Here are real-time fantasy football and
football betting news and notes for today’s NFL directly from the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com

In an ugly battle, the Raiders take on the Dolphins. Dante
Culpepper gets the start for Oakland
at quarterback. Miami is a
four-point favorite (NFL betting odds). For the
Fins, middle linebacker Zach Thomas is a game time decision.

Speaking of game time decisions, Houston
running back Ahman Green is just that, with Ron Dayne his replacement. They will be sans big weapon, wide
receiver Andre Johnson. Playing at Atlanta,
the Texans are 2.5 point road favorites according to BetUs
Sportsbook

The Ravens are laying four-points on the road to the
Browns. Cleveland
tight end Kellen Winslow says he will play. The
headline on this game for NFL bettors is that it’s a Level 5 play from Stevie
Vincent, Senior Handicapper at OffshoreInsiders.com

Vincent is a sensational 11-4 the last two weeks in
football, a smooth 73.3 percent.

The Rams are without running back Steven Jackson, who led
the NFL in total yards from scrimmage last year. St. Louis
is getting 13 points from Dallas
according to NewBodog

The Bears are laying three-points at the Detroit Lions, but Chicago
has several injuries on defense. They will be without starting cornerbacks
Charles Tillman and Nate Vasher.
Meanwhile defensive tackle Tommie Harris and linebacker Lance Briggs are
questionable.

Detroit’s star
weapon, wideout Calvin Johnson is also a game time
decision.

Tampa is getting three-points at Carolina according to BetUs
Sportsbook, but the home favorites are without quarterback Jake Delhomme
and instead have journeyman David Carr starting. The Panthers are also without
linebacker Dan Morgan.

Tonight I’m watching my winning
bet on the MNF game between the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans.
For years, Monday Night Football was on ABC, but now it’s on ESPN.

My wife will be watching the over-the-air Disney Channel
ABC. “Dancing with the Stars” is on tonight. Boring, unless one can wager on it. Luckily one can!

Thanks to the top sportsbook you can do more
than just bet on sports.

Who will be the Dancing with the Stars winner? The top sportsbook betting odds say Melanie Brown is the favorite
at 4-1 followed by Helio Castroneves at 5-1. More
concerned about winning NFL bets, I must confess that I have no idea who Helio Castroneves is, but with a name like Helio, he has to be able to
dance.

The person who will get American sports bettors and sports
punters interested is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. I picture him as being
Al Gore’s twin on the dance floor. Cuban is 21-2. Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 9-2 to knockout the competition,
while Josie Maran is 6-1.

I suppose Las
Vegas bettors would prefer
Wayne Newtown at 19-2, though one can’t bet in Las
Vegas on events that are voted
on. So even Vegas sports bettors will have to invent with top sportsbook

Are you ready for some football betting winners? The
Tennessee Titans travel to New Orleans
to take on the Saints. New Orleans
is a 4.5 point favorite, though it’s five at some sportsbooks. The posted total is 45.5.

I did hear on WPEN Sports Radio
950, some radio tout Tony Smith from Las Vegas
is 14-1 and he owns tonight’s game. It’s said there are some crooks feeding on
the suckers, but for every Tony Smith and Jonathan Stone there are legitimate
handicappers like Dr. Bob, Couch Potato and honest ones like Mark Lawrence,
Jeff Benton and Oscar Dooley

The top NFL handicapper, Mike Godsey, has GodsTips 10-4
the last 14 in pro football betting. GodsTips has a Wise Guy on the side at OffshoreInsiders.com

They also, as their free sports betting pick say go with
the over tonight. Here is the rationale.

Despite the high posted total, we have to like the over. Simply
put, the Saints defense is almost as bad as they’ve looked this year, but their
offense is much better.

The Saints are giving up 36 points per game on 7.3 yards
per play and a stunning 11.5 yards per pass. While no defense is that bad,
Tennessee QB Vince Young always finds a way, so he will have a lot of success
tonight.

