Scott Dixon
Indy 500 odds: +425
The defending champ isn’t even favored this year but he is pretty close at just over 4-to-1. Dixon has been in six Indy 500s and he’s placed in the Top 10 four times, including last year’s outright win.
Finally the NBA Playoffs are upon us. Not a minute too soon Craig Trapp has heated up with his NBA Plays going 10-2 last 10 days!! Today Craig will break down the future odds for the Western Conference Championship. Some great value to be had if you can get past the huge favorite: Los Angeles Lakers.
With just a few games in the regular season in the NBA it’s about time to start examining the playoff picture. The Eastern Conference has a solid three teams that all can win the Eastern Conference crown. Let’s look at all three of these Eastern Conference favorites and break down their odds to win the NBA Eastern Conference.
The big ten title could all but be salted away if Michigan State pulls off another road win. Purdue is trying to spoil the parade and show why they were the preseason favorite to win the BIG TEN. Both teams are coming into this game with a key player questionable for the big game. Michigan State are the odds makers road favorite with a spread of -3.
So much is up for grabs in this huge big east match up. On the line in this game is: possibly a #1 seed for March, Big East Championship, and possibly a #1 national ranking. Three weeks in a row now UCONN has found themselves as the #1 team in the country and now they face there highest rank team all year.
The biggest sports betting event of the year takes place this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals meet on the grid-iron to determine the winner of the 2008-2009 Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are the surprise team after garnering a 9 and 7 straight-up record during the regular season.
With a few days left before the NFL Conference Championships, sports betting fans have a chance to get some money down on a few long shots for the Super Bowl MVP.
The reason to bet long shots right now is because both the conference championship games figure to be very tough contests. The Baltimore Ravens are definitely good enough to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals are good enough to take down the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers meet for the third time this season with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake. The Ravens will be trying to beat the Steelers for the first time this season while the Steelers will be trying to beat the Ravens for the third time this season.
Both of the teams that made it to the NFC Championship are big surprises. The Philadelphia Eagles had to beat their arch rivals, the New York Giants, on the road in order to get to the championship game. The Arizona Cardinals had to beat the two seed, the Carolina Panthers, on the road to get to the championship game. Out of the two teams, it’s the Cardinals that have provided the biggest surprises to online betting fans this NFL playoff season.
The Arizona Cardinals travel to Carolina to play in a divisional playoff game where most sports betting fans feel the Cardinals have no chance. Arizona is coming off of a spirited against the spread victory and straight-up victory over the 1 point favored Atlanta Falcons in their last game. Arizona looked very good in that game with running back Edgerrin James suddenly finding his feet.
I’m surprised that the NFL schedulers decided to make this the day game and the Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers the night game this Saturday. To me, this is the much more intriguing game, and I believe most sports bettors would agree with me, as the Baltimore Ravens defense looked absolutely spectacular this past Sunday when dominating the Miami Dolphins.

The San Diego Chargers needed overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts but they did so. In beating the Colts, the Chargers beat a team that had won 9 straight games and was led by the reigning NFL MVP, Peyton Manning. But things don’t get easier for the 9 and 8 straight-up Chargers as they have to take their game to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.
Sports betting fans have to consider this the most interesting NFL betting game of the NFL Divisional Playoffs as the number one seeded New York Giants take the field against their arch rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were fantastic on the road this past Sunday when easily covering a 3 point BetUS online betting spread against the Minnesota Vikings.
There’s no getting around it – football season is almost over. That means the end of betting season for a number of players, but why close up shop now? There is money out there to be made, and over the next four months the basketball court is the best place to get paid.
