December 15 2008 Edition – Teddy June Picks >
Tennessee Volunteers (8) at Temple Owls
Line: Temple +7.5
Final Score: Tennessee 72 Temple 88
An early tip here as this game kicked off at 12:00 pm EST and the Volunteers from the opening gate to the close never seemed to be awake as they never led at any point in this one.
How do you like the matchup folks? Lets here your comments below. Feel free to chime in!! Bradford and Tebow will square off for the national title. Who wins? We’ll be releasing picks for the entire month of December so check back often.
If anyone was looking for a reason to doubt Sam Bradford, then they weren’t watching their score running drubbing of Oklahoma State. The Sooners throttled their in-state rivals 61-41 and solidified Sam Bradford’s case for the Heisman. Only two candidates stand to challenge Bradford. One being a familiar face in the Heisman scene…
ESPN’s Monday Night Football heads to the Big Easy, and Bookmaker will offer all of the great football betting action you care to sink your teeth into in the critical NFC showdown between the Green Bay Packers (5-5, 7-3 ATS) and the New Orleans Saints (5-5, 6-4 ATS).
After two-straight ACC Championships, the North Carolina Tar Heels are the heavy favorite to get the national title that has eluded them the past two seasons.
Here is a 25 year look at the decline of the home field advantage in the NFL, and a look at several reasons, that could be contributing factors.
If you go back in the NFL with the inception of Monday Night Football, the rage with the novelty was the home underdog, which seemed to present blind value each time an opportunity presented itself. It has long been established that the homefield advantage was worth 3 points to the home team. How do those numbers work out today, and what is leading to the change?
Baseball is the gift that keeps on giving. No other sport provides as many opportunities for winning as America’s national pastime; imagine a 162-game NFL regular season, only with softer betting lines.
The playoffs are even sweeter for sharp handicappers. Just by following the simple “take the underdog” method, they’ve earned 4.17 units on a record of 12-12. You won’t find a system that’s any easier to manage than that. At this time of year, all the teams are very good, and it’s easy to get overly dramatic about their differences in talent level. The betting market floods with fans betting blindly on their heroes. Their money is yours for the taking.
If familiarity breeds contempt, the ALCS between rivals Boston and Tampa Bay will be a great one beginning tonight.
The pitching matchup for Game 1 is Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka versus Tampa Bay’s James Shields. First pitch is set for 8:37 pm ET and Tampa is a slight -110 favorite.
The New Orleans Saints host the Minnesota Vikings in a game with two teams going in opposite directions. The New Orleans Saints appear to be turning things around after losing their second and third games of the season. They were dominant in their victory over the San Francisco 49’ers in week four of the NFL season, destroying the BetUS online NFL betting spread of 3½ points. They beat the 49’ers 31 to 17 in that one. Even though the Saints are 2 and 2 straight up they are also 3 and 1 versus the BetUS online wagering spread in their four games this season.
The New Orleans Saints are 2-2 straight up and 3-1 ATS, but they’re a perfect 2-0 in both categories playing in the Superdome.
Get ready to tune in for this 8:30 pm ET game on ESPN. Early numbers show that 88% of Sportsbook.com members like the Saints giving three points and the Over/Under is set at 46.5. That’s the third highest of any game listed this week.

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.
BetUS Sportsbook bettors who wager on mixed martial arts will look overseas for UFC 89, which takes place at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England on October 18. Keith Jardine and Brandon Vera will hook up in a light heavyweight fight on that card, but what we’re going to focus on today is the middleweight bout between Michael “The Count” Bisping, fighting in front of his countrymen, against Chris “The Crippler” Leben.
The Orlando Magic (52-30 SU, 50-29-3 ATS, 36-44-2 O/U), must feel like Rodney Dangerfield BetUS NBA wagering fanatics!
After watching his team miss the playoffs in each of the last two years, Indiana Pacers (36-46 SU, 39-42-1 ATS, 41-37-4 O/U) president of basketball operations, Larry Bird, is doing something about it in a big way!
