NCAA Football Betting Lines

Austin, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Texas has agreed to a four- year contract extension with Mack Brown that will keep the head football coach on the Longhorns' sideline through 2020. Brown, 60, has been the head coach at Texas for the past 14 seasons and led the program to a national championship in 2005.

 

This past season, the Longhorns went 8-5 and defeated California in the Holiday Bowl.

 

Brown has compiled a 141-39 record during his tenure in Austin.

 

Crocker has been on Villanova's staff for seven seasons. He served as the defensive line coach for six years and was elevated to linebackers coach and special teams coordinator in 2011.

 

Bellantoni joins the Wildcats staff from Eastern Illinois, where he was an assistant from 2001-2011, including as the defensive coordinator (2002-2011) and the associate head coach (2007-2011).

 

Florida Atlantic is coming off a 1-11 season in the Sun Belt Conference.

 

Wagner's other two non-conference game will be against Patriot League schools, at Georgetown on Sept. 8 and against visiting Holy Cross on Nov. 10.

 

"When we combine our league schedule in the ever-improving NEC, with the challenge of playing an FBS program in Florida Atlantic, along with two winning programs from the Patriot league, it's obvious our student-athletes will be tested in 2012," said Wagner head coach Walt Hameline, who will be embarking on his 32nd season with the Seahawks.

 

Wagner won its final three games to finish 4-7 this past season. Among next season's key returnees are running back Dominique Williams, quarterback Nick Doscher and leading tacklers Mike Lombardo and Carl-Olivier Prime.

 

Sept. 8, at Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

 

Sept. 15, Monmouth*, Staten Island, N.Y.

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