But playing at home on the fast turf, it is breakout time
for their high powered offense. Remember, we had the Colts and Buccaneers in
their respective games to New Orleans because the Saints offense would face a
fired up team and crowd in the Colts first game since winning the Super Bowl
and the Tampa defense and ball control offense, perfectly designed to slow a
high powered offense. This game goes over early in the fourth quarter.

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. OffshoreInsiders.com

Cardinals-Ravens

Young Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart faces perhaps the
toughest challenge of his career going on the road against one of the best
defenses. Leinart was more comfortable in his second game of the year, a 23-20
win over Seattle and part of a 6-1
Sunday NFL by GodsTips.com. A major reason was that head coach Ken Whisenhunt simplified the playbook from week one.

49ers-Steelers

Both teams are 2-0 but San Francisco
has won their two games by a combined four points, while the Steelers have won
each game by 20 points. However, NFL
guru Mike Godsey reminds, “The Steelers pulverized a bad and injury riddled
Bills team last week.” Pittsburgh
has allowed a combined 10 points, which is 10 fewer than any other team. Pittsburgh
is 11-1 their last 12 straight up in interconference
games.

Colts-Texans

Going back to last year, the Texans have won four in a
row. Houston will likely be without
their best receiver Andre Johnson. He has 14 catches for 262 yards and three
touchdowns.

Chargers-Packers

Green Bay is
2-0 after starting out 1-4 each of the last three seasons. Head coach Mike McCarthy believes adjustments
made in training camp, which called for more rest and recovery time, is a major
reason. However, 13 players missed all or part of practice Wednesday.

Rams-Buccaneers

Last year during a wave of injuries to the offensive line,
St. Louis won 4-of-5. Nevertheless, they are 0-2 this year and
their offensive line is banged up. Seven time Pro
Bowler Orlando Pace is out, guard Rich Incognito is doubtful, plus ace backup
guard and tackle Todd Steussie is out. Quarterback
Marc Bulger has been limited in practice because of sore ribs.

Cowboys-Bears

Dallas has
scored the most points in the league with 82, though are fourth in yards. Chicago
has allowed the fourth fewest points and fifth fewest yards. Chicago
has won 13-of-15 at home holding 12 of those teams to 10 or fewer points. Their
defense though has the third fewest yards and fourth fewest points. Dallas
will again be without starting wide receiver Terry Glenn.

Titans-Saints

New Orleans is
0-2 but this is their home opener. Tennessee
has won seven of their last nine games, but one of their losses a close one to Indianapolis
22-20 last week.

Panthers-Falcons

Atlanta has
scored just 10 points in an 0-2 start and Joey
Harrington has been sacked 13 times. Atlanta
did sign former Jacksonville
starting quarterback Byron Leftwich, but according to coach
Bobby Petrino, Leftwich will be the No. 3 quarterback
until he learns the offense. Harrington
is 23-45 as a starting quarterback.

Vikings-Chiefs

Kansas City
will be without starting wide receiver Eddie Kennison.
Rookie Dwayne Bowe gets the nod. Minnesota
running back Chester Taylor did not practice Wednesday. Minnesota
quarterback Tavaris Jackson missed practice Wednesday
nursing a sore groin. Betting expert Stevie Vincent said expect little line
movement based on who the Vikings starting quarterback is. “Jackson
is quarterback of the future, but he’s certainly shaky in the present.” Minnesota
has incredibly lost 12-of-13 road games to the AFC.

KC is 2-5 this decade on home openers as each of their
first two games were on the road and both losses. The good news is Chiefs
starting quarterback Damon Huard is 6-0 all-time as a
starter in KC and his passer rating is 107.3. KC’s defense ranks eighth in the
league and will be buoyed by the return of defensive end Jarred Allen who
served a two-game suspension. KC is 20-4 outright at home to the NFC since 1995,
the league’s best mark under such paramemters.

Lions-Eagles

Philadelphia
star running back Brian Westbrook did not practice Wednesday because of a knee
injury. We are keeping an eye as well on Detroit
running back Kevin Jones who also missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury.
Philadelphia will also have to deal
with the distraction (or rallying cry) on Donovan McNabb’s outspoken comments
on HBO. Philly has won four straight in the series by a combined 122-76.

