BetUS - NFL Futures Betting
Okay BetUS NFL bettors, as we all know, it is
never too soon to begin preparation for a brand
new football betting season.
Just like most teams scout their opponents to
no end these days, this article will give bettors
the skinny on the top four teams in each conference
with my final pick being the 2007 Super Bowl
champion.
To Win Super Bowl XLII
Indianapolis Colts +800
The Colts are almost a lock to reach the AFC
Championship.
New England Patriots +275
The Patriots are the other lock for the AFC
title game.
San Diego Chargers +650
They’re talented but can they overcome
Norv Turner’s shortcomings?
Pittsburgh Steelers +2200
New head coach … not
gonna happen this year.
Cincinnati Bengals +2000
The Bengals are still dealing with too much
off-field nonsense and have too many character
issues to be a real threat in 2007.
Denver Broncos +1400
Watch out for Denver. Quarterback Jay Cutler
is going to be a star and the Broncos are loaded
on offense and not half-bad on the other side
of the ball too. A Super Bowl could happen, most
likely in 2008.
Seattle Seahawks +1800
Their window of opportunity
is closing – quickly.
If RB Shaun Alexander is not totally healthy,
it’s going to be a long season in the great
Northwest.
Kansas City Chiefs +6000
If head coach Herman
Edwards doesn’t run
Larry Johnson into the ground, the Chiefs could
make a run at the AFC championship – in
2009. Until then, save your money people.
Carolina Panthers +2000
Speaking of windows closing, the Panthers had
better start realizing that theirs is closing
quickly. Carolina could have a legitimate shot
at winning the NFC championship, but everything
will have to break just perfectly for them.
Dallas Cowboys +2000
I like the Cowboys a lot this year. They should
be solid on both sides of the ball and could
reach the Big Dance if quarterback Tony Romo
continues his eye-opening growth from a year
ago.
Washington Redskins +4000
I love Joe Gibbs – too bad the Redskins
have more holes than Swiss cheese. Unless Doug
Williams and ‘The Smurfs’ come out
of retirement, check back with the Skins next
year.
New York Giants +3000
It’s only a
matter of time before head coach Tom Coughlin
is shown the door. Until he is, stay away from
the G-Men.
Chicago Bears +1500
There is no doubt the Bears can reach the Super
Bowl, likely on the strength of the powerful
defense alone. However, the Bears will be offensively
challenged once again if Rex Grossman is the
starting quarterback.
Philadelphia Eagles +2000
Philly is another
team that bettors should think long and hard
about reaching the 2007 Super Bowl. A healthy
Donovan McNabb will get this team into the
postseason at the very least. Now if only the
Philadelphia faithful can inject the laid-back
McNabb with some of Jeff Garcia’s moxie.
New Orleans Saints +1800
The Saints were the
feel-good story of the league last season,
but proved they were for real over the long
haul and in the postseason. There is no reason
why this team shouldn’t contend
for the NFC Championship in 2007.
Baltimore Ravens +1800
The Ravens have the defense and a much-improved
offense. If quarterback Steve McNair can stay
healthy, the Ravens could find themselves playing
on the final weekend.
Here are the odds on a bunch of other team,
all of them pretenders, for the 2007 Super Bowl
title.
Jacksonville Jaguars +2400
Minnesota Vikings +5500
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +4500
Atlanta Falcons +4200
Miami Dolphins +5500
Oakland Raiders +15000
St. Louis Rams +5500
Buffalo Bills +9000
Cleveland Browns +9500
Detroit Lions +9000
Arizona Cardinals +3500
New York Jets +4000
Green Bay Packers +5500
Houston Texans +4000
Tennessee Titans +4000
San Francisco 49ers +3000
Best Bang For Your Buck With a Legitimate Chance:
Chicago Bears +1500
Baltimore Ravens +1800
Philadelphia Eagles +2000
New Orleans Saints+1800
Seattle Seahawks +1800
Dallas Cowboys +2000
Final Four in each conference are:
AFC: Colts, Patriots, Ravens, Broncos
NFC: Bears, Eagles, Saints, Cowboys
Conference
Champions: Patriots vs. Cowboys
Super
Bowl Winner: New England Patriots
Picking the Patriots is obviously the popular
pick this offseason, seeing as how they are absolutely
loaded on both sides of the ball after revamping
their roster this offseason.
While I think the
Colts could meet the Pats in the AFC title
game for a second consecutive season. I just
don’t see anyone beating
New England and Bill Belichick this season.
In the NFC, there
are several teams that could genuinely reach
next season’s Super Bowl,
including all four of my ‘Final Four’ teams.
Though I am arguably the biggest Dallas Cowboys
hater in the U.S., I am a big fan of new head
coach Wade Phillips, and think his presence in
the Big D this season could be enough to vault
this young team over the top.
So there you have it BetUS football bettors.
The 2008 Super Bowl winner will be the New England
Patriots.
