Here at Bankroll Sports Picks, we are always looking for ways to keep you up to date and informed on all the latest NFL betting odds, predictions, and news.  Looking to beat the football betting odds this year by betting NFL team win totals???  Or, do you just want to see what your team’s 2013 NFL win total odds are; as you’re wondering how many games the oddsmakers think your favorite NFL team will win in 2013. Today, we look at the upcoming 2o12 NFL season team win totals for all 32 of the teams in the league.  We also will discuss what we think each team will need to do to get above or stay below their projected season win total.

Arizona Cardinals 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 5.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Head Coach Bruce Arians was a savior last season in Indianapolis. Can he do the same for the Cardinals? This feels like a relatively low number for a team that doesn’t look that bad if you take away the quarterback position. Too bad the NFC West is a nightmare to try to win games in.

Atlanta Falcons 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 10 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Most make the assumption that the Falcons are going to be one of the best teams in the NFC once again this season. QB Matt Ryan has really only won from the time that he has stepped on the field in Atlanta, but we aren’t sold that he is winning 11 games once again this year in what could be one of the toughest divisions in the league. There is a case for all four teams to win the NFC South for sure.

Baltimore Ravens Projected Season Win Total: 8.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Essentially, the oddsmakers are saying that the playoffs are more likely to go on without the Ravens this year than with them. That’s weird to say about the defending Super Bowl champs, but then again, it’s awfully odd to think that a team that just won the Super Bowl had to go through as much of an overhaul as these Ravens did.

Buffalo Bills NFL Season Win Total Preview: 6.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – In QB EJ Manuel we trust? The Bills think that the Florida State product is going to be able to turn around the fate of this franchise in a hurry. He’d better be able to, because there are a lot of overpaid players who are underachieving elsewhere on this roster.

2013 Carolina Panthers NFL Season Win Totals: 7 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – It feels like the Panthers have an over/under of around seven wins every year. This is the season that Head Coach Ron Rivera has to finish above .500 in, or he is going to be sent packing. QB Cam Newton has a lot of pressure on his shoulders right now as well to succeed in this, his third year with the club.

Chicago Bears 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 8.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – QB Jay Cutler is out of excuses now. He’s got an elite receiver in WR Brandon Marshall, and he is rid of former coach Lovie Smith. Head Coach Marc Trestman is a quarterback guru, and he is surely going to be running a wide open offense this season in the Windy City. If Cutler can’t succeed now, he’s never going to.

Cincinnati Bengals Projected Season Win Total: 8.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Bengals are our favorite team this year in the AFC North. Baltimore has hit the reset button and is building around QB Joe Flacco. The Steelers have sent a lot of their older players packing. Meanwhile, Cincinnati is buzzing with QB Andy Dalton and WR AJ Green as the leaders of what is turning into a pretty darn good offense. The Bengals might be set for a third straight playoff appearance this season.

Cleveland Browns NFL Team Win Total: 6 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The oddsmakers probably have this one pegged, though we wouldn’t be all that surprised if the Browns ultimately figured out how to inch near the .500 mark this season. This defense was one of the most underappreciated in all of football in 2012, and adding LB Paul Kruger and LB/DE Barkevious Mingo is only going to help matters out.

2013 Dallas Cowboys NFL Season Win Totals: 8.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Dallas is playing in the most wide open division in the game this year, as there are a ton of questions in the NFC East. The good news is that no one is going to be caught sleeping on the Redskins any longer with RG3 at the helm. It’s a make or break season for Head Coach Jason Garrett, who will probably be fired by Thanksgiving if the team isn’t competing.

Denver Broncos 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 11.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – QB Peyton Manning has himself a heck of an offense around him this year. WR Eric Decker, WR Demaryius Thomas, and WR Wes Welker could all be 1,000-yard receivers when it is all said and done with. The problem, if there is one, is that the defense could turn out to be a bit suspect. Still, this is a really high number, as Denver would be asked to win 12 games this year to go past its season win total.

