I’ll admit that I was wrong about Green Bay Packers (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U) quarterback Aaron Rodgers!
After watching the first-time starter in last week’s season opening 24-19 win over the Minnesota Vikings, I can easily see that Rodgers is a much more polished product than I begrudgingly gave him credit for.
While the Packers were fortunate to beat a Minnesota Vikings team …

The only thing standing in his way are the other candidates that will be vying for the attention of the voters as the NCAA football betting season progresses. Who is your money on in our football futures section? More importantly – who should it be on?

Sam Bradford (QB) – Oklahoma Sooners

Bradford heaved up an unearthly amount of yards and touchdowns last season as the Sooners cruised to a Big 12 Championship behind Bradford’s 3,121 passing yards. He also totaled 36 touchdowns and only 8 picks. Saturday’s game against Chattanooga showed Bradford at his typical best.

He posted a line of 17 completions on 22 passes, 183 modest yards and two touchdowns. Bradford’s numbers will catapult him in to Heisman contention as the season progresses, but he has to prove that he can survive the dreaded “sophomore slump”.

Chase Daniel (QB) – Missouri Tigers

In his final year at Missouri, Chase Daniel is gunning for glory. Daniel took the game in to his own hands against Illinois, and willed the Tigers to a win. He went 26-for-45 and totaled 323 yards with 3 touchdowns and one pick. Those numbers get noticed, and Chase is already on the map. With Jeremy Maclin behind him, Daniel is capable of exploding…unless Maclin, considered one of the best athletes in college right now, steals the show.

Knowshon Moreno (RB) – Georgia Bulldogs

He touched the ball eight times and scored three touchdowns with a yards per carry average of 7.4. Moreno is one of the clear cut favorites to win the Heisman, and performances such as these will have to keep rolling in for Knowshon to overcome the sophomore tag and win the illustrious award.

Tim Tebow (QB) – Florida Gators

The reigning Heisman winner only posted 137 yards on 9-for-14 completions, but the Gators were playing Hawaii so nobody in the NCAAF betting community expected much. The man-child will have to have another monster year to prove he is worthy of repeating. However, if his Herculean efforts don’t translate in to wins, then nothing will matter for the defending champ.

Pat White (QB) – West Virginia Mountaineers

Perhaps the most electrifying man in college football, Pat White now owns the show in West Virginia with Steve Slaton waiting for his chance in Houston. Noel Devine will steal headlines on occasion, but Pat White will hog the Heisman spotlight if he continues to have 5 touchdown performances like he did against Villanova.

Chris Wells (RB) – Ohio State

Wells posted 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts before going down with a foot injury. We’ll keep you posed on his health, but this injury looks to be more serious than anyone could imagine. For now, Wells is one of the top contenders, and his efforts up until his injury on Saturday prove his case.

The Florida Gators were sensational in their first game of the season. By whipping the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 56 to 10, the Gators signaled to college football betting fans that they are definitely a team to key football bets around this season.

The Gators offense was spectacular as usual, racking up four touchdowns in both the second and third quarters, but it was their defense that looked absolutely awesome. The Gators held the Rainbows to 10 points and all 10 points were scored in the fourth quarter when the Gators had the game well in hand.

Florida will look to continue their dominance this weekend when they face the in state rival Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes look to be much improved from last year with athleticism on both sides of the ball. Football betting fans wonder whether or not the Hurricanes have improved enough to handle a team like Florida.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook NCAAF odds for this game.

Kick-off: 9/6/2008 8:00 pm est.

Miami Florida Hurricanes + 21 ½ – 110

Florida Gators - 21 ½ – 110

It’s too early to talk trends in this game. So, we’re going to have to just consider the notion that both teams will play to the best of their ability. With that being written, are the Florida Gators really more than three touchdowns better than the Miami Hurricanes?

They could very well be. This Florida Gator team is loaded in every position. So much so that they racked up 56 points against Hawaii without Percy Harvin, their best wide receiver, linebacker Brandon Spikes and guard Jim Tartt. With those three returning to the line-up, what chance do the Hurricanes actually have of beating the Florida Gators in this game?

Oh, yeah, the Hurricanes don’t have to actually beat the Gators. They just have to lose by no more than 21 points. The Hurricanes have improved enough for me to believe that beating the BetUS online sportsbook spread of 21 ½ is absolutely doable. They are adept at playing a much faster game with quarterback James Harris running the spread offense with abandon. He racked up over 70 yards rushing and 190 yards passing. Tim Tebow, Harris is not, but he won’t have to be for NCAAF betting fans to win this wager.

