It was no surprise that Arizona crushed Toledo as ScoresOddsPicks.com had an ESPN Best Bet on Arizona and also added the under. They are now 31-13 in football betting, but that includes four humungous moneyline underdogs.

Hence, he’s +23.6 units on one unit per bet. So in the 44 picks, your wallet has the pro bettors record at the equivalent of 34-9 thanks to the underdog moneyline locks. They have another ESPN Best Bet winner on Oregon State vs. TCU. Oh the “Best Bet” is a “named play” which are 13-2 this football season going back to NFL preseason.

Here was the breakdown of the win, before the game. Their football picks are outlandish.

The Wildcats are the lone Pac-10 team yet to capture a conference championship, but there’s a good buzz in Arizona; they think this could be their year. They’re looking to start things off on the right foot as 15.5-point favorites against Toledo on Friday night.

Arizona (-15.5) at Toledo – Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET (ESPN)

There’s a lot to like on Arizona’s offense. Quarterback Nick Foles tossed 19 touchdowns as a junior last season, his first as a starter. Plenty of those scores went to receiver Juron Criner, a budding star. Criner is a tremendous big-play threat who really stretches the field. The Wildcats also have lots of depth at running back; Nic Grigsby is a home run hitter—though he’s injury prone—and Keola Antolin averaged 5.6 yards per carry last season.

Defensively, though, there are problems. Stopping the run could be a major issue, as the team is rebuilding at linebacker and defensive tackle. Opposing quarterbacks won’t have it easy, however; Ricky Elmore (10.5 sacks last year) and Brooks Reed (8.5 sacks in 2008) form a great duo at end. Throw in corner Trevin Wade, who picked off five passes last year, and you’ve got some potential to make things happen.

Toledo returns four starters on the offensive line but, for the most part, is rebuilding. Aaron Opelt was the starting quarterback for the past four years and replacing him will be no easy task. The receivers are also quite green besides Eric Page (1159 yards in 2009). There is some depth in the backfield, but no superstar talent at running back—certainly not enough to carry an offense, anyway.

The defense was awful last year, allowing over 400 yards per contest. Toledo was scored by the pass and allowed 26 touchdowns via the air. Truth be told, there’s not a lot to draw from on this side of the ball right now.

Arizona is in a different class than Toledo. The Wildcats have a potentially awesome offense, one that should have little trouble carving up the Rockets. Foles is on the verge of a breakout season and, with little help on the way for Toledo’s secondary, he has the perfect game to launch his 2010 campaign. Look for the Wildcats to take care of business and cover the 15.5-point spread. We also will see this game go under thanks to an Arizona defense that has gotten better. Arizona is a “named play” as an ESPN Best Bet.

Matt Rivers has you free pick winner for Friday is on the Marlins +115 hosting Atlanta. .

This is far from the lock of my life as it’s only a comp play but there are some factors as to why I’m backing the Marlins today. First of all Kenshin Kawakami has struggled this season. The guy is not bad and is definitely better than the awful record but things have not been good at all and after not really pitching for a long time I just am not sure the guy is ready to get back into the rotation and do much of anything. Certainly Andrew Miller hasn’t lived up to what people thought he would be but the big lefthander has always had quality stuff and if there is anything this season that has hurt the Braves it has been southpaws.

I’m not exactly sure why lefties have been semi Kryptonite to Bobby Cox’ squad but maybe because of the lineup being tilted towards lefty bats with Heyward, McCann and a few others. This may not be the answer but it’s a fact that Atlanta is a far better club against right-handers and on the road down in South Beach against Miller may prove this theory one more time.

The Marlins have been hanging around a bit and are not fully out of the Wild Card. Granted the postseason’s not going to happen I understand that but there is some hope at least and after the fight with Nyjer Morgan and the Nationals the other day this team should be united and pumped up.

Ramirez, Stanton, Uggla and Morrison are no joke and even if the fish’ record is not up to par with Cox’ Bravos this game has the makings of a Florida victory.

