The NFL Betting odds have been listed at online sportsbook for the opening week of the NFL preseason schedule. Leading off the start of the new NFL Betting season is the “Hall-of-Fame” game in Canton, Ohio featuring the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans. At SPORTSBETTING.com the Titans opened as 3-point favorites.
The early sports betting action from the preseason bettors came in on the designated visitor, the Buffalo Bills, and they currently sit as a 3-point underdog with -125 juice. The Titans are coming off an impressive 2008 campaign, but head into the 2009 season with several big question marks. Most notably, what will be the impact of Albert Haynesworth’s departure (free agency to Washington). It is difficult to overstate his importance in that defense. And the QB situation continues to be worth watching. Vince Young is entering his fourth season as a pro and it really is a critical year for him. If he ends up sitting on the bench this season, it could be very tough to resurrect his career.
Kerry Collins comes into camp as the #1 pivot. Give Collins credit, as he did a great job of managing this offense, but let’s all remember, this is Kerry Collins. He needs a ton of support from the running game and play-calling that keeps things very basic. In addition, he needs the benefit of a great defense to bail him out once in a while and to provide field position that puts them in highly advantageous situations. I wouldn’t count on Collins having another near perfect season.
Young will be looking to take the #1 spot away this preseason, and he has a shot – if he can hold it together and step up. This bodes well for those who are betting on the Titans in the preseason. Young is going to want to show very well when he is handed the ball, and in a lot of situations, he should have an edge facing other teams #2 units.
Looking back at the NFL gambling results from previous Hall of Fame Games, last year the Washington Redskins topped the Indianapolis Colts 30-16, with the Redskins covering the pointspread. In 2007, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints kicked off the NFL Betting preseason schedule, with the sports betting world wading in and betting on the Steelers heavily in that matchup. The bettors won that battle, as the Steelers beat the ‘Aints 20-7, covering the spread.

Canada to play Argentina for bronze at world U-19 Basketball Betting tournament
Canada will play Argentina for bronze at the world under-19 women's basketball Betting championships after a lopsided 82-51 loss to the United States in Saturday's semifinals.
Kayla Alexander of Milton, Ont., scored 12 points to top the Canadians, who were coming off an upset win over Australia to earn their first appearance in the semifinals.
The two-time defending champion Americans broke the game open early with a 27-0 run, and the Canadians never recovered. Adding to the team's troubles, starting forward Natalie Achonwa of Guelph, Ont., left the game early on with a hip injury.
"I think we just didn't respond to that offensive quality," said Canadian coach Rich Chambers. "We still have a chance for a medal. So we hope we can take this experience to (Sunday)."
Nicole Larke of Calgary hit a three-pointer for the game's first points, but the Americans held Canada (4-4) off the scoreboard for the next 13 minutes to take a 27-3 lead, and led 50-18 at halftime.
The U.S. (7-1) had 19 steals.
Spain defeated Argentina 67-49 in Saturday's other semifinal. Canada will face the Argentines for bronze on Sunday.

NBA Betting-NBA Insider-Raptors Trade for Belinelli
Andrea Bargnani won’t be the only Italian Stallion on the Toronto Raptors anymore. The Raptors shipped newly acquired Devean George, who Toronto received in the mega deal that shipped Shawn Marion to Dallas and allowed the Raps to sign Turkoglu, to Golden State in exchange. It’s not the biggest move, but it proves that Toronto is still looking to the future. Their willingness to continue to build a team around Chris Bosh, so that he resigns in Toronto, is priority one amidst all of these shifty moves by Colangelo.
Belinelli is the 18th overall pick from the 2007 NBA Draft, and was drafted right behind guys like Al Thornton, Rodney Stuckey and Nick Young. Though he averaged just 8.9 points per game and 2.1 assists in 42 games during the 2008-09 NBA Betting Online season, Bellini did have a 13-game stretch where he averaged 16.0 points per game. The Italian shooting-guard made a name for himself during the 2006 FIBA World Championships where he played for the national team of Italy and averaged 13.5 points per game. Against the U.S. National Team, Belinelli scored 25 points in a preliminary game loss. In short the kid has talent, but we just aren’t sure how much.
Don Nelson was extremely high on Belinelli after the 2007 summer league and the injuries the Italian sustained that have kept him in only 75 games in two seasons allowed the staff in Golden State to lose some faith in the speedy guard. Trading Belinelli to the Raptors had more to do with the pressing financial situation of the Warriors. Toronto will assume most of George’s contract with the cash considerations paid to Golden State in the trade.
This move alone isn’t enough to secure Bosh. But Belinelli, DeRozan, Calderon, Turkoglu, Jarrett Jack and Bargnani will have to prove that the Raptors are a team worth signing on to long-term. For the short-term, they are slowly inching towards respectability in the eyes of their gambling online faithful who were burned at the stake by Toronto.

Baseball Betting-Philly Acquires 2008 Cy Young Winner
The Philadelphia Phillies couldn’t agree to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays for Roy Halladay so they moved on.
Philly acquired Cliff Lee–last year’s Cy Young winner–and OF Ben Francisco from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for some minor leaguers.
The Phillies got their Cy Young winner in Baseball Betting.
After making a run at landing Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay before Friday's Trade Deadline, the Phillies instead acquired Indians ace Cliff Lee. The Phillies and Indians announced Wednesday evening that Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco have been traded to the Phillies for prospects Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald and Lou Marson.
The Phillies improved their rotation and added a much-needed right-handed bat for their bench. The Indians get four of the top 10 prospects in Philadelphia's system, according to Baseball Betting America. The Blue Jays? Well, they might have overplayed their hand with less than 48 hours to go before the Deadline.
Lee isn’t exactly a winning pitcher this year however.
In his last 20 Baseball Betting games, Cleveland was only 8-12 SU.

NFL Football Betting Online-Brett Favre Stays Retired
It’s been reported that Brett Favre has let the Minnesota Vikings know that he won’t be playing football this season.
"It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made," Favre told ESPN. "I didn’t feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable."
The news came as a blow to the Viking organization and to those sports bettors who had put money on the Minnesota to win their division, the NFC and/or the Super Bowl. The Football Betting Online on the Vikings at most online sportsbooks jumped once news broke that they were chasing Favre. The team opened around +2200 at most online betting outs, but the money started to pour in on Minny, dropping the odds to as low as +1500.
At respected sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com the Vikings were sitting at 16-1 Tuesday evening, hours after the report he was not going to suit up.
This is a team with one of the best defences in the league and on the other side of the ball, they have one of the top running backs in the game, Adrian Peterson. The glaring weakness has been, and apparently will continue to be at the QB spot. If Favre stepped in to this offense, despite being 39 years old and clearly not as effective as he had been several seasons ago, he made this team a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
The Minnesota Vikings had seemed a perfect fit for quarterback Brett Favre, a playoff-caliber team that would give him an opportunity to play in a familiar offense while seeking the vengeance he craved against the Green Bay Packers.
Favre has talked about his retirement for so many years that no one was shocked when it appeared he was about to return to the NFL Football Betting Online again.
Minnesota won the NFC North division last year despite the lack of production at QB and there is every indication they could be better this year, with or without a chance behind center.
Heading into camp the QB battle will now be left to Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels. Look for Rosenfels to win that battle, but he still needs to prove he can be an effective, consistent starter.
The NFC North division is wide open, particularly now that the Chicago Bears have a starting QB who might actually be able to move the offense. The future odds on the Bears to win the Super Bowl is currently 20-1, with odds of 15-8 to win the division.
