2010 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: NFL Schedules and Odds

The 2010 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are longshots this season in Super Bowl 2011 odds but do have the chance to get off to a good start for their 2010 NFL schedule as they will host the Cleveland Browns on September 12th. Online sportsbooks have the Buccaneers +12500 in Super Bowl 2011 odds to win the championship, +1700 longshots to win the NFC South and an over/under regular season win total of 5.5 UNDER (-140). That is followed by a NFC South rivalry match at the Carolina Panthers on September 19th. The tough Pittsburgh Steelers will visit on September 26th and then the Bucs will take off for an early week 4 bye on the NFL schedule. Tampa Bay returns to NFL betting action with an October 10th game at the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals.

Tampa will open a two-game home stand on the NFL schedule against division rival and the defending world champion New Orleans Saints on October 17th and should be one of the biggest home underdogs in NFL odds

NFL Power Rankings: Week 12

1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (10-0)

The oddsmakers had the undefeated Colts underdogs at Baltimore, expecting a letdown after that incredible comeback win over the Pats.  Peyton Manning, however, is never an underdog.

2. (2) New Orleans Saints (10-0)

For the fifth straight contest, New Orleans was not ahead after one quarter of play.  The Saints certainly played a lot better over the final 45 minutes, but they can’t afford to get off to a slow start next Monday Night against New England.

3. (4) Minnesota Vikings (9-1)

I’m not happy about it, but Brett Favre has to be near the top of the list of NFL MVP candidates right now.  He leads the league in QB rating (112.1) and has thrown the least amount of interceptions among full-time starters (three).  I’d still go with Manning right now, though.

4. (5) New England Patriots (7-3)

Any given Sunday was the case last week in the NFL, as the Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals all sent the mighty tumbling to the mat. And Washington probably should have beat the Saints, but the outcome of that game epitomizes the “day late, dollar short” story that will cap Jim Zorn’s short career once the season is over.

The Bengals strengthened their foothold in the top five of our rankings, but the next two weeks (at Minnesota, at San Diego) will show us Cincinnati’s real playoff potential.

Not wanting to overreact, when the Pittsburgh Steelers lost straight-up to Cleveland last Thursday our power ranking minds immediately started pondering how much weight the upset should have on overall ratings. The Steelers were No. 9 on last week’s chart but that loss was not the kind of football we’ve come to expect over the past few years from this team.

It must be a similar situation for an online sportsbook when writing a line after such a surprising lack of effort from an inherently good team. Do you make them a big dog the next week or bank on public support for the team that was upset to dust off and come back strong?

If the rankings were based on the past month Big Ben would probably be positioned somewhere down near the Ryan Fitzpatrick’s and Josh Freeman’s of the league. But the BetRepublic.com ratings our based on full season performance so the

Sunday Is Satellite TV Day For Football Fans

When it comes to football, one thing is undeniably true: people are more than simple fans these days.  Whether you spot a middle-aged man with his shirt off and face painted, hollering and yelling from the stands, or a teenaged girl with her hair dyed the colors of her favorite team catching long passes from her father in the parking lot outside of the stadium, it is clear that simple fan-hood has been thrown out the window and has been replaced by extreme fanatics, and nothing less.  This does not mean that sane people do not follow football.  Rather, football has become such a big part of many people’s weekend routine that they have taken their passion to uncharted territory, to a new level altogether. This is simply indicative of how much football means to people these days.  While sports have always been an important part of our culture and society, football’s recent surge in popularity is truly unmatched in the history of spectator
