The scoreboards should be lighting up fast and furiously on Saturday night when the Oklahoma State Cowboys (8-1, 8-0 ATS) put their unblemished mark against the football betting odds on the line in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (9-0, 4-2-1 ATS).
The #1 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-0 SU, 6-3 ATS) will try to keep their BCS National Championship hopes alive this week with a trip to the Bayou to take on Nick Saban’s former squad, the LSU Tigers (6-2 SU, 2-5 ATS).

Fresh off of a fantastic home victory versus the then number one ranked Texas Longhorns, the Texas Tech Red Raiders will try and keep things going against another highly ranked, difficult team to beat, the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys actually played very well on the road against the Texas Longhorns two weeks ago. They will not be a pushover in this game and if Texas Tech believes that they could just waltz through this game after playing their butts off against the Longhorns, they have another thing coming.
The Alabama Crimson Tide goes into Baton Rouge to take on the 15th ranked LSU Fighting Tigers in a game where Alabama will try to remain undefeated and atop the BCS Rankings. For sports betting fans, finding a winner in this game against the spread is going to be much more difficult that it looks.
California, which in the past few college football seasons has been the only team to challenge USC for the Pac-10 title, will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Trojans in the Coliseum. USC has been absolutely terrific lately.
The Green Bay Packers (4-4 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) and the Minnesota Vikings (4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS) played each other in the opening game of the season. On Sunday they meet up once again, in an NFC North contest that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Metrodome (artificial turf) in Minneapolis.

It’s do or die for Carl Edwards this weekend, as he must finish ahead of Jimmie Johnson in the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway to keep his rival from all but locking up his third straight NASCAR championship. That leaves NASCAR betting fans with two options this weekend, and the same two on the Cup futures odds.
We’re into the second half of the NFL season. How’s your bankroll holding up? Are you on a full tank, or are you running on fumes?
The sad truth is, many football bettors have already emptied their wallets. Think of the full 17-week regular season as a triathlon. Everyone starts out hopeful, but through poor money management or a simple lack of handicapping ability (often both in considerable amounts), some people have to give up early. You don’t want to be one of those people. You want to be an ironman.
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).

What a game between Texas and Texas Tech. It was a nearly impossible spot for Texas, having played 3 undefeated teams in a row, and heading to Lubbock to meet their 4th. They left with the loss, being the 2nd undeated team to drop from the ranks, as Tulsa went down to Arkansas as well.
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?
The Washington Wizards (0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U) have dropped each of their first two games in the BetUS Sportsbook but may have a decent shot at winning tonight. The Wizards will face a Milwaukee Bucks (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 1-3 O/U) team that has overhauled its roster and changed head coaches coming into the 2008-09 season.
Though the betting circles around the country have been keeping Graham Harrell down because of the program he plays in now have no choice but to give him the credit he’s rightfully due.
