First, some technical info: we all know that one of the most popular and profitable sports in the USA is football. The National Football League is one of the major professional American leagues. It includes thirty-two teams from all around the country. They're divided into The American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC), which are each further divided into four divisions: North, South, East and West.

The game itself, all the matches on TV and everything else associated to this wonderful sport is really loved by every American. How did it begin? How did the league evolve, turning into one of the most profitable businesses around in the USA, along with betting, such as NFL picks? Next, we'll take a quick survey of the American Football History and we'll learn about how it evolved, as well as a few advices concerning betting and free NFL picks.

The National Football League was founded in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, under the name of The American Professional Football Association, with the legendary Jim Thorpe as president. In 1922, it adopted its current name: The National Football League. In the '20s, NFL wasn't such a major league and by the mid-'30s all of the small-towns participating were replaced by big-city teams. As World War II ended, professional football gained more and more popularity and during the '50s it finally claimed its rightful place among the professional sports. By the mid '60s, it had surpassed baseball and it kept on growing ever since.

In modern day USA, football is the top spectator sport and it has evolved into many markets, including exhibition shows called American Bowl", held outside the USA and many more. But the most profitable football market is still betting. Football betting has become America's top leisure activity as more and more fiery supporters head out to betting posts to get their NFL picks every day. It's not always about the money, although many fans have totaled their winnings up to impressive sums, but most people like to bet for the adrenaline rush provided by the small chance that they could actually be on the right track and guess the score or who knows? Maybe even the uncertainty that they'll win. There are also contests where participants are offered the chance to win free NFL picks. One thing is for sure, games and betting make an explosive combination!

Out on the field as well as in front of the betting office, it's still competition that drives people to excite themselves. And we all know that competition is good for business. Think about it: it's most likely that you'll get a greater number of gamblers if you organize a free NFL picks contest, as many people have high hopes to win. But that's just a bonus. Even without this kind of events, the American Football Industry" is still worth billions of dollars.
