Green Bay Packers & Vikings Head NFC North NFL Wagering Win Totals
The time to gamble NFL lines is now and two squads from the NFC North are attracting lots of NFL betting recognition at the sportsbook.
The Vikings and Green Bay Packers both have regular season win totals of 9.5. It is possible to make a football betting wager on the Packers going over or under that win total, though the over is -150.
NFL wagering odds are somewhat different on the Vikings win total. At 9.5, it’s the same number, however the over is just -120. It makes sense that Green Bay’s probabilities are a little higher since they’re a pretty slight favorite to win the NFC North this season. Bear in mind that last season, both squads easily went over the total of 9.5 competitions. The Vikings were 12-4 and won the division while the Packers were 2nd at 11-5. The reason that the total on Minnesota and Green Bay is 9.5 as opposed to 10 or 10.5 is probably considering the NFC North in total is expected to be better. If the Vikings get Brett Favre to return at quarterback as anticipated, then Minnesota may get some action on their win total and on their total odds to win the NFC North and the Super Bowl.
The Chicago Bears were 7-9 last season and their win total in football betting odds is 7.5. The Bears are expected to be much better though and the over is receiving action on this number at -155. Chicago would only have to finish at .500 for the over to be a victor and early action is going that way. Mike Martz is the Bears newest offensive coordinator, and they’ve also got a major name defensive addition in Julius Peppers and a lot of optimism. Peppers was a short while ago obtained by the Chicago Bears after he became an unrestricted free agent in February of this year. They brought him in to a 6-year, $91.5 milLion deal with $42 milLion certain in the first three years. Peppers will be worth the cost. In the 2002 NFL Draft, he was the 2nd total pick by the Carolina Panthers. He’s been on the All-Pro Team 2 times and he’s been chosen for the NFC Pro Bowl 5 times.
The Lions won only two matches last year, but when you see their win total you will understand why the NFC North is expected to be much better. Several people feel that the Detroit Lions are going to be vastly better in 2010, despite the fact that the under is -160, and Detroit’s win total is 5.5. The squad made some nice off-season additions and they will be much better on both sides of the ball. No longer will opposing squads be able to consider the Lions an automatic win.
Win totals are a fantastic way to be in the action for the complete 2010 NFL season. It is possible to be rooting for or against a squad all year long with just one wager. The NFC North should give gamblers something to consider with some interesting numbers.
