Brett Favre Retires

"Brett Favre retires from gardening", the title of this post should say. In a week where NFL online betting fans have been following sports betting news sites more closely than presidential elections, the only news to come out of Brett Favre’s camp was that he fell off a tractor while tending to his oversized garden. Brett Favre is starting to get on the nerves of a lot of NFL fans, in addition to the already peeved off Minnesota Vikings.

Is Brett Favre possibly looking to make a “The Decision” sequel and follow Lebron James’ lead? Brett Favre is good, but his decision to or not to retire will not have that big of an impact of the NFL like Lebron James’ decision had on the NBA.

Brett Favre News

Aside from tractor injuries, inside reports are speculating that Brett Favre will make his announcement on whether or not he will retire next week as he is scheduled to see his doctor this week. For the latest NFL online betting news, be sure to come back here so we can bore you with news about Brett Favre.

NFL Preseason Online Betting

Now that we are officially underway in terms of NFL preseason online betting, now’s the time to find our sea legs and gauge how officials are making calls, and how players are performing, so that we can make better NFL online betting picks.

We have 3 NFL pre-season games to look forward to on Thursday which will have the Dallas Cowboys playing their second NFL preseason game in 5 days.

NFL Betting Previews

The New Orleans Saints will be heading into New England to face the Patriots. Online sportsbooks currently have the Patriots favored by -1 ½ points.

The Carolina Panthers will be facing the Baltimore Ravens. Online betting sites currently have the Ravens as -3 ½ point favorites.

Lastly, but definitely not least, we have the Oakland Raiders heading into Dallas to face the Cowboys. Online sportsbooks currently have the Oakland Raiders as +3 ½ point underdogs which is a pretty decent betting line for NFL preseason betting.

Terrell Owens A No Show

Well we all got a look at the Terrell Owens Show yesterday, including special guests Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco. Just like this season’s premiere of Entourage, the Terrell Owens Show was a tad overrated. Although it did seem like Carson Palmer was trying to pass the ball to Terrell Owens every chance he got, the only nice catch Owens made was negated due to a Chad Ochocino penalty. How ironic is that?

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 16-7, which went well under the projected Over/Under betting line of 32.5 points. That’s the thing with these NFL pre-season betting games; they always go under the projected totals.

Bengals NFL Betting Predictions

Although the Bengals first NFL pre-season game this season felt more like a loose practice, it is expected that Owens and Palmer will undoubtedly experience some growing pains as they look to get their groove back like Stella. I’m predicting that the Cincinnati Bengals go 10-6 this NFL betting season, which will be more than enough to secure them a playoff birth.

NFL Possibly Moving to an 18 Game Schedule

I couldn’t find any pictures to represent the new proposed NFL 18 schedule, so instead I figured I would treat you guys to a picture of the Miami Dolphins’ cheerleaders. I guess you could say that if the new 18 game schedule is approved by the NFL, you will get to see a lot more of NFL cheerleaders, which also means they will be working less at strip clubs.

For the last couple of months there has been a big debate going on between NFL owners, players, news reporters, critics and fans about the proposed 18 game NFL season, but everybody might as well save their breath because it is going to happen 100%.

NFL Betting Schedule

I for one welcome the extended season proposal which means that pre-season games will turn into regular season games that actually mean something and will be worth watching. Everybody knows that betting on the NFL pre-season is so unpredictable and only moneyline betting odds are safe bets to make during pre-season games. I guess the only people who might not like the extended season would be the players who will have to work an extra 2 days a year, but I say if you love what you do, what’s an extra 2 days if it means it will generate more revenue for the vendors who work at the games, the small pubs who only get business on game day and the cheerleaders that just want to make a living dancing with their tops on.

Ben Roethlisberger Breaks His Silence

In the above picture Ben Roethlisberger is not judging a contest to see who has the best microphone, however it is the first time he has spoken with the media since his sexual transgressions. I’m getting sick of writing about the Ben Roethlisberger saga, and I’m sure you guys are getting sick of reading it so moving forward this will be the last time we talk about it, unless of course there is nothing else to talk about!

NFL Online Betting News

Ben Roethlisberger’s publicist has just recently announced that Ben will not be sharing his side of the story with reporters after practices, after games, or in any press conferences this year, but he does want to tell his side of the story on a grand scale in front of a larger audience.

Rumors have recently been speculated that Roethlisberger will be telling his story on either Larry King Live or the Oprah Show. As much as I love NFL news stories, I’m not sure how many NFL football fans are going to be interested in watching Roethlisberger shedding tears on the Oprah Show in between commercial breaks for tampons and women’s deodorant. Unless Oprah is giving out NFL betting odds or betting picks, you can count me out.