I’ll be making an online bet on the Miami Hurricanes to beat the BetUS online football betting spread of 21 ½ points in this Saturday game.

One thing to note is that Hurricane Hannah, yes, it’s a real storm and not a crazy woman who keep bothering Florida recruits, is on its way to the state of Florida. We’ll have to wait and see how it impacts the start of this game.

Last season, Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy adding to his already decorated career. As a returning junior, Tebow has the chance to take the Heisman home a second time, which would be another unbelievable feat in itself.

The Stanford Cardinal, yes, that glorified team in the Pac-10 named after a color and with a fir tree as a mascot, started their season with aplomb against the much more ballyhooed Oregon State Beavers by beating the Beavers 36 to 28 this past Saturday.

It was a huge victory for Stanford. The Cardinal practically shut-down online sportsbooks last year when they took out the USC Trojans on the road.

Luckily, because they started out this season much better than they did last season, I suspect that there won’t be any 43 ½ point online betting spreads when the Cardinal play the Trojans this year.

Of course, that’s way, way in the future. This weekend the Cardinal will try to capitalize on their momentum when they take on what many football betting fans consider the second best team in the Pac-10, the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The Sun Devils looked okay beating Northern Arizona 30 to 13 in their first game of the season. I say okay because the high flying Sun Devils should have scored at least 42 points in this game. No worries.

It’s not like the Stanford Cardinal should pose much of a threat to the Sun Devils, right? I mean, a victory against Oregon State is one thing. Beating ASU in Tempe where the temperature should be between 95 to 100 degrees is another.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook NCAAF odds for this game.

Kick-off: 9/6/2008 10:00 pm est.

Stanford Cardinal + 14 – 110

Arizona State Sun Devils - 14 – 110

The key in determining the winner against the spread in this game is determining which Kool-Aid to drink. If NCAAF betting fans like the look of the Kool-Aid being offered by the Stanford Cardinal, that says the Cardinal have improved to the point of challenging teams like the Sun Devils, then by all means make an online wager on the Cardinal.

But if the Sun Devil Kool-Aid looks tempting, the drink that says the Sun Devils are the second best team in the Pac-10 after USC, then you have to take the Sun Devils at – 14 in this game, right?

The truth is that the Stanford Cardinal looked good in their last game versus the Oregon State Beavers, but not good enough for me to even consider taking them in Arizona State’s first home game of the NCAAF season. The Sun Devils are far superior to the Stanford Cardinal. They should beat the Cardinal by at least 20 points. This has the makings of a serious blow-out with Arizona State’s offense just as good as last season’s and their defense being better this season than last year’s.

I’ll be making an online wager on the Arizona State Sun Devils to cover the – 14 points in their game versus the Stanford Cardinal this Saturday.

At BetUS Sportsbook, those who like to wager on pro football can take a swing at propositions that compare the regular season win totals of every team in the NFL, not just independently, but against each other. It’s all under “Football-Futures.”

Today we’re going to take a look at one of these head-to-head matchups, between two teams whop are within a few dozen miles of each other – the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Redskins.

First, let’s present the BetUS NFL odds on who will have more wins at the regular season’s end:

BetUS NFL Football Futures Odds

Most Regular Season Wins
RAVENS +1.5 wins (-190)
REDSKINS -1.5 wins (+150)

It makes sense to first out this “matchup” in perspective. The Redskins and Ravens are both playing with first-year head coaches who have something of a background in offense. Baltimore is going with John Harbaugh, who last coached at Stanford, and the ‘Skins take something of a leap with Jim Zorn, who was last employed as an NFL quarterback coach, and who played the position for many years with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Redskins, who went through some trying emotional times after the tragic loss of Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor, rallied late in the season to garner a wild card spot, while the Ravens, who had high hopes at the start of the season with Steve McNair at quarterback, suffered through an injury and turnover-plagued season where its offense never got started, and which led to the departure of both McNair and coach Brian Billick.

Baltimore used both Kyle Boller and Troy Smith at quarterback, and had enough lack of confidence in the state of that position that Joe Flacco, a quarterback at Division 1-AA Delaware, was drafted in the first round. Boller and Smith will get the bulk of playing time at QB until Flacco is ready. None of this is particularly savory. And though it is difficult to use the pre-season schedule as a barometer, there is no evidence that the Ravens have picked up anything in the way of offensive imagination.

