With the start of the 2008 NFL betting regular season approximately eight weeks away from getting underway in the BetUS Sportsbook, the BetUS NFL online sports wagering community is getting geared up for another exciting NFL wagering season quickly and the clever oddsmakers at BetUS are offering NFL online betting more opportunities to increase their respective seasonal bankrolls than ever.

This NFL Futures Odds in the BetUS Sportsbook offers NFL gambling another exciting means of increasing the NFL till by wagering on the player they think will become the 2008 Sporting News Rookie of the Year winner.

This article will separate the pretenders from the contenders in an effort to help BetUS NFL online football bettors everywhere.

Now, before someone tries an onsides kick or something, let’s get started.

To Win Sporting News Rookie of the Year

The Best Bets

Darren McFadden +400

McFadden will likely win this award as he will start for the Raiders and get plenty of carries.

Matt Ryan +550

If Ryan starts right away for Atlanta, it could happen. However, he could be running for his life most of the time as well.

Glenn Dorsey +500

Dorsey could shine immediately for the Chiefs and defensive-minded head coach Herm Edwards.

Chris Long +500

Long is a playmaker and he will play right away from the Rams.

Jake Long +750

The two-time team captain became the first Wolverine and only the fourth player ever to garner Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in consecutive seasons and will start right away fro the Dolphins. If Ricky Williams on Ronnie Brwon puts up big numbers, Long could be the surprise winner.

Vernon Gholston +800

If Gholston is as good as advertised, the Jets defensive end could rack up a double digit sack total.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie +1200

If the athletic Rodgers- Cromartie picks off five passes for the Cardinals, he’ll get plenty of consideration.

Jonathan Stewart +550

Stewart plays the right position at running back and is playing for a team, (Carolina) that should get him on the field early and often in 2008.

Jerrod Mayo +750

Mayo is playing linebacker for the most linebacker-oriented defensive unit in all of football. He could make a big impact under Bill Belichick.

Contenders

Rashard Mendenhall +600

Keith Rivers +800

Antonie Cason +1100

Worth a Shot

Derrick Harvey +1500

Sedrick Ellis +1500

Analysis: BetUS NFL online bettors likely already know that the skill positions generally tend to get a lot of notice, though the slew of talented defensive linemen entering the league these days, certainly plays a role in this voting process.

NFL bettors should look at rookies who will get the chance to contribute right away for their respective teams, particularly skill position players.

I like McFadden to make an immediate impact, much like Minnesota Vikings’ rookie runner Adrian Peterson did last season. McFadden is supremely talented and will run for a bunch of yards with just a sliver of daylight.

My Pick: Darren McFadden
