1. Derrick Rose – Chicago Bulls
If you haven’t seen Rose shatter Andre Miller’s kneecaps with a cross-over on YouTube, then you’re haven’t seen the highlight of the year in the NBA. The former Memphis point-guard is averaging 18.7 points per game with 5.8 assists. Imagining what he might be able to do with more talent is almost scary. And by “scary” I mean “totally freaking awesome”.
The defending Super Bowl champions have a chance to wrap up the NFC East crown on Sunday afternoon, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will have their chance to sink their teeth into all of the action when the Philadelphia Eagles (6-5-1, 7-5 ATS) invade the Meadowlands to do battle with the New York Giants (11-1, 10-2 ATS).
The Pittsburgh Panthers (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) coming off another nice upset of West Virginia last week, will lace ’em up with the Connecticut Huskies (7-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action between two Big East teams still looking for the best bowl game they can get to. Kickoff is set for Noon ET at Rentschler Field in Hartford, CT.
The New York Jets (8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS), the AFC East leaders, continue their playoff run on Sunday when they meet up with the San Francisco 49ers (4-8 SU, 5-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 4:05 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
The SEC Championship game is finally here. The winner of this game no doubt will garner a spot in the BCS Championship on January 8th. The Alabama Crimson Tide is currently 12 and 0 straight-up and ranked number one in the country. From a sports betting point-of-view, the Crimson Tide have been terrific going 9 and 3 against the BetUS online betting spread. They don’t have a lot of superstar names on their roster, but they play a great brand of offense and their defense is easily one of the best in the nation.
The St. Louis Rams are a mess. The Arizona Cardinals, up until the disaster against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving Night, were one of the best offensive teams in the NFL. I say offensive teams because the Cardinals’ defense has been exposed more than once this season. Arizona has the best wide receiver in the NFL playing for them, Larry Fitzgerald. There could be some debate from sports betting fans, but not from me. The guy has never dropped the ball. The Cardinals are still the class of the NFC West even though they were throttled by the Eagles in their last. Arizona is 7 and 5 straight-up and 7 and 5 against the BetUS Sportsbook online betting spread.
The New York Giants just keep rolling along. Nothing seems to faze the best team in the NFL. There isn’t another team that treats sports betting fans better than the New York Giants who are 11 and 1 straight-up and 10 and 2 against the BetUS online betting spread. The G-Men have one of the best offenses in the NFL. They have an extraordinary running game. Because of that the suspension of Plaxico Burress shouldn’t hurt this team at all. Eli Manning has plenty of other weapons to throw the football too. Forget Plaxico. His loss might actually make the Giants a better against the spread NFL betting team although I’m not sure that’s possible.
Someone’s three-game winning streak is going to come to an end NFL sports betting backers!
The Dallas Cowboys (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U) have won three straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, covering the spread for NFL sports betting backers each time out. The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U) have also won three consecutive games while covering the spread in two straight.
The Houston Texans (5-7 SU, 5-7 ATS, 9-3 O/U) have won two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook and have covered the spread in three straight games for NFL sports betting backers. The Green Bay Packers (5-7 SU, 7-5 ATS, 8-3-1 O/U) have dropped two straight games while failing to cover the spread in each outing.
The Cincinnati Bengals (1-10-1 SU, 4-8 ATS, 5-6-1 O/U) went from bad to worse in their last outing and have failed to cover the spread for NFL sports betting backers in each of their last two games. The Indianapolis Colts (8-4 SU, 5-6-1 ATS, 6-6 O/U) have won five straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, but have only covered the spread once in their last three games.
The National Football League begins its 14th week of football betting action on Thursday night, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will get their chance to sink their teeth into all of the fantastic action when the Oakland Raiders (3-9, 5-7 ATS) invade Qualcomm Stadium to do battle with the San Diego Chargers (4-8, 4-7-1 ATS).

Standard de Liege is eager to take the point that will see them through to the UEFA Cup R32 against Sampdoria on match day four. Standard tops Group C with six points, after beating FK Partizan on match day three last week. They need only one point from their remaining two fixtures to be certain of a place in the last 32 and if the soccer betting marketplace at BetUS Sportsbook were an indication, they are the better play for the win needed to accomplish the feat of passage.
