Scheduled Dates/Times Week 5 NFL Football
Conference action opens up finally for the Big 12 this Saturday. While other conferences like the SEC, ACC, Big 10 and PAC 10 have opened up conference play, with some major upsets already in those conferences, The Big 12 has established 5 teams in the Top 25 and 2 teams in the Top 3. Look for Missouri and Oklahoma to be the power of this conference this season once again, and no doubt butt heads in Kansas City in December for the Big 12 Championship.
Yes, the King of all wagering sports is in full swing, that would be football. Year in and year out it amazes me that action junkies wait till football to unload 10 or more games a weekend in football, and pound Monday Night football with all they have to chase losses or attempt to double up on profits. You are forgetting one thing, the money is just as green if not greener in MLB this time of year, and I make tons of it!

The Option Offense in football is one of the most venerable and classic nuances of America’s New National Pastime. The Wishbone. The Wing T. The Single Wing. The very thought of The Option brings one back to Yesteryear, Better Days and Days of Yore. Those were simpler times – The Option reflects that – and a Golden Time when speakeasies, jazz, hard work and racism were at the fabric of American Society.
The Miami Heat (15-67 SU, 35-46-1 ATS, 37-43-2 O/U), took a huge step backwards last season, going a pitiful 15-67 just one season after posting a respectable 44-38 record.
When last we saw the Atlanta Hawks (37-45 SU, 37-44-1 ATS, 42-40 O/U), they were scaring the bejesus out of the Boston Celtics, running the defending champions unmercifully at home before falling in seven games.
The USC Trojans opened up the college football betting weekend with a bang by losing to Oregon State and their tattooed quarterback. Georgia had the door wide open to take the top spot in the country, only to have the door slammed in a bloody nose by the Crimson Tide. Then Florida, of all teams, loses to Mississippi. So who’s on top of the mountain now?
The Navy Midshipmen (3-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 1-3 O/U), beat 16th-ranked Wake Forest 24-17 on Saturday to record their first victory over a nationally ranked opponent in 23 years.
After watching the USC Trojans (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 0-2-1 O/U), get their rear ends handed to them in last week’s 27-21 road loss to Oregon State, I am surprised that Southern Cal is giving so many points to a talented Oregon Ducks (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U), team that is coming off a thorough 63-14 rout of beleaguered Washington on Saturday.
The Pittsburgh Panthers (3-1 SU, 0-4 ATS) haven’t covered the pointspread yet this season. On Thursday night they will try to do that, and then some, as they visit Tampa to play the South Florida Bulls (5-0 SU, 1-3 ATS) in Big East NCAA college football action that is set to get underway at 7:30 PM ET at Raymond James Stadium (natural turf).
Ohio State took a big hit to their reputation with a blowout loss at USC in Week 3, but they’ll look to prove they’re the Big Ten’s best at Wisconsin on Saturday night.
The Florida Atlantic Owls (1-3, 2-2 ATS) returned 18 starters from last year’s Sun Belt championship team and once again played an ambitious non-conference schedule.
