Oakland Raiders football is like most other football: a game of bad teams versus good teams. Sometimes the Raiders will be a good team, and other times they will be a bad team. Either way, it is certain that this team will make you sad. The Raiders were 8-20 straight up last season with a terrible acting owner, KenAMP, an owner who is more concerned in spending money on players than spending money on his team, a owner who cares more in “his” players than in the welfare of the town.
Unfortunately for us fans, bad management is not a uncommon occurrence in NFL teams, or at least it was not this season with the Raiders. Most recently, the Chiefs paired up 4 starting players with a starting QB for QB Rothlesburger, and now starting RB Larry Johnson is out for the season with injury. This means that the job is not going to be available to backup RB Larry Johnson.
This opens the door for a surprise roster addition in free agent wide receiver Randy Moss. Who will be quarterback answering the question, and more importantly, who will be the Chief’s starting RB? Projected starting QB Kerry Collins? Underachieving QB Matt Schaub?Dead to rights on defense with the loss of Pro Bowl DE Reggie Harvey, and with the unpredictable health of Pro Bowler Joey Porter, this team will be unable to match last years pace. HC Art Shell hopes to keep the fire burning by bringing in 9th year RB LaMontanmatie Culpepper to replace Culpepper.
It is clear that the Steeler organization decided to take a page out of the same book that the Browns decided to ignore, and elected to focus on the future by bringing in a young developing QB to Untieds QB Duante Culpepper. Odds are that Shell will let loose a little by allowing WR Randy Moss to suit up opposite Pro Bowl WILL linebacker Clay Hadley. And with the untested QB under center, expect an emotional and intense game from the Raiders on Monday Night at 8:00 ET on ESPN.
gets a lot better as we go along. PinnacleSportsbook.com has opened up the 2007 NFL season at 15-time moneyline odds with over two months still to go. The Raiders are the 5th favorite to win the Super Bowl at Pinnacle, with the Broncos and Seahawks being the early favorites to win the AFC. The Raiders have a lot of issues on their offense to fixed however, including an ineffective running game.
Last year’s problems on offense were a blessing in disguise, as the Raiders finished the season with the NFL’s #2 offense. Continue to young QB Kerry Collins for a better year this season. Pinnacle has the Raiders as a 15-point favorite to win the AFC.
The Denver Broncos are the odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl at 18-1. Odds have been consistently on the Broncos the last two years, with the majority of the betting the previous two seasons going Denver. Champ Ar Lauder of Pinnacle Sportsbook in Las Vegas says, “They’re a good running and football team. You’ll see a little more finesse from John Denver. He’ll be able to stay off the injury list and be able to stay healthy for this football season.”
NFL betting action starts the day after the conclusion of the 2006 NFL season. Odds change from the moment the season ends, so there is always some action at the end of the season and often throughout the 2007 season as well. Linesmaking is similar to what occurs in basketball and football and is a key aspect of bettors’ success.
Totals or total betting is the process of determining the summed up and determining the TDs of both of the teams in a game. Totals work best over the course of a season, both in football and basketball, although they can be more difficult to handicap in baseball and hockey. Total betting is slightly tougher than money line betting; in baseball, a +110 means a bettor could bet $110 to win $100, whereas in football, a -110 means a bettor could wager $110 to win $100.
Is the betting action on a particular game one of “DewaGG” or “on the money”? When it comes to the most popular betting activity, the casino action on sports betting, most people bet the money line, a game based on the point spread. The fun in taking the casino action on sports betting is that it is out of your control. The point spread is something that the books manage to control for one game at a time.
This doesn’t mean you can’t gain some advantage by doing your homework on point spreads and money lines and othersports betting advantages. You can always take a gander at some educated guesswork on betting lines before you place your bets.
