NFL Week 2 Picks: Sunday Morning Snap Judgements

A lot of NFL betting fans are just waking up right now, thinking about which games to play and where to get their action in. Here’s a brief run down with some football betting picks:

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals

Common sense says take the Ravens, but at a closer look this Bengals team has the Ravens number (2-0 against them last year), the Ravens are on a short week, back-to-back road games and the Bengals needs this one.

Pick: Bengals +3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers are only successful when they can run the ball. This week, they will run the ball and do it well against the feeble Bucs.

Pick: Carolina -3.5

Buffalo Bills @ Green Bay Packers

This looks to be the blowout of the week. The Bills will be in it for about a quarter or so but this is too tall an order for them to step into Lambeau and get the win.

Pick: Packers -13

For winning the Fujisankei Classic golf title, Ishikawa was awarded an amount of $261,000 and this leads to the top position in Japan Golf tournament money rankings.

The match referee, Alan Hurst stated that, "Accepting umpires` decisions is part and parcel of playing cricket and on this occasion Virat clearly showed dissent when he had been given out."

NBA Betting – Boston Celtics Value

The demise of the Boston Celtics has been written over and over this NBA betting offseason. It seems many are giving the Miami Heat the best basketball odds to reach the NBA finals. Did we miss something here? Aren’t the Celts bringing back, essentially, the same team that was a few points away from winning the title?

Boston has been called aging and finished by the critics for a couple of years now. Still, their veteran stars continue to perform at a high level. NBA odds are starting to skew towards the Heat and all of their new acquisitions. However, basketball bettors at Sports Betting shouldn’t overlook the Celtics.

Boston had a very quiet offseason. They re-signed both Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, two of their key veterans. Boston also managed to replace the retired Rasheed Wallace with Shaquille O’Neal. In Shaq, Boston loses some of the outside shooting ability that Wallace brought, but they now have less of a risk of technical fouls and they upgrade their rebounding ability. Boston was terribly outrebounded versus the Lakers in the final postseason game last year and knew they needed to correct that element.

Meanwhile, point guard Rajon Rondo continues to emerge for the Celtics. Each year, he becomes more critical to the Celtics success and his game becomes more well-rounded. If he can develop a reliable outside jump shot, Boston should be able to match up with anyone in the league, and yes, that includes the Miami Heat.

Right now the Celtics are a 10-1 shot to win the NBA title at the sportsbook. Now is the perfect chance to get in on those favorable future odds. With Miami and the Lakers listed as 6-4 co-favorites to win it all, the respect for Boston has waned considerably. Look for this experienced team to use this as motivation in their quest to get back to the finals and finish what they couldn’t this past June.
