enjoy the event and good luck with all your UFC picks. Check all the UFC 114 wagering odds right now!
