Giants vs. Cowboys Trends + Week 2 Pick

NFL Week 2 Game of the Week – NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys

The New York Giants (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U) and the Dallas Cowboys (1-0, SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U) will hook up in an early-season NFC East matchup that will almost assuredly be a typical knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish between the longtime division rivals when they meet at Cowboys Stadium at 8 PM ET on Sunday night.

The Giants got their 2009 regular season off to a solid start by beating the Washington Redskins 23-17, but either failed to cover the spread or saw the game play out as a Push as either, 6.5 or 6-point home favorites, depending on which line NFL bettors received. The game’s 40 total points played Over the 37-point O/U total.

Detroit Lions 2009 Gambling Preview

Things can only get better…they hope!

At least there is one thing that can be guaranteed this season in the NFL – the Detroit Lions cannot possibly be any worse than they were in 2008!

The sad, hopeless, helpless Lions (change of nickname required perhaps?) made history last season with the first 0-16 regular season record, and although they did come close to winning a couple of games there is no ‘N’ for ‘N’early a win in the NFL standings at the moment.

NBA Championship – Orlando + LA Betting Trends

The NBA brass wanted the dream matchup Kobe vs. Lebron but Orlando would have no part of it upsetting Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Championship. The Lakers will have the home court advantage but Orlando has overcome the advantage in the last two series.

Gambling On Arizona? Handicapping Preview

Steve Merril’s NCAA Preview: Arizona Wildcats

Controversial bid

When the 34 at-large teams were announced for the NCAA tournament, the most controversial bid went to Arizona which extended Wildcat’s NCAA-leading streak of tournament appearances to 25 in a row. Arizona was just 19-13 straight-up and many felt that a non-BCS team such as San Diego State, St. Mary’s-CA, or Creighton should have been dancing.
