Colliding on the gridiron . . .

No. 1 Oregon will look to hold onto their top ranking on Thursday night when they play host to UCLA. The Ducks (6-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) rolled to a 43-23 road win over Washington State last time out, with LaMichael James rushing for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The Bruins (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) were throttled 35-7 on the road by California in their last game, with quarterback Kevin Prince (questionable, knee injury) going just 13 of 31 for 99 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Oddsmakers have Oregon pegged as big 24-point home favorites for Thursday’s matchup, with the total listed at 61 points.

It’s a Wise Guy in the NLCS in addition to the college football total. Are you ready to sweep?

It’s time for a lot more winning. As our long-time clients know, we don’t often have a side and total on the same game, but such is the case with UCLA-Oregon and get that four or five day pass because it looks like among the most, if not the most Wise Guys in football we’ve seen this year. Of course we are still evaluating key indicators as they come in, but it’s looking good. Start out with the Thursday night side and total from the top handicapper ever. Click now to purchase

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The Phillies and Giants will send their respective aces to the mound in Game 5 of the NLCS in San Francisco on Thursday, with Roy Halladay (1-1, 2.25 ERA in the playoffs) taking on Tim Lincecum (2-0, 1.69 ERA in the playoffs). Righthander Halladay lost Game 1 of this series last Saturday, surrendering four runs on eight hits over his seven innings of work while fanning seven batters. Righthander Lincecum picked up the win in that contest, giving up just three runs on six hits in seven innings, and striking out eight.

Finally, there are 11 games on the NHL’s schedule for Thursday, with Washington at Boston, Anaheim at Philadelphia, Calgary at Detroit, Dallas at Florida, New Jersey at Montreal, the Islanders at Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh at Nashville, San Jose at Colorado, Minnesota at Edmonton, Los Angeles at Phoenix, and the Rangers at Toronto. The 4-0-1 Maple Leafs are coming off their first loss of the season, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Islanders on Monday night. Phil Kessel had Toronto’s lone goal in that contest. The 1-2-1 Rangers were beaten 3-1 at home by Colorado on Monday night. Alexander Frolov scored for New York, who is missing forward Marian Gaborik with a separated shoulder.

This week’s football schedule includes a contest between UCLA and Oregon. Vegas oddsmakers have the spread at the Oregon Ducks -25.5 with a total of 61. However for those who want to bet the UCLA Bruins football the underdog can be had at +26.

OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at the football betting match-up using key numbers employed by professional gamblers.

In comparing yards per rush on offense, the better numbers belong to Oregon football by 1.4.

As far as passing yards per completion on the offensive side of the ball, the upper hand is for Oregon by a massive 4.3.

According to yards per point, the more efficient offense is the Ducks by 3.6, arguably a slimmer margin than some would expect.

Defensively the more stingy team based on yards per rush is Oregon by 1.0.

The superior defense in terms of passing yards per completion is also the Ducks but by just .4.

The yards per point statistic used by the best sports handicappers says the superior defense is the Ducks by 6.3.

Turnover margin is in favor of Oregon by a net 12.

Yards per point is determined by diving total yards by number of points. Offensively a lower number is considered more efficient. On defense, a higher number is better.

For the second straight week, we saw a national No. 1 get dethroned in college football betting. We check in with Wisconsin, the team that cut Ohio State down to size, in our news and notes this week.

(10) Wisconsin (6-1) vs (13) Iowa (5-1)

The Badgers should be relatively healthy when they do battle with the Hawkeyes on the road this week. Linebacker Mike Taylor (ankle), tight end Lance Kendricks (cramps) and wideout Nick Toon (charley horse) all got hurt against Ohio State but all three are expected to play this weekend. Starting outside linebacker Chris Borland (shoulder) is out for the season.

Iowa’s defense is a bit banged up entering this matchup. Senior middle linebacker Jeff Tarpinian’s neck stinger could keep him shelved for a second straight game. Fullback Brett Morse had a streak of 18 straight starts snapped last week due to a leg injury but could return on Saturday. Defensive co-ordinator Norm Parker, who had his right foot amputated due to diabetes complications, has an outside chance of returning this week.

(14) Nebraska (5-1) vs (17) Oklahoma State (6-0)

After having its perfect season ruined by Texas last week, is Nebraska a good betting pick to rebound and crush Oklahoma State’s dreams? Cornhuskers quarterback Taylor Martinez got benched in the second half last week; the last time that happened, he ran for 241 yards the next game.

The key to containing Martinez will be OSU linebacker Orie Lemon. He missed all of 2009 due to injury but is back healthy this season and playing like a man possessed. The Cowboys got a bunch of players back from injuries last week: linebacker Justin Gent (concussion), defensive tackle Shane Jarka (knee), and receiver Josh Cooper (concussion). Wideouts Michael Harrison and Hubert Anyian are questionable to play.

(6) LSU (7-0) vs (5) Auburn (7-0)

Jordan Jefferson’s mistakes have led to more playing time for LSU “backup” quarterback Jarrett Lee. He has two touchdown passes and one pick over the last three games and could see action versus Auburn in what will probably be the most bet-on game at every sportsbook.

