The NFL lockout has finally ended.  To celebrate,  OffshoreInsiders.com has released an Early Bird special by their anchor sports service, Joe Duffy’s GodsTips.

Duffy believes the NFL lockout provides a rare once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for bettors. “One of our Golden Rules of handicapping is that the oddsmakers despise uncertainty.”

He continues, “whatever is bad for the oddsmaker is great for the sharp player.”  He and all the OffshoreInsiders.com sports services will be scouring the online newspapers and respected websites for player rotations, motivational factors, and more.

Duffy says the more established teams such as the New England Patriots will likely not be able to match the sense of urgency as teams rebuilding such as the Seattle Seahawks.  Regardless, “the key metrics will be very fluid on a game-by-game basis making the 2011 NFL preseason the biggest gap in history between the sharp and square player.”

The prosperity will continue into the regular season because, according to Duffy, “the public will overreact to early season anomalies more than ever” forcing the sportsbooks to inflate NFL betting lines.

Sports bettors get every GodsTips football pick in the Early Bird Special: NFL and NCAA football, preseason, regular, and postseason through BCS Championship and Super Bowl. This is an Early Bird price limited time offer for just $1,499 covering the full season.

The package includes all football picks. An “all sports” package will be available at the beginning of NFLX.

Duffy is a long-time veteran in sports betting picks. Duffy got his start in the industry as a scorephone announcer for Dial Sports, where he learned the industry under Mickey Charles, a pioneer handicapping writer and broadcaster.

He then moved to the free scorephones, then known as Sportsline, where he studied under NFL legends turned handicappers Hank Stram and Roy Scott. Stram is an NFL Hall-of-Fame coach and Scott was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall-of-Fame.

Duffy established himself has a scorephone handicapping legend on the Cadillac Club 900-number back in the late 1980s.

His picks are now available exclusively at OffshoreInsiders.com, where he is known as the “NFL Specialist.”

The Crew Plays keep winning. Yesterday, the wunderkinds told you that the Tony Parker injury created a dream for bettors and that’s why it was the All Sports Best Bet of the Week.

There are some special motivational reasons why tonight’s Texas A&M at Kansas game is one that must be exploited. This game isn’t close when it comes to the coaching staff recently, motivation, depth and won’t be close spreadwise. Find out why. Oh and a nice analysis on the Connecticut at West Virginia game in which the Crew Plays exploit a soft line there.

The MasterLockLine has the top plays from the top sports services in their highest ranked sports. Today’s menu is a historic one.

It is very rare when two Top 5 services have a Game of the Year in the same day, but it happens today.

Las Vegas service is No. 1 for 2010-11 season in college basketball and also No. 1 the last two seasons combined. Their highest ranked plays are “four weight,” though both three and four-weight plays are hitting above 68 percent the last two years. Four Weight NCAAB Play of the Year SMU/Central Florida

Service out the Hampton Roads finished No. 1 this year in college and pro football combined in 2010-11. Stats are out of 620 services and syndicates monitored, rankings based on total net units won based on one-unit per play. Though every play wins at a remarkable rate, their highest rated are 10-Dime Plays and they are on fire in college basketball, hitting seven straight. Since Dec. 27, they are 42-20. Two 10-Dime NCAAB plays today Cincinnati/Marquette, Maryland/Miami Florida

The No. 3 overall service 2010-11 has hit all five of their all-time “College Basketball Whale Winner of the Year” plays. It’s their top play of the college basketball season on Tulsa/Rice

Kal Elner is without any question the top small college basketball and football handicapper ever. Almost nobody disputes that. Big West Game of the Year Long Beach State/Cal Riverside

From ScoresOddsPicks.com is a preview of Pittsburgh and Utah. The big play on this game is from Big Red. It’s the strongest game on college football schedule tonight for sure.

The No. 15 Pittsburgh Panthers are hoping for a big season—possibly even a BCS Bowl appearance if all goes according to plan. The schedule certainly doesn’t have any breaks early on, though, as the Panthers are underdogs on college football odds to open the season; Utah is favored by 2.5 points in this match up.

No. 15 Pittsburgh at Utah (-2.5) – Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET (Versus)

Despite winning 10 games last year, it was a large disappointment for Pittsburgh; the team settled for a victory over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Everything fell apart in the season finale, when Pitt blew a 21-point lead to Cincinnati. Now, though, the Panthers are optimistic they have what it takes to get it done.

Dion Lewis is the centerpiece of the offense. He exploded for 1799 yards and 17 touchdowns as a freshman, and he’ll be the bell cow once again. The big-play threat might have to do a lot of the work by himself, though, as the line is inexperienced. The quarterback situation also isn’t particularly sound, with both Tino Sunseri and Pat Bostick vying for time. Lewis and receiver Jonathan Baldwin are being counted on to have massive seasons.

