The Arkansas Razorbacks (3-3 SU, 1-4 ATS) are coming off a big upset win, and on Saturday they are set to tangle with the defensively-stout Kentucky Wildcats (4-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Southeastern Conference that is set to kick off at 7 PM ET at Commonwealth Stadium (natural turf) in Lexington, KY.
A pair of teams who are still very much in the running for the SEC title will do battle on Saturday when the Georgia Bulldogs (5-1 SU, 2-1-2 ATS) play host to the Vanderbilt Commodores (5-1 SU & ATS) in NCAA college football action that is scheduled to begin at 12:30 PM ET at Sanford Stadium (natural turf) in Athens, GA.
Two disappointing squads who expected more will try to improve their lot on Saturday as the Mississippi State Bulldogs (2-4 SU, 3-2 ATS) travel to Knoxville to play the Tennessee Volunteers (2-4 SU, 1-4-1 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Southeastern Conference.

Well my last power rankings that were realeased two weeks ago have completely changed. Several teams have come up the ranks and several fell like a rock off the top 10. Remember that Craig ranks the whole NFL but has only released his top 10, he can’t give out all his secrets.
The New York Giants (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS) went to sleep last time out and suffered their first defeat of the season. On Sunday they will try to rebound against the San Francisco 49ers (2-4 SU & ATS) in an NFL contest that is scheduled to take place at 1 PM ET at Giants Stadium (artificial turf) in East Rutherford, NJ.
New Jersey Devils (2-1-0) vs. Atlanta Thrashers (1-1-1)
The numbers show that both these teams are exactly where we expect them. The Devils haven’t moved away from their lockdown, defensive ways, while the Thrashers are allowing just as many goals as they get. What will happen when their Devils try to maintain their 4-2 SU record against the Thrashers?
The Ole Miss Rebels (3-3 SU, 3-2 ATS) apparently were not able to overcome the shock of upsetting Florida. Now, coming off a bye week, they will take to the road in facing the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (6-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) in NCAA football action in the SEC, scheduled to get underway at 3:30 PM ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium (natural grass) in Tuscaloosa.
There is a true crossroads game to be played in the Big Ten this Saturday, as the Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1 SU, 1-5 ATS), who are not completely out of the national title chase, visit East Lansing to play the surprising Michigan State Spartans (6-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) in NCAA college football action that is set to begin at 3:30 PM ET at Spartan Stadium (natural turf).
The Cleveland Browns (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS) are beaming after winning their second straight game. On Sunday they will travel to our nation’s capital to face the Washington Redskins (4-2 SU & ATS) in NFL action that is scheduled to begin at 4:15 PM ET at FedEx Field (natural turf) in Landover, MD.
Phoenix Coyotes (2-0-0) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (0-2-1)
If the Blackhawks are trying to prove that they’re the up and coming future of the NHL, they’re not off to the kind of start that proves it. Chicago has been outscored 3.67 goals against to 2.00 goals for in their first three contests. Though Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews usually generate some betting confidence, they’re not a safe pick right now for our NHL betting community.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-1 SU, 4-0 ATS) are doing better than expected under new coach Paul Johnson. On Saturday they will be facing a team in upheaval, as they travel to face the Clemson Tigers (3-3 SU, 0-4 ATS) in an Atlantic Coast Conference game in NCAA college football action, slated to begin at Noon ET at Memorial Stadium (natural grass) in Clemson, SC.
Jimmie Johnson will be looking to make it four wins at Martinsville Speedway in the past five races on Sunday afternoon when he hits the track in the TUMS QuikPak 500. However, those that did any NASCAR betting on Johnson last weekend weren’t happy.
The series standings leader started from the top spot on the grid last time out in the Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, but he then had to settle for a sixth-place result.
The Blazers of Alabama-Birmingham (1-6 SU, 2-3-1 ATS) will try to end a three-game losing streak on Saturday afternoon when they play host to the Thundering Herd of Marshall (3-3 SU, 1-4 ATS) in NCAA college football action that is scheduled for a 4 PM ET kickoff at Legion Field (artificial turf) in Birmingham, AL.
