The NFL Week 2 action is now in the books, so it’s time to take a look back at some of the happenings from this past weekend, plus preview some of what’s on tap for the coming weekend. Lines are already up for all the games at Sportsbook.com.
If you are in need of a HOT fantasy football player these Top Hot players for the week should help you out if they’re in your lineup. They may also be free agents on your waiver wire.
If you need to dump a lame duck on your team, these NOTS should be them. Throw em in the trash if you can afford to not have them on your bench. Fantasy Football always favors the prepared mind.
The more research you do, and the more HOT players you have to choose from on your team, the better your odds are of winning your fantasy football league outright this year.
A look at the hot and cold pitchers going today. The information you need to know whether it is for fantasy baseball or wagering contests. Another POD loser, I really do not know what has gone wrong, but I am going to make an adjustment and change a few things.
Betting on golf doesn’t get much simpler than this. Only 30 men are competing at the 2009 Tour Championship, and only one of those men is Tiger Woods.
The Tour Championship is the last stop on the FedExCup trail; the list of participants has been whittled down to the Top 30 players in the points standings, and the points have been reset going into Thursday’s opening round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Here is your new Top 5 list:
My Week 2 picks went for 11 of 16, including a couple of upsets. NFL betting fans these are my NFL Week 3 pick.
College Football Week 3 unbelievable. The upset by the Huskies over the Trojans should remind everyone just how important the QB position is in college football.
This week they are some big games that could be decided by how well the QBs perform.
I’m looking forward to see the QBs battle between Jacory Harris andTyrod Taylor as Miami visits Virginia Tech this weekend.
One quarterback is beginning a very promising pro career. The other quarterback could be in his twilight years following a career-threatening injury. Both playcallers try to lead their teams to victory when the Atlanta Falcons visit the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
Oddsmakers have set the Patriots as 4-point home favorites.
How high can the O/U go in Saints games? 55? 60? 70?
In racing off to a 2-0 start, Drew Brees and the Saints are already being compared to the 2007 New England Patriots, who won 16 straight in the regular season before that Super Bowl flameout. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdown passes that season, and there is speculation that Brees will challenge that record.
Herds of unicorns will be be photographed roaming the desert outside Phoenix before the Cardinals turn into a run-oriented team. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin (as long as he sticks around), Kurt Warner and last year’s march to the Super Bowl pretty much guarantee that for the time being, and beyond, the Cardinals will live and die with the forward pass.
Line Movement
There has been a decent amount of line movement early on. The game came out anywhere from -3.5 to -4.5 and was moved down to -3 rather quickly. Tuesday night and early Wednesday saw the number go back to -3 and then by the afternoon, there were -3.5’s across the board with even some -4’s available.
Odds: Ole Miss -4.5 | ML: -175 | O/U 53.5
Odds: South Carolina +4.5 | ML: +155
Week three is already upon us and after two weeks under their belts teams will begin to show their true identities. There are several games in week three that will prove to be important in early division positioning and begin to show where some of the teams may end up by seasons end. My NFL pick for best game of the week is the Indianapolis Colts at the Arizona Cardinals.
So far it has been good to be on the road this season as the visiting team is 20-12 ATS going 10-6 in each of the first two weeks. The points were flying around last week as well as nine games went over. New Orleans, with arguably the hottest offense in the NFL went over by themselves, putting up 48 points against Philadelphia.
Here is a rundown of all this week’s games and the current lines as supplied by beted.com.

College football betting continues and some interesting storylines are developing. One of the biggest is the rise of the Miami Hurricanes. Wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech really have people talking and the polls are listening too, as the Hurricanes cracked the nation’s top 10 this week. Can they keep the surprise success going with another tough road game at Virginia Tech?
This week our College Football System of the Week comes from the Michigan State – Wisconsin matchup which takes place on Saturday afternoon in Madison Wisconsin. The line for this contest has opened with Wisconsin favored by 2.5 points over the visiting Michigan State Spartans.

The Major League baseball season is winding down, and this year seems quite quiet as th leaves turn to orange and red in New England. The pennant races are just a myth, but there is money to be found in the late season swoon of some of the teams that apparently have found the grass greener on the golf course, as the road is paved with gold. That road has been highly profitable, if you dig into the what becomes apparent quite frequently late in the season.
