The Oakland Raiders could be a good bet for whole season on point spread and money line for NFL betting handicappers, and might be able to start at the beginning.
On Thursday night, the Oakland Raiders will travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys for a preseason game that they should win outright.
The Cowboys have played in the Hall of Fame game and came with a comfortable 16-7 win. Betting fans also saw them come away with a season-ending injury to third-string tight end, John Phillips, while he does not play big-time, you have to wonder if the Cowboys will play it even closer to the vest in Week 2.
Sports betting odds makers may underestimate the Raiders now. In the preseason, they will have a quarterback rotation of Jason Campbell, Charlie Frye, Kyle Boller and Bruce Gradkowski. All four quarterbacks have made numerous starts in the NFL.
The Raiders are getting 3.5 points on the game and they have done very well in their first preseason game of late. The Raiders are 4-0 in the last four years and they might come up with flying stars in this game too. The Raiders need to achieve a lot than Dallas as they knew their identity, team goals and the ones who are heading into this season. In turn, that should yield a motivation factor in both the teams.
NFL Football Betting Pick: Raiders +3.5

India’s Struggle for Second Position in Tri-Series
India needs to win against New Zealand in Today's match. India with 118 points can rank in the second position. If India wins all the matches then, it will get 125 rating points.
If India looses every ODI, then they would drop to 6th place from 2nd position with 111 rating points.
If India loses today's match against New Zealand then, they will be shifted by the Kiwis from second place. But, the kiwis need to beat Sri Lanka in their next match to reserve their position.
Sri Lanka has chances to rank in second place. However, they must win all their four matches and hopefully, New Zealand wins in either of the two ODIs against India.
Australia is in the first position with 132 points and New Zealand (114) is placed fourth, while Sri Lanka (111) is in sixth position behind England (113).
ODI Ratings:
ODI rankings for batsmen: Mahendra Singh Dhoni with (807) leads the field
ODI rankings for bowling: Daniel Vettori leads, but he will lose points for missing the series, as a player loses 0.5 percent of its ratings points for each ODI he misses.
ODI all-rounder ranking: Oram currently occupies sixth position.

NFL Season - Denver Broncos, how can they do this year?
The Denver Broncos were 6-0 after new head coach, Josh McDaniel and their defense looked like it was a reincarnation of the ‘85 Bears.
The Denver Broncos started out last season with such promise. The money kept on NFL betting with Denver Broncos for Super Bowl Odds was pretty good. Though, everything was going well in the Mile High City, there were few injury concerns which spoiled the chain.
The offenses were dried up and the defense started to bend. Before they knew it, a 6-0 start had tapered off 2-6 in a limp to the finish the line. The promising football odds 2009 season of Denver has ended in the same way they had in mediocrity.
And as did the previous off-season, the Broncos dealt yet another pro bowl player away. Last year was Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall this year. The Broncos drafted to replace Marshall, but it’s very difficult to replace one of the largest, quickest and most productive wide receivers in the game. Those who are evaluating the results now see two players disappeared and one coach with an 8-8 career record remaining.
However, optimism still prevailed in training camp and the Broncos odds were again supervised by the NFL experts. Still, subsequent injuries to second-year running back Knowshon Moreno and sacks leader Elvis Dumervil have left the Broncos scrambling. Sports betting now features the team as a 50/1 Super Bowl betting longshot, hardly the place many people thought they’d be after last season’s 6-0 start.
So how can they do this year? Smart money is about adjustments and trial and error. In other words, with Denver missing key players don’t be surprised if they tank it early and play the youngsters, trying to get a top draft pick.
