Appalachian State to face Massachusetts in final

NCAA Football Betting Lines

12/10/2006 - Boone, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Armanti Edwards ran for 110 yards and three touchdowns and threw for another score to lead defending national champion Appalachian State to the NCAA Division I-AA title game with a 49-24 blowout of Youngstown State.

Edwards went 10-for-12 throwing with 164 yards while Kevin Richardson carried the ball 18 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers (13-1), who will play the Massachusetts Minutemen next Friday in Chattanooga, TN. Massachusetts advanced on Friday as Steve Baylark carried the ball 29 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Minutemen to a 19-17 victory over Montana.

Tom Zetts went 13-for-27 with 150 yards, a touchdown and an interception and Marcus Mason carried the ball 22 times for 121 yards and a touchdown for the Penguins (11-3), who were looking to make a seventh appearance in the national title game.

The Mountaineers built a 28-7 lead before Zetts made it a 14-point game when he hit Monquantae Gibson with a 16-yard touchdown reception with 1:02 left in the half.

However, Appalachian State scored on its first possession of the second half as a botched punt attempt gave the Mountaineers the ball at the Youngstown State 10-yard line and a play later Edwards punched the ball into the end zone for a 35-14 lead.

The Penguins got to a 35-17 deficit thanks to a 31-yard field goal by Brian Palmer, but the Mountaineers scored two straight touchdowns in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
