Pointing out the NFL's hypocrisy in staging a game in betting-crazed England while taking a hard line on Las Vegas

The latest line on Sunday's game between the Giants and the Dolphins has New York favored by 9 1/2 points, according to a major British bookmaking outfit called Betfred.

English gamblers routinely make bets on American football along with snooker tournaments and the latest misadventures of the royal family, so there's nothing inherently unusual about that.

There's nothing unusual, that is, until you consider Betfred has the sports bookmaking concession at London's Wembley Stadium -- the site of the Giants-Dolphins game, the first regular-season NFL game outside North America.
