The National Football League rolls out its third week of action on Sunday,
with marquee games in Philadelphia
and Green Bay. Here’s a look in
today’s Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Eagles lost a tough game against the Cowboys in Week 2, so they’ll try
to bounce back this week by knocking their state rivals from Pittsburgh
for a loss. The Eagles and Steelers will clash at 4:15pm ET at Lincoln Financial Field, with Philly pegged
as a 3.5-point home favorite (and the total at 45). Despite their loss last
week the Eagles are still 2-0 ATS on the season, while unbeaten Pittsburgh
is just 1-1 ATS over two contests.

The Cowboys aim to follow up their win over Philadelphia
with another victory against a big-time NFC team – the Packers. Aaron Rodgers
and company will play host to Tony Romo and the ‘Boys
starting at 8:15pm ET at Lambeau
Field on Sunday night, with Dallas
listed as a 3-point road favorite. Both the Cowboys and Packers are 2-0 to
start the season, with Green Bay
covering twice, and Dallas only
covering in one victory.

The Handicapper’s Report Card

No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy’s GodsTips does the
NFL. But they are far from the only elite sports handicapping service that
will win big time again on Sunday. Check out where the NFL
expert picks are for week 3 betting against the spread.

Other Notable Events

The NFL’s byes don’t start until next week, so that means every team is in
action once again in Week 3. The Patriots will look to stay on a roll behind
Matt Cassel when they host the lowly Dolphins in a 1:00pm ET contest; they’re 12.5-point home
favorites. As well, the Colts will be looking to keep the rival Jaguars winless
when they host them at Lucas Oil Stadium at 4:15pm
ET; Indy has been listed as a 5.5-point home favorite.

Making up the rest of the NFL’s Sunday schedule: Oakland
at Buffalo (-9.5), Tampa
Bay at Chicago
(-3), Houston at Tennessee
(-4.5), Carolina at Minnesota
(-3), Cincinnati at the Giants
(-13), Arizona at Washington
(-3), Detroit at San
Francisco (-4), St. Louis
at Seattle (-9.5), New
Orleans at Denver
(-5.5), and Cleveland at Baltimore
(-2). As well, the least interesting game of the entire day has Kansas
City taking on Atlanta
(-6).

Meanwhile, the Sprint Cup Series will stage their second playoff event on
Sunday, the Camping World RV 400 presented by AAA at Dover International
Speedway. Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards sit tied atop the standings heading
into this race, and they’re at 5/1 and 9/2 odds to visit victory lane. Kyle
Busch, who fell to eighth in the standings with a poor result last weekend, is
also pegged at 9/2 odds to take the checkered flag.

The Rest of the Schedule

Yankee Stadium closes on Sunday night with a matchup between Baltimore’s
Chris Waters (3-3, 4.75 ERA) and New York’s
Andy Pettitte (13-14, 4.57 ERA). The rest of the American League’s slate:
Detroit at Cleveland, Boston at Toronto, Minnesota at Tampa Bay, the White Sox
at Kansas City, the Angels at Texas, and Seattle at Oakland.

The race for the final NL playoff spots continues on Sunday, with Milwaukee
at Cincinnati, Philadelphia
at Florida, and the Mets at Atlanta.
Rounding out the National League schedule: Houston at Pittsburgh, San Diego at Washington, St. Louis at the
Cubs, Arizona at Colorado, and San Francisco at the Dodgers.

Finally, there are two WNBA playoff games on the
Sunday slate – Indiana at Detroit, and Los Angeles at Seattle – while the CFL offers up Edmonton at Montreal (-3).

NFL

Seattle-St. Louis UNDER 44

St. Louis has averaged less than
14 points per game in their last six. Seattle
would have had a good offense, but the unit they are putting on the field is
horrible. I could start at wideout for Seattle.

They already lost six receivers due to injury, including Nate
Burleson, Ben Obomanu and Logan Payne for the season.
Veterans Deion Branch and Bobby Engram have yet to
play, and are not expected to return until after the bye week later this month.
Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace – pressed into service as a receiver – will
miss the next month after injuring his calf last week during pre-game warmups.

