College Football Betting

The nation's top betting experts from OffshoreInsiders.com bring you news and notes of interest to the bettor.

Iowa-Michigan State

Iowa will have the services of RB Shonn Greene, who suffered a head injury to Northwestern. Greene is averaging a splendid 6.7 yards per rush and 133 yards rushing per game.

Oklahoma-Baylor

Mike Godsey, the top football handicapper ever, and part of the Dream Team of GodsTips on OffshoreInsiders.com, says this is a look ahead game for Oklahoma as they play Texas next. Look for the Sooners to rest injured DL Demarcus Granger and Frank Alexander.

Connecticut-North Carolina

The Huskies are going to be without starting QB Tyler Lorenzen and TE Steve Brouse. Sophomore Zach Frazer gets the start for UConn. In relief of Lorenzen, Frazer went 8-for-15 to Louisville with a TD.

Rutgers-West Virginia

Mountaineers QB Pat White is expected to play despite a bruised thumb. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says "it's about White's legs anyway. He could have finished last week," but was taken out as a precaution in WVU's 27-3 rout of state rival Marshall.

Washington-Arizona

Washington starting QB Jake Locker is out. In four games, he's thrown for 512 yards, rushed for 180 and has a TD with his arm and three with his legs. Redshirt freshman Ronnie Fouch takes over. The Huskies will change the complexion of their offense as Fouch is a more traditional passer.

Texas Tech-Kansas State

Kansas State S Gary Chandler is suspended. He was the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year last year with 54 tackles.

Arizona State-California

California will be without RB Jahvid Best. This is a devastating injury as he ranks third in the country in all-purpose yards at 215.5 per game. For the best sports service picks in college football, check out OffshoreInsiders.com   

 

Official Betting Preview of Florida Atlantic-Middle Tennessee State

Here is the official betting preview of Florida Atlantic and Middle Tennessee State. The sportsbooks have MTSU as a 2-2.5 point favorite, with a total of 51.

FAU is 1-3 straight up, including 0-3 on the road. They are 2-2 against the spread and have gone over all three road contests. MTSU is also 1-3 straight up, but 1-1 at home. They are likewise 2-2 against the spread and all four of their games have gone under.

The Owls are 3-2 all-time straight up to the Red Raiders. We thought they were the Moccasins. FAU's quarterback Rusty Smith has thrown five interceptions against just four TDs. The Owls have been smashed by a combined 54-3 in their last two games. Smith, the preseason Sun Belt Player of the Year has completed just 25 of his last 68 passes.

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says that Smith and his supporting cast are capable of much more. "Most of the starting lineup for an offense that averaged 31.2 points per game last year is back."

MTSU has not faired much better, giving up 31 points in each of their Sun Belt Conference contests. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says that MTSU has a very small and inexperienced offensive line. However, the Owls have shown no ability to stop mobile quarterbacks in the spread offense.

Keep in mind that Middle Tennessee does hold a win over Maryland, which was the Terrapins only setback in five games this year.

Neither team is facing a short week, each having not played in 10 days. The top football betting service in America is GodsTips. They have a huge play on tonight's game. Details are on the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com

Tuesday Betting

The Minnesota Twins will be looking to punch their ticket to the postseason on Tuesday night by beating the Chicago White Sox. Here's a look in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

You won't want to shine the spotlight too brightly on Tuesday's college football matchup, as it's an underwhelming affair between 1-3 Florida Atlantic and 1-3 Middle Tennessee. The Owls managed to beat UAB a few weeks ago, but they couldn't get much going against any of Texas, Michigan State, or Minnesota. The Blue Raiders' lone win came against Maryland, and they've been beaten by Troy, Kentucky, and Arkansas State.

When these Sun Belt teams met last season Florida Atlantic came away with a 27-14 home win as 2.5-point favorites. Middle Tennessee had won the previous two meetings between these teams by identical scores of 35-14 (one at home, one on the road), covering the spread twice. The Blue Raiders opened as 1.5-point favorites for Tuesday.

The White Sox managed to beat the Tigers in their makeup game on Monday, so now they'll battle the Twins in a one-game playoff for first place in the AL Central and MLB's final postseason berth on Tuesday. The winner of this game will move on to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, with that series getting underway Thursday afternoon.

The Twins will send Nick Blackburn (11-10, 4.15 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday, and the White Sox will counter with John Danks (11-9, 3.47 ERA). Righthander Blackburn beat the White Sox in his last outing, surrendering just two earned runs on eight hits over five innings. Lefthander Danks wasn't as sharp in his last start, as he was knocked around for seven earned runs on seven hits over four innings of work by the Indians.

