There’s one college football game on the schedule for Thursday night, with Cincinnati at North Carolina State. The Bearcats (1-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) broke into the win column last weekend with a 40-7 victory over cupcake Indiana State. The Wolfpack (2-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) managed to beat Central Florida last time out, winning by a final score of 28-21 on the road. North Carolina State has been listed as the 2-point favorite for Thursday night.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

Baseball has just six games on tap for Thursday, with Arizona at Cincinnati, Pittsburgh at the Mets, San Diego at St. Louis, the Dodgers at San Francisco, the Angels at Cleveland, and Minnesota at the White Sox. Carl Pavano (16-11, 3.47 ERA) is slated to take on Mark Buehrle (12-10, 3.99 ERA) in that last matchup. Righthander Pavano was the hard-luck loser in his most recent trip to the mound, allowing just two runs on six hits over eight innings of work against the Indians. Lefthander Buehrle was stuck with his third straight no-decision last time out, giving up three runs on eight hits over seven innings of work against the Royals. Chicago, though, went 3-0 in those Buehrle outings.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, the Seattle Storm will be looking to wrap up the WNBA Finals on Thursday night when they play Game 3 on the road in Atlanta against the Dream. The Storm took a commanding 2-0 series lead with an 87-84 home win in Game 2 on Tuesday night. Lauren Jackson led the way with 26 points for Seattle in that contest, while Swin Cash was good for 19 points. Angel McCoughtry picked up 21 points in the defeat for Atlanta.

Free pick for Thursday is on the Dodgers says OffshoreInsiders.com handicapper Matt Rivers.

No doubt Jonathan Sanchez has blossomed into a very good pitcher as he can strike a lot of guys out and dominate games when on but Ted Lilly is no slouch and in a game that is pretty much 50-50 I’ll back the visiting Dodgers and take back what I can.

Joe Torre’s club has underachieved mightily this season and is obviously going nowhere. But to say they don’t have talent is wrong and with guys like Loney, Kemp, Ethier and a few others I will gladly take the blue in this rivalry spot. It’s not like San Francisco exactly scores all that much with their fairly weak offense so I’ll fade Sanchez and the G-Men even outside of Chavez Ravine and by the bay.

Lilly is a lefty who at times can be phenomenal. The former Yankee southpaw isn’t great but he can be and up against a poor offense very well may go seven of eight strong if not better. Like it always seems to be in this series I expect the pitchers to do their thing today and keep this thing low scoring resulting in one swing or one bounce of the ball determining the winner. I’m looking at 2-1 or 3-2 either way and plus a little bit of coin is enough for me.

Free pick: LA Dodgers +132 to San Francisco

After some wild, unpredictable NFL betting action in week one, doing our homework is extra important this week. Here’s a look at trends for some early games this coming Sunday.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

Steelers (1-0) vs Titans (1-0)

Do oddsmakers overvalue Pittsburgh and undervalue Tennessee early in seasons? The Steelers are just 1-6 ATS over their last seven September games. The Titans are 10-2 ATS over their last 12 in September. However, Pittsburgh does well with momentum, going 4-1-1 ATS in its last six following a straight up win; The Titans are 1-4 ATS over their last five following a straight-up win. The Big Ben-less Steelers could offer value this week, as the underdog is 6-1 ATS over the last seven meetings.

Bills (0-1) vs Packers (1-0)

This is an intriguing betting matchup because the spread is so big by Week 2 standards; it’s around 13 for Green Bay at most books. The Pack do a good job covering the spread thanks to their high-octane offense; they’re 8-1-1 ATS over their last 10 games overall. The lowly Bills can’t be taken lightly, as they’re 8-3 ATS over their last 11 road games, but they struggle when they’re not moving the ball. Buffalo is 2-5 ATS over its last seven after totalling less than 250 yards the previous game.

Bears (1-0) vs Cowboys (0-1)

The trends for this NFC football betting matchup really point to the UNDER. The under is 6-1 in Dallas’ last seven games, 13-3 in the Bears’ last 16 games following an ATS loss and 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams. The Cowboys treat bettors well at their new stadium, going 6-2 ATS in their last eight there.