Detroit Lions Projected Season Win Total: 8 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Will the real Detroit Lions please stand up? The Lions of two seasons ago made the playoffs and really looked like they were going to take a jump up to the next level as one of the competing teams in the NFL. The Lions of last year though, looked a heck of a lot like the Dolphins that we are used to seeing on a regular basis.

Green Bay Packers NFL Season Win Total Preview: 10.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Packers had the highest over/under in the game last year at a whopping 12, and they ended up falling short of that number by a game. The season win total is a bit more modest this time at 10.5, and we think that the rest of the NFC North is probably just a bit down from where it ended up last season. QB Aaron Rodgers and the Pack very well could be underrated.

Houston Texans 2013 NFL Season Win Total: 10.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The schedule is hellacious at the end of the year for Houston, so if you’re betting the over, you’d better hope that this is a team that is at least 9-3 through its first 12 games of the season. The Texans have a history of punting a few games down the stretch that they have no business punting, and that has kept them from byes in each of the last two seasons. This is only about the regular season though, and we really like the way that this team looks.

Indianapolis Colts 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 8.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Last year, we had egg on our face. The Colts were only projected to win 5.5 games, and we made fun of it, thinking that it was way too high. Whoops. Indy proved us wrong, and the oddsmakers have bumped the number up to 8.5 as a result this season, one of the most dramatic jumps that any team has taken in the league. Can QB Andrew Luck avoid the sophomore slump? If he can, it’s tough to think that the Colts are going to win fewer than nine games, especially with four games coming against the Titans and Jags.

Jacksonville Jaguars Projected Season Win Total: 5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – RB Maurice Jones-Drew was nowhere to be found for most of last season, and this year, he might be over the hill. The Jags didn’t get a new quarterback, and the Blaine Gabbert/Chad Henne experiment isn’t going to work for long. The only thing that we’ll say nice about Jacksonville is that the schedule sets up nicely. That’s all that is going to keep this club anywhere near this necessary six-win mark to get to the over.

Kansas City Chiefs NFL Season Win Total Preview: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – KC was the worst team in football last season, but the whole franchise has hit the reset button. QB Matt Cassel is out. QB Alex Smith is in. Head Coach Romeo Crennel is out. Head Coach Andy Reid is in. The AFC West still stinks outside of Denver, and the wins are going to be there for the taking against some of the shoddy teams that finished in last place in the AFC divisions last season. Many think that this is the surprise team of 2013.

2013 Miami Dolphins NFL Season Win Totals: 8 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Dolphins a playoff team? When you really think about it, outside of Houston, New England, and Denver, who else is guaranteed a playoff spot in 2013? Not really anyone. The Dolphins spent a lot of money in the offseason, and they are going to do what they can to try to get into the second season this year and out of that realm as one of the average teams in the league.

Minnesota Vikings 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Another oops on our part from last year. The Vikings had an over/under of just six wins, and we thought there was no chance that they were going to get to seven wins. They got to 10, they reached the playoffs, and yet their season win total only inched up to 7.5. Vegas was built off of people betting the over on props like this one. We don’t see RB Adrian Peterson running for 2,000+ yards again this year, and as long as that turns out to be the case, this isn’t a .500 team.

New England Patriots Projected Season Win Total: 11.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Patriots have had an odd offseason. They are going to start the season with virtually every single viable option from last year’s passing game no longer on the club for one reason or another. TE Rob Gronkowski isn’t healthy, and we don’t know when that is going to change. Still, is there anyone doubting the Brady Bunch right now? He’s still QB Tom Brady, and he still has Head Coach Bill Belichick at his disposal. We have to think that New England is at least going to threaten this 11.5-win mark.

New Orleans Saints NFL Season Win Total Preview: 9 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Saints were lost last season without Head Coach Sean Payton. Now, Payton is back, and he should be bringing the aggressive style back to the Bayou. QB Drew Brees had a good statistical season last year, but he just didn’t seem as effective in the clutch late in games. Expect more out of New Orleans this year.

