NFL Tips
The NFL Lines – Week 3
After two weeks of NFL action we have only six teams without a win and six more sitting undefeated at 2-0, suggesting that parity has been the order of the day thus far. Will the 2012 haves and have nots announce themselves in the third week of action? Nick Tedeschi and Cliff Bingham assess the […]
The NFL Lines – Week 2
The Cowboys, Redskins and Niners caused upsets, the Browns lost in a heartbreaking manner befitting a Cleveland sporting organisation, and Peyton Manning made those who had concerns about his health (team Making The Nut included) eat humble pie for a few solid days. How much has one week of action changed the landscape? Nick Tedeschi […]
The NFL Lines – Week 1
A preseason minus lockouts (although retaining a contract holdout or two from certain individuals) has come and gone, and now the time for talk has ended. Nick Tedeschi and Cliff Bingham have given you their preseason prognostications – now the week-to-week battle with bookmakers commences. Are you ready for some football??? CB We’re going to […]
The NFL Lines – Super Bowl
Here we are one more time at the big dance. Super Bowls rarely provide a sense of déjà vu (unless you were a Buffalo fan in the early 1990s) but history has repeated rather promptly this time around, with New England and the New York Giants squaring off in a replay of their 2008 showdown. […]
The NFL Lines – Conference Championships
The divisional playoff round saw the reigning favourite and second favourite for the Super Bowl find only the ‘exit stage right’ sign, while Tebow Mania may lose a little steam until around July or August next year. The Conference Championship deciders are settled – Baltimore travel to Foxboro to take on Tom Brady and the […]
The NFL Lines – Divisional Playoffs
The battle of rookie QBs was one-way traffic as the Texans advanced. Drew Brees and the Saints did their thing in their house. The Giants kept their late-season surge (especially on the defensive side of the ball) rolling, while Tim Tebow did Tebow things and defied oddsmakers once again. These four teams hit the road […]
The NFL Lines: Week 17
Week 16 saw the Packers wrap up home field advantage, the Saints wrap up the NFC South, the NFC Wild Card race be finalised (Lions and Falcons making the cut) and the Chargers drop out of the crapshoot otherwise known as the race for the AFC West title. Nonetheless, there are still 3 divisonal titles, one […]
The NFL Lines: Week 16
Week 15 was one of the most bizarre on record. The Packers lost. The Colts won. A pair of 10-3 sides were badly beaten by teams below .500 (one beaten in such a fashion on home turf). Unsurprising then that it was not a good week for punters, not least Nick Tedeschi and Cliff Bingham, […]
The NFL Lines – Week 15
Tim Tebow comes through in the final quarter while the Cowboys implode again (if Tebow were traded to Dallas, would these two effects cancel each other outs)? The Falcons and Jets grab the inside rail for wild card spots in the NFC and AFC respectively. The stakes continue to escalate in week 15 of the […]
The NFL Lines – Week 14
Week 13 brought with it a lot of typical performances. The Steelers were typically strong at home; the Cowboys were typically jittery at the critical moment; the Raiders were typically inept when travelling cross-country; the Chargers were typically good at the least useful point of the season; and Aaron Rodgers was at his typical best […]
