Football Picks and Predictions for 2013-14 NFL And NCAA Seasons

It's time to get started if you want to get your bets in early for the 2013-14 NFL and NCAA football season. The Golden Nugget released its betting lines for the 2013-14 NCAA football season, covering 250 of the most important match-ups. Here are a few of the highlights based on the odds makers' football predictions.
Bet on Alabama
The odds makers are putting their money on Alabama. Whether you want to bet on individual games or on the BCS National Championship, Alabama may be the one to beat. This year's BCS champion is favored to do a threepeat on the season, and is favored to win in every single game they play this year by all the usual suspects who offer football picks. In fact, they're favored to win by 17 points or more in all but two games. 
Other "Sure" Bets
The Nugget's lines are listing a total of five teams favored to win every time they stop on the field during the 2013-14 NFL and NCAA football season. In addition to the Crimson Tide, Georgia, Louisville, Ohio State and Oregon are all favorites in every one of their games this season. 
Hidden Gems
If you like to bet on the underdogs, you'll love Iowa this year. The Hawkeyes are listed as underdogs in every game they play for which the Nugget's odds makers have set a line. In four of those games, they're double digit underdogs, so it's obvious that Vegas doesn't expect to see them in the bowl games.
Patriots for the Super Bowl?
Have the winds shifted for the Pats? Just a few weeks ago, the New England Patriots were a heavy favorite as 2014 Super Bowl contenders, but it's been a rough couple of weeks for the Pats, who could be starting the season down two tight ends - not to mention dealing with some blows to morale. Between Gronkowski's back surgery and Aaron Hernandez' arrest, the team is likely to start off the season a little on the shaky side.
Get an Early Start with the NFL Preseason
The 2013-14 NFL pre-season starts with the Hall of Fame Game on August 4, when the Cowboys battle the Dolphins in Canton, Ohio. If you decide to bet on the pre-season, consider these tips. Know which coaches play the pre-season as hard as they do the regular season to help you make the right football picks. Look for real action in teams where there's competition for starting positions in the regular lineup. Don't forget to check out the training camp reports for insider information to help you make the right football picks in the pre-season games. Select a few teams and focus on them instead of trying to cover the whole field.
Even though it's awhile until the 2013-14 NFL and NCAA football season gets seriously underway, you can start developing your betting strategy and placing some bets now with the help of some insider information.
