For the second week in a row the over was the best play as eight games went over the total, five stayed under, and there was one push Washington @ Carolina at 37. For the most part the games stayed close to the total line either way as after five weeks the odds makers have fine tuned the numbers.
Week four heavily favored the home team as they went 12-2 outright and ATS. The N.Y. Giants were the only team to win and cover on the road, and the Bengals beat the Browns, but Cleveland covered the spread. Points were plentiful as well with nine games going over the total. So far, this was easily the most lopsided week of the year so the odds makers will need to adjust.
Here is a rundown of all this week’s games and the current lines as supplied by beted.com.
The points were flying around this week as even Cleveland scored 20. Nine games went over the total while five stayed under. It wasn’t all about offense as a number of points were scored on turnovers and special teams.

Week two saw offense take center stage as nine games went over and eight teams scored 30 or more points on their own. For the most part, the seven games that stayed under were well below their predicted totals especially the Patriots-Jets game which was a shocker.

NCAAB Final Four Betting Trends and Angles
The College Basketball Picks season has whittled itself down to the Final Four teams when Uconn takes on Michigan State and Villanova looks to upset North Carolina. Both of the #1 seeds come into this weekend of Final NCAAB Picks listed as the favorite. Historically the #1 seeds have been a profitable endeavor as they are 7-3 ATS the last 10 NCAAB Picks.
Tickets to the Final Four have been punched and two of the finalists come from, what some acknowlegde as the Power Conference of NCAAB Picks, the Big East. Between now and the actual games you’ll be able to read all sorts of articles about who is going to make a profitable NCAAB Pick. Handicapping the final games is all about matchups, motivation, injuries, and historical perspectives.
Plaxico Buress was not the only person to shoot himself in the leg this weekend, as Missouri shot themselves on national television with a surprising loss to Kansas as a 14+ point favorite, while Oklahoma scored 61 points on the 11th ranked team in the nation, jumped Texas in BCS ratings.
If there was any doubt that Texas Tech was a one hit wonder against Texas the week before, those doubts were silenced is a behind the woodshed beating of Oklahoma State on national TV Saturday Night as QB Harrell threw 6 Td passes and the Red Raiders rolled a very good Okie State team (as I predicted in this blog last week).
Another barn burner last week in the Big 12, where the Texas Tech Red Raiders showed their prowess against a weary but yet very good Texas team last week in a thriller in Lubbock. Quarterback Graham Harrell threw all over Texas and Mike Crabtree proved again to warrant Heisman consideration, as he is totally uncoverable for any team in the NCAA. He broke away from tight double coverage on the sideline route and scored a TD to win the game with 1 second left.
ANOTHER Sweep in my Big 12 Selections last week, 2-0 in my report and we unloaded on Oklahoma State +12 for my game of the week, who had a chance to win one down in Austin Texas last Saturday but fell 4 points short. There should be no disappointment in Stillwater this week, the Cowboys played punch for punch with Texas in front of the largest crowd ever in the state of Texas to see a College Football game!
The Dallas Cowboys are again considered the class of the NFC and possibly the entire NFL. This year’s team has already seen some bumps and bruises (like a loss to the Redskins) but it is still a very talented team. In my opinion, the Cowboys have more potential than any other team in the league. However, Jerry Jones has created a virtual three-ring circus with his players.
