Take your head out of the final four odds for a second March Madness betting fans. Remember Donte Stallwaorth’s recent car troubles? Now think back even further – remember Maurice Clarett?

Well, apparently Clarett has some advice for Stallworth, which will make some NFL betting fans laugh (Courtesty of CFT):

“I haven’t been interested in sports seriously since 2003 but I am familiar with who Donte is,” Clarett wrote. “I wasn’t aware of the situation when I received the question but became educated on it as the week passed. I believe that the situation is unfortunate for both parties.

“I think there is a lot to be learned and I hope and wish the best for everyone involved. I know what it is like to lose a loved one in a car accident and I know the stress that comes with your life being in limbo and prison potentially being in your future. Both situations are very uncomfortable.”

Interesting stuff.

NFL betting fans probably don’t care about either players anymore. Right now, hoops betting is more important but I figured I’d pass along this funny note.

The final four odds are posted but if you are one of the few that isn’t focused on March Madness basketball betting right now, then let me ask you this: should the Detroit Lions trade the 1st pick overall in the 2009 NFL Draft?

Sportsbook odds indicate that the Lions will keep it, but the bottom line is that there are so many holes to fill on that team that moving back for an extra couple of picks makes a lot of sense.

There is also a lot of pressure associated with drafting first overall, and there would be less if the Lions moved back. NFL betting fans won’t get as mad if they screw up the 10th pick in the draft opposed to the first pick in the draft.

What do you think NFL betting fans?

Most people are watching the March Madness odds right now but I’m curious to know – where do you watch the NFL Draft?

Sportsbook odds for this event I’m sure would favor home, but here are some other options:

1. At home

2. With a friend

3. Sports bar

4. On your lap top

Not many NFL betting fans will watch the draft at a bar because it’s just not the right feel. The sound is usually down and who goes to a bar at 11:30 AM on a Saturday? That could get messy.

NFL betting fans are rowdy, but this event is more tame. I’ll watch it at home with some friends.

If you’re still distracted by March Madness basketball odds, don’t worry – it’s almost done.

NFL betting fantas are wondering about the Oakland Raiders. Yes, they are a bad team right now but are they on the way up?

They won two games in a month for the first time in a while last December and they finished up on a high note. It’s unlikely that sportsbook odds will list them with more than 4.5 or 5 wins for their regular season win total, but they might be on the way up.

How good is JaMarcus Russell? Do NFL betting fans think he’s getting better? If so, then the Raiders might be on to something. Sportsbook betting fans know that they also have Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas, and potentially might get Michael Crabtree as well.

As whole, that might appear to have the look of a foundation. But in reality, Russell might be trash, McFadden has proven too much yet and Crabtree is a question mark.

Russell needs to arrive in better shape this year and perform, or he’ll be subject ot the criticism of many blogs, like Dirty Harry’s Backyard.

Even if you are busy with March Madness odds, take a look at these NFL betting odds for who will be the first pick overall in the 2009 NFL Draft:

Betonline.com sportsbook: WHO WILL BE THE 2009 NFL FIRST DRAFT PICK
MATTHEW STAFFORD -250
JASON SMITH +180
EUGENE MONROE +800
MICHAEL CRABTREE +800
OTHER +250

There is a good chance that Stafford is the first pick, but NFL betting fans should be aware that the latest rumor has the Lions negotiating with USC quarterback Mark Sanchez. There is also an outside shot that the Lions select standout linebacker Aaron Curry.

Other at +250 is excellent value because if the Lions don’t pick Stafford, they will take Sanchez, and you are getting him as a big underdog.

March Madness odds is the only thing anyone is talking about right now except for NFL betting fans. NFL betting sharps might be interested to know that both Anquan Boldin and Braylon Edwards are on the trade block, so I’m asking you: who do you prefer?

My answer is simple: Anquan Boldin. He doesn’t drop passes, is making less money (right now, anyways) and sportsbook odds reflect whether he plays or not. In the sportsbook, by the end of the season, Edwards had virtually no impact on the lines because he drops tons of passes and he became a sour puss.

At the end of the day, I think Edwards is more likely to get moved. Eric Mangini and Co. – the new regime in Cleveland – don’t care for him much. fans might see him in a place like Chicago next year.

March Madness basketball betting has been pretty crazy with all of the upsets but NFL betting fans would probably say that Jay Cutler heading to the New York Jets would be a crazy upset.

The rumors are starting to swirl and how interesting would it be if the Jets traded for Cutler?

All the consituents are there. The Jets front office is running out of time, so they won’t have a problem trading a couple future first-round picks. Meanwhile, NFL betting fans should remember that the Jets have already worked with Cutler’s agent, Bus Cook, who brokered a deal for Brett Favre last season.

The sportsbook odds still suggest that Cutler is going to stay with the Broncos, but the other favorites are supposedly the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I have a feeling Cutler ends up with the Jets, somehow. Maybe it’s the March Madness odds fever.

NFL betting fans should take note that Joe Flacco will have another weapon next season: L.J. Smith.

Interestingly enough, sportsbook odds didn’t lost odds on Baltimore as an option for Smith and a lot of NFL betting people are surprised to see it as well.

The Ravens do have a former Pro Bowler on their roster in Todd Heap but he has had three consecutive sub par seasons. Maybe part of the problem is that he hasn’t played with a good quarterback until last year, but the reality is that he’s just not the player we thought he would be.

Flacco will now have two decent tight ends to work with but it doesn’t necessarily mean he has one good one. Both tight ends are spotty.

NFL betting fans at least will have to pay more attention to the Ravens offense now.

NFL betting fans might not be sure what to make of Tim Tebow when he hits the Pros but a lot of sportsbook bettors are aware of his heart. Tebow, who led the Gators to a National Championship victory, wanted to lead the Gators to a perfect season. That didn’t happen. But after the loss to Ole Miss, Tebow had this to say:

“To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal, something Florida has never done here.”

“I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.”

“You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season.”

“God Bless.”

A lot of Gator nation and online betting fans noted, Tebow had a lot of heart in that speech and won over al ot of people. Props to Gaton Nation for retiring this memorable moment that a lot of sportsbook bettors will also remember.

I know you are focused on March Madness odds, but here’s some other numbers I was passed along.

WHICH CITY WILL BE AWARDED THE 2013 SUPER BOWL?

NEW ORLEANS – sportsbook odds: -200
MIAMI – sportsbook odds: +600
LOS ANGELES/PASSADENA – sportsbook odds: +600
ARIZONA – sportsbook odds: +1500
HOUSTON – sportsbook odds: +1000
TAMPA BAY – sportsbook odds: +2000
ATLANTA – sportsbook odds: +800
MINNESOTA – sportsbook odds: +2000
DETROIT – sportsbook odds: +2000

I think at this point, I would stick with the sportsbook favorite of New Orleans. Mostly because it is so hard to gage right now.
