It has been a long-time rule that tied NFL playoff games end in overtime with the first score. After Saturday, that rule has got a lotta folks all upset like.
San Diego took the ball after regulation and then proceeded to march down the field and score on their first possession of overtime allowing the Chargers to move on. The Colts were sent home without the league’s MVP having the opportunity to touch the football.

Hard to believe that we’ve already burned through another year of college football. But it isn’t quite over yet. The last two games include the GMAC Bowl, which didn’t quite make our list of the Top 5 betting games of the week, and the BCS Championship Game, which most certainly did. Let’s get right to it – all times listed are Eastern, and as usual, the freshest betting odds are available at Bodog Sportsbook.
On the morning of September 15th, 2008, the news from Wall Street was disastrous. Later dubbed as another “Black Monday” by the media, John McCain insisted in a speech that same morning that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.”

Okay, college football fans. Recess is over; time to get back to work. The 2008-09 bowl season starts this Saturday with four games, and while this foursome may feature some of the lightweights on the bowl scene (will there be a second St. Petersburg Bowl?), we’ve got at least two games that promise to be both entertaining and potentially lucrative. The first bowl down the runway kicks off this week’s Top 5 list (all times Eastern; for current lines, visit Bodog’s online sportsbook).
Black Friday (and its online counterpart, Cyber Monday) signaled the start of yet another holiday shopping season. The handicapping world is also in overdrive this month.

Is it possible that sports betting fans are already in Week Fifteen in college football?
Such is life as a college football betting fan.

Scratch one more sport off the betting list. Jimmie Johnson has won NASCAR’s top prize for the third year in a row, taking the Sprint Cup in somewhat anticlimactic fashion by finishing 15th at Sunday’s Ford 400. Johnson only needed to place 36th or better to clinch the title. Cale Yarborough (1976-77-78) is the only other driver to pull off the three-peat.
The most famous person in the world right now is the new American President, Barack Obama, but just a few days before Election Day, it was another young man of mixed ethnicity, Tiger Woods.
A co-inky-dink you think? Not really as it was athletes like Tiger who helped pave the way for America to get over itself and elect a visible minority to the White House.
A post-election lull has swept over the United States. All those man-hours spent fixated on polls and pundits have to be diverted elsewhere. Excellent timing, because college basketball is here. Preseason tournaments are underway; there are a lot of cupcakes on the menu, but this is when sharp handicappers swoop in and get fat.
The 2008 baseball season ended in October after all. We hope yours was a profitable one – a special shout-out to all those Phillies supporters out there who filled their bankrolls with a 13-3 run to end the regular season and an 11-3 record in the playoffs. It’s all about finishing strong, as fans of the New York Mets (7-10 down the stretch) can attest.
Two teams in the hunt for the Big XII North crown will clash in Lawrence, and BetUS Sportsbook will have all of the action for this sports betting affair when the Kansas State Wildcats (4-4, 3-4 ATS) face off against the Kansas Jayhawks (5-3, 4-3 ATS) in the 106th installment of the “Sunflower Showdown.” Last season, the Jayhawks bested the Wildcats 30-24, picking up an easy ATS victory as 3.5-point road underdogs. Wildcats bettors have had the most to celebrate of late though, going 11-2 ATS in their L/13 battles with their in-state rivals.
