This Week in Betting, A to Z
by T.O. Whenham - 10/15/2007 A - Adrian Peterson. This guy's pretty good. Did anyone in the NFL more single-handedly lead his team to victory this week than Peterson (except maybe LaDainian Tomlinson, but we expect it from him even if he hasn't been at his best up to this point this year)? Twenty carries for 224 yards and three touchdowns. Not a bad ... read more

Football Adjustments
It was a wild football weekend last week, and the biggest surprise (in my handicapping lifetime) was USC losing 24-23 to Stanford as an incredible 39-point favorite (and the odds were even higher than that mid-week), ending the Trojans’ 35-game home winning streak. As far as odds are concerned, it was the biggest upset in college football history. ... read more

NFL: The "+3.5 Trap"
I want you to note each time a team is dogged by +3.5. I will give you 3 examples last Sunday as I think in football that is probably one of the toughest spreads to cover and the other odd spread is +5.5. But, let's focus on +3.5. Two weeks ago you saw three teams having that spread as home dogs and they won outright. You remember who they were? Cleveland ... read more

This Week in Betting, A to Z
by T.O. Whenham - 10/02/2007 A - Ageless. Brett Favre was the top passer in the league this week, and Green Bay continues to be the biggest surprise in the NFL. Bettors haven't started to completely believe in the team yet - they are 4-0 ATS, and they have covered easily each time, showing that the lines are softer than they need to be. The amazing ... read more

NFL Week 3 Review: Offenses Wake Up
Two weeks ago I wrote about how defenses are often ahead of the offense early in the NFL season, as it takes time for new offensive personnel to click. The under went 10-5 the first week of the NFL season, but that sure changed in Week 3. Offenses are beginning to click all over the league, and the overs started 11-3 this past weekend! Green Bay struck ... read more

The reason I stress to my clients that in order to be successful betting NFL games, you need to play as few games as possible is in part simply a matter of statistics.The more picks you bet, the worse your odds that you will come out ahead. Lets use as an example, our computer systems record from 1998 - 2006. In that time period, our system won 116 ... read more

San Diego Chargers and Norv Turner
This move hasn’t made any sense to me since they made it. The San Diego Chargers was one of the best teams in the NFL last year with Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer leading the way. We all know that Schottenheimer had his troubles when getting to the postseason but this guy is a top notch NFL Coach. He helped make this program a winner and then ... read more

We just started the pro and college football seasons and several teams are playing up to expectations: USC and LSU in college; the Cowboys, Colts, and Steelers in the NFL.

The NFL Report - September 19 2007
by Robert Ferringo - 09/19/2007 It's a good thing that I don't have dogs. After Week 2's frustrating end I have to say that I'm still steaming a bit. I'm especially angry with myself for some flat out ignorant plays (New Orleans), for not trusting my initial impression on what was going to be my top play (Green Bay) and for having the brains to stay ... read more

This week’s matchup could potentially tell us a lot about these two teams, as well as the NFC in general.Looking at Washington: Washington is coming off a great overtime ... read more

My two surprise teams this year are from the NFC - Detroit and St. Louis. Both teams should be able to score a lot of points and have successful years if their defenses improve.The NFC West is the toughest division to figure out. You can easily make an argument that any of the four teams could finish first or last in the division.It's only August, ... read more

by T.O. Whenham - 09/12/2007A - Adrian Peterson. 103 yards rushing and a 60-yard TD catch. Think this guy is going to be any good? If he keeps doing that, and Tavaris Jackson keeps paying basically acceptable football, then Minnesota and their solid defense could win more than expected. Of course, it would help if they could play the Falcons and the ... read more

2007 AFC West Preview
The Chargers won the West last year and finished with the best regular season record in the NFL. So, what did they do? Fired their coach of course! While I’ve never been a huge Schottenheimer fan, it’s hard to imagine him losing his job after going 14-2. Regardless, Marty is ancient history now and Norv Turner has been given the reigns.

Handicap NFL Quarterbacks Like Starting Pitchers
When wagering on MLB, the single most important handicapping factor to consider is each team's starting pitcher. At 68-45 the Boston Red Sox own the best record in the league, however, they're only winning at a 60.2% clip and their chances of winning any given game depends dramatically on whether it's Josh Beckett (15-6), Tim Wakefield (13-10) or Julian ... read more