Auburn and, more specifically, Cameron Newton put on a crazy show against Arkansas last week but the Tigers are a bit hobbled entering Week 8. Safety Aairon Savage broke his foot last week and is out for the season; cornerback T’Sharvan Bell is questionable with a hamstring injury; running back Michael Dyer is playing through a sore knee.

(3) Oklahoma (6-0) vs (18) Missouri (6-0)

Oklahoma looks healthy entering this matchup but Missouri has to sort through a few maladies. Linebacker Luke Lambert strained his knee against Texas A&M and will miss at least two games. Defensive end Aldon Smith (fractured fibula) has been medically cleared to return but Missouri’s coaching staff hasn’t decided if he’s fit to play. Defensive tackle Jimmy Burge is back from suspension and should play a fair amount.

Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Baseball’s League Championship Series continue in both San Francisco and New York, while the Ducks hit the road to take on Columbus.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

It’s Game 5 of the ALCS between the Rangers and Yankees in New York on Wednesday, with Texas’ C.J. Wilson (1-0, 2.02 ERA in the playoffs) taking on New York’s CC Sabathia (1-0, 7.20 ERA in the playoffs). Lefthander Wilson picked up a no-decision in the first game of this series, surrendering three runs on six hits over his seven innings of work. Lefthander Sabathia also had to settle for a no-decision in the opener, giving up five runs on six hits in just four innings of work. Sabathia walked four batters that game, and he has seven walks and just eight strikeouts during the playoffs.

Over in the NLCS on Wednesday the Giants will play host to the Phillies in Game 4. San Francisco will hand the ball to Madison Bumgarner (1-0, 3.00 ERA in the playoffs) in that contest. Lefthander Bumgarner picked up a win over the Braves back in the NLDS, surrendering just two runs on six hits over six innings of work, and fanning five. Philadelphia will then counter with Joe Blanton (barring a late change to ace Roy Halladay). Blanton has yet to pitch in the playoffs; the righthander took the mound against the Giants back on August 18, winning while allowing two runs in 6 1-3 innings.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

As well, there are four games on the National Hockey League’s schedule for Wednesday, with Buffalo at Atlanta, Vancouver at Chicago, Carolina at Los Angeles, and Anaheim at Columbus. The 2-3-1 Ducks got past the Coyotes 3-2 at home in their last game on Sunday night. Cam Fowler, Toni Lydman, and Corey Perry all scored for Anaheim in that win, while Bobby Ryan picked up three assists. Jonas Hiller stopped 36 of 38 Phoenix shots. The 2-2-0 Blue Jackets are coming off a 3-2 road win over Minnesota on Saturday, with Derek Dorsett, Derek MacKenzie, and R.J. Umberger providing the three goals. Mathieu Garon stopped 21 shots for Columbus in that victory.

After Week 6 in NFL betting consisted of pure carnage, we have plenty of news and notes to discuss as we prep for Week 7. Here’s a look at some info on the early games.

Rams (3-3) vs Buccaneers (3-2)

Hard to believe these two teams have combined for five wins already this season. Neither roster will look much different than it did in Week 6. Sam Bradford will soldier on without Mark Clayton (knee – out for season). Danario Alexander will continue to see increased targets assuming his surgically repaired left knee can handle it. Kareem Huggins (ACL) is gone for the year for Tampa but the Bucs weren’t using him much anyway.

Eagles (4-2) vs Titans (4-2)

Betting fans should probably expect Vince Young to suit up against Philly. He sprained his knee in the Monday nighter but Jeff Fisher said Young could’ve re-entered the game had it not been a blowout. I’d put his odds at better than 50/50 to play. DeSean Jackson (concussion) won’t play for the Eagles this week and maybe not for a while. Michael Vick (ribs) will probably return in Week 9. For now, the ship is Kevin Kolb’s to steer. If he plays well this weekend, we could see a new quarterback controversy.

Bills (0-5) vs Ravens (4-2)

It could get ugly for the Bills when they visit Baltimore this week. Right tackle Cornell Green is still out with a knee injury. Fred Jackson will continue to start over C.J. Spiller at running back but may not get a ton of carries if (when?) Buffalo falls behind at Baltimore. Ed Reed (hip surgery) will start practicing with the Ravens on Wednesday and hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday.

49ers (1-5) vs Panthers (0-5)

The 49ers are more or less healthy and have a real shot to win their second straight game at Carolina this Sunday. Vernon Davis had an MRI on his knee Monday but the injury looks minor; he stayed in the game with it last week. Jimmy Clausen’s first audition to be an NFL starter is over. The Panthers have benched him after going 0-3 with him under center. Matt Moore will get another shot at the quarterback job this week.

Jaguars (3-3) vs Chiefs (3-2)

This sports betting blog isn’t counting on David Garrard (concussion) to play in Week 7. Trent Edwards and his happy feet will probably get the call against the underrated K.C. defense, which hopes to bounce back after struggling against Houston. Defensive end Tyson Jackson (sprained MCL) is practicing but hasn’t returned to the lineup on game day yet.

