Football bettors will remember last season’s epic playoff battle in the final game in the history of the RCA Dome, a game that San Diego won 28-24 to advance to the AFC Championship Game. The Colts were 10.5-point favorites that day, but the Chargers covered their fourth straight game between these two teams with ease.
The Indianapolis swagger appears to be coming back. The Colts have won three straight games, with the most recent win coming against the Houston Texans. It didn’t come without a fight though, as the Texans gave Indy a real battle, ultimately losing 33-27, but sticking in front of the 9-point spread on...

The last time these squads hooked up was back in 2006 in Green Bay. The Saints were short favorites that day and put the Pack away by a 34-27 final count. The last time Green Bay visited the Bayou was back in 2002 in a game the host Saints won, 35-20. With respect to the series between Green Bay and New Orleans, the Pack holds a 6-2 ATS and 5-3 SU advantage since 1987.
Green Bay made a huge statement last Sunday against the visiting Chicago Bears. Oddsmakers only favored the hosts by 3.5-points, a line they obliterated by bouncing their division rivals by the resounding score of 37-3. The defense was fantastic, holding Chicago to 234 yards of offense and scored a touchdown when Jason Hunter rumbled a fumbl...

Most recently, the Tigers knocked of the Rebels 41-24 in Oxford, but Ole Miss got the best of the football betting match-up. The last time these teams met in Baton Rouge was in ’06, and in a thrilling overtime game, the Tigers avoided the upset as 28.5-point home favorites with a 23-20 victory.
Mississippi bettors had a cakewalk last weekend, as its Rebels routed Louisiana-Monroe 59-0 on homecoming weekend. QB Jevan Snead only completed six passes, but he finished the day with 170 yards and three scores, to go with his two rushing touchdowns. The running game racked up a whopping 350 yards and averaged 6.6 yards per carry in the victory.

As the college football betting season winds down, the bitter rivalries across the country are just beginning to heat up. On Saturday afternoon, two long-time rivals face off in Annapolis when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-4, 5-4 ATS) look to avenge last year’s loss to the Navy Midshipmen (6-3, 4-4 ATS). Last year’s 46-44 win in South Bend marked the first victory for the Naval Academy over the Irish in 43 years. The Middies already know they are headed to the EagleBank Bowl, but Notre Dame still needs one more victory to assure itself of bowl eligibility.
Notre Dame bettors were embarrassed last weekend against another one of its rivals, Boston College. They were whitewashed 17-0, the third time the Irish have been shut out in the past two seasons. QB Jimmy Clausen had a learning experience of sorts against the relentless BC defense. He completed 26-of-46 passes for 226 yards and tossed four interceptions. ND’s rushing attack wasn’t much better, as it only managed 66 yard...

Two of the best teams for sports betting fans hit the gridiron this week in the Meadowlands when the Baltimore Ravens (6-3, 7-2 ATS) take the short road trip to do battle with the New York Giants (8-1, 7-2 ATS). The Ravens dominated their only regular season meeting at Giants Stadium back in 2004, knocking off the G-Men 37-14, easily covering the 10.5-point spread. The only other time these two teams have met since the Ravens moved to Baltimore was in Super Bowl XXXV, when Baltimore hammered the Giants 34-7. Both teams have their sights set on the Super Bowl yet again, and the winner of this game will have a huge leg up towards securing a playoff birth.
Oddsmakers gave no respect to the Ravens last weekend, as they were short underdogs in Houston against the lowly Texans. Baltimore was successful in just about every aspect of the game. QB Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes, RB Willis McGahee ran for 112 yards and two scores of his own, and TE Todd Heap hauled in five balls...
-
Though neither team is likely to run down the Giants atop the NFC East, the winner of this one will have a huge advantage in the race for one of the two Wild Card spots in the conference.
There isn’t a team in the NFL that needed their bye week more than the Cowboys. QB Tony Romo has been on the shelf for three week, and the Cowboys offense has struggled mightily during that time. QBs Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger have combined to turn the ball over six times in Romo’s absence. Though it...
-
Green Bay marched into Nashville facing the seemingly impossible task of knocking off the undefeated Titans. Though it didn’t remove Tennessee from the ranks of the unbeaten, it forced the Titans into overtime, and covered the 3.5-point spread for its betting backers in spite of losing 19-16.
It wasn’t the greatest game in QB Aaron Rodgers’ career, as he only completed 22-of-41 passes for 314 yards and one touchdown, but turned the ball over twice. WR Donald Driver was the main highlight, grabbing seven balls for 136 yards and a score.
-
This will be a rematch of their 2006 meeting at Cleveland Browns Stadium, a game which the visiting Broncos came out victorious by a 17-7 final count. Denver is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in their three meetings with the Browns since 2000.
No team in the NFL has been harsher to its sports bettors than the Broncos, who continued their cover-less streak dating back to the opening weekend of the season by dropping a 26-17 decision to Miami in Week 10. The lack of a rushing game was apparent, as the Broncos only ran for 14 yards on 12 carries. Both RBs Michael Pittman and Andre Hall will miss the rest of the season with injuries. QB Jay Cutler, who got off to a tremendously hot sta...

