Two of the best sports services on earth have free picks
on tonight’s NFL betting and college football betting card. The free sports
service plays are on New Orleans
and Indianapolis as well as Oregon
State and Cincinnati.

First let us give word to the wise as far as betting on
sports and paying for sports handicapper selections. All professional
handicappers are proud to show off the amount of research that goes into a
pick. If a handicapper gives you no
rationale, rest assured you just paid for a coin flip.

Forensic
handicapping founder Stevie Vincent of BetOnSports360.com
says bet on the under in tonight’s New Orleans Saints versus Indianapolis
Colts. The Great One notes that New
Orleans has gone under the Vegas pointspread total 4-0
opening week. Against the betting line, they have also gone under 13-5 as an
underdog of 3.5-10 points. Indianapolis
Colts have gone under the total 7-3 opening week and under 11-5 on turf.

GodsTips.com is
going with Cincinnati getting four
points as they host Oregon State. Here is the analysis:

As we reported in our free
preview of this game, Oregon State will have their leading receiver Sammie Stroughter back for this game,
but the odds have gone way too high as a result.

The weather will benefit the Bearcats greatly and Oregon
State
must play a rare game in searing heat. Temperatures are going to be on the
mid-90s, something those Ducks don’t get much of. Plus they are adjusting their body clocks to
a new time zone.

The Bearcats have been practicing in this oppressive
weather. They come in with high hopes, off a blowout win and with a new
coaching staff.

Also the Beavers head to the road with big, big question
marks at the quarterback position. Neither Sean Canfield nor Lyle Moevao has looked impressive
either on the practice field or in their opening game to Utah. The left side of their offensive line has a
combined four starts.

This is a game if played later in the year, OSU would likely win by six or
so, but it’s too early in the year for a team as raw as Oregon State to be
heading to a new climate and time zone. The free football pick is Cincinnati
as an underdog.

Online sports betting is quite
profitable for sportsbooks because
there are so few elite sports bettors wagering on football compared to the
number squares who bet on sports. But
the professional gamblers and betting syndicates know where to go for
information and most importantly, how to use it.

Here is yet another look at the clipboard of the elite
football handicappers and sports betting services at OffshoreInsiders.com

NC State-Boston College

Harrison Beck, a Nebraska
transfer, gets the nod at starting quarterback for NC State. He led a second
half rally against Central Florida last week completing
17-of-28 passes for 207 yards. Beck was neck-to-neck with Daniel Evans in
battling for the starting job, which Evans eventually won five days before the
season. This is devastating considering the Wolfpack just lost their star
running back Toney Baker for the season.

Nebraska-Wake Forest

Wake Forest
starting quarterback Riley Skinner, a key part of last year’s Cinderella season,
is doubtful with a separated shoulder. Skinner
was hurt against Boston College.
The new starter is Brett Hodges who played well in relief going 17-for-23 with
129 yards passing, though he did throw an interception.

TCU-Texas

Horned Frogs sensational defensive end Tommy Blake, a
two-time Mountain West pick, returned to practice Sunday night. He missed TCU’s
27-0 opening week shutout of Baylor. But TCU head
coach Gary Patterson says that Blake’s status is uncertain for the game against
the Longhorns. Blake led the MWC last year with 16.5
tackles for a loss.

Missouri-Mississippi

Missouri has
won three straight in the series. Missouri’s
highly touted offense must come out of the gate quicker than they did against Illinois,
who they beat in a thriller last week. Mizzou punted
on five of their first six possessions.

California-Colorado State

The Bears will have to avoid a letdown following their
humungous home win to Tennessee.

Indiana-Western Michigan

Sportsbooks
have this game around a pick ‘em game, so note that Indiana
has won 17 in a row straight up to the MAC Conference. But only three of those games were on the
road. Dating back to last year when Kellen Lewis took
over as Hoosier quarterback, Indiana has rushed for at least 100 yards in
7-of-9 games. New head coach Bill Lynch has emphasized the run.

Notre Dame-Penn State

The embattled fighting Irish take on a Nittany Lions team
looking for revenge. The Irish may be
vulnerable as evidenced by the 33-3 shellacking at the hands of Georgia Tech.

you the edge against the Vegas odds.