For more information: The Utes certainly made it interesting and tried to blow it late but in the end getting under that field goal helped cash the ticket. A 3-1 Friday overall including the Steelers easy and the Phillies with some heroics and now I feel great and ready to smack the Crookie around. Three 300,000* plays on the diamond and three 300,000* winners on the diamond for Friday. Texas-Minnesota, Tampa Bay-Baltimore and Anaheim-Oakland.

It’s South Carolina vs. Southern Miss to start Bodog betting previews.  Don’t worry about fantasy football as the fantasy football rankings and NFL draft guide is done.

The Gamecocks as 14-point favorites. And with this game being shown on ESPN, there will be live betting available on NCAA Football Odds

It’s hard to bet against Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier tonight. South Carolina is undefeated in season openers under Spurrier, and the Ol’ Ball Coach is 19-1 in openers in his career. The Gamecocks also have won six straight non-conference home games dating back to the 2008 season opener.

South Carolina could be a bit short-handed tonight, however. For sure suspended senior tight end Weslye Saunders will not play. Saunders was interviewed earlier this summer by NCAA investigators regarding a trip he took to Miami and whether it was funded by agents. He’s also one of at least nine South Carolina players who was living at a hotel, which has come under NCAA scrutiny. Spurrier said Saunders was suspended for violating team rules, adding that his suspension was not tied to the NCAA investigation. But the Gamecocks may sit those eight other players who are still being looked at by the NCAA, including starting safety Akeem Auguste, starting offensive tackle Jarriel King, starting offensive guard Terrence Campbell and starting defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboy.

Spurrier is back to his normal ways with quarterbacks as well. He has been riding presumed starter Stephen Garcia all summer, and while Garcia will start tonight true freshman Connor Shaw also will play. Spurrier said Shaw has outperformed Garcia, the Gamecocks’ starter last season, in team scrimmages and that both would play in the first quarter and then he’d go from there. Sophomore running back Kenny Miles will start over true freshman Marcus Lattimore, arguably the nation’s top recruit in the Class of 2010.

Meanwhile, Southern Miss is 2-0 in openers under coach Larry Fedora. The Golden Eagles have opened against an SEC team 15 times and have won just three of those – all 15 have come on the road. Southern Miss has lost eight in a row overall against SEC clubs. USM’s star is WR DeAndre Brown, who helped lead the team to the Conference USA title game last year by finishing with 785 yards receiving and nine touchdowns to lead the team. Those numbers are even more impressive considering he was slowed by recovering from a broken leg.

Be a player and bet at Bodog on whether Spurrier can win yet another season opener.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are big 28-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA odds for tonight’s season opener against Marshall, but a few factors might point to the Thundering Herd being able to cover the spread. This game will be shown on the Big Ten Network.

First off, OSU has struggled in season openers against fellow Division I teams in recent years. For example, in last year’s opener, the Buckeyes struggled with Navy’s option in a win that went down to the final minutes. In 2008, OSU beat MAC team Ohio by only a score of 26-14. And in 2007 the Buckeyes won an ugly 20-2 affair against Akron. Still, OSU is 9-0 in season openers under Coach Jim Tressel. OSU has not lost a home opener in 32 years.

Secondly, Ohio State plans to be a bit vanilla tonight because the Buckeyes have a huge date with Miami (Fla.) next weekend. Still, the Buckeyes are the preseason favorites to win the Big Ten, are ranked No. 2 in the major polls and feature one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Terrell Pryor, who remains the Bodog betting favorite to win the 2010 Heisman.

The second-ranked are the second-highest ranked team Marshall has ever played at the FBS level. Marshall has faced 14 Top 25 opponents since moving to the FBS level in 1997 and has an overall record of 2-12 in those games. Marshall is 0-13 against BCS opponents since 2005. Tonight’s game marks the debut of new coach Doc Holliday. Returning starting QB Brian Anderson struggled with inconsistency last season. He threw for 2,646 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, but he also threw 13 interceptions. And he’ll face a Buckeye defense that was one of the best in the nation in 2009.

Ohio State and Marshall have met just once before on Sept. 11, 2004, with the Buckeyes prevailing, 24-21, on a last-second field goal. OSU has lost just once in its history to current Conference USA teams.
