Redskins Hire New GM Sportsbook Betting. betting on the Washington Redskins may have taken an upturn on Thursday as the team hired Bruce Allen to be their new general manager. Allen was hired after Vinny Cerrato resigned. Sportsbooks won’t change the odds on the Redskins but the perception of the team should start to change with the hiring of Allen.
Sportsbook betting has seen Washington be more competitive in recent weeks and they are just a three-point underdog on Monday as they host the New York Giants. The hiring of Allen could make Washington a lot better in the future in sportsbook betting. Allen is the first position to officially hold the title of general manager under owner Daniel Snyder.
Washington has continually struggled in sportsbook betting and Cerrato was part of the problem. He was the executive vice president of football operations and made a lot of bad decisions. Allen is just the first move for the Redskins as sportsbook betting indicates. The next one will be hiring a new coach to replace Jim Zorn.
Allen was the general manager for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for five years as sportsbook betting indicated. He was fired along with coach Jon Gruden in January and since that time the Bucs have been the worst team in the NFL as sportsbooks stats show. “Bruce Allen is the personification of an NFL winner,” Snyder said, “Our fans know his heritage; we know his abilities. He is the right person to lead our club.” Gruden had great things to say about Allen. “Bruce Allen is a great football mind and an even better person. His background and understanding of the Washington Redskins’ tradition will be a huge asset to the Redskins.” Gruden said.
Sportsbook betting indicates that Tampa Bay won two division titles under Allen. “This is an extraordinary opportunity with one of the world’s most successful sports franchises,” Allen said. “I love everything about this assignment; I know what it means to be dedicated to the Redskins. I can’t wait to get to work.” He has a lot of work to do to improve the Redskins in sportsbook betting. Cerrato simply didn’t understand NFL talent. Sportsbook betting had the Redskins winning only one playoff game since 2000.
Washington is 4-9 straight up and 6-6-1 against the sportsbook betting line at sportsbooks this season. The Redskins are 2-4 vs. the odds at sportsbooks this season. Allen will need to improve the offense that is just 22nd in total yards this sportsbook betting season.
