Did you get your ass handed to you in Week 8 of NFL betting? You’re not alone. The good thing is that we’re only half way through the betting season, so it’s time to get back on track in our sportsbook! There are tons of nice plays this weekend so let’s not waster our time.
Let’s talk football with the Week 9 Odds and Lines!
Week 8 was full of upsets once again as underdogs paid off for NFL betting fans. Will the trend continue in Week 9, or will the favorites step up and come through?
When the lines for Week 9 first began appearing the biggest spread to be found was in the Detroit/Chicago matchup. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering the Lions are winless at 0-7 and they’re visiting Chicago in Week 9 with the Bears tied for first in the NFC North and coming off their bye.

Rangers Justifying Steep Odds in Eastern Conference
One week in to your NHL hockey betting season, it became apparent that the New York Rangers were on a mission. Unlike years past, the Rangers have stormed out of the gates to a 8-2-1 SU record after replacing Jaromir Jagr with Markus Naslund, previously of Vancouver, and Nikolai Zherdev.
We’re just about half way through the NFL regular season. For NFL betting fans, it’s time to revisit those prop online wagers that we made before the season started and to see if it makes sense to lay down more sports betting dollars on some of the props.
So who will lead the NBA in scoring this season? The whole list is too long to put down here. You can find it at BetUS Sportsbook when you go to the basketball futures. But we’ll focus on highlights here.
There is no question as to the major contenders in this race.:
It may not be officially known as the ‘World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party’ anymore, but the game between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs is as big as ever.
Georgia (7-1) has moved to 6th in the BCS Standings after a big 52-38 win at LSU. Florida (6-1) is 8th in the BCS after their second consecutive blowout win, this one 63-5 against Kentucky.
The Boston Celtics and L.A. Lakers are home favorites but it’s the underdogs that should be garnering interest as the NBA opens the 2008-2009 season with a televised double-header on TNT.
The defending champion Celtics raise their newest banner to the rafters and then host the Cleveland Cavaliers as seven-point favorites starting at 8 pm ET. That game is followed by Western Conference champion Lakers hosting the Portland Trail Blazers are 7 ½-point favorites.

There is a long list of players who are listed under consideration for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, as it is presented by BetUS Sportsbook. It’s probably more players than are necessary for the purposes of true analysis, and some could most likely be eliminated out of hand, but I thought I might present my own short comments about each of these eligible players, and reduce them to a top ten list that hopefully a profitable winner will come from.
In handicapping every one of the NBA divisions here at BetUS NBA Sportsbook, we are primarily focused on “value.” As we proceed (and you will also get out opinion on the East), you’ll see that the favorites aren’t always my choices, because I am trying to balance the strength of each team withthe value it presents as a NBA betting proposition. I hope you’ll be able to get some ideas out of it.
When we handicap each of the NBA divisions at BetUS NBA Sportsbook, we take a look at what offers value more than anything else. As we go along (and we’re doing the West as well), you are going to find that the favorite in the division is not always our choice to win a division, and that is because the price is not appetizing. So we are balance who we think is the best with who we think COULD be the best, and worth a play.
In last week’s NFL Sunday Re-cap I wrote about how the wheels had fallen off of the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys. I alerted online sportsbook betting fans to the fact that all three of those teams had become horrible online betting propositions.
Don’t be surprised if the Philadelphia Phillies somehow manage to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, by bashing their fantastic young pitchers senseless en route to winning the second World Series title in franchise history.
Now, after guiding BetUS MLB wagering fanatics to a respectable 3-2 wagering mark in the BetUS Sportsbook on the first five games of this World Series matchup, including calling Sunday’s 10-2 overwhelming rout ‘dead-on’ in the BetUS Locker Room, finishing off the 2008 MLB season with one more winning wager is going to be an almost literal, ‘piece of cake.’

The Tennessee Titans are favorites against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football and that’s just the way they like it.
Tennessee has started the season at 6-0 and 5-0-1 against the spread(3-0 ATS at home). They were able to accomplish this despite playing the majority of games with their backup quarterback Kerry Collins. Collins is a savvy veteran who knows how to limit turnovers and manage a game, his high number of throws is just 35.
