Colts Squeak Past Pats
All eyes were on Bill Belichick’s stunned face last night, his decision to “go for it” on 4th down late in the final quarter risked the whole game for the New England Patriots. The result? The Pats were denied and Peyton Manning went on to throw a one-yard touchdown to take the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts to victory. Pats quarterback Tom Brady was certainly right when he said: “It’s a bummer”. The bigger ‘bummer’ may have been for Patriot bettors who pounded the +1 betting line at LinesMaker and other major sportsbooks. Most experts have concluded...
NFL Week 9 Betting Review
With NFL week 9 completed, the team in the spotlight last Sunday was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, MFL betting has the Vikings at +400 odds to win the 2010 Super Bowl.

Colts Undefeated but not Perfect: NFL Betting Preview
With odds at + 450 to win Super Bowl, the Indianapolis Colts performance has been predictably good to but not outstanding. Their winning in streak has been filled with imperfections and Sunday’s game against the 49ers (+7500 to win Super Bowl) showed a sluggish offense struggling to score. At times, Peyton Manning appeared to be out of sync with his team. This play isn’t typical of the Colts and to live up to the predictions they are going to have to step it up in the second half of the season. Noting that there are “definitely some areas we...
Bubble Bursts for Broncos: NFL Betting Preview
The previously undefeated Denver Broncos lost their first game of the season, 30 – 7 to the Baltimore Ravens. Joe Flacco threw for 175 yards and one touchdown for the Ravens. They stifled the Broncos offense with their incredible defensive play, limiting them to less the 100 total yards in the first half, and sacking quarterback Kyle Orton twice. This ended the Ravens three game losing streak. Let’s see if they can keep up the pace, Linesmaker have the Broncos and Ravens odds to win the AFC Championship at+500 and +700 respectively. We have...
Betting the Bengals: NFL Betting Preview
Through seven games the biggest surprise so far this season has been the Cincinnati Bengals. After beating the Steelers they followed up by beating then the Bears 45 –10. A regret the Bears may have is the signing of Cedric Benson by the Bengals. The Bears had Benson ranked overall 4th in 2005, making him their highest drafted player since 1979. After his shaky time in 2008 with alcohol related arrests and his departure from the Bears he is now he’s stepping it up for the Bengals. The Bengals have a bye in week 8 and then face a big divisional game...
Chicago Bears NFL Betting Preview
The Chicago Bears are the ultimate Wild Card team this football season and new quarterback Jay Culter, traded from Denver, will certainly be put to the test. This position was their weakest link even when they reached Super Bowl a few years back. This thankfully for the Bears has changed with Cutler and a good offensive behind him in Matt Forte who finished 7th in the league last season with 1,238 yards on 316 carries for an average of 3.9 yards-per-carry, and 8 touchdowns, and halfback Kevin Jones, who is a great asset and will be splitting the touches Forte. In...
San Diego Chargers NFL Betting Preview
This season the San Diego Chargers look to have little competition within the AFC West division. They could be heading for the title under head coach Norv Turner, though their strongest opponents Kansas City and Denver have new quarterbacks and head coaches which could tip the balance. LinesMaker gives then odds for AFC Champions of +800. Predictions tell us that even though the Chargers will have an easy route to the playoffs, they never quite make the grade with a lack of team effort or chemistry. LinesMaker has them listed at +800 to win Super Bowl...
Indianapolis Colts NFL Betting Preview
It’s all change and a welcome one for the Indianapolis Colts this season with the replacement of Tony Dungy with new head coach Jim Caldwell. It’s believed that Caldwell will form a better defense so the pressure is off Peyton Manning to help them win every time. Manning has always been able to come from behind and win all their games. The roster stays much the same as it did in 2008 and generally oddsmakers have been conservative with their odds this season. This has been caused by internal politics, the falling out of coordinators...
Dallas Cowboys NFL Betting Preview
The Dallas Cowboys prove that even having the most talented players in the world does not mean a franchise can make it to the play offs, which has earned them a reputation of being biggest underachievers in the game with odds to prove it at a LinesMaker of +1800 to win Super Bowl 2010. The Cowboys miss the playoffs in December, finished third in the NFC East and didn’t even get close to a Wildcard position. This season LinesMaker has them at +900 to win the Championship. All fingers are pointing at head coach, Wade Phillips, who is in now the hot...
