NFL future odds, notably we are looking at NFL Team Win Totals, at online sportsbooks hit the board sometime back in May. If you didn’t buy in then, don’t worry, there’s still time to get in your future bets. Smart bettors make sure to get the best numbers possible. It’s important to check the numbers when you’re betting on the NFL.
Betting futures at your online sportsbook through the long, hot days of summer is a good distraction from baseball betting. It takes America’s pastime to the next level. NFL preseason football started with the Hall of Fame game between Tennessee and Buffalo and since then football betting has climbed right back to the top of the gambling chain where it belongs.
Betting activity on Season Win Totals (SWT) hit a new high this year and offshore oddsmakers have had to stay on their toes, adjusting odds daily to keep the balance. Even football bettors that don’t normally make Over/Under bets were poking around and sportsbook managers say it just shows how popular gambling on the sport has become.
If you’re one of the people still on the fence about betting futures, here’s a guideline to which NFL teams have seen the most movement since May. We’ve split the teams into four categories: Up, down, bi-polar, and buy now!
Up
Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan had one of the best rookie seasons ever, Michael Turner is a stud, the Falcons made a playoff appearance, and the team’s preseason has been wrinkle free. Take your pick; it all adds up to a pretty package. It has also more than doubled the SWT compared to 2008. Buying "Over" this number is true gambling.
Down
Denver and Tampa Bay are racing to catch St. Louis and Oakland for lowest final total. (Detroit doesn’t count). Bettors have been pounding last year’s biggest losers down all summer. Doesn’t anyone remember the Dolphins?
Check the most recent NFL Betting.
Bi-polar
Buffalo Bills: There couldn’t be a more fitting team for this manic department other than the next in line willing to take a shot with Terrell Owens. The hype of signing TO set off a frantic pace of bandwagon bettors and sportsbooks knew they could raise the price. Then everyone seemed to remember what a distraction TO can be and the number came down. When TO showed up and the Bills were getting along nice it crept back up but then preseason started and two things happened. Tom Brady looked amazing and the Bills, well, they just looked like the Bills again.
Buy now!
Arizona did us all a favour by making the Super Bowl last year and Capt. Kurt has done us a service staying healthy through preseason. It stabilized things and bought "Under" bettors some time. If you hurry you can still get in at 8.5!

NFL Betting Recap – Free Football Contests
Taking a look back on the past weekend’s events is a good idea if you are into NFL betting – even when betting on NFL preseason odds. Consider it practice for the real thing.
Most people who enjoy sports betting and particularly, NFL betting, take it easy when wagering on the NFL betting preseason games. Regardless of what you read in the local papers or posting forums and no matter how many sports betting services are on a certain side or total, plans can change. Unpredictability is the nature of the preseason beast.
Reflecting back on the highs and lows of a recent weekend is a sometimes difficult but necessary evil. Marking losses with a bright red marker, a practice that even professional handicappers employ is painful and it stands out. It’s not something they want to make a habit of.
Whether it was a winning or losing week, anyone that got a chance to take in some of the Week 2 action on the NFL Network or one of the national broadcasts was treated to a couple of interesting storylines, plus we get set for contest season with SPORTSBETTING.com’s free football contests (see the details below):
Brett Favre Starts For Vikes:
Ask a single person that lives outside of Dallas or Washington what was the biggest football related event and if they don’t say, “Brett Favre in purple,” they are probably lying.
Favre’s two drives were anti-climactic to say the least, going 1-for-4 and taking a good lick in the process. And it sparks debate as to whether any player, regardless of his stature or place in the record books, should be on the field in a live game after missing most of training camp.
A sidebar to the whole Favre situation was a solid performance by Tavares Jackson (12-15, 202 yards). Maybe we keep Minnesota on the list of teams with QB competitions a little longer?

