NFL Superbowl XLIII Preview by Vernon Croy
It’s almost time for the biggest game in sports. Yes, that’s right the Superbowl is right around the corner and if you are looking for information on the big game, you already know that. Of course, what everyone wants to know is who the likely winner will be in the game, but most will tell you that it is just too soon to tell.
There’s a Big Monday of college basketball on ESPN with the Big East and Big 12 sending some of their best teams into the fray.

The prop bets revolving around Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward may be the key to big Super Bowl profits.
Ward, who sprained the MCL in his knee last week against Baltimore, will play but is not going to be close to 100% so it could offer bettors the chance to make out with lots of cash.
Take a look at our full list of 300+ props, and do your homework wisely as these represent the best chance to outsmart your fellow bettors, as well as provide a huge return on a small wager in a lot of cases.
The Washington Huskies travel to Pauley Pavilion to take on the UCLA Bruins in a clash of two huge Pac-10 powerhouses. The Huskies might not have the respect that the UCLA Bruins have from college basketball fans but sports betting fans know who the Washington Huskies are. They’ve gone 14 and 4 straight-up and 10 and 6 against the BetUS spread.

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.
The Duke Blue Devils always have plenty of support but their backers haven’t been getting any returns lately.
Since starting the season by covering 8 of their first 12 spreads, the Blue Devils have covered just one of their last five and that should give bettors pause heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Maryland Terrapins.
A great weekend of NBA betting can only be improved by the Top StatFox Power Trends.
We begin with a light Saturday, with just six games. However, two of the games involve playoff contenders with Orlando at Miami and Cleveland at Utah. The Magic have won 10 straight games in the head-to-head series. Cleveland will be looking to extend a 7-2 straight up and 9-0 ATS run vs. the Jazz.
On Sunday evening, the NHL’s best will get together for the league’s annual All-Star game in Montreal.
It’s East vs. West in an entertaining showdown that typically resembles an indoor-soccer game in terms of scoring, as evidenced by the 8-7 final in the 2008 game.
Ok, the eyes of the betting world are focused on Tampa Bay as Super Bowl XLIII is a week away from kick off; the Pittsburgh Steelers are listed as 7-point faves with the Total set at 47.
But while bettors gear up for one of the biggest betting events of the year; this is a great time to also start looking ahead to another big event, March Madness.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a 12-4 record and were the last of the 12 teams in this year’s postseason-field to actually take the playing field. By the time the Steelers were set to host the San Diego Chargers on January 11 at 4:45 ET, here’s the highlights of what had already transpired in this year’s NFL postseason.

Like most sports betting fans I am eagerly awaiting the day, which should happen very soon, when the BetUS NFL odds makers release all of the props being offered to NFL betting fans.
Right now, the only props on the BetUS online sportsbook wagering board involve the quarterbacks and running backs.