New York Giants NFL Season Win Totals: 9 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – It almost seems like a guarantee that the Giants are going to finish somewhere between eight and 10 wins this season, and seemingly every season. This one has got some added pressure to it, knowing that the G-Men are essentially hosting the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium. QB Eli Manning could get the job done.

New York Jets 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 6.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – See ya, Rex. At least Head Coach Rex Ryan was able to get rid of QB Tim Tebow in the offseason, but the bad news is that he wasn’t able to get rid of the buttfumbler himself, QB Mark Sanchez. We really think that the team should just start QB Geno Smith right now, as that might give New York the best chance to win. Don’t forget that the Jets still have the talent to have an elite level defense, too.

Oakland Raiders Projected Season Win Total: 5.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Oakland’s over/under was seven wins last year. When the laughter stops, we’ll continue. Is QB Matt Flynn going to be the answer to the Raiders’ woes? Somehow, we just don’t believe that this franchise is really ever going in the right direction.

Philadelphia Eagles NFL Season Win Total Preview: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – This is the biggest wild card team of the bunch this year. The Eagles have some talented pieces, though they are a bit less talented without WR Jeremy Maclin in the fold after his ACL injury. QB Michael Vick could be a perfect quarterback for Head Coach Chip Kelly’s system. Will Kelly be able to make magic in the NFL the same way that he did for all those years at Oregon? Eventually, the answer is clearly going to be yes, but in Year 1, that might be a little tough.

Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Season Win Totals: 9 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Pittsburgh offensive line is still so-so at best, and the team around QB Ben Roethlisberger just doesn’t look all that great. So why is Pittsburgh’s over/under nine wins this year? We think that a lot more of it has to do with the fact that they are the Steelers, so of course, they should be winning at least nine games every season. In actuality, we think this is a 7-9 team this year.

San Diego Chargers 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – We had the Bolts pegged last year as an under team for our season win totals, and we think that they are going to be behind the times once again in this one. Head Coach Mike McCoy might be able to bring this team to a competitive level again, but the bottom line is that this is no longer a team that is going to be able to say that it did less with more than anyone else in football. The bottom line is that most of the talent on this team is now old talent.

San Francisco 49ers Projected Season Win Total: 11.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – When you’ve got two games against the Seahawks and your schedule starts with Green Bay, Seattle, Indy, St. Louis, and Houston, not to mention the fact that you have four East Coast trips lined up from October through December, it’s tough to want to bet over on your season win total. The Niners might be the best team in football, but they aren’t getting to 12 wins with this horrendous schedule.

Seattle Seahawks NFL Season Win Total Preview: 10.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – A lot of the problems that the 49ers have, the Seahawks have as well. They do dodge some of the top teams that San Francisco has to play though, and that might make all the difference in the world. Seattle went a perfect 8-0 last year at home, and if QB Russell Wilson is for real, we aren’t putting it past the Seahawks to do it once again in 2013.

2013 St. Louis Rams NFL Season Win Totals: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Rams really had a tremendous season last year relatively speaking. Head Coach Jeff Fisher has them going in the right direction. The issue that this team has is that it just isn’t set at the quarterback position. Time has to be running out on QB Sam Bradford, and if he doesn’t prove that he was worthy of being the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft all those years ago, he is going to have to be replaced and replaced very soon.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2013 NFL Season Win Totals: 7.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – Tampa Bay proved to be competitive last season under rookie Head Coach Greg Schiano, and a few additions along the way on the defensive side of the ball might carry this team to the playoffs. In the end though, we know that QB Josh Freeman is going to be under the gun from the get go, and with rookie QB Mike Glennon and his big arm sitting on the sidelines and the team still featuring a ton of cap money to spend in the future, Freeman had better watch his back.

Tennessee Titans Projected Season Win Total: 6.5 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – QB Jake Locker just isn’t that good. He’s a bust who is always injured, but the team is hanging onto him due to the fact that there really aren’t many great options. This receiving corps might be one of the most underrated in football, but you’ve got to have a quarterback that can get the ball out quickly and an offensive line that can protect to make receivers mean anything. The schedule isn’t so bad in the AFC South, though.

