Free Pick: Ball State-Central Michigan

Super handicapper Matt Rivers continues to dominate since being promoted to the Show at OffshoreInsiders.com after years of being far and away the winningest handicapper at a large network of websites.

Wednesday he says to go with Ball State plus the points hosting Central Michigan. They are getting 14.5 at Bodog.

Dan Lefevour and the Chippewas are clearly the far superior team, even on the road, when compared to Ball State. The Cardinals are not close to the dominant juggernaut from a season ago as Nate Davis who led one of the most potent offenses in the country is long gone. Now at 1-9 BSU is one of the weaker teams in all of the MAC and will lose today but to get a few touchdowns at home is enough for me to back this dog in a small play.
 
CMU has blown out all comers at home but when traveling this team has been a lot more vulnerable. Meanwhile today’s home boys have improved greatly of late and have been ultra competitive in tighter than expected losses against solid foes in Northern Illinois, Temple and Ohio. But today’s test is a bit too large once again as 1-10 is much more than likely in the Cardinals future.
 
Central is 6-0 in the MAC and 8-2 overall including a phenomenal win at Michigan State and a cover at Arizona earlier in the season. I’m not saying this team can’t travel because they are not Jekyl and Hyde like some but the highway has proven to be a lot more formidable for the Chips and in the end I think it leads to a win but non-cover by 31-21.

Tuesday Sports Pick

The college basketball odds are in full swing and the top sports handicappers are rolling on the dimes. Superstar Matt Rivers says Fairfield plus the points at Maryland. Bodog has them getting 19.5.
 
We see it every single season over and over and over again. Gary Williams’ Maryland Terrapins seem to struggle out of the gate and in head scratching fashion look horrendous against far inferior competition. I’m not sure if it’s a lack of focus against the cupcakes or a coaching flaw or what but the Turtle is just not very good to begin seasons.
 
Fairfield is certainly a creampuff and a team that deserves to be a huge dog tonight against Greivis Vazquez and the big bad Terps but I am banking on history repeating itself. Yes Maryland did just beat up Charleston Southern but I don’t see another 38 point burial happening here.
 
There certainly is talent on Williams’ squad with Vazquez and Landon Milbourne, Eric Hayes and Adrian Bowie but there is always talent in this program and yet we do not always see it at this time of the year.
 
Ed Cooley’s Stags are 2-0 and just beat Fordham. No the Rams are not exactly a quality squad at all but they are still a semi big program and win there means something. Anthony Johnson will fill it up and bang down low and Derek Needham is pretty good as well.
 
I’m not calling for a shocking outright but I also see a more competitive game than that oddsmaker seems to believe.

For more information: Matt Rivers became the winningest handicapper on a large network of sites by waiting for opportunity then preying on it. The handicapping predator releases fewer plays than 99.6 percent of all handicapper, but wins at a higher percentage than 99.3 percent of them.

UFC 106 Betting – Koscheck vs Johnson Preview & Pick

UFC 106 doesn’t give sports betting fans a title fight to wager on but it does offer some very even matchups that make for fun yet difficult choices. For the welterweight clash between Josh Koscheck and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in particular, bettors are almost split down the middle. Here’s a preview and pick to help you with your decision.

Josh Koscheck (13-4) vs Anthony Johnson (8-2)
Sportsbook odds: Koscheck -105, Johnson -125

Josh Koscheck and Anthony Johnson probably have a few guys in their way before they can top the welterweight contender ladder—Dan Hardy, Jon Fitch and Thiago Alves—but they’re fearsome up-and-comers in the division. Both guys can be classified as next-generation mixed martial artists in that they’re athletes who absorb new skills like sponges.

Koscheck in particular has improved dramatically over the last few years. He was always a phenomenal wrestler and remains arguably a top-five wrestler in the entire UFC for any weight class. He’s become more dangerous over the years, however, by improving his kickboxing and developing some serious punching power. A well-rounded Koscheck has a better chance to contend for a title than he did a few years ago but his new skills sometimes hurt him too. He too frequently abandons his real strength—his wrestling—in favor of “showing” off his newfound striking ability. That cost him his fights with Thiago Alves and Paulo Thiago. It’s the equivalent to a good rushing team in NFL betting getting caught up in a passing shootout.

Anthony Johnson is likely crossing his fingers hoping that Koscheck wants to stand and trade with him. The reason: Johnson is an absolute killer. He’s 6’2″ and reportedly walks around as heavy as 220 pounds when he’s not training, so the fact that he’s fighting at 170 pounds is almost unfair. He’s an imposing physical presence with devastating knockout power. He doesn’t pound out TKOs with flurries—he can floor an opponent with a single punch or head kick. On the feet, Johnson has an advantage. On the ground, he does have a wrestling background but he’s largely untested in the UFC. Online betting fans have to think Koscheck has the advantage on the canvas, though Johnson at the very least will be hard to hold down.


Sports picks choice: Johnson -125. Koscheck can absolutely win this fight if he plays it smart and goes for the takedown, but he’s fallen in love with the striking game too much. The longer he stays standing with Johnson, the more likely he is to have his head taken off. Pick Johnson but understand that this fight could really go either way.

Zach Greinke Wins Cy Young, Brady Quinn Cheap Shot Top Sportsbook News

The talk shows debate the Brady Quinn cheap shot on Terrell Suggs, Zach Greinke was no surprise as the American League Cy Young Award 2009 winner. In NFL odds

news, it appears the Josh Cribbs injury, on the pointless last play of the game, is not serious.

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Rangers host the Capitals, the Pacers visit the Nets, and the Suns look to pick up a win against the Rockets in Houston.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up eight games on Tuesday, including Phoenix at Houston. The 9-2 Suns slipped past the Raptors for a 101-100 win on Sunday, getting 30 points and eight rebounds from Amare Stoudemire. Steve Nash picked up 23 points and nine assists in that contest. The 6-4 Rockets were beaten 101-91 by the Lakers on Sunday, with Aaron Brooks scoring 33 points in that defeat. Trevor Ariza picked up nine points and grabbed eight rebounds for Houston that contest.

Also on the NBA hardwood on Tuesday: Golden State at Cleveland, Oklahoma City at Miami, the Clippers at New Orleans, Toronto at Denver, Chicago at Sacramento, Detroit at the Lakers, and Indiana at New Jersey. The Nets’ early-season woes continued on Saturday, as they were edged 81-80 in Miami to fall to 0-10 on the season. Brook Lopez and Trenton Hassell each scored 17 points in that defeat, while Chris Douglas-Roberts was good for 16 points off the bench.

As well, the top two teams in college basketball are both in action on Tuesday, as Kansas hosts Memphis and Michigan State gets a visit from Gonzaga. The Jayhawks rolled to a win in their season opener on Friday, blasting Hofstra 101-65 on the strength of 27 points from Xavier Henry. The Spartans had an easy time in their opener as well, beating up on Florida Gulf Coast by a 97-58 score.

 

GodsTips continues to be hotter than the Carrie Prejean tapes. Yes this has been a rare year in which the NFL Specialists have laid the big number, especially on the road. And it’s been a rare case of big chalks covering. Wise Guys know that’s no coincidence.

Another rarity: Sunday night we had Indy on the moneyline—a lot of underdog moneyline winners over the years, few moneyline chalks.

But there was a reason and how about that: Indy wins but does not cover. You won. It’s a 5-0 NBA tear and we are 6-3 this year with CBB Wise Guys. Get 13 Wise Guys and six Majors up for Tuesday. Click now to purchase
