The Baltimore Ravens looked exceptional last Sunday, beating the heck out of the New England Patriots 33 to 14 in a hostile Gillette Stadium. The Ravens dominated the Patriots with a smash mouth running game and a stellar defensive performance.
Not only did Baltimore finally beat New England, they won their backers some serious cash as they came in as a 3 ½ point underdog.
The Ravens are an underdog again this Saturday when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Could the Ravens possibly upset another pre-season Super Bowl favorite?
Now this one of the match have lots of Online Betting in the NFL playoffs.
Baltimore averages over 213 yards per game through the air and 138 yards per game on the ground. In their game against the Colts during the regular season, the Ravens racked up over 350 total yards.
The key for Baltimore in this game is to get running backs Willis McGahee and the awesome Ray Rice off first. If McGahee and Rice can keep the Colts’ defense honest than QB Joe Flacco can throw the ball. Flacco threw for over 3600 yards during the regular season.
The Colts’ D employs a bend but don’t break style. Often times, Indianapolis prefers to sit in their Cover 2 and dare teams to beat them with the pass. The Colts will rush the quarterback, but they are judicious about how and when they blitz.
Somehow, the unit has been effective even though it gives up 339 yards per game on average and 19 points per game on average. The Colts also allow over 125 yards per game on the ground. If they let Rice or McGahee or a combination of both get 125 yards this weekend, then the Colts’ D could be in some trouble.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Live
The Arizona Cardinals needed overtime and a great play by linebacker Karlos Dansby in order to secure a 51 to 45 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wildcard Round this past Sunday.
Things don’t get any easier for the Cardinals as they must travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints. The NFL playoff lines list the Cardinals as a touchdown underdog in their game against New Orleans.
Will Arizona prove a difficult opponent for the Saints in the dome? Or, will New Orleans regain the form that allowed them to win 13 straight games during the regular season? Now this one of the match have lots of Online Betting in the NFL playoffs.
Cardinals’ Offense vs. Saints’ Defense
Arizona’s offense was spectacular against the Green Bay Packers last week. The Cardinals racked up 156 yards on the ground, Kurt Warner threw for 379 yards and 5 touchdowns, and the unit put up 45 points.
That was impressive, no doubt, but can the same offensive explosion be expected when the Cardinals face the New Orleans Saints on Saturday? It’s a legitimate question.
Teams beat up the Saints in their last three regular season games. Even the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers found a way to rush for 176 yards and pass for 263 on the Saints’ D. The unit, which was ranked in the Top 10 at one time, is now ranked 24 th in the NFL and gives up an average of over 20 points per game. To make matters worse, the Saints will be without defensive end Charles Grant for the playoffs.
Those aren’t good stats for a unit that faces one of the best offenses in the NFL. Arizona should find a way to get to the Saints’ D, but two things could work against Arizona’s offense in this game.
First, Arizona’s offense was so fantastic against the Packers last Sunday that there’s absolutely no way they could repeat that performance against the Saints 6 days later. Second, the Saints get back linebacker Scott Shanle and cornerback Jabari Greer back for this game. The return of Greer is essential to the Saints’ chances of stopping Arizona’s terrific wide receivers. Check out more NFL Live Odds for to see more detailed statistics