Of all units in the NFL, the one that is clearly better than their stats is Seattle’s
defense, which features 11 returning starters and four Pro Bowlers. Of course,
yes our Golden Rule applies how amazing it is when allegedly great defenses
turn out to not be so good when they are on the field.

However, the Rams don’t have the talent to exploit that and in fact with
Steven Jackson now rid of the rust, we look for the
Rams to go full ball control.

Fantasy football players and football bettors alike don’t
make a move until they read this NFL injury report from the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com

Early games

Panthers-Vikings

Adrian Peterson, the superstar running back of the Vikings
is considered a game time decision with a hamstring injury. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says his staff will
monitor ESPN television and radio, the Panthers and Vikings pre-game shows and
sundry other sources and update anything new as it comes in on said site.

Ancient QB Gus Frerotte takes over for incompetent
Tarvaris Jackson for the Vikings. Vikings WR Sidney Rice is questionable.

Buccaneers-Bears

Chicago’s
return man extraordinaire Devin Hester is probable but may not be 100 percent. Everyone
knows that GodsTips is the top football betting
picks service in America.
They have 10 winners for Sunday including a Wise Guy.

Texans-Titans

With always injured Ahman Green out for Houston,
the Texans will start rookie Steve Slaton at RB. Remember, Hurricane Ike
postponed the Texans game last week, but in their only game so far Slaton got
43 yards on 13 carries and also caught three passes.

The rookie goes up against a defense allowing just 60.5
rushing yards per game. Tennessee WR Justin Gage is a game time decision and is
considered doubtful.

Raiders-Bills

Rookie RB Darren McFadden is expected to play with a toe
injury. With Justin Fargas out, he will be counted in more than in the first
two games.

Late games

Browns-Ravens

Browns WR Braylon Edwards is questionable. Edwards already
has five drops in two games. Also for Cleveland,
OG Eric Steinbach and LB Willie McGinest are doubtful. WR Donte Stallworth, who has yet to make his Browns debut because of
a quadriceps injury, is questionable.

Steelers-Eagles

Two-time Pro Bowl G Shawn Andrews is doubtful for the Eagles.
WR Reggie Brown is probable after missing the first two games. However, he may
not start.

Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers QB, starts despite
various shoulder issues. Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that
injury is ever the more reason to expect the conservative approach of the Bill
Cowher days are back and here to stay.

Jaguars-Colts

Jacksonville WR Jerry Porter is doubtful. Acquired in the
offseason to be their big play option, Porter has yet to play for Jacksonville.
They will also be minus LB Justin Durant, WR Troy Williamson, C Brad Meester, and G Chris Naeole.

However RBs Fred Taylor and
Maurice Jones-Drew, as well as S Brian Williams will play. Indianapolis
is without CB Bob Sanders, considered by many to be their most valuable player
on defense.

Night

Cowboys-Packers

The Packers will enter pretty healthy as RB Ryan Grant and
CB Charles Woodson are probable. Only S Atari Bigby
is likely to miss this game for the Pack.

The Connecticut Huskies host the Baylor Bears and OffshoreInsiders.com has
the official preview for sports
betting and college football spread picks. Sportsbooks have UConn as a 12-point
favorite and a total of 51.

Each team is 1-1 against the spread with both playing a
non-lined game. This is Baylor’s first road game, but no look-ahead as they
have a bye next week. After getting smashed by Wake
Forest in week 1, they disposed of Northwestern
State and Washington
State by combined 96-23.

Connecticut
is 3-0 including a win at rebuilt Temple
and by 35 to Virginia. They are
averaging 40 points in two home games, while allowing 7.3.

The Huskies are led by eight returning starters on defense
from last year’s Big East title. Baylor has been buoyed by Robert Griffin
entering the line-up at QB, but it’s an understatement to say this is his
biggest test in his young career so far. He rushed for 217 yards and threw for
129 to Washington State.

