Victor Profit is this year’s sports handicappers brand most hear on the radio, replacing Jonathan Stone, Tommy Hatfield, Mike Wynn, Bobby Ventura and others from previous years.

Pro bettor Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com says that Jonathan Stone and Victor Profit are the two most persistent boiler rooms in cold calling. Is Victor Profit a Victor Prophet in handicapping? Laughs McCormick, “Absolutely not.”

As always, professional sports bettors will stick to OffshoreInsiders.com for winning football picks.

The Minnesota Twins will be looking to punch their ticket to the postseason on Tuesday night by beating the Chicago White Sox. Here’s a look in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

You won’t want to shine the spotlight too brightly on Tuesday’s college football matchup, as it’s an underwhelming affair between 1-3 Florida Atlantic and 1-3 Middle Tennessee. The Owls managed to beat UAB a few weeks ago, but they couldn’t get much going against any of Texas, Michigan State, or Minnesota. The Blue Raiders’ lone win came against Maryland, and they’ve been beaten by Troy, Kentucky, and Arkansas State.

When these Sun Belt teams met last season Florida Atlantic came away with a 27-14 home win as 2.5-point favorites. Middle Tennessee had won the previous two meetings between these teams by identical scores of 35-14 (one at home, one on the road), covering the spread twice. The Blue Raiders opened as 1.5-point favorites for Tuesday.

The White Sox managed to beat the Tigers in their makeup game on Monday, so now they’ll battle the Twins in a one-game playoff for first place in the AL Central and MLB’s final postseason berth on Tuesday. The winner of this game will move on to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, with that series getting underway Thursday afternoon.

The Twins will send Nick Blackburn (11-10, 4.15 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday, and the White Sox will counter with John Danks (11-9, 3.47 ERA). Righthander Blackburn beat the White Sox in his last outing, surrendering just two earned runs on eight hits over five innings. Lefthander Danks wasn’t as sharp in his last start, as he was knocked around for seven earned runs on seven hits over four innings of work by the Indians.

Survivor Gabon on CBS

One of the best sportsbooks for exotic odds Sportsbook.com has posted Ace Gordon as the Survivor Gabon favorite at +300. Crystal Cox and Matty Whitmore are next at +500. Dan Kay and Marcus Lehman are just a notch behind at +550.

The same bookmaker has the betting odds posted for the Amazing Race on CBS. Nick/Starr is the prohibitive favorite at +200. Andrew and Dan as well as Ken/Tina and Terenace/Sarah are +440. Personally we like Heidi Strobel.

In the past, the oddsmakers have foreseen the success of Mike Boschetti from “Last Comic Standing” and the winners of American Idol.

The Rest of the Schedule

It’s another slow day for sports on Tuesday, so your only other options are preseason hockey or whatever football games you have saved on your TiVo from the weekend.

News from the Wire

Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett has a strained oblique, and his next start won’t come any earlier than Game 3 of the ALDS against the Angels . . . Angels pitcher Joe Saunders seemed to be recovered from his kidney stone on Sunday - he tossed six scoreless innings in a win versus the Rangers . . . the Ducks have finally brought veteran winger Teemu Selanne back into the fold, signing him to a two-year contract over the weekend…Alonzo Mourning has written a book “Resilience” that is sure to make waves….perhaps not as much as LA Times blogger the photogenic Lisa Guerrero, who calls New England Patriots fans fair weather.

Political Ticker

Barack Obama maintains his lead according to the political betting odds. Bruce Elliott, an opportunist apparently is big into painting nude portraits, the latest of VPILP Sarah Palin. It can be obscene and not heard at Chicago dive bar the Old Town Ale House. He apparently is also a collector of nude photos of Janet Jackson and Britney Spears. Do we really want to see Britney Spears nude?    

A Peek at the Future

The opening game of three baseball divisional playoff series are on the schedule for Wednesday, with Milwaukee at Philadelphia, the Dodgers at the Cubs, and Boston at the Angels. The league championship series are slated to get underway on October 9 and 10, while the first game of the World Series will be October 22 . . . the WNBA Finals get underway on Wednesday night in San Antonio and continue through the weekend.

Football handicappers are going over the updated NFL power rankings for Week 5 and the sharpest are checking out the college football power rankings as well.

It’s time for the official betting preview of the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. The sportsbooks have Pittsburgh as the five-point favorite with a total of 34-34.5. Based on yards allowed per game, these are statistically the league’s top two defenses.

Because of Hurricane Ike, the Ravens had an unscheduled bye week and have played just two games, winning and covering both. This is their first road game and their toughest foe.

The Steelers are 2-1 straight up and 1-2 versus the number. This is their only home game in a five game stretch in which four-of-five are on the highway. The won and covered their only home game so far crushing Houston 38-17. Their last two games have produced a total of 16 and 21 points combined.

The Steelers defense has carried them. According to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com, they are allowing just 2.8 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 3.8, 4.9 yards per pass to 5.8 and 4.1 yards per play to 5.0.

There are several key injuries for tonight’s game. The Steelers will be without their leading rusher Willie Parker, meaning rookie first-rounder Rashard Mendenhall gets his first career start. In the past four series meetings, no Pittsburgh running back has exceeded 42 yards rushing.

Two key players will start but could be less than 100 percent: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and Ravens RB Willis McGahee.

Out for Baltimore is key defender Samari Rolle. They will start Corey Ivy or Frank Walker, two players who looked horrible in the preseason according to Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com.

The Steelers rush defense has also been great in the
series, allowing just 81.8 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry in
the last five meetings at Heinz Field. The Steelers are a stunningly
spectacular 13-0 straight up on MNF since 1992. Baltimore
meanwhile is trying to snap a six-game primetime losing streak.

If you are betting on this game, the biggest side and total are detailed on the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com 

The Ravens will be looking to run their record to 3-0 on the season on Monday night when they go to Pittsburgh to play the rival Steelers. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Baltimore is 2-0 on the year, thanks to games against struggling division rivals Cincinnati and Cleveland and an unexpected, hurricane-imposed bye in Week 2. The Ravens began the year by beating the Bengals 17-10 at home, and followed up that result by topping the Browns 28-10 at home last week. Baltimore managed to pick up an ATS win in both of those contests, while the OVER/UNDER is at 1-1 for them this year.

Pittsburgh was tagged with their first loss of the year last weekend, falling 15-6 in Philadelphia as 3.5-point underdogs. The Steelers began the campaign by thumping the Texans 38-17, and they then squeaked past the Browns 10-6 in Week 2. That puts Pittsburgh at 2-1 straight-up and 1-2 against-the-spread on the season, and only their easy victory over Houston in Week 1 has provided an OVER result for their supporters.

The Ravens and Steelers split their season series 1-1 last year, with each team winning and covering at home (in a pair of OVER results). For Monday night the oddsmakers have Pittsburgh listed as a 5-point home favorite, with the total pegged at just 34 points. Steelers RB Willie Parker will miss Monday’s game with a knee injury, leaving Rashard Mendenhall as their starter. Ravens DB Samari Rolle (shoulder/neck) is OUT as well.

Other Notable Events

There’s a single baseball game on the schedule for Monday, with Gavin Floyd (16-8, 3.91 ERA) and the White Sox hosting Freddy Garcia (1-1, 4.50 ERA) and the Tigers in a makeup contest. If Chicago manages to beat Detroit in the Monday matinee they’ll then play a one-game playoff against the Twins on Tuesday to decide the AL Central title.

As well, the New York Liberty and the Detroit Shock will play the third and deciding game of the WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night (at Eastern Michigan University). The Shock rallied to avoid elimination on Sunday afternoon, with Deanna Nolan pouring in a team-high 22 points in their 64-55 win over the Liberty in Game 2.

The betting odds say there is not clear-cut favorite. Lance Bass, Toni Braxton, Brooke Burke, Maurice Green, Cody Linley, Susan Lucci, Misty May-Treanor and Warren Sapp all have odds of between +400-500.

The Chicago Bears host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The bookmaker has Philadelphia has a three-point favorite with a total of 39 or 39.5.

The injury situation is very key for bettors and while the official NFL report comes out Friday, the fantasy football player and pointspread player knows that OffshoreInsiders.com has the truly “official” injury report if winning is your top concern.  

Of course it’s also where NCAA football bettors get their injury report. Here is the latest: Eagles QB Donovan McNabb will play, but star running back Brian Westbrook is considered questionable to doubtful.

The Bears DT Tommie Harris will be a game time decision. He is less likely to play than return man Devin Hester and WR Brandon Lloyd, both also considered game time decisions.

The Eagles are 2-1 straight up and 3-0 to the number. Chicago is 1-2 straight up and 1-1-1 versus the Vegas NFL line. Each team has gone under the total two of their three games.

Chicago defense is allowing just 69 yards rushing per game on 21 carries and they are holding foes a full yard below their normal yards per carry average.

Even with Brian Westbrook, the Eagles are getting just 3.2 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.2, but 7.6 yards per pass against teams normally allowing 6.7. Defensively, they allow a mere 2.4 yards per carry to teams normally getting 4.1.

Fantasy football injuries are perfect for making NFL expert picks against the spread and we have the ultimate NFL injury report.

