NFL betting lines action will include a phenomenal matchup to begin the NFL sports betting preseason as perennial contender New England hosts world champion New Orleans Saints.

SBG Global Sportsbook opened with the New England Patriots as a 1.5-point home favorite over the New Orleans Saints with an over/under number of 36.

This matchup will draw considerable interest from gamblers and fans as it could very well be a preview of the Super Bowl in February at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. The Saints finished last year at 13-3 straight up and 8-8 against the spread with 9 games going under the total. New Orleans prolific offense was the best in the NFL for yardage and points.

Buffalo has never been known as a great sports town but the Bills had a great run during the 1990s when the they dominated NFL betting action qualifying for four straight Super Bowls, although they came up short every time. But since the retirement of the great Jim Kelly, the departure of Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith this team hasn’t had much to celebrate when it comes to NFL odds action.

This year probably won’t be much different in that regard as this team has plenty of weaknesses and only a few strengths. Almost every NFL betting guru is already picking this team to finish last in the AFC East, again. Granted, the Bills play in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL odds with the Pats, Dolphins and Jets all expected to contend for a spot in the playoffs this year, but the Bills wouldn’t be competitive in any division.

No team in the NFL betting action has had as turbulent of an offseason as the Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, maybe that’s not true. The Oakland Raiders’ football betting offseason has been the expected circus that it usually is but for the most stable of NFL betting franchises this year’s offseason has been cataclysmic for the 6-time Super Bowl betting champions.

The event that rocked this franchise as well as most of football betting was QB Ben Roethlisberger’s questionable behavior in a college bar in rural Georgia. His poor judgment earned the wrath of NFL Commissioner/God, Roger Goddell and earned him a 4-6 game suspension. Big Ben has been the engine behind the Steelers two recent Super Bowl betting wins and this team will sorely miss him when the 2010 NFL betting season opens up. Read more…

What did NFL betting star QB Carson Palmer do to deserve such misery? First, while leading his Cincinnati Bengals to their best record in years and looking to make a run at the Super Bowl, his knee is blown in out in a playoff game against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. And now, his team’s front office has unleashed the plague of Terrell Owens on his team.

Perhaps it’s not quite that bad, but if you’re a fan of football wagering you can’t help but feel a bit sorry at least in the back of your mind for this talented QB who can’t seem to catch a break. He’s already has to put up with Chad Ochocinco and now Owens too? Read more…

The NFL betting flood gates have been opened in the race to sign to the NFL’s 1st round picks. With the Dallas Cowboy’s 1st round pick, WR Dez Bryant agreeing to an $11.8 million 5-year contract and the levy has been cracked and a flood of signings by the top players chosen in the 2010 NFL draft should ensue.

With less than two weeks left before the NFL training camps begin and the football betting action just a month or so away, everyone from NFL betting fans, to team owners to coaches breathed a sigh of relief when the Bryant signing was announced. Read more…
