Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Giants look for a win over the Rockies in Colorado, while the Rangers do battle with the Athletics, and ranked TCU takes on SMU.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The lone college football game on the schedule for Friday has No. 4 TCU playing on the road against SMU. The ranked Horned Frogs (3-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) rolled past Baylor 45-10 at home last week, with Andy Dalton good on 21 of 23 pass attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Ed Wesley ran for 165 yards and two scores for TCU in that win. The Mustangs (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) beat Washington State 35-21 at home last time out, as Kyle Padron went 19-of-34 for 280 yards and four touchdowns. The Horned Frogs are listed as 18.5-point road favorites against SMU on Friday, with the total set at 55.5.

As well, there’s one Canadian Football League game on tap for Friday, with Montreal at Winnipeg. The Alouettes (8-3 SU, 6-5 ATS) ride a two-game winning streak into this Friday matchup; Montreal got past Edmonton 31-14 at home last week, with Anthony Calvillo going 24-of-42 for 327 yards and an interception. The Blue Bombers (3-8 SU, 5-6 ATS) are coming off a 17-13 road loss against Toronto, and they’re pegged as 5.5-point home underdogs by the oddsmakers for Friday. The total for the contest is at 54.5.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

On the American League schedule for Friday it’s Kansas City at Cleveland, Minnesota at Detroit, Boston at the Yankees, Baltimore at Toronto, Seattle at Tampa Bay, the White Sox at the Angels, and Texas at Oakland. The Rangers are expected to send Tommy Hunter (12-4, 3.92 ERA) to the mound in that last contest, with the Athletics going with Bobby Cramer (2-0, 2.45 ERA). Righthander Hunter lost to the Mariners in his most recent trip to the mound, allowing two runs on six hits over his six innings of work. Lefthander Cramer is perfect so far in his Major League career, beating the Twins and the Royals in his two starts. Cramer has given up just three runs over his 11 innings.

Meanwhile, the National League on Friday offers up St. Louis at the Cubs, Houston at Pittsburgh, the Mets at Philadelphia, Atlanta at Washington, Florida at Milwaukee, the Dodgers at Arizona, Cincinnati at San Diego, and San Francisco at Colorado. Tim Lincecum (14-10, 3.60 ERA) takes the hill for the Giants on Friday, while the Rockies respond with Jhoulys Chacin (9-9, 3.30 ERA). Righthander Lincecum was beaten by the Brewers last time out, surrendering two runs on six hits over his five innings of work. Righthander Chacin blanked the Dodgers in eight innings of work in his last mound trip.

Matt Rivers free pick Friday is on the Houston Astros.

Somehow, someway Brett Myers has found himself and quite possibly is finishing up his best season ever. After the issues he had the last few seasons in Philadelphia it’s hard to imagine that Myers would have gotten back to this point but he has. The guy has been flat out nasty all season long and goes six plus innings every single game. It’s uncanny how Myers continues to be great start after start after start. I never thought this was possible, I really didn’t, but hurling like this the entire season just cannot be a fluke and thinking that all of a sudden tonight the lowly Pirates are going to jump on him is fairly unrealistic.

I’m not even saying that Pittsburgh won’t plate a few runs because at PNC they are alright and have played much better in the past week but at around a pick with Myers and a semi surging Astros club I am just fine with this small road chalk.

James McDonald has shown some flashes of what the Dodgers thought they had a few years back and certainly can put up some zeroes but all in all he is no Myers right now and the Buccos are not as solid overall as the ‘Stros. Lee, Pence, Bourne, Johnson and the visitors have stepped it up a ton after trading away both Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt and right now are a pretty formidable team. To even be anywhere near .500 is pretty amazing with this club and in this spot I think they take another step towards the break-even mark.

The pick: Houston +102

For more information: Rivers says that The weekend is going to be sweet as sugar but we’ve got one matter at hand first and that is today. Don’t sleep on what I have here on Friday as it’s a money making day in the end equaling more coin in your pocket and more losses for the Crookie. Let me tell you flat out that I do not like this college football game at all and will pass it up for the bases. Tomorrow though is a far different story, far different!

Two plays today, a 300,000* involving Los Angeles and Arizona along with a bonus 200,000* San Francisco and Colorado. Right at 900,000* of profit over the past week and going well north of a million today! Click now to purchase Matt Rivers card

Spread betting trends (all records are against the spread): Sooners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite of 10.5 or greater, 7-2 versus an opponent with a losing record. On the other hand, Oklahoma is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. win.

Sports betting experts note that the Bearcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

ESPN college football has Pitt vs. Miami, plus there is pennant race MLB. Super book Bodog takes a peek at tonight’s card.

An old Big East rivalry is rekindled Thursday night for the first time since the Miami Hurricanes left that conference for the ACC as UM visits Pittsburgh in a game that both teams need to prove they were as good as they were expected to be heading into the season. Miami is a 4-point favorite on Bodog’s NCAA Football Odds with live betting available.

Pitt opened the season at No. 15 in the rankings but was knocked out of the polls following a 27-24 overtime loss at Utah. The Panthers then beat New Hampshire on Sept. 11 but that didn’t prove much. A rebuilt offensive line has had trouble opening holes for star sophomore running back Dion Lewis. Last year, Lewis was probably the best freshman in the country when he rushed for 1,799 yards and 17 touchdowns. But Lewis had only 27 yards against New Hampshire, an FCS team, and was held to 75 yards on 25 carries against Utah. Pitt is breaking in both guards and a center this year, not to mention a new quarterback in Tino Sunseri, who has completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 459 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. So defenses are gearing up to stop the run.

