terrell owens and chad ochocinco bengalsBETUS just released some of the most comical football betting odds I have seen in a while. NFL bettors can now attempt to predict the good, bad, and ugly outcomes expected as a result of Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens becoming teammates in Cincinnati.

The Good

More Touchdowns in Regular Season

Chad Ochocinco -130

Terrell Owens -110

Chad Ochocinco is still Carson Palmer’s favorite target in Cincinnati.

The newly acquired Antonio Bryant, will steal deep targets from both Ochocinco and Terrell Owens but quarterback trust is more important than any other factor in this case.

Play: Go with Ochocinco (-130) to have more touchdowns than T.O. this NFL betting season because he’s still the go-to-guy inside the red zone for Palmer.

More Receptions in Regular Season

Chad Ochocinco -135

Terrell Owens -105

Again, Ochocinco holds the advantage over T.O. as he can still easily post a 70+ reception total in a season.

He still possesses excellent route running ability and a gifted pair of hands.

Aside from 2008, Ochocinco has had 6 straight seasons of at least 72 receptions.

Terrell Owens, meanwhile, has seen a steady decline in his reception totals since his first year in Dallas in 2006.

He fell from 85 receptions in 2006 to 55 last year with the Bills.

Play: Take Ochocinco (-135) to easily eclipse Owens in receptions this season. T.O. looks like he will be more of a specialty package receiver rather than the every-down playmaker he once was.

The Bad

Who Will Be Benched First

Chad Ochocinco +140

Terrell Owens -180

If anyone is going to be benched between Ochocinco and T.O. it’s definitely Owens.

Ochocinco is actually well liked in the Bengals locker room and is a more important piece to Cincinnati’s overall success than T.O.

Play: Terrell Owens (-180) to be benched before Chad Ochocinco (probably for calling out Carson Palmer toughness or favoritism towards other receivers).

Who Will Get More Penalties Called Against

Chad Ochocincco -105

Terrell Owens -135

Owens would be another solid bet to have more penalties called against him this NFL betting season, simply because he no longer possesses the breakaway speed that made up for his mediocre route running ability and set of pancake hands.

Although T.O. is still probably much stronger than any defensive back in the league, it may be a disadvantage when it comes to accumulating offensive pass interference or holding penalties when facing quicker and faster defensive backs.

Play: Terrell Owens (-135) to have more penalties called against him than Ochocinco.

The Ugly

Who Will Be Traded First

Chad Ochocinco +200

Terrell Owens -300

No chance in hell that Chad Ochocinco would ever get traded from Cincy.

He is the face of the franchise and has generated more media attention and ticket sales for the Bengals than any other Cincinnati player in the past decade.
 
Play: Terrell Owens (-300) to be traded first.

Who will Be Arrested First

Chad Ochocinco +150

Terrell Owens -200

Both of these guys have done pretty well to stay out of legal trouble when you consider the number of run-ins they have had with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

I don’t think either player will get arrested but, if I had to pick, I would choose Owens to knockout a Patriots fan week one of the 2010-11 NFL betting season in New England.

Play: Terrell Owens (-200) to be arrested first.

Who Will Get More Fines

Chad Ochocinco -110

Terrell Owens -130

I think Ochocinco is definitely the more creative of the two, and in the NFL (No Fun League) end zone creativity results in bigger fines.

Last season alone, Ochocinco was fined $50,000 for end zone celebrations. In comparison, Terrell Owens has only managed to accumulate half that amount ever in a season.

His biggest fine was a $24,000 slap on the wrist for his infamous touchdown celebrations against Dallas in 2000.

Play: Take Chad Ochocinco (-110) to have more fines than T.O. this 2010-11 NFL betting season.

Jets vs Bills Wagering Lines NFL Thursday Night

terrell owensNFL Thursday Night Wagering: TO Heads North to T-O
By Chad Rogers

Terrell Owens loves attention and it doesn’t matter where it comes from: Media, coaches, QBs – he’ll take it all. Imagine the fun he’s having this week as the Bills host the New York Jets as -3 wagering lines faves in the city that’s known as “T-O” for short.
 
But part of the reason Owens is in such good spirits these days is because of the added attention he’s received on the field. Buffalo’s No. 1 wideout has been targeted nine times per game the past three outings after being thrown at just six times per game through the first eight weeks.
 
It’s turned into better yardage – always good in a contract year. It has put Owens back at the center of the media in Buffalo, where he feels he deserves to be, and it’s made a few fantasy players happy. More importantly, it has translated into Buffalo’s most impressive win of the year, coming last week vs the Miami Dolphins.
 
This Thursday the Bills are “hosting” the New York Jets (-3) at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada and coming off that 31-14 home win in Week 12 the entire team has reason for optimism. Buffalo already beat the Jets 16-13 in overtime when the clubs first met in Week 6 and under the guidance of interim head coach Perry Fewell the team’s performance has only gotten better.
 
Online sportsbooks have set the New York Jets as 3-point wagering lines favourites, with an Over/Under number set at 37.
 
New York is also coming off win, 17-6 vs the Carolina Panthers and although it wasn’t the kind of game the Jets planned going in, it was the outcome New York needed to keep its thin playoff hopes alive. The Jets are one game below .500 and just two games back from the New England Patriots. Sparked by the Pats Monday Night Football loss in New Orleans bettors can expect both of these AFC East rivals to fight hard for a win.
 
For the Jets it means getting Mark Sanchez to cut down on the mistakes that cost him in his first loss to the Bills. The rookie was 10-of-29 for 119 yards and five interceptions and it revealed his inexperience as a starter, which is what critics have cited as his biggest downside all along.
 
Winds were howling the last time these teams met, but in the comfort of the domed stadium Sanchez should perform better. The QB tweaked his knee last week but it is not considered serious and he will start.
 
The Jets play three winnable games, starting this week with Buffalo and then Tampa Bay and Atlanta on-deck. Just one more loss and the already slim hope of catching the Pats will be all but gone. An 0-5 ATS mark in their last five games in December makes the team an even bigger longshot.
 
Buffalo is dead last in the league stopping the run, giving up 165 rushing yards per game, so while the Bills center their game plan around Owens, look for the Jets to rely on its ground-game.
 
Over/Under bettors may want to note that although Thursday games in 2009 have produced five unders and no overs, the posted total of 37 is the lowest Thursday total yet. Betting totals in Thursday night games last year produced a winning record of 6-1 to the "Over". I’m wagering on the Total in this one, betting the Over 37 at SPORTSBETTING.com.

I also played the Thursday night “NFL Pick The Winners” contest, taking a shot at a free $50 win (and it’s free to play). Enjoy the game.
