Gamblers Win With Ball State and Boise State

Live college football scores were kind again to the gamblers. Only Kevin Love has a better night than gamblers.

What a day for pro gamblers as the top sports service picks were all over Ball State and Boise State.

Here is what ScoresOddsPicks had:

Ball State at Buffalo (-3) – Friday, 6:00 p.m. ET

Buffalo (2-7, 1-7 ATS) has lost four straight after a 34-17 defeat at Ohio last week. The Bulls have also failed to cover in four consecutive games. True freshman Alex Zordich is struggling under center; he can run a little bit, but he was just 8-26 for 84 yards, one touchdown and two picks in last week’s loss.

Ball State (3-7, 3-5 ATS) has been victimized by turnovers. It gave the ball away five times in last week’s 37-30 double-overtime win over Akron, bringing the total to 14 in three games. Still, the Cardinals snapped a four-game losing streak, though they failed to cover (1-4 ATS in the past five games). The Cardinals have run the ball well (156 yards per game) but finally got a great performance from quarterback Keith Wenning. He was 14-27 for 217 yards and three scores, though he also threw three picks.

The Cardinals have been turnover prone, but their offense looks much sharper than Buffalo’s. Ball State should be able to pound the ball while getting the occasional big play from receiver Jack Tomlinson (seven catches, 175 yards, three touchdowns last week).

Take Ball State to cover as a road underdog as the Friday Night Underdog Best Bet of the Year

No. 4 Boise State (-35) at Idaho – Friday, 9:00 p.m. ET

Boise State (8-0, 6-2 ATS) has dominated all year, but last week was different. The Broncos thrashed Hawaii 42-7, racking up a school-record 737 yards while holding Hawaii to its lowest output (196 yards) since 1999—when the run-and-shoot was installed. Covering a huge spread is nothing new for Boise State; the team is 4-1 ATS in its last five match ups despite being favored by an average of 34 points.

Idaho (4-5, 3-5 ATS), meanwhile, has been completely overwhelmed by quality competition. The Vandals have are 1-3 in their past four games, including 0-4 against the spread. They allowed 844 yards to No. 25 Nevada last week; the week before, they were crushed by Hawaii 45-10.

The Broncos have their eyes set on the BCS Championship. After watching Idaho get crushed by 35 points against Hawaii, followed up by Boise State beating the same team by 35, it’s hard to imagine the Broncos not covering this week’s spread.

Take Boise State to cover in an ugly rout.

From ScoresOddsPicks, it’s continuation of a splendid NFL season that started with the Hall-of-Fame game and has not stopped. The recent tear is 19-8 in the NFL and 24-12 with all named plays since the Hall-of-Fame game. They have the Ravens at Falcons. But the big story is how much they love the Pittsburgh at Connecticut game. It’s the football Best Bet of the Week. Yes stronger than any college or pro game.

Cam Newton Stay of Execution…For Now Versus UGA

Despite reports that this was blackFriday 2010 for the Auburn Tigers, indications are their Heisman Trophy candidate QB will have a stay of execution for now.

Elite football betting service ScoresOddsPicks will have their free football pick in a moment, but we did want to give the latest on Cam Newton as we’ve clearly been ahead of the curve.

He will likely play against Georgia, though there is still a movement in the Auburn administration and even athletic department to cut their losses. While there is zero doubt that Cam Newton will eventually be ruled ineligible, head coach Gene Chizik and his staff would like to win as many games as possible and are of the school of thought they would rather win the SEC title and get stripped than to concede it now.

We have been asked if Auburn could get the death penalty as a result. Frankly we are not experts on the NCAA regulations and how severe the punishment is, but when we assured you long before the lamestream media that severe violations were forthcoming, obviously we knew what we were talking about.

We believe he will play so Auburn can bleed out as many wins as possible, even knowing they will eventually be expunged. From ScoresOddsPicks.

No. 19 Mississippi State at No. 12 Alabama (-13.5) – Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET

Mississippi State (7-2, 5-3 ATS) has excelled under absurd pressure this year. Last week, the team mourned the loss of Nick Bell, who succumbed to cancer just five weeks after the team’s win over Georgia. Mississippi State has also been linked to the Cameron Newton fiasco. Despite the distractions, the Bulldogs have won six straight, including a 3-1 run against the spread.

Alabama (7-2, 5-4 ATS) choked at LSU, losing 24-21 despite being a seven-point favorite. With the loss, the Crimson Tide’s title hopes faded.

The Bulldogs have covered six of their past 10 games against Alabama, though the Tide have covered two straight. There’s no doubt ‘Bama is the better team, but it will be a mentally battered one this week after blowing its BCS Championship hopes. Mississippi State should be in worse mental shape, but the team seems to be rallying together when it matters most.

The Bulldogs will make this too close for comfort for Alabama, covering the game—and maybe even winning outright.

For more information: The TV gurus at ScoresOddsPicks are just rolling along and winning like banshees. Ball State as the Friday Night Underdog Best Bet of the Year an absolutely outrageous 25-13 with named plays going back to the Hall-of-Fame Game burial in NFLX.

Cam Newton Banning Favorite To Happen First

Three things are inevitable: Cam Newton will be declared ineligible, though he will likely be benched first as a “good will gesture” by a desperate Auburn. Brad Childress will get fired by the Vikings and Erik Spoelstra will be fired by the Miami Heat so Pat Riley can present himself as the knight in shining armor to rescue the team.

Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com, the top sports betting site in the world has set the odds on what will happen first:

Cam Newton benched (does not include official permanent banning): -190

Erik Spoelstra fired by Miami Heat: +110

Brad Childress fired by Minnesota Vikings: +120

Matt Rivers, who was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites.