Chargers-Raiders

Darren McFadden, the Raiders rookie sensation RB is questionable with a toe injury, but Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com says he will start. He will not get his full workload though. This is key because fellow RB Justin Fargas is out. Michael Bush is the only other tailback.

Oakland is going to be short-handed on defense as starters Nnamdi Asomugha, Derrick Burgess, and Gerald Warren are all banged up. The Bolts LaDainian Tomlinson is close to 100 percent, but remember he is off a short week because of playing Monday night to the Jets.

Eagles-Bears

There are a ton of injuries for tonight. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb will play, but star running back Brian Westbrook is considered questionable to doubtful.

The Bears DT Tommie Harris will be a game time decision. He is less likely to play than return man Devin Hester and WR Brandon Lloyd, both also considered game time decisions.

Cardinals-Jets

Jets QB Brett Favre is listed as questionable but will start. CB Justin Miller missed the first three games for the Jets but is a game time decision to return.

Texans-Jaguars

The Jags will likely be without two defensive starters, S Reggie Nelson and LB Justin Durant. Also out C Brad Meester and G Crhis Naeole.

RBs Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor are probable and WR Jerry Porter will make his much anticipated debut. Washed up RB Ahman Green may be available but rookie Steve Slaton gets the start for the Texans.

Bills-Rams

The Rams will have to avoid sundry distractions and head coach Scott Linehan attempting to save his job, benched QB Marc Bulger and will start aged Trent Green. Star RB Steven Jackson expressed discontent at the move. Jackson, by the way, should be at full-speed for the first time all year.

Packers-Buccaneers

The Packers are without one of their most valuable defensive players CB Al Harris. “Considering he played 83 straight games, it would be foolish to underestimate the impact of this injury,” says the world’s top NFL betting expert Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com.

They will also be without S Atari Bigby. However RB Ryan Grant will be as healthy as he has been any game this season.

Vikings-Titans

Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson is listed on the injury report, but NFL insider Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says he will play.

Browns-Bengals

Here are some football betting news and notes from the world-champion sports handicappers at OffshoreInsiders.

Maryland-Clemson

Since Ralph Friedgen took over as coach at Maryland, they have won 2-of-3 straight up at Death Valley. That included a huge GodsTips moneyline winner +1800 last trip. Clemson has won three straight games by a combined 126-26, but two were to Subdivision squads.

According to Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com, the top football handicapper of all time, the big mismatch is Maryland’s experiences defensive line going against Clemson’s patchwork offensive line.

Kent State-Ball State

The Cardinals are 0-4 but this is their first game without star WR Dante Love, whose career is likely over.

TCU-Oklahoma

The Sooners have a 20-game home winning streak, but TCU stunned Oklahoma in their last trip to Norman. They are also 11-2 their last 12 to BCS conference teams. In fact, the Mountain West is 7-3 straight up to the BCS conferences this season.

Oklahoma is the highest scoring team in the country at 54.6 points per game.

Wisconsin-Michigan

Michigan is a big home underdog even though the last time they lost their Big 10 opener in Ann Arbor was 1966. Is it a trap game for the Badgers? They have home games the next two weeks against Ohio State and Penn State.

Arkansas-Texas

Texas won their first three games by a combined 146-33 with Colton McCoy tossing 11 touchdowns. Arkansas is 2-1 but struggled in both of their wins to Western Illinois and Louisiana Monroe.

Penn State-Ohio State

Penn State has averaged 52.8 points per game in their 4-0 straight up start but gets their biggest test in the conference opener for both teams. The Illini won last year against the Nittany Lions and are off a bye week.

Baseball’s pennant races and a Big East matchup on the gridiron highlight the Friday night schedule, with some WNBA playoffs as well. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Connecticut has done nothing but win so far this season, rolling past Hofstra, Temple, Virginia, and Baylor to a 4-0 record. That doesn’t mean the Huskies have been profitable, however, as they’re just 1-2 ATS in games that have received lines. Louisville lost their opener 27-2 to Kentucky, then knocked off Tennessee Tech and Kansas State to get to 2-1 on the season. The Cardinals are 1-1 against-the-spread in those games.

The Huskies have the 4-0 record, but the oddsmakers are going with Louisville at home in this game. The Cardinals are listed as 3.5-point favorites, with the total at 50 points. 

Other Notable Events

A Peek at the Future

We have the official betting preview of Connecticut and Louisville. The sportsbooks have Louisville a 3.5 point favorite with a total of 51.5. Connecticut is 4-0 straight up, but just 1-2 against the spread going over 2-of-3. The Cardinals are 2-1 straight up and 1-1 to the Vegas betting odds.

The Huskies have been very successful on offense getting 5.8 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.7. Their defensive numbers are average, allowing 4.5 yards per play to teams normally getting 4.6.

That describes the Louisville offense: average. They get 5.4 yards per play to teams allowing that same amount. This is not your Petrino’s Cardinals. Their strength is on defense, allowing 1.9 yards per rush to teams normally getting 3.8 and 5.7 yards per pass to teams normally getting 6.1. That comes out to giving up 4.2 yards per play against teams normally allowing 5.1.

For those who bet college football quarter lines, note that Louisville fades late. They’ve allowed 27 points combined in the first three quarters, but 39 in the final quarter.

Keep in mind that this is only the Huskies second road game of the year, while Louisville has yet to play a road contest making this their fourth straight home game.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says the key for Louisville is to be more careful with the ball. Their signal caller Tyler Lorenzen has already thrown six interceptions.

Who should one bet? The founder of the revolutionary science of forensic sports handicapping Stevie Vincent is absolutely unloading on this game. It’s his Friday Night Big East Game of Two Centuries.

As far as Vegas betting trends are concerned, all records are against the spread: Louisville is 9-1 at home to opponents who average more than 200 rushing yards per game. They are 18-6 on the road after two straight nonconference games. The Cardinals are 20-8 after getting more than 200 yards rushing last game.

UConn is 8-2 on grass.

The SMU Mustangs take on the Tulane Green Wave. We have already given you the official college football handicapping preview of USC and Oregon State, now it’s the Southern Methodist and Tulane preview.

The sportsbooks have Tulane as an 18 to 18.5 point favorite with the total a solid 49 across the board.

SMU enters 1-3 straight up and 0-2 versus the Vegas spread. Tulane is 1-2 straight up, but has covered all three games.

The Mustangs are playing their third road game in a six game stretch in which four are away from home. Conversely, Tulane is in the third of a four-game home stand.

The top football handicapper in the world, Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com says that Tulane FB Kasey Stelly is one of the more underrated players in the country to the football betting experts. He is a tremendous blocker and his insertion into the starting lineup last week was big for the ball control aspect according to Godsey and his enormous contacts.

This could prove fatal for a Mustangs’ defense which is ranked 116^th nationally. Since SMU joined C-USA, the road team has won outright all three times.

However, as Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy preaches time in and time out, rankings can be a bit deceptive for the sports bettor. SMU’s defense is bad, but the raw numbers are indicative of pace, not competence. They allow 5.4 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.8, 8.1 yards per pass to 7.4 and 6.7 yards per play to 6.1.

Tulane’s defense has been wonderful, allowing 2.6 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.5 and 4.3 yards per play to 5.5. Duffy says a +1.2 ratio is excellent, though it’s early in the year and stats can only be so accurate.

The No. 1 USC Trojans will be looking to hold on to that lofty ranking on Thursday night when they go to Oregon State to battle the Beavers. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Trojans are coming off a convincing 35-3 win over Ohio State which solidified their No. 1 ranking. USC quarterback Mark Sanchez went 17-of-28 for 172 yards passing in that contest, with four TD strikes and one interception. Oregon State is coming off a 45-7 win over Hawaii, but that was their first victory in three attempts this season. Lyle Moevao threw for 268 yards and three scores for the Beavers against the Warriors.

The oddsmakers don’t expect the Trojans/Beavers matchup to be close; USC has been pegged as a 25.5-point favorite. The other game on the college football docket for Thursday is expected to be a bit tighter, as Tulane is favored by 18 points versus SMU.

Top ranked USC travels to Oregon State as the Trojans invade the Beavers. Sportsbooks have the Trojans as a 25-point road favorite and a total of 51.5-52.

USC is 2-0 straight up and against the spread. Oregon State is 1-2 straight up and against the spread but the home team has won and covered all three of their games this year.

Oregon State is averaging 3.6 yards per rush, 7.0 passing yards per attempt and 5.5 yards per play. Defensively they allow just 5.8 yards per pass and 5.2 yards per play.

Of course those numbers don’t compare to Southern Cal, which gets 7.8 yards per pass on 6.5 yards per play. They allow a miniscule 1.9 yards per rush, 4.5 passing yards per attempt and 3.3 yards per play.

“One of the first things a handicapper must evaluate when there is such a large pointspread, is the motivational factors of each team,” says Mike Godsey, the world’s top football handicapper and part of the Dream Team at GodsTips, the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com   

Certainly the Trojans can find motivation in what happened in their last trip to Corvallis. OSU snapped USC’s 38-game winning streak. In fact, Oregon State has won 2-of-3 outright at home in the series, though USC has a 58-9-1 all-time head-to-head advantage.

Godsey, who watches a great deal of game film says that Oregon State is showing some upside on offense. QB Lyle Moevao leads the Beavers to the No. 1 spot in the Pac-10 in passing offense at 307.3 yards per game.

