Free Football Pick: Mississippi State vs. Louisiana State

Today’s winner is a free pick from handicapper Matt Rivers the latest addition to the arsenal of world class handicappers at the top sports handicapping site OffshoreInsiders.com.

Matt says to go with Mississippi State plus 13 vs. LSU at BetUs Sportsbook.
 
Of course the LSU Tigers are the far more talented team when compared with Mississippi State but the Bulldogs are an improving program after the departure of Sylvester Croom and at home should be able to play some stout defense and compete today.
 
The Bayou Bengals are a perfect 3-0 so far on the season but if you dive into the games they really have not been all that impressive. I guess after Washington’s shocker of USC the win in Corvallis does look better for Les Miles’ squad but all in all these guys are really not a team that I fear all that much. The athleticism is there as usual with Jordan Jefferson running the show but the Quarterback is still a bit raw and mistake prone and on the road here laying a few touchdowns in conference is a bit steep. JJ hasn’t thrown for over 200 yards yet in a game and that can certainly signal problems in a situation such as this against a dangerous enough State defense at home that can get after it a bit.
 
Mississippi State has been an improving program over the past few seasons. They are no longer the doormat of the SEC and most of the nation and we saw another indication of that last week as they went on the road and won at Vanderbilt against a solid Commodores squad. No I can’t explain the bludgeoning the Bulldogs took in the end at Auburn a few weeks ago but I can tell you that they were winning outright with a few minutes to go in the first half and then seemed to just play about 34 minutes of bad football which I guess can happen on the road like that. Plus Auburn has gotten a tremendous amount better themselves and at home are going to be able to beat up a lot of incoming visitors and on that day State played that role.
 
Dan Mullen isn’t going to have his team do anything too crazy today. Miss. State will run the ball and use that two Quarterback rotation with both Lee and Relf and attempt to shorten the game aginst the Tigers. There will be a lot of pounding and hitting and ugly football in this thing which is fine with me.
 
Running and defense, running and defense! Projected final score: 19-16 LSU.

Lack of takeaways will burn Dolphins again; Rivers and Co. will light the skies

Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers

Sunday, September 27 at 4:15 p.m. ET

Online sports betting line: Chargers -6

The Chargers, who were supposed to run away with the AFC West, find themselves trailing the Broncos two weeks into the season. San Diego’s defense let it down last week after allowing 31 points to the Ravens, and there’s more bad news coming—nose tackle Jamal Williams was placed on injury reserve with a triceps injury, meaning he’ll miss the rest of the season. Williams was a major key to San Diego’s run defense. The team could also afford to strike up a bigger pass rush; the Chargers have just two sacks thus far and former stalwart Shawne Merriman has yet to reach the quarterback. It’s questionable whether he can ever return to his 2005-07 form.

Quarterback Philip Rivers had a career day with 436 passing yards against Baltimore, but he also hurt San Diego’s cause with a pair of interceptions. Rivers will be leaned on heavily this season, as the Chargers running game shows no signs of life. The Bolts have just 130 rushing yards at just 3.0 yards per carry. With LaDainian Tomlinson now hurt (and looking like a shell of his former self anyway) and center Nick Hardwick out until December, room for improvement looks bleak.

The Dolphins are reeling after an 0-2 start and they desperately need a win on NFL Week 3 odds. A brilliant effort by Ronnie Brown (136 yards, two scores) was wasted in last week’s loss to the Colts, but at least it proved the Wild Cat offense still has some gas left in the thank. Either way, Chad Pennington needs to make a few more plays and Ted Ginn needs to hold onto the football. Statistically, Ginn had a good game last week but a case of the drops really hurt his squad.

After failing to record a takeaway in the first two games, Miami’s defense leaves much to be desired. Part of the problem is lack of pressure on the passer. The Dolphins need to put some heat on opposing quarterbacks to force mistakes. It doesn’t take sports betting software to realize that by losing the turnover battle every week, their chances of repeating last season’s double-digit win total are slim to none.