Giants-Redskins

Giants quarterback Eli Manning appears recovered from his
shoulder injury, but starting running back Brandon Jacobs is out. Derrick Ward
gets the start.

Dolphins-Jets

Each team is 0-2. Jets starting quarterback Chad
Pennington is nursing an ankle injury and his status will be determined later
in the week. His replacement Kellen Clemens struggled
in the first three quarters last week, but nearly led the Jets back from a 20-3
fourth quarter deficit. OffshoreInsiders.com
Senior Handicapper Stevie Vincent said this game looks to be the
strongest betting game on the board. He will release a Level 5 play on this
game. Pennington is 6-1 to Miami
including 4-0 at Giants Stadium.

Bills-Patriots

New England has beaten the Jets and
Chargers by identical 38-14 routs. On the other hand, Buffalo
has one touchdown this year in two losses and has been outscored 41-17. New
England is 12-1 the last 13 straight up in the series.

Bengals-Seahawks

Seattle has
won 10-of-12 straight up to the NFC, including 5-1 on the road. But Cincinnati
has lost three straight road games overall since last year, allowing an average
of 36.3 points per game. Seattle is
27-6 at Qwest Field since 2003, the best home mark in the league during that
span.

All records are against the Las Vegas
pointspread.

Illinois-Syracuse

The Illini have covered at a
13-3 rate after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. Illinois
is also 11-24 after allowing less than 170 yards passing. Despite their recent
struggles to win games outright, covers experts will want to note that Syracuse
has covered the spread 15-of-20 non-conference. The nation’s top TV handicapper, the Couch
Potato has seven televised winners. All
seven are on MasterLockLine.com

Mississippi State-Auburn

Who will cover this SEC clash? Auburn
is on a 3-8 overall skid to the Vegas oddsmakers. The Bulldogs are 7-1 versus
the oddsmakers after allowing less than 100 yards rushing last game. They are only 10-23 versus the Vegas line as
an underdog. Auburn has failed in
seven straight as a double digit chalk.

UCLA-Utah

UCLA is 9-1 against the sportsbooks to the Mountain West. However, they have covered the pointspread at just a 7-21 rate their last 28 against teams with a
losing record. The Utes are 25-7 as an underdog. America’s
top sports service GodsTips has a Wise Guy play on this game among 10 Saturday
winners. Get his plays at the top source
for offshore or Vegas Experts at OffshoreInsiders.com

Notre Dame-Michigan

The Fighting Irish have beaten the online sportsbooks 7-of-10 against teams with
a losing record. But they are a pitiful 8-20 after scoring less than 20 points
last game. The Wolverines are 8-22 as a favorite of 3.5-10.

Arkansas-Alabama

The Crimson Tide are 23-11 after
allowing less than 275 total yards last game. All-world sports handicapper
Stevie Vincent reminds the world why he replaced handicapper Dr. Bob as the
choice of betting syndicates. He literally has a statistic that is 28-1, yes
96.5 percent to the Vegas sports line!
Stevie Vincent’s 28-1 pointspread statistic is among three Level 5 plays
and five college football betting winners at OffshoreInsiders.com

Southern California-Nebraska

USC is 5-0 when the offshore bookmakers post them as a
favorite of 3.5-10. They are also 23-10
their last 33 following a win of 20 or more. Nebraska
plays their best against the best. The
Cornhuskers are an impressive 18-2 their last 20 at home to teams with a
winning road record. Yet they are 1-15
against the football pointspread after allowing more than 200 yards rushing
last game.

Florida State-Colorado

FSU is 8-20 as a favorite and 1-11 as a chalk of 3.5-10
according to sports betting databases. Colorado
is 18-38 after getting less than 100 yards rushing last game.

More college football betting news and notes for this
weekend’s action in both college football and the NFL

First the college betting advice:

Louisiana Monroe-Texas A&M

Sports handicappers have several factors to weigh. On one
hand, A&M may be tempted to rest key players, not to mention look-ahead.
The Aggies get their first test following this game. Off a short-week, they play at Miami
on Thursday.

