2005 NFL Predictions
Here are some 2005 NFL predictions for the AFC which offer some value for the future bettor
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) Aug. 1, 2005 -- With New England's world unraveling
somewhat in the AFC, this opens up a whole lot of opportunities for the
conference. There are bound to be teams outside of the radar which outperform.
When considering your 2005 NFL predictions and which teams to place future
wagers on, always focus on value (i.e. payout).
The New England Patriots
have been an easy choice over these past few years to win the Super Bowl,
although the payout odds were pretty nice the first year landing
there.
For the sake of value, however, Gambling911.com has honed in on
the divisions themselves when reviewing 2005 NFL predictions.
"We are not
about determining which teams will win it all but rather which teams have the
potential to offer a nice payout to gamblers," commented Christopher Costigan,
Founder and President of Gambling911.com. "The San Diego Chargers, for example,
were rated among the worst teams entering the 2004 regular NFL season. They won
their division and paid some lucky gamblers a few thousand dollars."
http://www.betmaker.com does
have the Kansas City Chiefs listed as the most likely team to win the AFC West
with odds of +200 (a $100 bet pays $200; a $10 bet pays $20). Still, this may
prove to be a very tight division.
With the Oakland Raiders as an
example, streaky quarterback Kerry Collins has a decent cast of offensive
supporters, but that won't be enough to offset poor defense. The coaching under
Norv Turner is adequate at best. And don't expect Randy Moss to turn things
around here overnight either. They might end up a better team than last year,
but still not a good enough team to break .500. Nonetheless, looking at all
these components as a whole it is easy to feel that Oakland may have a shot of
at least winning the AFC West at +285 odds.
In the AFC East, New England
is one of the few teams listed in the minus category (at -300, one must bet $300
to win $100 or $30 to win $10). Yet, any of these teams have a shot. Does
anybody really believe that Miami will be as bad this year with a new head coach
and Ricky Williams? Miami, incidentally, has odds of +1800 posted at
Betmaker.com to win the AFC East (a $100 bet pays $1800; a $10 bet pays
$180).
When it comes to the AFC East, Gambling911.com feels somewhat
strongly about the Buffalo Bills.
"The bookmakers and pundits for the
most part have Buffalo pegged as a 4-12 team in 2005," commented Costigan.
"After starting 0-4 last season, the Bills went on a 6 game win streak that
nearly landed them in the post season. With much of the team remaining intact,
there is nothing to suggest they will fail to keep up the momentum."
They
have a very good coach in Mike Mularkey. Quarterback J.P. Losman has exceptional
athleticism. The offense might prove above average while the defense already is
solid as they come.
"Expect the Buffalo Bills to give the rest of the AFC
a run for its money," said Costigan. "At 20-1 odds, there is tremendous value.
Can they overcome New England? That remains to be seen, but 12 wins in 2005 is
not out of the question."
http://www.betcris.com has Buffalo listed with +700 odds to
win the AFC East (for every $100 bet, $700 is paid out or for every $10 bet, $70
is paid out).
Bottom line, there is definitely some good value to be
found with each individual division when determining your own 2005 NFL
predictions. Over the coming weeks, Gambling911.com will be reviewing "value"
bets found in the NFC and in college football as the season is about to get
underway.