The most important news is that Bodog
clients all report their new site NewBodog
has made a smooth transition and there is no interruption in service.

East Carolina-Virginia Tech

The betting line has gone up at all sportsbooks as gamblers are betting on
the emotion of the Hokies. This will be the first game for Hokie
Nation after the horrific and senseless mass murder. There will be ceremonies to honor the
innocent victims.

The pointspread winner seems so insignificant, but as Mike
Godsey of GodsTips tells us, “So-called intangible players are betting on
Virginia Tech’s emotion to be worth six to eight points.”

Arkansas State-Texas

Young Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy will be without two
of his best receivers, Billy Pittman (injury/suspension) and Jordan Shipley,
though Shipley has a small chance of playing.

Virginia-Wyoming

Not only is Virginia
traveling quite a distance, but they will face the largest opening day crown in
Wyoming history. The game sold
out Friday night. According to our Wyoming
sources, it is considered the biggest game the Pokes have hosted “in years”.

Alabama Birmingham-Michigan State

The MasterLockLine.com
has bar none the biggest sports service play on this game from the Couch
Potato. Though each team has a new coach and new starters, UAB
lost 28 seniors from a team that went 3-9 straight up. The Spartans have 13 starters back including
special teams. The Blazers lost seven of their leading 10 tacklers. UAB will play both Sam Hunt and Joseph Webb at QB.

Washington State-Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s
offensive coordinator Paul Cryst is not afraid to
throw downfield and Washington State
is breaking in two new starters at linebacker and three in the secondary. With
the new rules, note Wisconsin’s
kickoff return team struggled. However
returning kicker Taylor Mehlhaff led the Big 10 in
touchbacks last season.

Connecticut-Duke

Just as if it were a basketball game between the two, sportsbooks have a high total of 52.
That’s in no small part due to the fact the Blue Devils have 11 starters back
on offense, but several players with new roles on defense. This is a realistic
chance for Duke to end their 20-game losing streak. They take on a UConn team that is off a 4-8 year. Duke is confident
having been very competitive in losses last year to Wake
Forest, Miami
and hated rival North Carolina.

Central Florida-NC State

For those who believes games are won at the point of
attack, note that the Golden Knight’s have starters with a combined 110 career
starts on the offensive line. Compare
that to the Wolfpack’s 38. Projected starting tackle Jeraill McCuller is suspended
indefinitely. Tight end Anthony Hill is out for the year. State’s top defensive
tackle DaMario Pressley has been upgraded to probable
with a sprained elbow.

Tennessee-California

If California
does not cover the spread, it will not be because of lack of motivation. All sharp sports gamblers know it’s a big
revenge game for Cal, but last night on Sporting News Radio, Bears broadcaster Roxy Bernstein said he thinks it’s possibly the biggest
home game in California history. Speaking of California,
congratulations go out to the California (PA) Vulcans
for their 1-0 start in Division II.

Georgia Tech-Notre Dame

Almost all reliable sources agree that Demetrius Jones
will start at QB for Notre Dame or at least be the main signal caller. The
Irish, of course, must replace Brady Quinn, now with the Cleveland Browns.

Missouri-Illinois

Cy McCormick of the MasterLockLine says that among sharp Las
Vegas sports bettors and online gamblers, the
consensus “surprise team” among BCS conferences is Illinois.
“There is a lot of pressure on Missouri
in this game. I see serious upset
potential here.”

Florida International-Penn State

Look for Penn State
coach Joe Paterno to use this game to experiment. Although he has 15 starters back, only one
offensive lineman returns at his original position.

Houston-Oregon

Houston must
replace one of their best quarterbacks ever Kevin Kolb. They face a high
powered Oregon team, trying to
match points with Blake Joseph and Case Keenum
battling for the No. 1 spot. They have
thrown eight passes between them at the college football level.

Houston has
been experimenting with a new 4-2-5
defense and will likely face some no-huddle against the Ducks as they break in
an unfamiliar alignment.