Steelers (4-1) vs Dolphins (3-2)

Now that Ben Roethlisberger’s rust is gone, he could really open up against Miami in Week 7. He’ll make good use of Mike Wallace, who averages a ridiculous 25.1 yards per catch this year. The Dolphins are relatively healthy for this matchup coming off their bye week.

Bengals (2-3) vs Falcons (4-2)

The Bengals want redemption after losing to Tampa before their bye week but they’ll start Week 7 on the wrong foot; defensive end Antwan Odom has been suspended four games for using performance-enhancing drugs. It looks like Jonathan Fanene (hamstring) will be ready to replace him, however. The Bengals’ secondary is also banged up. Jonathan Joseph’s status is unknown; he didn’t practice Monday. Roy Williams (knee) also may not play this week. I’d bet at a sportsbook that the Falcons won’t have Dunta Robinson this week. Not only is he concussed, he may be suspended for his vicious hit on DeSean Jackson last week.

Lindsay McCormick is not nearly as hot as Matt Rivers free sports pick from the MLB playoffs.

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The NLCS between Philly and the Giants resumes in San Francisco, while the Yankees play host to the Rangers in Game 4 of their ALCS.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The NLCS shifts to San Francisco on Tuesday, with Game 3 between the Giants and Phillies. San Francisco will give the ball to Matt Cain (0-0, 0.00 ERA in the playoffs) in that contest, while Philadelphia counters with Cole Hamels (1-0, 0.00 ERA in the playoffs). Righthander Cain had to settle for a no-decision in his NLDS outing against the Braves, surrendering one unearned run on seven hits over his 6 2-3 innings of work in that game. Lefthander Hamels dazzled the Reds in his only outing of the NLDS, giving up just five hits over his nine shutout innings. Hamels struck out nine in that win.

Meanwhile, it’s Game 4 of ALCS between the Rangers and Yankees in New York on Tuesday night. The Yankees will try their luck with A.J. Burnett on the mound on Tuesday. Righthander Burnett has yet to pitch in the playoffs this year, and the team was just 2-8 in his last 10 trips to the mound during the regular season. The Rangers will turn to Tommy Hunter (0-1, 4.50 ERA in the playoffs) for Tuesday’s game. Righthander Hunter lost to the Rays in the ALDS, giving up three runs over four innings.

Free sports pick….

Your comp winner for Tuesday is on the Rangers.

I will gladly fade AJ Burnett in this spot, gladly. The New York righthander is a total waste of a guy who is pretty much stealing money these days. Yes that last start in Boston was better and I guess considered positive but I’m not really taking all that much from it and think disaster is written all over this thing.

Tommy Hunter was better earlier in the season than down the stretch but all in all the guy had an extremely successful season and the numbers bare that out. The righty went 13-4 overall with a 3.73 ERA. I fully understand how today is a tough tough task for Hunter in a hitter’s park against Joe Girardi’s boppers led by Arod, Cano, Jeter and Tex but I see him being far more conducive to success today than Burnett.

The Rangers’ lineup is no joke either as we have been seeing. Hamilton, Young, Kinsler, Cruz, Vlad and others form an elite squad that deserved to win the AL West after leading almost all of the way. Ron Washington has a confident group that should not really have many problems against the regressing Burnett. I’m truly shocked that Girardi even is going to throw AJ out there in such a big-time spot. How he has any confidence in him is beyond me and up against a Texas team that truly should be up 3-0 makes me salivate a bit at this matchup.

Hunter may not hurl a complete game shutout in this spot against the big bad Yankees but I would not be all that surprised to see Burnett in the showers by the third inning. Look for the Ranger bats to do their thing and for Hunter to give us five or six solid enough innings in a Texas triumph.

This season Burnett was 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA. I see no way he can turn things around against this opponent in this spot, period.

Matt Rivers says that if all days were like Monday I would be retired by now. Just two absolutely dominating performances from Tennessee and Texas in the perfect 2-0 sweep netting 700,000* of profit. I feel really good right now and am ready for another 400,000* winner, just like Cliff Lee and the Rangers yesterday, in this National League game from San Francisco. 400,000* Absolute No-Brainer between Philadelphia and San Francisco for all the marbles!

As well, there are four games on the ice around the National Hockey League on Tuesday, with Boston at Washington, Vancouver at Minnesota, Carolina at San Jose, and Calgary at Nashville. The Flames improved to 2-2-0 on the season on Saturday night with a 5-3 home win over rival Edmonton. Alex Tanguay scored twice for Calgary in that contest, with Brendan Morrison, Jarome Iginla, and Niklas Hagman providing one goal each. Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves. The Predators fell 3-2 at home in overtime in their last game on Saturday, blowing the 2-0 lead they held through two periods. J.P. Dumont and Jordin Tootoo scored for Nashville, and Anders Lindback stopped 31 shots.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

Monday Night Football this week sees the Titans (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) hit the road for a game against the Jaguars (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) in Jacksonville.

David Garrard went 16 of 20 for 178 yards passing against Buffalo, with three touchdowns and one interception. Oddsmakers have set the Titans as 3-point road favorites for Monday night’s matchup, while the total for the contest is set at 45.5 points.
