A – Andy Murray. With the Australian Open just around the corner, the tennis season is slowly and quietly off to a start. It’s way too early to know how the year is going to turn out, but early indications are that Andy Murray, the talented but underachieving British star, is ready to unleash a big season. He beat Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on consecutive days to win an Aussie Open prep in Abu Dhabi this week.

The AFC West division title is on the line in the Sunday nighter, as the surging San Diego Chargers host the Denver Broncos. Oddsmakers like the Chargers to see another week of action, listing San Diego as sizable 8.5-point chalk for the contest.
A – Atlanta. I have to be a man and admit that I was wrong about the Falcons. I didn’t believe that Michael Turner was going to get the job done, that Matt Ryan was going to adjust easily to the pro game, or that the team stood a chance of making .500, never mind the playoffs.

With the end of the regular season on the horizon the oddsmakers are waiting a little longer to post the odds for some games on the Week 15 NFL sports betting schedule that involve a number of teams fighting for playoff spots.
A – Auburn. Tommy Tuberville is out as coach of the Tigers, but the circumstances, if the reports are to be believed, are odd. Even though his job was reportedly safe despite a lackluster 5-7 season, Tuberville stepped down this week. The administration says they were shocked, yet they decided to pay him his $5.1 million buyout even though they didn’t have to. Generous. Or stupid.
What’s funny about the NBA betting season is that good teams aren’t always great bets. We learned that the hard way with San Antonio last year, and they’re being even more stubborn this betting season. It’s clear that you stay away from San Antonio and Utah whenever they’re on the road, but who do you trust in this crazy NBA season?
