Betting On Star Power
By SPORTSBETTING.COM
Quick, name the most popular players in the NFL?.chances are among the first names to roll off the tongue were Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and now in the mix is Dallas? Tony Romo.
Heading into Week 4 action, the early money is following the star power.
Tom Brady and the Patriots have been tabbed as the bettor?s favorite in the game with the most lopsided action so far, their Monday nighter vs. the Bengals. Obviously bettors haven?t missed the fact this New England offense has been unstoppable through the first three weeks (scoring exactly 38 points in each of the three games). The money is pouring in on Brady and crew as a 7.5-point road favorite, with 97% of the volume locking in a ticket on the undefeated visitor.
And you can guess what side the bettors are backing on the Over/Under. The total has been bet up to 53, and that lofty number still isn?t scaring away the Over money. Cincinnati?s defensive struggles have been on display early and often this season, resulting in anticipation of a shredding by an offense with weapons everywhere.
Another 3-0 team, the Packers, are the team attracting the money in the second most lopsided betting matchup of the week. Green Bay is pulling in 96% of the wagering volume as a 1.5-point road favorite over divisional rival Minnesota. The Brett Favre-led Packers have been impressive, surprising most observers with their unblemished record after three games, while the Vikings continue to try to find consistency on offense.
This will likely be a memorable week for Favre, as he?s ready to break Dan Marino?s record for career TD passes. SPORTSBETTING.COM has a prop wager available on the timing of the record.
When will Brett Favre break Dan Marino's career TD passes record vs. the Vikings:
You can wager on whether it will happen in the 1st quarter, the 2nd quarter, the 3rd quarter, the 4th quarter, overtime, or he doesn?t break the record.
And what about America?s team? The Dallas Cowboys can also brag about a spotless 3-0 mark coming out of Week 3. The offense, featuring Tony Romo and what appears to be a maturing Terrell Owens, has been almost as impressive as the New England unit. They?re hosting a decimated St. Louis lineup, and predictably, the line reflects both the momentum of the Cowboys and the troubles the Rams are dealing with, as the home side are 13-point favorites. The line has been bet up to 13, and could get pushed even higher if the current trend continues, as Dallas is getting virtually all the action (95% of all the wagers).
Not to be left out, Peyton Manning and the Colts are hanging in the high rent district with the crew above, as bettors are lining up behind Indy at a 90% clip in their battle with Denver. Indianapolis are sizeable favorites, at -9.5, but laying big points at home is a role they?re familiar with.
If the stars align, it should be a very good week for the betting public.
Dog Bites

The betting public just isn?t comfortable laying 4.5-points with this Dolphin team?how uncomfortable are they? Well, enough that they?re backing the Oakland Raiders at a 65% clip.
But the underdog attracting the bulk of the attention is a scrappy Tampa Bay team who have won two games in a row. This week they head to Carolina as a 3-point dog. This road dog is receiving 75% of the betting volume. This will be their second road game of the season, as they lost both straight up and against the spread in their season opener in Seattle.