Baylor-TCU

Baylor wide receiver Thomas White admits his Bears are
feeling disrespected over being 21-point underdogs.
Last year, the Bears led TCU 7-0 at halftime. Baylor
coach Guy Morriss has said he watched the game films
from last year’s matchup “about 600 times”.
Mike Godsey of GodsTips.com,
generally considered the top football handicapper in the nation said, “That
sounds like a circled game to me” referring to term used by pointspread bettors
looking for a betting edge in which one team may be more motivated for a
blowout or to keep a game close.

Colorado-Colorado State

Which team gets the best sleep? The kickoff is at 10:00 a.m. local time. Colorado
will be without a lot of projected starters. Michael Sipili,
the probable starting middle linebacker, was suspended with two reserves for
offseason fighting incidents. Last year’s starting quarterback Bernard Jackson
is out with personal issues. He was
supposed to play more of a “slash” jack-of-all-trades position this year. True
freshman Josh Smith, another likely starter, is out with a bruised kidney.

The Bears have a much more difficult schedule than a year
ago when they won 13 games but the NFC North is so weak that it will be
difficult for Chicago not to win 10 or 11 games and capture a third straight
division title. (2006 regular season records in parentheses):

CHICAGO BEARS (13-3 SU,
8-7-1 ATS): It was a memorable off-season for the Bears who
dispatched team offensive MVP Thomas Jones, took a hard line with disgruntled
LB Lance Briggs, and parted ways with troubled DT Tank Johnson. Chicago
was second in the NFL in points scored last year, although leading the league
in points off turnovers was the main reason for that success. Cedric Benson
takes over at RB for Jones with much maligned Rex
Grossman still behind center. The Bears will win with their solid defense but
the specter of just one Super Bowl loser even making the post-season in the
past six years, looms over their heads.
By the Numbers (Regular
Season, 1998-2006)
SU: 68-76
ATS: 73-64-7
HF: 19-18-1
HD: 21-13
AF: 4-4-2
AD: 28-29-4
Sportsbook Buster:
The Bears are a combined 17-2-1
ATS versus AFC West teams (San Diego,
Denver, Kansas
City, Oakland), all of whom they
play this year.
NFL Betting Angle:
Chicago is just 1-6 as a favorite
after a bye week. This year, the Bears are at Oakland
(Nov. 11) after a week off.

GREEN BAY PACKERS (8-8
SU, 7-9 ATS): First year Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s West Style
offense helped the Packers win twice as many games as the previous season but
continued improvement could be difficult to attain this year. QB Brett Favre is
still the mainstay of an offense that will miss RB Ahman Green and doesn’t have a stud at wide receiver. The
line is a work in progress. On defense, the Packers improved dramatically once
DT Cullen Jenkins moved outside, finishing in the middle of the pack (so to
speak), statistically. This is not a very good team but this is not a tough
division, either.
By the Numbers (Regular
Season, 1998-2006)
SU: 84-60
ATS: 68-72-4
HF: 29-3-1-1
HD: 4-6-1

AD: 21-18
Sportsbook Buster:
The Packers are 6-0 ATS versus the Redskins, who they play Oct. 14.
NFL Betting Angle:
Green Bay has failed to cover seven
straight games as a home underdog.

DETROIT LIONS (3-13 SU, 6-10 ATS):
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz’ system did not work well in Detroit
where a weak offensive line was responsible for the Lions finishing dead last
in the league in rushing. Head Coach Rod Marinelli
was equally disappointed by his freshly installed defensive scheme which
finished 30^th in the NFL in points allowed. Detroit
fans are hoping that a full year under the new systems will yield better
results this season and they may be right.
By the Numbers (Regular
Season, 1998-2006)
SU: 46-98
ATS: 68-73-3
HF: 11-17-1
HD: 26-16-1
AF: 0-6
AD: 31-34-1
Sportsbook Buster:
The Lions have covered five straight games against the Buccaneers, who they
play at home, Oct. 21.
NFL Betting Angle:
Detroit has proven to be a solid
home underdog and terrible home favorite over the last nine years.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (6-10
SU, 7-9 ATS): Second year Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress,
the offensive architect in Philadelphia, hopes that the addition of draft
choices RB Adrian Peterson (Oklahoma) and WR Sidney Rice (South Carolina) will improve an attack that
ranked just 26^th in scoring last season. Having Tarvaris Jackson as
your starting QB could be a problem, though. The defense lead the NFL against
the run but was last against the pass last season. A better pass rush is needed
if Minnesota is to stay ahead of Detroit
in the fight to avoid the NFC North basement.
By the Numbers (Regular
Season, 2002-2006)
SU: 79-65
ATS: 67-74-3
HF: 30-28-1

