This is the first time in sports betting history that the Pro Bowl has not been played in Hawaii. It’s also the first time in NFL odds history that the game will be played the week before the Super Bowl and not after. With so many changes going on in this year’s betting NFL all star game it’s good to know that some things will remain the same and that’s the fact that offense always trumps defense in the Pro Bowl.

Towards that end there are several things which must go right for the AFC to win this match of NFL wagering superstars. On defense the AFC squad must stop the big strike capabilities of WR DeSean Jackson and Miles Austin. These guys make their living making big plays downfield and have the stats to prove it.

There are many difficult challenges in sports betting but one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult game to handicap is the NFL Pro Bowl. Especially when the rosters are depleted by injuries and filled with only ‘above average’ players.

And since winning the game means so little most players who get to enjoy a fat bonus check and nice vacation whatever the result, there are untold variables that come into play. But if the NFC is going to win this edition of the NFL Odds all star game hosted in Miami there are few things that need to happen. Read more…

After 12 years as a professional QB in the NFL, Peyton Manning is well on his way to becoming the most prolific passer in the history of NFL odds. Over that time, he’s done more than any QB ever to play game, in terms of stats. However, with just one Super Bowl win and lifetime post season winning percentage in the NFL betting lines of just over .500, the playoffs have been his Achilles heel.

If Manning truly wants to go down as the greatest QB in the history of the NFL betting lines he needs to secure another Lombardi Trophy. Sure Manning will tell you that that type of individual recognition means little to him, and maybe it doesn’t, but you can bet he still wants to win the Super Bowl as much –and probably- more than anyone on that field.

Mark ‘Sanchize’ got off to a roaring start in his debut NFL season. Through the first three games of the season he was undefeated as a starter and the toast of the Big Apple. But it took just 12 quarters of tape on the kid for opposing defenses to shut him down. Since then he’s suffered through a humiliating 5 INT game in the NFL betting lines and basically had all trust in his ability evaporate.

But the New York Jets will not win the AFC Championship with Sanchez simply handing the ball off. Although he’s done very little to contribute to the Jest postseason NFL odds success up to this point, the Jets’ offense will have to get a bit more multi-dimensional to beat the Colts. Read more…

To no one’s surprise Peyton Manning won his unprecedented 4th NFL MVP award. He surpassed another playoff QB, Brett Favre, in the record books and now has won more of these awards than any other player in NFL betting lines history.

So what does that have to do with the NFL odds playoff action? Not much actually, but it’s a testament to the near-perfect level of football that the All-pro QB is playing and just another reminder that no one has been able to stop him this season. His numbers this year, as dazzling as they may be, (4,500 yards, 33 TDs, 16 INTs) were more or less average for this accomplished QB. Read more…
