Week 1 NFL Picks, Predictions vs. the Point Spread

There are a lot of flashy wide receivers in the NFL today that seem to make more headlines for opening their mouth than actually producing on the football field. Even though the quarterback takes the bulk of the responsibility for wins and losses and is the undisputed leader on the gridiron, the wide receiver position still seems to get a lot of attention having outspoken and very controversial players.

One of the most controversial players ever to play the wide receiver position in the NFL is Terrell Owens and once again he is looking for a new team this offseason.

There is no doubting that T.O. is amongst the best players to ever play the game and could single handedly swing NFL picks in his team’s favor with his presence on the field, but as he has started to show signs of age and continues to bring baggage with him, NFL teams haven’t exactly been knocking down his door.

Even though Terrell Owens still remains unsigned up to this point in the NFL offseason, there are quite a few teams that are interested in signing the Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver. Surprisingly enough, some of these teams are amongst the best in the league.

Here are Terrell Owens possible destinations next season:

Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers

Alabama Crimson Tide College Football Picks, Predictions vs. the Point Spread

The last time we saw Alabama, they were rolling over Texas in the National Championship game. If you are making college football picks this year, then you need to look to the future, not the past. What matters going forward is how well the Crimson Tide will play in 2010, especially in the early going. So what do you need to know about Alabama coming into 2010? It is difficult to pin down the team exactly, but some important trends might help you understand the team’s value going into next year. As the national champion, they figure to be overvalued early.

Making college football picks has a lot to do with value. Finding undervalued assets will give you a chance to win over the long haul, which should be the goal of every bettor. Though you shouldn’t just go into 2010 betting against Alabama, be wary of laying large spreads with them. Last season, the Tide ran into some close games as they marched toward the National Championship. They were not nearly as dominant as you might remember them, and if they are pegged with large spreads this season, they will have a hard time covering on a regular basis.

As for the team itself, they have to replace some important pieces. Gone are parts of the offensive line, the defense’s best player, and the starting quarterback. McElroy has moved on and though he wasn’t great, the Tide will have to break in someone new once again. They should still be strong under the leadership of Nick Saban, but don’t expect this team to roll over people in the traditional way. Be on the lookout for early chances to bet against Alabama, especially when they head into difficult SEC venues. The SEC West should be more difficult this season, and challenges against Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas are looming.

2010 USC College Football Picks & Predictions

USC College Football Picks & Predictions vs. the Point Spread

Every now and then, a team has been overrated for so long that the worm has to turn. They go from overrated to underrated in a flash. This will ultimately correct itself, but there are opportunities for people to make some money in the mean time. Since we all want to make money with our college football picks, it pays to know when these opportunities are upcoming. USC figures to be one of those underrated teams coming into 2010 for a number of reasons. The Trojans have long been a favorite of bettors and their lines have reflected this, but a sub-par ending to 2009 have provided an opportunity for bettors to prosper.

Bet 2010 USC College Football Picks & Predictions

So why does USC present a solid opportunity for bettors and their college football picks? Just look at last year’s bowl season for a perfect example. The Trojans entered their matchup with an undermanned Boston College team as short favorites and covered the number easily. They were more talented than the Eagles and better prepared, yet the line did not reflect this. USC fell on hard times last year, but they still have as much talent as any team in the country. Additionally, they have a new regime that is likely to be undervalued, as well.

Lane Kiffin is a solid coach and though he might not be Pete Carroll, he is more than capable. The Trojans return a talented quarterback who go his feet wet in 2009, and they have a stable of skilled players to help him out. While the Trojans struggled, the rest of the Pac-10 gained some acclaim. Oregon figures to be overhyped along with Stanford. Arizona and Oregon State are likely be fare worse than their projections would indicate. This sets up perfectly for USC bettors, as you will get some excellent lines early in the year.

Clemson Tigers College Football Picks, Predictions & Odds

Clemson Tigers College Football Picks, Predictions & Odds

When making college football picks this coming season, you should understand that some teams have their own identities. One team that handicappers have had a hard time with in the past is Clemson. The Tigers are the kind of team that can frustrate gamblers to no end, since their play is so erratic from week to week. In one week, they can look like the next national champion. In the next, they can look like a bottom feeder in the ACC. So what do you need to know about these Clemson Tigers to make your college football picks next season?

Bet Clemson Tigers Football Predictions & Picks

First and foremost, know that they will be without star C.J. Spiller for the first time in a long time. On top of that, Clemson will be replacing a few key pieces on its offensive line. Clemson does return its quarterback and quite a few wide receivers, but many of its primary playmakers are gone. Leading pass catchers Michael Palmer and Jacoby Ford graduated, leaving a huge hole to be filled. That should lead to some serious issues on the  offensive side of the ball for Clemson. Be prepared for that and allow your college football picks to reflect that fact when college football betting .

What will Clemson do well? They should play good defense in defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s second season. With potential first round draft pick DeAndre McDaniel returning for his senior season and lots of depth along the defensive line, look for the Clemson defense to be incredibly stingy. Though this defense had a great year in 2009, it appears that it may be slightly undervalued coming into 2010. What that means for you is that the under is probably the play in early Clemson games. Know that points will be few and far in-between, as others will pick up on this later.

2010 Philadelphia Eagles Future Bets & Prop Bets

Philadelphia Eagles Future Bets & Prop Bets

Last season the Philadelphia Eagles looked like a team on the rise once again as everything seemed to be clicking for Andy Reid’s squad and a possible NFC East title was on the horizon!

– > 2010 Bet Philadelphia Future Bets < –

Not only did the Eagles have their sights set on destroying the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants in order to clinch another NFC East title, but some people even considered them to be Super Bowl contending as the offense and defense looked good enough to go the distance.

Throughout the season the Eagles had different highs and lows, but they were still favored in many NFL picks throughout the year.

The one thing that was heavily speculated heading into last season was the battle of the quarterbacks as all three of the Eagles QBs were legitimate Pro Bowl caliber gunslingers. Despite a debate on which QB would remain the starter in Philly, Donovan McNabb dominated the competition and was the starter for the most of the season.

Even though the Eagles season had a good season last year, Philly decides to finally part ways with their superstar quarterback Donovan McNabb and traded him to the Washington Redskins of all teams.

Now the Eagles will have young quarterback Kevin Kolb replaces McNabb as the starter in Philly and in my opinion the Eagles success will rest solely on the arm of Kolb.