Pittsburgh is coming off of a tough pro football betting 21-14 home loss to the Giants last Sunday. Meanwhile, Washington became the latest team to beat up on the hapless Detroit Lions, securing a 25-17 road victory that covered the NFL gambling line by a single point.
Pro Bowl QB Ben Roethlisberger had his worst game of the season last week against the Giants, only completing 13-of-29 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown while throwing four interceptions in the defeat. Along with the four interceptions, Roethlisberger was also sacked five times and only converted 1-of-10 third downs. Pitt’s offense also went 0-4 on 4th down conversion attempts.
-
It was touch and go the entire way for the defending AFC Champs, but the Patriots avoided an embarrassing loss to the Rams by picking up a narrow 23-16 victory at Gillette Stadium. Patriots’ bettors never really had a chance to cover the spread even though they only fell two points short of the NFL betting line.
QB Matt Cassel continued his best effort to replace superstar Tom Brady, but only went 21/33 for 267 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He’ll need to do better than t...

Tennessee was again toothless as rival Alabama held the Vols offense in check in a 29-9 win last Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks had this past weekend off after a disappointing 24-17 loss against the NCAA betting line at the hands of LSU despite leading 17-10 at halftime.
To say that Tennessee’s offense has struggled is an understatement as the Vols have now been held to 14 points or less in five of their eight games. This lack of offensive production has meant a gold mine for gamblers who bet on NCAA football games to go under the ‘total’ with the Volunteers last seven games going ‘under’ the c...

Online sports gambling gets its annual shot in the arm on Tuesday night, as the NBA betting season gets underway. On tap is an intriguing game for NBA handicappers, as the new-look Milwaukee Bucks take on the Chicago Bulls. Basketball sportsbooks have set the Bulls as 6-point favorites in this contest, with the total at 194.
Chicago is coming off a disappointing season that ended up paying big dividends, as the Bulls’ futility landed them the NBA Draft’s No. 1 pick, which they used to select Chicago native Derrick Rose. The former Memphis Tigers star, who led them to the national championship game in his only collegiate season, is expected to come off the bench for the Bulls under new head coach Vinny Del Negro. The rookie head coach has the difficult task of leading Chicago to the basketball pla...

The Philadelphia Phillies moved one step closer towards locking up the City of Brotherly Love’s first major championship since 1983 on Wednesday night when they knocked off the Tampa Bay Rays in the first game of the Fall Classic 3-2. LHP Cole Hamels was fantastic in his first career World Series outing, scattering five hits and allowing just two runs over seven innings. 2B Chase Utley blasted a 1st inning two-run homer that gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead they would never relinquish. He also stole two of Philadelphia’s three bases. Rays LHP Scott Kazmir labored through six innings, allowing three runs and striking out four. MLB bettors will get another chance to wager on the World Series tonight when the two teams square off in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series.
RHP Brett Myers will be the man on the mound for the second game of this series for Philadelphia. He doesn’t have the greatest numbers in two postseason starts this year, allowing seven runs over 12 innings and a WHIP...
-
Since 2001, the road team has dominated this series, winning four games outright, three of which were won by the underdog. Their most recent meeting came back in 2005 when Jacksonville knocked Cleveland off 20-14 as three-point favorites.
This game is critical for either team’s playoff hopes, as both could fall four games behind in their respective divisions with a loss.
-
Manager Charlie Manuel will hand the ball to his ace, LHP Cole Hamels to open up World Series play. The lefty has been fantastic in his postseason starts, winning all three to date. All three outings resulted in winners for baseball bettors who parlayed the Phils and the 'under'. Hamels has allowed just 19 base runners and three earned runs in 22 innings.

Though most teams have struggled in recent years against the mighty Pats, HC Mike Shanahan’s Broncos have found a lot of success. They have both won and covered the spread in five of their previous six meetings with New England, including back-to-back victories on the road.
Denver might be 4-2 and on top of the AFC West, but they’re certainly not #1 in the hearts of their football bettors. They haven’t covered a spread since thrashing Oakland 41-14 in the opening weekend of the season, including two outright losses as favorites.
-
Though San Diego is 3-1 SU in their L/4 meetings, Bills bettors have dominated the NFL betting lines, as they have gone 3-1 ATS in the four match-ups. These two teams most recently met in 2006, a game that the Chargers won 24-21 in Buffalo, but the Bills stuck in front of the 6-point spread.
If you throw out the dud game that they put up in Miami two weeks ago, th...

Because these teams are on opposite sides of the Big XII, they haven’t met since 2005. That game saw Texas beat the Tigers by a commanding score of 51-20, easily covering the 15.5-point spread. They’ve won four straight and seven out of their L/8 with Missouri, and are a perfect 4-0 SU in Austin.
Missouri bettors were stunned by their 28-23 loss in Columbia against the Oklahoma State Cowboys last weekend. They were favored by two touchdowns, but never firmly got the offense on track in a game where they were implied to score over 45 points by the oddsmakers. QB Chase Daniel completed 39-of-52 passes for 390 yards, but...