Sportsbook Buster:
The Vikings are 5-0 ATS versus the Cowboys, who they play in Dallas,
Oct. 21.

Minnesota is a bad road team ATS,
especially as an away favorite.

Granted, New Orleans
isn’t going to surprise anyone this year but with a solid cast, a new winning
attitude, and only Carolina as
serious division opposition, the Saints should march to another NFC South
title. The Panthers look good enough to battle for an NFC wild card. (2006
regular season records in parentheses):

NEW
ORLEANS SAINTS (10-6 SU, 10-6 ATS): Sean Payton
did the impossible in New Orleans
last season, turning a moribund 3-13 team into a Super Bowl contender. With the
return of QB Drew Brees, twin RB
threats Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush, and emerging WR
star Marques Colston, the offense is lethal. The
defense also showed improvement under first year coordinator Gary Gibbs but
lacked aggression, finishing 31^st in the NFL in takeaways in 2006.
The line, led by Charles Grant and Will Smith, is solid but the Saints need
more big-play potential at linebacker and in the secondary. Still, an offense
as potent as New Orleans’ will win
a lot of games.

SU: 64-80
ATS: 69-72-3
HF: 14-24-1
HD: 10-16-2
AF: 9-6
AD: 32-25
Sportsbook Buster:
The Saints are 8-2 ATS their last 10 games versus the 49ers, who they play in San
Francisco, Oct. 28.
NFL Betting Angle:
New Orleans has been a miserable bet
at home, compiling just a 24-40-3 record ATS the last nine seasons.

CAROLINA PANTHERS (8-8
SU, 5-9-2 ATS): Injuries ravaged the Panthers and the team that
made it to the Super Bowl a year earlier couldn’t even make to a winning record
in 2006. The offense struggled last year with inconsistent play from QB Jake
Delhomme and a ground game that finished 24^th in the NFL, prompting
Head Coach John Fox to fire offensive coordinator Dan Henning and replace him
with Jeff Davidson. The Carolina
defense was as good as the offense was bad last year with DE Julius Peppers
leading the way. The Panthers also have a quality secondary and hope that No. 1
draft choice Jon Beason (Miami)
will be the playmaker they need at linebacker.

Sportsbook Buster:
The Panthers are 6-0 ATS versus the Saints, their last half-dozen meetings.
NFL Betting Angle:
Carolina is 3-12 ATS as a favorite
of between four and seven points.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
(4-12 SU, 6-9-1 ATS): While the Saints were going from worst to
first, the Buccaneers were heading in the opposite direction, from first to
worst last year. Head Coach Jon Gruden hopes that
savvy QB Jeff Garcia, who the Buccaneers acquired through free agency, will be
able to run his complex West Coast offense with more precision than Chris Simms
or Bruce Gradkowski did in 2006. Tampa Bay has gotten old on defense, falling
from the top 10 in the league for the first time in a decade last season while
ranking 31^st in sacks with just 25.

NFL Betting Angle:
Tampa Bay
was 3-1 ATS last year and is 9-2-1
ATS the last nine seasons in the role of a home underdog.

ATLANTA FALCONS (7-9 SU, 8-8 ATS):
The Falcons didn’t figure to be a playoff contender with QB Mike Vick so their
fortunes are even dimmer now that Vick is likely to miss the season defending himself against a federal indictment for dog-fighting sand
gambling. New Head Coach Bobby Petrino will have to
overhaul an offense that has been dependent on Vick since his arrival in Atlanta
seven years ago. The defense, which played well last
year, gets a new coordinator in Mike Zimmer, from Dallas.

travels to Tampa Bay,
Nov. 4, after its open week.
