Undefeated NFL Teams Headbutt
The New England Patriots came calling on the Dallas Cowboys Sunday in a highly anticipated NFL showdown between two 5-0 teams. Oddsmakers had fun with this one. They knew it was going to be a good game and promised to show lots of action at the sportsbooks. The hype was intense, beginning with the sign Terrell Owens made up 3 weeks ago and posted on his locker for the media:
“Dear Reporters,
Due to the magnitude of this week’s game and high volume of questions for the Original 81 about the other 81. I will be taking all questions immediately following Sunday’s game.
Sincerely, Terrell Owens
p.s. Getcha Popcorn Ready.”
Randy Moss was the other 81 Owens was talking about, but the game didn’t really feature either Wide Receiver — Moss had 59 yards for New England while Owens had 66 for the Cowboys.
Tom Brady had a career day with 5 touchdown passes and, although the Cowboys did their best to stay in the game, the Patriots took control late in the 3rd Quarter. When the dust settled, the AFC Patriots had walloped the NFC Cowboys 48-27.
Vegas currently has New England favored 5 to 2 to win Super Bowl XLII with Indianapolis sitting in 2nd at 6 to 1. Those two teams get to play pigskin in Week 9 in a rematch of last year’s AFC Conference Game, which Indianapolis won 38-34 on their way to becoming Super Bowl XLI Champions. And you can bet there’s a good chance we’ll see another clash of the undefeateds. New England will probably be 8-0 by then while the Colts shouldn’t have a hard time arriving at game time with a 7-0 record.
SAFE BET – NHL BETTING
NHL games usually turn out the way they are supposed to. It’s learning how to bet and win on those occasions when they don’t that make you money. Here, I’ll talk about one of those times.
One of the biggest motivations for a team to win comes after they have suffered a thumping — they usually rebound with an inspired effort, and a win. So far this 2007-08 NHL season, 3 out 4 times a team got thrashed, they came back with a win. The other game resulted in a 1 goal loss, but the team still scored 5 times.
Obviously, you have to beware of games where the losing team gets to play a powerhouse team next time out. But even on those occasions, the odds will be inflated and the possible reward for taking the underdog will be huge.
Keep an eye on scores and next time you see a lop-sided loss, bet that team to rebound big time. Odds are that you will win your bet.
Falcons vs Giants
By Scott Burgess
Game: Mon, October 15, 2007 8:30 PM ET
BodogLife – UNDER 44
The Atlanta Falcons host the N.Y. Giants, at the Georgia Dome, for Monday Night Football.
The N.Y. Giants are looking for their fourth win in a row tonight. They might be in some trouble with WR Plaxico Burress injured. Burress is QB E.Mannings favorite receiver who’s caught 7 TD passes. WR S.Smith is out as well as RB D.Ward who is questionable. Rookie TE A.Ross had a great game against the Jets by returning two interceptions for touchdowns.
The Atlanta Falcons will have QB J.Harrington at the helm after B.Leftwich has been scratched because of an ankle injury. Returning tonight will be CB D.Hall who is one of the best corner coverer’s in the NFL. The Falcons don’t have much of a running game in W.Dunn and J.Norwood. Both runningbacks have a combined 1 touchdown. They’re getting good catches from R.White but none of them are leading to touchdowns, he’s only good for the long bomb with no payoff.
The Giants have the defense alone to stop the Falcons. QB Manning will be without his go to guy, Burress, and it’ll be up to other players to get points. The Falcons don’t have a lot of offense and will be held to minimal points. This will be a low scoring game, look for the score to be UNDER! To bet the NFL go to BodogLife now.