Dallas Unveils New Home:
And in Dallas, little Jerry got to show off his new toy, the Cowboys notched an impressive win and everyone in Cowtown went home happy. After looking awful in Week 1, when the NFL lines came out for Week 2 preseason action Dallas was a small home favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans. The Cowboys covered the spread in their first games in the new stadium, sending fans home happy.
It was pretty funny, though, when the punters that had been pelting the new, million-peg light-bright all through practice actually hit it during the game.
Afterwards Jerry Jones said he built that thing to spec and if the league wants to change it they can foot the bill. Wonder which online sportsbook will be the first to offer an Over/Under prop on number of games until the league caves in and pays for the thing to be raised.

College Basketball Betting- Cremins signs extension through 2014-Online Sportsbook
Cremins signs extension College of Charleston athletic director Joe Hull announced Friday that men's basketball coach Bobby Cremins has signed a two-year contract extension that runs through the 2013-14 season.
The Cougars have posted a 65-37 record and made a pair of Southern Conference championship game appearances during Cremins' three years at the helm.
Now, with Wildcats' star Stephen Curry gone to the NBA, College of Charleston likely will be the favorite to win the SoCon title -- and return Cremins to the NCAA college basketball betting tournament.
"Yeah, we hope to get there one day," he said. "We'll see."
Charleston returns one of the Southern Conference's top players in Andrew Goudelock, who averaged 16.7 points a game -- fourth-best in the league -- and made the postseason all-conference first team. The schedule, though, could make things difficult with games against Clemson, Tennessee and, in Charleston, defending NCAA college basketball betting champion North Carolina.
"I love online basketball betting at College of Charleston and I'm excited about the direction of the program," said Cremins. "I really appreciate the support of the College of Charleston and its administration." Cremins made a name for himself with Georgia Tech, guiding the program to 14 winning seasons and 14 postseason berths in his 19 years as bench boss. The Yellow Jackets won three Atlantic Coast Conference tournament titles, one ACC regular-season crown and reached the Final Four in 1990. He departed as the school's all-time winningest coach.
"We are thrilled to have Bobby Cremins as our head basketball coach," said Hull.
"Bobby is a proven winner, a terrific person and a great fit for the College of Charleston." Cremins' trophy case is also full of personal accolades, taking home National Coach of the Year honors in 1985 and 1990, while capturing ACC Coach of Year in 1983, 1985 and 1996.
Online Sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.COM gives more information about Cremins signs extension.
When the wins didn't come as frequently, Cremins was let go by Georgia Tech after the 2000 season. He spent his time as a college basketball analyst and playing tennis on Hilton Head -- until joining the College basketball betting of Charleston.
Cremins would be nearing 67 when his new deal runs out. He's watched Penn State's Joe Paterno coach into his 80s and isn't ready to put a time limit on his basketball coaching career.