NFL Betting Tips for the 2009-2010 Playoffs
After watching the wild card games over the weekend I noticed something you need to keep in mind when you do some NFL football Betting this up coming weekend. Every single team that actually advanced to the next round had one thing in common, they were able to run the ball effectively, but I wouldn’t expect it to be a major factor in the rest of the playoffs.
All the winning teams this weekend were able to run the ball and outgained their rivals in that department, something that at first looked overrated, especially if you consider that this has become a passing league. NFL Live Odds on NFL 2010 Playoffs at Sportsbetting.com
For example, in the first game of the weekend both teams ran a total of 171 yards, the Jets beat the Bengals because they were able to establish the run first and then got some room for Mark Sanchez to make some key plays. As you can see, the main factor was the run.
The same thing happened in the Dallas - Philly game, the Cowboys outgained the Eagles 198-56 in rushing yards, they ran the ball and tired out the opponents defense using good ole’ old school football.
The New England – Baltimore match was a perfect example on how a playoff game was played back in the day and how you should face an opponent in cold weather. The Ravens crushed the Patriots in the running department, 234 rushing yards against 64; they were able to bag an easy win. Check out NFL Live Odds on NFL 2010 Playoffs at Sportsbetting.com
John Harbaugh knew that in this weather throwing the ball was going to be a bit hard so they decided to go through the ground, and with two really good backs like Rice and McGahee it was a safe bet.
Now before you go and start betting for the team with the best backs, there is one major factor you need to keep in mind the rest of the way to the Super Bowl. The weather it won’t be a factor anymore. Make your bets with NFL Live Odds on NFL 2010 Playoffs at Sportsbetting.com
Three of the upcoming 4 games will be played in a dome and the other one will be during warm weather, so we can expect matches with big passing games.
The reason people say that you have to run the ball this time of year is because of the cold weather that directly affects the passing game, it’s something that we are going to see only if Baltimore and New York knock out San Diego and Indianapolis and the chances of both teams advancing don’t look so good.
Also consider that the four top seeded teams have huge QB figures and their offense relies on the passing game. Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Brett Favre and Drew Brees all had over 4,000 passing yards in the regular season. Do you think a rushing offense will be a factor against a team that could strike you with a long TD any given play? I don’t think so. NFL Live Odds on NFL 2010 Playoffs at Sportsbetting.com
All of them also have plenty of playmakers in the receiving department and tend to make very few mistakes throwing the ball, all reasons why you shouldn’t expect the run to be a major factor this week.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns Bowl Championship
BCS is one of the Major Championship where Online Betting holds good market. people are more interested in the BCS Matches Online Betting. if you are also interested in betting.. Check out SportsBook Online & Register Now. Live Streaming will be prvided by Sportsbook Online
Colt McCoy has been able to shatter most of college football’s most notable quarterback records, but breaking the SEC streak in the BCS Championship game is going to be tougher than most of his challenges. The NCAA’s winningest college quarterback lost his Heisman trophy to the Crimson Tide’s Mark Ingram thanks to a poor effort in the Big 12 Championship game against Nebraska. Facing Alabama’s top ranked defense is going to prove whether McCoy is a big game player, and could very well affect his long term NFL draft stock.
Texas averaged the third highest scoring output with 40.7 points per game, while he completed 70.5 percent of his passes for 3,512 yards, 27 touchdowns and 12 picks with a quarterback rating of 147.5. Of course, numbers mean very little when you can’t win a big game. However, losing hasn’t been a part of the Longhorn’s regimen this sports betting season, unless they’re going up against the ncaaf oddsmakers. Texas is just 5-7-1 ATS this season and even though the tight line is indicative of Texas’s chance to win, it’s almost designed to lure the Big 12 bettors out of their worrisome position.
The Longhorns are the last team to win the BCS Championship since the SEC has gone on a 3-0 winning streak with Florida and LSU dominating the scene late in the decade. Of course, McCoy wasn’t a part of Texas’s gameplan as they rode Vince Young’s big back to a win over USC.
Helping McCoy will be wide receiver stud Jordan Shipley who caught a team leading 106 passes for 1,363 yards and 11 touchdowns. Of course, as Nebraska proved, the Longhorn’s offensive line might not be up to the challenge of stopping a grizzled defensive line, and containing Shipley is actually much easier for a loaded defense.

