Roy Jones Jr. returns to the ring for the first time in almost a year and while he’s an underdog, oddsmakers are giving the aging boxer a chance. The 36-year-old is listed at +205 odds as the pundits obviously expect he can match the undefeated Joe Calzaghe this Saturday on HBO pay-per-view.
The New Orleans Saints take on the Atlanta Falcons in a game with serious playoff implications for the NFC South. The Saints are 4 and 4 on the season. The Falcons are 5 and 3 on the season. If the Saints expect to make the playoffs this year, they have to start winning games within the NFC Conference as well as winning games in their division.
Fresh off of a fantastic home victory versus the then number one ranked Texas Longhorns, the Texas Tech Red Raiders will try and keep things going against another highly ranked, difficult team to beat, the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys actually played very well on the road against the Texas Longhorns two weeks ago. They will not be a pushover in this game and if Texas Tech believes that they could just waltz through this game after playing their butts off against the Longhorns, they have another thing coming.
The Alabama Crimson Tide goes into Baton Rouge to take on the 15th ranked LSU Fighting Tigers in a game where Alabama will try to remain undefeated and atop the BCS Rankings. For sports betting fans, finding a winner in this game against the spread is going to be much more difficult that it looks.
California, which in the past few college football seasons has been the only team to challenge USC for the Pac-10 title, will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Trojans in the Coliseum. USC has been absolutely terrific lately.
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?
Though the betting circles around the country have been keeping Graham Harrell down because of the program he plays in now have no choice but to give him the credit he’s rightfully due. After turning the Texas Longhorns on their head with Michael Crabtree, Harrell and the Texas Tech Raiders have vaulted to second in the AP Rankings.
The Denver Broncos travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in the first Thursday night game of the season! Okay, the first game of the season was on a Thursday night, but this is the first real Thursday night game. The key for sports betting fans in this game is to realize that the Browns will be starting Brady Quinn as opposed to Derek Anderson. As far as I know, the change was made out of desperation. How will it affect this Browns’ team?

The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off of a loss versus the New York Giants, travel to Washington to take on another very tough, very capable, NFC East powerhouse in the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins have been a pleasant surprise for sportsbook betting fans so far this season by playing well enough to garner a 6 and 2 straight-up record. They are only a game behind the Giants in the NFC East even though the G-Men beat them in the first game of the season.
The New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been very good this season. Well, they were very good this season up until their loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Sports betting fans should note that the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 straight-up but only 4 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The Bills have a very solid team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Marshawn Lynch and a more than capable quarterback in Trent Edwards.
This is a game between two teams going in opposite directions. After a terrible start to the NFL season, the Houston Texans have sort of turned the corner. They are now 3 and 4, well within earshot of the playoffs in the AFC, and have on of the top quarterback and wide receiver combinations in the NFL with Matt Schaub throwing and Andre Johnson catching. Their defense is coming together nicely and they should only improve as the season wears on.
The Cowboys travel to New York to take on the NFC East leading Giants. For the Cowboys, it’s the biggest game of the year. They have to start re-asserting themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. Sports betting fans will notice that the Cowboys weren’t good against the spread when Tony Romo was back there throwing the ball. Now that they have Brad Johnson starting for them at quarterback, the Cowboys could be even worse against the BetUS online betting spread. The immobile Johnson will need good protection from his front line in order to keep the Giants’ pass rushers off of him.
