Everything looks like Donovan McNabb will start the season 100% healthy for the Philadelphia Eagels this year!
If this lasts all year long unlike the past 2 years, this team becomes a top contender for this years superbowl!
They should win 12-13 games, and from there on, the Bears, Panthers and the Redskins should Portis also last the year, would be the only obstacles in the way to them winning the NFC championship.
Still a long way to go, but certainly optimistic!

Wimbeldon~*~Ladies

All 3 girls are now in the round of 16!

A.Mauresmo = 7.00 (7/1) is looking very solid, and will be almost impossible to beat.
She is the main reason i even considered adding the WTA in this thread.
E.Dementieva = 51.00 (51/1) is a workhorse and is always in contention, although she will have to pull off at least 2 major upsets to make it to this grand slam final. She is capable.
D.Hantuchova = 67.00 (67/1) is playing better than she's ever played, but faces a brick wall in Serena Williams to make it to the quarter finals.
Strength is a major factor in this wimbeldon, Serena certainly has a lot more of that than thin Hantuchova, but you never know.
Should Mauresmo face Serena however, I would be placing a fortune on Mauresmo in addition to what i've already wagered on her winning this grand slam.

N.F.L

A F C North

1)Cincinnati Bengals
2)Baltimore Ravens
3)Cleveland Browns
4)Pittsburgh Steelers

2 Great teams, 1 growing mediocre team, and one very bad team falling to the pit of the NFL.
The Bengals offence is one of the best in the game and will be a contender from the AFC.
The Ravens defence is not enough to win it, they need some offence with that.
The Browns are a prime example of how to build a franchise. It might take a few years still, but they're well on their way.
The Steelers on the other hand need some serious changes and will finish below .300 this year.



A F C East

1)New York Jets
2)New England Patriots
3)Buffalo Bills
4)Miami Dolphins

This division is up for grabs, The Dolphins could win it just as easily.
My point is that the Patriots will not.
Miami is living one of the final years in greatness as their elite players age.
The Bills have some early problems this season, otherwise they would probably be favorites in my eyes.
The Jets look the best here with their electrifying offence and the great work thats been done with the defence. BTW, next year, the Patriots are a guarenteed fourth.



A F C South

1)Indianapolis Colts
2)Tennessee Titans
3)Jacksonville Jaguars
4)Houston Texans

The Colts remain the superior team here, and should have no problem winning it.
The Titans will be better than last year, but still not good enough to win it...Wildcard?
I hear a lot of talk about the Jaguars, but i'm not buying it, they may however take 2nd.
The Texans remain 1 of the 3 worst teams in the game despite their excellent RB addition.


A F C West

1)San Diego Chargers
2)Denver Broncos
3)Kansas City Chiefs
4)Oakland Raiders

The Chargers are amongst the absolute elite, and should remain so for years to come, superbowl contenders?
The Broncos and the Chiefs are mediocre teams that should be around .500 for the year.
Oakland finally got rid of Moss, they will be better than last year.


N F C North

1)Chicago Bears
2)Minnesota Vikings
3)Green Bay Packers
4)Detroit Lions

No competition here, The Bears remain once again Superbowl contenders.
This division is a joke, no competition.
Who takes 2nd is up for grabs, each of the remaining teams have great holes in various positions.

N F C East

1)Washington Redskins
2)Philadelphia Eagels
3)Dallas Cowboys
4)N Y Giants Giants

If Portis lasts the year, the Redskins will be in the playoffs, otherwise this division belongs to the Eagles.
The Cowboys are a great team, as are the Giants, making this division the best of them all.

N F C South

1)Carolina Panthers
2)Atlanta Falcons
3)New Orleans Saints
4)Tampa Bay Bucs

A one horse race here as the Panthers have no compeition.
The Falcons with or without Vick should take 2nd from the last year charity Saints.
The Bucs still need some serious work with their offence...that should take some years still.

N F C West

1)San Francisco 49ers
2)St Louis Rams
3)Seattle Seahawks
4)Arizona Cardinals

Gore and the 49ers, despite some weakness in the defence should rap up this division with the Rams hot on their heels. The Seahawks are on the fall. Arizona is a question mark, and i may be mistaken putting them in last.

W.HI.P I was just wondering if you are going to post your picks for the NFL preseason. Thanks.

