Tampa Bay Bucs: 2010 Preview
07/09/2010 - 06:00
Last year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a terrible season, at the bottom of the league in both offense and defense. This year probably won’t be much different, but they will at least hope some pieces for the future will emerge and they will take some steps toward becoming a contender once again, rather than reassuming their former position of hapless organization. Last year their ATS record was 29th in the league at 6-10.
Offense
Not much to say here aside from...
2010 Carolina Panthers Preview
07/08/2010 - 06:00
Despite terrible play from quarterback Jake Delhomme last season, the Panthers managed to go 8-8 on the strength of a very good defense. This year, Mike Moore and rookie Jimmy Clausen will probably end up sharing quarterback duties as they transition to 2011. Last year, the Panthers had a 9-7 ATS record, good for 11th in the league.
Offense
The Panther offense is based around running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart and that will be doubly true this season. ...
Reds vs. Mets: Baseball Free Pick
07/07/2010 - 11:32
The Mets have surprisingly had a very good year thus far, sporting a 47-37 record and are 2.0 games behind the first place Atlanta Braves. Even more surprising might be the Cincinnati Reds’ season as they sit in first place – a position they have not been in this late in the season since 1999, the year of their last playoff appearance. The Reds send 8-4 Bronson Arroyo to the mound, while the Mets will be starting 6-2 Jon Niese. The Mets (-1.5) are the favorite in this matchup and...
New York Yankees v. Oakland Athletics
07/07/2010 - 11:29
The New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics go up against each other in Oakland tonight with the Yankees unsurprisingly in first place, albeit in a tough American League East, and the A’s 8.0 games behind the upstart Rangers in the American League West. It is an interesting pitching matchup with AJ Burnett going for the Yankees and Gio Gonzalez going for the A’s. New York (-1.5) will head into Oakland (+1.5) as the MLB betting favorite.
AJ Burnett is having a tough year for the...
Minnesota Vikings Season Preview
07/07/2010 - 06:00
The Vikings head into 2010 after a heartbreaking loss in the NFC Conference Championship to end 2009. Their success in 2010 largely hinges on if Brett Favre decides to return – sound familiar? In 2009, they Vikings went 9-6-1 against the spread, which was 6th in the NFL.

Make no mistake about it, the Vikings are hoping very hard for...
Netherlands advance to World Cup Final
07/06/2010 - 17:33
Ever since the 2008 Euro tournament, the Netherlands have burst onto the scene as arguably one of the best international football teams in the world. There was no doubt that the Oranje were a great football team, but the form they showed in that tournament really made everyone believe that they would be a force to be reckoned with in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The Netherlands were heavy favorites coming into the game against Uruguay and played dominantly -- especially in the second...

Red Sox vs. Yankees Betting
07/06/2010 - 11:54
The AL East is very easily the most talented division in baseball. With the Boston Red Sox (5/2), New York Yankees (4/7), and Tampa Bay Rays (10/3), there is not much chance for even a solid team like the Blue Jays (100/1) to compete for the divisional crown. A completely inept team like the Orioles is all but mathematically eliminated, so we won’t worry about them.

St. Louis Cardinals v. Colorado Rockies Odds
07/06/2010 - 11:33
The Colorado Rockies (-1.5) and St. LouisCardinals (+1.5) square off for the first time in 2010 tonight at Coors Field. The 45-37 Cardinals are 2.0 games behind the Cincinnati Reds for first place in the NL Central, while the Rockies are 44-38, which puts them 3.5 games out of the NL Wild Card spot. Last year, in seven games, the Rockies went 6-1 against the Cardinals, and enter tonight’s game as the favorites.
The Cards will send Blake Hawksworth, who started 2010 as a reliever, to...
2010 Cleveland Browns Preview
07/06/2010 - 11:00
The Cleveland Browns have been in the running for the title of “League Doormat” since their inception in 1999, with brief periods of semi-success in 2002 when they lost a heartbreaker in the first round of the playoffs to the Steelers, and in 2007 when a weak schedule propelled them to a 10-6 record. Cleveland was one of the best teams against the spread last season, having a 10-6 record, good for 5th in the league.
Offense
Jake Delhomme, who has been...

2010 Preview – USC Trojans
07/05/2010 - 17:52
Last year, USC finished at 9-4, going 5-4 in the Pac 10, losing three of their last five games. With Lane Kiffin taking over for Pete Carroll, who has left for the NFL, it should be interesting to see in which direction he takes them. In 2009, USC had an 8-4 record against the spread.
Offense
Matt Barkley had a bit of a tough time down the stretch last year, playing as a true freshman for one of the nation’s premier programs. Now entering his sophomore year, he...
Browns vs Bucs: Week 1 NFL Spread
07/05/2010 - 06:00
This is one of the uglier games of Week 1 spread betting and anyone wagering should do so at their own risk. The favored Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-1) go into Cleveland to face the Browns (+1) to kick off the season in what should prove to be a game to forget.
The Browns are going to put the ball in the hands of young running back Jerome Harrison, who impressed everyone in a very short time last year. Jake Delhomme will throw the ball to the likes of Josh Cribbs and...
2010 Redskins Preview
07/04/2010 - 13:00
Though Dan Snyder’s tenure has been filled with big splash leading to bigger disappointment after big splash leading to bigger disappointment, perhaps nobody has epitomized this theme more than defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. The Redskins finished with an ATS record last season of 6-8-2, which was good for 23rd in the football betting rankings.
Offense
Perhaps the biggest shakeup in the NFL this year is Donovan McNabb moving to Eagles division rival Washington Redskins....
New Orleans Saints 2010 Preview
07/04/2010 - 11:00
For the first time ever, the New Orleans Saints have been crowned Super Bowl Champions. They were in the middle of the pack last year going against the spread with an 8-8 ATS record – good for 15th in the NFL betting rankings.
Offense
What more can be said about Drew Brees that was not said last year? He has launched himself into the top echelon of NFL quarterbacks, and commands a very powerful New Orleans offense that led the NFL in points scored last season with 510....
