As football season fast approaches, I have made it my mission this year is to repeat my 2003 season prowess where I won the Ultimate Handicapping Challenge with a 69% ATS NFL record, and finished the College season at 68% ATS…
I finished 1st and 2nd respectfully in those 2 sports.
While those are lofty numbers, I accept that challenge personally this year and look forward to large profits, as 17 years of experience have taught me much.
Last season the Miami Dolphins pulled off one of the greatest turn arounds in NFL history. They went from a 1-15 record in 2007 to a 11-5 finish and an AFC Eastern Division title in 2008. One of the greatest things about the NFL is that your team always has a chance as it is very possible to go from worst to first in a year’s time.
Home Run Derby betting is the hot play of the week before British Open betting gets underway on Thursday, and Monday’s Home Run Derby is always one of the most anticipated events of the Midseason Classic. Offshore sportsbook odds are favoring St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols and Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard to take over the crown won by Minnesota’s Justin Morneau in 2008.
The Big 12 is spewing confidence.
Texas coach Mack Brown and Nebraska AD Tom Osborne claim their conference is top to bottom as competitive as the mighty SEC.
Whatever.
What a whirlwind since the beginning of the MLB season but now we have some time to take a breath and watch the ALL STARS battle for the Home Run Crown. Most years the big names gracefully decline to be in the contest but this year all the big names have entered.
Today Sports Handicapper Craig Trapp will breakdown the Home Run Contest and give you his Free Winner!!
Check out the week to week schedule of your favorite NFL teams. Starting in Week 11, flexible scheduling comes into play for Sunday games. NBC has the Sunday night schedule and has the ability to move games from the afternoon to prime time. Keep your eye open for NFL network television games as well this year as the network will be in competition with Espn, and NBC for games as well.

It’s simple math: Zero pass rush plus lousy secondary equals one firing of a defensive coordinator.

Entering its 63rd year of gridiron competition, the MID AMERICAN CONFERENCE will once again play a balanced schedule, meaning each team will play eight conference games in 2009. Let’s hope the results are more balanced that last year when Buffalo was the only team in the MAC East Division to finish the season with a winning record.
This is definitely a league that is wide open and one that likes to mix things up.
Seven different teams that have appeared in the last four MAC Championship games while nine different MAC schools that have appeared in a bowl game in the last four seasons.
Thought by many to be the toughest division in the NFL, the AFC South has fielded only two teams that have suffered a losing record the last three years.
As a result these teams are 23-10 SU and 24-9 ATS as non-division dogs of less than six points in that span, including 7-0 SU and ATS last season.
Will the South rise again in 2009? Stay tuned.
Although much has been written about what angles to use for profitable MLB Picks betting most of these articles focus on the pitching. It is a fact that pitching is 90% of the MLB Picks game there are also other profitable ways at which to look at an MLB Pick.
One such way, that I believe is somewhat overlooked, is the impact of the umpire on the outcome of an MLB Picks game. Specifically, the homeplate umpire.

Preview: Chicagoland is a relative newcomer to the Cup circuit compared to venerable venues like Martinsville and Richmond. NASCAR has visited this track just once a year since 2001, but it gives the sport an annual presence in a major TV market.
The list of drivers who’ve won here can almost be counted on one hand: Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, and Kyle Busch.
Bet At Our Top NASCAR Betting Sites Today!
1. Tony Stewart (+600): Stewart is the current series points leader, has won two of the past five Cup races, and is coming off a dominating performance at Daytona.
He won in Chicago two years ago, finished fifth here last year, and has accumulated the most driver points at this track over the course of the last five races.
2. Kyle Busch (+700): Busch won this race last year in impressive fashion, starting on the pole and leading 165 of 267 laps.
In just four Chicagoland starts, he’s climbed to fifth on the list of overall lap leaders and is second in the average finish category.
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (+3000): Junior had a little pep in his step Thursday after running sixth in practice and qualifying 13th.
He won this race in 2005 and has two top 5s in his last four Chicagoland starts.
Summary: Weather will be a factor the next two days and, although it may clear out by race time, it will leave a green racetrack behind.
Drivers will also be adjusting to a race that begins an hour before sunset and transitions into nighttime.
It’s going to be a fun-filled weekend with the UFC 100 odds up on the sports card for betting as the entire UFC 100 fight card is packed with tantalizing matchups.
But even so, UFC is not America’s pastime. Baseball is.
That being said, baseball will be taking a bit of a break mid-July, as per usual, as they get set for their All-Star Game and break.