The #7 Red Raiders will hope to keep pace in the Big XII South, where Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas are all a perfect 5-0, while Nebraska is attempting to just stay in the Big XII North race and avoid dropping to 0-2 in conference play.
It’s becoming very clear that the Black Shirt defense that led Nebraska to dominance in the 1990s is no longer around in Lincoln. Last week, in a nationally televised primetime game, the Huskers did battle with the Missouri Tigers and were double-digit home underdogs for the first time this decade. For the sake of Cornhus...

The last four times these two teams hooked up, the Ravens have been dominated, dropping four consecutive games to the Colts by an average of 15.0 points per game; they’re 0-4 ATS as well.
Baltimore played an absolute slobber-knocker of a game in its Week 5 betting match-up with the Tennessee Titans. The Ravens were slender one-point home underdogs according to the closing football betting lines. Though the two teams were never separated by more than one score, the Ravens didn’t trail for their bettors until the dying minutes.

These two teams have met three times over the past three seasons. Green Bay won both playoff games at Lambeau Field, while the Seahawks took their one regular season meeting 34-24 at home back in 2006. Green Bay bettors hold the upper hand for sports bettors as well, edging out the Seahawks 2-0-1 ATS over that span.
With the health of QB Aaron Rodgers in question, the Packers struggled mightily against the Atlanta Falcons at home last weekend. Green Bay was only favored by 3.5-points, suggesting that the oddsmakers were planning on QB Matt Flynn making his first career start. Not only did Rodgers start, but he was incredibly effective, completing 25-of-37 passes for 313 yards and three scores.

The National Football League enters its fifth week of football wagering, and Bookmaker Sportsbook can handle all of the NFL bets you care to place. On Sunday afternoon, the Indianapolis Colts (1-2, 1-2 ATS) head to the Lone Star State to clash with their AFC South rivals, the Houston Texans (0-3, 1-2 ATS). In the brief history of the Texans, these two teams have met twelve times. Indy owns an 11-1 SU advantage, but the NFL bettors of both teams are 6-6 ATS. All-time, the Colts have outscored the Texans 368-199.
Colts fans hoped that the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium would have gone a bit brighter. In their two home games in ’08, Indianapolis is 0-2 SU and ATS, and they’ve been outscored by an average of nine points per game. For a team that scored more than 22 points in 12 out of 17 games last season, Colts bettors have been surprised to see that they’ve yet to score more than three touchdowns in a single game this year. QB Peyton Manning may still be feeling t...

A pair of teams with playoff aspirations hook up in the Mile High City, and Bookmaker Sportsbook offers up all of the football wagering you can handle when the Denver Broncos (3-1, 1-2-1 ATS) put their best record in the AFC West on the line against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1, 3-1 ATS). These two teams don’t have much of a history, but in their L/4 meetings, the Bucs hold a 2-0-2 ATS advantage over the Broncos. They last met at Tampa Bay back in 2004 where the Broncos stole a 16-13 road win at Raymond James Stadium as three-point road favorites.
The Bucs won their third straight game in their Week 4 betting match-up with the Green Bay Packers. Oddsmakers installed Tampa Bay as short favorites last weekend, a line Bucs bettors beat by scoring ten points in the final 2:30 of the game. Defensive Coordinator Monte Kiffin’s stop unit forced four turnovers and knocked QB Aaron Rodgers out of the game with a shoulder injury in the 4th quarter. The rush d...

The sixth week of the college football betting season is upon us, and Bookmaker.com has all of your football wagering options covered. Two bitter in-state and in-conference rivals take center stage on Saturday afternoon when the Florida State Seminoles (3-1, 1-1 ATS) head south to take on the Miami Hurricanes (2-2, 2-1 ATS). These storied rivals have met 51 times heading into this season, with the Canes owning a 30-21 advantage. Last year in Tallahassee, Miami came from behind 29-24 with under 2:00 remaining to shock the Noles 37-29. Hurricanes bettors had the game covered before the comeback, as they were 5.5-point underdogs per the closing betting line.
Florida State put together a solid effort in all phases of the game last Saturday in Jacksonville against Colorado. It was just the third multi-touchdown game in the career of RB Antone Smith, who ran for 154 yards and a career-high three touchdowns against what was thought to be a stout Buffs run defense. The...

The fifth week of the college football betting season is upon us, and Bookmaker Sportsbook has all of your wagering options covered. Two teams heading in opposite directions clash in a neutral site game at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on Saturday afternoon when the Colorado Buffalos (3-0, 2-0 ATS) do battle with the Florida State Seminoles (2-1, 0-1 ATS). Last year, these two teams hooked up in Boulder. The Noles won an ugly game 16-6, covering the spread as 4.5-point road favorites.
The Buffs made a huge statement to the college football world on Thursday night when they took out the #22 West Virginia Mountaineers. Even though they gave up 311 yards on the ground to the mighty Mountaineers offense, the Colorado defense stood tall in the clutch. WVU couldn’t establish anything through the air, as QB Pat White only managed to throw for a paltry 43 yards on the night. RB Rodney Stewart was amazing for the hosts, rushing for 166 yards on 28 carries. It all added...
