It may not be officially known as the ‘World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party’ anymore, but the game between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs is as big as ever.
Georgia (7-1) has moved to 6th in the BCS Standings after a big 52-38 win at LSU. Florida (6-1) is 8th in the BCS after their second consecutive blowout win, this one 63-5 against Kentucky.
Don’t be surprised if the Philadelphia Phillies somehow manage to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, by bashing their fantastic young pitchers senseless en route to winning the second World Series title in franchise history.
Now, after guiding BetUS MLB wagering fanatics to a respectable 3-2 wagering mark in the BetUS Sportsbook on the first five games of this World Series matchup, including calling Sunday’s 10-2 overwhelming rout ‘dead-on’ in the BetUS Locker Room, finishing off the 2008 MLB season with one more winning wager is going to be an almost literal, ‘piece of cake.’
If you had told me that Kerry Collins would be quarterbacking the league’s best team at the halfway mark of the season, I would’ve slapped you in the face, kicked you in the nuts and set your pants on fire (because that’s what you do to liars). But here we are staring at the Week 8 odds and lines with Collins at the helm of the Tennessee Titans, who are on the verge of an undefeated season. With a definitive win over the Colts, it will be nearly impossible for Indianapolis to wrestle the top spot in the AFC North from the reigning Titans.
Series: 2-1 Phillies
This Game 4 matchup is a contest that the Philadelphia Phillies would love to win if they are to have any chance at beating the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 MLB World Series!
The fact of the matter is that the Phillies clearly don’t have the starting pitching to match up with a Rays team that genuinely looks like they could – not only go from worst to first – but could maintain their newfound level of excellence for years to come!
Two teams who probably thought they would be doing a lot better at this time will lock horns on Sunday, as the San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS) play the New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL contest that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium (natural turf) in London.
The Seattle Seahawks (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS) are looking for a break that will give them some badly-needed momentum. On Sunday they will try to get it against the San Francisco 49ers (2-5 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is set to take place at 4:15 PM ET at Candlestick Park (natural turf) in San Francisco.
The Tampa Bay Rays started their turnaround 2008 campaign with a trade – they sent outfielder Delmon Young and infielder Brendan Harris to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for shortstop Jason Bartlett and starting pitcher Matt Garza. Bartlett has had a solid season, but it’s Garza who has paid off the most for all those doing MLB betting.
The Carolina Panthers (5-2 SU, 4-2-1 ATS) have put together nice defensive performances in three of their last four games. On Sunday they’ll look to build on that when they encounter the Arizona Cardinals (4-2 SU & ATS) in NFL action that is slated to kick off at 1 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium (natural turf) in Charlotte, NC.
The Cleveland Browns (2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS) are trying to fight off charges that last season’s 10-6 record was a fluke. On Sunday they will visit the state of Florida to face the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in NFL action that is set to begin at 4:05 PM ET at Municipal Stadium (natural turf) in Jacksonville, FL.
The Oakland Raiders (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS) would like to think they are on a high after beating the New York Jets. On Sunday they will tackle the Baltimore Ravens (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS) in NFL action that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at M&T Bank Stadium (artificial turf) in Baltimore.
The Buffalo Bills (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS) look like the new kings of the hill in the AFC East. On Sunday they will be taking on the Miami Dolphins (2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS) in NFL action that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Dolphin Stadium (natural turf) in Miami Gardens, FL.
Two undefeateds in the Big 12 Conference get together in one of the nation’s marquee matchups on Saturday, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-0 SU, 6-0 ATS) tangle with the top-ranked Texas Longhorns (7-0 SU & ATS) in an NCAA football showdown that is scheduled to take place at 3:30 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (natural turf) in Austin, TX.
The sad sack Detroit Lions (0-6 SU, 2-4 ATS) look like they are almost hopeless at this point. On Sunday they will try once again to post their first victory of the season when they take on the Washington Redskins (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL game that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at Ford Field (artificial turf) in Detroit.
The Atlanta Falcons (4-2 SU & ATS) have been a pleasant surprise indeed for their fans. On Sunday they will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS0 in an NFL contest that is scheduled to kick off at 1 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field (natural turf) in Philadelphia.
The Florida Gators (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS), who are on a scoring roll and just blew out previously third-ranked LSU, stay at home on Saturday night as they take on the Kentucky Wildcats (5-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) in SEC action that is set to take place at 12:30 PM ET at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (natural turf) in Gainesville, FL.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-2 SU & ATS) got a bye week after losing to North Carolina. On Saturday they will travel across the country to face their former coach, as they take on the Washington Huskies (0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS) in NCAA college football action that is set to kick off at 8 PM ET at Husky Stadium (artificial turf) in Seattle.
