The SEC is in the spotlight tonight with 10 of the 12 teams displaying their talents. Here’s a preview.
LSU (-4) at Arkansas
LSU (21-4, 16-10-1 ATS) is the only ranked team from the SEC and is the only team deserving of national recognition.
The World Baseball Classic begins with the opening pitch on March 5th in Tokyo and Sportsbook.com is giving you all the odds you’re looking for.
While a lot of fans think this event takes away from Spring Training, there is no denying the popularity it enjoys worldwide and the great publicity it brings to MLB and baseball in general.
The NBA post All-Star break begins tonight and we are focusing on three games with some good betting opportunities.
Charlotte Bobcats (+8.5) at Orlando Magic – 7 pm ET
The Orlando Magic (38-13, 34-17 ATS) are still learning about life after Jameer Nelson and are looking to return to earlier season form.
The health of star forward Robbie Hummel could be the key as the Purdue Boilermakers host the Michigan State Spartans on Tuesday night.
Hummel missed three games with a stress fracture in his lower back and the Boilermakers were a different team without him, going 1-2 straight-up and ATS. Hummel was able to return Saturday off the bench and give the team 24 minutes, but Purdue could only muster a 49-45 win at Iowa, failing to cover the five-point spread.
Free agent Manny Ramirez could be the key to the National League pennant and a big payday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a tremendous value at 8:1 odds to win the N.L. pennant at Sportsbook.com. Those odds are sure to drop quickly if Ramirez finally signs with the Dodgers and that could happen any minute with pitchers and catchers already reported.
With eight weeks left in the regular season, now’s the best time to examine some hockey betting systems with a track record of success.

What a difference a month makes! Exactly four weeks ago this Saturday, Syracuse went to Georgetown and each team was ranked in the Top 12 in the country. Now, a multitude of losses later, each is trying to regain confidence to make a big push into March.
The UCLA Bruins (19-4) look for their 5th straight win and cover on Thursday night, but it won’t be easy against their Pac-10 rivals, the Arizona State Sun Devils.
UCLA has parlayed their winning streak into the # 11 ranking in the AP and 6th in the ESPN coaches poll. It’s a little surprising that the AP sportswriters have them ranked that much lower, and the Bruins will be looking to send a message.

Sportsbook.com has Louisville as three-point favorites. The game starts at 7 pm ET.