Dolphins (1-0) vs Vikings (0-1)

The Dolphins are 6-1 ATS over their last seven road games but the Vikings are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six at home. Maybe Miami’s brutal early-season betting record – 2-10-2 ATS over its last 14 in September – can be the tiebreaker. Also, the Vikings respond well after straight-up losses, going 8-2 over their last 10 ATS when that happens.

Ravens (1-0) vs Bengals (0-1)

It seems you don’t go against Baltimore at the sportsbook in September. The Ravens are 7-0 ATS in their last seven September games. But there are several trends against the Ravens in his matchup history. Baltimore is 3-8 ATS in the last seven meetings and 1-4 ATS in its last five visits to Cincinnati. The Bengals are a slight underdog at home right now and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.

Jackie Evancho is the overwhelming 2/5 favorite in the America’s Got Talent odds according to Bodog. But Fighting Gravity is still in the picture. Meanwhile, the Dancing With the Stars Season 11 betting line is a bit tighter.

Bristol Palin is 20/1 to win Dancing with the Stars. But now here is free pick MLB winner.

The pick for Wednesday is on the NY Yankees +105 at Tampa.

The New Yorkers are the better team and at this price, even if Phil Hughes is not the same guy from earlier in the season, I can’t help but once again back Joe Girardi’s Pinstripers. It’s not like James Shields has been even good of late so I will gladly back the visitors here at the Trop. Yes the Yankees have crapped in their pants a bit over the last little bit but they are still awesome and are a great and trustworthy club.

Shields has been scuffling pretty mightily and against Arod, Cano, Tex and the rest of the powerful Bombers I say good luck to the righthander in this situation. The kid can be very good but his confidence is just no longer there as his stuff seems to be failing him regularly of late. Sure Tampa is awesome and led by studs in Crawford, Longoria and Pena but like I have been saying for a while now they are still not the Yankees. New York is the best team in the division and the best team in the entire league, they just are. When push comes to shove they are always going to have my money in a spot such as this one. The Yanks are obviously not intimidated by playing down south in the Trop and are a loaded loaded lineup with more than likely the superior hurler and should be able to smack Shields around a bit.

I’m sure Joe Maddon’s boys will get some licks in against Hughes as the righty is overall pretty mediocre but in the end the Yankees have pretty much the better everything and should show it one more time.

The pick: NY Yankees.

It’s the famed OffshoreInsiders.com tip sheet for beating the NCAA point spread for week three.

September 18, 2010

Utah vs. New Mexico

Lines-Maker.com’s Brian Kayma is reporting that Utes starting QB Jordan Wynn is doubtful. However, his backup is last year’s starter Terrance Cain, a much better scrambler than Wynn. The uncertainty is just another worry for the undermanned New Mexico team that doesn’t know which signal caller to prepare for.

Preseason all-conference center Zane Taylor is likely also out for the Utes.

Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State

Cy McCormick of the Power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine, says his sources assure him that Cowboys starting QB Brandon Weeden’s thumb injury is much worse than he and head Mike Gundy are saying. They have no capable replacement with his two backups having thrown a combined seven passes in their college careers.

Arkansas vs. Georgia

Arkansas RB Dennis Johnson, a member of the Doak Walker watch list, is out with bowel problems. Welcome to the club.

He is also the school’s kickoff return career leader with 2,014 yards and two touchdowns. At running back, he was part of a four-man rotation, so there are experienced players to pick up the slack.

Florida vs. Tennessee

Gators starting WR and PR Chris Rainey may be suspended as a result of an arrest on aggravated stalking.

Ball St. vs. Purdue

Purdue WR Keith Smith, who had 91 catches last year and 18 in the early going this year, is out.

Texas vs. Texas Tech

Injuries continue to thin the Longhorns on the offensive line. All five linemen are starting for the first time this year or playing new positions. They have to face a Texas Tech pass rush that is third nationally with nine sacks.

