There are no surprises at the top of the food chain heading into the 2009 season, with the Gators, Trojans, Sooners and Longhorns firmly entrenched as the favorites to win BCS National Championship.

NBA players travel a lot during the regular season and that doesn’t seem to be changing in the offseason as a lot of players are switching zip codes.
Remember how Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and then-Houston Rocket Ron Artest were giving each other the stink eye during the playoffs?
Well, the two will be teammates this coming season, as the Lakers signed Artest on Tuesday.
What’s July 4th without a hot dog or two….or 60, as it will be for Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi in the 94th annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Hey, I grabbed a bacon and cheese dog from a vendor yesterday and loved it, but I couldn’t imagine eating five dozen of them in the next year, let alone in a 10-minute time span. But that’s why we leave it to the professional eaters.
It might not feel like it for those who bet on the Boston Red Sox last night (victims to the largest comeback in Orioles history), but as the 2009 All Star break approaches, the BoSox have the best record in the AL, and have been a profitable play for bettors when picking their spots.
Today they hit the field trying to shake off yesterday’s collapse and win the series with Baltimore.
Hey, look who’s back in the majors! It’s John Smoltz, who has missed over a year after undergoing shoulder surgery.
He’s not doing the Tomahawk Chop in Atlanta anymore though but rather, he’s taking the mound for the Boston Red Sox.
Smoltz’s first start for the BoSox comes tonight when his new team heads to the nation’s capital to play the Nationals—SPORTSBETTING.com has Boston listed as a -135 road favorite and the Total is set at 9.
Ok, Kobe and the Lakers hoisted the NBA Championship trophy a few weeks back (was it even that long), but that was the past, now teams have to look to the future, as the NBA Draft approaches.
The baseball season is picking up steam.
Today features more interleague MLB Gambling action, with the exception of the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds game.
One of the things interleague baseball allows for is cross-town rivalries and that is exactly what’s happening in the Windy City as the north side Chicago Cubs host the south side Chicago White Sox with the Cubbies listed as -165 favorites and the ChiSox at +145.

Too early to bet football…not at all.
It may only be spring practice time in the NFL but training camp and preseason will creep up on unsuspecting bettors, in fact, at the local bookstore, we even noticed some football season preview guides for sale already.
The Magic re-grouped after going down 2-0 in LA and delivered a huge home win for their rabid fans in Game 3.
Now they play what is arguably the biggest game in franchise history (no disrespect Game 2). The big question is can the shooters stay hot in Game 4, or will Kobe and crew put together a complete game and pull off the underdog win on the road.
The universe appears to have corrected itself.
A year ago, the Tampa Bay Rays, a perennial doormat, surprised everyone as they dominated the AL East division, beating out the usual contenders, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, for the division title.
The lines are up for every game in the NBA Finals. Want to bet Game 3 in Orlando? The Magic are 3-point favorites, and if there is a Game 7 back in LA, the Lakers are 6-point favorites.
SPORTSBETTING.com has all the lines up with their “Prospective Bets”, which have been running all NBA playoffs.
And while the Finals matchup won’t feature a Kobe vs. King James battle, it is still an intriguing series.
The Celtics are 9-point underdogs in their series opener vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers…and bettors at SPORTSBETTING.com still like King James and the Cavs to continue their playoff domination, as 80% of all the volume wagered on the game is on Cleveland.
One month into the baseball betting marathon that is the MLB regular season is behind us and there have been some surprises thus far.
Let’s have a quick look at this opening month from a bettor’s perspective.
1) Who is the best “money” team in the AL East?