Your comp winner for Friday is on the Jazz +3.5 points at Atlanta.

If this is the game that Jerry Sloan’s team runs out of gas in then so be it but I’m going to ride the Jazz at another solid enough underdog price.

What Utah has been doing of late is simply amazing. These guys have won three straight games and were trailing by double digits at the half in all of them. Okay so coming back and downing the Clippers isn’t all that. But then carrying out that feat on the road in a back-to-back situation against Lebron and the Heat and then Dwight Howard and the Magic is almost defying all logic. But it just happened and to see the winning continue here at Philips Arena is not all that far fetched.

I like the 53 win Hawks as they are a very talented and experienced group which has now been together for a bunch of years. Joe Johnson continues to lead the way with Josh Smith and Al Horford alongside. Larry Drew’s team jumped out of the gate at 6-0 but things have not been as smooth after just getting whacked around at home by the Bucks on Wednesday night by a billion for their third straight loss.

I’m not going to destroy this Atlanta team at all because they are very capable and every single team will have at least one three game losing streak in a season. But with the way that Deron Williams, Paul Millsap and the recently acquired Al Jefferson have been playing I’m going to ride the hot hand and a good thing. The confidence is certainly there for Sloan’s squad unlike the Hawks who have not been playing their best ball and to get some points with a superstar in Williams and his surging mates is enough for me to back this live road dog.

For more information: It’s a big-time Friday for Matt Rivers with a variety of plays. I need this day after watching the Ravens allow that drive at the end of the game and the undefeated Lakers wet the bed in the fourth quarter. Three plays including two on the gridiron. A 400,000* first half between Boise State and Idaho. When I say first half I mean the first 30 minutes along with a 300,000* on the college hardwoods involving Northern Illinois and Northwestern plus a 200,000* on the full game between the Broncos and Vandals.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up a trio of games on Thursday, with Golden State at Chicago, the Lakers at Denver, and Boston at Miami. The Celtics fell to 6-2 overall (and 4-4 against-the-spread) with an 89-87 loss in Dallas in their last game on Monday night. Paul Pierce led the way with 24 points for Boston in that losing cause, while Kevin Garnett was good for 18 points and 15 rebounds. The Celtics, though, knocked off the hyped Heat 88-80 in Boston when those two teams met on the opening night of the season. Ray Allen poured in a team-high 20 points for Boston on that night, while Pierce had 19 points. LeBron James began his South Beach career with 31 points for the Heat in that defeat, with Dwyane Wade scoring 13 points in the game, and Chris Bosh adding eight points.

The 10-3-0 Kings are 6-0-0 at home so far this season, beating Nashville 4-1 last time out. However, Los Angeles will have to make due without both defenseman Willie Mitchell (broken wrist) and forward Alexei Ponikarovsky (broken finger) indefinitely.

NFL Week 10 Picks Against the Spread Breakdowns

Week 10 in NFL betting features some interesting storylines, including some elite teams going head to head and a few bubble teams fighting for their lives. Here are some key notes for the marquee matchups of the week.

Ravens (6-2) vs Falcons (6-2)

The Ravens and Falcons are both relatively close to full strength entering the Thursday nighter. Roddy White, Matt Ryan’s top target, dinged his knee last week but insists he’ll be back for this matchup. If you can hold off on your pick, you may want to wait until close to game time to ensure he plays before betting on Atlanta. The Falcons are still without rookie linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, who hasn’t recovered from his knee sprain.

Vikings (3-5) vs Bears (5-3)

It was no Randy Moss, no problem for the Vikings passing attack last week; Brett Favre threw for a season-high 446 yards. He’ll have another favorite weapon of his back at his disposal this week, as Sidney Rice (hip surgery) will make his season debut. According to Brad Childress, however, Rice’s snaps will be limited. His return comes at a good time since his fellow wideout, Percy Harvin, is reportedly dealing with migraine issues again. The Bears enter this matchup fairly healthy. It appears Chester Taylor will again steal goal line work from Matt Forte should the Bears drive Minnesota.

Titans (5-3) vs Dolphins (4-4)

Early buzz around Titans camp suggests newly acquired Randy Moss has been a quick study. Reportedly, he’s learned the playbook well enough that he has a solid number of routes he can run. He’s expected to start opposite Nate Washington, filling in for injured Kenny Britt. Vince Young (ankle) is on track to start for the Titans, though he didn’t practice on Wednesday.

As for the Dolphins, where do we start? First off, there’s the quarterback situation. Tony Sparano has officially benched Chad Henne, largely because of Miami’s minus-7 turnover margin. He hopes replacement Chad Pennington can help the team protect the ball better with his accurate (but weak) arm. The Dolphins also cut starting corner Jason Allen this week and signed Green Bay castoff Al Harris to replace him.

Patriots (6-2) vs Steelers (6-2)

It’s easy to take special teams moves for granted when we make our sportsbook bets, but the Pats really shook up their special teams this week. They signed kicker Shayne Graham to replace injured Stephen Gostkowski and brought in a new long snapper, Matt Katula.

But let’s face it; guys like Tom Brady get the glory when it comes to doing our sports betting blog notes. And the truth is that Brady is worth watching closely before game time this week. He missed practice with a foot injury and the severity is totally unknown.

Ben Roethlisberger has to be sweating about his pass protection a little this week. He lost right tackle Willie Colon before the season started; he lost left tackle Max Starks for the season this week with a neck injury; left guard Chris Kemoeatu has a sprained MCL, too, and tight end Heath Miller has fluid in his knee. Who will make the blocks for Pittsburgh?

TNT Point Spread Betting

OffshoreInsiders.com has issued a point spread alert for the Lakers vs. Nuggets game on TNT.
