Is there a bad beat tougher to swallow than the dreaded overtime cover?
Your underdog has kept pace and even led for the parts of the game. But a couple of bad breaks seem to rattle your squad.
The favorite grabs the momentum and forces overtime with a late run.
Handicappers have to wear many hats to do a good job: athlete, statistician, doctor, lawyer, critic. These days, a background in labor relations would be handy. Our top online experts from Bodog sportsbook weigh in with their opinions and cappers insight for two big matchups happening during Week 15 of the NFL season.
If you’re an NFL player, you can’t just wolf down whatever you like this holiday season. That cranberry sauce might cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The league suspended six players on Tuesday for violating the league’s steroid policy – three of them from the New Orleans Saints, including running back Deuce McAllister. The accused claim their positive test for Bumetanide (a diuretic that can be used as a masking agent) came from a weight-loss pill called StarCaps that did not list that ingredient on the label. Tough noogies, says the NFL. All six are out for the remainder of the regular season.
Week 13 opens with a special trifecta of Turkey Day games on Thursday, starting with what will surely be a barnburner between Tennessee and Detroit (+11, 44.5). Take the opportunity to sit down at the table and eat while that gongshow transpires at Ford Field.
Nascar released its 2009 schedule. The full schedule includes the 2009 Sprint Cup Series, and Nationwide Racing Series Schedule: There were some date changes in all three series, as well as a race in both the Nationwide Series and the Craftsman Truck Series being moved to new tracks.

You know it’s crunch time in the NFL when they start cranking out the Thursday night games. Last week’s Broncos-Browns tilt in Cleveland was definitely worth watching, even on the NFL Network. They have the honors again in the first of this week’s three top betting matchups (for current lines, visit Bodoglife.com).
Wholesale quarterback changes are on the docket for Week 10 of the NFL season. Rex Grossman is definitely in; Byron Leftwich and Daunte Culpepper might be joining him. But the most bizarre situation is in Cleveland, where it’s as plain as day that coach Romeo Crennel is not calling the shots. The Browns will start Brady Quinn on Thursday, and that’s where we start our preview of the week’s three most important matchups (for current lines, visit Bodoglife.com).
Here is a 25 year look at the decline of the home field advantage in the NFL, and a look at several reasons, that could be contributing factors.
If you go back in the NFL with the inception of Monday Night Football, the rage with the novelty was the home underdog, which seemed to present blind value each time an opportunity presented itself. It has long been established that the homefield advantage was worth 3 points to the home team. How do those numbers work out today, and what is leading to the change?
Well, that was a long time coming. The San Diego Chargers (3-5 SU, 3-4-1 ATS) finally gave defensive co-ordinator Ted Cottrell his walking papers on Tuesday. Inside linebackers coach Ron Rivera is his replacement.
There’s no place like home for the holidays – even for Columbus Day. Home teams were 11-3 SU and 8-6 ATS last week in the NFL; home dogs won three of five games outright, led by the St. Louis Rams (+9) beating the Dallas Cowboys 34-14 and causing panic throughout the great state of Texas.
Football preview for week 7 NFL action – all NFL games are viewed and previewed:
San Diego Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills
The Chargers looked OK on Sunday night, but it was a closer game than the final score showed. The San Diego secondary is still suspect and not playing up to its talent level. The Bills on the other hand have been playing solid football and are at home. They will sneak out a victory in a close one.

Football preview for week 6 NFL action – all NFL games are viewed and previewed:
Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta has the second best rushing offense in the league so far and Michael Turner has looked almost unstoppable at home. Brian Urlacher doesn’t care. Chicago will shut down the run and force “Matty Ice” to go downfield.
