Bet On NHL Hockey: Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings begin their 2013-2014 season October 2 having gone through a ton of change this past offseason. Perhaps the biggest change came when the NHL realigned the divisions ahead of the upcoming season.
Month: September 2013
Bet On NHL Hockey: Penguins
The now-perennial favorites to win the Stanley Cup Pittsburgh Penguins enter this upcoming season in a familiar position – expected to challenge at year’s end with arguably the best lineup in the game.
Bet On NHL Hockey: Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks will set out to win their third Stanley Cup in five seasons this season and on paper, there doesn’t seem to be any reason that they shouldn’t be favored to win it all again. Top to bottom the Hawks are stacked – by far the most impressive lineup in the West.
Bet On NHL Hockey: Rangers
The New York Rangers like many teams this offseason went through a host of changes but for the Rangers, a change in philosophy on the ice was obviously needed. Often one of the bigger spenders in the NHL the Rangers have fallen short more often than not recently – former Coach John Tortarella took the fall – right or wrong.
Bet On NHL Hockey: Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers were THE biggest disappointment in the NHL last season and now look to rebound with a few new pieces and yet another different look between the pipes in 2013-2014. Injuries killed this team last year and threaten to derail the team already as we head into the season.

Rays vs Rangers Baseball Odds
Well, 162 games and things still are not figured out, as the Rangers host the Rays in the winner-take-all play in game for the last AL Wild Card spot. The Rangers slumped badly in the last month of the season, but recovered and made it to this game after winning their last 7 of the season.

Miami vs New Orleans NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Two undefeated teams square off in The Big Easy to determine who stays unbeaten and who takes their first loss of the season. The Dolphins have played well in all facets of the game while the Saints are the Saints…it’s always the Drew Brees show in Nola.
Arizona vs. Tampa Bay NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
The fans in Tampa Bay are hoping that things have hit rock bottom and that the Buccaneers can get their first victory of the season with a new quarterback at the helm this week. That is putting an awful lot on a rookie third rounder but they seemed to have no other choice with the way things were going.
