NFL Week 7: Eagles Try to Prevent another Embarrassing Loss
Game-day: 10/26/2009
Kick-off: 8:30 pm EST
The Philadelphia Eagles were thoroughly embarrassed last Sunday when they lost to the hapless Oakland Raiders straight-up, 13 to 9, as 14 point favorites on the road in the NFL sportsbook.
Does any sports do “rivalry” games better than college football…the Red Sox and Yankees might have a say, and Duke-North Carolina in college hoops…but there is something magical about these big rivalry games in the fall that, to me, anyway, supersede the others.
A prime example is on display this weekend at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, when the 2009 edition of the Red River Rivalry kicks off.

Mark Sanchez was kicked in the mouth this past Sunday when he and the rest of the New York Jets ran into a defensive buzz saw down in the N’Awlins. It wasn’t Drew Brees, Marques Colston and Reggie Bush who lit up the Jets. It was the Saints defense that accounted for 14 points, a returned interception for a TD and a fumble recovery in the end Zone, and caused Sanchez to throw 3 interceptions and fumble the ball once.

Two of the bottom rung teams in the league, Cleveland and Buffalo, take each other on in a game that could go a long way in deciding the future of not only each team but of their respective coaches.

One thing was obvious about the Detroit Lions last week in their victory over the Washington Redskins. That was that the Lions are a better team than anyone really knows. When rookie QB Matthew Stafford is given time, he can be every bit as effective as the Lions’ thought he would be when they drafted him #1 last April. The Lions’ defense has much better players and much better communication than the team in 2008.

Sportsbook bettors probably feel like they were just wagering on Game 7 between Detroit and Pittsburgh last week but, believe it or not, that was over three months ago. The NHL is back and it’s time to break down the top five favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Who will disappoint? Who will surprise? Who will raise Lord Stanley’s mug?

The surprising San Francisco 49’ers and the Petersons, aka the Minnesota Vikings, will get it on this Sunday and everyone wants to know if this 49ers teams is for real.
Both teams are undefeated and both teams are 2 and 0 ATS. The 49’ers were brilliant against both the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. The Minnesota Vikings were terrific against the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook football odds for this game.
Cleveland Browns +3 -105 +150 O 37 ½ -110
Denver Broncos -3 -115 -170 U 37 ½ -110
The Denver Broncos are ranked highly in the BetUS NFL Power Rankings due to a lucky play towards the end of their Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Does Denver deserve a top ranking? No. Do I expect them to keep it?
Stanford and Purdue were both close, but no cigar for us, which means it’s an even week. Let’s see if we can keep it positive in the third week of action.
Record: 5-3 (+3.20)
Eastern Michigan Eagles @ Michigan Wolverines

The Redskins invade New York to take on the Giants in a game where the NFL betting no doubt will hot and heavy! The G-Men were one of the top teams in 2008 ATS, but without Plaxico Burress and with nobody stepping it up during the pre-season to take his spot, there is talk that quarterback Eli Manning is going to have a tough time getting the ball downfield.
There are just three late afternoon games in the NFL, however, all are important in that teams are looking to get off to a fast start. Of course, when you’re betting, the games that mean more are the ones you have wagering tickets on.
At the end of every season, fifty AP writers sit down and vote for the most valuable player in the NFL. They vote for which player they believe had the biggest impact on their team’s performance that year. In 2008 Peyton Manning ran away with the award with 32 first place votes as he battled back from injury and a slow start to lead his team to an improbable 12-4 record.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship hits the century mark on Saturday with UFC 100: Making History.
Looking for the UFC 100 Fight Card? (Click link)
betED.com has MMA Betting Odds for all the fights on the UFC 100 card, including two highly anticipated main event bouts at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas (10 pm ET, PPV).
A – Aroldis Chapman. Let the hype begin. Chapman is a Cuban left-hander with a 100+ mph fastball who just defected and is looking to join the majors. I’ve seen him called the left-handed Stephen Strasburg several times, and he is sure to incite a Matsuzaka-esque bidding war. There are some strange issues around this one, though – he is reported as being 21, yet when he was at the World Baseball Classic in the spring he was reportedly 26. Seems that the Fountain of Youth is in Havana.
