Sports Picks From Best Handicappers

Potty mouthed Chase Utley may cost the television stations that broadcast the Phillies parade live, but we are ready to cost the sportsbooks, Halloween offers up something scary for sports fans – an undefeated New York Knicks team. Here’s a look at each of today’s treats (no tricks) in your Daily Sports Roundup. Forget the ghost hunters, OffshoreInsiders.com is the bookie busters and has a sensational Friday card of winners.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans might be the only undefeated team left in the NFL, but the Vegas oddsmakers still have the defending champions listed as the Super Bowl favorites. The Giants are at 4/1 odds on the championship odds chart right now, with Tennessee just behind them at 6/1 odds. The Steelers fell to the Giants on the weekend, but they’re still third at 15/2 odds to win the Super Bowl. The Cowboys then sit in fourth with 8/1 odds.

And where are the preseason favorites? Well, the Patriots opened at 5/2 odds to win the Super Bowl, but they’re now back at 14/1. The Colts have slipped from 6/1 to 12/1 over the past couple of months, while the Packers have gone from 7/1 to 16/1 since the start of the season. You want a really big tumble? The Bengals dropped from 38/1 to 5000/1.

Other Notable Events

The Knicks had very few expectations heading into the season, while the Sixers are considered a potential contender in the Eastern Conference. Still, New York came up with a 120-115 home win over Miami in their season opener on Wednesday night, while at the same time Philadelphia was falling 95-84 to Toronto at home. The Knicks and Sixers will renew divisional hostilities on Friday night when they meet up in Philadelphia.

The Stars are coming off an impressive win on Wednesday night – they chased Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom in a 4-2 home victory. Brenden Morrow scored his fourth goal of the season.

As well, there’s a single Canadian Football League game on tap for Friday, with Montreal at Edmonton.

Edmonton is pegged as a 3-point home favorite on this night, with the game’s total listed at 55 points.
