Football Betting Lines

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Canadian Football League fullback Warren Hudson passed away Thursday at the age of 49. Hudson played nine seasons in the Canadian Football League, spending three seasons (1990-1993) with the Blue Bombers. In the 1990 Grey Cup, Hudson won top Canadian after recording 66 receiving yards and one touchdown, while also rushing for another.

 

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Canadian Football League will celebrate in 2012 the 100th Grey Cup championship, and the season will open on June 29 with a pair of games, including a rematch of the 2011 Grey Cup between Winnipeg and British Columbia. The Lions beat the Blue Bombers last November for the 99th Grey Cup title, and the teams will meet in Vancouver in the nightcap of the opening day doubleheader. The first game of the day, and the season, will pit Saskatchewan against Hamilton.

 

"We have so much planned for this year, to celebrate the true Canadian icon that is the Grey Cup, and share this historic milestone with our fellow Canadians," said CFL commissioner Mark Cohon. "It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate something that is uniquely ours, to celebrate how the Grey Cup has always brought us together as Canadians, and to celebrate simply being Canadian."

 

Another feature to the CFL schedule is Labour Day weekend, which opens on Friday, August 31 when BC visits Montreal. Saskatchewan will host Winnipeg on Sunday, September 2, before the traditional rivalry games between Toronto and Hamilton and Edmonton and Calgary on Monday.

 

Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Bengals hired former Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson as an assistant coach Friday. Jackson was fired by the Raiders in January following just one season as the team's head coach, finishing the year with an 8-8 record.

 

Also on Friday, the Bengals signed free agent running back Aaron Brown.

 

He also has 18 career receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown.

 

Regina, SK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Friday that veteran offensive lineman Gene Makowsky has retired. The 38-year-old finished his 17-year career as the franchise's all-time leader in games played.

 

The former second-round pick in 1995 accumulated multiple honors over the course of his career: CFL offensive lineman of the year in both 2004-05, a five-time league All-Star selection and a West Division All-Star team for seven consecutive years.

 

"Geno will go down as one of the greatest players in CFL history," said Riders assistant general manager Jeremy O'Day. "His toughness, work ethic, dedication and character were unmatched. It was an honor to have played with Geno and he made me a better player, a better person and I will be forever grateful for the time we spent as teammates."

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
