2012-13 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – ASU Sun Devils
Todd Graham didn’t make any friends during his 11 month stay at Pittsburgh. Graham bolted from Pittsburgh in the blink of an eye last December to take the job at Arizona State.
He believed it would be a better fit for him and his family.
2012-13 Football Previews – (SEC) – Tennessee Volunteers
Ah, the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols. The Sherbet and White. Rocky Top. What a wild ride UT has had over the past few seasons – and what an interesting case study the Vols make! A few years ago, head coach Phil Fulmer was an institution in Knoxville, owning a career 152-52 record as Tennessee coach.
2012-13 Football Previews – (SEC) – Ole Miss Rebels
In comes former Arkansas State head coach Hugh Freeze to try and fix the mess in Oxford, Mississippi.
Last year was Houston Nutt’s final chance holding the clipboard at Ole Miss, and once it was announced that Nutt wouldn’t be back, the Rebs got crushed in three consecutive games, including embarrassing losses to LSU (52-3) and – even more shamefully – to in-state rival Mississippi State, 31-3 in the Egg Bowl.
2012-13 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – Oregon Ducks
The Oregon Ducks have become a true national power in college football over the last three years. Chip Kelly had no previous head coaching experience, but he has proven to be an excellent hire for Oregon. Kelly has taken the program from a solid yearly winner to a team capable of playing for a title each year.
Philadelphia vs L.A. MLB Betting Preview
The Braves are riding a season-best 7-game winning streak and they have a hot pitcher on the mound, as they open a series facing the NL West leading Giants.

After carefully analyzing all the pitching matchups on Tuesday’s slate of games, we have uncovered a two-team parlay that promises to get your week off to a great start.
Blue Jays vs Yankees MLB Betting + Handicapping Picks
The New York Yankees have hit their stride over the past couple months. The Yankees have taken a firm hold of the lead in the AL East with their red hot run, and they now also have the best record in baseball.
White Sox vs Red Sox MLB Betting + Handicapping Picks
The Boston Red Sox spoiled Kevin Youkilis’ return to Fenway for the first time since being traded on Monday night, as they downed the Chicago White Sox–winners of seven straight in Boston–by the score of 5-1.
2012-13 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – Colorado Buffaloes
It’s hard to believe the Colorado Buffaloes won the NCAA Football Championship in 1990. This program is a proud program that has really fallen on hard times in the last few years. The Dan Hawkins experiment didn’t go as planned, and now Jon Embree has been left to pick up the pieces.
2012-13 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – OSU Beavers
A few years ago it seemed Mike Riley had the Oregon State football program moving in the right direction. The team was knocking off some highly ranked opponents and going to bowl games on an annual basis. The past couple years have been big disappointments. In 2011, the Beavers only managed three wins all season long.
2012-13 Football Previews – (SEC) – South Carolina Gamecocks
South Carolina was knocking on the door for a long time, with a good-but-unspectacular SEC East team under “the Ole Ball Coach” Steve Spurrier.
Last season saw the Gamecocks kick the door in, with an 11-win season that included victories over Florida, Georgia and Tennessee (for the second straight year, actually) and a drubbing of #21 Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
2012-13 Football Previews – (SEC) – Texas A+M Aggies
While it is a tragedy to college football fans that the storied Texas-Texas A&M rivalry has come to a close, there will be plenty of excitement around College Station in 2012 with A&M’s move to the SEC. The Aggies will play in the West division; they move to a conference and division that – with all due respect to Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State – is more ferocious than the Big 12.
2012-13 Football Previews – (SEC) – Mississippi St. Bulldogs
MSU head coach Dan Mullen has already been a miracle-worker, without even scraping near a BCS bowl; he has made the Bulldogs relevant in the suffocating SEC West division and has re-energized a fanbase that was sorely in need of it.
Philadelphia vs L.A. MLB Betting Preview
While the Phillies have won 2 straight they are only 3-7 in their last 10 games and they are 14 games out of first place in the NL East. If Philly does not start winning they may shelve the season and trade away some of their key players.