USC will be without CB Shareece Wright with a hairline vertebra fracture.  Also All-American LB Brian Cushing is suffering from sundry injuries, the latest a hamstring strain suffered Tuesday. He is questionable.

The power of 620 sports services behind every selection has a humungous play on this game. Mark the Shark, the top handicapper west of the Mississippi hits 60-65 % of his Game/Total of the Month or higher plays.  He is without question the top Pac 10 and Mountain West tipster in America.

He’s been offered nearly seven figures per year to join a famed Las Vegas sports handicapping marketing giant, but has spurned offers because they demanded marketing concessions that would negatively affect his modules. He’s hit 17-of-21 Pac-10 Games of the Week in college basketball and football combined. Pac-10 Game of the Week goes on USC-Oregon State.

Here are some betting trends, all against the spread: Oregon State is 0-6 off home win of 17 or more points. However, they are also 12-3 at home off a home win. The Beavers don’t like to see you in September as they are only 2-11 in the ninth month.

USC is 7-1 following a bye week and 32-15 after allowing less than 100 rushing yards last game.

The National Football League rolls out its third week of action on Sunday, with marquee games in Philadelphia and Green Bay. Here’s a look in today’s Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Eagles lost a tough game against the Cowboys in Week 2, so they’ll try to bounce back this week by knocking their state rivals from Pittsburgh for a loss. The Eagles and Steelers will clash at 4:15pm ET at Lincoln Financial Field, with Philly pegged as a 3.5-point home favorite (and the total at 45). Despite their loss last week the Eagles are still 2-0 ATS on the season, while unbeaten Pittsburgh is just 1-1 ATS over two contests.

The Cowboys aim to follow up their win over Philadelphia with another victory against a big-time NFC team - the Packers. Aaron Rodgers and company will play host to Tony Romo and the ‘Boys starting at 8:15pm ET at Lambeau Field on Sunday night, with Dallas listed as a 3-point road favorite. Both the Cowboys and Packers are 2-0 to start the season, with Green Bay covering twice, and Dallas only covering in one victory.

DÉJÀ VU; 9-1 LAST SUNDAY NFL; 10 WINNERS THIS WEEK INCLUDES WISE GUY; 7-1 WG NFL REGULAR SEASON

It is déjà vu? The football betting specialists at GodsTips went 9-1 last Sunday in the NFL and are 7-1 this season with Wise Guy NFL plays. Get the card for $17. You get all of Click now to purchase

NFL

Seattle-St. Louis UNDER 44

St. Louis has averaged less than 14 points per game in their last six. Seattle would have had a good offense, but the unit they are putting on the field is horrible. I could start at wideout for Seattle.

They already lost six receivers due to injury, including Nate Burleson, Ben Obomanu and Logan Payne for the season. Veterans Deion Branch and Bobby Engram have yet to play, and are not expected to return until after the bye week later this month. Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace - pressed into service as a receiver - will miss the next month after injuring his calf last week during pre-game warmups.

Of all units in the NFL, the one that is clearly better than their stats is Seattle’s defense, which features 11 returning starters and four Pro Bowlers. Of course, yes our Golden Rule applies how amazing it is when allegedly great defenses turn out to not be so good when they are on the field.

However, the Rams don’t have the talent to exploit that and in fact with Steven Jackson now rid of the rust, we look for the Rams to go full ball control.

Fantasy football players and football bettors alike don’t make a move until they read this NFL injury report from the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com

Early games

Panthers-Vikings

Adrian Peterson, the superstar running back of the Vikings is considered a game time decision with a hamstring injury. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says his staff will monitor ESPN television and radio, the Panthers and Vikings pre-game shows and sundry other sources and update anything new as it comes in on said site.

Ancient QB Gus Frerotte takes over for incompetent Tarvaris Jackson for the Vikings. Vikings WR Sidney Rice is questionable.

Buccaneers-Bears

Chicago’s return man extraordinaire Devin Hester is probable but may not be 100 percent. Everyone knows that GodsTips is the top football betting picks service in America. They have 10 winners for Sunday including a Wise Guy.

It is déjà vu? The football betting specialists at GodsTips went 9-1 last Sunday in the NFL and are 7-1 this season with Wise Guy NFL plays. Get the card for $17. Click now to purchase

Texans-Titans

With always injured Ahman Green out for Houston, the Texans will start rookie Steve Slaton at RB. Remember, Hurricane Ike postponed the Texans game last week, but in their only game so far Slaton got 43 yards on 13 carries and also caught three passes.

The rookie goes up against a defense allowing just 60.5 rushing yards per game. Tennessee WR Justin Gage is a game time decision and is considered doubtful.

Raiders-Bills

Rookie RB Darren McFadden is expected to play with a toe injury. With Justin Fargas out, he will be counted in more than in the first two games.

Late games

Browns-Ravens

Browns WR Braylon Edwards is questionable. Edwards already has five drops in two games. Also for Cleveland, OG Eric Steinbach and LB Willie McGinest are doubtful. WR Donte Stallworth, who has yet to make his Browns debut because of a quadriceps injury, is questionable.

Steelers-Eagles

Two-time Pro Bowl G Shawn Andrews is doubtful for the Eagles. WR Reggie Brown is probable after missing the first two games. However, he may not start.

Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers QB, starts despite various shoulder issues. Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that injury is ever the more reason to expect the conservative approach of the Bill Cowher days are back and here to stay.

Jaguars-Colts

Jacksonville WR Jerry Porter is doubtful. Acquired in the offseason to be their big play option, Porter has yet to play for Jacksonville. They will also be minus LB Justin Durant, WR Troy Williamson, C Brad Meester, and G Chris Naeole.

However RBs Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, as well as S Brian Williams will play. Indianapolis is without CB Bob Sanders, considered by many to be their most valuable player on defense.

Night

Cowboys-Packers

The Packers will enter pretty healthy as RB Ryan Grant and CB Charles Woodson are probable. Only S Atari Bigby is likely to miss this game for the Pack.

The Connecticut Huskies host the Baylor Bears and OffshoreInsiders.com has the official preview for sports betting and college football spread picks. Sportsbooks have UConn as a 12-point favorite and a total of 51.

Each team is 1-1 against the spread with both playing a non-lined game. This is Baylor’s first road game, but no look-ahead as they have a bye next week. After getting smashed by Wake Forest in week 1, they disposed of Northwestern State and Washington State by combined 96-23.

Connecticut is 3-0 including a win at rebuilt Temple and by 35 to Virginia. They are averaging 40 points in two home games, while allowing 7.3.

The Huskies are led by eight returning starters on defense from last year’s Big East title. Baylor has been buoyed by Robert Griffin entering the line-up at QB, but it’s an understatement to say this is his biggest test in his young career so far. He rushed for 217 yards and threw for 129 to Washington State.

Connecticut is also led by a Young Turk in Donald Brown II. He rushed for 206 yards and caught five passes against Virginia. He has rushed for more than 800 yards in his first two seasons, but Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com has close contact with several NFL draft gurus who tell him this appears to be Brown’s breakout year.

Baylor winning on the moneyline at BetUs Sportsbook would be a huge upset. Connecticut has won nine straight home games, while Baylor has one road win the last two years. The UConn Huskies margin of victory in the nine games is 20.8 points per game.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that Baylor QB Griffin is similar to South Florida’s Matt Grothe and West Virginia’s Pat White, so the Huskies experienced defense is not entering uncharted waters.

Who should bettors go with? There is a big MasterLockLine Exclusive and bettors can get the top sports handicapper’s side and the top sports service total on tonight’s game for just one $16 charge. The Dutchman is a former professional tout who in 1996 retired to a Hawaiian getaway.

Here are some spread records, all against the spread. Baylor is 5-0 off straight up win of 20 or more points and 9-2 after allowing less than 20 points last game. On the other hand, they are 9-24 off spread wins and 3-14 against teams with a winning record.

The Huskies are 28-12 outside the Big East, but 2-9 after getting more than 200 yards rushing last game. They have dropped four straight against teams with a winning record.

The Bears have exceeded the total in 8-of-10 road games while the Huskies have gone under the sportsbook total 7-1 off a win of 20 or more.

From the football betting specialist at GodsTips: With Louisville as our only Wise Guy plays this week, we are already ahead in winning week number 7-of-8 in football.

It’s time for the official bettor’s preview of tonight’s West Virginia and Colorado battle. Sportsbooks have West Virginia a three-point favorite with a total of 56.5.

The road favorite West Virginia can certainly be beaten. East Carolina held Heisman candidate QB Pat White to 72 yards passing and 97 rushing.

While Colorado is 2-0 straight up, they needed a late pick six to defeat Eastern Washington 31-24. West Virginia is allowing 392.5 yards per game. However, they will get back a key player tonight, MLB Reed Williams. How good is he? He was last year’s leading tackler and MVP in the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.

WR Wes Lyons will also likely play for the Mountaineers. West Virginia will face their toughest test defensively against the pass says ScoresOddsPicks.com’s Brian Gould.

Who has the big plays for football betting? GodsTips, the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com, yet again starts out the week with a winner. Louisville was a Wise Guy. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact. 

GodsTips says: All we do is win. We have yet another winner up tonight on West Virginia-Colorado. A Wise Guy on Louisville means we are 26-13 with football Wise Guy plays this year after dominating like a banshee last season. Click now to purchase

Now let’s take a peak at some betting trends, all against the spread: West Virginia is 26-11 if they gained 125 or less passing yards last game and 5-1 off ATS loss.

