Midseason NFL breakdown

Review the Best Online Sportsbooks

As the second half of the NFL season begins, here’s how things are shaping up :

AFC :

Contenders :

Houston (7-1) – Even with the loss of Star linebacker Brian Cushing, the defense is still one of the best. Defensive end J.J. Watt is making a strong push for defensive player of the year. On offense, Arian Foster continues to pound the ball as well as any running back in the league. Tough Week 10 matchup in Chicago should tell a lot about the team.

Pittsburgh (5-3) – Have overcome numerous injuries to the offensive line, and have played much of the season without future Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu. QB Ben Roethlisberger has adjusted well to new offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Week 8 matchup with New York Giants may have been a Super Bowl preview.

Denver (5-3) – Peyton Manning is looking more and more comfortable every week, and the back end of the schedule is fairly soft. Champ Bailey and the Broncos defense are now playing much more inspired, knowing they finally have a legit shot at going to the Super Bowl.

Baltimore (6-2) – Ravens’ defense is ranked 26th in the NFL in yards allowed. LB Ray Lewis is done for the year. CB Ladarius Webb is done for the year, LB Terrell Suggs has just come back. Ravens great start should get them into the playoffs, but QB Joe Flacco and RB Ray Rice are really gonna have to make it happen on offense. Stay tuned.

* Don’t overlook New England

NFC -

Contenders:

Atlanta (8-0) – Falcons started off 3-0, and then fought through, and shook off a lull in their season, as they squeaked out wins over Carolina, Washington, and Oakland before getting back in gear. Nobody is talking about it, but aside from a tough Week 15 tilt against the New York Giants, the thought of a perfect 16-0 season is not too far-fetched.

New York Giants (6-3) – Have been inconsistent in spots, but lead the NFC East, while Dallas, Philadelphia, and Washington go through all sorts of inner turmoil. The defending Super Bowl champs look like they are rounding into form, and should be ready willing and able to defend their crown once playoff time begins.

San Francisco (6-2) – Coach Jim Harbaugh has figured out that the key to his team’s success will be strong defense, and a good running game with Frank Gore pounding the ball. They will not reach the promised land, if Alex Smith becomes pass-happy.

Chicago (7-1) – Hard to argue with the overall record, but it still remains to be seen whether the Bears offense can win an important game, without their defense either scoring points, or getting a turnover which sets up the offense on a short field. Come playoff time, good teams will not commit turnovers.

* Don’t overlook Green Bay

With all the great games coming up, you may wish to place a wager. After all, having a little bit of “juice” on the game, makes it a bit more interesting, and adds an element of excitement as well. Protect yourself, there are many options available for betting online, so make sure you choose a credible site. Make an informed decision. Get the best sportsbook reviews right here. Many require minimal opening deposits, and some also provide a “Free play” bonus when you sign up. That said, wager responsibly and enjoy the season. It’s gonna be great.

Hot Summer in Sports


As the first day of summer fast approaches, the world of sports is becoming more intriguing, beginning with a huge Saturday:

June 9th will start off with the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown. Having already captured the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, ‘I’ll have another’ is currently a 4-5 favorite to take the laurels at Belmont. Should the favorite pull it off, it will be the first Triple Crown winner since ‘Affirmed’ in 1978. Interestingly enough, ‘I’ll have another’ is from the bloodline of ‘Alydar’, the horse which ran runner-up to Triple Crown winner ‘Affirmed’ in all three races in 1978. If you are a horse racing enthusiast, or just like the thrill of making a wager on any sport, there are now some excellent sports betting sites at your disposal. Well worth a look.

After the drama of the Belmont Stakes is over, get settled in for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final, as the Los Angeles Kings seek the first championship in their 45 year history when they take on the New Jersey Devils. The Kings won the first 3 games of the series, as they have done in each series this year, but failed to close out the series at home in game 4.
L.A. now holds a 3 games to 1 lead in the series, which continues in New Jersey at 8:00 ET. If L.A. wins, they are champions, should the Devils win, game 6 will be Monday at 8:00 ET, in Los Angeles.

The sweet science of boxing wll be rounding out the day. The ever popular Manny (Pacman) Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against Tim Bradley. The PPV fight takes place in Las Vegas,NV and coverage begins at 6:00 ET. Many fight fans were hoping for a Pacquiao/Floyd Mayweather bout, but for now, it is not on the horizon.

That memorable Saturday is just the beginning of a great month:

The NBA championship will be decided, as Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and the Oklahoma City Thunder await the winner of the Boston Celtics/Miami Heat series.

Also on the docket for the month of June, the National Hockey League Awards show will remain in Las Vegas, but moves from it’s home of the last 3 years, The Palms, to The Wynn. June 13th is the latest the Stanley Cup final will end, but come June 20th, all remaining drama from NHL will be resolved. Who is the best defenseman ? MVP ? Best goaltender ? All to be revealed on June 20th.

In the world of Tennis, Rafael Nadal is going for his seventh French Open title, while former # 1 Roger Federer is trying to end a two-year Grand slam drought. If Novak Djokovic wins the French Open, he will become the first man since Rod Laver to hold all for Grand slam titles at once (though Rod Laver twice won them all in the same calendar year). Of course, late June will see the start of the most famous fortnight, as the Wimbledon championships get underway on June 25th.

July will see the Major League Baseball All-Star game, which many consider the unofficial start to the real MLB season. All eyes are on the New York Yankees, as they continue to cope with the loss of superstar closing pitcher, Mariano Rivera.

July will also signal the start of a new weekly MLB show on INSIDE SPORTS.

July also means that NFL football is on the horizon. It also means that ‘Football Talk’ is soon returning to the INSIDE SPORTS lineup of weekly shows.

It is also “that time again”. July 27th-August 12th, the Summer Olympics will take place in London, England.

Should be a great summer indeed.
