Pats Have their Chance At Revenge
The New England Patriots entered the season pegged as the favorite to win the Super Bowl across the top sportsbooks. So far, the Patriots have failed to disappoint. Even while Tom Brady was serving his 4-game suspension, New England had no difficulty winning their games. Once Brady came back, the Patriots took off and sailed to unimaginable heights. Since Brady came back, New England has won three straight, and they’ve also outscored their opponents 95-46. Scoring twice as many points as your opponent is certainly one way to grab the league’s attention, and this impressive streak further solidifies the Patriots status as Super Bowl favorites.

Can the Falcons Rally Against the Pack?
Entering Week 7, Matt Ryan coruscated bright above every other quarterback in the NFL. Through the first half of the season, Ryan proved himself as the one gunslinger most worth your bet on NFL money lines. No other quarterback had a higher QBR than Matt Ryan, but after this past weekend’s game against the San Diego Chargers, Ryan has fallen to the No. 2 spot for quarterback efficiency. But was the loss against the Chargers really on Ryan’s shoulders?

Jaguars Racing to Tennessee to take on Titans
Even though the NFL has seen a decline in its ratings and popularity, the top sportsbooks are still priming up more lines for professional football than one would care to count. The NFL has desperately been trying to pull in more fans, even going as far as to schedule games overseas. How successful has the NFL’s international efforts been? Well, of the 4 Britons that I spoke with this past weekend (through the wonder of online gaming) not a single one had tuned into this past weekend’s London matchup, let alone even know that there were NFL games happening within the United Kingdom. In the end, the contest between the Rams and the Giants wasn’t the most riveting, but those who tuned in got to a lesson from Case Keenum on how to not be a good quarterback.
2016’s World Series MLB Betting Preview
Entering the 2016 MLB betting season, the top sportsbooks had the Chicago Cubs pegged as the favorites to win this year’s World Series. Several months down the line, the Cubs have failed to disappoint and are on their way to proving several preseason predictions true. Coming into the season, there were plenty of reasons to jump onto the Cubs bandwagon, but seeing Chicago pull through is still a momentous occasion. After all, the last time the Cubs made the World Series was back in 1945, and the last time they won it was in 1908. You know, the year of the Tunguska event. So to say that the city of Chicago is ecstatic would be an understatement, especially when considering the horrors they’ve had to endure at the hands of the city’s NFL team.
