As far as betting trends, all records against the spread:
The Cardinals’ smallest margin of victory has been 12 points, but NIU has not lost by more than four. Their three losses were by a combined 11 points. In fact, they have never trailed by more than 11 points this season.
Neither team has played a tough schedule.
The Huskies have yet to beat a team with a winning mark. Their last four games were against teams a combined 11-23 straight up. For those who bet quarters, note that the Cardinals have scored just six points combined in the first quarter of their last three games and NIU has a better defense than each of those teams according to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com

The Rest of the Schedule
It’s a slow night around the National Hockey League on Wednesday, with just three games on the schedule:
News from the Wire
The Browns have seen enough of quarterback Derek Anderson for now – he’ll be benched in favor of Brady Quinn this week . . . Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky has a sprained thumb, giving newly-signed Daunte Culpepper an even better chance of starting this week . . . Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left Monday night’s game with a shoulder injury, leaving it to backup Byron Leftwich to finish up the victory.
A Peek at the Future
There are only two games on the NBA’s schedule for Thursday night: Philadelphia at Orlando, and Houston at Portland . . . No. 23 Maryland is a 3.5-point road underdog against Virginia Tech in college football action on Thursday, while No. 11 TCU is favored by 2.5 points against No. 10 Utah . . . the first round of the CFL playoffs will take place on Saturday, with Edmonton at Winnipeg, and British Columbia at Saskatchewan.
No. 1 Sports Handicapper Proves to Have Great Political Acumen
It wasn’t the television networks, the Portland Press Herald, Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus Dispatch, Dayton Daily News, Atlanta Journal Constitution, or Raleigh New and Observer who projected Barack Obama the winner first.
It was the nation’s best sports and political handicapper, Joe Duffy of GodsTips, who nailed the results. The final electoral map and popular vote tally are incomplete, but Duffy’s ability to handicap politics is surpassed only by his sports betting expertise.
Now that the McCain concession speech and the Barack Obama acceptance speech have made it official, politicos turn their attention to the Al Franken-Norm Coleman final tabulation, the Ted Stevens election, California Prop 8 results, and more.
The political betting odds will quiet down briefly, but no doubt the sportsbooks will post proposition bets on anything from who gets inauguration day 2009 tickets, what color will Michelle Obama’s dress be at the inauguration, who will be in the Obama cabinet other than Rahm Emanuel, and even which papers make the front page of Newseum.
Gold Sheet, Sports Reporter, Northcoast Sports Tip Sheet
Our sports handicappers are often asked about the value of tip sheets.
For football handicapping they have some value as a starting point. Sports Reporter, the Gold Sheet and Northcoast are among the best and Doctor Bob has some good technical angles but I still rate them light years behind the hometown newspapers.
First of all the hometown papers have writers who cover the team full-time and specialize. Secondly the tip sheets still make a lot of money from their hard copy publications. This requires early week deadlines as they don’t have the circulation efficiency of the daily rags to get their publication to the newsstands within hours of going to press.
OffshoreInsiders.com believes the tout sheets have their place, and have value for midweek bullet points, but a quality handicapper has so many other more ripely and particularized informants.
