With the current labour agreement due to run out at the end of the season, and the players' union and the NFL owners failing to come to any kind of agreement over a new one, NFL fans need to start lapping up every touchdown, and even every punt, as they face the stark and unwanted reality that the NFL is looking likely to be headed for lockout.
Although those placing a super bowl bet note that the players are annoyed that they are being asked to take a pay cut whilst the franchises receive extra cash, and the franchises and owners are annoyed by the fact that the players have changed their tune as to how to gauge the fiscal state of the NFL, there appears to be little hope of the two sides coming to an agreement at the moment.
Super bowl betting pundits agree that the NFL is making great strides forward in its efforts to promote football abroad (with its games held in the UK selling out very quickly and NFL.com continuing to grow in popularity) but the fact remains that the NFL is continuing to suffer at home from the current economic situation, which is leaving fans unable to spend the level of cash that they have done in the past, and corporations not as keen to spend the big bucks on buying the plushest executive boxes to impress clients with.
However, with the players seemingly unable to accept that they are going to need to take a pay cut for the time being, NFL fans are likely to be the ones who really lose out as they will be denied the opportunity to cheer on their team because of the greed of others.