Survivor Gabon on CBS

One of the best sportsbooks for exotic odds Sportsbook.com has posted Ace Gordon as the Survivor Gabon favorite at +300. Crystal Cox and Matty Whitmore are next at +500. Dan Kay and Marcus Lehman are just a notch behind at +550.

The same bookmaker has the betting odds posted for the Amazing Race on CBS. Nick/Starr is the prohibitive favorite at +200. Andrew and Dan as well as Ken/Tina and Terenace/Sarah are +440. Personally we like Heidi Strobel.

In the past, the oddsmakers have foreseen the success of Mike Boschetti from "Last Comic Standing" and the winners of American Idol.

The Rest of the Schedule

It's another slow day for sports on Tuesday, so your only other options are preseason hockey or whatever football games you have saved on your TiVo from the weekend.

Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers

Here is the official betting preview of the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. The sportsbooks have Pittsburgh as the five-point favorite with a total of 34-34.5. Based on yards allowed per game, these are statistically the league's top two defenses.

Because of Hurricane Ike, the Ravens had an unscheduled bye week and have played just two games, winning and covering both. This is their first road game and their toughest foe.

The Steelers are 2-1 straight up and 1-2 versus the number. This is their only home game in a five game stretch in which four-of-five are on the highway. The won and covered their only home game so far crushing Houston 38-17. Their last two games have produced a total of 16 and 21 points combined.

The Steelers defense has carried them. According to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com, they are allowing just 2.8 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 3.8, 4.9 yards per pass to 5.8 and 4.1 yards per play to 5.0.

There are several key injuries for tonight's game. The Steelers will be without their leading rusher Willie Parker, meaning rookie first-rounder Rashard Mendenhall gets his first career start. In the past four series meetings, no Pittsburgh running back has exceeded 42 yards rushing.

Two key players will start but could be less than 100 percent: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and Ravens RB Willis McGahee.

Out for Baltimore is key defender Samari Rolle. They will start Corey Ivy or Frank Walker, two players who looked horrible in the preseason according to Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com.

The Steelers rush defense has also been great in the series, allowing just 81.8 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry in the last five meetings at Heinz Field. The Steelers are a stunningly spectacular 13-0 straight up on MNF since 1992. Baltimore meanwhile is trying to snap a six-game primetime losing streak.

If you are betting on this game, the biggest side and total are detailed on the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com

Vegas Odds For Dancing With the Stars, Monday Night Football and MLB Playoffs

The Ravens will be looking to run their record to 3-0 on the season on Monday night when they go to Pittsburgh to play the rival Steelers. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Baltimore is 2-0 on the year, thanks to games against struggling division rivals Cincinnati and Cleveland and an unexpected, hurricane-imposed bye in Week 2. The Ravens began the year by beating the Bengals 17-10 at home, and followed up that result by topping the Browns 28-10 at home last week. Baltimore managed to pick up an ATS win in both of those contests, while the OVER/UNDER is at 1-1 for them this year.

Pittsburgh was tagged with their first loss of the year last weekend, falling 15-6 in Philadelphia as 3.5-point underdogs. The Steelers began the campaign by thumping the Texans 38-17, and they then squeaked past the Browns 10-6 in Week 2. That puts Pittsburgh at 2-1 straight-up and 1-2 against-the-spread on the season, and only their easy victory over Houston in Week 1 has provided an OVER result for their supporters.

The Ravens and Steelers split their season series 1-1 last year, with each team winning and covering at home (in a pair of OVER results). For Monday night the oddsmakers have Pittsburgh listed as a 5-point home favorite, with the total pegged at just 34 points. Steelers RB Willie Parker will miss Monday's game with a knee injury, leaving Rashard Mendenhall as their starter. Ravens DB Samari Rolle (shoulder/neck) is OUT as well.

Other Notable Events

There's a single baseball game on the schedule for Monday, with Gavin Floyd (16-8, 3.91 ERA) and the White Sox hosting Freddy Garcia (1-1, 4.50 ERA) and the Tigers in a makeup contest. If Chicago manages to beat Detroit in the Monday matinee they'll then play a one-game playoff against the Twins on Tuesday to decide the AL Central title.

As well, the New York Liberty and the Detroit Shock will play the third and deciding game of the WNBA's Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night (at Eastern Michigan University). The Shock rallied to avoid elimination on Sunday afternoon, with Deanna Nolan pouring in a team-high 22 points in their 64-55 win over the Liberty in Game 2.

Divisional Championship Odds

The live game odds at press time have not been posted for the respective Game 1 matchups, nor have the series odds, though both will be up very shortly and likely by the time you read this. Of course the Tigers-White Sox contest will help determine the matchups. Check the link shortly for the Vegas odds on the Brewers-Phillies, Dodgers-Cubs and Red Sox-Angels.

