May 10, 2020   Game guide   No comments

In preparation for the upcoming NFL football season, here are team-by-team forecasts highlighting key information that you can actually use to cash in next season. These team forecasts are designed to provide insight on predicting total teams wins, so that you can take advantage of the value found in wagering on the Total Team Wins futures propositions.

NFC East: Predictions

Philadelphia Eagles: Prediction Over 9.5 Wins – The Eagles finished the regular season with an impressive string of wins and they head into next year as the team to beat in the NFC East. Philadelphia will need to make some improvements to their offense, but will have (QB) Donovan McNabb back in action leading the attack. With versatile (RB) Brain Westbrook’s ability to make big plays, the Philadelphia offense should be back in high gear.

There is always a lot of pressure on McNabb to finally deliver a championship to Philadelphia. With some off-season improvements, the Eagles should once again reach the double-digit mark in wins this year.

Dallas Cowboys: Prediction Over 9 Wins – The Cowboys had a great rebound season earning 9 wins. Much of that success was due to Dallas’ top-ranked defense and the emergence of (QB) Tony Romo leading the offense.

Several upgrades to the offensive paid off, especially with the addition of (WR) Terrell Owens. Dallas also has a pair of solid running backs with Julius Jones & Marion Barber, so they can also move the ball effectively on the ground.

The QB situation took an unexpected turn last year with (QB) Drew Bledsoe losing his job early to career backup Tony Romo. Romo was able to make an immediate impact on the team, turning around the season and giving the Cowboys a shot at the division title.

On defense the Cowboys have made some strides developing their 3-4 setup and the addition of new head coach Wade Phillips, should go along away to improving this unit even further. Look for the defense to be even stronger next season, which should take this team over the 9 win mark and seriously challenge for the NFC East title.

New York Giants: Prediction Over 8 Wins – The Giants are another team entering the season with several personnel changes hoping to improve on a mediocre season. New York got off to a red-hot start winning 6 of their first 8 games, but faded down the stretch going only (2-6) in their last 8 & were lucky to backdoor themselves into the playoffs.

Offensively, the Giants are going to have to fill the void left by the retirement of All-Pro (RB) Tiki Barber. Second-year (RB) Brandon Jacobs looked great at times during the season, but also stumbled, so it is questionable whether he can be relied on as an every-down-player. To help elevate this potential problem, NY acquired veteran (RB) Ruben Droughns from the Cleveland Browns. Droughns should be a good fit sharing carries with Jacobs.

The pressure will certainly be on (QB) Eli Manning to finally step up his game and prove that he was worth that 1 overall pick a few years ago. Thus far, Manning has not been reliable in big games and is yet to win in the playoffs.

Badugi Poker Its a Change

Whether you’re playing blackjack online or you’re under the roof of one of a beautiful casinos in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo, the good news about blackjack is that the rules are not only universal, they’re also universally easy to understand. In fact, a kid of eight can easily master the skills necessary for winning blackjack. Better yet, blackjack is very fun to play, so it’s rare that you’ll find yourself bored when playing this game.

The Primary Objective of the Game

In poker, the primary objective would have to be something vague such as “getting the best hand possible”. But when it comes to blackjack, the objective of the game is simple: the cards with an equivalent value to 21 or the one nearest to it wins. Simple to understand, isn’t it?

Who is Higher and Who’s Lower?

In poker, you have to familiarize yourself with what a flush looks like and what a full house compromises, then remember which one is higher. In blackjack, however, there are no card combinations to memorize. In fact, all you have to do is compute what the value of your cards is and if you still need to improve on it or stick with what you have.

The counting system for blackjack is just like how it is with Lucky 9, only it’s a wee bit – emphasizing the wee here – more complicated. Cards numbering two to ten are counted as they are. Face cards – that would be the royal couple, the king and queen, and of course, the third wheel, the jack – are equivalent to ten while the ace can be calculated as one or eleven. You alone shall be able to determine whether your cards would be better off with an ace worth one point or eleven.

Who Wins and Who Doesn’t?

In poker, people who believe that their cards are not that strong or up to par with their competitors’ immediately choose to fold or give up. In blackjack, while there’s no such thing as folding, there is such as thing as an immediate game loss – this is what happens when your cards are busted. Cards are busted when the value totals something more than twenty-one.

If you have busted cards, you lose right away or have to wait for the next round to play.

Betting

Before you can play blackjack, you must always place your bet on the table first.

Lastly, if your first two cards are identical, you can divide them and play them separately.