Colorado is 13-27 after allowing 75 or less rushing yards last game and 7-19 if they allowed more than 280 yards passing last game.

As far as over/under NCAA trends, West Virginia has exceeded the posted total at a 13-3 rate off a loss of 20 or more. They’ve gone under 19-7 on the road versus teams with a winning home record.

The Buffalos have gone over five straight after allowing more than 280 yards passing last game, but under 10-2 outside the conference.

Other Notable Events

The Brewers (minus Ned Yost) will continue their series in Chicago on Wednesday, and they’ll send Ben Sheets (13-8, 2.97 ERA) to the mound. Sheets was knocked around for five earned runs over six innings by the Phillies in his last outing, and he was beaten by the Cubs back on July 29. Jason Marquis (10-8, 4.36 ERA) will get the ball for Chicago; he is coming off a win over the Reds in which he gave up two runs in 7 1-3 innings.

It’ll be Tim Wakefield (9-10, 3.92 ERA) taking on Matt Garza (11-9, 3.60 ERA) when the Red Sox and Rays play in Tampa Bay again on Wednesday. Wakefield blanked the Blue Jays over eight innings in his most recent trip to the mound, giving up just three hits. Garza settled for a no-decision versus the Yankees last time out, allowing three earned runs on six hits over his five innings of work in that contest.

The Rest of the Schedule

Rounding out the AL slate for Wednesday: Minnesota at Cleveland, the White Sox at the Yankees, Baltimore at Toronto, Detroit at Texas, Seattle at Kansas City, and the Angels at Oakland.

Diamondbacks starter Brandon Webb (20-7, 3.28 ERA) finally won his 20^th game last time out, throwing eight scoreless innings.

As everyone at OffshoreInsiders.com is trying to figure out what politically incorrect statement Tony Kornheiser has to apologize for—yet doesn’t have to apologize for bringing up Andy Reid’s sons legal problems—we will take a look at Tuesday information to beat the sportsbooks.

The books though are telling us that many sharpies exploited the fantasy football betting odds on proposition bets involving Donovan McNabb, Desean Jackson, Terrell Owens—basically everyone but Jerry Jones and the ghost of Leon Lett’s Super Bowl blunder fumble.

The Red Sox and Rays continue their series in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, while NFL bettors start to pour over all of the lines for Week 3. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

Yost Fired

Surely BetUs Sportsbook will later today post odds on who will be the next manager fired after Ned Yost was let go today.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Matt Cassel didn’t blow up as the Patriots’ starting quarterback in Week 2, as he was able to guide his team to a road win over the Jets. That has given the oddsmakers a little more confidence in New England for Week 3, as they opened as 13-point home favorites against the Dolphins. Also opening as big favorites were the Giants (-13) vs. the Bengals, the Seahawks (-9) vs. the Rams, and the Bills (-9) vs. the Raiders.

Other Notable Events

Josh Beckett (12-9, 4.10 ERA) will get the ball for the Red Sox on Tuesday night, while Andy Sonnanstine (13-7, 4.47 ERA) starts for the Rays. Beckett has given up just one earned run on 10 hits over his last 11 innings of work, and he held the Rays to one earned run over six innings last time out. Sonnanstine held the Red Sox to one unearned run on four hits over seven innings in his start against them September 10.

The other big matchup on the diamond on Tuesday night sees the Cubs playing host to the Brewers. Milwaukee is still reeling from a sweep at the hands of the Wild-Card rival Phillies over the weekend, and they desperately need to right the ship this week. C.C. Sabathia (9-0, 1.59 ERA in the NL) will get the ball for the Brewers in the series opener on Tuesday night. Ryan Dempster (15-6, 3.02 ERA) will take the hill for the Cubs.

The Rest of the Schedule

Other games around the National League on Tuesday include the Dodgers at Pittsburgh, Houston at Florida, the Mets at Washington, St. Louis at Cincinnati, Philadelphia at Atlanta, San Diego at Colorado, and San Francisco at Arizona. The red-hot Roy Oswalt (one earned run over his last four starts) gets the ball for the Astros.

Rounding out Tuesday’s American League schedule: Minnesota at Cleveland, the White Sox at the Yankees, Baltimore at Toronto, Detroit at Texas, Seattle at Kansas City, and the Angels at Oakland.

Fantasy football players may not yet be raking in as much money as those who bet on the games. From the sharp player’s standpoint, NFL betting has been as profitable as ever. However, Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com is one of the top fantasy football experts in the world and says the sharpest players are salivating over tonight’s fantasy football betting odds.

Stevie Vincent, founder of forensic sports handicapping says he is making his personal largest wager ever for a regular season proposition bet on who will score a touchdown first, Brian Westbrook or Marion Barber?

He is going with Westbrook +125. Vincent says that Dallas has so many weapons, while Westbrook is Donovan McNabb’s biggest. Especially since he’s a veteran on the road, McNabb will look to his old reliable early.

Another interesting bet on the underdog is who will have more sacks, Trent Cole at +175 or Demarcus Ware at -225. While Ware is the better player, Philadelphia will blitz on every play. They will come after Romo early and often.

Bettors can also predict who will score the first touchdown. In addition to the offensive weapons above, Lorenzo Booker, DeSean Jackson, Hank Baskett, Greg Lewis, L.J. Smith, Reggie Brown, Felix Jones, Terrell Owens, Patrick Crayton, and Jason Whitten all have numbers attached to their probability of being the first into the end zone.

Of course, there are other Terrell Owens prop bets such as will he score a touchdown, with yes being -160.

You already bet GodsTips side and total at your favorite sportsbook, not unload on the proposition bets at BetUs Sportsbook or NewBodog.

Here is the official betting preview of the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. For halftime bettors, note that Donovan McNabb has played much better in the second half of games against Dallas. The first half line has Dallas -4 with a total of 23.5.

McNabb has completed 55.8 percent of his passes in his last six games to the Pokes, but his 6.27 yards per pass attempt is not all that impressive. Each team added a prime time player to their secondary in the offseason. Dallas got Pacman Jones, now known as Adam Jones, while Philadelphia added former New England Patriots star Asante Samuel.

The NFL betting line for the game is Dallas -7 and an over/under of 47.

Philadelphia has been red hot winning eight straight going back to last year. The average margin of victory is 15.5 points per game and Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com believes it is attributable to Donovan McNabb’s recovery from knee surgery.  

Cowboy starting quarterback Tony Romo is 20-7 straight up since taking over for Drew Bledsoe. However, the last two home games in the series sees Romo with just a 32.6 QB rating leading Dallas to a combined 13 points.

Philadelphia is without last year’s leading receiver Kevin Curtis and their No. 2 guy Reggie Brown is a true game time decision according to Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com.

Who should you bet on? Why can’t all decisions be this easy with the side and total?

Here are against the spread betting trends: Philadelphia is 10-2 as an underdog including 8-1 as road underdogs. The Eagles are also 10-1 after getting 350 or more total yards previous game. Despite all the good number, the Cheesesteaks are 1-10 after getting more than 250 passing yards last game.

Dallas is 5-17 following a game in which they had 34 or more minutes of possession and at least 24 first downs.  On the other hand, they are 22-10 at home after allowing 150 or less passing yards last game. Dallas is 0-5 inside the conference.

The big matchup on Monday will take place in Dallas, where the Eagles and Cowboys will clash in the NFL’s primetime contest. Here’s a peek in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Eagles were the only NFC East team to miss the playoffs last season, but they served notice about a resurgence when they slapped the Rams 38-3 in Week 1. Philly, though, will get a much tougher test on Monday night when they battle the Cowboys.

Dallas beat Cleveland 28-10 on the road in Week 1, and even though they flamed out in the playoffs last season they’re still the favorites to win the NFC this year. And the oddsmakers like the Cowboys’ chances of tagging the Eagles with a loss on Monday night, as they’ve been listed as 6.5-point home favorites (with the total at 46.5 points).

The Cowboys, though, will be specifically looking to avoid a repeat of last year’s matchup with the Eagles in Dallas. Tony Romo and company fell 10-6 to Philadelphia in that game, despite the fact that they were listed as big 10-point home favorites. Overall Dallas and Philadelphia are tied with five ATS wins apiece over their last 10 meetings.

Other Notable Events

If the Red Sox are going to overtake the Rays in the AL East race they’re going to have to take advantage of the three-game series that the teams will play starting on Monday night. Boston will send Daisuke Matsuzaka (16-2, 2.97 ERA) to the mound on the road in the series opener on Monday, and he’ll face Tampa’s Scott Kazmir (11-6, 2.99 ERA).

The Rest of the Schedule

There are four other games on the American League schedule for Monday: Minnesota at Cleveland, the White Sox at the Yankees, Detroit at Texas, and Seattle at Kansas City. Chicago and Minnesota are jockeying for position atop the AL Central standings.

Over in the National League on Monday it’s the Dodgers at Pittsburgh, the Mets at Washington, San Diego at Colorado, San Francisco at Arizona, and the Cubs vs. Houston. That Cubs/Astros game will be played in Milwaukee, thanks to Hurricane Ike.

