Matt Fargo: Super Bowl Intangibles: The Rushing Game

Part 2 – Matt Fargo’s Superbowl Betting Tips

It’s pretty common knowledge in football that winning the rushing battle usually means winning the football game. That is the case throughout the regular season, the playoffs and ultimately, the Super Bowl. Obviously, picking which team is going to win the rushing battle is not the easiest of tasks since if it was, everyone would be likely winning money on sports’ most wagered-on game.

2009 BCS Handicapping Analysis

College Football: BCS – C = BS

You can go on the internet and find countless articles on how the BCS has ruined college football or how it is the greatest thing that college football has ever seen. Adding another one to mix might be worthless but I feel I need to add my two cents into discussion.

I am not a fan of the USC Trojans and I am certainly not a fan of Pete Carroll. I think I dislike USC because it is so good year in and year out, Carroll acts smug all the time and the fans suck.

Betting Preview: Chick-Fil-A Bowl Odds

Chick-Fil-A Bowl – Wednesday, December 31, 2008 7:30 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

Georgia Tech opened as a 3.5-point favorite at most shops with a scattering of a few at -4 as well as a couple at -2.5. Right away, there was a perfect middling opportunity for those who were able get those numbers. The number has now settled in between -4 to -4.5 and there has been very little movement over the last two weeks. We could see this number increase as we get closer to kickoff. There has been a lot of recent movement in the total however as the opening number of 49 and 50 stayed put for a while but has gone up to as much as 53 in some outlets over the last week.

Betting Preview: Humanitarian Bowl Odds

Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:30 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

This line has stayed pretty stable since Nevada opened as a one-point favorite. There has been some recent movement but that has been just a half-point in the Terrapins favor as they are getting 1.5-points in most places. However, doing some shopping will get you two points and there probably isn’t going to be much more movement in this one.

Betting Preview: Papa John’s Bowl Odds

Papajohns.com Bowl – Monday, December 29, 2008 3:00 PM ET

Bowl Preview By: Matt Fargo

The Betting Numbers

Rutgers opened as a touchdown favorite over the Wolfpack and that number is holding tight a week later. Shopping around could get you a 1/2-point in either direction but don’t expect much of a move until gameday. There has been a move on the total as it opened at 51 and has gradually gone up to 53 in the majority of shops with even a couple 54’s available. It would not be surprising to see this one go up even more based on recent results from these two teams.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick

NFL: RAVENS POSE CHALLENGE FOR COWBOYS

The Dallas Cowboys are very much alive in the NFC playoff picture, but they have a big challenge on their hands on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

Dallas is a four-point favorite at Sportsbook.com, but that hasn’t stopped over 70% of bettors from backing the hosts.

Amazingly, it will be the first time the Ravens have ever played in Dallas in a regular season game.

Toronto Raptors vs. Utah Jazz
Matt Fargo

Injuries are a big concern for the linesmakers here but that is all on the Utah side and that is the reason for the delayed line coming out. Toronto is coming off a rout in Denver and not on the right side. It was bad enough to get head coach Sam Mitchell fired despite winning the NBA Coach of the Year award just two seasons ago.
