2013 British Open Preview/Picks & Gambling Lines

PGA Betting Predictions

The third major of the year is upon us and if the first two were any indication of what we are in for – I, like many simply can’t wait. Muirfield will host the world’s best for the 16th time – wind and rain were certainly a factor the last time the Open was played here in 2002.

Wisconsin Badgers 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Badgers

Bret Bielema did a great job with the Wisconsin Badgers football program. Wisconsin has won a lot of games the last few years. Bielema decided to head to the SEC and Arkansas in the offseason, which left the Badgers looking for a new coach. Gary Andersen from Utah State was the guy the Badgers hired, and I believe that was a very good hire.

2013-14 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – Huskies

The Washington Huskies are full of potential, but they can’t quite get over the hump. Steve Sarkisian and his squad have gone 7-6 the last three years, and while they’ll look to improve upon that mark, they’ll also have to prove people wrong who believe they’ve hit their ceiling.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Scarlet Knights

Rutgers is another former Big East member that is just passing through the American Athletic Conference this season. Former coach Greg Schiano built Rutgers into a respectable program but they never quite made it to the top of the mountain to win anything significant – though it was a nice story.

Memphis Tigers 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Tigers

Memphis is one of the few FBS schools driven by hoops, which is why they were happy to join the former Big East. Even though the league has dramatically transformed the football program is still pretty subpar making its chances of being even mediocre probably about the same as in their former league, Conference USA.

2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Bulls

Its definitely a new era for the South Florida Bulls. After a decent first season coach Skip Holtz was not able to elevate the program as expected and quarterback B.J. Daniels has graduated, having never lived up to the potential many had in mind for the athletic marvel – now both are gone.

Louisville Cardinals 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Cardinals

Everyone is expecting the Louisville Cardinals to exit Big East (I had to) on top. They were the best team a year ago and have the best quarterback, coach and roster top to bottom. Everything seems to pointing their way except for the fact that other programs may be highly motivated to beat them given the circumstances.
