Leave a comment

Yes, sharp players are counting down the days until preseason NFL betting begins. However, between now and NFL picks season, there is plenty of money to be made.

Topping the list is the UFC 101 betting lines which has two headline bouts. BJ Penn takes on Kenny Florian. “The Prodgiy” Penn has never lost at 155 pounds and is -230.

Meanwhile, in a battle of big boys, Anderson Silva goes toe-to-toe with Forrest Griffin. The Spider Silva is a prohibitive -350 and brings an impressive 24-4 mark into the ring.

The card at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia marks the Ultimate Fighting debut in the City of Brotherly Love. Extra security will be on hand for the fight in case a Philadelphia Flyers game breaks out.

Super sportsbook BetOnline has UFC picks in which they analyze why Forrest Griffin will pull the big upset.

While Penn-Florian and Silva-Griffin headline the card, the undercard has some tremendous matchups. Richardo Almeida is -165 to Kendall Grove and Josh Neer is -220 to Kurt Pellegrino highlighting the opening acts.

The first bout is at 8:15 EST, while PPV kicks in (no pun intended) at 10:00.

Colliding in the Junior Circuit  . . .

Jon Lester (9-7, 3.79 ERA) will try to pitch the Red Sox to a win over the Athletics on Thursday afternoon in a light day around the American League; Boston is 8-2 in the lefthander’s last 10 trips to the mound. Lester’s opponent in that contest will be lefthander Gio Gonzalez (2-2, 7.75 ERA), who beat the Yankees last time out. There are just three other games on the AL slate for Thursday, with Kansas City at Baltimore, Seattle at Texas and then finally the Yankees at the White Sox.

Sports Headlines…

Will anyone leave the ESPN beauty queen alone? Now TMZ claims they have the Erin Andrews 911 call in which she complains about paparazzi stalking her outside of her Georgia house. The media idiots left without incident…For those who check winning scores via IPhone, please note an Apple IPhone virus is expected to be unleashed today…We love the headlines “Roy Halladay May Remain a Blue Jay.” Thanks for the scoop. In related news, Reverend Ike may be dead and Michael Vick may sign with the Washington Redskins, though he may also sign with another team.

Clashing in the Senior Circuit . . .

It’ll be Rodrigo Lopez (3-0, 3.09 ERA) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (3-9, 4.92 ERA) on Thursday night as the Phillies begin a series in San Francisco. Righthander Lopez has given up just eight earned runs over his 23 1-3 innings of work so far this season, and Philadelphia is 4-0 in his four starts. Lefthander Sanchez has put up middling results since pitching a no-hitter back on July 10, allowing eight earned runs over his last 11 innings of work. The Giants lost his last two outings.

Also on the National League schedule for Thursday: Colorado at the Mets, San Diego at Cincinnati, Washington at Milwaukee, Houston at the Cubs, Atlanta at Florida, and the Dodgers at St. Louis. Hiroki Kuroda (3-5, 4.57 ERA) gets the ball for Los Angeles in that matchup; righthander Kuroda hasn’t won since July 3, but the Dodgers are 3-0 in his last three starts. The Cards counter with righthander Kyle Lohse (4-6, 4.35 ERA); St. Louis has won just two of Lohse’s last 10 outings.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

The PGA Tour returns to the United States on Thursday for the opening round of the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Tiger Woods is pegged as the even-money Vegas favorite to get the win at the tournament despite his poor showing at the British Open two weeks ago. His biggest competitor, Jim Furyk, sits second on the list at 10/1 odds to grab the victory. Justin Leonard, Brian Gay, and Nick Watney trail those two at 20/1 odds.

The Canadian Football League begins its fifth week on Thursday night with Montreal at Edmonton. The Alouettes remain perfect at 4-0 on the season (3-1 against-the-spread), and they’re pegged as 6.5-point road favorites for Thursday’s matchup. The Eskimos sit in a three-way tie atop the CFL’s West Division with a 2-2 mark through their first four games – although they’re only 1-3 ATS on the year. The oddsmakers have Thursday’s total pegged at 54.5 points.

Finally, the WNBA offers up four games on Thursday, with San Antonio at Sacramento, Connecticut at Indiana, Washington at New York, and Phoenix at Atlanta. The Mercury got past Connecticut 95-80 last time out to move to 14-5 SU and ATS on the season; Cappie Pondexter exploded for 29 points in that contest. The Dream sit at 8-10 SU but a lucrative 11-5-2 ATS on the season after topping Detroit 98-95 last time out. Ivory Latta tossed in 22 points in that victory.
