If you click over to Sportsbook Review, you can find the online sportsbook of your choice. And when you decide which book is right for you, there you will also see that the oddsmakers from all the majors are hanging odds on the Boston Celtics to win the NBA championship at +950. That’s right, the Shamrocks are tied with the Bucks as the third choice, trailing only the Golden State Warriors (-230), and Toronto Raptors (+750). It makes sense, due in large part because the Celtics have owned the 76ers and the Raps appear to be the beasts of the East. But as the season has progressed the Celtics have sputtered on numerous occasions. Their 37-21 record at the break is good but not breathtaking. Boston has 24 games remaining and questions linger about Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown. Hayward has shown flashes of the All-Star he was in Utah but too often he has been out of sync and overly cautious in his approach. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown appears to be miffed about being relegated to the bench and often plays as though he wants to take his ball and go home. If there are two reasons why the Celtics are underachieving this season, there they are. Unfortunately for Boston, their chief rivals were not content to battle with the cohort they put together at the beginning of the...

Tom Brady’s sixth Super Bowl ring shines a bit brighter than all the others, with perhaps the lone exception being his first when he vanquished The Greatest Show on Turf way back in 2002. This year the Pats were supposed to be a dynasty in the throes of decline, a quarterback whose status among the elite passers in the game was in jeopardy, and a team that would be merely a stepping stone for another more talented lot to trounce, on its way to Super Bowl greatness. But nobody counted on Tom Brady and his band of Patriots to have the temerity and talent to brush all of that discourse aside and just go out and win. Oh, and if you haven’t heard, the Patriots did just that as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 and took home another Lombardi Trophy. If you happened to have clicked on over to Sportsbook Review, read a BetOnline review , and then took a peek at what some of the best online sportsbooks were dealing on Super Bowl 53, you would have seen that the oddsmakers at those premier books, like BetOnline, had installed New England as 2 to 2 ½ point favorites and a total that was in the mid to upper 50’s. The very fact that the Pats were favorites proved that despite what the rest of the nation...

Football is a popular sport and the Super Bowl is one of the most anticipated sports events in the United States. When you want to bet on your favorite team, it is important to evaluate the odds of the team making it to the Super Bowl. As a Patriots fan, you may want to believe that your team will make it to the Super Bowl and win, but you also want to pay attention to estimates based on team performance and statistics to determine if you are making a good bet. Basics of Estimating the Odds Super Bowl betting odds give you an idea of where to place your bet. The odds are calculated from the statistical performance of the team throughout the season. At the beginning of the football season, you can expect limited details about the odds. As the teams play more games, the odds adjust based on their performance and skill during the games. While the odds calculate the statistical probability of your team winning, you should be aware that they also consider the way others are placing their bets. Sports betting odds may adjust the numbers slightly due to interest in a particular team or a high rate of bets for the team. When you are considering a bet on the Patriots, you want to look into their previous games and the games of the other team to determine...

Storied franchises like the New England Patriots have a distinct aroma as opposed to the wretched stench of perennial losers like Arizona, Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Detroit. And because the wafting scent of winning is an aphrodisiac to owners who want what Robert Kraft has, the natural inclination is to reach out and poach someone. Once the regular season draws to a close the hunt is on for those teams that need not concern themselves with the postseason. Yes, the losers are looking to become winners and anyone even remotely associated with a Super Bowl contending club is fair game. Therefore, it is not surprising that Bill Belichick may be seeing the last of his subordinates once the Patriots’ championship aspirations are realized or not. Where coaches like Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels or default defensive coordinator Brian Flores will land is anyone’s guess. However, there are online sportsbooks taking action on just such an occurrence. If you’ve ever wondered how to bet on sports, you might find intriguing proposition wagers like odds on who will be the Jets’ next head coach. Right now, both McDaniels and Flores are prepping their charges for a date at the Razor against the highest AFC seed emerging from wildcard weekend. But undoubtedly the background noise they are hearing is a cacophony of NFL CEO’s, GM’s, and assorted executive management types baying at...

Pats fans will tell anyone who will listen that Tom Brady and company will beat any and all comers no matter the team, the year, or the prevailing circumstances surrounding such an occasion. It’s just what fans in New England do because they’ve been right so more often than not, over the past two decades. The Patriots’ string of success is unparalleled and when football fans talk about dynasties, no longer will Pittsburgh, Dallas, Green Bay, Denver, and San Francisco be debated as to which one has had greater success. It’s all just a moot point as New England has had a death grip on the AFC East forever and has participated in a record 10 Super Bowls, eight of which under the command of the legendary Tom Brady. This year has been a struggle with TB12 looking too much like Matthew Stafford and not enough like Tom Brady. Rob Gronkowski has not been the one-man wrecking crew that has made him the most feared tight end in league history nor does this edition of the Patriots boast a speed merchant that can stretch the field and open up the middle for incomparable slot receivers like Julian Edelman. Josh Gordon was looking to be that guy but alas, no more. If we take a look at how some of the best online sportsbooks in the business view this divisional...

Sunday’s 41-28 win over the Chargers is about as good as it gets for any dyed-in-the-wool Pats’ fan. It was redemption punctuated by a stellar performance from a New England offense that was already proclaimed DOA before the game began. All the talking heads, self-appointed experts, and football pundits were gleefully extolling the end of the Brady/Belichick dynasty. But they didn’t count on the fact that TB12 had two weeks to rest and heal from what many suspects have been an MCL sprain that he has been quietly dealing with throughout most of the season. Many top-notch sportsbooks found over at Sportsbook Review, like industry leader BetOnline, installed the Patriots as modest 4 ½ point favorites but even that line was bet down to four by all the “sharps” looking to make a killing on what they believed was a live road dog with San Angeles. Let’s take a look at some snarky tweets before the Patriots victory: Nick Wright @getnickwright Chiefs-Chargers Round 3 is going to be a ton of fun. The two best teams in the AFC all year. Can’t wait. UNDISPUTED @undisputed “Even if you say Tom Brady is better than Philip Rivers … the Chargers are the better team. They’re a very good road team; they’re 8-1 — they’ve won their last 7 games on the road. With that being said, I’m going to take...
