January 7 - Following a pretty mediocre final week of the regular NFL
season, NFL football betting fans are keen for some football that actually
matters. Online sports betting, casino and poker operator Bodog.com has posted
the odds...
"Although the regular season had its fine moments, the playoffs are when
football gets truly exciting," says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of
Bodog.com. "With the unprecedented success rate of favorites,
Bodog.com bookmakers had their work cut out to balance the action. Now it's
time for the playoffs, so there's no rest for the weary."
With a 12-4 regular-season record, the Jacksonville Jaguars meet the New
England Patriots (10-6) Saturday evening in Foxboro, Mass. Early betting action
has been on the Patriots, who are 7.5-point favorites. The Jaguars, who are
expecting the return of quarterback Byron Leftwich, face an uphill battle
against the two-time defending Super Bowl champions.
The other Saturday game showcases a duel between two great football minds.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden leads his Buccaneers (11-5) against the
Redskins (10-6) and coach Joe Gibbs. Early action has been on Tampa Bay , which
opened as 3-point favorites.
On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals (11-5) play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers
(11-5). Bookmakers, citing home-field advantage, originally opened lines with
the Bengals as 1-point favorites. Bettors, clearly unimpressed with the Bengals'
recent performances, responded by betting heavily on the Steelers. The current
line sees the Steelers as 3-point favorites.
Also on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers (11-5) visit the New York Giants
(11-5). The Giants will rely on running back Tiki Barber to carry their offense
while hoping their defense can contain the Panthers' star receiver, Steve Smith.
Bodog.com bookmakers opened the Giants as 3-point favorites.
