To continue feeding the NFL fever I wanted to share with all of you NFL fans an interesting facts that shows the power, strength and spirit of true American Football. Let’s start by remembering that since 1970, the Super Bowl has served as the NFL championship game, prior to that merge, the National Football League Champion was determined by a team’s win-loss percentage, with ties omitted.
Since1934 the winning team for the NFL championship received the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy, named like that in honor to a noted referee, rules expert, sporting goods dealer. The trophy was passed along from champion to champion each NFL season and each year the championship team’s name used to be inscribed on it along with a replica trophy for them to keep, however the original NFL championship trophy is now missing.
Among the most impressive NFL records of these championships:
· The Cleveland Browns’ Edwin “big play” Berry was the MVP for six straight appearances in the NFL championship game.
· The Green Bay Packers were the team with most NFL championships (12 in total) and won 3 straight championship games.
· In the 37 NFL Championship the teams from the Western Division / National / Western Conference won 25 of the games to the Eastern Division / American / Eastern Conference teams total of 12.
Regarding attendance to the NFL championship games, there are two very impressive dates:
- Largest – 85,693 in 1955 at Los Angeles.
- Smallest – 13,341 in 1941 at Chicago.
With all these fun facts, we would like to continue enjoying this year’s Super Bowl, NFL history is definitely being made while you are here reading this small article.

It seems none of the last NFL Super Bowl contenders started with the right foot, as both the Giants and the Patriots lost their own exhibition matches. NY fell against the Lions by 13-10 and New England saw their first defeat against the Baltimore Ravens.
So when it comes to NFL gambling, these first introductory football games are really important as you get to see what the current conditions of the teams are.
I think the Patriots are still a strong contender for the NFL championship, but now that Brett Favre has joined the Jets, the AFC East has suddenly turned tougher than in the previous pro football season where the Pats had it easy against NY and other weak teams like the Dolphins and the Bills.
On the other hand, the Giants were considered by critics as one of the weakest teams at the NFC East before winning this past Super Bowl, and now that division has turned into one of the most difficult of the NFL, with the almighty Cowboys, the Eagles and the Redskins, who have a renewed roster and have good chances of winning the NFC East.
So who will make it further? I would say the Patriots, but the Pats have played just one exhibition game and it might be just too early to talk on that matter…

I’ve been wagering on NFL football for quite a while, and I have to say that betting on NFL futures is one of the things that I enjoy the most.
This is because you get to bet NFL football with a clear vision of what you think is coming ahead, and it doesn’t matter what happens near the date of the NFL football event on which you placed your bet on, the odds are fixed and won’t change, so let’s say that you are betting one of the weakest teams of the NFL to win the NFL championship, and since the payout is higher when you bet an underdog, if that team gets to win, you will surely collect more money for less investment.
Plus you can gather with friends and make predictions, and I’m sure everybody will have their own insights of what the coming NFL football season will be, so you can get more good opinions before laying any cash.
It’s just like at the beginning of the past NFL football season; a friend of mine placed a bet for the Giants to win the Super Bowl, and the NFL odds were not good, but he’s a big NY fan, so he was truly satisfied with the money he made when the Giants beat the Patriots at the past NFL Super Bowl.
Try some futures out; you’ll have a lot of fun during regular football season hoping for your predictions to come true!

There is no question about what Conference is the best of the NFL football league, the AFC or the NFC… I guess you know the answer…
The AFC has a strong team and contender for the NFL championship on each Division, starting with the East, which has the Patriots, the North with the Steelers, the South with the Colts, and last but not least, the West with the Chargers.
And from these teams, who has it easier on their own Division? I will have to say the Chargers. They play against other 3 teams that have no chances of doing good this coming NFL football season, while the toughest has to be the South, with the Colts dealing with the Jaguars, an NFL football team that had a great season last year, and the Titans, who are expected to win at least 9 NFL football games.
And from the four, who’s going to win the AFC title this time? Hmmm you might say the Patriots, but I think the real run will be between the Chargers and the Colts, with San Diego possibly going to the Super Bowl. But anything can happen, maybe an underdog will step up and have a great year, who knows…
