All mobile activity figures to increase dramatically with the NFL playoffs starting this weekend as the most anticipated month of the year has finally arrived.

The great mobile sports betting question will ultimately come down to whether or not defense even matters anymore in the modern NFL as offenses are dominating, as evidenced by the top two seeds.

The number one seed in the American Conference, the New England Patriots, scored a whopping 513 points in their 16 games but allowed a staggering 342, hardly the stuff of Super Bowl champions from a generation ago.

Meanwhile the top seed in the National Conference, the Green Bay Packers, amassed an insane 560 points but allowed 359, a number that would have had Vince Lombardi screaming for blood.

A more traditional approach was taken by the Baltimore Ravens, who are the number two seed in the AFC. Baltimore scored 378 points and allowed a much more relatively respectable 266, which is downright stingy by today’s standards.

The San Francisco 49ers are quite similar to Baltimore in that they are the number two seed in the NFC with a more traditional approach as they scored 380 points and allowed just 229.

Ultimately this stark contrast in playing styles is what is going to make the playoffs so interesting and also revealing.

Speaking of weak defensive teams, break out the NFC East champion New York Giants, who allowed more points than they scored with a 394-400 ratio and yet still made it because of the bumbling Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.

Yet another trio of NFC teams are in with questionable defenses as the New Orleans Saints allowed 339, the Atlanta Falcons allowed 350, and the Detroit Lions allowed 387. There was more “sanity” in the AFC as Pittsburgh allowed 227 and Houston allowed 278. However Cincinnati allowed 323 and Denver allowed 390.

Last year the Packers proved you can literally “wing it” to the Super Bowl championship as they were the last seed in the NFC but were led by their prolific offensive attack all the way past Pittsburgh on Super Sunday.

The evolution of the modern NFL offense has completely changed the traditional dynamics of what to expect and who to favor in games as the sport is becoming basketball on turf. With that in mind the NFL Playoffs could very well turn out to be the most exciting and unpredictable of all time.

The par-72 course at the Seshan International Club in Shanghai is hosting an enthralling competition featuring the world’s top golfers. While there have been many surprises in the tournament’s first leg, one can now expect the competitive tides to move in any direction. Some of the highlights include Keegan Bradley’s performance outshining many of the world’s top players, Bo Van Pelt’s consistent drive and Fredrik Jacobson’s competitive determination shown on the course. The standings include players from many countries including the United States, Sweden, South Africa, Britain, South Korea Venezuela, Germany and Italy. The first round was witness to some of the best swings, a multitude of birdies and eagles from the phenomenal players.
With a score of 65, Keegan Bradley is presently leading the tournament after the end of the first round. Players just behind him are on 67. There are three players tied on that score, and they include Von Pelt of the US, Jacobson and Alexander Noren of Sweden. While the competition is brewing up slowly for speculating fans, one expects the players from Britain, South Korea and Australia to catch up in the next few rounds. However, with Bradley’s confidence boost in the first round, it can get difficult for other players, especially if he holds on to his determination and improved swings. British players have remained out of the top 5 spots, but with Justin Rose now on 68, the competition seems well balanced.
South African players are doing moderately well, but it is too early to say if they will slide up or down the scorecard. Rory Sabbatini is on 69, while his national partners Schwartzell and Kruger have managed to stay in the competition with a present score of 70. One would be excited about how things shape up in the second round. With a large number of US players on the first-round scorecard, there seems to be a high level of contentment for the national side. However, with the Shanghai tournament being an individually rewarded set of rounds, the players will be striving hard to compete with players like Bradley and Von Pelt.