Washington Redskins NFL Season Win Total Preview: 8 @ GT Bets Sportsbook – The Redskins made the playoffs last season under rookie QB Robert Griffin III, but he tore his ACL in the playoff game and is clearly in question for the start of the season. Still, we think that this defense is going to carry this team to at least a .500 mark this year. This win total should be at least a half game higher in our eyes than it is, even if Griffin does have some issues. We have confidence in QB Kirk Cousins as well.

There are a number of big time rookies on the defensive side of the ball that have a lot of potential this year, and NFL betting fans are going to have a tough time sorting out who should win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Check out these NFL betting futures odds on which player will walk away with this illustrious defensive honor.

The top defensive player drafted this year was Morris Claiborne (Odds To Win Rookie of the Year: 6 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook). We know that Mo has a heck of a lot of talent; just ask his college coach, Les Miles. Claiborne has the potential to step right into the secondary of the Dallas Cowboys and make a big difference, especially knowing that he is already on a ‘D’ with some talent. That being said, it is usually awfully difficult for a rookie DB to come in and win the Rookie of the Year honors, knowing that interceptions don’t usually come as often as sacks, and certainly not as often as tackles. It would take a yeoman’s effort this year for Claiborne to win the Rookie of the Year honor.

And that’s why we think that the top linebacker that was taken in the NFL Draft, Luke Kuechly (Rookie of the Year Odds: 5 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook) could be the man that walks away with the honor. Kuechly was a tackling machine in college for the Boston College Eagles, and though we think that he was drafted a good 6-8 spots too high, we do have a real appreciation for what his new team, the Carolina Panthers are trying to do. The Panthers play a heck of a lot of defense, and teams usually try to run the ball down their throats with their weak defensive line. That’s how Kuechly set all sorts of records in college with tackles. He has a nose for the football, and when he gets going, there might not be a lineman in the league that can keep him from getting his hands in on the tackle on a running play up the gut. Don’t be all that shocked if Kuechly ends up with well over 100 tackles for the season, and if that turns out to be the case, he’ll be the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

We feel like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a great selection when they took Mark Barron (Top Rookie Safety To Win Rookie of the Year: 12 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook) with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft. Barron just knows how to win. He can come up and make tackles against the run, and he is a ball hawker in the secondary as well. Barron is the man that was picked by Head Coach Greg Schiano thanks to his leadership and his skills, and he could end up bringing that sense to the Tampa Bay secondary, just as John Lynch did when the Bucs were at their best in franchise history. We don’t know if those intangibles will end up helping Barron win the Rookie of the Year Award, but we definitely want to keep a close eye on his stats, which might be good enough at the end as well.

Defensive linemen this year might be a tad tough. We’d be willing to give a shot to Bruce Irvin (Defensive Rookie of the Year Betting Lines: 20 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook) of the Seattle Seahawks. We think that Irvin and Whitney Mercilus have the best chance to lead all rookies in sacks this year. Head Coach Pete Carroll has been looking for pass rushers for quite some time, and Irvin might be the man that is able to do that. A lot of these West Virginia defenders have proven to be vicious at the next level, and Irvin might be the next in line to really make an impact at the NFL level. Carroll, a defensive specialist, believes that picked the best pass rusher in this draft, and if that really is the case, this could be the Defensive Rookie of the Year at a very, very nice price.

It has already been a heck of an offseason in the NFL, and the preseason is just a few short weeks away from starting! Check out the odds to win the Rookie of the Year award for 2012 in the NFL on the offensive side of the ball, as there should be a number of different players that have a great chance of claiming this illustrious honor.

If you’re the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, you’re expected to step right in and lead your franchise. That’s why Andrew Luck (Odds To Win Rookie of the Year: 2.75 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook) is the man that is favored to take this award down. Much like Cam Newton last year with the Carolina Panthers, Luck figures to come in and immediately become the face of this franchise. The problem though, is that the cupboard is relatively dry with the Indianapolis Colts, and we really figure that Luck is going to struggle a heck of a lot like Peyton Manning did all those years ago in his first campaign in the NFL with the same franchise.

