Flush with cash from winning the battle last week vs. the books on Sunday and Monday, the sports betting public takes aim at Week 4 action.
There are two games in particular that have been attracting a lot of attention, both from the media, the fans and of course from sports bettors.
Seems we’ve never met an NFL betting line we didn’t like. After a perfect Week 3, let’s try and keep the football parlay momentum going. Here are some hot picks to consider.
I will make an effort to give my sports betting advice or a quick over view of the games you want to know about. The Top 25 match ups each week is where most of the eyes turn. Last week I went 4-2 on premium plays last Saturday making me 8-3 the last two Saturday’s. Unfortunately the two losses we took were our two highest plays as we are now 4-2 on the year for NCAAF POD’s! We still took a profit on the day and are back for this weekend with some of the biggest plays of the year!
This weekend there will be just three Top 25 match ups between ranked foes including our game of the week with a Miami team facing Oklahoma.
Last week I went 13 of 16 for my NFL Expert Picks, including more upsets. This week we have some huge matchups like the Jets visiting the Saints in a battle of undefeated teams, or Tom Brady and the Patriots trying to answer a lot of the questions about if they are still the same team from 2 years ago.
There’s a reason they play the games. Teams don’t always play the way stats and power rankings suggest they are supposed to. That’s often evident early in the pro and college football seasons because some teams are very different from year to year. Look at a team like Michigan. The Wolverines stumbled badly last year with a very young team and a new coach bringing in a whole new offensive philosophy.
The third week of the NFL season was exciting and filled with action as usual. We saw the return of Michael Vick (even though it was pretty anti-climactic) and the Detroit Lions finally win a game. Let’s see who covered the spread and who didn’t in Week 3.
Sunday Night Football was supposed to be an AFC Championship preview. However, after Week 3, the San Diego Chargers (2-1, 1-2 ATS) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2, 0-3 ATS) are just focused on staying in the hunt in their respective divisions.
Oddsmakers have tagged the Steelers as 6.5-point home favorites for Sunday’s primetime matchup.
The crazy world of Pac-10 football will make a little more sense after the Southern Cal Trojans visit the California Golden Bears in Week 5 of the college football schedule.
Oddsmakers have set the Trojans as early 5.5-point road favorites. Southern Cal has won the last five meeting with Cal, posting a 3-2 record against the spread. Going back over the last 10 years, USC is 7-3 but just 4-6 ATS versus the Golden Bears.
Well, NFL betting fans, do you still think I’m crazy? The Shocker Special urged you to pick Detroit over Washington last week and didn’t lead you astray. Let’s see if we can start a trend. This week’s pick probably seems just as crazy: the pathetic Browns to beat the surprising Cincinnati Bengals…or at least cover the 5.5-point spread.
The updated point spreads, matchups and betting odds for Week 4 NFL action…
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Sunday, October 4 – 8:20 p.m. ET
Spread: Steelers -6.5
The Super Bowl Champion Steelers have stumbled out of the gate, dropping to 1-2 after last week’s loss to the Bengals. Beating the Chargers could light the fire, but losing will put Pittsburgh in a big hole in the AFC North.
There have been plenty of surprises and disappointments over the first three weeks of the NFL season. Who would’ve thought the Broncos would be 3-0 or the Steelers would have dropped two out of their first three games.
The sports betting world is getting set to make their NFL picks for this coming Week 4 schedule and one of the things everyone needs to be aware of is, of course, injuries. But not just players who are out of the lineup because of nicks and bruises, but also players who are coming back from an injury…or from a league mandated suspension.
Three weeks into the NFL season and no true favorite has emerged in the outright betting for a Super Bowl victory, but there have certainly been plenty of movers in the market and none more so than the New Orleans Saints.
Although plenty is known about the fierce Saints offense, which has played brillianty twice and spluttered for one half in an eventually big win over Buffalo, but their defense has surprised many this season.
Next week brings us the start of yet another major sports season, this time those big guys with sticks and pucks, so who is going to be the sleeper pick for 2009-10 in the National Hockey League?
There are a few candidates to pick from, but the team I fancy to make a massive improvement this coming season is the Ottawa Senators, a franchise that will look very different and could just even be a division winner.
The fall shuffle is on.
Beginning this month, teams from across the country will have their schedules turned upside down with Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday games.
Classes will have to be rescheduled, and practice routines will be disrupted. Players and coaches will be traveling late at night. It’s hectic.
