This Week in Betting, A to Z

A - Andy Murray. With the Australian Open just around the corner, the tennis season is slowly and quietly off to a start. It’s way too early to know how the year is going to turn out, but early indications are that Andy Murray, the talented but underachieving British star, is ready to unleash a big season. He beat Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on consecutive days to win an Aussie Open prep in Abu Dhabi this week.   Read more

A - Atlanta. I have to be a man and admit that I was wrong about the Falcons. I didn’t believe that Michael Turner was going to get the job done, that Matt Ryan was going to adjust easily to the pro game, or that the team stood a chance of making .500, never mind the playoffs. That’s an 0-fer for me. With a nice road win over the flailing Bucs on Sunday the Falcons clinched their spot, and they can now get ready to play a road game to start the playoffs.   Read more

A - Arena Football League. The AFL is taking a year off to get their business in order. The question is whether anyone will care, or even notice. The most telling indication of the state of the league was that the New Orleans VooDoo had decided to fold even though they had been near the top of the league in attendance the last two years and were owned by Tom Benson, owner of the Saints, so money wasn’t a problem.   Read more

A - Auburn. Tommy Tuberville is out as coach of the Tigers, but the circumstances, if the reports are to be believed, are odd. Even though his job was reportedly safe despite a lackluster 5-7 season, Tuberville stepped down this week. The administration says they were shocked, yet they decided to pay him his $5.1 million buyout even though they didn’t have to. Generous. Or stupid.     Read more

2008/09 Pac-Ten Basketball Predictions

Pac-10 Conference Basketball Predictions and Betting Preview 

It’s simply amazing to me how perfectly in sync the Pac-10 Conference is this year in terms of football and basketball.

Both football and hoops seemed to peak last season as national powers, and with a mass exodus of its top performers the league has degenerated into a free-for-all. Read more

by T.O. Whenham - 10/29/2008

We are halfway through the NFL season, give or take. This is a good time, then, for us to take a look at the teams that are being particularly kind to bettors, and those that are soaking the money bet on them in gas and lighting a match.

A - Alexander, Shaun. The incredible fall from grace has taken a potentially brief detour to the nation’s capital. The former MVP needed a job, the Redskins needed running depth, and Daniel Snyder is more than happy to spend money without thinking about it - it was a match made in heaven. Read more

4th Down & Inches - Docs Sports Handicapping

Fourth Down and Inches (October 15th, 2008)

by Doc - 10/15/2008

I wish I could have started this column out with some good news as far as last week’s selections are concerned. However, that is not the case. We did nail a nice 5-unit winner with Penn State, as they completely destroyed Wisconsin, 48-7. We also had a nice winner with Mississippi State ending Vanderbilt’s perfect season, but those two wins did not come close to covering the disappointing losses that we had. Read more

Option Teams Paying Off For Backers

by Robert Ferringo - 09/29/2008

The Option Offense in football is one of the most venerable and classic nuances of America’s New National Pastime. The Wishbone. The Wing T. The Single Wing. The very thought of The Option brings one back to Yesteryear, Better Days and Days of Yore. Those were simpler times - The Option reflects that - and a Golden Time when speakeasies, jazz, hard work and racism were at the fabric of American Society. Read more
