The Seton Hall Pirates, (2-0, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U) have started the season on positive note, blowing out Saint Francis on opening night and most recently, Columbia last Sunday. The Southern California Trojans, (2-0, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U) have also won their first two games of the young season. Most recently, defeating New Mexico State, 73-60 on Monday.
If you’re ever feeling like you’ve been hit with the dumb stick, remember: The numbers don’t lie.

Whether you’re out on the Strip or gambling online, you see the same thing: casinos and sportsbooks, operating out of the same venue. It seems like a natural fit – both provide licensed betting to their customers. The clientele is much the same; Blackjack players love to bet on sports, while handicappers often switch hats and hit the Roulette tables. The two are joined at the hip.
Forget the slow start – the Anaheim Ducks are on a roll. After beginning the season in a funk the Ducks have heated up – paying off for those doing any NHL betting on them with eight wins (and an overtime loss) in their past nine games. Ryan Getzlaf and company will return to the ice Friday night, as they start their weekend against the Stars.
You think athletes have the biggest egos in the world? Then you’ve never met a former athlete who becomes a TV commentator. Labeling them as “Know it All’s” is barely sufficient.
NFL Season Kicking Off

Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Indianapolis Colts disappointed in Week 1 of the NFL. By far the Colts were the bigger disappointment.
