The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-6 SU, 4-8 ATS, 6-5 O/U) have dropped three straight games including their first home defeat since 2006, a disheartening 69-61 home loss to UConn on Saturday in which they failed to cover the spread for BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting enthusiasts as a 2-point home underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook.
NFL betting surrounding the Super Bowl often focuses on the spread and the total at the expense of the many proposition wagers on the board.
Bettors get so caught up in examining every trend and line move (the Arizona Cardinals are currently 6.5-point underdogs, by the way), they forget some of the biggest value lies on the proposition side of action.
The Super Bowl is considered the premier online sportsbook betting event in the United States. Without a doubt, most online NFL betting fans wait in anticipation for the Super Bowl.
This is where football betting fans try to cash in on the big bucks. One of the best things about the Super Bowl is the fact that the BetUS NFL odds makers release more than just one against the spread line. This allows the astute online betting fan to find the best online odds for the biggest game of the season.
You might have heard about the football game they’re playing on Sunday. Super Bowl XLIII is the highlight of the year in both sports and sports gambling, and it’s the main event on this week’s Top 5 betting list. All times are Eastern; for current lines, visit sports.bodog.com.
Before the season you would have been hard pressed to find anyone who would have picked Arizona to even make it to the Super Bowl. But the Cardinals love being the underdog and are 3-0 as underdogs this postseason against the spread and Money Line. This past week we looked at the Pittsburgh Steelers and broke down both there offense and defense today we will do the same for the Arizona Cardinals.
The break even point when betting – 110 lines with football is 52.38 %. If you can pick winners above the break even point, then you will be a winner at the end of the football season. I am going to try and help you select the right time and correct number to bet on for you to win above the break even point.

ESPN analysts Jay Bilas and Bob Knight were singing the praises of Washington’s Jon Brockman Saturday on “College Gameday.”
Anyone who had the Huskies Thursday against USC probably isn’t as impressed with Brockman.
An All-Pac-10 candidate, Brockman went 0-for-8 against the Trojans, including a bloopers moment that Washington backers weren’t laughing about.

With the Super Bowl occurring next Sunday, both NASCAR and Major League Baseball on hiatus, and sports betting fans not really warming up to either golf or NHL yet, the NBA pretty much has the weekend all to itself.
The NBA schedulers couldn’t have made NBA basketball betting fans happier than scheduling a huge game on Saturday and a huge game on Sunday.
At least Cowher did Tomlin a favor by filling up the Championship hand of Pittsburgh with “one for the thumb.” Now Tomlin has a fresh hand to build his own legacy, and it could start as soon as February 1st, when the Steelers and Cardinals throw the gauntlet down in Tampa Bay for Super Bowl XLIII.
Handicappers are always looking for those teams that are over or under rated. The last few years Coach K’s team were over rated living off an illusion of past great teams. Last year pro handicappers got rich off playing against the spread when Duke was favored. But this years team is if you can believe it Under Rated.
Certainly you can read a plethora of articles on the advantages or disavantages of betting road teams with NBA picks. In fact, manay an “expert” handicapper has claimed large winning percentages in focusing just on road teams. Just like anything else in the handicapping world, there are some exagerated claims with trends and angles of any types.
