It’s not just an intra-state rivalry, but an intra-CITY rivalry as well, as the Georgia State Panthers (3-6 SU, 2-3-1 ATS) tackle the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) in NCAA college basketball sports betting action that will be tipping off at 7:30 PM ET at Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta.
The Golden State Warriors (7-18 SU, 10-15 ATS, 15-10 O/U) have dropped three straight games, failing to cover the spread for NBA sports betting backers each time. The Indiana Pacers (8-16 SU, 12-11-1 ATS, 14-9-1 O/U) snapped its six-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook the last time out and have alternated ATS wins and losses in each of their last six games.
The Boston Celtics (23-2 SU, 14-11 ATS, 11-13-1 O/U) may be in the midst of a thrilling 15-game winning streak in the BetUS Sportsbook, but that mark will be put to the test tonight by a team that has been waiting to play the Celtics at home all season – the rejuvenated Atlanta Hawks (15-9 SU, 13-11 ATS, 9-13-2 O/U).
The New Orleans Hornets, fresh off of a 7 point victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, go back to the Crescent City to host a game against the San Antonio Spurs. Sports betting fans have to take both of these teams seriously as the Hornets and Spurs have turned things around after suffering defeats earlier in the season.

Sports betting fans have to respect how the Pitts Panthers haven’t been involved in a game where they haven’t beaten their opponent by less than 13 points.

The Tennessee Titans were awful their game against the Houston Texans this past Sunday. Now, they have to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Strangely enough, the Titans haven’t secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs. That’s why the loss against the Texans means so much. The Steelers are 11 and 3 straight-up. They have a chance to secure home field advantage in the playoffs should they beat the Titans and then win in Week 17.
The Midshipmen of Navy (8-4 SU, 6-5 ATS) are coming off two straight shutout wins as they cruise into the first-ever Eagle Bank Bowl. They will take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-5 SU, 5-7 ATS), a team they vanquished during the regular season, in NCAA college football sports betting action scheduled to take place at 11 AM ET on December 20 (Saturday) at RFK Stadium (natural turf) in Washington, DC.

That’s right, a team known for grit, tenacity and guts has climbed to the top as our season-favorite Titans and Giants hit massive stumbling blocks.

Is this typical of these guys or what? For the first time in a long time the PGA tour had a tougher than usual decision to make when it came to naming the player of the year for 2008.

Okay, college football fans. Recess is over; time to get back to work. The 2008-09 bowl season starts this Saturday with four games, and while this foursome may feature some of the lightweights on the bowl scene (will there be a second St. Petersburg Bowl?), we’ve got at least two games that promise to be both entertaining and potentially lucrative. The first bowl down the runway kicks off this week’s Top 5 list (all times Eastern; for current lines, visit Bodog’s online sportsbook).
