Now is the time that smart sports betting investors make futures bets on teams in the N.F.L. in online sportsbook gambling parlours.  There are two conferences in the National Football League:  The National and the American.  Each conference is divided into four divisions.  Through a series of one- game eliminations, the winners and two wild card teams from each conference compete to determine the Super Bowl representative from their respective conferences. 

Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the American Conference defeated the Arizona Cardinals from the National Conference in an exciting game that went down to the last minute.  It’s time to put on our Guru cap and look into our prognostication ball, and see if we can determine some winning investments for you for the upcoming season.

National Football Conference

The National Conference consists of four divisions:  North, South, East and West.  These divisions are not broken into divisions strictly along geographic lines.  Rivalries also play a part in the make up of these divisions.  For example, the Dallas Cowboys compete in the East Division because of the history of their great rivalries with the three powerhouse teams in the East - the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins.

According to the latest odds posted in the best online sportsbook gambling parlours, The New York Giants from the East Division are the favourites to represent the N.F.C. in the Super Bowl.  The Giants are listed as 8-1 favourites while the Cowboys, from the same Division, are currently at 10-1.  Amazingly, the Philadelphia Eagles are the third pick of the oddsmakers to advance to the Super Bowl.  The Eagles are currently listed at 12-1, the same odds that they opened with.

The three bother divisions have their top team posted in the online sportsbook gambling parlours with the following odds:

·        Carolina Panthers (South) – 15-1

·        Minnesota Vikings (North) – 15-1

·        Arizona Cardinals West) – 18-1

It should be noted that since the preseason training camps opened a week ago, the Carolina Panthers have dropped from 12-1 to their present level, and the Arizona Cardinals have dropped from 15-1 to the current odds.  It is interesting to note that a Guru favourite, the Chicago Bears (North), have risen the most since preseason camps opened up, moving from 30-1 to 18-1, while the odds on Minnesota have jumped from 20-1 to 15-1.   

There are great odds for the futures bets on the National Football Conference.  The Guru says that the best bet for the futures is the Giants.  Eli Manning is steady at the quarterback position, and an investment of $100 will yield you $800 in return.  You might consider a $50 bet on the Chicago Bears for the NFC title. 

The Guru has spoken.  Next week, we’ll review the American Conference for the best online sportsbook gambling future wagers.