That’s why the man that was drafted No. 2 overall, Robert Griffin III (Rookie of the Year Odds: 4.50 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook) seems like the better choice in our eyes. RGIII already has a cool nickname that should help him out from his college days in terms of notoriety, and he has a heck of a lot better team around him. Remember that his Washington Redskins had to trade up to get him. This is a team that has a good defense and can make Griffin look like a winner without him doing all that much. It’s Griffin’s team for sure, and just like Newton did last year, he’ll get the job done with his arm and his legs. The idea of 3,500 passing yards and 500 more on the ground isn’t out of the question, and if that turns out to be the case and the Skins at least challenge the .500 mark, Griffin might ultimately be the man that walks away with this honor.

It’s difficult for a non-quarterback to win the Rookie of the Year honors, especially in a year in which there are some great QBs to choose from. However, if there is a man that we are going to want to take a chance with at receiver, it is Michael Floyd (Top Rookie Wide Receiver To Win Rookie of the Year: 10 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook). Sure, we hear all of the moaning about Justin Blackmon and how he is going to be the only offensive star on the Jacksonville Jaguars, but we just don’t know if he is going to have the quarterback to get the job done. That being said, the Arizona Cardinals don’t exactly have the greatest foundation in the world, knowing that Kevin Kolb might not even be able to win the starting job for the year, but this offense typical likes to throw the ball all over the place. Larry Fitzgerald really wants some help, and Floyd might be just what the doctor ordered.

However, if you really want to go off the board just a bit, the man that we would give a chance to is Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ running back Doug Martin (Offensive Rookie of the Year Betting Lines: 15 to 1 @ WagerWeb Sportsbook). We really think that Martin is going to be able to take the job as the starting back for the Bucs, because it doesn’t feel like LeGarrette Blount is the back that Head Coach Greg Schiano wants to saddle his horse to. Martin is a running back’s running back, and he is going to have an opportunity to win a heck of a lot of carries. The Boise State Bronco is a winner on the field, and he could become the power back that puts Tampa Bay into the end zone quite a bit. Are 15 touchdowns totally out of the question? That might be a bit of a stretch, but we think that it could happen.

Bovada Sportsbook is always the home for some of the best NFL props out there, and today, we are going to analyze the Peyton Manning props that just hit the board now that he has signed with the Denver Broncos, along with the odds on where Tim Tebow will be playing next year.

Denver Broncos Regular Season Wins Over 10
Remember in the AFC West, there are six games that Denver really should take at least five of. There’s no reason to not win the mass majority of the games on this type of a slate. The Broncos still have the defense to get the job done, and they still just tend to find some ways to win games, and in the end, we would be a lot less surprised to see them win 11 games than to see them win just nine or fewer as long as Manning proves to be remotely healthy.

Peyton Manning Under 4,000 Total Passing Yards
We know that Manning has had very few bad seasons in his career. He has played in 13 seasons in the past, and of those, he never had fewer than 3,739 yards, and he exceeded 4,000 yards in 11 of the 13. However, Head Coach John Fox is a guy that wants to run the football, and it isn’t just because Tebow couldn’t really throw the football to save his life. Jake Delhomme never threw for 4,000 yards in a season with Fox calling the shots with the Carolina Panthers, and though we know that Delhomme is no Peyton Manning, it just doesn’t seem like it is in Fox’s nature to let Manning throw the ball the 525-550 times required for him to reach 4,000 yards. Remember that injuries could come into play as well, and if Manning isn’t good to go for the full year, he won’t be anywhere near this number in all likelihood.

Peyton Manning Total TD Passes in 2012 Season Over 28.5
Now, this is a different story. Manning has absolutely pristine precision in the end zone, and though his arm strength might not be what it once was, we have to reason to believe that he still won’t have the eye and the accuracy to be able to put the ball exactly where it needs to be. There are some big, tall receivers that are playing here in Denver, and once Manning builds that rapport with them, there are going to be a heck of a lot of opportunities to score. Remember that the AFC West had some miserable defenses last season, and they aren’t going to be getting any better. We have to think that Manning has 30 TD potential this year.