Connecticut
is also led by a Young Turk in Donald Brown II. He rushed for 206 yards and
caught five passes against Virginia.
He has rushed for more than 800 yards in his first two seasons, but Bob Warner
of Lines-Maker.com has close contact
with several NFL draft gurus who tell him this appears to be Brown’s breakout
year.

Baylor winning on the moneyline at BetUs Sportsbook would be
a huge upset. Connecticut has won
nine straight home games, while Baylor has one road win the last two years. The
UConn Huskies margin of victory in the nine games is 20.8 points per game.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that
Baylor QB Griffin is similar to South Florida’s Matt
Grothe and West Virginia’s Pat
White, so the Huskies experienced defense is not entering uncharted waters.

Here are some spread records, all against the spread.
Baylor is 5-0 off straight up win of 20 or more points and 9-2 after allowing
less than 20 points last game. On the other hand, they are 9-24 off spread wins
and 3-14 against teams with a winning record.

The Huskies are 28-12 outside the Big East, but 2-9 after
getting more than 200 yards rushing last game. They have dropped four straight
against teams with a winning record.

The Bears have exceeded the total in 8-of-10 road games
while the Huskies have gone under the sportsbook
total 7-1 off a win of 20 or more.

From the football betting specialist at GodsTips: With Louisville
as our only Wise Guy plays this week, we are already ahead in winning week
number 7-of-8 in football. We have tonight’s Baylor-Connecticut burial and will
have yet another sensational weekend. Our Wise Guy record for the year is 26-13
in football including five straight winners. Click now to

It’s time for the official bettor’s preview of tonight’s West
Virginia and Colorado
battle. Sportsbooks have West
Virginia a three-point favorite with a total of 56.5.

The road favorite West Virginia
can certainly be beaten. East Carolina held Heisman
candidate QB Pat White to 72 yards passing and 97 rushing.

While Colorado
is 2-0 straight up, they needed a late pick six to defeat Eastern
Washington 31-24. West Virginia
is allowing 392.5 yards per game. However, they will get back a key player
tonight, MLB Reed Williams. How good is he? He was last year’s leading tackler
and MVP in the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.

WR Wes Lyons will also likely play for the Mountaineers. West
Virginia will face their toughest test defensively
against the pass says ScoresOddsPicks.com’s Brian Gould.

Who has the big plays for football betting? GodsTips, the
anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com,
yet again starts out the week with a winner. Louisville
was a Wise Guy. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by
high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest
play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact. 

GodsTips says: All we do is win. We
have yet another winner up tonight on West Virginia-Colorado. A Wise Guy on Louisville
means we are 26-13 with football Wise Guy plays this year after dominating like
a banshee last season. Click now to

Now let’s take a peak at some betting trends, all against
the spread: West Virginia is
26-11 if they gained 125 or less passing yards last game and 5-1 off ATS loss.

Colorado is
13-27 after allowing 75 or less rushing yards last game and 7-19 if they
allowed more than 280 yards passing last game.

As far as over/under NCAA trends, West
Virginia has exceeded the posted total at a 13-3 rate
off a loss of 20 or more. They’ve gone under 19-7 on the road versus teams with
a winning home record.

The Buffalos have gone over five straight after allowing
more than 280 yards passing last game, but under 10-2 outside the conference.

A single college football game shares the spotlight with baseball’s pennant
races on Wednesday, while golf prepares for the Ryder Cup. Here’s your Daily
Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Louisville will host Kansas
State on Wednesday night, with the
Wildcats looking to run their record to 3-0 after blasting lesser opponents in
their first two games of the season. The Wildcats began the year with an easy
45-6 win over North Texas, and they then rolled past Montana
State 69-10 in their second outing.
The Cardinals started their season with a 27-1 loss versus Kentucky
before beating up on Tennessee Tech 51-10.

The oddsmakers opened the Big 12’s Kansas
State as 3-point favorites against
the Big East’s Louisville (college
football odds
, and that line increased to four points early in the week. The total for the
game is sitting at 56 points, and kickoff is set for 8:00pm ET on Wednesday night.
