Best NFL Predictions For Week 6

Filed under: Articles, Betting Previews, NFL Football — Tags: , — Will Curl @ 1:18 pm

Week 6 of the NFL season will be kicking off this weekend.  A few surprise teams have established their identities early but do they have enough fuel in the furnance to maintain their leads?

The Denver Broncos are one of those surprise teams and they take their 5-0 AFC West lead to the home of the division rivals San Diego Chargers who are 2-2.  This is one of those rare times when the odds are against a 5-0 team.  The Chargers are favored by 3 even though they lost to the Steelers in their last outing.  The Chargers can put points on the board but they do most of it trying to catch up.  I have to admit that the Broncos are playing consistent football right now.  I am calling for an upset here. (Yes Cody I am picking Denver)  My pick:  Broncos 17-14

The 5-0 NFC Central leading Minnesota Vikings go on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens who are 3-2.  Everyone is calling this close.  The odds right now are the Vikings by 3.  The Vikings have the compete package this year.  The only question in most minds is how long can QB Brett Farve hold up.  I said it before training camp that if Farve went to the Vikings they would be hard to beat.  I stick with that prediction.  My pick:  Vikings 21-16

Another big game that most all calling close is the battle of the undefeated in New Orleans where the 5-0 NFC East leading New York Giants take on the 4-0 Saints who lead the NFC South.  The Saints are favored by 3.  The Giants are solid.  They play good defense, they run the ball well and QB Eli Manning has finally found his niche.  The Saint led by QB powerhouse Drew Brees can put a ton of points on the board very quickly.  My pick:  Saints 27-20

Finally we will talk about the Sunday night game between the 3-1 Chicago Bears and the 3-1 Atlanta Falcons.  Both are in second place in their respective divisions.  The Falcons are favored by 3.  As I have said many times in the past, I don’t pick the easy ones.  The Bears have been simply getting by.  They have averaged 25 points on offense but have given up almost 20.  The Falcons have averaged 25 on offense as well but given up only 15 against better teams.  The Falcons lost to New England while the Bears fell to Green Bay in the opener.  My pick:  Falcons 26-17

Those are the toughest match ups I see this week.  In addition I like the Chiefs over the Redskins, the Texans over the Bengals, Steelers over the Browns (sorry Jerry), the Jags over the Rams, Panthers over the Bucs, Packers over the Lions, Eagles over the Raiders, Seahawks over Cardinals, Jets over the Bills and the Patroits over the Titans.  Until we meet again may your betting get better and remember to always be a good sport.

BetUs $100,000 2009 March Madness

Filed under: Articles, Betting Promotions — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 11:50 am

THE  Bet Us $1,000,000 MARCH MADNESS BRACKET IS BACK.

March is here, and that means college basketball’s 2009 March Madness is just about to begin. College basketball fans wait every March for the tradition, excitement and upset that make up the Madness of the NCAA Basketball tournament. Office pools become a big hit, and are usually won by the office geek or a female making picks based on a team’s uniform colors, but real fans know that big money brackets are what is really important.

BetUs.com March Madness and brackets go together like tortilla chips and salsa, and BetUS have just launched the mother of all March Madness brackets: a $1,000,000 bracket—that’s right, a one million dollar March Madness bracket.

There are lots of different ways to complete your March Madness bracket, but using logical techniques will greatly enhance your odds on winning that one million dollars. First round games are interesting and there are nearly always upsets. It may be tempting to take the highest seeded teams in the early rounds, as they’re usually favored by big numbers and point spreads don’t play a factor in bracketology, but don’t be fooled. There is always a Cinderella story—a low seeded team that makes it through to the last 16 (known as Sweet 16) or the Final Four. George Mason were the Cinderella story a few years back as they went on to stun top-seeded perennial powerhouse Connecticut with an 86-84 overtime victory to make the Final Four. It was the first team from the Colonial Athletic Association ever to make it that far during March Madness.

When it comes to the polls, it is nice for a team to be ranked as one of the best 25 teams in the nation, but by no means is it a real indicator of where a team truly stands. A good example is of this is LaSalle; in 1990 they entered the tournament with a 29 – 1 record in and lost in the second round of the tournament to Clemson.

Here are a few historical points of interest:

  • Since the NCAA started seeding teams in 1979, only once have all four # 1 seeds made it to the National Semifinals (Final Four); this was in 2008 when Kansas, North Carolina, Memphis, and UCLA made the cut.
  • At least one # 1 seed has made the Final Four in every year except: 1980 and 2006.
  • A # 16 seed has never beaten a # 1 seed since the field was expanded to 64 teams (now 65). Do not be the one person in your pool to rest your hopes on College of Charleston being able to upset the University of Connecticut.
  • When it comes to the # 15 seed, teams have had very little success as well. Only 4 teams have been able to knock off the # 2 seed in the first round of the tournament.
  • A smart thing to do when filling out your bracket, is to make sure to follow the college basketball game odds and let that be an indicator as to which is the favorite team according to the oddsmakers. If a # 1 seeded team is favored by 25 points or more over a much lower seed, it’s a pretty safe bet the big favorite will win the game. But always keep in mind: there will always be upsets, and that’s a fact.

Knowing when to select the underdogs is the key to a winning bracket. Again, follow the odds, because oddsmakers are sharp and more times than not they’re correct. Use games with lines of ten points or less to select your underdogs. These games usually feature the middle-seeded teams. There is a much greater chance that a team favored by ten points or less will get upset against a team favored by 25 or more.
If you can’t be bothered following the lines then you could just pick the stronger mascot, when you don’t know anything about the teams, look at their mascots; you could make a pick based on each mascot—in a fight to the death, which would win, a duck or a lion? Otherwise just do what my sister does—make a pick on the team’s uniform colors.

Whatever your method for choosing your bracket, get in on the action this March, download the BetUS printable March Madness bracket and enter the one million dollar March Madness Bracket contest. Print it out and use it as your March Madness office bracket, as your Sweet 16 bracket or as your Final Four bracket during the most famous of college basketball tournaments.
