We will finally have an answer to who the Fastest Man in the NFL is this summer. There is a lot of buzz for the first-ever 40-yard dash tournament style competition this June, as 24 NFL players vie to see who among them is the fastest player in the league. This competition will feature 12 offensive players and 12 defensive players, and fans can vote on who will face off in the first round at the end of the month.... 

The Buffalo Bills are Josh Allen’s team now. Allen was the team’s first round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and the Bills are ready to see what they have with the former Wyoming Cowboys quarterback. He wasn’t a particularly accurate passer as a rookie, but anyone who watched him in college knew that it would be hard for him to be accurate in the NFL. However, he did prove himself to be a rather adept runner. It will be interesting to see how the Bills use Allen in that regard.... 

It’s not often that a quarterback that led his team to the Super Bowl gets traded, but that’s what happened to Joe Flacco. Flacco was dealt to the Denver Broncos for a fourth round pick in February so that the Lamar Jackson era could begin in earnest. Now, the Ravens fortunes rest on the Heisman Trophy winner’s shoulders, and he will look to follow in the footsteps of Pat Mahomes II by tearing the league up in his second season. ... 

Injuries derailed the Atlanta Falcons’ hopes of making it back to the postseason in 2018. The Falcons were just two years removed from nearly winning their first Super Bowl, but three of their best defenders missed most of the season, and that ruined their chances of making the playoffs for a third straight year. Atlanta is hoping to stay healthy and return to the postseason, but this is one of the toughest divisions in the NFL. ... 

No team fared worse than the Arizona Cardinals last season. The Cardinals finished 3-13 in 2018, and that led to Steve Wilks being one and done as the team’s head coach. Kliff Kingsbury is now the man in charge of Arizona, and there is a new first-round quarterback too. Josh Rosen was taken No. 10 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, but he was traded to Miami to make room for this year’s No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray. How Kingsbury and Murray fare over the next half-decade will determine whether or not Arizona can rise out of the doldrums. ... 

The Los Angeles Rams can’t wait to get on the field again. Since returning to Los Angeles three years ago, the Rams have improved by leaps and bounds from season to season. They went 4-12 upon their return in 2016, but the hiring of Sean McVay proved to be an inspired one. He helped make the offense one of the best in the NFL, and the Rams went 11-5 in 2017 and 13-3 last season. Of course, we all know what happened in the postseason, but Bill Belichick has made a habit of doing that over the last two decades. The Rams are ripe to return to the playoffs, and they are an odds-on favorite to win the NFC West. ... 

One of the most underrated divisional rivalries in the NFL might be the best rivalry in the league this season. The banter between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons has reached a fever pitch. New Orleans finished last season with the best regular season record in the league, but a dubious no pass interference call against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game helped keep them from making the Super Bowl. After hearing 28-3 from Saints fans the last few seasons, the Falcons were quick to show that turnaround is fair play and trolled New Orleans mercilessly this offseason. Those two teams are favored to win the NFC South in 2019, and their two meetings are going to be intense. ... 

The Chicago Bears were one of the surprise teams during the 2018 season. Chicago was expected by almost every analyst to finish in last place in the NFC North, but the Bears turned almost every projection upside down by cruising to a division title with a 12-4 record. The defense was fantastic after the addition of Khalil Mack, and the offense was pretty good in Matt Nagy’s first year in charge of the team. Although almost all of the best players from last year’s team are back, the Bears find themselves only slight favorites over Green Bay and Minnesota. ... 

The 2019 NFL draft was full of potential impact defenders chosen up high. That should make for an intriguing Defensive Rookie of the Year battle this season. Some of the candidates will be put in better situations than others immediately, which is something to keep in mind. Playing time, especially, is key as it allows player to rack up stats.... 

The Philadelphia Eagles are again the favorites to win the NFC East coming into this season. Philadelphia struggled to deal with a brutal schedule the year after winning the Super Bowl, but the Eagles managed to rally at the end of the season to make the playoffs. Now, they are hoping that Carson Wentz can stay healthy for a full season with Nick Foles moving to Jacksonville in the offseason. ... 

One thing about this award is that it takes numbers to win it. And to get the numbers you have to play. Since the 2000 season the Offensive Rookie of the Year award has been won nine times by a running back, seven times by a quarterback and just three times by a receiver. That gives you an idea where the candidates are coming from.... 

The AFC West was supposed to be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL last year, and that proved to be correct. While Denver and Oakland fell off the pace pretty quickly, the Los Angeles Chargers stayed within striking distance of the Kansas City Chiefs and both teams finished at 12-4 after the Chiefs limped down the stretch. Those two teams are much bigger favorites to win the division this time around, as the Broncos and Raiders are considered also-rans. ... 