Miami, meanwhile, opened at No. 13 in the polls and had no trouble in an opening 45-0 win over FCS team Florida A&M. But the Canes blew a chance on the national stage on Sept. 11 by losing 36-24 at Ohio State in which Jacory Harris threw four interceptions – picks were a big problem for Harris last season. Plus the Miami defense allowed 414 total yards to the Buckeyes. UM does lead the nation in tackles for loss and in punt return average – the Canes ran both a kickoff and punt back for a TD against Ohio State.

However, history shows that UM should win tonight, considering Miami has won six in a row in this series since 1998. The Hurricanes also have won 32 consecutive games against unranked non-conference opponents, while the Panthers are 1-10 in their past 11 against ranked non-conference teams. These two have met four times on ESPN’s Thursday night football and Miami is 3-1.

Top expert pick on this game: Hottest Handicapper feature is 5-1; Biggest Play 31-14 (records in all sports for both) on the Power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine.

The “Biggest Play” is it’s the first time this season in college or pro football that a nationally ranked sports service has released a regular season Game of the Year (though it’s from a service that hit their NFLX GOY). Mon Valley Sports is ranked No. 19 all-time in football (college/pro combined). NCF Game of the Year Miami U vs. Pittsburgh U. Click now to purchase or for more information and a free pick

There is also MLB picks tonight. Now one of the few sportsbooks to get the most prestigious honor of the all, “Sportsbook of the Year” by OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at today’s top betting action.

Yes, both the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees are going to the playoffs, but tonight’s finale of a four-game set in the Bronx has huge seeding implications for the AL playoffs. New York is a -140 favorite on Bodog’s MLB Odds and there will be live betting available.

The Rays won a rain-delayed game 7-2 on Wednesday night to cut the Yankees’ lead in the AL East to 1.5 games. After tonight’s game, Tampa Bay has 10 games left and New York nine. A Tampa Bay win would be especially big because it would not only cut the division lead to a half-game but give the Rays the season series at 10-8. Remember, there will be no 163^rd game this year in baseball – now if two teams in a division are tied after 162 games, the division goes to the club that won the season series. Obviously if New York wins tonight it ties the season series – in that case, the tiebreaker would be record within the AL East. The Rays are 40-28 and the Yankees are 35-27 in the division. And you also have to throw possible home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs into the mix. Entering tonight the Yanks and Twins are tied with the Rays obviously 1.5 games back. Should the AL East winner end up tied with Minnesota record-wise, the Twins lose out because they lost both season series to Tampa Bay and New York.

It should be noted the Rays have a much easier schedule the rest of the way, so it’s probably fair to say tonight’s winner is your AL East champ and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

The pitching matchup couldn’t be better as it matches the two best lefties and the top two Cy Young candidates in the AL: Tampa Bay’s David Price (17-6, 2.79) and New York’s CC Sabathia (20-6, 3.05). Those two met last Monday in St. Petersburg and both matched zeros through eight innings in the Rays’ 1-0, 11-inning victory. Price is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in four career appearances including three starts at Yankee Stadium. Sabathia has a 1.84 ERA this season against Tampa Bay.

Let’s continue our look at the Week 3 betting trends with the late games. That includes new Eagles starter Michael Vick in action.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26

Eagles (1-1) vs Jaguars (1-1)

The Eagles have failed to beat their last five spreads but could the trend reverse with Vick starting against a suspect Jacksonville secondary in Week 3? The Jags are a pitiful 4-13 ATS over their last 17 home games. It seems nothing comes easily for them.

Colts (1-1) vs Broncos (1-1)

First things first: bet the OVER, as this series has gone over total in six straight meetings. The Colts have beaten spread against the Broncos four straight times and are 7-2 ATS over their last seven road games. Meanwhile, the Broncos are a tough sportsbook play at home when the spread is involved these days; they’re 9-21 ATS over their last 30 home games.

Chargers (1-1) vs Seahawks (1-1)

San Diego’s easy-as-pie start to the season continues with a road game in Seattle. The Chargers are 1-6 ATS over their last seven after allowing 15 or fewer points the previous game. However, the road team is 5-1-1 ATS over the last seven games in this series and the Seahawks are 1-8 ATS over their last nine when allowing 350-plus total yards in the previous game.

Jets (1-1) vs Dolphins (2-0)

While the New York Jets have beaten the spread in six of their last seven trips to Miami, sports betting sharps shouldn’t underestimate the impact of Darrelle Revis’ absence. Especially considering the Dolphins are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games against AFC East opponents.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27

Packers (2-0) vs Bears (2-0)

Based on trends, this sports betting blog has to recommend Green Bay strongly in this matchup. The Pack are 4-0 ATS over the last four meetings and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 trips to Chicago. The Pack are also 10-3 ATS over their last 13 against the NFC North and 8-1-1 ATS over their last 10 on grass. Meanwhile, the Bears are 3-8 ATS over their last 11 divisional games, 1-5 ATS over their last six at home and 1-7 ATS over their last eight on grass.

If you missed part 1 of week 3 NFL betting trends, it’s up to beat the bookie.
