The dress rehearsal is wrapping up and the NFL regular season is just round the corner. This year, America's favorite fall festivity is surrounded with plenty of drama, which has heightened the interest of the public, and it is clearly evident from the near record betting volumes at LinesMaker, a leading sports betting destination.
For most football aficionados, the countdown to the beginning of a new NFL football season starts right after the end of the Super Bowl. However, even those who don't spend time devising fantasy football rosters are being influenced by the added drama in the NFL.
Favre and the Minnesota Vikings aren't the only ones steeped in drama. However, nothing can probably surpass the hype created over the Vikings' literally begging Brett Favre to accept the pay hike and comeback for a 20th season. To top the self-induced drama, we have the past clashes between the star quarterback and coach Brad Childress as well as receiver Percy Harvin collapsing due to a migraine attack.
There are several dramatic changes going on in other clubs. Arizona Cardinals are desperately in need of someone decent under center. Neither Matt Leinart nor Derek Anderson are good replacements of retired Kurt Warner, so there might be chances that Warner is called back. Moreover, there is the classic battle of wills between Albert Haynesworth and Mike Shanahan, the holdout of cornerback Darrelle Revis, the best defensive player in the roster of New York Jets. The controversial coach Rex Ryan himself, along with the towering Super Bowl expectations created by him is going to add additional drama for the Jets.
In the case of the Bengals, nothing more is needed other than mentioning Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens - in the same sentence no less. Then there are the Eagles, who have left everyone doubting their judgmental skills, after trading Donovan Mcnabb, the greatest quarterback in franchise history, to the Redskins. It won't be surprising if there will be calls for Kevin Kolb to be replaced by Michael Vick.
However these story lines play out, one thing is for certain, sports fans are getting caught up in the drama. Sports betting fans in particular seem to be putting their money where their mouths are as LinesMaker has registered exceptionally heavy betting volume, even before the beginning of regular season. For NFL betting enthusiasts, the level of anticipation is clearly heightened as we wait for the 2010 NFL betting season to get in full swing.
