NCAA-F: Georgia Tech vs. Georgia
Nov 29, 2008
The nickname of this Southern conflict is Good, Old-Fashion Hate and Georgia Tech is building a basketful of pent-up emotions having lost seven straight to Georgia.
The Florida Gators are playing like the best time in the country and bettors like their chances of blowing out a tough rival on Saturday.
The #4-ranked Gators venture to Tallahassee to play in-state rival, #21 Florida State, as 16 ½-point favorites. Sportsbook.com members are expecting a blowout and 92% are betting that Florida improves its national title hopes.
A famous American folk singer once said, “you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone.”
Nothing could be truer when it comes to college football betting, so make sure to soak it all in during the final full slate of games this weekend. Even by its own high standards, rarely have there been so many pivotal matchups on the board on Thanksgiving weekend that also featured so much value at the betting window (for the latest lines, go to sports.bodog.com).
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.
Two teams for whom a lot has gone wrong this season will make last ditch efforts to salvage something on Friday night, when the UCLA Bruins (4-6 SU, 6-4 ATS) visit the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-6 SU, 3-6 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action in the Pac-10 Conference, scheduled to kick off at 9:30 PM ET at Sun Devil Stadium (natural turf) in Tempe, AZ.

There is the possibility of a Rose Bowl berth on the line for the Oregon State Beavers (8-3 SU & ATS) as they take to the field on Saturday, hosting the “Civil War” against the Oregon Ducks (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action that is set to kick off at 7 PM ET at Reser Stadium (artificial turf) in Corvallis, OR.
The West Virginia Mountaineers (7-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) will be looking for a bit of payback on Friday afternoon when they hook up with the Pittsburgh Panthers (7-3 SU, 4-6 ATS) in the annual “Backyard Brawl” in NCAA college football sports betting action that is slated to begin at Noon ET at Heinz Field (natural turf) in the Steel City.
The Florida Gators (10-1 SU, 8-2 ATS) are staring at an opportunity to win the SEC, then go on to the BCS national title game.

Thanksgiving Day weekend means so many things to sports betting fans, but on Saturday night, there are few games with more importance than the 2008 edition of the Civil War between the Oregon Ducks (8-3, 5-6 ATS) and the Oregon State Beavers (8-3, 8-3 ATS).
The NFL concludes its 13th week of football betting action on Monday night with the AFC South on display for sports bettors, as the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7, 3-8 ATS) invade Reliant Stadium to do battle with the Houston Texans (4-7, 4-7 ATS). These two divisional rivals met earlier this season in Jacksonville, with the Jags pounding out a 30-27 overtime victory.
The Texas Longhorns (10-1 SU, 8-3 ATS) can sense an opportunity to play for a national title.

The Tennessee Titans (10-1 SU, 9-1-1 ATS), looking to rebound from their first loss of the season, couldn’t find a better place to do it than Ford Field when, on Thanksgiving, they will take on the Detroit Lions (0-11 SU, 4-7 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is slated for a 12:30 PM ET kickoff on Thursday.
The San Francisco 49ers (3-8 SU, 4-7 ATS) like to think they are making some competitive progress under interim coach Mike Singletary.

The Boise State Broncos (11-0 SU, 7-3 ATS) have one more roadblock in their path before they can declare an undefeated season.
