NCCAB: HUSKIES ARE ROAD WARRIORS
The Connecticut Huskies have been making their backers a lot of cash on the road this season.
UConn is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in road games with lines this year. They had a huge win at Notre Dame that snapped the incredible 45-game home winning streak the Irish were on. Their only ATS loss was a 67-55 win at St. John’s where they failed to cover the spread by a measly half a point.

NBA: ‘BIG Z’ THE BETTING KEY?
Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Illgauskas could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Orlando Magic and it could be the betting key.

SUPER BOWL XLIII: PICKING THE MVP
Super Bowl MVP bettors are likely to lean towards putting money on the quarterbacks but there are plenty of other options that deserve attention.
With Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald having an outstanding playoffs and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu having a chance to intercept one or two of the many passes that Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner will pass, there are a number of choices that could lead to a big payday when the MVP trophy is handed out Sunday night.

Cavs vs. Magic NBA Preview (Jan. 29)
Cavs head to Orlando
Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Illgauskas could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Orlando Magic and it could be the betting key.
The 7’3” big man has missed the last 12 games with an ankle injury and the team has gone just 7-5 against the spread (ATS). For the season, the Cavs are just 9-6 ATS with ‘Z’ out of the lineup.
Contrast that with Cleveland’s stellar 20-8 ATS record with him, and you can see why bettors are constantly checking the latest injury report for this contest.
NCAAB: VENUE TO REVERSE NOVA TREND?
The Villanova Wildcats have had a lot of trouble covering spreads against the Pittsburgh Panthers, but can a new location help break the drought?
The 21st ranked Wildcats are 0-4 against the spread in the last four meetings between these Big East rivals with two of those failures coming at home, one at the on-campus Pavilion, and the other at the Wachovia Center where the Philadelphia 76ers currently play.
NCAAB: DUKE WINNING BACK BETTORS?
Duke Blue Devils’ backers should feel good about their team heading into Wednesday’s game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
With a dominating 85-44 display against Maryland on Saturday, Duke took the cash as 15-point favorites and claimed the #1 spot in the AP Top 25 rankings.

Bobcats vs. Lakers NBA Preview (Jan. 27)
NBA: LAKERS A BAD BET?
The Los Angeles Lakers are flowing with confidence on a four-game winning streak but they may be a bad bet tonight.
Sportsbook.com has Los Angeles as 11-point favorites with a Total of 196, but they haven’t fared well as big chalk this year. Tip-off is set for 10:30pm ET.
L.A. thrashed San Antonio 99-85 as 7 ½-point favorites on Sunday. The contest was so lopsided, Kobe Bryant only got off the bench in the fourth quarter for timeouts.
NCAAB: KENTUCKY FAVORED IN SEC BATTLE
The Kentucky Wildcats are the only undefeated team in the SEC as they get ready to play at Mississippi tonight.
Sportsbook.com has Kentucky (16-4, 10-4 ATS) as a nine-point favorite with a Total of 142.5. ESPN will have the coverage starting at 7 pm ET.
After another sluggish start to the regular season, the duo of Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson has sparked the Wildcats, and the rest of the team has found a rhythm in being role players and doing their respective jobs.
NCAAB: BIG MONDAY DOUBLE DIP
There’s a Big Monday of college basketball on ESPN with the Big East and Big 12 sending some of their best teams into the fray.
Here’s a quick look at the two nationally televised encounters:
Marquette Golden Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
This Big East clash will begin at 7 pm ET on ESPN. Click here for current Odds.
Injury offers Opportunity
The prop bets revolving around Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward may be the key to big Super Bowl profits.
Ward, who sprained the MCL in his knee last week against Baltimore, will play but is not going to be close to 100% so it could offer bettors the chance to make out with lots of cash.
Take a look at our full list of 300+ props, and do your homework wisely as these represent the best chance to outsmart your fellow bettors, as well as provide a huge return on a small wager in a lot of cases.
NCAAB: Duke’s profits slowing?
The Duke Blue Devils always have plenty of support but their backers haven’t been getting any returns lately.
Since starting the season by covering 8 of their first 12 spreads, the Blue Devils have covered just one of their last five and that should give bettors pause heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Maryland Terrapins.