Finally, the Monarchs and the Comets will play a WNBA makeup game in Houston on Monday to close out the league’s regular season. The playoffs will begin on Thursday.

I read an Associated Press story which said there was suspense who would play Sarah Palin in Saturday Night Live. Are you kidding? I wish there were Hollywood betting odds on that one. What a shock, it was Tina Fey.

Only dopey photographer Jill Greenberg could have gotten that one wrong.

We already broke down the early card for fantasy football and football betting, now let’s take a look at the late card.

Patriots-Jets

New England has a 20-game winning streak on the line, but this will be the first without Tom Brady as starter. Matt Cassel makes his starting debut. The Jets though are 7-9 straight up at home and have lost seven straight at the Meadowlands to the Patriots by a combined 198-98.

“Big Red” is a major figure and pioneer in offshore betting. He has unique access to professional oddsmakers and gamblers. All his bets are based on consulting with elite handicappers, pro bettors and linesmakers. He is not a handicapper but speaks with the elite few. As a founder of offshore betting, he still has contacts with the most powerful island and land based sportsbooks. He says most of the expert opinions agree on whether or not the oddsmakers are overreacting to Tom Brady’s injury or if his loss will be immeasurable.

He has one that rises to the level of a Special Release on the Pats/Jets side. Click now to purchase on the world famous LateInfo line.

49ers-Seahawks

The 49ers are averaging just 13.6 points per game since the beginning of last year, easily the worst in the league. Over their last six games, San Francisco is -12 in the turnover department. Seattle won both games by a combined 47-3.

Seattle is minus several weapons Deion Branch, Bobby Engram and Nate Burleson. Counting the playoffs, Seattle has won 24-of-28 straight up at home.

Falcons-Buccaneers

This is one of two 4:00 EST Wise Guy plays from the top NFL handicapper in the world. Laying eight, Western Michigan wins by 22 as the Non-BCS Nonconference Game of the Year. GodsTips is 7-3 in football Saturday, 25-13 the last two week and it looks like winning week 6-of-7 is assumed. This incredible record is despite some heart-breaking losses.

Tampa enters on a three-game losing streak going back to last year, with the four losses by a combined 14 points. Tampa was 6-2 at home straight up last year. They averaged 23.4 points per game at home and 18.4 on the road.

Dolphins-Cardinals

Miami is 1-19 their last 20 straight up on the highway. This includes 10 straight road losses. Arizona has won 6-of-9 straight up with Kurt Warner behind the center.

Since Week 10 of last year, only New England is scoring more points per game as the Redbirds average 30 points per game. Arizona has scored 20 points or more in nine straight games.

Miami is averaging just 67.8 yards per game rushing the last eight contests.

Chargers-Broncos

Can San Diego recover from last week’s heartbreaking loss to Carolina? The Chargers swept the series the last two years by a combined 147-53.

Sunday’s are made for beating the Las Vegas spread and check out all the NFL betting odds. In order to beat the NFL, we turn to the top source of football picks against the spread, GodsTips.

They say take the points and bet on San Francisco 49ers plus the seven against the Seattle Seahawks. Sportsbooks have the Niners getting seven points.

Seven is available most places, though some places you have to play a little juice. At 6.5 or less, it’s a Major.

Seattle is banged up. The position that has been hit the hardest is wide receiver, where the team currently is operating without its top four pass catchers — Bobby Engram, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson and Ben Obomanu.

With Engram (broken shoulder bone) and Branch (knee) widely expected to be unavailable until after the Week Four bye week (although we hear Branch could be a Week Three long shot), and both Burleson and Obomanu suffering season-ending injuries, the team is trying to get by with a real hodgepodge, consisting primarily of Courtney Taylor, Logan Payne and newcomers Billy McMullen and Samie Parker.

At running back, meanwhile, team sources tell us Maurice Morris will miss at least two games with a knee injury suffered in Week One, which means newcomer Julius Jones will be the workhorse (“He’s the guy,” the insider said. “Everybody else is purely situational.”).

If all this wasn’t bad enough, the Seahawks also have lost starting ORG Rob Sims for the season with a torn pectoral muscle suffered against the Bills in Week One.
Sims, who was getting overpowered by Bills DT Marcus Stroud before going down for the count, will be replaced by Floyd “Pork Chop” Womack, who has had big problems staying healthy throughout his eight-year career in Seattle.

And Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Trufant will face the 49ers with a cast on his left hand because of a cracked bone.

Three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck looked rusty against the Bills after missing most of the preseason with a back injury. He completed one of his first eight passes and finished 17-for-41 for 190 yards.

Frank Gore dominates Seattle, averaging 126.4 yards per game rushing in his last four to them.

Laying eight, Western Michigan wins by 22 as the Non-BCS Nonconference Game of the Year. GodsTips is 7-3 in football Saturday, 25-13 the last two week and it looks like winning week 6-of-7 is assumed. This despite some heart-breaking losses.

The staff of the top NFL picks site OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at sports betting and fantasy football news and notes for the NFL early card on Sunday.

Giants-Rams

The Giants have won 10 straight road games. They have won the last three in the series. Going back to last year, the Rams have lost five straight games by an average of 21.8 points per game.

Saints-Redskins

The Skins were 5-3 straight up at home last year, but that includes consecutive blowout wins. The Saints though will be without key WR Marques Colston. Jeremy Shockey had six catches in his Saints debut.

Where do we go for football picks against the spread? Laying eight, Western Michigan wins by 22 as the Non-BCS Nonconference Game of the Year. With one west coast game pending, GodsTips is 7-2 in football Saturday, 25-12 the last two week and it looks like winning week 6-of-7 is assumed.

Bears-Panthers

The Bears could be in a letdown situation, playing their second straight road game, but especially being off a big win at Indianapolis. Of course, the Panthers are off a big upset themselves, stunning the San Diego Chargers on the last play of the game.

The Panthers have lost four straight home openers and went 2-6 in North Carolina last year. Quietly Chicago starting QB Kyle Orton is 13-6 in his career.

Raiders-Chiefs

Going back to last season, the Raiders have allowed 30 or more points four times in five games. That includes last week’s abomination losing to Denver 41-14. Although Oakland was 2-6 on the highway last year, one of the wins was at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs have lost 10 consecutive games. They start Damon Huard in place of injured Brodie Croyle. He’s 9-9 all-time as a starter, but 2-0 to Oakland.

Colts-Vikings

The Colts loss last week snapped a 21-game winning streak straight up on the first two months of the year. Minnesota has lost three straight games with Tarvaris Jackson at QB, though they are a respectable 5-2 at home with him.

Titans-Bengals

Kerry Collins takes over for Vince Young at QB this week for the Titans. Tennessee also is dealing with distractions about rumors of Young’s depression. Bengals signal caller Carson Palmer is trying to rebound from a game last week in which he didn’t even throw for 100 yards.

Going back to last year, the Titans have won four straight holding each foe to less than 17 points. Cincinnati has won the last two in the series.

Packers-Lions

Green Bay is facing a short week having won on Monday Night Football. Detroit is off a disheartening 13-point loss to the Atlanta Falcons, considered by many one of the worst teams in the NFL. They allowed 318 yards rushing most to career backup Michael Turner.

Detroit has actually won 4-of-5 home openers straight up.

Buffalo-Jaguars

A surprise to some, the Bills are off a win and the Jags off a loss. Once considered mistake free, Jacksonville QB David Garrard was picked off twice last week. He threw zero interceptions through his first game last year, but now has been picked off five times in four games. Even worse for him, both starting guards are out of the year. Vince Manuwai and Mo Williams both were hurt in last week’s 17-10 loss to Tennessee.

The staff of OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at sports betting news and notes of interest to those who want to beat the sportsbooks.

Wisconsin-Fresno State

This is the homecoming game for FSU and the first road game for the Badgers. Intangibles handicappers will note this will be the highest ranked team to ever play at Bulldog Stadium, matching 10^th ranked Oregon State in 2001.

Fresno is a sensational 24-3 straight up in home openers at Bulldog Stadium including nine straight winners. While Fresno is already off a bye week, Wisconsin is 2-0 averaging 44.5 points per game, while allowing just 72.5 rushing yards per game and 2.8 yards per carry.

This game is one of GodsTips Wise Guy plays for Saturday. As this report is filed, the Friday results are pending, but the Center of the Handicapping Universe enters 18-8 the last two weeks in football and has had winning weeks 5-of-6 on the gridiron including preseason. Get at least 10 NCAA football picks against the spread from the top football handicapping service in the world GodsTips Click now to purchase

Temple-Buffalo

The Owls entered the year with high hopes and are 1-1 with the only loss in OT to Connecticut. Buffalo is also 1-1 and entered the year with high hopes returning 18 starters. Buffalo is 11-1 all-time in the series.

Utah-Utah State

Cy McCormick of power of 620 sports services behind every selection MasterLockLine, warns this is a big letdown situation for Utah. “In week 1 they picked up one of their biggest wins ever (at Michigan) and last week played in front of their third largest home crowd ever,” warns the handicapping veteran.

However, it is a rivalry game for the big home underdogs. The Utes have big injuries losing their starting nose tackles in consecutive weeks Kenape Eliapo and Lei Talamaivao.

