Well, NFL betting fans, do you still think I’m crazy? The Shocker Special urged you to pick Detroit over Washington last week and didn’t lead you astray. Let’s see if we can start a trend. This week’s pick probably seems just as crazy: the pathetic Browns to beat the surprising Cincinnati Bengals…or at least cover the 5.5-point spread.

If that NFL betting headline doesn’t grab your attention, nothing can. I’m telling you to pick the Detroit Lions, a team that hasn’t won’t a football game since the 2007 season, against the Washington Redskins this week. Am I insane? Maybe, but here are some reasons why the Lions are good NFL picks this week – some more significant than others.

The highlight of NFL Week 1 betting could come on Thursday, when the defending Super Bowl champions from Pittsburgh will welcome Tennessee to Heinz Field, which hasn’t been kind to the Titans in recent years.
Titans vs Steelers odds – Thursday, September 10, 8:30 PM ET – Steelers -6
The Titans settled on Kerry Collins over Vince Young at quarterback, but it’ll be interesting to see how long that arrangement lasts. Whoever the pivot is, they’ll have LenDale White and Chris Johnson in the backfield again, but there isn’t much at receiver.
The Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners battle it out on Thursday night for top honors in the 2008 – 2009 College Football Season. The Gators had to fight tooth and nail to get into this game after losing to Ole Miss in the third week of the season. A victory against the less than impressive Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl signaled that Florida is ready to take on the Sooners for the championship trophy.
Sports betting fans have to respect the Utah Utes. It wasn’t but a few years ago when the Utes had Alex Smith at quarterback and Urban Meyer calling the plays. Smith went to the San Francisco 49’ers and Meyer ended up coaching the Florida Gators. But the Utes have kept movin’ on, as Sam Cooke sang, winning games at a blistering pace.
Why in the world did the Arkansas Razorbacks release Houston Nutt as coach? The man knows what he’s doing. In one season he’s turned the Ole Miss Rebels from one of the least respected teams in the SEC to one of the top four teams in the SEC. Ole Miss actually beat the Florida Gators this season. No other team can say that.
This year’s Orange Bowl isn’t what online betting fans had in mind when they figured the Big East would battle the ACC. Online college football betting fans were probably thinking the BC Eagles from the ACC, although Virginia Tech isn’t bad, but Cincinnati from the Big East? Seriously? The Cincinnati Bearcats made it to the Orange Bowl by virtue of their 11 and 2 straight-up record. Among the teams they beat to get there were the West Virginia Mountaineers, ranked in the top twenty to start the season, the South Florida Bulls, Rutgers and Pittsburgh.
The Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all, features two of the most storied programs in college football history as the Penn State Nittany Lions travel to the Coliseum to take on the USC Trojans. For sports betting fans, this is one of the more intriguing match-ups of the Bowl Season. Penn State was somewhat of a surprise this year going 11 and 1 straight-up and 7-3-1 against the BetUS online betting spread.
The Georgia Bulldogs wish that they were playing in the BCS Championship instead of the Capital One Bowl. The Bulldogs were ranked number one in almost every sports betting fans’ list to start the college football season, but nobody told the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
New Year’s Day isn’t the only day for sports betting fans to dig in and make online bets on college football bowl games.
There are five bowl games slated for December 31st and every single one them will provide BetUS online sportsbook football betting fans an opportunity to make some mullah!
So, let’s not waste any more time and get to the games!
The Oregon Ducks travel to San Diego to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Holiday Bowl. The Ducks were oh so close again to getting to the Rose Bowl this season but the USC Trojans found a way not to get into the BCS Championship and instead got a bid to the Rose Bowl. Oregon is coming off of a smashing victory over rival Oregon State in their Pac-10 finale.
The Missouri Tigers had everything going their way at the beginning of the season. They had Chase Daniels back at quarterback, they didn’t lose any key defensive players, and if anything they were going to be better because of the experience they garnered by playing in a BCS Bowl Game in 2007. But something happened once the season started – – the Tigers played below expectations.
The Trojans and Bruins do battle on the grid iron for what feels like the millionth time this Saturday. USC is, like always, one of the top teams in the nation. The UCLA Bruins? Not so much. For sports betting fans neither team has been all that spectacular. Even though the USC Trojans were hyped to the top of Mt. Olympus at the beginning of the season, their record against the spread hasn’t been all that great.
What has happened to the Dennis Erickson coached Arizona State Sun Devils this season? They were considered the second best team in the Pac-10 when the season started. In fact, they were ranked 15th in the nation. Sports betting fans were eagerly anticipating making a bundle on the Sun Devils like they did last season when the Devils surprised the nation by almost winning the Pac-10.
The SEC Championship game is finally here. The winner of this game no doubt will garner a spot in the BCS Championship on January 8th. The Alabama Crimson Tide is currently 12 and 0 straight-up and ranked number one in the country. From a sports betting point-of-view, the Crimson Tide have been terrific going 9 and 3 against the BetUS online betting spread. They don’t have a lot of superstar names on their roster, but they play a great brand of offense and their defense is easily one of the best in the nation.
The Oklahoma Sooners travel to arch rival Oklahoma State to take on the Cowboys. The Sooners were brilliant last weekend throttling the at that time number 2 BCS ranked Texas Tech Raiders. How did the Sooners do it? By playing up to their defensive capabilities. Sports betting fans will note that Oklahoma isn’t your typical garden variety college football team.