[W.HI.P]

Makaveli, I will be giving a few, but don't be expecting the regular season free money stuff.
The pre-season is about secondary players, formations, and by no means do any games indicate how a team will preform in the regular season.
If I ran a team, i would probably be 0-4, 1-3 in the pre-season on indifference alone.

A little hint i'll give though.
Teams who rely on 1-2 key players are more than likely to lose more games than win.
Teams who have a wide variety of above average talent in various position will get the wins.
Also, teams who haven't established all their starters will more than likely play with more passion as their is competition between the players.
Details like that i will reveal as i see them, and give predictions accordingly.
Overall, be patient, september 6th is right around the corner.

[W.HI.P]

NFL Preseason Week 1
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Clevland Browns(-3,0) - Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are one of those teams that depend on 1-2 key players.
L.Johnson and T.Gonzales should play a limited amount of time in this game.
The Clevland Browns on the other hand are a very well rounded team and should win this preseason game pretty easily.
Bet on the Browns!

Washington Redskins - Tennessee Titans (-2,5)

How many times do you think V.Young is gonna risk injury in a preseason game and take off with the ball? Exactly!
One of the key weapons for the Titans will not be in action.
The Washington Redskins will run the ball 65% of the game... Its what they know.
Betts should work a bit, portis will get a drive or two.
Easy practice for the redskins.
i'm not so certain they'll win in a game that has no meaning, but there is absolutely no reason that they should be underdogs in this one.
Bet on the Redskins

I've bet on both those games a little, even though I lack info on what to expect from the teams.
Its more for entertainment than profit at this time.

[W.HI.P]

...Latest results

Washington Redskins 14-6 (-2,5)Tennessee Titans = WIN
Clevland Browns (-3,0) 16-12 Kansas City Chiefs = WIN

[W.HI.P]

Ok, so we had a few wins.
Obviously i went with Seattle yesturday against the Chargers.
L.Tomlinson's Chargers,P.Manning's Colts and L.Johnson's Chiefs All lost.
Teams that depend on key players.
I'm actually in a position at this particular moment, being 100% on all my actual NFL bets this weekend to be after quite a large sum of money on either or both the Philadelphia Eagels and the Denver Broncos.
The SF 49ers being the last of the teams that rely on 1 player(F.Gore),
makes betting on the Denver Broncos second nature.
The Eagels choice was more of a love i have for the team.
I really hope the news around Reid's family has no effect on how the team plays tonight.

Despite this early success on the pre-season, I will not be giving many tips as they are not as trustworthy as the games to come with the regular season.

Week 1 of the regular season which kicks off september 6th has some very interesting games.
A possible superbowl match: Chicago Bears VS San Diego Chargers.
This match-up favours the Bears as L.Tomlinson goes up against the greatest run defence in the NFL.
AFC(North) Clash between the Cincinnati Bengals VS Baltimore Ravens.
One of the best passing teams against the greatest pass defence in the NFL.
Indianapolis Colts VS New Orlean Saints,
looks to be the easiest game to pick out of all the games in week 1.
All other week 1 games are pretty closely matched.
Most away teams being the stronger, making picks tough.
However, like every year, the spread fixers always leave gifts to jump on in the early weeks..

[W.HI.P]

NFL Week 2 Pre-Season pointspreads
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Philadelphia Eagels(-3,0) - Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers ARE a one dimensional team, However, they are a 2007 playoff team. But, they are not a great team.
The main reason this team is already with one foot in the playoffs is because there is absolutely N.O competition in the division.
You Saints fans out there should know better.
Falcons fans have already given up, facing reality.
Bucs fans, after last years unbelievably bad offence(shame shame) can see little day light.

The Philadelphia Eagels ARE a superbowl team with McNabb.
However, they play in the best division in football.

The Pre-season as I said last week, is not about the main players.
Its mostly about secondary players and patterns... jobs.
Its also an exhibition.
Home teams will win most games!
You see, most people already knew this.
It is no suprise to me that most people that wagered their money on home teams in week 1 lost.
This week and the the next 2 weeks of the pre-season will see MANY home teams winning. Its innevitable!