Peyton Manning Total INTs in 2012 Season Over 16.5
Yeah, sure. We hear you. Manning really was only this bad at the very beginning of his career, and he surely is going to be very careful with the football here in Denver. That being said, we think that the arm strength issue could be a concern. There are a lot of gambling corners out there that are going to love to get a piece of Manning, and he became a bit pick happy in his last two seasons, tossing 33 INTs in that stretch. Manning could be worth 20 INTs this year.

Will Peyton Manning Win 2012 NFL MVP? (+700)
Really, Bovada? Only 7 to 1 on this prop. No thanks. Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady are all going to be frontrunners for the MVP award at the start of the year, and we just don’t see that changing at any point in the near future. Manning won’t have the numbers this year to get the job done, and in all likelihood, he probably won’t even be considered when push comes to shove.

Will Peyton Manning Win Comeback Player of the Year? (+100)
Now, here’s a lot smarter prop. Manning doesn’t have to be a super stud to win this award, just knowing that there usually aren’t a ton of great candidates for this honor when push really comes to shove. The story in Denver is going to be great to follow this year, and the media is going to be all over Manning. As long as he stays on the horse, he should be the Comeback Player of the Year.

Where Will Tim Tebow Play Next Year?
Jacksonville +150
Denver +175
Miami +175
New England +700
Cleveland +1200

Oh, Denver, what are you going to do here? The most logical place for Tebow to land is in Jacksonville, but the Jaguars just signed Chad Henne and still have Blaine Gabbert, who was only just put into the fray last season as the team’s No. 1 draft pick. Dare the Jags give up on Gabbert and give Tebow a shot? He’ll sell uniforms, but he might not do much more. We just don’t see the Broncos hanging onto him, as we think that that situation will get toxic in a hurry with the media that will be in the Mile High City. The Browns do need a quarterback, but trading in Colt McCoy for Tebow just doesn’t seem to be that much of an upgrade. They’re both proven winners and both work incredibly hard, and Tebow just doesn’t strike us as a Cleveland type of guy. New England is a team to consider for sure.

The Pats have all sorts of love for Tebow, from the fact that Head Coach Bill Belichick loves drafting Gators to the fact that Josh McDaniels, the new OC for the team, is the man that traded up to draft Tebow in Denver. Still, if we had to guess, Tebow is going to be bringing his talents to South Beach. The Dolphins fans are starting to rise up against ownership, and the team needs to make a splash. Sure, it would have been a lot better to land Manning, and heck, it probably would have been better to end up with Matt Flynn, too. However, Tebow at least brings a name to the team, gives it a shot of having a starting quarterback at the NFL level that has won some games, and gives ownership the ability of adding another glitzy name, just like Serena Williams and all of the other big names that have small ownership of the team.

Earlier this summer, we broke down all of the NCAA College Football Conferences and provided some betting tips of who to keep on your radar for the 2009 season. Well the season is upon us, meaning the speculations and predictions of how the teams should perform are out the window. We have had the luxury of watching college football teams take the gridiron on the main stage and perhaps have a better understanding of what to expect for the remainder of the season. One thing that is certain for the 2009 season is that everyone is vulnerable to the upset bug. There has been 5 different top 5 ranked teams fall to upsets and last week 4 top 10 teams were beaten on the same weekend. The shakeup among the rankings is an equal indicator of how wide open the conference races will be for the remainder of the season. The major conferences have a long road before crowning their next champions. Based on some early performances and expectations, we bring to you a more updated look at the 2009 Conference Championships.

