NFL Betting – Week 4 Roundup

The theme of Week 4: horrifically blown leads. Hope you didn’t change the channel or go work in the garden, as you would’ve missed some dandy second halves (and faced the embarrassment of telling your friends you were working in the garden).

Denver vs. Green Bay Free Week 4 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers Gambling Preview

The Denver Broncos are 1-2 but all of their games have been close, decided by three points or less.  Last week they were winning late but Matt Hasselbeck was able to engineer a Titans TD drive in the closing minutes for Tennessee to steal the game.

Minnesota vs. Kansas City Free Week 4 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Minnesota Vikings vs K.C. Chiefs Gambling Preview

Minnesota is the most surprising of the group of teams that is currently 0-3.  Not because they are any good but because in all three of their games they held double digit leads only to give them up over the course of the second half and lose – most recently to Detroit in overtime.

Defenses finally struck back in Week 3, as some fast-starting offenses finally hit the skids a little bit. The big story, though: the Lions and Bills doing the unthinkable and remaining undefeated.

NFL Week 2 Roundup

The offensive madness continued in Week 2. Once again, Tom Brady and Cam Newton were the stars, as they each set new records for the most passing yards ever in the first two weeks of a season.

ULM vs. TCU Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Lousiana-Monroe Warhawks vs TCU Horned Frogs Gambling Preview

After two games the Wahawks sit at 1-1 but it is hard to gauge this club right now.  They were shutout by Florida State in their opener and followed that up with a 35-7 pasting of Grambling State.

The Iowa Hawkeyes look to bounce back from a disappointing triple overtime loss to Iowa State. It was a game that the Hawkeyes were expected to win, but in the end their defense let them down.

Boise State vs. Toledo Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Boise State Broncos vs Toledo Rockets Gambling Preview

Boise State had little trouble with Georgia in the opener but I am not sure if they were helped in their pursuit of a BCS title game bid by the Bulldogs close loss to South Carolina last week.

Well, that was exciting. The message in Week 1 of the NFL was loud and clear; the lockout hurt defensive players more than offensive players. Were they out of shape or something?

Detroit vs Tampa Bay Free Week 1 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Detroit Lions vs Tampa Bay Bucs Gambling Preview

There certainly hasn’t been this much buzz about the Detroit Lions in a while.  This team was a big winner at the book last season even though they finished 6-10.  Now many believe they can finish at .500 or better and challenge for a Wild Card out of the NFC North.

UTEP vs. SMU Free Week 2 Preview & Pick (Sept. 10)

Bet On College Football – U. Of Texas El Paso Miners vs Southern Methodist Mustangs Gambling Preview

The only positive thing you can say about UTEP’s performance against Stony Brook is that they didn’t give up.  The Miners were down 24-10 in the third quarter but managed to force overtime and eventually win it.

Gerald J. Ford Stadium – Dallas, Texas
Saturday September 10 – 7:00PM

UTEP

They were lucky to even still have a chance to win it given that they rushed for a paltry 36 yards and turned the ball over 4 times…Although maybe it should not have been a surprise.

The Miners struggles on offense were a result of the fact that they are breaking in an almost entirely new offense, even still their performance against Stony Brook was pitiful.  The only saving grace was they may have found their QB for the next couple of seasons in JC transfer Nick Lamaison.  Hopefully he and the rest of the team might be a little sharper for their first conference test against SMU.

The Miners have had success against SMU – 6-2 since 2003 – including a win as a +6 dog at home last year.  This year, as you can tell by the spread, these teams are much further apart.  The only advantage for the Miners might be that the Mustangs had their hat handed to them by Texas A&M last week in a game that they were trying to prove the program was inching up the status board.  SMU might have trouble getting off the mat.

SMU

I have to admit that I was one of those that thought SMU was ready to take another step this season…but after watching them melt against Texas A&M they appear that they might just be Conference USA good, as opposed to just good.  [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Perhaps the Aggies were geeked up about heading to the SEC but regardless the Mustangs got nothing done after closing the gap to 20-14, eventually losing 46-14.  As much as anything they seemed to lose their confidence.

The Mustang offense is supposed to be formidable but it was pretty meek against Texas A&M.  This was supposed to be the year Kyle Padron put it all together but after throwing interceptions on the first two possessions coach June Jones pulled him out of there for backup J.J. McDermott, who breathed a little life into the attack, but it was short-lived.

The question is who gets the nod against UTEP because they may make him look good.

The defense wasn’t expected to be overly stout but with 8 starters returning a better effort was.  They were gashed on the ground by A&M’s lethal RB duo and sliced and diced through the air by QB Ryan Tannehill, who looks like a Heisman candidate after that outing.  

UTEP is the perfect opponent to get healthy on both sides of the ball so the Mustangs may not be as good as they appear to be after Saturday.

Trends:

UTEP are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
UTEP are 8-21 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Over is 13-6 in UTEP last 19 road games.
SMU are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
SMU are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.

ATS Pick:  SMU -20
Over/Under Pick:  Over 53
Score Prediction:  SMU 45 – UTEP 21

TCU vs Air Force Free Week 2 Preview & Pick (Sept. 10)

Bet On College Football – Texas Christian Horned Frogs vs Air Force Falcons Gambling Preview

It was a shame that TCU lost their opener at Baylor – it was a hell of a game.  Their defense was a mess throughout the contest but with Casey Pachall at the controls they showed amazing determination to get back in the game before losing it late.
