FOOTBALL NFL ARTICLES

When you bet on the NFL using bitcoin there are plenty of times things don’t go the way you expect or want them to. Handicapping games and studying trends makes for more informed bettors, but we have no control over what takes place on the field. Teams do things they don’t normally do, players have bad games and others have great games, but the bottom line is you just don’t know. I guess in a way that adds to the excitement of playing a NFL parlay since many moving parts have to come together in order to cash a winning ticket. I’ve done well on my parlays this season winning three three-team tickets while successfully picking better than 57 percent of the individual wagers. With only three weeks remaining in the regular season time is of the essence to win another NFL parlay. There are some great matchups in Week 16 with the Christmas night tilt between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers featuring the top two teams in the NFL. ... 

After nearly missing a three-team parlay I came back strong last week to make sure that didn’t happen again. And it didn’t with all three wagers connecting to give me yet another winning NFL parlay at my crypto sportsbooks. I wasn’t picking on the Eagles as some sort of personal vendetta since they cost me a winning parlay by rolling over for the 49ers a few weeks ago. Nope, they were trending down and I jumped on the red-hot Cowboys minus the points in the crucial NFC East showdown. Dallas is one of if not the hottest team in the NFL and they’re undefeated at home, so it wasn’t a stretch to back the Boys. It’s a different story this week with Dallas hitting the road to Buffalo. Meanwhile, the Eagles get a break from a tough stretch of games and don’t face a team with a winning record entering Week 15 for the remainder of the season, starting with Monday’s tilt in Seattle. There is a full weekend of games with a Saturday triple header on tap and every team is in action with no more bye weeks. ... 

As it turns out backing the best team in the league isn’t always a winning proposition. The Eagles were the only thing that stood between me and another winning NFL parlay last week at my bitcoin sportsbook. We hit the final four weeks of the NFL regular season with playoff races and positioning heating up. And like last week proved anything can happen. Two of the top teams in the AFC lost with Kansas City and Jacksonville falling one game behind in the overall conference standings with their setbacks. And the NFC race tightened up with the Eagles now holding just a one-game bulge over a trio of teams for the top spot in that conference. ... 

I was on a nice heater back in the middle of the season winning two parlays in the span of several weeks. It’s easy to go cold at the betting window and it’s safe to say I’m slumping right now. The betting Gods have a way of getting even. It’s happened before and I trust that it’ll happen again which is why I’ll continue to bet NFL parlays at my bitcoin sportsbook. For those keeping track last week was a dandy for favorites with teams laying points going 14-2 SU and 13-3 ATS. The only outright losers bookended the week with Detroit losing on Thanksgiving Day and Minnesota falling on Monday in NFC North matchups. With that out of the way let’s get back to winning NFL parlay picks for the 13-game Week 13 slate. ... 

It’s not often that you have a good time when watching your NFL parlay fail. From a pure drama and suspense angle last weekend was full of both. Once again I can say I came close but the eventual result was a losing ticket. After hitting on over 60 percent of my individual picks for the season, the last two weeks weren’t very good. I was on the verge of another winning parlay at my bitcoin sportsbook but the Cardinals spoiled it by not scoring after getting into Houston territory on three consecutive fourth quarter drives. Like I’ve said just about every week, it’s hard to win a parlay and the unpredictable nature of the NFL just adds to the complexity of the assignment. With seven weeks remaining in the regular season it’s time for me to get back to winning, which starts again in Week 12. ... 

I said following my Week 9 near win that if you’re going to lose a NFL parlay it might be better to have several picks that fail. Well, it happened to me last week. I felt confident with my four-team play but the unpredictable nature of the NFL has a way of messing things up. As it turns out the entire card was shot with more losses for the first time in over a month. Three of my four picks failed to connect and it’s been three weeks now since my last parlay win. At least the Cleveland Browns prevented me from having a worse week at my crypto sportsbook. The Browns upset Baltimore as a 6-point dog for their third straight payout and fourth in five games. And like I said last week I’ll put this one behind me and forge ahead to Week 11 of the NFL season looking for a winning parlay card. ... 

I don’t know if I can handle the drama and intrigue of a NFL parlay when I bet on the NFL using bitcoin. Sometimes it’s almost worth it to have several losing picks on a ticket rather than to endure what I had to last week with the Dallas Cowboys. My other two picks won and I needed the Boys to cover the 3-point spread in their clash with Philadelphia. Dallas had an apparent touchdown overturned on video review and a 2-point conversion waved off. Then they failed to score after reaching the Philly 6-yard line with less than 30 seconds to play. The result was a 28-23 Eagles win. Oh well, that’s why they call it gambling. I’ll put that one behind me and forge ahead to Week 10 of the NFL season looking for a winning parlay card. ... 