ACC Championship Odds

Current Odds To Win The ACC:
Boston College +2000
Clemson +1200
Duke +10000
Florida State +400
Georgia Tech +600
Maryland +7500
Miami +400
North Carolina +600
North Carolina State +1000
Virginia +10000
Virginia Tech +150
Wake Forest +2000

The Miami Hurricanes appeared to be the surprise contenders in the conference jumping up to an early 9th place national ranking while capturing big wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech. However as quick as dreams for an ACC Title appeared feasible, Virginia Tech crushed the Hurricanes 31-7. Miami still has chances, but they have been desperately dampened considering they reside in the coastal division with Virginia Tech. However, the entire conference still has many contenders. Florida State has just one conference loss even though they have played very inconsistent. North Carolina and Georgia Tech both have one loss. The Yellow Jackets are perhaps too one dimensional in the running game to truly contend and North Carolina dropped their first test of the year against Georgia Tech last weekend. The Atlantic division still has a wide open race for a team to get in the ACC Championship, but the talent level is pretty significant drop off from the Coastal division. We predicted Virginia Tech in our first conference predictions and we are sticking with that decision strongly. The Hokies suffered a small letdown losing to Alabama in their opening game, but with all respect Alabama is among the very best in the nation. The Hokies blew out their big test against Miami and also managed to pullout a close out of conference win against a solid Nebraska team. The Hokies defense gives them the advantage to beat any team in the ACC. Also, Tyrod Taylor is starting to make plays with his arm which would be a huge boost to the team that has relied on the premier running attack.

The Big East is still as wide open as any conference in America. Cincinnati exploded to capture the crown in 2008 and are well on their way to making claim for a repeat. Despite some key losses, the Bearcats senior quarterback Tony Pike is a passing machine with 11 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions already this season. Pike gives the Bearcats every chance to have a huge season and a big reason Cincinnati has reached the number 10 ranking in the nation. South Florida took a big hit losing QB Matt Grothe which has to play into factor for the rest of the season. Sure the Bulls beat Florida State without Grothe, but it did not require a great passing performance from B.J Daniels to accomplish the feat. Perhaps we will see just who takes the early lead in the conference when South Florida meets Cincinnati in two weeks. Pittsburgh is the surprise story of the conference with a 4-0 start. Freshman running back Dion Lewis is sensational. The Panthers may not have the firepower to take down the conference this season, but best believe they will decide who does. Of course you also have to keep West Virginia in the picture due to their great rushing attack. Noel Devine is still among the best backs in the conference, but it may be the West Virginia defense that prevents them from returning to glory. The Mountaineers have allowed 27 points per game against some very average teams and they will only face better teams throughout the year. The likely scenario here again is Cincinnati repeats. South Florida will most likely fade, but Pittsburgh has the team to be the big surprise as they also get their biggest games at home. However, the Bearcats should bring down the conference but it may be very close.

The Iowa Hawkeyes have shaken up the Big Ten for the 2nd straight season in a row taking down Penn State. The Hawkeyes have the talent especially on offense to contend with any team in the league. However, in some of the brutal low scoring games controlled by the running game which is fairly accustom to the Big Ten may not favor the Hawkeyes. Rich Rodriguez has the Wolverines back in the spotlight as the conference’s number 1 rushing team averaging 240 yards per game on the ground. It will be interesting to see if the Wolverines emergence back to the top can continue as the schedule toughens. Ohio State is the leading candidate to take down the conference. The Buckeyes defense is still extremely talented and is only allowing 11 points per game. If the offense can pick up the pace, our preseason pick in Ohio State will still be extremely tough to beat. Penn State is still going to be a factor despite an early loss. The Nittany Lions are still perhaps the most talented team in the conference, but they too need the offense to pick up the pace.