Bowling Green-Boise State

Nobody can accuse Bowling Green of taking it easy as the Falcons defeated then-ranked Pittsburgh, but lost at Minnesota. Denny Mack of Lines-Maker.com says top Las Vegas punters look at deceptive scores and Minnesota’s defeat of the Falcons was just that.

While the Golden Gophers won 42-17, it was 21-17 at the start of the frame. Bowling Green lost the yardage battle by just eight total yards. 

Also note that Stevie Vincent, the founder of the groundbreaking forensic sports handicapping has his Mid-American Game of the Year going. His less is more philosophy has paid humungous dividends with the highest career football winning percentage of any football bettor ever. He has “only” two personal bets Saturday, but they both win for just $40. Click now to purchase Stevie Vincent’s Saturday card.

UAB-Tennessee

For those looking for a moneyline upset, don’t expect to beat the sportsbooks here. The Volunteers are 46-2 all-time to current members of Conference USA. None of the losses were at home.

Virginia-Connecticut

Virginia quarterback Peter Lalich, who started the first two games, is not making the trip because of underage drinking issues.

Michigan-Notre Dame

While the Irish have won 3-of-4 straight up in the series, the exception was last year when the Wolverines demolished the Irish 38-0.

Here is the official betting previews for the Friday night card, Kansas-South Florida and Washington State-Baylor, which was moved up because of impending Hurricane Ike.

Kansas-South Florida

The Big East is just 3-8 against FBS teams and 0-4 to BCS conference squads by an average loss of almost four touchdowns per game. According to Cy McCormick, head of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com, the defenses have an advantage. “The quarterbacks are very similar and the strength of each team. However the defenses won’t be caught off guard because they’ve practiced against the near carbon copies.”

The Jayhawks have won their first two games by an average of 69-10, yet they average just 3.7 yards per carry. The struggles have a lot to do with two new starting tackles, according to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com.

Here are spread betting trends with all records against the spread. The Jayhawks are 7-0 after allowing less than 170 yards passing last game. They are 10-1 following a game in which they allowed less than 20 points and 17-5 off a win.

South Florida is 9-2 at home and 6-2 off ATS loss. However, the Bulls are 0-5 against teams with a winning record.

Totals trends see the Jayhawks having gone under 6-1 against teams with a winning record. South Florida has gone over all seven off a straight up win, but under 10-3 after allowing less than 170 yards passing last game.

Should you ask who to bet on in this game, as per usual, the top sports service in America GodsTips has the answer.   

GodsTips is the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com and has the first College Football Game of the Year of the Year going Friday on the Kansas-South Florida game as the Friday Night Nonconference Game of the Year.

Oh North Carolina starts the week off with another ho-hum winner. GodsTips has had winning weeks 5-of-6 in football and is now 18-8 the last two weeks. Click now to purchase both Friday night sides.

Last year, Georgia humiliated Hawaii as Hawaii as the Bowl Game of the Year. The football betting experts also nailed the Bowl Moneyline Game of the Year (Miss State +130 on Dec. 29), Regular Season Game of the Year in CFB (Nov. 22 USC 20-point winner to ASU laying three), NFL Game of the Year (Nov. 11 underdog Arizona beating Detroit by double digits).

Some of the other winners were: On Sept. 20, Miami Florida was the ESPN Game of the Year. Laying -2, they crushed Texas A&M 34-17. On Oct. 4, it was our Thursday Game of the Year on South Carolina -5 to Kentucky. They win by 15. October 13, it Penn State was the Big 10 Game of the Year. Laying seven, they smash Wisconsin by 31.

Finally on October 20, we had to sweat one.  Oct. 20 it was Florida beating Kentucky in the SEC Game of the Year. Then on Oct. 27, Tennessee squeaks one out against South Carolina as our Saturday ESPN Game of the Year.

Add to that, on Nov. 11 C-USA West Game of the Year on Tulsa, a bloodbath, while Cincinnati was a gift as our Big East GOY. Nov. 17 Kansas was our Big 12 edition and they win easily. But the biggest story of them all was on Nov. 22, USC laying just three points was the CFB Game of the Year. They win by 20!

Washington State-Baylor

Stevie Vincent, Senior Handicapper at OffshoreInsiders.com and head of BetOnSports360 says, “It seems too obvious, but the impending Hurricane Ike will be much more of a distraction to the Texas based Bears.” Washington State though has been outscored 105-16 in their first two games and now makes the long trek to Texas in a shorter week. They are consistent: next to last in total offense and last in pass efficiency and scoring defense.

Spread betting trends (against the spread) sees Washington State at 4-14 on the road off consecutive losses, while they’ve also gone over 25-11 after forcing a turnover.

As far as the top pick on the game: at press time MasterLockLine.com is compiling picks, but they report a large side and total from proven services are coming in. Check the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com for further details.

North Carolina travels to Rutgers to play the Scarlet Knights in the only major sporting event in the New York metropolitan area on the anniversary of 911.

It’s the second game for each team as the Tar Heels were lackluster in a win to McNeese State, while Rutgers was dominated on national television by Fresno State. Rutgers is trying to live without all-everything Ray Rice.

Who has the biggest play on this game? The greatest football service in the world is GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com has had winning weeks 5-of-6 including preseason football. Yet another winning weekend starts with a Major play on the side North Carolina-Rutgers. You certainly want to get the four or five day pass. They will have a Wise Guy on Kansas State-South Florida and the weekend is looking as good a usual at GodsTips. Click now to purchase

The Tar Heels have lost 20 consecutive games straight up outside the state of North Carolina. They have three sophomores and a junior at cornerback and will be going up against two players who had 1,000 or more receiving yards last year Kenny Britt and Tiquan Underwood.

Here are some against the spread betting trends. North Carolina is 0-5 to the Big East. Rutgers is 10-2 in non-conference games, 8-3 to against teams with a winning record and 10-4 off ATS loss. However, the Scarlet Knights have lost five straight on grass.

North Carolina has gone over 15-of-22 on the road. Rutgers has gone over 9-1 off a bye week.

How badly are the personal attacks on Sarah Palin by left-wing mouthpieces hurting Barack Obama? A widely circulated YouTube video has liberal talker John Stewart trying to kill two birds with one stone, using unrelated comments by Bill O’Reilly about Bristol Palin and Jamie Lynn Spears (sister of Brittany) to somehow prove a conservative hypocrisy.

As the host of the O’Reilly Factor himself says, “Every time the far left attacks Palin personally, it’s another vote for McCain.” Vile smear merchant Bill Maher has joined the choir in unintentionally helping McCain with vicious innuendo about Palin’s teenage daughter.

There is no question Palin has benefited from a sympathy vote by those rallying around the victim of the politics of personal destruction.

If Laura Ingraham compared Obama’s (single) mother to Brittany or Jamie Lynn Spears, this would help Obama. If Sean Hannity claimed that Barack’s blunder with George Stephanopoulos was proof of the Democrat’s radical Islam, this would backfire and hurt McCain. (In an interview, Obama used the term “My Muslim faith.”)

Four years ago John Kerry led George Bush in all the polls. Then Bush got his gift horse: Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 was a mocumentary filled with half-truths, exaggerations and just plain lies about President Bush. This pushed the undecided to rally around Bush.

Ultimately the race will still be decided by who wins the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates. But unless Palin is annihilated by Joe Biden or a true “October Surprise” is uncovered, the relentless personal attacks on Palin and her family will aid the Republican ticket in November.

Right wingers extremists like Michael Savage, Anne Coulter, and Pat Robertson need to be cautious in their bomb-throwing and not return the favor of the far-left.  So far they have been typically partisan, but sans the vitriol of Olbermann, Stewart, and Maher.

If the medium is truly the message, then McCain should have one request of the far-left: keep talking.

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy is also the top political handicapper. Well ahead of the Rasmussen and USA Today/Gallup polls, Duffy last week declared that McCain had taken over as the favorite. Keep track of the political betting odds at the site Duffy is CEO OffshoreInsiders.com   

Earlier today, we took a look at against the spread betting trends for the Vikings-Packers and Broncos-Raiders. Now let’s review some sports betting news and notes. NFL betting odds see Green Bay laying 2.5 with a total of 37.5.

If you haven’t already heard that Aaron Rogers takes over for Brett Favre at QB for Green Bay, then perhaps you should not be betting.

Green Bay is 17-3 their last 20 regular season games straight up.

This could easily be a low scoring game reports Bob Warner of ScoresOddsPicks.com. He notes that Green Bay allowed just 18.2 points per game last year and Minnesota’s tremendous run defense got better in the offseason with the addition of Jared Allen.

He will be matched up against Chad Clifton who is a top pass blocker though.

However, the Vikings are without suspended defensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, starting Artis Hicks instead.

For those who weigh preseason results, note that Vikings superstar running back Adrian Peterson averaged just 2.6 yards per carry on 20 rushing attempts in the preseason.

Minnesota is just 14-18 under head coach Brad Childress.

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy leads the staple of handicappers with picks on tonight’s MNF doubleheader.

Scouts Inc. believes that the game films dictate that the Vikings are vulnerable against the slant pass.

It’s already been a huge day for sportsbooks all over the world as nothing will affect the NFL odds more than Tom Brady’s injury status. “The New England Patriots will not go to the playoffs with Matt Cassel as their quarterback.

But the most immediate story is the huge NFL pick on tonight’s Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts game from the LateInfo line.

