Football betting - NFC 2005 regular season

Gambling911.com releases its guide to football betting for the 2005 NFC regular season and some vital points of interest.

Miami Beach, Fla., (PRWEB) August 20, 2005 -- Gambling911.com, the internet's leading sports betting information web site, has come out with its comprehensive football betting guide for the 2005 regular season. Unlike most football guides, this one focuses on a team's potential to perform vs. odds of winning in their respective conference as posted by the online bookmakers.

Gambling911.com has identified the key teams for sports bettors to hone in on.

Dallas Cowboys - After spending $30 million in signing-bonus money to acquire quarterback Drew Bledsoe, defensive tackle Jason Ferguson, guard Marco Rivera and cornerback Anthony Henry in free agency, the Cowboys used six of eight draft picks on defensive players. They now have a power running game with Julius Jones, a bus-driver quarterback in Bledsoe and the ability to play Parcells' favored 3-4 defense. During the offseason, the Cowboys were transformed into a Parcells-like team for what could be the 64-year-old coach's final season. With odds of +1050 to win the NFC division at BetUS.com, there is definitely major value here. For every $100 bet, the potential payout is $1050!

Detroit Lions - They deserve a looksie here especially since the city hosts this year's Super Bowl and Jeff Garcia will be itching to play Quarterback and probably will start after the 3nd or 4th week.

But it is a quarterback controversy that could prevent Detroit from winning its respective division especially considering we like Minnesota at even odds. Still, there is the value component paying $5 for every $2 wagered at BetGameDay.com. Neither Green Bay or Chicago look to be hopefuls for winning in this Division in 2005.

When Steve Mariucci was named coach in 2003, he took over the oldest team in the NFC and one of the very slowest in the league. Now entering his third season in Detroit, Mariucci enjoys a roster chock full of players in the prime 26-30 range and excellent speed on both sides of the ball.

Minnesota Vikings - There are a few spots in which we like the Vikings. The NFC North Division odds pay out even at BetGameDay. The NFC Conference, however, features payout odds of 13 to 2 at BetGameDay.com (every $2 bet pays out $13 in other words and if you place a $100 future bet, the pay out would be $650 should Minnesota win the NFC Conference Championship). A long shot with terrific payout odds is Minnesota to win the 2006 Super Bowl XL with 15 to 1 odds at BetGameDay.com. $15 is paid out for every $1 bet. A $100 wager pays $1500 should Minnesota win the Super Bowl.

The Vikings worked hard during the offseason to become a more balanced team. As long as Culpepper is on the field, their offense should score more points than the average NFL team. More important, however, is whether the team’s new defensive starters can jell in time to make a serious championship run.

Even assuming the typical amount of injuries, the Vikings are the most talented team in the NFC North and should be disappointed if they do not make a significant playoff run. In fact, Tice’s future hinges on it.

Many of the NFL experts have Minnesota listed among the teams most likely to head deep into the Playoffs with a strong Super Bowl potential, especially considering the pre-season problems surrounding Philadelphia, a talented team that might not be able to overcome locker room rumblings.

Atlanta Falcons - We know there are quite a few players on the Falcons roster who now read Gambling911.com. They'll be happy to see that we list the Atlanta Falcons among out top "value" teams for football betting during the 2005 season.

The CNNSI report: When you have a first-year president/general manager, a rookie head coach and two new coordinators and you still advance to the NFC Championship Game, what do you do for an encore? If you’re the Atlanta Falcons, you try to keep bucking up the defense and get faster all the way around.

That clearly was the plan of president/GM Rich McKay and his staff in the offseason, when the Falcons made their lone big free agency score a big one by acquiring former Ravens linebacker Edgerton Hartwell and then drafted for defense and speed.

Now let's look at the online sportsbook payout odds listed by Betmaker.com.

The Atlanta Falcons are listed with near even odds of -150 to win their respective NFC South Division. They are +625 to win the NFC Championship Title. Placing money at one online bookmaker on the Vikings to win the NFC Championship and placing money at another online bookmaker like Betmaker.com on the Falcons to win the NFC Championship might be a wise proposition. Falcons Super Bowl chances are listed at +1500 odds (a $100 bet pays $1500).

If you had a $100 future bet on the Falcons at one online sportsbook and $100 future bet on the Vikings at another online sportsbook and one of these teams happens to win the NFC Championship Title (which is very likely at this point in time), you would still make out handsomely.

Place a future bet on the Atlanta Falcons here at Betmaker.com today eChecks and credit cards accepted plus top signup bonuses.

Arizona Cardinals - Despite their mediocrity over the years, 2005 looks promising for the Arizona Cardinals. First off, they play in a haphazard division where anything is possible. San Francisco sure isn't going anywhere this season and both Seattle and St. Louis are anybody's guess.

Arizona has decent payout odds of +215 listed at BetUS.com to win their respective division. Place this future bet here now on the Arizona Cardinals.

With the improvements Green has made to the team through both free agency and the draft in two seasons, the Cardinals suddenly have a chance to become a factor in the NFC West. The defense is the strength of this team. If either Warner or McCown can be a steady leader for the offense and the team can find a decent running game, the Cards should push for a division title.

Gambling911.com recommends opening online betting accounts with at least three bookmakers (sportsbooks) during the regular NFL season in order to get the most value when looking for odds. This is so that sports bettors can find the best line available (i.e. each book may offer a different line on the same game).
