The New Orleans Saints (6-5 SU, 7-4 ATS), after a stunning Monday night performance, will try to inch closer to the lead in the NFC South when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) in a key division matchup in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 1 PM ET at Raymond James Stadium (natural turf) in Tampa.
Alright BetUS Sportsbook bettors, another weekend is upon us and that means another entertaining weekend of NBA basketball wagering for NBA sports betting buffs.
As usual, my NBA weekend wagering doubleheader is designed to give BetUS NBA sports bettors the maximum opportunity to make a winning wager on two NBA contests.
The NFC North lead is up for grabs on Sunday when the Chicago Bears face the Minnesota Vikings on the national stage.
Minnesota is a 3 ½-point favorite, and despite what’s at stake for both teams, you could say that this contest is bigger for the Vikings, as the Bears won the first meeting between the teams and have the better divisional record.
NFL: Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets
Nov 30, 2008
If room on the Jets’ bandwagon was still available after the win at New England, the bus has to be full after sending Tennessee to a first loss. New York is heating up at an ideal time as this week’s game against Denver will wrap up what was the most important three-game stretch of 2008.
NFL: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders
Nov 30, 2008
In the span of the last 20 weeks of NFL regular season action, the Chiefs and Raiders have won just six games combined.
As crazy as it sounds, Oakland owns five of those victories, the latest coming in a huge upset last week in Denver.
NFL: Atlanta Falcons vs. San Diego Chargers
Nov 30, 2008
Atlanta and San Diego are in positions where they can’t afford to lose too many more games if they are to keep their playoff hopes in place.
Of course, after last week’s win over Carolina, Atlanta’s room for error is much greater while nothing shy of a win over the Falcons will do for San Diego.
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots
Nov 30, 2008
Pittsburgh visited New England in a high profile game a year ago and in the face of guarantees by Steelers’ players, the Patriots prevailed 34-13.
The extra motivation helped propel New England to its only ATS win in its final nine games of the ’07 season and the stakes are again high for this Week 13 matchup.
NFL: Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers
Nov 30, 2008
Green Bay and Carolina have their sights set on divisional titles, but both figure to be in a dogfight the rest of the way.
The Panthers’ loss last Sunday dropped their record to 8-3 on the season and all of their remaining games are against current playoff contenders.
NFL: New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins
Nov 30, 2008
The weekly chain of huge NFC East showdowns continues with the 10-1 Giants visiting 7-4 Washington.
New York got a step closer to home field advantage in the NFC with its win at Arizona last weekend and maintains a three-game lead in the division standings. Giants’ coach Tom Coughlin’s team is a perfect 3-0 straight up and against the spread (ATS) against East foes in ’08, and 4-1 straight up and ATS on the road as well.
NFL: New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Nov 30, 2008
New Orleans and Tampa Bay met in Week 1 with the Saints winning 24-20 at home. That game was all the Bucs needed to jumpstart the season, as they’ve gone 8-2 straight up and 7-3 ATS since
This past Sunday, Tampa was able to shake off a 17-0 deficit in Detroit to win 38-20.
Will desperation lead the Redskins to a much-needed victory and a payday on Sunday?
With 93% of the action on the Giants as 3 ½-point favorites, Sportsbook.com members obviously don’t think it will.
Desperate to keep pace with the Dallas Cowboys and other NFC Wild Card contenders, the Redskins are desperate for a victory over the rival New York Giants at home on Sunday.
If you’re riding the hot hand, you’ve had some big weeks of late.
In his Double Take picks, our own Sportsbook.com writer Mike is an impressive 9-3 against the spread over the last three weeks. That’s improved his season record to a very impressive 27-18-3. Cras has struggled in recent weeks but is still a profitable 24-21-3.
NCAA-F: Auburn vs. Alabama
Nov 29, 2008

NCAA-F: Notre Dame vs. USC

War II.
NCAA-F: South Carolina vs. Clemson
Nov 29, 2008
The Battle of the Palmetto State is the longest uninterrupted rivalry in the South, having been played every year since 1909.
NCAA-F: Georgia Tech vs. Georgia
Nov 29, 2008
The nickname of this Southern conflict is Good, Old-Fashion Hate and Georgia Tech is building a basketful of pent-up emotions having lost seven straight to Georgia.
