The NFL betting season concluded on Sunday with a championship game for the ages, as Pittsburgh and Arizona fought to the final play in Super Bowl XLIII.
For anyone that missed it, what were you thinking! Super Bowl XLIII was a classic that will be added to the list of the greatest NFL championships of all-time.
After missing last week’s regular NBA weekly review due to illness, (who’s not sick right now, eh?), you’re NBA-lovin’ and NBA-livin’, handicapping homeboy, E’ Dubya’ is back this week to set the record straight on who’s hot, who’s not – and more importantly, who’s going to cash in more often than not for my beloved BetUS NBA sports betting buddies.
The defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks (17-4 SU, 10-5 ATS, 8-7 O/U) have won six consecutive games since falling to Michigan State back on Jan. 10, covering the spread in every contest except one. The Baylor Bears (15-6 SU, 6-7 ATS, 8-5 O/U) got their 2008-09 campaign off to a fantastic start but are mired in the midst of a poor three-game losing streak.
The Connecticut Huskies, 20 and 1 straight-up, travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. The Huskies are easily one of the top teams in the Big East but against the BetUS online betting spread, they haven’t made any fans rich. Their record against the spread is a tepid 8 and 7. They are 4 and 1 against the spread on the road, though, which means sports wagering fans have to consider them in this game.

Sportsbooks and fans who bet sports online are shifting their attention from football to basketball, as we’re approaching the stretch run toward March Madness.
Tonight’s BIG MONDAY college basketball match up might be the game of the year in the Big East. If Louisville can beat there 2nd #1 team in the country in less than two weeks it will put them at 9-0 in the BIG EAST and in first place. Both teams come into tonight’s ESPN game riding winning streaks of 9 straight wins.
What a Super Bowl it was this past weekend. As I cashed in my Top Premium Play on the Cards, taking me to 15-3 ATS in Super Bowl Sides in my now 18 year career as a capper, I was more caught up in the game than I usually am, since all my emotion is usually point spread based, and not “fan” based.
Let’s take a look at how my Top 25 CBB rankings compare to those of the AP and the USA Today rankings. We’ll give you some insight down below on who we think will be moving up the ladder and who we think will be moving down. I’m currently 43-27 61.4% this year in College Basketball after finishing 72-36 67% and documented #1 last year in College Basketball action.
No letting up now. The NFL season might be almost over (don’t forget the Pro Bowl), but March Madness is nearly upon us, and we’re rushing headlong into the playoff stretch for both the NBA and NHL. If you’re one of the many who finally bought a big-screen television for the Super Bowl, you will love watching basketball and hockey in HDTV.

It’s been a relatively uneventful buildup to Super Bowl XLIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4, 11-7 ATS) and the Arizona Cardinals (12-7, 12-7 ATS). Most of the major storylines have dissipated: Hines Ward is going to play, Anquan Boldin is in a good mood, there’s been nothing in the way of bulletin board material, even action on the NFL betting board has been predictable.
Is it really going to be that easy? Anytime the Super Bowl has been an “easy pick”, most betting fans have been burned to the ground. The Patriots in 2008? Done in by their own arrogance and the looming weight of a perfect season. To be honest, the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl for a reason, and to bet against them is a foolish concept at this point, especially without proper research.
