The 2011 NFL regular season kicks off Thursday night when the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers face off inside Lambeau Field. It’s a marquee matchup featuring the last two teams that have won the Super Bowl.

Florida Atlantic travels to The Swamp in Gainesville and will begin the final season under head coach Howard Schnellenberger, who began the program 13 years ago, taking it from obscurity into the major college football ranks

LSU is a dominating 20-4 all-time against current members of the Pac-12 Conference, which includes a 3-0 mark under Miles. Playing inside of a dome will likely factor little in the Tigers ability to come out with a victory, entering with a 22-7 all-time mark when indoors. LSU has won

Tennessee slipped by the Chicago Bears, 14-13, but failed to cover the spread as three-point home favorites last week. The Titans are 2-1 SU and ATS without the services of star running back Chris Johnson who continues to hold out

The New Orleans Saints head out west to the Oakland County Coliseum for a preseason matchup with the Oakland Raiders this Sunday night. Game time is set for 8 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally

Bettors are enjoying a unique opportunity to start playing around with the NFL Week 1 lines this year, even with many roster spots in doubt due to free agency starting this week. Professional bettors will continue moving these numbers around until the season kicks off with a premiere matchup

The ongoing negotiations between the NFL owners and the Players Association to arrive at a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) continue to point towards a resolution that could potentially end a four-month owner imposed lockout of the players and reopen the league for business as early as the end of this week

The 2011 Pro Bowl returns to Hawaii after being held in Miami, Florida last year. The annual contest of the AFC's and NFC's best will take place Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011, at 7 p.m. ET. This is only the second time in history that the Pro Bowl will be held the week

This game is actually a rematch played in mid season in New Orleans which was won by the Saints 34-19. As you can tell by the score Seattle was in that game. The big difference here

The Buccaneers have really been one of the great surprises this year. New Orleans didn’t suffer a post-Super Bowl hangover, although it is unlikely that

This is for the division title, although the Falcons still can win their last game and clinch.The Saints didn’t step up to the plate last week in Baltimore while

This really will be the best game of the week, if you exclude the 2 big division rivalries. The Saints have been on quite a tear recently and Baltimore is still winning although not paying perfect ball. We have a feeling in a spot

Oh the Bengals, what a waste of talent. They couldn’t even keep it close on Thanksgiving last week. We are going to keep including

Seattle is proving that they have a lot of talent on their team. New Orleans is slowly going thru the season playing good football but

New Orleans woke up last week against Pittsburgh while Carolina has been asleep all year. This is a very strange line. Carolina for some reason usually plays hard

Nice game to end October on Halloween. The Saints have not been playing like the Saints as of yet this year. The Steelers have exceeded expectations considering Big Ben was suspended

New Orleans didn’t mess around last week in Tampa; we thought the game was going to be a lot closer. The Browns played very well against Pittsburgh last week

Tampa Bay has been playing very good football. New Orleans hasn’t been playing badly, it’s just that every team has been playing their hearts out against them. We are making our pick

New Orleans is finding out that it is harder to be the hunted than the hunter this year. Arizona is finding out that it is hard to win when you don’t

Another great week. We went 7-3 and hit on our big teaser bet. That makes it year to date, 27-14-1 and 3-1 on Teaser betting. We will start the week

We told you to take Atlanta last week, so why did everybody call it a shock. Carolina has all sorts of problems, it looks like John Fox will be fired after the season

Atlanta played very well in both games versus New Orleans last year as they match up well against them. The Saints got lucky last week

After a surprising Week 3 performance in which Wisconsin barely squeaked out a 20-19 win over Arizona State and needed a blocked extra point to do it, the Badgers get

New Orleans looked pretty sharp and motivated last week. San Francisco looks neither sharp nor motivated. This is the game of the week to bet on

Welcome back guys. We are going to have a great year this year. We are going to start with the traditional opening night game featuring last year’s champ the Saints.

The best 2 teams made the Super Bowl. Two months ago this was the match up that everyone wanted, then people started to talk about San Diego, Dallas, Baltimore or whatever team played one good game. The same people that said that the Colts wouldn’t recover from resting Peyton Manning are the same ones that are saying the Colts can’t lose this week.

For sports fans, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best days of the year. For bettors, it can be not only entertaining, but profitable as well. This year’s Super Bowl predictably pitted the New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts. Through 14 weeks of the NFL season, these two teams combined for an unconscious 26-0 record, before both teams clinched home field advantage for the playoffs and rested their starters.

The Saints started to play like they did earlier in the year last week, and the Viking defense helped us hit our under bet, as well as side–total parlay bet. The defensive ends got off the ball so fast it seemed like were in the backfield before Tony Romo was. The Saints will find a way to score some points here, the question is, can Brett Favre match Drew Brees stride for stride

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Boy did the Saints really change the playoff picture with their loss to Dallas last week. Not only did it give life to the Cowboys, it showed that any team still might win the NFC. As a matter of fact these are our most likely teams to go to the Super bowl now. The Eagles, Saints, Giants, Cardinals, Cowboys, Packers and the Vikings in that order to win it all. Not quite the way the seeds are right now

We knew the Cowboys didn’t have enough guns to beat the Chargers last week, but this week is a different story. New Orleans has been just winning by the “skin of their teeth” lately, and will continue to until they finally lose their fear of losing their first game. People are fickle. You know that everybody is going to be betting the Saints here

If you have been following my column all year you know I always love a juicy dog and we have one here. We bet the Falcons +10 on Monday Night Football against the Saints a few weeks ago when nobody else did, and we won. We are taking Atlanta again here

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

We said last week that New Orleans is having a difficult time lately being the hunted as opposed to the hunter. They will continue to play that way until they finally lose a game. The sports books here say take the home dog and we will. Traditionally in late November there are always a weekend where there are a lot of crazy upsets

Part 3 of our 3 team teaser bet is a bit of a risk. Any time you bet against a high powered offense such as New Orleans, Colts, or New England you take a chance. New Orleans however is becoming the hunted as opposed to the hunter. It is easier to win when when you play to win as opposed to playing to not lose

The Saints showed that they are human, by not covering vs. Atlanta last week. Carolina shocked Arizona in Arizona. This is a division game and the Panthers will bring their "A" game this week. The Saints have been playing at a very high level every week

Finally a game that we feel good about betting. The Saints have been playing great while Atlanta was playing very well till they looked flat vs. Dallas last week. New Orleans looked flat at Miami last week also. Maybe both teams were looking ahead to this week.

Both of these teams are coming of big wins. The Saints come in at 5-0 and look like the best team in football after beating the Giants 48-27. The Dolphins have won 2 straight and have shown that they are not going to quit on the season yet.

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

New Orleans was a profitable machine last year for NFL bettors, finishing 10-5 AGAINST THE SPREAD despite an 8-8 record straight up.

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
