It has become crystal clear in this topsy-turvy NFL betting campaign, that nothing is as it seems for the majority of teams across the league.
Outside of a just a handful of NFL teams this season (Titans, Giants, Redskins, Panthers) nearly every team in the league has shown a serious propensity to display what I’ve long termed, the ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ symptom.
In last week’s NFL Sunday Re-cap I wrote about how the wheels had fallen off of the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys. I alerted online sportsbook betting fans to the fact that all three of those teams had become horrible online betting propositions.
Don’t be surprised if the Philadelphia Phillies somehow manage to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, by bashing their fantastic young pitchers senseless en route to winning the second World Series title in franchise history.
Now, after guiding BetUS MLB wagering fanatics to a respectable 3-2 wagering mark in the BetUS Sportsbook on the first five games of this World Series matchup, including calling Sunday’s 10-2 overwhelming rout ‘dead-on’ in the BetUS Locker Room, finishing off the 2008 MLB season with one more winning wager is going to be an almost literal, ‘piece of cake.’

The Tennessee Titans are favorites against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football and that’s just the way they like it.
Tennessee has started the season at 6-0 and 5-0-1 against the spread(3-0 ATS at home). They were able to accomplish this despite playing the majority of games with their backup quarterback Kerry Collins. Collins is a savvy veteran who knows how to limit turnovers and manage a game, his high number of throws is just 35.
The NBA tips off this week as we begin our eight-month marathon of the pro basketball season. Matt Fargo will be looking into Hot and Cold NBA bets throughout the season and he starts the first week by looking at four big matchups in the first four nights that you will not want to miss.
If you had told me that Kerry Collins would be quarterbacking the league’s best team at the halfway mark of the season, I would’ve slapped you in the face, kicked you in the nuts and set your pants on fire (because that’s what you do to liars). But here we are staring at the Week 8 odds and lines with Collins at the helm of the Tennessee Titans, who are on the verge of an undefeated season. With a definitive win over the Colts, it will be nearly impossible for Indianapolis to wrestle the top spot in the AFC North from the reigning Titans.
Series: 2-1 Phillies
This Game 4 matchup is a contest that the Philadelphia Phillies would love to win if they are to have any chance at beating the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 MLB World Series!
The fact of the matter is that the Phillies clearly don’t have the starting pitching to match up with a Rays team that genuinely looks like they could – not only go from worst to first – but could maintain their newfound level of excellence for years to come!
The Monday nighter in week seven in the NFL pits the Indianapolis Colts against the Tennessee Titans. For NFL betting fans, it doesn’t get any better than making an online wager on the Titans this season. They have been unbeatable. The Titans are without a doubt one of the top teams in the NFL. Because they are undefeated a lot of football betting fans say that they are the best team in the NFL.
The second leg of the Pick 3 Races 5 through 7 in Breeders’ Cup Day is the second running of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.
For online racebook fans, finding a winner in this race is not going to be easy. After all, there are some horses coming from Europe that look like they have great form. There are also some horses coming out of dirt and artificial surface races that look to be in terrific form.
Two teams who probably thought they would be doing a lot better at this time will lock horns on Sunday, as the San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS) play the New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL contest that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium (natural turf) in London.
The Seattle Seahawks (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS) are looking for a break that will give them some badly-needed momentum. On Sunday they will try to get it against the San Francisco 49ers (2-5 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is set to take place at 4:15 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
Virginia Tech looked like a live dog but couldn’t get it done. Combined with a Missouri blowout, the weekend ended even-steven. Let’s keep it going this week:
Record: 21-9 (+3.6 units)
He was 10 seconds away from a 3-1 Saturday in college football last weekend but instead he had to settle for a mediocre 2-2 day.
With just over two minutes remaining, the UCLA Bruins drove the field for a 23-20 comeback win over the Stanford Cardinal. The comeback thwarted Cras’ chances of the winning weekend he needed to turn around his college season.
If you love winning, you’re in the right place because we’ve been doing a lot of that here at Sportsbook.com this NFL season.
My NFL Pick of the Week may only look like it’s a mediocre 4-3 this season but I was robbed two weeks ago when Cincinnati came out with a late game day decision to sideline quarterback Carson Palmer.
Our Sportsbook.com writers continue to churn out victories and they are both hot after a 3-1 Sunday last week. While the guys have agreed on a lot of games this season, they aren’t seeing eye-to-eye this week. Cras enters with a 17-9-2 record with Mike at 16-10-2 for the season.
Here’s how they view four of this weekend’s games.
