NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT WEMBLEY TIPS
Great Britain has had problems with American patriots and buccaneers in the past, but they'll both be seeing plenty of support at Wembley today in the sold-out match that promises to be one of the finest ever played on European soil. New England are very heavy favourites with Tom Brady's side at 1.08 for the outright win. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a lengthy 8.0, but the thing to remember about live betting on American football is that the outright odds jump around a lot depending on what's happening at the moment. A lot can happen in a short period of time in this type of game and I find American football to be more predictable than its English or sub-continental brethren.I'm going to be backing Randy Moss as first TD scorer at 5.0, mostly because of Tampa Bay's holes in their secondary. The Patriots won by a country mile in their last outing and I could certainly see another blow-out here under the right circumstances. If they can put two in the end zone in the first half, I think Tampa Bay will fold pretty quickly. This means we have lots of opportunity in the margin of victory market. Should the Pats win by 43+ you'll be looking at a hefty 21.0 payout. I also like a margin between 25-30 at 6.0.Also, the Patriots 4th quarter handicap is only (-0.5) at 1.71 and I suggest you jump all over that one. There is a whole slew of special bets available on Ladbrokes for this fixture and I think that the players will be told to make this an all-action advertisement for the American product, I think we'll see two-point conversion attempts, 53 yard+ field goal attempts and everything in between. Here's a bet I'm jumping all over- Tom Brady to Throw a 50+ yard pass to Randy Moss at any time. That pays out at 3.25, which is massive. Tampa Bay have a weak secondary and I think the Patriots receives will be exploiting this from the first play. You can back Mike Wright to get at least one sack at 2.75. New England are 3.5 to score six touchdowns and I think that's a quality bet as well.
