FOOTBALLPOOLS.COM Predict and win

Sportech is a familiar name to the seasoned gambler since it happens to be one of the UK’s oldest established gaming companies, providing and facilitating football pools and online sports betting. Founded in 1923 this company enjoys a regular playing customer base of an estimated 750,000 players and a weekly jackpot of up to £3 million on its football prediction games.

Footballpools.com is a new service offered by Sportech to provide exciting and, indeed more importantly, very lucrative football prediction gaming opportunities. The two most valuable games that are available from FootballPools.com these days are Premier 10 and Footy 15. Both these games have made sensational payouts estimated up to £1.25m just since the start of the season late last summer, so you can bet that this record won’t stand there for very long. The outline of the games are relatively simple to understand and straightforward to explain. In the game Premier 10, players bet on ten Premier League matches, in a simple win, lose or draw outcome the prizes are awarded according to the category the players bet falls in at the end. In Footy 15 games, the exact same format is applied, except this time the players will bet on matches from all over the UK and Europe. The premier 10 game has rewarded and given out a huge amount of £500,000 in cash prizes. In contrast the Footy 15 has seen prizes of £850,000 dished out. These games are therefore an attractive proposition to the ardent gambler. Along with the monetary benefits there have been many non-cash prizes given away too.

However football pools isn’t your standard run of the mill gambling spot. There is more to what meets the eye when talking about this particular organization. Football pools pride itself on standing out of the crowd and most proudly do this by supporting the local community. Though not known to many football pools has given out over £1.1bn to different causes like sports, arts and charity over the past few decades. So whether you win or lose, football pools ensure that every time someone plays a percentage it goes back to the community. Perhaps the most appropriate way to look at sportstech has been described by the CEO of the company himself, who stated that the games were designed to allow football fans to have fun and test their knowledge, not to mention making some money in the process. This season they have already given out over £1.25million on their new games, which is a distinctive amount to have paid out.

AFC Championship Game Betting Preview

The best two defenses in the NFL Football will face on Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens visit Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game. The two teams met twice during the regular season and Pittsburgh won two hard fought games by a combined score of 36-29.

Football Playoff Schedule

AFC Championship Game
Baltimore Ravens (13-5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (13-4)
Sunday, 6:30 pm Eastern – CBS

Steelers comes into Sunday’s game playing as well as they have all season. They beat San Diego last week, running the ball 42 times in the victory. They could have similar success against a Baltimore defense that let Tennessee run up and down the field on them last week. The Titans turned the ball over three times in the red zone which cost them the game. The Steelers are unlikely to make the same mistakes that Tennessee did. That means Baltimore will have to score points to stay in this game. Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco will need to avoid mistakes and hit some big plays for Baltimore to win.

NFC Championship Game Betting Analysis

With their fifth NFC Championship game appearance in the last eight years the Philadelphia Eagles play at Arizona on Sunday. Unfortunately for Philadelphia, they won only one of those previous four games. The Arizona Cardinals on the other hand are making their first ever appearance in the NFC Championship. They are also the first-ever #4 seed to host a championship game. NFL online bettors are taking Eagles on the Road.

NFC Betting Lines: Eagles – 3 , Total 48

The Cardinals finished the regular season poorly but they have turned things around in the NFL playoffs. They defeated a talented Atlanta team in the Wild Card round and last week upset Carolina at home as a ten point underdog.

Philadelphia defeated Arizona earlier this season by a score of 48-20 but that game was in Philadelphia. The Eagles have played well on the road in the playoffs, defeating Minnesota in the Wild Card round and the Giants in last week’s divisional round.

The NFL betting keys to Sunday’s game could be injuries. Philadelphia running back Brian Westbrook is playing hurt and Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin is also expected to play with his hamstring injury after sitting out last week’s win over Carolina. Westbrook had 110 yards rushing against Arizona in their first meeting but he has not looked healthy recently. He has just 74 yards in the playoffs on 38 carries.

Here are the NFL internet betting stats for Sunday’s game. The Eagles are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 playoff road games. The Eagles betting shows 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. The Eagles are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings against Arizona.

The Cardinals betting shows 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in January. The Cardinals are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Cardinals are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.

NFC Betting Lines: Eagles – 4 , Total 47

The NFL betting Under is 5-0-1 in the Eagles last 6 playoff games as a favorite. The Under is 4-0 in the Eagles last 4 road games. The Under is 19-7-1 in the Eagles last 27 games as a road favorite. The Over is 5-1 in the Cardinals last 6 games as a home underdog. The NFL betting Over is 19-7 in the Cardinals last 26 home games. The Over is 36-17 in the Cardinals last 53 games overall. The Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Arizona between the two teams.

AFC Playoff Wild Card Betting Preview

The most interesting game on Wild Card weekend occurs on Saturday night as the San Diego Chargers host the Indianapolis Colts. Both teams are playing great football of late as the Colts have won their last nine games while the Chargers have won their last four. This is the second straight season the teams are meeting in the playoffs as last year the Chargers eliminated the Colts 28-24 at Indianapolis. SBG Global reports that early NFL playoff betting has the public taking Colts on the Road.

NFL Playoffs Schedule

Indianapolis Colts (12-4) at San Diego Chargers (8-8)
Saturday, 8:00 pm Eastern – NBC

AFC Wild Card Betting Lines: Colts – 1.5 , Total 51

The Chargers are very fortunate to be in the playoffs at all. No NFL team had ever made the playoffs after starting 4-8 but the Chargers won their final four games while the Denver Broncos collapsed, losing their last three. San Diego became the first team since 1985 to win a division with a .500 record.

Indianapolis is led by Peyton Manning who threw for over 4,000 yards again this season. In his last nine games he threw for 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions.
