NFL Football Bets-NFL Odds- Tennessee Titans Betting Preview
I was looking over the NFL future odds “NFL Regular Season Win Totals” betting options, looking for an edge. I always like to have a few Season Win Total bets in my pocket by the time the regular season kicks off. For one, I have a pretty good record over the years of making a profit on these future bets, and two, I like having the season-long action, as every weekend, regardless of what single game wagers you make, you’ll also have a betting interest in a few games.
So it was with this in mind that I put my NFL handicapping hat on and was looking over the AFC South division for a possible bet.
Looking at the NFL odds ,Football Bets at online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com, the Indianapolis Colts have an Over/Under Season Win total of 10.5. At this point, before camp, I don’t have a feel one way or the other. The same goes for the numbers on Jacksonville (Over/Under 8) and the Houston Texans (Over/Under 8.5).
NFL Picks
But the Tennessee Titans line of Over/Under 9 caught my eye. Tennessee is coming off a near perfect regular season in 2008, sporting a 13-3 mark. I just don’t see a repeat of those lofty numbers, not with their 2009 schedule.
That said, I do see some value in playing the “Over” 9 wins for this team in 2009. Online sportsbook have added some juice to the “Over” play, but I’m willing to lay the -130 juice on this one.
Yes, the Titans lost All-World defensive player Albert Haynesworth, and while his absence will, of course, be felt, I don’t think it will be as significant as many others. Haynesworth makes everyone around him better, of that there is no question, but this Tennessee defense has played without him in the past, and played well. He has not managed to suit up for all 16 games in a season since his second year in the league. But more importantly for the sports betting crew who are looking at betting on this team is that defensive line coach Jim Washburn is one of the best position coaches in the league. He gets the most out of his players and knows how to scheme for opposing O-lines, creating mismatches. Don’t look for a big drop-off from this defense. They’re very solid at linebacker and have one of the best secondaries in the game.
Offensively, they have all the pieces in place. Kerry Collins isn’t going to dazzle anyone, but he proved to be a very steady pivot and one who could make plays when he needed to. The O-line is good at pass protection and very good at run blocking.
With Chris Johnson and Lendale White, the Titans will be tough to control when they run the ball. Look for them to continue to churn out the yards on the ground, which takes pressure off the passing game, opening the entire offense up.
With the pieces still largely in place, this is a team that has a shot at going deep in the playoffs.
Looking at the current lineup and their schedule, I see them hitting 10 to 11 wins, which triggered the bet at SPORTSBETTING.com on the “Over” 9 wins.
Good luck with all your NFL betting as we get ready for the NFL Football Bets preseason. Next week I’ll be looking at the NFL preseason odds and preseason picks for Week 1.

NFL Betting Preseason Schedule -NFL Odds
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.
You can watch this year’s Hall of Fame Game on NBC, starting at 8:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 9th.

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.