Our West Coast Source is the most well connected pro bettor in the world when it comes to “local” sharp bets across the country. Because of recent backward legislation, a large percentage of sharp info is being placed with outlaw books and below the Vegas and offshore sportsbooks radar screen, but not below our West Coast Source.

Did you watch the games online or via the NFL Sunday Ticket? Either way, yet again it’s a windfall for NFL bettors as GodsTips is 5-1 this week including a sweep of Wise Guy plays. Pittsburgh crushing the Houston Texans and Philadelphia humiliating the St. Louis Rams were the two biggest blowouts early.

That was no shock as the two Wise Guy plays from GodsTips were the Eagles and Steelers. Oh, they also had the Falcons over the Lions and the Titans-Jaguars under. That makes them 15-6 this week in football, already clinching winning week 5-of-6 since NFL preseason picks commenced.

If the NFL scores have you down money, all we can say is that’s what you get when you don’t ride the world’s best sports handicappers.

You got accurate injury information on Willis McGahee, Jamal Lewis, Laveranues Coles and others earlier today on the Tailgate Party

It’s time to bailout with the Sunday night football winner from LateInfo at OffshoreInsiders.com   

The ultimate fantasy football and sports handicapping NFL injuries report and the news and notes for the early games as well as the biggest picks and prediction for NFL betting but now the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com gets the rotogeeks and gamblers ready for the late NFL.

Adding to that is that ESPN is reporting Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck is getting shots for pain, a bulging disk in his back, and the Seahawks are significantly worried about this. Sportsbooks currently have the Bills laying 1.5.

Cowboys-Browns

Most key indicators agree that Browns running back Jamal Lewis is a game time decision. Derek Anderson is the starting QB for Cleveland even though he missed two preseason games with a concussion. Braylon Edwards returns to the line-up for the Browns at WR.

The Pokes have the best opening day record straight up in the NFL at 32-15-1. Cleveland has lost their last three season opening games. However, they enter on a seven game winning streak straight up in the new dog pound. This is one of three NFL Wise Guys from the top sports handicapper in the business at GodsTips. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact.  Get their entire betting card for $17 Click now to purchase

Panthers-Chargers

Both quarterbacks Jake Delhomme and Philip Rivers will be tested coming off injuries. So will Chargers tight end Antonio Gates. San Diego has won 10-of-12 games straight up entering this season, while Carolina lost 7-of-10.

The Panthers clearly though are better with Delhomme healthy. Since the last game of the 2006 season, his QB rating is 116.1.

Ditto for the Chargers being better with Philip Rivers at QB. They are 25-7 straight up with him including a stunning 15-1 at home.

Cardinals-49ers

Mike Martz is the new offensive coordinator for San Francisco and J.T. O’Sullivan the new QB.

Bears-Colts

The Colts open a new stadium and they’ve won five straight home openers. Kyle Orton gets the nod a QB for the Bears. They are a surprising 12-6 straight up with Orton starting.

It seems the sportsbooks need to contact GlassDoor.com as clients of OffshoreInsiders.com continue to knock the door through with consistent winners.

Here NFL injuries for fantasy football players and sports bettors alike. This is compiled by the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com, the top site for spread picks in the NFL.

Jaguars-Titans

Of course the big question is the mental state of Jacksonville following the shooting of backup tackle Richard Collier. Jacksonville’s offensive line is banged up and starting wide receivers Jerry Porter is out and Reggie Williams will be rusty after missing the preseason. Troubled WR Matt Jones starts for the Jags.

The power of 620 sports services behind every selection is now 8-3 the last 11 in the NFL since the preseason. This includes 2-0 in the regular season with the Giants and under. Check out today’s loaded gun at MasterLockLine.com

Bengals-Bills

Buffalo running back Willis McGahee will plays, but whether or not he starts is a game time decision. So a full load is unlikely.

Sweep Thursday and Friday and a winning day yesterday has GodsTips entering Sunday 11-5 for the week (many of you are 11-4-1).

The single best NFL sports betting service is GodsTips, which had winning weeks 4-of-5 in the NFL preseason. They start out the week 1-0 with the Giants easy. Get three NFL Wise Guy sides, plus four Majors. Click now to purchase

Rams-Eagles

Philadelphia WR Reggie Brown is doubtful and last years leading receiver Kevin Curtis is out. Rookie DeSean Jackson gets thrown to the wolves.

Buccaneers-Saints

For Tampa, Antonio Williams starts at WR because Ike Hilliard is hurt. Cadillac Williams is out, so Earnest Graham starts. The Bucs OL is hurting, so Donald Penn and Jeremy Zuttah, a rookie, are being forced into starting duty. Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says the Buccaneers offensive line is one of the worst in the NFC because of the injuries.

Joey Galloway should be close to 100 percent for Tampa.

Panthers-Chargers

For San Diego, QB Philip Rivers and TE Antonio Gates star and Shawne Merriman also plays passing up on knee surgery.

The Panthers are without WR Steve Smith who is suspended and QB Jake Delhomme starts his first game since getting Tommy John surgery. D.J. Hackett is not 100 percent, but will be available for Carolina.

Seahawks-Bills

Seattle is without WRs Bobby Engram and Deion Branch. For the Bills, Pro Bowl tackle is a holdout.

Cowboys-Browns

Cleveland RB Jamal Lewis is a game time decision.

Chiefs-Patriots

Bill Kayma of Lines-Maker.com reports that many insiders believe Pats QB Tom Brady is not fully recovered from the injury that limited him in the Super Bowl. “He is throwing off his toes,” reports the NFL insider.

Ben Watson, one of Brady’s biggest targets, is listed at doubtful.

Jets-Dolphins

It’s official, Ricky Williams starts at RB for the Dolphins. We hear that the Jets have a new QB in Brett Favre.

Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com reports that Victor Profit is the latest radio tout to battle for the business of sports bettors. The power of 620 sports services behind every selection will monitor their picks and see if they are among the two percent of sports handicappers who can and do win.

Quite interesting is that Stu Feiner and Kevin Duffy (no relation whatsoever to OffshoreInsiders.com CEO Joe Duffy) are reunited after a tiff. Along with a newcomer named Tony Smith, they outbid handicapper Larry Dukehart who calls himself the Duke, for infomercial time on Sporting News Radio.

Ah at one time Rick Ballou, Tim Brando and even weekend host Chet Coppock made them a worth listen.

Seahawks-Bills

Seattle is just 11-21 all-time in openers, but they have won the last two. Buffalo is as bad at 19-29. Maurice Morris gets the start at running back for Seattle, head of a 1-2 punch with ex-Cowboy Julius Jones taking over for Shaun Alexander.

Jets-Dolphins

Perhaps you’ve heard, but maybe you were busy watching the Republican National Convention and Sarah Palin. So in case you missed it, Brett Favre is making his debut as Jets QB. Though from Southern Mississippi, Favre has played his best in the cold, going only 8-7 in Florida.

The subplot is former Jets starter Chad Pennington is the now the starter at Miami. The Fins could have a surprising 1-2 punch at running back if Ricky Williams avoids the wacky tobaccy. He is backed up by Ronnie Brown who has four 100-yard rushing games in seven starts before going down with a knee injury. The Fins were more competitive than their record indicates as they led the league with six losses by three or fewer points. The Jets only road win last year was in Miami.

Lions-Falcons

Detroit got out of the gate quickly last year winning their first two games but only winning five of their final 14. Rookie Matt Ryan starts at QB for the Dirty Birds. Atlanta has decent weapons at running back adding free agent Michael Turner to go with Jerious Norwood who showed flashes last season.

The top NFL handicapper of all time is Mike Godsey of GodsTips, which had winning weeks 4-of-5 in the preseason and is 1-0 this week with the Giants. Get three NFL Wise Guy sides plus four Majors in the NFL. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact. Click now to purchase GodsTips.

Detroit has committed to much more of a ball control game this season adding former Bengal Rudi Johnson and rookie Kevin Smith to the mix. Detroit was 2-6 on the road straight up last year. The teams alternated wins over the last seven, with Atlanta “due” for the win here.

Rams-Eagles

With a healing Donovan McNabb, the Eagles were 5-1 in his last six starts. D-Mac has a 95.3 rating in the contests. If you bet quarters, note that the Rams allowed the most fourth quarter points last year.

Texans-Steelers

Andre Johnson is healthy for Houston. Because of injuries, he started just nine games last year but led the league in yards per game among receivers with at least 50 catches. The Steelers lead the league in consecutive opening wins with five.

The founder of forensic sports handicapping Stevie Vincent has been annihilating the bookmakers for years. His Blue Ribbon NFL plays are 74.3 percent all-time. Get a Blue Ribbon play on the Dallas-Cleveland side among four pro football winners. Click now to purchase

Bengals-Ravens

Cincinnati has won three straight season-openers. Baltimore is 4-8 straight up in season openers, dead last in the conference. The Bengals are 6-1 in the series. Rookie Joe Flacco starts for Baltimore at QB. Flacco is being rushed due to the retirement of Steve McNair and a season ending injury to Kyle Boller. Baltimore’s John Harbaugh is making his regular season debut as a head coach at any level.

We will update with the game day injuries on the famed Tailgate Party, a must read for fantasy football players and bettors alike. However it looks like both T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson will play for the Bengals.  