The 2008 college football season was the year of the Big 12 as their explosive offenses took center stage and did not disappoint. However, the high scoring offenses of the Big 12 have not been very convincing so far this season. Oklahoma was upset in their opener to BYU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech both lost to Houston, Iowa State was blown out by Iowa, and the emerging Nebraska Cornhuskers were put back in the place by Virginia Tech. However, the Cornhuskers are better than expected and they will be heard this season. Nebraska has a balanced offense and a defense that will put them in every game they enter. The Jayhawks are expected to come out of the North, but they will have their hands full with Nebraska. Of course the winner of the South division will likely be the winner of the Big 12. Oklahoma State received tons off attention this summer due to their offense before struggling out the gates. The offense has been mediocre for Big 12 standards and it is unlikely they are going to beat out Texas or Oklahoma. However, the Cowboys still have the firepower to upset either one of the two. Texas is the overwhelming favorites as Colt McCoy already has 1,145 yards and the Longhorns offense is averaging 49 points this season. The Oklahoma Sooners have seemingly been thrown out the picture ever since their loss to BYU and Sam Bradford went down due to a shoulder injury. However, the Sooners are yet to play their first conference game and could be firing on all cylinders by the time they meet Texas on October 17th. The Oklahoma defense is going to give the Longhorns all they can handle in that meeting and if they force McCoy to a few turnovers the Sooners will be back on top of the Big 12 once again. The schedule may be tougher for Oklahoma to manage, but their defense along with the sharp running backs makes up for any letdowns in the passing game.

The Oregon Ducks nationally televised loss to Boise State on opening night put their hopes at a Pac-10 title on the backburner even though it was not a conference loss. However, the performance was fairly terrible and the Ducks were simply written off making the conference likely a two horse race between California and USC. The Trojans of course have had a share in 7 straight Pac-10 titles and are big favorites to win again. However, they have a huge road test with California this weekend they could really make a difference in the conference race. California reached the number 6 ranking the country last week behind Heisman hopeful running back Jahvid Best. However, the forgotten Oregon Ducks completely blew out California in a 42-3 thrashing. The Ducks recorded their 2nd straight win against a top 25 team and catapulted themselves right back into the conference race. USC already has a conference loss to their record as they were upset by Washington who was winless in 2008. The Trojans are under control from a freshman quarterback Matt Barkeley. For that reason along with the losses on defense, we predicted this would be the year that the Trojans do not make their claim at an 8th straight title. California could possibly confirm that prediction with a win over the Trojans this weekend and give the Golden Bears and Oregon the upper hand in the conference race. The Trojans defense is sure to make things tough for their opponents, but their inconsistent offense production will take its toll. We predicted California, but listed Oregon as the dark horse in the preseason. However, Oregon’s opening night loss may have been the best thing the team experiences this season. They are playing like a completely different team and they already have one of their biggest victories out of the way to bring down the Pac-10. We going to reverse that earlier prediction and put Oregon ahead of California to win the Pac-10 Championship especially with the odds begging for attention.

If you are not a Florida Gators fan, you may be possibly tired of hearing about the Florida Gators. However, you have to respect what they are trying to accomplish which is a 3rd national championship in 4 years which is simply ridiculous. Still, the odds are favoring Florida so much it nearly makes it a lose-lose situation to bet on. Mississippi appears to have been over rated after getting shut down by South Carolina. LSU is in similar situation, but they have escaped the upsets. However, the Tigers may not be able to escape their meeting with Georgia this weekend. The Tigers have not been able to run the ball and that will not get them anywhere in a SEC Title race. Auburn should start getting some attention as they are truly developing nicely. Auburn will not win the conference by any means, but they have every possibility to upset someone that has hopes to win the SEC. The race really comes down to the two teams that meet in last year’s SEC Championship. Florida as stated before are huge favorites considering their elite defense returned every starter from last year’s championship team and are holding teams to just 7 points per game which is best in the conference. Also, is there any need to even mention the Gators are led by Tim Tebow? However, Alabama is still a team for worthy consideration. The Crimson Tide is ranked number 3 in the country with quality wins over Virginia Tech and Arkansas. The Crimson Tide offense appears to be more dangerous this season than they were in 2008 behind veteran players like John Parker Wilson and Glenn Coffee. However, QB Greg McElroy can make the throws and has just 1 pick this season compared to 7 touchdowns. Mark Ingram has been very effective on the ground and the offense is spreading the ball around well through the air. The Crimson Tide defense remains the team’s strength, but with more firepower developing on offense they are going to be very tough to beat. It may seem absolutely crazy to go against Florida, but Nick Saban knows how to win the big games and when these two teams meet again in Atlanta that could very well be the outcome. Sure 99% of everyone will go with Florida, but getting Alabama at +250 odds is something to take a gamble on.
