But what about this weekend? Aside from the Army-Navy game, there&#8217;s a void where all those Saturday games used to be.<\/p>\n<p>No sweat. College basketball is up and running, and we&#8217;ve got the list of all the games involving Top 25 teams &#8211; there will be no shortage of action with these guys.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/procappers\/\"><strong>VIEW OUR TOP CAPPERS PICKS FOR THIS WEEK&#8217;S FOOTBALL MATCHUPS &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But first, our usual look at the king of all sports, the NFL. All times are Eastern, and the latest betting lines are at your disposal at <a href=\"\/sportsbooks\/bodog-review\/\"><strong>Bodog Sportsbook<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Bay at Chicago (1:00 p.m., FOX)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a classic old-school rivalry dating back to 1921, when the NFL was still called the American Professional Football Association. The Packers (8-4 SU, 7-4-1 ATS) are in the driver&#8217;s seat at 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS over the past two seasons, including a 21-15 victory in September&#8217;s season opener as 4.5-point home faves. You may recall Chicago QB Jay Cutler threw four interceptions in that game. It&#8217;s been up-and-down for the Bears (5-7 SU, 4-8 ATS) since then, but mostly down at 2-6 SU and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. The Packers have won four in a row at 3-0-1 ATS. At press time, the NFL odds had Chicago as a +3 home dog (+11) with a total of 41. There&#8217;s a 20 percent chance of snow at Solider Field with temperatures around the freezing mark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Diego at Dallas (4:15 p.m., CBS)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Chargers (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS) are on one of their patented surges with seven straight victories at 5-2 ATS. There&#8217;s been a lot of talk about the rebirth of former MVP LaDainian Tomlinson, but that&#8217;s just because he&#8217;s rushed for eight touchdowns over the last six games. Tomlinson is only picking up 3.3 yards per carry (the same as No. 2 RB Darren Sproles); in reality, the Chargers are riding the amazing arm of Philip Rivers (21 TDs, six INTs, 104.9 passer rating). The Cowboys (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS) have covered just once in their last four games and are coming off a 31-24 loss to the New York Giants (+1 home dogs). Dallas safety Ken Hamlin remains out of commission with a high ankle sprain. Nonetheless, the Cowboys are 3-point home faves with a total of 48.5. Live betting will be active for this contest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants (8:20 p.m., NBC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also have live betting available as usual for Sunday Night Football, as the Giants (7-5 SU, 5-6-1 ATS) prepare to host the Eagles (8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS) in a matchup with major ramifications for the both NFC East and the Wild Card hunt. Philadelphia, Dallas and Green Bay each have eight victories; New York has seven. Philadelphia has won each of the last three meetings with the Giants at 3-0 ATS. QB Eli Manning (20 TDs, 11 INTs, 89.2 passer rating) is playing on a bad foot and threw two picks during Week 8, when the Eagles cruised to a 40-17 victory as 1-point home dogs. They&#8217;ll be 1-point road dogs on Sunday night with a total of 44.5 points. Philadelphia WR DeSean Jackson (concussion) had a full practice on Wednesday and is expected to play; he had three catches for 78 yards and a TD in Week 8. Watch out for ice pellets at Giants Stadium as the mercury once again approaches freezing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Basketball Betting Lines &#8211; Top 25 Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. 4 Kentucky at Indiana (12:00 p.m., CBS)<br \/>\nNo. 15 Ohio State at No. 20 Butler (12:00 p.m., ESPN)<br \/>\nLa Salle at No. 1 Kansas (2:00 p.m., ESPN)<br \/>\nNo. 13 Georgetown vs. No. 16 Washington (2:00 p.m., FSN)<br \/>\nTexas State at No. 2 Texas (4:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nMarquette at No. 23 Wisconsin (5:00 p.m., ESPN2)<br \/>\nNo. 18 Texas A&amp;M at New Mexico (6:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nCoppin State at No. 7 West Virginia (7:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nKansas State at No. 17 UNLV (7:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nDavidson at No. 22 Gonzaga (7:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nPresbyterian at No. 10 North Carolina (7:30 p.m.)<br \/>\nNo. 5 Purdue at Alabama (9:00 p.m., ESPN2)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>St. Francis (N.Y.) at No. 6 Syracuse (1:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nNo. 3 Villanova at Temple (3:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nFurman at No. 24 Clemson (4:00 p.m.)<br \/>\nNo. 19 Cincinnati at Xavier (7:00 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get all your NFL odds, NFL player props &amp; NFL team props at Bodog Sportsbook!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>CLICK HERE JOIN BODOG TODAY!!!! &#8212; Enjoy sports betting with Bodog, a book you can trust!!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top football and basketball events for this weekend&#8217;s action.