The race for the AFC South might be the tightest divisional race in the NFL in 2019. There isn’t much separating the favorite (Indianapolis) from the team with the longest odds (Tennessee), and that usually portends a close race between two or three teams throughout the year. The Houston Texans have won this division five teams this decade, while the Indianapolis Colts have won it three times, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have won it once. The Tennessee Titans have not won the AFC South since 2008. ... 

There’s no doubt which team is most hyped coming into the 2019 NFL season. Despite a 1-31 combined record in 2016 and 2017, the Cleveland Browns turnaround over the second half of the 2018 season has made this team the favorite to win the AFC North. Cleveland has only made the playoffs once (in 2002) since re-entering the NFL, but that’s no matter to those aboard the hype train. That’s good news for sharps, as there is plenty of value on the three other teams in the division with everyone loving... 

Death, taxes, and the New England Patriots. The NFL may change in a million other ways, but the New England Patriots will win the AFC East until Tom Brady is an octogenarian and Bill Belichick fulfills his destiny to become Darth Sidious. At least, that’s what it feels like. The Patriots have won 15 of the last 16 AFC East titles, and the only blip over that timespan was in 2008. That was the year Tom Brady tore his ACL in the season opener, but the Pats still managed to go 11-5 with Matt Cassel. Unsurprisingly, New England is a massive favorite to win the AFC East in 2019. ... 

With the 2019 NFL Draft and free agency mostly behind us, the odds to win Super Bowl LIV are set to be largely static for the foreseeable future. It’s no surprise to anyone that the New England Patriots remain the favorites to win the Super Bowl as the ageless Tom Brady has led them to six Super Bowls over the last two decades, while Patrick Mahomes II and the Kansas City Chiefs are the next favorites after setting the league on fire last year. ... 

The demise of the Alliance of American Football took the spring fix away for football fans. Don’t worry, though, the NFL Draft is coming up and the three-day event will get plenty of eyeballs focused on it as fans look to see how their favorite club is taking shape. We’ve had enough of the mock drafts and projected selections, and on Thursday, April 25, we’ll finally find out where the best college football players from last season will end up. And along with the excitement of having your favori...

It’s not up there with the Super Bowl as far as the number of props, but to spice up the draft there are plenty of wagering possibilities.

The NFL Draft has become such a popular event that it gets as much action as any regular season game and, of course, BookMaker.eu is here to take care of all your wagering needs.... 

The First round of the NFL Draft is down to two weeks away. Thursday, April 25 marks the opening of the NFL Draft and with that will be plenty of live betting action offered at Top rated sportsbooks. Quarterbacking phenom Kyler Murray from the Oklahoma Sooners and defensive end Nick Bosa of the Ohio State Buckeyes remain the projected top two picks of the draft. The Big Question is which player goes first. While Murray is the Heisman Trophy winner from last year there are still doubts about his ... 

The live betting is going to be fast and furious for the NFL Draft that will from April 25 through April 27. And at the top over everyone’s concerns is whether or not Oklahoma Sooners Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Kyler Murray is indeed going to go as the first pick of the NFL Draft. The Oho State Buckeyes Nick Bosa missed nearly all of 2018 college football season and yet he could go as high as second in the draft. And then there is the case of the serious flirtation of Dwayne Haskins and the New York Giants. All in all, the story lines and betting angles are unlimited. ... 

The last of the confetti has yet to hit the turf at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and oddsmakers are already looking ahead to next year with the release of odds to win Super Bowl LIV. The teams that competed in their conference title games and held down the top four spots for most of last season are prominently situated on the early release for 2019.... 

Well, we sure didn’t see that coming. Chalk it up to a learning experience for Sean McVay and Jared Goff because they certainly were outplayed and outcoached by the New England Patriots. The Los Angeles Rams failed to score a touchdown for just the second time this season, and unfortunately for them it came in the biggest game of the year. ... 

Just because the game takes a break in the middle of the contest doesn’t mean the prop bets stop. Oh no. Like the action on the field and the commercials that cost a zillion dollars to air for 30 seconds, halftime is a huge part of the Super Bowl, appealing to the casual fans that could care less about the outcome. And, yes Marian, there are people like that in the world. Is there a better way to get involved for people who don’t know football, but want to get a piece of the betting action? I th... 

Tom Brady has been to the Super Bowl enough times that the big stage doesn’t affect him anymore. And it’s showed in his recent performances. The New England Patriots are making their third straight trip to the Big Game and Brady set a Super Bowl record for passing yards in each of the last two. He and Jared Goff of the Los Angeles Rams are unlikely to top the 505 passing yards Brady had last year, but two of the most explosive offenses in the NFL should light up the live betting lines at BookMak...