NFL Injuries for Fantasy Football and the NFL Odds

Fantasy football injuries are perfect for making NFL expert picks against the spread and we have the ultimate NFL injury report.

Chargers-Raiders

Darren McFadden, the Raiders rookie sensation RB is questionable with a toe injury, but Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com says he will start. He will not get his full workload though. This is key because fellow RB Justin Fargas is out. Michael Bush is the only other tailback.

Oakland is going to be short-handed on defense as starters Nnamdi Asomugha, Derrick Burgess, and Gerald Warren are all banged up. The Bolts LaDainian Tomlinson is close to 100 percent, but remember he is off a short week because of playing Monday night to the Jets.

Eagles-Bears

There are a ton of injuries for tonight. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb will play, but star running back Brian Westbrook is considered questionable to doubtful.

The Bears DT Tommie Harris will be a game time decision. He is less likely to play than return man Devin Hester and WR Brandon Lloyd, both also considered game time decisions. This game is one of four NFL Wise Guy plays from the top betting service of all-time GodsTips. They are 8-1 for the year with regular season NFL Wise Guy plays.

49ers-Saints

Cardinals-Jets

Jets QB Brett Favre is listed as questionable but will start. CB Justin Miller missed the first three games for the Jets but is a game time decision to return.

Texans-Jaguars

The Jags will likely be without two defensive starters, S Reggie Nelson and LB Justin Durant. Also out C Brad Meester and G Crhis Naeole.

RBs Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor are probable and WR Jerry Porter will make his much anticipated debut. Washed up RB Ahman Green may be available but rookie Steve Slaton gets the start for the Texans.

Bills-Rams

The Rams will have to avoid sundry distractions and head coach Scott Linehan attempting to save his job, benched QB Marc Bulger and will start aged Trent Green. Star RB Steven Jackson expressed discontent at the move. Jackson, by the way, should be at full-speed for the first time all year.

Packers-Buccaneers

The Packers are without one of their most valuable defensive players CB Al Harris. "Considering he played 83 straight games, it would be foolish to underestimate the impact of this injury," says the world's top NFL betting expert Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com.

They will also be without S Atari Bigby. However RB Ryan Grant will be as healthy as he has been any game this season.

Vikings-Titans

Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson is listed on the injury report, but NFL insider Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says he will play.

The NFL stages its Week 4 on Sunday, while baseball concludes its regular-season schedule. This week's NFL trends, free NFL expert pick and NFL betting odds are up.  

Here's a glimpse at the action in today's edition of the Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans, Broncos, Bills, and Cowboys will all be looking to run their records to 4-0 on Sunday when they take to the field. Tennessee and Dallas are both favored at home in their games; the Titans are favored by 3 points against the Vikings, while the Cowboys will be looking to cover an 11-point spread against the Redskins. The Broncos and Bills are both road favorites; it's Denver (-10) at Kansas City, and Buffalo (-8) at St. Louis.

At the other end of the standings, the 0-3 Bengals will play host to the 0-3 Browns on Sunday afternoon. The loser of that AFC North matchup will be in a huge hole in the playoff race, and the oddsmakers have given the Bengals the 3.5-point edge to win.

Other Sunday afternoon matchups include San Francisco at New Orleans (-5), Arizona at the Jets (-1), Green Bay at Tampa Bay (-1), Atlanta at Carolina (-6.5), and Houston at Jacksonville (-7). As well, the 1-2 Chargers will be looking to get their record back to the .500 mark when they take on the 1-2 Raiders in Oakland as big 7.5-point road favorites.

Rounding out the Sunday NFL schedule will be Philadelphia at Chicago at 8:15pm ET. The Eagles are 2-1 in the tight NFC East, while the Bears have struggled to a 1-2 record on the season. And even though this game is being played at Soldier Field the Eagles have been pegged as the 3-point favorites, with the total listed at 40 points.

The sports betting market is thriving even if WaMu, Bank of America, Wachovia and others are failing you. Now only the sportsbooks need to be bailed out? Why?

GodsTips clients have made a bloody fortune since preseason. We are 8-1 in the regular season with Wise Guy plays. You have a season high four NFL Wise Guy plays today and six Majors.

California Vulcans Ready to Win PSAC

What's this about? Just a cheap attempt of Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy to brag that his alma mater, the California Vulcans beat their chief rival, the Indiana PA Indians, expect the sissies they are, they don't even call themselves Indians anymore.

Back to Division 1 or the FBS, whatever it's called. Penn State football is back, but the USC Trojans, Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators await to see how far they've dropped in the college football polls. Regardless, the opening college football odds will be up later today and OffshoreInsiders.com will have them.