Houston vs. UCLA

Houston’s QB Case Keenum is a game time decision. His backup Cotton Turner played well against UTEP leading GodsTips to a side and total sweep on the Cougars and over. It’s very unlikely Houston will change their game plan if Keenum is out.

UCLA is dealing with an inept offense, so look for the Cougars to happily engage in a shootout no matter what.

Middle Tennessee State vs. Memphis

Memphis starting QB Cannon Smith is out. He completed 13-of-21 passes this year with one TD and interception. Ryan Williams starts. He’s actually been better this year completing 28-of-42 passes for three TDs and two INTs.

However, MTSU is down to their No. 3 QB. Preseason Sunbelt player of the year Dwight Dasher is suspended. His replacement Logan Kilgore is out. Jeff Murphy, who started last week, went 22-of-36 for 301 yards with no TDs, but one INT.

North Texas vs. Army

Mean Green starting QB Nathan Tune is out for the year. Derek Thompson, who is 30-for-42 over the last two years, gets the start. He has one career TD.

Northwestern vs. Rice

Rice starting QB Taylor McHargue is out. His replacement Nick Fanuzzi started last year, came in last week after McHargue got hurt and led them to a game winning drive to North Texas. He actually has 12 career TD passes, but nine interceptions.

Fresno State vs. Utah State

Fresno is without two key offensive starters RB Robbie Rouse and WR Devon Wylie. The Bulldogs are off a bye week.

Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Twins begin a series in Chicago, while the Padres battle with the Rockies, and the WNBA Finals continue with Game 2 in Seattle.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Tuesday offers up Toronto at Baltimore, the Angels at Cleveland, the Yankees at Tampa Bay, Detroit at Texas, Oakland at Kansas City, Boston at Seattle, and Minnesota at the White Sox. Francisco Liriano (13-7, 3.24 ERA) is slated to take on John Danks (13-10, 3.54 ERA) in that Twins/ChiSox matchup. Lefthander Liriano beat the Royals in his last trip to the mound, giving up just two runs on seven hits over his seven innings of work. Minnesota is 9-1 in Liriano’s last 10 starts. Lefthander Danks was beaten by the Tigers last time out, surrendering five runs (two earned) on eight hits over six innings. Chicago has won two of Danks’ last eight outings.

Over in the National League on Tuesday it’s then Philadelphia at Florida, Pittsburgh at the Mets, Arizona at Cincinnati, Washington at Atlanta, Milwaukee at Houston, the Cubs at St. Louis, the Dodgers at San Francisco, and San Diego at Colorado. The Padres are expected to send Jon Garland (13-11, 3.52 ERA) to the mound in that last matchup, while the Rockies counter with Jason Hammel (10-7, 4.34 ERA). Righthander Garland lost his third straight start last time out against the Giants, giving up six runs on eight hits over his five innings of work. Righthander Hammel settled for a no-decision against the Reds in his most recent start, allowing five runs on eight hits through seven innings.

GodsTips: True we are 14-6 with all football Wise Guys going back to preseason, but there is so much money to continue to be made betting baseball. As far as we are concerned, the bookmakers have been giving away money in MLB since 1986. Off a 3-1 Monday overall, including an MLB sweep, we have the MLB Game of the Year going Wednesday among three MLB winners. Get the Game of the Year now

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, the 2010 WNBA Finals continue on Tuesday night with Atlanta at Seattle in Game 2 of the best-of-five series. Seattle won the opener at home on Sunday afternoon, getting 26 points from Lauren Jackson in the slim 79-77 victory. Camille Little added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Storm in that win, while Sue Bird was good for 14 points. Angel McCoughtry and Iziane Castro Marques had 19 points each for Atlanta.

Sports handicappers have the picks in and Bodog has the preview.

Ray Lewis and Rex Ryan’s heated trash talk has made tonight’s Baltimore Ravens/New York Jets matchup one worth watching.

NFL Odds have listed the Jets, who will be playing at their brand new stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, as -1 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook with a listed Total of 36. Essentially telling football fans that this will be a low-scoring, back-and-forth, 60-minute bout.

