The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™ (and why)...

With the return of the NFL, grifters and gamblers crawl out from their dark corner of the sports world and into the light. Searches reflect this heightened interest in wagering as the season kicks off.

So which queries are parlaying their way to the top of the chart? Well, this week's largest increase goes to "nfl picks," up 877%. Other gambling-related terms experiencing triple-digit increases include "nfl odds," "nfl predictions," and "nfl betting line."

We took the points and also found searches on "nfl point spreads," "nfl spreads," and "vegas nfl lines" had moved significantly over the past seven days. And we hope your action is at the counter in Vegas—'cause otherwise it's illegal. And we just know you'd never break the law.
