NFL over/under season win totals
NFL training camps are opening this week and fans are trying to figure out how well their favorite team is going to do this year. Well, sports books here in Las Vegas have had over/under season win totals up for three months now. The odds below are from the Las Vegas Hilton. These numbers, which have been pounded into place by bettors, are a pretty good indicator of each team's strength.
For those unfamiliar with these kinds of bets, you can bet on a team to either exceed (go "over") or fall short of (go "under") its posted total. With NFL teams only playing 16 games, a half-game can mean a lot, so instead of having standard odds of -110 (bet $1.10 for every $1 you want to profit), the price on these are adjusted toward the side the bookmaker expects the money to come, or in the direction the money has already flowed.
For instance, a lot of people are talking about the Falcons after Michael Vick was indicted in connection with a dog-fighting ring. When the Hilton first put up these odds, the Falcons were 7 1/2 but the odds on the over were -165. Bettors have been betting the under most of the spring in case something were to come of the allegations and even before Tuesday's announcement the under was favored at -120.
Check out the Tuley the Tout page. Over the course of the next few weeks leading up to the start of the NFL preseason, my alter ego will be posting recommendations for each team.

I actually found the site while searching for some horse racing intel .... I saw this site listed in a forum and recognized your name from the Leroy's Sports Hour show.
Looking forward to all the football previews.
