NFL betting oddsmakers are keeping a close eye on some crucial holdouts that could considerably change the NFL betting landscape for the 2010 year. Football betting contenders such as the Jets, Chargers, Patriots, and 49ers are facing the probabilities of altering their lineups for the start of the NFL betting contest.



The New York Jets are 1 of the favorites to win the AFC championship in 2010 and had the top defense in pro NFL a year ago. A major reason why is cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Revis is recognized as the top defensive back in the game and he is holding out to be paid as such. It will be a significant blow to the Jets and their drive for the Super Bowl if Revis did what he is threatening, which is to sit out the whole year to get what he wants long term. He decided to renegotiate his deal with the squad since both sides had agreed that he outperformed his deal following the 2009 year. Until he receives a new deal, he’s currently refusing to return to training camp. It is to be seen if the deal reached will be worth the trouble he’s going to since it is costing him a fortune in fines and he’s also waiving any future guarantees in his current deal, and additionally the 2010 year is not going to count as an accrued year for him.

The San Diego Chargers were facing a important holdout by linebacker Shawne Merriman plus they are yet another top preseason favorite with the NFL odds to win the AFC.

Merriman and the Chargers ultimately came to a contract right before the preseason opener vs the Chicago Bears which San Diego won 25-10. Merriman was a first round draft pick in 2005 and was being replaced by Larry English.

The Chargers were also having to handle the holdouts of wide receiver Vincent Jackson and offensive tackle Marcus McNeill.

Jackson is 1 of the top receivers in the NFL and had 68 catches for 1167 yards and 9 touchdowns a year ago. Jackson has a complicated situation in that he is suspended for the first 3 games of 2010 due to a substance abuse problem. He could sit out til week 10 so he can earn another year of service to free agency.

McNeill is also claimed to be thinking about the week 10 strategy for his holdout. The Chargers have no reputable backup for McNeill, which gives him some leverage before the beginning match with the NFL lines.

Logan Mankins, offensive guard, is holding out on the New England Patriots. He could wait until week 10 to report also though he was offered $7 million per year. At the end of the 2009 year, he became a restricted free agent and was tendered at the greatest achievable level, $3.26 million. The offer was lowered when Mankins did not sign. He did not attend the mandatory minicamp since he was not under contract.

Defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin of the San Francisco 49ers turned down a little over $7 million but could sign soon for certain money. The 49ers are a football betting favorite to win the NFC West Division this year.
