The Arizona Cardinals oversaw a 38-8 win over Green Bay Packers in another demolition game in style and the quarterback was only amazed by their achievements. With the completion of the first round, the Cardinals are on 13-2 margin. Last week they clinched the NFC West title and have won nine times consecutively.

Nonetheless, Palmer claims that being in the playoffs in not a great achievement unlike winning it all up to the finals. With the playoffs draw yet to be revealed, each team should be worried about the potential threats that the Cardinals pose and come January, their true weight and power will be revealed.

Their strong and agitated mode of play they portrayed last Sunday against Green Bay Packers at the University of Phoenix Stadium shocked many as they didn’t expect the Green Bay Packers to lose in such a huge margin having in mind that this was the first loss for the latter. If the Cards take the motives and agitation to the playoffs, then definitely they will prosper and propel all the way to the finals.

The Cards who were without their veteran Pro Bowl defensive Tyrann Mathieu allowed just 178 yards and their head coach Bruce Arians claimed that this was not their best game yet. However he claimed that the team had their best play in the season at the defense.

Palmer has been instrument to the team’s performance with a record of 26-4 in his 30 games. He has combined efforts well with other players including John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd. The team has boosted the inform services of running back David Johnson who made an astonishing 127 yards run last Sunday.

Nonetheless, the team will have to make it through the playoffs without the services of star player Mathieu who will be out for the rest of the season after having torn his interior cruciate ligament against Philadelphia Eagles. Nonetheless, they still boost services of various midfield players who can be called upon to replace Mathieu and this may pose a direct threat to other teams in the playoffs. The Cards are the hottest team to watch in the NFL as we speak.

There a saying that says that every dog has its day. This means that no matter what happens a particular day, what belongs to an individual will always be his or hers.

Over a period of time, betting has made some players rich enough to transform their lives. More often than not, a simple bet may clinch one an outstanding win no matter the site one plays.

London already hosts three regular in-season NFL games annually and currently expecting a team to relocate there soon. The league may find the daily fantasy sports a cumbersome issue to deal with since it has been under increasing scrutiny with the root issue being sports betting. It is legal in the U.K but there are restrictions in the U.S. The daily fantasy sports such as Draftkings and Fan Duelare causing the problem since in most states they are considered to be games of skill and not gambling and have been left out in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The act exempts the daily fantasy sports from ban in the U.S due to excessive lobbying by the NF|L. the NFL has been against gambling for a long time fearing compromise of the real games as well as the league growing to full potential.

Draftkings is the advertising company for NFL at Wembley and it is considered a gambling company and requires a license under the U.K law. They therefore have to adhere to the warning that they are only allowed to advertise to the fans in the U.K. only the giant screens provided for replays can advertise it. It ensures that the U.S fans watching won’t see the logos and adverts belonging to Draftkings. This means that NFL will be able to create some space between the company and the daily fantasy sports as an industry. Despite this, other leagues such as the Major Leagues baseball have invested in the company openly together with its all time rival, Edinburgh-based Fan Duel. This commotion has proved to be a problem and hampers all the NFL plans to expand into London which they anticipate as the intended growth they see for their company and the industry in terms of the audience and the revenues. The fans that are based in the U.K can freely and openly bet on their favorite teams playing in the U.K but has to be done with a regulator who will enforce the laws the gambling license will hold. The industry has since been unregulated pending the increased scrutiny from the U.S.

Many will wish to see the NFL games being played abroad and especially London fans. Well, their dream may come true as in a short distance future, each NFL team will have a chance to participate in abroad match in a season.

The NFL claimed that it has been accorded the privilege of staging three NFL games in three years as from next year at the London’s Twickenham Stadium. This is the main English rugby union for men stadium. This marks an initial beginning with more matches expected to be staged in the stadium in coming years.

This comes barely two week after NFL claimed that it had acquired a deal that would see two matches being played in Wembley Stadium up to 2020. This is however expected to accrue another five years in the deal.

This means that about 31% of the NFL will be played abroad with a game played at the Twickenham in 2018. Jacksonville Jaguars who are owned by Shahid Khan who also owns Championship side Fulham will see their games being played in London up to 2020.

The aspect of expanding the NFL game is not done yet as next year the league will stage a game in Mexico City. Reports from a Spanish sports newspaper AS claim that 2017 and 2018 will see a NFL game being played in the City each season. Roger Goodell also claimed that there is a possibility that a game will be staged in Germany which was considered the first priority market for the league. Elsewhere, Brazil is believed to host the Pro Bowl in 2017.

Among Basketball, Hockey, Baseball and Football which are considered the top four games in the Americans, its only football which has the least exposure in the international level and this explains why the NFL is so aggressive in staging what it has in store at the international level.

The saturated aspect of NFL has showcased that a foreigner can’t be a diehard fan once in the Americans but the league will have to go an extra mile in forcing itself in the international market to win the loyalty of foreign based fans and staging matches abroad is seen as the best way to oversee this.

Calls from the New Mexico Council on Problem Gambling have requested for the closure of fantasy sports sites like FanDuel and DraftKings. The group claimed that there are online operational licenses that the two firms have to acquire for the group to end the protest. The executive director of the group Kandice Blanchard was the first to commend the eradication of fantasy sports in Nevada while group’s therapist Dr. John Rinaldi claimed that the two sites have to get a betting license since they resembles any other betting sport such as horse racing.

Rinaldi claimed that the outcome of a horse race depends heavily on the bettor’s research and knowledge on his horse. It also relies on the previous performance in past events. The two are fundamental in winning or losing. The same case applies to fantasy betting where skill is used and this brings no difference with horse racing. Hence, fantasy sports can be classified as any other form of betting.

He continued to claim that despite it being new in the market, fantasy sport like any other betting is also very addictive. Clients may not be attracted to it that much at this period but with time, the addictive outcome will be evident.

A number of States with New Mexico included have yet to classify fantasy sports as betting since there was a law which was passed by the Congress in 2006. This Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has provided a shadow to hide in to FanDuel and DraftKings as they argue the game is based on personal skills unlike kismet.

JD Oltman in Las Cruces told KFOX14 that fantasy sports can incorporate both luck and skills. One has to have analyzed information on a player intended to select as well as the historical background of the team they are playing against.

This was the exact point that was brought forward by Kyng Diego who said that a win is only guaranteed to the person who undertakes a thorough research on the players playing on a particular day.

Rinaldi has faith in the review of the matter by lawmakers who are to converge in winter. On the other hand, the New Mexico Problem Gambling will accord assistance to betting addicts.

The European Union has decided to sponsor the joint EU Athletes and regulated betting sector’s pioneering player betting integrity education programme with a total of €488,305 that would see the programme run for two more years from Jan 2016 to Dec 2017.

He was pleased to inform the audience that his firm will fund the programme for two more years with the aim of finding honesty in sports.

On the other hand, the Secretary General of EGBA, Maarten Haijer claimed that this programme educates young talented sportsmen and women on the risks associated with match fixing. He claimed that this is the main reason as to why they would fund the programme for two more years and may be a possibility of further funding at stake.