NFL Picks: For the Upcoming Week 14 NFL
If the mighty haven’t fallen yet, they’re teetering.
Perennial pre-season favourites Pittsburgh and New England aren’t at the centre of the playoff discussion with just four weeks of regular-season football remaining. It’s certainly not the type of claim — regarding these two organizations — we’re used to hearing at this time of year.
Much can change in a short period of time, but you can mark this one down: if the Steelers (at 6-6) don’t guzzle the Browns on Thursday, their season is done.
Check out more Football betting picks at our Sportsbook
Tom Brady and his Patriots (7-5) have a little more rope, but not a full coil. New England’s advantage could be the schedule. In the final two weeks, the Patriots face Jacksonville and Houston, two teams they’ll likely need to beat out to land a wild-card slot if they can’t harness the AFC East title.
• THURSDAY
Pittsburgh (6-6) at Cleveland (1-11) (+9.5)
The Steelers surrendered 396 yards-combined to Oakland last week. Defensive co-ordinator Dick LeBeau is legendary at making the right adjustments and history tells us to ride his coattails and QB Ben Roethlisberger’s arm when the season’s on the line. Take the Steelers.
• SUNDAY

New Orleans (12-0) at Atlanta (6-6) (+10.5)
How bad does Drew Brees have it? He takes his air show onto the immaculate carpet and conditions at the Georgia Dome seven days after ripping up the turf in Washington with 419 yards. Can we at least hit 500 this week? Brees leads the NFL in passer rating (111.3) and TDs (29) and faces the fourth-worst pass defence in the league. Take the Saints.
Green Bay (8-4) at Chicago (5-7) (+3)
Wasn’t it Chicago that was supposed the have the dominating defence? The Packers are fourth against the run and fifth against the pass. Since the Bears can’t do either (watch the logic kick in here folks …), take the Packers.
St. Louis (1-11) at Tennessee (5-7) (-12.5)
Check out more Football betting picks at our Sportsbook
According to Accuscore, a simulator that forecasts the probability of teams winning games, the Titans have a nine per cent chance of making the playoffs. Miraculous comebacks don’t come around often and that loss to Indy last week likely ended things for Tennessee. They’ll take it out on the Rams this weekend. Take the Titans.
Denver (8-4) at Indianapolis (12-0) (-7)
Nice bounce-back shown by the Broncos the past two weeks after dropping four in a row. Denver faces a Colts team that astounds, given the injuries. Indianapolis has Peyton, but they’ve also dug up a good running attack led by Joseph Addai (two TDs last week). Take the Colts.
Buffalo (4-8) at Kansas City (3-9) (+1)
How meaningful is this one? Well for one participant, not really. Terrell Owens signed with a modelling agency this week to go with his reality show and breakfast cereal. "When you’ve got some good looks like myself, you’ve got to take full advantage of it," the sometime focused Bills receiver said. There’s no catwalk in KC. Take the Chiefs.

Cincinnati (9-3) at Minnesota (10-2) (-6.5)
The Bengals have underwhelmed lately. The Vikings need a rebound game after losing convincingly to Arizona. Take the Vikings.
Carolina (5-7) at New England (7-5) (-13)
Pats have dropped three of four and might be reeling, but Carolina is one soft spot New England can land on. Take the Patriots.
NY Jets (6-6) at Tampa Bay (1-11) (+3)
Rookie QB Mark Sanchez (sprained knee) sits and Kellen Clemens takes his spot. Tough break for the Jets, who’ve won two straight but the offence has dried up. Expect to see a lot of RB Thomas Jones, which should be enough against the league’s second-worst run stop. Take the Jets.

Miami (6-6) at Jacksonville (7-5) (-3)
Huge win for the Jags last week against Houston; ditto for Miami against the Pats. The Jags’ schedule down the stretch (Indy, at New England) is a brute and any hope for a wild card rests with a must-win at home this week. Take the Jaguars.
Detroit (2-10) at Baltimore (6-6) (-13)
The Ravens move forward after a trio of tough games (Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Green Bay). There’s no chance of a letdown Sunday with an opportunity to improve the playoff chances. RB Ray Rice is a great fantasy play. Take the Ravens.
Check out more Football betting picks at our Sportsbook
Seattle (5-7) at Houston (5-7) (-6)
Rumblings have Houston coach Gary Kubiak in trouble and this is desperation time for a Texans team that should be playing better. Neither team has much of a run game, meaning Matt Schaub versus Matt Hasselbeck. Take Schaub; take the Texans.
