The Broncos will travel to New England to take on the Patriots in primetime on Monday. Here’s a look at that contest and the rest of the schedule in your Daily Sports Roundup.

World Series Odds

Las Vegas gives the Philadelphia Phillies a much better chance to end 25 years of misery in the City of Brotherly Love than the offshore and online sportsbooks. The land based Las Vegas betting line for the series is Tampa -135, while we saw Tampa open up at -180 at the Greek, it has dropped to -150. To say the least before betting the World Series line, shop around as the oddsmakers vary.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Placing wagers on the Broncos this season hasn’t been a lucrative pastime. Denver managed to pick up an ATS win over the Raiders in their season opener, but since then they’ve managed to go just 0-4-1 against the number. That puts the Broncos at 1-4-1 ATS on the season, a record which stands in contrast to their 4-2 straight-up mark. Last week against the Jaguars the Broncos were defeated 24-17 as a 3-point home favorite.

The Patriots have alternated ATS losses and wins so far this season – they managed to cover the spread twice, in Week 2 against the Jets and in Week 5 (after a bye) against the 49ers. New England was thumped 30-10 on the road against the Chargers last week, as 6-point underdogs. The Pats are 3-2 straight-up and 2-3 ATS on the season.

The oddsmakers opened the Patriots as 3-point home favorites against the Broncos, and that line stayed steady throughout the week. The total for the game is at 48 points. A strong menu as to who to bet tonight is at the homepage of OffshoreInsiders.com 
 
Other Notable Events

There are four games on the NHL’s schedule for Monday night: Pittsburgh at Boston, Dallas at the Rangers, Florida at Montreal, and Colorado at Los Angeles. The 6-1-1 Rangers lead the league in points, thanks in part to the jumpstart they got on the season over in Europe. The 4-0-1 Habs have yet to suffer a defeat in regulation time.

The Rest of the Schedule

The final week of the NBA’s exhibition schedule gets underway on Monday night, with Orlando at Atlanta, New York at New Jersey, Charlotte at Phoenix, and Portland at Sacramento. The league’s regular season will tip off with games Tuesday, October 28.

News from the Wire

DT Josh Shaw is OUT for Denver on Monday, while TE Tony Scheffler, WR Brandon Stokley, RB Ryan Torain, and RB Selvin Young are QUESTIONABLE. A host of Broncos, including WRs Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, are PROBABLE . . . LB Eric Alexander, DE Jarvis Green, RB LaMont Jordan, T Nick Kaczur, RB Laurence Maroney, WR Kelley Washington, CB Jonathan Wilhite are DOUBTFUL for the Patriots.

A Peek at the Future

Highlighting the Week 8 NFL schedule are Tampa Bay at Dallas, San Diego at New Orleans, Arizona at Carolina, the Giants at Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis at Tennessee. Chicago, Denver, Green Bay, and Minnesota are off next week . . . Games 1 and 2 of the World Series will be played on Wednesday and Thursday night, with the series shifting to Philadelphia for Games 3 through 5 on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night.