College Football Future Odds-2009 Heisman Trophy Betting
After coming off a very exciting season last year, there is plenty of surrounding the 2009 College Football Future odds Season. The 2009 Heisman Trophy Betting Odds have been released and a trio of quarterbacks lead the way. The favorite to win the award is University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. Betting Lines have Tebow listed at +200 to win this year's Heisman Trophy Award. Tebow won the award just two season ago when he was only a sophomore. He will be leading a Florida Gators team who is coming into the season ranked as the number one team in the country. Ironically, Tebow led his team to a national title last year but came up short of winning the Heisman. If he is able to win the award again this year, Tim Tebow will join Archie Griffin as the only two time winners of the prestigious award.
The college Sports gambling season is right around the corner and now would be a good time to get the jump on Heisman Trophy betting.
As it stands, Florida QB Tim Tebow (2007 winner) is the odds-on fave to take the award at +200 followed by Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford (last year’s winner) and Texas signal-caller Colt McCoy (+300).
Heisman Trophy ,As it stands, before there has been a single play this season, it looks like a three-man race, just like you would expect it to be with all three of the top finishers in last year’s Heisman voting returning for the 2009 season.
Sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com gives information on 2009 Heisman Trophy betting.
The favorite, though not an overwhelming one, is Tim Tebow at +200 odds. Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 (the first ever sophomore to win the award) and finished 3rd overall in the 2008 Heisman voting despite receiving more 1st place votes than both Sam Bradford (winner) and Colt McCoy (runner-up). This year Tebow’s Florida Gators are the favorite yet again to win the BCS National Championship, and why not? With one of the best coaches/recruiters in the nation in Urban Meyer, and Tim Tebow running the offense, the Gators have a great chance at winning their 3rd national title in 4 years.
Oklahoma starting quarterback, Sam Bradford, last year’s Heisman Trophy winner has been installed at +275 odds to win the award for a second straight season. Bradford had one of the most prolific passing seasons in NCAA football history in 2008, racking up 4,7020 yards and 50 touchdowns while throwing just 8 interceptions. There are some concerns that the Sooners’ receiving corps aren’t as good as they were last year, but there’s little doubt that Bradford has an uncanny ability to find an open man.
Our expert team of handicappers provides football picks all season long to help you beat the college football future odds!
Colt McCoy, the quarterback for the Texas Longhorns is currently listed right next to Bradford as far as the odds are concerned at +275 odds to win the Heisman. McCoy was the real deal for Texas last year. He completed an amazing 76.7% of his passes, throwing for 3,859 yards and collecting 34 passing TDs while giving away just 8 interceptions. McCoy helped lead his team to a victory over the Oklahoma Sooners last season, but the Longhorns missed out on the BCS Championship game due to what many believe is a flawed point system. Nevertheless, McCoy will be back for his senior year, and the best may be yet to come for the Texas QB.

2009 Week 1 Preseason Odds -Online NFL Betting And Football Betting
How do you like the new NFL season so far Titan bettors? Yeah, I feel the same way as I was holding a Tennessee ticket at -3 last Sunday night as well. When the Titans took the safety at the end of the game to win 21-18, that push felt as close to a loss as any pointspread push ever could. And Buffalo bettor s don’t gloat too long, as the sports betting gods have a way of evening these things out.
Now we move on to Week 1 preseason NFL Football betting action. One of the feature matchups for the opening week of preseason betting is scheduled for Thursday night, when we’ll get to see Tom Brady in game action for the first time in 11 months. The Patriots travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles and have been listed as a 3-point underdog. Don’t expect much more than two series from Brady and the same from Donovan McNabb and the Philly starters.
Talking to several sportsbook, it looks like the Patriots are getting the edge from the sports betting community, with New England seeing 65% of the wagering volume.
For all of the latest lines on Thursday’s preseason game, be sure to visit SPORTSBETTING.com.
Despite the wagering volume favoring the Patriots, I’m leaning the other way in this matchup. Yes, Brady has looked good in camp, along with the entire first-string offense. Tossing to Randy Moss and Wes Welker, this is going to be an explosive offense again in 2009. While I don’t know if we’ll see the gaudy numbers this crew put up in 2007, led by a healthy Brady, they’ll likely lead the league in most key offensive categories this season.
That said, this is a preseason game, so Brady and McNabb play a very small role in the handicapping process as we look for Football bets picks. In the preseason, I always pay close attention to the QB position, but it is Week 3 when the first-stringers become very important. This week it is about matching up the backups vs. the opposing second and third string defenses.
New England’s Kevin O'Connell will play a significant role, getting a bulk of the important snaps. On the other side, I’m looking at Kevin Kolb and AJ Feeley. I’ve always liked AJ Feeley in preseason and look for spots to play the Eagles when he is going to get a decent amount of snaps, particularly if they come against third-stringers for a few series. And I think we will get that scenario in this matchup. I expect Feeley, who has had some success as a starter in the league, to look good and move the ball.
Looking at this one, I do like the matchups for Philadelphia after the starters have played a couple of series. I’m laying the -3 points with this preseason bet and playing on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Also, check out the free “Pick The Winners” contest. I play it every week...it’s easy and fun. This week you can pick NFL preseason winners for a shot at a free $50.00...check out the Sports Gambling contest.
