A look at the hot and cold pitchers going today. The information you need to know whether it is for fantasy baseball or wagering contests. A little bit of bad luck for me personally and those who have followed my sports betting advice, but we are back on Thursday to rebound! With just nine games on Thursday we find five hot pitchers and four cold pitchers, so there is much to take advantage of.
A big ACC battle kicks off the third week of NCAA football betting action. Tonight’s feature Thursday night game is a Top 25 battle between the No. 14 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the host No. 20 Miami Hurricanes.
The Canes are currently a 5.5-point favorite and this number might still go up (it opened at 4.5 points). We could see 6 by game time if the betting action continues as it is.
If you’re doing some Mayweather Marquez betting on Saturday, it’s no surprise to see Floyd “Money” Mayweather as a massive favorite against Juan Manuel Marquez. But after 16 months of retirement, does Mayweather still have the hunger to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world?
Mayweather Marquez Betting – Saturday, September 19, 9:00 PM ET
Both Cougars have caught the public’s eye by taking care of top-five BCS opponents early in the season.
BYU, of course, knocked out Heisman trophy winner Sam Bradford before knocking Oklahoma off its lofty No. 3 perch.
Houston exposed No. 5 Oklahoma State last week in Stillwater.
Odds: Miami -5.5-110 | ML: Miami -220 // Georgia Tech +180 | O/U 53.5
Line Movement
We have seen a little bit of line movement as Miami opened at -4 and is up to -5 and -5.5 in other places. We have also seen the spotting of a -6 but that very well could not be the case for long.
The total has remained steady at 54.
So Week 1 of the new NFL regular season is in the bag and closed with a pair of exciting Monday Nighters.
The New England Patriots eked out a 25-24 win over the Buffalo Bills but fell well short of covering as 10.5-point home faves and a very late Darren Sproles TD run allowed the San Diego Chargers to defeat the Oakland Raiders 24-20 but wasn’t enough to allow the Chargers to cover as -9 road faves.
My first Big 12 report of the season, and I look forward to posting weekly recaps and updates from my specialty conference. My first feature play of the season was last week, a Winner on Nebraska -22 who wiped the board with Arkansas State in Lincoln. Numerous teams struggled last week in the Big 12 conference. Missouri was down 20-6 late in the third quarter at home to lowly Bowling Green from the MAC before a wild fourth quarter where Mizzou finally ended up winning it in com from behind fashion.
Week two in the NFL features a couple of great divisional NFL betting match-ups that might have some serious implications by the end of the season. The first is Seattle at San Francisco where the winner here will have the early edge for the NFC West title. Jerry Jones gets a chance to show off his new baby, Cowboys Stadium on Sunday night when the New York Giants come to town for a big NFC East showdown.
Here is a rundown of all the games and the current lines as supplied by betED.com Sportsbook & Casino.
Let’s exchange our NFL betting caps for mouth guards and gloves for a night, shall we? This Saturday’s UFC 103 makes up for its lack of title fights with main events that feature big time strikers almost guaranteed to knock each other out. Let’s break down the most anticipated bouts of the evening.
Catchweight (195 lbs) bout: Rich Franklin (25-4) vs Vitor Belfort (18-8)
Week two is always interesting as teams have that first game under their belt. Week one losers will be hungry for a win before the season gets away from them, and week one NFL winners will be on the prowl to improve their records to 2-0.
My pick for best game of the week is a tie between the Saints at the Eagles and the Giants at the Cowboys.
Georgia Tech: 2-0 SU, 0-1 ATS
Miami: 1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS
The ACC has a bad rep this season, but two of the conference’s top teams have the national spotlight on Thursday night. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Miami Hurricanes are both coming off nail-biting wins heading into this week’s ACC Coastal showdown.
A look at the hot and cold pitchers going today. The information you need to know whether it is for fantasy baseball or wagering contests. My POD’s continue to roll with a 23-5 record in the last 28 plays! Tonight we have some interesting pitching match ups as we have a total of six starters that fall into my “hot starters” criteria of an ERA less than 3.00 in their last 5 starts.
On the cold front there are only three pitchers with an ERA over 6.00 in their last 5 starts and they face off against each other.
With San Diego’s come from behind victory over the Raiders last night we can now close the book on week 1 in the NFL.

The following is a recap of each game’s The Over/Under NFL betting line and the actual results.
The Heisman race has become a one man sprint as the gang of Heisman hopefuls try their best to catch up to reigning favorite, Tim Tebow.
Sam Bradford’s separated shoulder is going to banish him from contention, but just who’s keeping up with Tebow in college football?
Despite a 10-3 record for week 1 so far, I am not a happy camper this morning, as two of the three games I dropped were big ‘question mark contests’ that I initially thought may go the other way from the outset.
Nevertheless, we produced some solid results that should help NFL betting enthusiasts to break the bank in a big way heading into Week 2.