As an Eagels fan, I would not be upset at all if the Eagels finished 0-4.
I understand.
However, it unlikely that these Phillie fans will not taste victory in a home game.
What better team to beat than the Carolina Panthers.
A team the Eagels match up against amazingly in most battles position wise, but also in offencive/defencive styles.

Bet on the Eagels

Buffalo Bills(-3,0) - Atlanta Falcons

The Bills really are a good team!
They have a great chance this week at home to demonstrate some great offence in front of their home fans against this pretty weak Falcons defence.

Bet on the Bills!!!

New York Jets(-4,5) - Minnesota Vikings

If this game was a regular season match, I would bet on the Jets even if they were 13 point favorites!
The Vikings are a Run defence, the Jets have an amazing passing game.
Of course, this is not the regular season, so we are talking about different match-ups.
However, the Jets are playing at home, and that, in the pre-season has a lot of meaning.

Bet on the Jets

WHIP, i have mad respect for your betting tips. But, dammit, man. as a Cowboys fan to an eagles fan.....LEARN HOW TO SPELL EAGLES! I mean......there's a fucking chant for chrissakes

that is all.

lol

[W.HI.P]

Adrian Peterson is very impressive!
He will be a factor in this years NFL for the Minnesota Vikings.
I do expect Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants to provide the NY.Giants an amazing running game!
Some people have yet to truly understand how good Jacobs actually is!

What some people seem to be forgetting is Clinton Portis!!
The Redskins are a force to be reckoned with!
Betts makes it an amazing 1-2.
Another impressive thing about the Redskins is its passing game!
Defences will be forced to play the run with Portis opening up the backfield for the easy passes. Lets not forget Clinton's ability to catch and run, kinda Westbrook style, but greater, stronger, quicker!
Washington's defence? Great pick ups in the draft to add on to what was already solid.
Lets not forget how well rested this redskins defence will be with the running game that their offence provides!
Just watch!

[W.HI.P]

Lets take a reality check here for a moment.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the greatest active Quarter-back in the world is
Peyton Manning.
There is absolutely no one to compare him with.
He stands alone.
Last year though, Halfway through the season, Donovan Mcnabb showed superiority over Peyton.
A whole lot of those throws were to the tight end 3rd Wide Reciever and 4th Wide Reciever. Way way down the field! Kinda like what Carson Palmer is able to do.
First of all, Carson Palmer has Chad Johnson to throw to, which is HUGE!
T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a solid #2.
R.Johnson is an amazing option for C.Palmer, he adds the kinda gold Westbrook adds to the Eagels.

Now for the Real Bets:

NFC NORTH Winner:Chicago Bears = 1.33
AFC WEST Winner:San Diego Chargers=1.57
NFC SOUTH Winner:Carolina Panthers=3.00
NFC EAST Winner:Washington Redskins=7.50

NFC Champions

Chicago Bears = 6.00
Philadelphia Eagles = 8.00
Washington Redskins = 26.00

AFC Champions

San Diego Chargers = 6.00
Indianapolis Colts = 6.00
Cincinnati Bengals = 10.00

Superbowl
*~*~*~*~*~*

The bookies have the New England Patriots favorites to win the superbowl and the New Orlean Saints are the favorites to be in the superbowl from the NFC.
Funny thing is, netiher of these teams are capable of making it to the superbowl.

So who will win the superbowl?
I'll tell you!
Not at this particular moment though.

I want to see a few things first.
Pre-season does not offer clear vision.
Too many key players would change the circumstances of who is actually gonna be able to be in the superbowl to win it.
Those players are :
P.Manning and his tools.
L.Tomlinson
D.Mcnabb
C.Portis
If the above 4 players and key units around them are all in health at the end of the regular season, then the superbowl will be:
San Diego Chargersvs Philadelphia Eagles It would be an amazing superbowl!
Indianapolis Colts vs Philadelphia Eagles Colts would win it.
San Diego Chargers vs Washington Redskins Washington would win.
Indianapolis ColtsvsWashington Redskins It would be an amazing superbowl!

If any of those players are not healthy at the end of the regular season, simply eliminate the above games that involve the team without their ace.
Add to the equation the Chicago Bears form the NFC, and the Cincinnati Bengals from the AFC

The Bears would beat the Chargers and lose to the Colts.
The Bengals would beat the Eagels but lose to the Redskins.
The Bengals would beat the Bears.