There is the distinct possibility the Ravens will be swept by their three rivals in the AFC’s North division. And then they have to play all four teams from the most competitive division in the league – the AFC South, where they figure to come up short against Indianapolis, Tennessee and Jacksonville at the very least, and possibly Houston, which outdistanced Baltimore with an 8-8 record last year and host the September 14 game at Reliant Stadium with Boller possibly still nursing a shoulder injury.

Will the Ravens fare better against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants at the Meadowlands, or at Texas Stadium against the Cowboys? I think not. The last four games of the season take place against teams who made last year’s playoffs, when Flacco might be given the keys to the car in order to do some on-the-job training. One of those contests is a home game against these Redskins.

Can that be the “swing” game in this proposition?

I don’t think so. For some reason, Washington seems to have drawn a less problematic out-of-division schedule than the Ravens have. New Orleans, Arizona and St. Louis at home are very winnable games. So are games at Detroit, San Francisco and Cincinnati. Even if they go just 2-4 within the division, the Redskins can finish 8-8. And there is potential upside. I don’t see Baltimore approaching those heights, especially if they resign themselves to breaking in the rookie “quarterback of the future” at some point.

Yes, Baltimore is tough against the run (allowing 2.8 yards a carry last year). But Zorn starts with more talent than Harbaugh. And unless the ‘Skins have a total collapse, they should cover this one with room to spare. We’ll “lay” a win and a half and take the +150 price with the Redskins in this special BetUS football prop.

Alright BetUS NFL online sports wagering fanatics, I’ve got some NFL Props that will make you call the cops!

That’s right NFL wagering enthusiasts, the BetUS Sportsbook is now featuring an entertaining NFL Props Future Wager that focuses on which NFL team will have the next player land in handcuffs.

With NFL players making police blotters on an annual basis recently, this fun wager gives NFL bettors one more exciting way to increase the 2008 NFL seasonal bankroll before the regular season ever gets underway.

BetUS.com spokesman Reed Richards explains the NFL player arrest phenomenon and why the creative oddsmakers have cooked up the exciting Futures odds.

“The NFL is part of the fabric of the lives of fans in America and their interest in their teams and players goes far beyond the field,” Richards said. “This is illustrated by the number of fans who come to us looking for analysis and predictive information regarding which star or team will be in hot water next.”

From the Dallas Cowboys’ Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones to Cincinnati’s troubled wide receiver, Chris Henry, NFL players are getting in more trouble these days than ever before – and cashing in on another player’s unfortunate legal circumstances looks almost inevitable fir the bettor that picks the right NFL franchise.

In short order, here is a look at my top five franchises to have a player arrested during the 2008-09 NFL season.

Dallas Cowboys
Something tells me that Pacman’s legal woes may be over for a while, but lest we forget, the Cowboys have had their share of off-field problems well before Jones ever arrived.

Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have had so many players arrest over the past few years that I’m beginning to think they should have their own reality show.

Miami Dolphins
I know Bill Parcells and Tony Sparano aren’t going to deal with any nonsense at all as they go about their business of rebuilding the Dolphins, but hey, it’s still South Beach right? Miami has become both, a marquee place for entertainment – as well as a crime magnet for pro athletes.

New York Giants/New York Jets
I put these two teams together simply because they are located in New York. It doesn’t take much for a regular citizen to get arrested in the Big Apple, so every NFL player plying his trade in that lovely city should be on guard at all times.

Detroit Lions
The Mayor of Detroit is in hot water – as is the rest of the struggling city, whose crime statistics are some of the highest in the nation. Besides, playing for the lowly Lions could make anyone get arrested in order to prompt a trade or outright release from this NFL penitentiary.

Here is a look at the odds for each NFL Team to have the next player arrested in the BetUS Sportsbook:

Dallas Cowboys 15/1
New York Giants 25/1
Philadelphia Eagles 15/1
Washington Redskins 25/1
Buffalo Bills 25/1
Miami Dolphins 10/1
New England Patriots 25/1
New York Jets 25/1
Arizona Cardinals 25/1
San Francisco 49ers 25/1
Seattle Seahawks 25/1
St Louis Rams 25/1
Denver Broncos 20/1
Kansas City Chiefs 20/1
Oakland Raiders 20/1
San Diego Chargers 25/1
Chicago Bears 25/1
Detroit Lions 18/1
Green Bay Packers 25/1
Minnesota Vikings 20/1
Baltimore Ravens 25/1
Cincinnati Bengals 5/1
Cleveland Browns 25/1
Atlanta Falcons 8/1
Carolina Panthers 25/1
New Orleans Saints 25/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25/1
Houston Texans 25/1
Indianapolis Colts 15/1
Jacksonville Jaguars 25/1
Tennessee Titans 25/1