Once again I came close to hitting a three-team parlay, but as you know there are only a few instances were coming close counts and NFL parlays aint one of them. So it’s back to the Crypto Sportsbook drawing board for my Week 9 NFL parlay picks as I look to cash a... 

I came close to hitting another three-team NFL parlay last week when sports betting with bitcoin losing by an eyelash, okay several eyelashes, in backing the Chargers and Browns. Still, it hasn’t been a bad month with a pair of three-team winners in the last four weeks fattening the bankroll. It’s no time to get complacent with the NFL season reaching the midway point and all 32 teams in action for Week 8 of the campaign. Showing just how volatile the NFL is underdogs prevailed in seven of the 13 games last week with eight dogs earning a payout. The Patriots were the biggest upset winner shocking Buffalo 29-25 while catching 7.5-points on the closing line. We also saw a big upset on Monday night with Minnesota beating the Niners outright as a 7-point dog. ... 

When riding a heater it’s sometimes best to extend the action. After hitting a three-team parlay for the second time in three weeks I’m feeling confident that I can increase the number of wagers on a parlay card and continue to come out ahead. The one problem is that Week 7 has fewer options when you bet on the NFL using bitcoin with six teams enjoying a bye and only 13 games on the slate. With five payouts in six games the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins are the most profitable teams in the NFL with both in action and catching points on Sunday. Winners of four straight the Lions head to Baltimore as a 3-point dog. In a potential Super Bowl preview the Fins visit Philadelphia as a 2-point dog on Sunday Night Football. ... 

After hitting a three-team parlay in Week 4 things didn’t go my way last week. And any excitement over a potential winning ticket was squashed early when the Bills were upset by Jacksonville in London. I even mentioned that the travel could be an issue against a team already stationed in the UK. That could have had something to do with Buffalo’s slow start. I like the Jags and think the postseason is a possibility for them, but their defense in no way reminds me of the 1985 Bears, which is why t... 

I said after going 2-1 on my Week 3 NFL parlay picks that a winning ticket was right around the corner. It turned out I was right. My three picks hit last week when sports betting with bitcoin giving me my first winner of the season. The handsome payout associated with a winning parlay gives you some wiggle room when it comes time to making wagers. You don’t need to win as often as say a teaser, which has a lower payout due to buying points in your favor. Winning a three-team parlay isn’t easy, which is why the odds are so good, and it’s a good feeling when that ticket pays off. It helps when betting on the NFL to keep an ear open to injury reports. A few more quarterbacks went down in Week 4, though the injuries aren’t considered serious. Let’s keep the heater on parlay picks going into Week 5 of the NFL season. ... 

The tricky thing about playing a parlay at a Bitcoin sportsbook is that one wrong outcome can ruin an otherwise good ticket. And in the end it’s a loser since every bet has to hit in order to pay out. That’s what happened last week with my three NFL parlay picks. It was a better outcome than the previous week hitting two of three picks after going 1-2 in Week 2. I guess that means I’m trending in the right direction with a winning ticket on the other side. One thing to keep an eye on when betting the NFL is injuries. We saw a few more quarterbacks come up lame in Week 3. Derek Carr exited with a shoulder injury and although he finished the game Vegas’ Jimmy Garoppolo was treated for a concussion. ... 

With Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season upon us it’s time to get serious about our betting methods and technique. Actually the method for our parlay picks will remain the same with a three-bet ticket. The technique needs to change, however, after losing two of three wagers on last week’s card. So I’ll scan the lines for the upcoming games at Crypto Sportsbooks looking for the best value picks. I feel for the New York Jets, who did everything they could to get into a position to reach the playoffs. One thing you can’t account for is injuries and the Jets had the most serious one with Aaron Rodgers going down. I still had faith backing them and 9.5-points last week. Zack Wilson isn’t the answer, though, and Gang Green is in trouble. ... 

The good thing about NFL parlays is that a winning ticket can set you up for several weeks. The bad thing is they’re hard to win, which is why the payout is so handsome. I went with a couple of two-team parlays in Week 1 of the NFL season splitting both and coming out with my finger and thumb in the shape of an L on my forehead. With the ode to Smashmouth singer Steve Harwell out of the way I’ll move on to my Week 2 NFL parlay picks at Bitcoin Sportsbooks looking for my first win of the season. Had I combined the Detroit Lions bet with the Baltimore Ravens on a single ticket, I’d be rolling in dough. Unfortunately those winners were on separate tickets with the Steelers on the moneyline and Seattle minus the points. Ugh, those two were ugly. Pittsburgh got steamrolled by San Fran and the Seahawks were a mess against the Rams. Unlike Aaron Rodgers, I’ll continue to play the rest of the season. ... 

