The weather’s been pretty nasty across much of the United States, but it’ll be warm and toasty for all four of this weekend’s NFL Divisional Round games. Three of them will take place indoors; the fourth is in San Diego, where the football odds are very much on the side of the home team.
There are no holidays when it comes to online football betting. The store is open 24/7, the NFL plays on Christmas Day, and at this time of year, the action is very sharp indeed. You have to be on your toes to keep up with all the changes going on in the NFL. We’ll get you pointed in the right direction with our Week 16 betting preview.
All those months of work on college football betting are about to pay off. Bowl season starts this weekend, and although the first few games are small in stature, the matchups themselves should be entertaining and the lines have some wiggle room.
Big chalk is back with a vengeance. After the favorites went 12-4 SU and 10-6 ATS last week, the NFL odds we have posted so far for Week 15 include just three games with a spread under seven points. That will likely change as the board fills up.
Did you get your holiday shopping taken care of? Good thing, because it’s already time to get back into the war room. College football betting is once again front and center, as the first bowl games of the postseason kick off this Saturday.
Handicappers across the nation are getting their college football betting fix by preparing for bowl season. But what about this weekend? Aside from the Army-Navy game, there’s a void where all those Saturday games used to be.
No sweat. College basketball is up and running, and we’ve got the list of all the games involving Top 25 teams – there will be no shortage of action with these guys.
It’s true: There’s no place like home for the holidays, and that includes the world of online football betting. Home teams went 10-6 SU and ATS during Week 13 of the NFL season, taking full advantage of banged-up, road-weary opponents. Home dogs were especially tasty at 5-5 SU and 7-3 ATS.
Even colder conditions are in store for the NFL this week, starting Thursday night in the Forest City.
This is the most important week so far in college football betting, even if we only have 17 games on the FBS schedule. The results will determine who gets to play in the BCS National Championship Game and the four major bowls, not to mention the other 29 games on the bowl schedule – some far more prestigious than others.
Imagine: 18-0 against 18-0 at the Super Bowl. How could it not be the biggest draw in NFL gambling history?
There’s no denying the greatness of the New Orleans Saints. They humbled the New England Patriots 38-17 on Monday night, cashing in as 1-point home favorites at the close and remaining undefeated at 11-0 (8-3 ATS). Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are also 11-0 SU (7-3-1 ATS) after going into Houston and beating the Texans 35-27 as 3-point faves.
It’s Turkey Time again. Time to take a close look at the NFL betting lines and see what the home teams have to offer. With each passing year, the game of football takes a harder toll on the human body, and it becomes that much more difficult to drag your bones into someone else’s stadium. We’ll lead this week’s betting preview with a look at the latest victims.
You’ve made it this far with your bankbook intact. Congratulations; it’s been a challenging year, even for the NFL betting experts. Now here comes your chance for a reward.
The last two months of the regular season are where many of us make our money. We’ve seen what most teams (players and coaches) are capable of. We have the data to back up our analysis. We know these things, but many bettors in the marketplace are just as square now as they were when the season started.
If we could give you one sound piece of basketball betting advice, it would be to pay close attention to the injury reports. This is more important in the NBA than in any of the other major team sports.
We’re talking 12-man rosters, with the starting five hogging most of the minutes. A team can only accomplish so much when one of those players goes down.
One of the greatest features of college football betting is the sheer number of teams in the FBS: a full set of 120, each with a chance of making you some money.
Betting on golf doesn’t get much simpler than this. Only 30 men are competing at the 2009 Tour Championship, and only one of those men is Tiger Woods.
The Tour Championship is the last stop on the FedExCup trail; the list of participants has been whittled down to the Top 30 players in the points standings, and the points have been reset going into Thursday’s opening round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Here is your new Top 5 list:
It’s September. Time to get back to work.
Football season is upon us. This is the undisputed No. 1 sport for handicappers, well ahead of basketball and baseball in popularity. College football has a special appeal for sharps because of the size of the marketplace – 120 teams will play in the Football Bowl Subdivision this year.
They’re not officially the main event because there’s no title on the line. But everyone knows the Anderson Silva-Forest Griffin match is the focal point of this Saturday’s UFC 101 event at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.