Pittsburgh’s defense features two dynamite ends in Greg Romeus and Jabaal Sheard. Their play will be crucial against Utah’s spread offense. The line is breaking in two new defensive tackles but there’s enough depth here to get the job done.

Quarterback Jordan Wynn didn’t start a ton of games for Utah last season but, when he did, he was fantastic, averaging about 250 yards per game. Now a sophomore, he’s poised to lead Utah’s spread offense to the next level. The Utes have a fine power running game to compliment the pass, led by Eddie Wide (1069 yards last year). Matt Asiata, who was penciled in as the starter ahead of Wide last season, is also back in the mix.

Utah has two solid defensive tackles in Sealver Siliga and Dave Kruger, which should help at least slow Dion Lewis. The ends are solid too, making for a formidable front. The defensive backs are the real weak spot, though Pitt probably won’t throw the ball a ton on Thursday.

Both teams are gearing up for what they hope are breakthrough seasons. Lewis is a superstar in the making and, while Utah has a great line to slow him down, the running back will still draw plenty of attention. That will allow Baldwin to run free, much like he did last year en route to 1111 yards and eight scores.

Top expert pick on this game: The biggest outlaw book in the southeast is “Catfish Parker”. He also is in constant contact with his colleagues from around the nation. Nobody has a better pulse on where “outlaw money” is going. At 4:03 ET he says there is big, big time local strong “local” money (not tracked by offshore or Vegas books) on the Pittsburgh-Utah national TV side.

Yesterday, we discussed common NFL betting player props like predicting the NFL’s yardage leaders in passing, receiving and rushing. Today’s let’s look at a different kind of prop: head-to-head player props.

These props pit two players (usually at the same position) against each other; bettors can predict who will outperform the other in a specific stat category. Here’s a look at some NFL quarterback touchdown pass head-to-heads for 2010 – with a sports betting blog pick included for each.

Aaron Rodgers vs Drew Brees (-3)

As much as Drew Brees racks up offensive numbers, Aaron Rodgers looks like he’s just as good. Brees threw for 34 scores last season; he’s hit that mark two years in a row, setting a career high. But whereas it took Brees until his seventh NFL season as a starter to throw 30 TD passes, Rodgers did it in his second. Rodgers appears to have a higher ceiling. I think he’ll top Brees this year.

Free pick: Rodgers +3

Peyton Manning (-5) vs Tony Romo

Love Romo on this one. Manning and Romo already posted fairly comparable passing stats last year. This season, Romo is playing in the best offense he’s ever had around him. Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones, Dez Bryant, Marion Barber, Roy Williams – he has tons of viable weapons. I think Romo will explode into MVP consideration this year, so staying within five touchdown passes of Manning seems very doable.

Free pick: Romo +5

Jay Cutler vs Tom Brady (-2.5)

Sports betting players should be careful not to overthink this one. Yes, Cutler should have a breakout season under new offensive co-ordinator “Mad” Mike Maritz. But I see that translating into mega passing yards, not mega touchdowns. Cutler will still turn over the ball too much to pass the far more efficient Brady in touchdown passes.

Free pick: Brady -2.5

Brett Favre vs Matt Schaub (-2)

I’m somewhat bearish on Favre this year. He’s another year older and two of his favorite targets, Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin, are major health concerns. Rice is already out at least half the season with hip surgery and Harvin hasn’t solved his migraine woes yet. Favre could regress statistically whereas Matt Schaub, who led the NFL in passing yards last year, is only getting better.

Free pick: Schaub -2

Oh baby, Bodog has the college football lines up for week one. They also preview the Pac-10.

Oregon is the favorite on NCAA football odds in the Pac-10 this season. Can USC get back on track after losing head coach Pete Carroll to the NFL? This is our Pac-10 Conference overview.

The Ducks have 5/2 odds to earn the Pac-10 title. Oregon is loaded on offense, particularly with an impressive offensive line, but the defense leaves a bit to be desired. And while USC couldn’t prevent Carroll from leaving, it should be able to prevent offenses from moving the ball; the Trojans (8/1 Pac-10 odds) might have the best “D” in the conference.

Oregon State is also expected to contend with 3/1 odds to win the Pac-10. An electric running game should power the Beavers this season. The Washington Huskies, meanwhile, are interesting value picks with 9/2 odds and potential NFL star Jake Locker back under center.

Get your NCAA Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook! Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s expert take: Oregon, Southern Cal, Oregon State, Arizona, and Stanford in that order, are the powerhouses. Chic team Washington is not there yet.
