Sunday Rundown

Brett Favre and the Jets are the biggest favorite on the board for Week 8 of the National Football League season. Bettors already found out who to bet on to rip the Vegas spread in the NFL. Here’s a look at the matchups in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Jets have had a middling start to the 2008 campaign – they’re just 3-3 both straight-up and against-the-spread. Still, that’s good enough to have them pegged as 13.5-point home favorites against the sputtering Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. Kansas City is just 1-5 (2-4 ATS) on the season, and they’ll have to make due without their top two quarterbacks and running back Larry Johnson on Sunday. The total is listed at 39 points.

The other big favorites on Sunday are the Texans, who are favored by 9.5 points at home against Cincinnati, and the Eagles, who are favored by 9 points at home against Atlanta. As well, the Chargers are pegged as 3-point favorites in their game against the Saints in London, and the Cowboys are favored by just 2.5 over the visiting Buccaneers.

Rounding out the NFL’s Sunday schedule: Washington (-7.5) at Detroit, Buffalo (-1.5) at Miami, St. Louis at New England (-7), Oakland at Baltimore (-7), Arizona at Carolina (-4), Cleveland at Jacksonville (-7), and the Giants at Pittsburgh (-3). Also, the Niners and their new head coach are listed as 5-point home favorites against the fading Seahawks.

Other Notable Events

It’s Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night, as the Rays and Phillies play the second of their three games in Philadelphia. Tampa Bay is slated to go with Andy Sonnanstine in this one; the righthander held the Red Sox to three earned runs over 7 1-3 innings in his ALCS outing. Penciled in for the Phillies is Joe Blanton, who allowed three earned runs on seven hits over five innings in his NLCS start against the Dodgers.

The Rest of the Schedule

There’s a single college football game on the Sunday schedule, with Central Florida at No. 22 Tulsa. The 7-0 (5-1 ATS) Golden Hurricane are coming off a 77-35 pounding of UTEP, and they’re listed as big 23.5-point favorites against Central Florida at the sportsbooks. The Knights (2-4, 2-2-1 ATS) fell 20-14 to Miami last time out, and have lost four of their past five.

The Sprint Cup Series will stage the Pep Boys Auto 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, with standings leader Jimmie Johnson pegged at 7/1 odds to take the checkered flag. Johnson leads Greg Biffle (8/1 this weekend) by 149 points in the standings, and Jeff Burton (18/1) by 152 points. Carl Edwards, who is now 198 points back of first place, is pegged as the 5/1 favorite to get the victory in Atlanta on Sunday.

Finally, the Canadian Football League wraps up Week 18 of its schedule with Winnipeg at Montreal on Sunday afternoon. The Alouettes (11-5, 10-6 ATS) are listed as big 9.5-point home favorites in this Eastern matchup against the Bombers (6-10, 5-10-1 ATS).

A Peek at the Future

It’ll be Indianapolis at Tennessee in tomorrow’s Monday Night Football matchup, with the Titans listed as 4-point home favorites. Tennessee is 6-0 both straight-up and against-the-spread on the season, while Indianapolis is 3-3 and 2-4 ATS heading into this divisional battle . . . the World Series continues on Monday night with the Rays playing Game 5 in Philadelphia. The set would then shift back to Tampa for Game 6.
