One quarterback is beginning a very promising pro career. The other quarterback could be in his twilight years following a career-threatening injury. Both playcallers try to lead their teams to victory when the Atlanta Falcons visit the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
Oddsmakers have set the Patriots as 4-point home favorites.
How high can the O/U go in Saints games? 55? 60? 70?
In racing off to a 2-0 start, Drew Brees and the Saints are already being compared to the 2007 New England Patriots, who won 16 straight in the regular season before that Super Bowl flameout. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdown passes that season, and there is speculation that Brees will challenge that record.
Herds of unicorns will be be photographed roaming the desert outside Phoenix before the Cardinals turn into a run-oriented team. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin (as long as he sticks around), Kurt Warner and last year’s march to the Super Bowl pretty much guarantee that for the time being, and beyond, the Cardinals will live and die with the forward pass.
Line Movement
There has been a decent amount of line movement early on. The game came out anywhere from -3.5 to -4.5 and was moved down to -3 rather quickly. Tuesday night and early Wednesday saw the number go back to -3 and then by the afternoon, there were -3.5’s across the board with even some -4’s available.
Odds: Ole Miss -4.5 | ML: -175 | O/U 53.5
Odds: South Carolina +4.5 | ML: +155
Week three is already upon us and after two weeks under their belts teams will begin to show their true identities. There are several games in week three that will prove to be important in early division positioning and begin to show where some of the teams may end up by seasons end. My NFL pick for best game of the week is the Indianapolis Colts at the Arizona Cardinals.
So far it has been good to be on the road this season as the visiting team is 20-12 ATS going 10-6 in each of the first two weeks. The points were flying around last week as well as nine games went over. New Orleans, with arguably the hottest offense in the NFL went over by themselves, putting up 48 points against Philadelphia.
Here is a rundown of all this week’s games and the current lines as supplied by beted.com.

College football betting continues and some interesting storylines are developing. One of the biggest is the rise of the Miami Hurricanes. Wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech really have people talking and the polls are listening too, as the Hurricanes cracked the nation’s top 10 this week. Can they keep the surprise success going with another tough road game at Virginia Tech?
This week our College Football System of the Week comes from the Michigan State – Wisconsin matchup which takes place on Saturday afternoon in Madison Wisconsin. The line for this contest has opened with Wisconsin favored by 2.5 points over the visiting Michigan State Spartans.

The Major League baseball season is winding down, and this year seems quite quiet as th leaves turn to orange and red in New England. The pennant races are just a myth, but there is money to be found in the late season swoon of some of the teams that apparently have found the grass greener on the golf course, as the road is paved with gold. That road has been highly profitable, if you dig into the what becomes apparent quite frequently late in the season.
College and pro football offer a variety of great match-ups every weekend. A good handicapper, though, doesn’t just look at individual and team match-ups. There are other factors surrounding a game that can be equally important to identifying a winning spread cover, such as scheduling and road travel.

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. Another POD loser, I really do not know what has gone wrong, but I am going to make an adjustment and change a few things. I do think I’m very close as my leans as of 11:22pm on Tuesday are 9-3, and one of the losses were the Rays, my POD which I liked the most!
I am looking forward to another profitable NHL season. We finished the 2008-09 season going 27-13 (7-0 on 10*’s) on my last 40 service plays. I had another winning season fully documented.
Pay close attention as this article has produced major profits since I started in 1998. Last year, we pretty much nailed both of our two spotlight NHL teams with the Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks had a breakout season with 104 points and making it to the Western Conf. Finals. The Hurricanes finished with 97 points and made the Eastern Conf. Finals.
Mississippi: 2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS
South Carolina: 2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS
The Mississippi Rebels’ offense is firing on all cylinders after just two games. The South Carolina Gamecocks’ offense sputtered to start the season but has been starting to warm up in their past two contests. The big question is if the Gamecocks can keep pace with Ole Miss when the teams meet in Columbia on Thursday night.
NFL week 3 betting shows us that football season is in full swing. Meanwhile, The Tour Championship marks the last week of meaningful PGA golf in 2009. Time to make one last bet. Will Tiger stay hot? Will the Stricker show return?
Or will the year end with a shocker? Let’s make some sports picks.
