Last week’s USC-Washington State matchup was one for the history books. The Trojans were 42.5-point away favorites, the highest spread USC has faced on the road since Pete Carroll took over the program. That was enough chalk to send bettors scurrying to Washington State’s side.

I apologize for the lame title. Actually – I don’t! Either way you cut the mustard, McCoy is emerging as the definitive favorite in our NCAA football futures. However, McCoy can’t rest on the laurels of his team’s efforts. Sam Bradford continues to put up huge numbers. If anyone has to be concerned, it’s Chase Daniel.
The Georgia Bulldogs travel to Baton Rouge to take on last year’s SEC Champion, the LSU Fighting Tigers. Georgia started this season ranked number one in the nation and then fell a couple places but were never out of the top three until a terrible loss at home to the Alabama Crimson Tide ended their chances at the BCS Championship. They have a long hill to climb to get back into the title game.
Two undefeateds in the Big 12 Conference get together in one of the nation’s marquee matchups on Saturday, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-0 SU, 6-0 ATS) tangle with the top-ranked Texas Longhorns (7-0 SU & ATS) in an NCAA football showdown that is scheduled to take place at 3:30 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (natural turf) in Austin, TX.
The New York Jets (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS, 2-4 O/U), laid a big-time stinker in losing to the Oakland Raiders 16-13 in overtime last week, BetUS Locker Room readers.
Still, their problems are nothing when compared to those of the atrocious Kansas City Chiefs (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS, 3-3 O/U), who have lost two straight games by a combined score of 78-10, including their pathetic 34-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The sad sack Detroit Lions (0-6 SU, 2-4 ATS) look like they are almost hopeless at this point. On Sunday they will try once again to post their first victory of the season when they take on the Washington Redskins (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL game that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at Ford Field (artificial turf) in Detroit.
After dropping their first four games of the 2008-09 season, the Houston Texans (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS, 6-0 O/U), enter their Week 8 matchup against the winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-7 SU, 2-5 ATS, 3-4 O/U), looking for their third consecutive victory.

While the rest of the BetUS online sportsbook world has been concentrating on the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, the NFL, and the MLB playoffs (for good reasons of course!), Jimmie Johnson has slowly dominated the Sprint Cup Chase.
Toronto Maple Leafs (1-2-3) vs. Boston Bruins (2-1-3)
Ron Wilson had one of the more perplexing coaching moves when the Leafs were toppled by the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout. Vesa Toskala, the Leaf’s starting net minder, was pulled in favor for Curtis Joseph, who promptly allowed two goals and earned the loss for the Blue Leafs. Will that ruin the already low morale in Toronto?
The Atlanta Falcons (4-2 SU & ATS) have been a pleasant surprise indeed for their fans. On Sunday they will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS0 in an NFL contest that is scheduled to kick off at 1 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field (natural turf) in Philadelphia.
Major conference college action begins tonight with SEC’s Auburn versus Big East’s West Virginia. We also have a preview of New Mexico at Air Force out of the MWC.
When the schedule came out this looked like a great non-conference tilt, but each team has had problems.
University of Georgia
There might actually be more interest in this race than the Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 25th.
Why? Because the brilliant Zenyatta, undefeated and seemingly invincible, will take to the track to quietly run her competition into the ground. Zenyatta is without doubt one of the best racehorses I have ever seen in my life. She’s simply phenomenal. There’s no doubt that she will be the shortest priced favorite out of every single horse running on both days.
