We are about six weeks away from what I feel is the best time of the year when it comes to sports. Late-September to late-October gives us the opportunity to see baseball, football, basketball and hockey all being played at just about the same time!<\/p>\n
NFL football gears up with pre-season activity in early August and the college and pro ranks start in on their regular seasons in late August-early September. Baseball is headed into the home stretch at that point and as MLB is about to start the playoffs, the NHL begins skating. A few weeks after the World Series is decided, the NBA and college hoops are on the boards.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a massive time of year! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not just the fact that the four major sports in America are all up and running or about to be going, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s such promise at the beginning of any season and so much excitement at the end of the longest season in all of sports\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe MLB season of 162 games.<\/p>\n
Hockey and basketball play 82 each and the NFL plays 16 games.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always tough for me to decide upon what game, team, sport I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to focus in September and October.<\/p>\n
Lots of folks bet on football and basketball. But not enough pay attention to the NHL. The fact is if you know what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing and\/or utilize a handicapping service such as Maddux Sports, you can really cleanup on the NHL. Of course, Maddux also provides premium picks for the NFL, NBA, NCAA football and basketball and MLB.<\/p>\n
I feel that 2007 is especially exciting due to the changing balance of power in the NFL, the new talent and major trades in the NBA, the close and unpredictable races in MLB and the new parity in the NHL. And then there are the two major college sports of football and basketball, which bring a whole lot of surprises each week.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hoping I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to leave my house, shut off my TV or stop surfing the net from mid-September to late October. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bother asking me any questions, talking to me about anything important or asking me to do anything, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m watching sports. All of them. 24\/7. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see you in November.<\/p>\n
