AFC Division Winners in 2010

NFL betting has already started at many sportsbooks online in anticipation for the upcoming season in two weeks. NFL betting lines have opened for fans to predict the winners of each division. Here are our picks to win each division in the AFC in 2010.

AFC East: New England Patriots

The Patriots will be looking to win another AFC East division title this decade. Yes we know this is the safest bet of that division, however with so many unknowns in New York and Miami, it is always best to go with the Patriots.

Many over our colleagues are taking the Jets, because of rumours surrounding Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s contract. From all reports, Brady is healthy and with Wes Welker making amazing progress from knee surgery, look for the Patriots to be their dominant selves.

On the other hand, although we believe the Patriots to be the AFC East Champions again, do not expect it to be easy for the defending division champs at all. As we noted above, the Dolphins and Jets have improved tremendously. Meaning to say it may come down to the wire as to who wins the division.

AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals and Ravens were the two busiest teams in the North this offseason. Even though the Ravens are historically seen as the better team, we see the Bengals as repeating as division champions. Essentially, the Bengals have finally added depth and a secondary passing option to spread the ball out from Ocho. By doing so, the Bengals appear to be deadly at both the rush and pass for the first time since the Esiason Wood years.

AFC South: Houston Texans

In a division absolutely dominated for the last 10 years by the Indianapolis Colts, we finally see a changing of the guard. That’s right sports fans, the Houston Texans will emerge as the AFC South champions this year, due in large part to the strong play of Matt Schaub. The Texans actually have depth at quarterback too, something that the Colts do not. The Texans absolutely dominated in their wins last year something that the Colts did not do.

What’s more, we also see the Texans finally breaking the winless drought against the Colts.

AFC West: San Diego Chargers

Perhaps the easiest pick, with all three other teams in the division still in rebuild mode, the Chargers were a simple choice. They won’t go far in the playoffs, but they’ll win the division no less.
 
NFC Division Winners
The National Football League is viewed as the North American betting sports organization most dominated by parity. That is to say that unlike the other three major sports on the continent, which are baseball, basketball, and hockey, football is the one where the least amount of separation exists from top to bottom. The obvious result of this would be new winners every season, and unlike the AFC in recent years, the NFC has carried that trend. So who will win their respective NFC divisions in 2010?

No NFL betting team has won the NFC East in consecutive seasons since the Eagles did it four straight times from 2001-04, and after they lost in the Super Bowl that final year, Philadelphia has won the division just once. The Cowboys reigned supreme in 2009, the Giants in 2008, making the Redskins the only NFC East team in the past ten years that hasn’t won the division. That trend will continue for at least another year, as the Giants return to the top as NFC East winners in 2010.

The Minnesota Vikings have won the NFC North in consecutive seasons, and with Brett Favre returning to the club, the Vikings should be back on top barring injury. The Atlanta Falcons were runners up to the Carolina Panthers two years ago, and to the Saints in 2009, but this may finally be the year that Atlanta gets their due. Meanwhile, after consecutive years of the Cardinals taking first place in the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers will take their turn at the top.
 
How To Bet On Boxing?

Aside from horse racing, betting enthusiasts have enjoyed betting on boxing since the beginning of the 1800s. Over the two centuries since, boxing and betting have almost become synonymous and for a short time in the 1970s and 1980s they were synonymous. From Ali-Forman to Holyfield-Tyson to the highly rumored Pacquiao- Mayweather, fans have enjoyed the luxury of wagering on their favorite fighters.

Similar to baseball in the early 1920s, boxing underwent its fair share of scandal as in the 70s some fights were seen as fixed while others had terrible judging. However over the last 15 years boxing has come back to dominance. Today we talk about how to bet on boxing, for fans new and old to learn how to wager on the sweet science.

Also similar to baseball, boxing uses the moneyline wagering technique when being bet upon by the public. Same as baseball, the odds are placed next to the two fighter's names, with the only difference being that a draw can occur in a boxing match. A money line for boxing would look like this

Jim Bob - 200
Pete Rossi +150
Draw +2000

Essentially how this works is, that bettors picking the favorite Jim Bob, are being asked to wager $200 in order to get $100 back. Bettors wagering on the underdog Rossi are requested to put down $100 in order to get $150 back. Finally, gamblers who can't decide on Rossi or Bob to win the fight and believe it will end in a draw, are required to put down $100 in order to get $2000 back if the fight does indeed finish in a draw.

Fans wagering on Rossi need him to win the fight in order to collect on their wager, same for Bob. However if they end in a tie, the house wins and both the wagers on Rossi at $100 and Bob at $200 are used to payout fans who chose a draw as an outcome.