While the situation in San Diego sounds disasterous, this is still one of the deepest, most talented teams in the NFL. The passing game will obviously become more a focal point and someone must step up in Williams’ abscene, but there’s still more than enough pieces there to win the AFC West—and more than enough pieces to cover against the Dolphins in your NFL bet. Miami has been burned by good quarterbacks in two straight weeks (Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning), and they’ve made it look easy because of no turnovers. Make it 3-3 with Rivers joining the mix.

Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Now a Part of OffshoreInsiders.com

The top sports handicappers site OffshoreInsiders.com has made an announcement that will rock the sports betting world: Matt Rivers, the winningest handicapper on a large network of websites, has made the leap to the best handicapping site in American sports OffshoreInsiders.com.

OffshoreInsiders.com CEO Joe Duffy is ecstatic, releasing a statement:

From the day I started OffshoreInsiders.com, I made the vow that our business model would always have one Golden Rule: we would compile the best handicappers in the business and the superior product would market itself.

Matt Rivers is somebody who we have sought out for a long time as he is on the very short list of professional handicappers who wins long-term. “Matt Rivers” is a name virtually every professional bettor recognizes, respects, and bets his plays.

For those who have not heard of Rivers, here is his impressive resume:

Matt Rivers has been working as a Handicapper as long as some people have been alive. He was the top rated Capper for years at a previous outlet and left for a new challenge once again proving he is the best in the business, bar none!
 
Matt received a Bachelor of Arts from a top 20 college,
Emory University in Atlanta, and has worked at two major television networks covering both pro and college sports. A thorough knowledge of the sports world combined with personal gambling experience along with years of professional handicapping has helped mold Mr. Rivers into the rock solid consistent winner that he is today.
 
“I know it’s impossible to win 75% of the time like some handicappers say they do. That’s just not possible. Bottom line, there are a ton of liars in this industry and I have literally seen this first hand from rivals as well as former colleagues” Matt says. “There are so many shysters out there looking to just make a quick buck that it gives the handicapping industry a bad name.”
 
”I want to assure each and every one of you reading this page that I don’t put my name on a play without playing it myself. That is a cold hard fact. I get down in the trenches with my clients”.
 
Matt’s goal is to isolate the few plays a week that have either been overlooked by the oddsmakers, have “wrong” lines because the price was set to create “even money”, or have “bad numbers” because the public is betting the game in the wrong direction. “Sometimes a team that is getting three points is actually the better team and should be laying the three,” Matt says.  “That is what value is all about.”
 
“I love to tell remind potential clients of when Oklahoma and Florida State played for the national championship a few years ago. Oklahoma was the better team, flat out. But all of the hype was on the sexy team, Florida State, and gamblers seemed to forget about the ridiculously strong Sooner D.
 
“Remember, once again, when the oddsmaker makes the line all he wants is even action on both sides; he doesn’t really care if he is off by 50 points. As long as he accomplishes his mission then it’s all good.
 
“Because the public loved the swagger and hype the ‘Noles brought to the table, the books knew this and jacked them up to a touchdown favorite. But Oklahoma was the better team, so what does that tell you? You just received a present, a free 7 to 10 points. Also realize that more times than not those huge games are not even the ones with value as Joe Q. Oddsmaker knows more about them than they do in contests featuring such powerhouses as Middle Tennessee State and Utah State.
 
“Personally, I buried three separate books with that Championship game,” Matt adds. “One has to realize that the oddsmakers are definitely very good at their job but they are Human and do make numerous mistakes.”
 
Matt does not attempt to fool anyone and claim these betting situations happen everyday. But they do occur every week, especially with a slate of 70 college and pro football games, or 90 college basketball games. And finding those games is how Matt, and his clients, ALWAYS make money.

His plays have been released previously for free as part of any premium purchase. They were:
