The sad sack Detroit Lions (0-6 SU, 2-4 ATS) look like they are almost hopeless at this point. On Sunday they will try once again to post their first victory of the season when they take on the Washington Redskins (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL game that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at Ford Field (artificial turf) in Detroit.
After dropping their first four games of the 2008-09 season, the Houston Texans (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS, 6-0 O/U), enter their Week 8 matchup against the winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-7 SU, 2-5 ATS, 3-4 O/U), looking for their third consecutive victory.
National horse racing handicapper Michael Dempsey will attempt to pad his bankroll and yours with his daily column. He will feature several plays of the day from major tracks along with coverage of major stakes races, longshots, and will keep you up to date on what is happening on the circuits he covers.
There are only four races left and unless one of the most dominant figures in all of online sports betting somehow doesn’t suit up for the final races, it’s all over but the shouting.
While the rest of the BetUS online sportsbook world has been concentrating on the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, the NFL, and the MLB playoffs (for good reasons of course!), Jimmie Johnson has slowly dominated the Sprint Cup Chase.
Toronto Maple Leafs (1-2-3) vs. Boston Bruins (2-1-3)
Ron Wilson had one of the more perplexing coaching moves when the Leafs were toppled by the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout. Vesa Toskala, the Leaf’s starting net minder, was pulled in favor for Curtis Joseph, who promptly allowed two goals and earned the loss for the Blue Leafs. Will that ruin the already low morale in Toronto?
The Atlanta Falcons (4-2 SU & ATS) have been a pleasant surprise indeed for their fans. On Sunday they will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS0 in an NFL contest that is scheduled to kick off at 1 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field (natural turf) in Philadelphia.
Major conference college action begins tonight with SEC’s Auburn versus Big East’s West Virginia. We also have a preview of New Mexico at Air Force out of the MWC.
When the schedule came out this looked like a great non-conference tilt, but each team has had problems.
University of Georgia
There might actually be more interest in this race than the Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 25th.
Why? Because the brilliant Zenyatta, undefeated and seemingly invincible, will take to the track to quietly run her competition into the ground. Zenyatta is without doubt one of the best racehorses I have ever seen in my life. She’s simply phenomenal. There’s no doubt that she will be the shortest priced favorite out of every single horse running on both days.
The Oakland Raiders (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS, 3-3 O/U) and Baltimore Ravens (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS, 3-3 O/U), each snapped their respective three-game losing streaks on Sunday in the BetUS Sportsbook and enter this matchup on Sunday at M & T Bank Stadium.
Every time I sit down to write this article on Tuesday morning, I go verifiably insane. Nothing proved my case more than when Denver tripped over its own futility in Foxboro and got hammered by a surly New England Patriots team. While the Patriots emerge as a potential contender, there are at least seven teams that are in much better standing.
This is a key game for both of these teams as the Arizona Cardinals are coming off a bye week with a chance at extending their lead in the NFC West and the Carolina Panthers are coming off a scintillating victory over the New Orleans Saints but are still tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for first place in the NFC South.
The Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays may play to low television ratings but that doesn’t mean we won’t see stellar and exciting baseball.
The Sportsbook.com odds for the opening game are Even. The Series odds are Philadelphia +125, Tampa Bay -145.
The Philadelphia Phillies (99-72 SU, 76-89-6 O/U, 81-90 RL) and Tampa Bay Rays (104-69 SU, 80-90-2 O/U, 92-80 RL) will take square off at Tropicana Field tonight at 8PM Eastern for Game 1 of the 2008 MLB World Series in the BetUS Sportsbook and tonight’s pitching matchup figures to be a thriller with Phillies left-handed staff ace Cole Hamels (17-10, 2.92 ERA), going up against talented Rays lefty, Scott Kazmir (13-8, 3.54 ERA).
Suck on that Oklahoma and Missouri! Texas and Colt McCoy are here to prove everyone that they are here to stay. The Longhorns continued their incredible undefeated season by trouncing the Tigers 56-31. Can you say Heisman? We’ll have an update on the Heisman Race (and I use that term loosely) tomorrow, but for now let’s see which teams are vying for those BCS votes and which teams aren’t worthy of your betting consideration.
This is a huge game for not online NFL betting fans but for the Dallas Cowboys as well. Should they lose this then I believe online football wagering fans can honestly say that the wheels have fallen off the semi-truck that was the Dallas Cowboys. They won’t be rolling over any contenders in the NFL after a loss to the Bucs on the road.