If you have some extra cash lying around and want to increase the entertainment value of your first betting week of the NFL season, parlay bets are a fun investment. A parlay consists of multiple bets on the same ticket with shops accepting as many as 12 bets, though the numbers and odds vary at different crypto sportsbooks. And you can have different types of bets on the same ticket, but they all must win in order to pay out. Winning nine bets on a 10-team parlay makes for a great story, but it’s still a loser. With a majority of teams sitting starters and regulars for much of the preseason, we didn’t glean much from the exhibition games. Most of what we know and handicap is based on past results and a lot can change, so I’m heading into Week 1 cautiously optimistic about my NFL parlay picks. But we’ll see if I can make a few bucks anyway. ... 

Week 3 offers two nationally televised prime time Bitcoin Betting games to wrap up the 2023 Preseason. Also, NFL Network has a normal assortment of action to give fans a final appetizer before things get real in Week One of the regular season. Friday night on CBS, the Detroit Lions visit the Carolina Panthers. Both teams have captured the imagination of gamblers but for opposite reasons. Detroit is touted as a team that can finally break out into a legitimate contender. At the same time, the Panthers are trying to get the number one overall draft pick in 2023, Bryce Young, up to competence at QB. ... 

Week 2 is the best week of the 3-week Preseason. That is because most teams will want to get their regulars at least some action before the final week of the exhibition late. Next week, teams will focus on marginal players trying to make the final roster cut. Week 2 ends with an attractive ESPN matchup of the Baltimore Ravens at Washington Commanders. Washington has been making more headlines than anyone else in the preseason. First, the Commanders are finally rid of the scourge known as owner Dan Snyder. And there is hopeful talk of the franchise restoring the nickname “Redskins” in the 2024 campaign. ... 

At the onset of the week is excitement about the first full week of NFL Preseason football. However, gamblers will scramble to keep up with the continuous lineup changes. For the established NFL contenders, the main objective is to escape the exhibition season without a major injury. Beyond that, these contenders will focus on working with new players and discovering role players to add to roster depth. As a result of the dynamics of preseason football, live betting is increasing as a popular alternative. Although NFL exhibition games don’t remotely resemble the regular season intensity and quality, it is football. And for millions of gamblers and fans, that is enough. ... 

It’s unlikely that we will see any starters take the field, but there will still be plenty of excitement for the Hall of Fame Game between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. This is the first game of the new calendar season, and tens of thousands of fans will be in attendance while millions of fans watch this game from home. The 2023 NFL Preseason will get underway this week as the New York Jets take on the Cleveland Browns in the Hall of Fame Game. These teams will meet on Thursday, August 3, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC from Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. ... 

Three different teams have won the NFC West over the last three seasons. The Seattle Seahawks claimed the division in 2020, the Los Angeles Rams topped the division on their way to winning Super Bowl LVI in 2021, and the San Francisco 49ers finished first in the NFC West last season. This figures to be a two-horse race this season as the Los Angeles Rams are in salary cap hell and the Arizo... 

Every team in the NFC South has claimed at least one division title since 2015 and two division titles since 2012. That makes this one of the more even divisions in the NFL, so don’t be surprised if we see a lot of parity in the NFC South this season. All four of these teams have major question marks, and there is a decent chance that the team wins this division finishes with a sub-.500 record. ... 

There is no clear-cut favorite to win the NFC North. Currently, the oddsmakers have the Detroit Lions listed as the team to beat in the division, but the Lions haven’t claimed a division title since 1993. This hard-luck franchise has only won four division titles since its foundation in 1930, so it’s a bit dangerous to trust the Lions to finish atop the NFC North. That’s part of the reaso... 

The Philadelphia Eagles put together one of their best seasons in franchise history in 2022. Philadelphia was the top team in the NFC all year long, finishing with a 14-3 record on its way to locking up home field advantage. The NFC Playoffs were a breeze for the Eagles as they routed the New York Giants in the Divisional Round and then crushed the quarterback-less San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Philly led the Kansas City Chiefs at halftime of Super Bowl LVII, but Patrick Maho... 

Incredibly, every team has won the AFC West 15 times. That speaks to the long-term egalitarianism we have seen in this division, but that’s also just a snapshot in time. When you look closer, this is a division that has been defined by mini dynasties going on long runs of dominance against their division rivals. For instance, the San Diego Chargers won the AFC West five times between 2004 and 2009...