Other Notable Events

The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will hit the track at Kansas Speedway on Sunday afternoon for the Camping World RV 400 presented by Coleman. Greg Biffle has won each of the first two Chase events, and he'll be trying to make it three in a row on Sunday. Biffle and Johnson are tied for second place in the current driver standings, 10 points back of Carl Edwards. Jeff Burton and Kevin Harvick are sitting fourth and fifth.

Biffle won the series' event at Kansas last season, and he's tied with Johnson, Edwards, and Kyle Busch as the 6/1 Vegas favorite to take the checkered flag on Sunday. Tony Stewart, who won the Banquet 400 at Kansas back in 2006, is pegged at 11/1 odds to visit victory lane. Two-time Kansas champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 15/1.

The Rest of the Schedule

The NL Wild Card berth is still in play, with the Mets and Brewers now tied in that race. Milwaukee will send CC Sabathia (10-2, 1.78 ERA in the NL) to the mound at home against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon, while Oliver Perez (10-7, 4.25 ERA) will try to pitch the Mets past the Marlins at home at the same time. If those teams are still tied at the end of the day on Sunday they'll play a one-game playoff Monday in New York.

Also still to be decided is the AL Central title, with the White Sox and Mark Buehrle (14-12, 3.87 ERA) hosting Cleveland on Sunday, and the Twins and Scott Baker (10-4, 3.59 ERA) getting a visit from Kansas City. Minnesota has a half-game lead on Chicago in the division, and they can clinch top spot with a win Sunday combined with a White Sox loss. However, if Chicago is still a half-game back after Sunday they'll play a makeup game with the Tigers on Monday. Should the Twins and White Sox be tied in the standings after that Monday contest they'll play a one-game playoff on Tuesday.

As well, the Yankees will have Mike Mussina (19-9, 3.47 ERA) trying for his 20^th win of the season when they play at Fenway Park in Boston on Sunday afternoon, so they'll be pulling out all the stops to try and get him to that mark for the first time in his career. New York and Boston will actually play twice on Sunday thanks to Saturday's rainout.

The WNBA playoffs will continue on Sunday afternoon, with New York at Detroit in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and Los Angeles at San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. New York holds a 1-0 lead in their three-game set, while San Antonio pulled out a victory on Saturday afternoon to tie up that series at 1-1.

Finally, the CFL concludes its week on Sunday with Saskatchewan at Montreal (-6.5), while the PGA Tour wraps up its playoffs on the final day of THE TOUR Championship.

News from the Wire

Notable players listed as OUT for Sunday's NFL games heading into the weekend: Arizona DE Bert Berry (groin), Browns S Sean Jones (knee), Dallas S Roy Williams (forearm), Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle (right shoulder), Saints WR Marques Colston (thumb) and TE Jeremy Shockey (hernia), Jets K Mike Nugent (right thigh), Raiders RB Justin Fargas (groin), Rams WR Drew Bennett (foot), Buccaneers WR Joey Galloway (foot), Titans QB Vince Young (knee/hamstring), and Redskins DE Jason Taylor (calf).

A Peek at the Future

A slow Monday in sports will be highlighted by the matchup of the Ravens and Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Steelers opened as 7-point home favorites in that contest, but that line has since fallen to just 5 points (with the total pegged at 34 points) . . .  as well, there will be a Game 3 in the WNBA's Eastern Conference Finals in Detroit on Monday night if the Shock manage to knock off the Liberty in their Sunday afternoon matchup.

Entertainment Betting

What will Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live do next in mocking Sarah Palin? We expect BetUs Sportsbook will have more and more SNL proposition bets.

The lipstick of Rachel McAdams and death of Paul Newman are grabbing the headlines, but Dancing With the Stars dominates the Hollywood and entertainment betting odds.

Brooke Burke at +200 is the favorite to win Dancing With the Stars, but she's followed closely by Toni Braxton, Cody Linley, Susan Lucci, Misty May-Treanor all at +400.

Not far behind at +500 is Warren Sapp and Lance Bass. The aforesaid Hollywood and entertainment betting odds have prop bets as well on Tom DeLay, Dan Rather, George Clooney, Wheel of Fortune, Heath Ledger and other actors in Batman-The Dark Knight.

NFL

DALLAS -11 Washington

You can't predict turnovers? Baloney. Washington has been very fortunate holding on to the ball, but playing in Dallas where they lost 11-of-12 straight up, the dam is about to break. The Redskins are the only team in the league without an offensive turnover in 2008. Looking at their talent, we find that hard to believe. We can't see Washington's maintaining their turnover ratio.

The Redskins have lost their only road game by 17-6. Despite playing just one home game, the Cowboys are 3-0, two by double digits.

Dallas is averaging 5.0 yards per rush 9.3 yards per pass and 7.2 yards per play against teams normally allowing 5.9. Washington's only chance is to keep up their turnover ratio, which we don't see happening.