However, this is a final chance for Texas A&M to fine-tune their struggling passing game. In beating Fresno
State last Saturday, the Aggies ran the ball on 28 of their final 29 games. Oh, that game went into three overtimes, so a
letdown is also something to consider.

Arkansas-Alabama

Arkansas
star wide receiver Marcus Monk is out.

Fresno State-Oregon

Oregon must
guard against a letdown, fresh of their 39-7 pulverizing of Michigan.
Oregon has won four straight in
the series, but all by a touchdown or less.
However, Fresno must
mentally regroup following a heart-wrenching triple overtime loss at Texas A&M. Hence, this
is the second straight road game against a nationally ranked team for the
Bulldogs.

Army-Wake Forest

Wake Forest
will again be without starting quarterback Riley Skinner.

Now to the NFL betting edge as well as information useful
to the fantasy
football player:

49ers-Rams

The 49ers star running back Frank Gore will be playing
with a heavy heart. His mother died
Wednesday following a long illness. Gore rushed for a franchise record 1,695
yards last year.

San Diego-New England

Sportsbooks and
wise guy NFL bettors alike raised an eyebrow when Chargers All-Pro tight end
Antonio Gates missed practice on Wednesday.
However, he did practice fully Thursday and will start Sunday.

We’ve said before that online sports radio stations can
give good insight to the sports gambler.
Who are some of the best hosts and what are the top sports radio shows
from a sports betting standpoint?

Norm Hitzges of the Ticket in Dallas
is a true sports radio legend. He’s also
unapologetic about his love for the pointspread angle. Switch stations
afterwards as “Bad Radio” follows. Not
only does the show title fit, but it describes the rest of the broadcast day.

Philadelphia
is the sports gambling capital of the world, especially when it comes to
professional sports. The newer of the all-sports stations WPEN
Sportsradio 950 has one of the premier true sports
talk hosts in the land, Jody McDonald.
Like Hitzges, “Jody Mac” has no compunction
about talking pointspread.

His show is opposite sports radio veteran Howard Eskin, a pioneer in newspaper sports handicapping as he was
the original Vegas Vic in the Philadelphia Daily News. Eskin
is heard on WIP radio.

Unfortunately, 610 WIP is a
perfect illustration of the difference between true sports radio that the
sports bettors prefer and “guy radio” which appeals to the great unwashed who
fill out their Arbitron radio books.

On one hand, they have the stereotypical “you are an
idiot, you are a moron” comic book character host Steve Martorano
on five days a week, but hide one of their true sports experts, and admitted
sports handicapping junkie Paul Jolvitz, AKA “Jolly”
in the middle of weekend nights.

Unlike radio legend Pete Franklin, who mixed his shtick with
substance, Martorano uses his grade-school name
calling to waive the intellectual white flag. WIP
also has sundry Brandon Lang infomercials further debasing the product.

Former Philadelphian and former XTRA
Sports Radio personality Philly Billy Werndl moved to
San Diego XX Sports Radio, but unfortunately cannot be heard on Real Audio any
longer.

Though sources tell me he is an anti-gambling zealot, he
is one of the top NFL experts. Mitch Levy hosts a show on KJR
in Seattle. We’ve gotten decent Pac-10 tidbits from his
show that has benefited our sports handicapping.

WFAN radio in New
York is the first of all all-sports radio stations
and still the king. While “Mike and the
Mad Dog” combination of Mike Francesa and Chris Russo
are their best known hosts in the post Don Imus era,
it’s Joe Benigno who has the best insight.

WEEI in Boston
is solid too and it’s all Patriots all the time on NFL Sundays and Mondays.

Rick Ballou, formally of
Sporting News Radio, now at Jacksonville, Florida’s
1010XL is one of the top college football experts in the land, especially with
SEC and Florida based teams.

Ballou’s former employer has
opted to sell infomercial time to Mr. Duke Wins Larry Dukeheart
and Jonathan Stone. Ron Barr’s Sports Byline Radio Network features something
called Sports Memo Radio Show with Tim Trushel. Barr
also has Mark Lawrence of Preferred Picks and Vegas Experts on his show.