In the “Away” corner you have the Ravens. A defensive juggernaut in the past, Baltimore has done their best to improve on the offensive side of the ball over the years by adding running back Ray Rice, quarterback Joe Flacco and, more recently, wideout Anquan Boldin.

Unfortunately for Baltimore, you have the defensive-minded Jets in the “Home” corner. Under Ryan the Jets should give the Ravens’ improved offense fits, especially with shutdown corner Darrelle Revis back in the lineup to put Pro Bowl WR Boldin on his “island.” What New York is lacking is a consistent offense themselves. Sophomore QB Mark Sanchez showed little promise in preseason; it may be on the running game to move the ball on Monday Night.

If the Ravens can match their 2009 average of 24.4 points per game in this contest, it could be an easy upset. The Jets are 0-6 against the spread when giving up 24 points or more.

Now to the late game preview courtesy of Bodog

With NFL Odds listing San Diego as -5.5 favorites versus Kansas City, first glance says it will be lights out for the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Not so fast. There are plenty of factors that could make for another classic Monday Night upset.

First, we’re not quite sure what we’ll see on offense from the Chargers. An elite attack in 2009, San Diego will be missing wideout Vincent Jackson and left tackle Marcus McNeil due to ugly contract disputes — two key pieces to the ‘09 offense.

Second, this is a better Chiefs offense. They added ageless running back Thomas Jones via free agency, have Charlie Weis to coach the offense and breakout RB Jamaal Charles ready to keep rolling in year two.

Third, the Chiefs are the dreaded homedog. This weekend alone four out of six homedogs covered; never underestimate the power of homefield.

If San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers — with the help of first-round rookie runner Ryan Matthews — can move the ball like  last year, it should be business as usual. If there’s trouble with the blindside and stretching the field, it could look something like the perplexing Cowboys/Redskins game on Sunday Night Football.

Vegas scores and odds free pick Monday is on the Ravens says Matt Rivers. They are getting 1.5 to the NY Jets on ESPN Monday Night Football.

Matt Rivers, who was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a Jets fan but whenever much is expected from the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets things seem to snowball in the wrong direction. Rex Ryan’s defense is legit and lights out. Darrelle Revis is insanely great and the team will not allow many points to anybody including Joe Flacco and the Ravens. But Marc Sanchez is just not good and will wind up being the Achilles heel for the men in green.

Top NFL handicappers say that the New York signal caller has shown flashes in small doses and was very good in the playoff game at Indianapolis last season but I have watched him way too many times to believe in the guy. Sanchez is just not very good and not close to Joe Flacco. Yes it’s true that the Baltimore defense is a shell of itself without Ed Reed but Ray Lewis is still around and even if the secondary is banged up I don’t see the former USC QB being able to take advantage. If anything he is going to try and squeeze stuff in there thinking that he can and watch it backfire on him with a couple of turnovers.

The Ravens have a blossoming stud in Ray Rice who may not dominate the New York defense but he will continue to grind away and eventually in a well-played and low scoring game I just see these visitors coming out with the victory.

Flacco, Rice, Boldin and Ray Lew, banged up or not, may be the best team in the AFC and even on the road have my vote today.

The pick: Baltimore Ravens +1.5

Vegas scores and odds for the NFL are up for football point spread picks and predictions on the San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs.

The offshore sportsbook point spread and Las Vegas betting odds are the Chargers -4.5 to 5.

Over/under trends: Over is 9-1 in Chargers last 10 games in September, over 5-1 grass, over 21-9-3 last 33 road games. Over is 15-5-2 in Chiefs last 22 home games, but under 4-1 in week 1.

Top expert pick on this game: Oh it’s on the total and from professional gambling syndicate ScoresOddsPicks. The pro gamblers continued the domination yesterday.

Top expert pick on this game: It’s from the top NFL handicapper ever, GodsTips. America’s Greatest will spend a moment bemoaning Mike Vick not scampering into the endzone when he has a chance, but still we improve to 13-6 going back to preseason with NFL and CFB Wise Guy plays.