Chiefs-Patriots

ESPN’s Ron Jaworski, a guy who knows a little about quarterbacking and watching game films, said earlier this week, he believes Tom Brady may still have the same injury that limited him in the Super Bowl. Jaws said that Brady appears to still be throwing off his toe, something he did not do until last year’s Super Bowl loss to the NY Giants.

New England has won 19 straight regular season games

Buccaneers-Saints

Do the Saints have an upside? They were second in the league last year in dropped passes and have added Jeremy Shockey to the fold. The Saints are 13-28 all-time in openers including last year losing en route to an 0-4 start.

Jaguars-Titans

Jacksonville closed out last year winning 6-of-8 by an average of 12.9 points per game. They were 9-3 when David Garrard starts. The Jags are 9-4 in openers.

Best wishes out to Jody McDonald of WPEN, one of the best radio sources of information anywhere. He is recovering nicely from open heart surgery.

We are glad to hear that Rick Ballou is back solo after his 1010XL radio station in Jacksonville abandoned attempts to debase his sports talk show into guy radio. While suffering through I.M. Bettor of Freeplays.com is painful, Cy McCormick reports there are at least 180 handicappers who can say “I am better than IM Bettor” in college football and more than 210 in NFL picks.

McCormick is the President of MasterLockLine.com which has the top plays from the top sports service in their highest ranked sports and monitors more than 620 sports services.

McCormick says that while a few services have gone out of business, new services he will monitor this year include collegefootballpros.com, solidsportsbets.com, thepicksexchange.com, nflchoice.com, rustybanks.com, collegefootballpoll.com, smartbetters.com (sic), Harry Wins, 10freefootballpicks.com and a few others.

So far none appear to likely be among the elite sports picks betting services, but only the objective numbers will tell.

The famed Tailgate Party took a betting view of the South Carolina-Vanderbilt clash, but let’s assist sports bettors with NFL picks. The Washington Redskins take on the New York Giants. The betting line (NFL betting odds) has the Giants a four-point favorite with a total of 41.

The Giants do have all 11 starters from the Super Bowl returning on the offensive side of the ball. However, they are minus perhaps their two best defensive players from last year. Michael Strahan retired and Osi Umenyiora is on the injured reserve. However, Stahan’s replacement Justin Tuck has been very impressive so far says Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com

The Redskins offense has been totally overhauled as rookie head coach Jim Zorn takes over for legendary leader Joe Gibbs. Arguably the biggest acquisition of the offseason was the Redskins adding Jason Taylor to their defense.

It’s hard to ever say there is a bigger pick on this game than from the football specialists at GodsTips. No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy’s GodsTips does the NFL. This is a fact few gamblers, oddsmakers, or fellow handicappers dispute.

Get the Redskins-NY Giants side and the Vanderbilt-South Carolina total. Click now to purchase from Center of the Handicapping Universe GodsTips.

The Giants have won 10 of the last 15 meetings straight up. The last five NFL season-opening games have been won by the home team.

Checking spread records (all are against the spread): the Redskins are 9-19 in the month of September. But they are 28-11 as a road underdog of 3.5-7. The Giants are on a 6-0 run and are 9-4 to the NFC East.

As far as over/under trends, the Skins have gone under 17-8 to the NFC East. Don’t forget to check out the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com and see who the top sports services have. They will be listed on the MasterLockLine.

Here are news and notes and computer trends, as we take a look from a bettor’s standpoint, the Vanderbilt and South Carolina televised on ESPN.  South Carolina is a 10 point road favorite with a total of 41 according to BetUs Sportsbook.

The Gamecocks will start backup quarterback Chris Smelley. However, Jimmy Ashton of Lines-Maker.com says that is not necessarily bad news for USC. Starting QB Tommy Beecher threw four interceptions in his first career start to NC State last week. Smelley came in and completed all five passes en route to two scoring drives.

This is a huge revenge game for USC. Last year they were 6-1 and ranked sixth in the country, but were beaten in Columbia by the Commodores 17-6. USC Running back Mike Davis starts after a token non-start, but non-benching last week in which he carried just 14 times, but rushed for 101 yards.

Vanderbilt will likely be without starting running back Jeff Jennings because of a shoulder injury. This further depletes an offense that has several injuries at wide receiver including starter George Smith.

Without any question, the biggest bet from a proven world class handicapper is from Stevie Vincent, the father of forensic sports handicapping. He has the ESPN SEC Game of the Quarter Century on the side. More details are at the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com   

For those who bet college football quarters note that Vanderbilt has little depth on the defensive line. Any injury could be devastating.

Here are computer betting trends, all records are against the spread. Vanderbilt is 2-11 off a win of 21 or more points. However, they are also 10-2 in the month of September

As far as over/under trends, South Carolina has gone under 13-3 on the road after a game in which they committed three or more turnovers.

It was somewhere around 25 years ago - an eon in the prospering life of modern sports betting - that Nevada’s licensed bookmakers first began employing money lines. The action was one of necessity as bet takers, in an effort to limit their susceptibility at being caught between two numbers (a situation called being middled or sided) sought a profitable (for them) but reasonably attractive (for bettors) alternative to moving pointspreads.

With money lines, (which are the wagering standard for baseball), players don’t lay or take points; they lay or take a price. For example, if the Colts are a 3-point favorite over the Broncos, on the money line, Indianapolis might be -160 (bet $160 to win $100) while Denver is +140 (bet $100 to win $140). No pointspread is involved.

”The time when a money line is really used in force is on a game such as the Super Bowl where a side or a middle literally could cost you millions of dollars,” explained a noted Las Vegas bookmaker with vast knowledge of the intricacies of money line management who asked not to be identified. “At a really large sportsbook, getting sided on the Super Bowl could cost the house well over $1 million.

”The time that a money line is really valuable is when the line is -3. Rather than moving the spread to -2 ½ or -3 ½, I like using a money line, especially if my jeopardy is going to be around seven figures.”

Of course, a bookmaker’s jeopardy or risk is a relative factor.

”Again, it’s up to the guy running the joint,” pointed out the bet taker. “Obviously, if you’re on -3 and you’re $2 million high, if you go to -3 ½ you know you’re going to get money back. How much do you want to risk? It all comes down to how much belly you have.”

Bookmakers also use money lines when they hang halftime lines, a game within a game where pointspreads based solely and independently on single halftime scores are offered.

”Halves are pretty treacherous,” admitted the bookmaker. “Using a money line is a tactical move because I think that’s the only way you can really book halftimes. If it’s pick with the money line and the game comes tied, all you do is give the money back. But it’s dangerous to go from pick to 1, pick to a ½ or pick to 1 on the other side because, quite obviously, if the game winds up 7-7 at the half, you’re going to lose a lot of money.

”That’s a strategic move because there are a lot smarter people betting the halftime than in a normal situation. When you take decent sized bets - say $10,000 to a number - using the pick money line pointspread for a halftime, I believe, is the best theory.”

Sports betting action usually dictates change but pointspreads don’t always move in tandem with money line shifts, and vice versa.

”It all depends,” said another bookmaker who also felt a bit squeamish discussing internal oddsmaking deliberations and demanded anonymity. “If wiseguys (informed bettors) are laying a side up, yeah, most of the time I will move the pointspread. But if it’s square (unsophisticated) money that moving the number, I’ll just leave it there because I don’t want to kill all the action. Sometimes, if you leave it there, they’ll bet that up, too. But if games are moving, especially in college, a point, a point and a half, two points a crack in an afternoon, you’ve got to move the money line. With the NFL, you can stay a little longer and take a hit.”

If there’s a player edge with money lines it’s probably in taking the odds with small underdogs. Since NFL games are decided by 1 or 2 points only about a combined seven percent of the time, some gamblers feel if you like the underdog you might as well forget the points and take a plus on the money line.

In the end, money lines are just another option sports betting option.

MONEY LINE VERSUS POINTSPREAD

We get a lot of questions about sports handicapping radio shows. Let’s give credit to Mark Lawrence, one of the pioneers in radio handicapping with his “Against the Spread” radio show. Mark and Lenny Stevens, whom I was a guest many times, are probably the two pioneers. Journeyman Mike Lett is another.

Now Scott Spreitzer, Brandon Lang, and Bobby Ventura spend a lot of money doing infomercial appearances. Spreitzer and Lang (AKA Brandon Lane) both are solid broadcasters who bring information and personality to the table, but Ventura is “painful to listen to. It is radio at its worst,” reports Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com.

SportsByline with Ron Barr used to have some of the SportsMemo handicappers on satellite radio and was pretty useful.

Still, we use sports radio hosts who have great overlapping information for the sports bettor. Norm Hitzges of The Ticket in Dallas, the recovering Jody McDonald of WPEN ESPN Radio in Philadelphia, Billy Werndl off the “Too Much Show” in San Diego, Mike Francesa and even the Mad Dog of WFAN in New York, Mitch Levy of KJR in Seattle.

Others report they like Stoney & Wojo, Howard Eskin of WIP in Philadelphia (a favorite of Lines-Maker.com staffer Rex DeStephano), the Dennis and Callahan Show on WEEI in Boston, Mike and Mike (Mike Goldberg and Mike Golic) of ESPN Radio, Tony Rizzo of WKNR in Cleveland, among many others.
