If anyone was looking for a reason to doubt Sam Bradford, then they weren’t watching their score running drubbing of Oklahoma State. The Sooners throttled their in-state rivals 61-41 and solidified Sam Bradford’s case for the Heisman. Only two candidates stand to challenge Bradford. One being a familiar face in the Heisman scene…
The Raiders will pay a visit to an old rival this Thursday when Oakland clashes with the San Diego Chargers on the NFL Network. The Raiders, while being as miserable as always, are getting near-double-digits against a Chargers team that is losing respect from both their NFL betting faithful and the league in general.
Black Friday (and its online counterpart, Cyber Monday) signaled the start of yet another holiday shopping season. The handicapping world is also in overdrive this month. We’ve got pro and college football, pro and college hoops, and a healthy dose of hockey to get us through December – not to mention the latest superfight from the boxing ring. These are our Top 5 betting games of the week (all times Eastern; for current lines, visit Bodog’s online sportsbook).
If you’re an NFL player, you can’t just wolf down whatever you like this holiday season. That cranberry sauce might cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The league suspended six players on Tuesday for violating the league’s steroid policy – three of them from the New Orleans Saints, including running back Deuce McAllister. The accused claim their positive test for Bumetanide (a diuretic that can be used as a masking agent) came from a weight-loss pill called StarCaps that did not list that ingredient on the label. Tough noogies, says the NFL. All six are out for the remainder of the regular season.
What song will Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band open with during the Super Bowl halftime show?
That’s just one of the crazy proposition bets that you’ll find as the football season draws to a close. The market is fairly quiet right now – on the board at press time is the race for the 2008 Heisman Trophy, plus the usual championship futures odds on the BCS, the Super Bowl and the NFL’s two conferences. As we get closer to the big games, betting interest will soar, and so will the number of wagers available. About half the Super Bowl betting handle (which is estimated at $6-10 billion worldwide, or $100 million in Nevada) will come in the form of prop bets.
1. Derrick Rose – Chicago Bulls
If you haven’t seen Rose shatter Andre Miller’s kneecaps with a cross-over on YouTube, then you’re haven’t seen the highlight of the year in the NBA. The former Memphis point-guard is averaging 18.7 points per game with 5.8 assists. Imagining what he might be able to do with more talent is almost scary. And by “scary” I mean “totally freaking awesome”.
The defending Super Bowl champions have a chance to wrap up the NFC East crown on Sunday afternoon, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will have their chance to sink their teeth into all of the action when the Philadelphia Eagles (6-5-1, 7-5 ATS) invade the Meadowlands to do battle with the New York Giants (11-1, 10-2 ATS).
The Pittsburgh Panthers (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) coming off another nice upset of West Virginia last week, will lace ’em up with the Connecticut Huskies (7-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action between two Big East teams still looking for the best bowl game they can get to. Kickoff is set for Noon ET at Rentschler Field in Hartford, CT.
The New York Jets (8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS), the AFC East leaders, continue their playoff run on Sunday when they meet up with the San Francisco 49ers (4-8 SU, 5-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 4:05 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
The SEC Championship game is finally here. The winner of this game no doubt will garner a spot in the BCS Championship on January 8th. The Alabama Crimson Tide is currently 12 and 0 straight-up and ranked number one in the country. From a sports betting point-of-view, the Crimson Tide have been terrific going 9 and 3 against the BetUS online betting spread. They don’t have a lot of superstar names on their roster, but they play a great brand of offense and their defense is easily one of the best in the nation.
The St. Louis Rams are a mess. The Arizona Cardinals, up until the disaster against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving Night, were one of the best offensive teams in the NFL. I say offensive teams because the Cardinals’ defense has been exposed more than once this season. Arizona has the best wide receiver in the NFL playing for them, Larry Fitzgerald. There could be some debate from sports betting fans, but not from me. The guy has never dropped the ball. The Cardinals are still the class of the NFC West even though they were throttled by the Eagles in their last. Arizona is 7 and 5 straight-up and 7 and 5 against the BetUS Sportsbook online betting spread.
The New York Giants just keep rolling along. Nothing seems to faze the best team in the NFL. There isn’t another team that treats sports betting fans better than the New York Giants who are 11 and 1 straight-up and 10 and 2 against the BetUS online betting spread. The G-Men have one of the best offenses in the NFL. They have an extraordinary running game. Because of that the suspension of Plaxico Burress shouldn’t hurt this team at all. Eli Manning has plenty of other weapons to throw the football too. Forget Plaxico. His loss might actually make the Giants a better against the spread NFL betting team although I’m not sure that’s possible.
Someone’s three-game winning streak is going to come to an end NFL sports betting backers!
The Dallas Cowboys (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U) have won three straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, covering the spread for NFL sports betting backers each time out. The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U) have also won three consecutive games while covering the spread in two straight.
