Detroit Lions NFL Futures – More than Five Wins?
The Detroit Lions have not done well both against the NFL betting spreads and straight up in recent years.
But after a string of good draft picks put together by new GM Martin Mayhew, things seem to be looking up for the arguably the worst franchise in the NFL.
NFL betting fans will notice that the Lions’ projected win total according to the odds hasn’t grown much this year despite all the positive press the Lions have received this off-season, however, as the total for NFL futures is still set at just 5 wins.
Last season the Lions went just 2-14, however, so the total makes sense in that respect.

NFL Betting – Chicago Bears an NFC North Title Contender?
The Chicago Bears have big plans for the future now that they have their QB of the future in tow in Jay Cutler. Cutler didn’t work out well last year for the Bears leading to numerous NFL against the spread and straight up losses but he didn’t have a whole lot of help.
Cutler took the blame but he has a chance to come out and redeem himself this year.

MLB All-Star Betting – NL Will Steal Home Field Advantage In Fall Classic
It’s the 81st Annual All-Star Game from Anaheim, California! The American League hasn’t lost this game in 13 years, including the infamous tie-game in 2002. Unfortunately for logic’s sake, this game still determines which league gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

National League 411
The National League has lost seven straight and 12 of 13 all-star games, wile managing a 7-7, 11-inning tie in 2002 when idiotic commissioner Bud Selig brought the game to a halt without a winner having been decided.
The good news for the National League is the fact that they have been extremely competitive in each of the last four all-star classics, losing each contest by just one run.

The American League has been totally dominant in owing the NL since the senior league won three straight all-star games from 1994-96.

College Football Preseason Odds – Can Iowa Win Big Ten?
Last year, the Iowa Hawkeyes came into the year as an underdog in the college football preseason odds to win the Big Ten. But they almost got it done before losing to Ohio State in a league-deciding game without starting QB Ricky Stanzi, who got hurt in their other loss to Northwestern.
But the Hawkeyes finished the year strong in beating Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

NBA Insider – The Best ‘Under the Radar’ Free Agent Signings
Apparently, not everyone can be LeBron James NBA betting buffs?
While it would appear (at least in James’ mind) that no other basketball player has ever existed ‘B.L.’ (Before LeBron) the fact of the matter is that the game of roundball has been played nearly all over the globe, long before ‘Queen James’ ever thought of lacing up a pair of Nikes.
Having said that pro hoops lovers, several NBA teams have made some really nice free agent acquisitions that I believe will help their respective causes next season, no matter how low they flew ‘Under the Radar’ because of the recently-completed free agent fiasco surround the newly-minted ‘most hated’ player in the game today.
