Wednesday Gambler's Report

There's no football of note on Wednesday, so sports fans will instead have to settle for the dwindling days of the baseball regular season. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

Matt Millen has finally been fired as Lions GM, while Plaxico Burress has been suspended by the NY Giants for insubordination. Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com said for the high risk, high return bettors, investing on Detroit +3500 to win the NFC North wouldn't be that crazy considering how weak the division is and that the Millen firing will wake up his former team.  

The biggest surprise of the NFL season so far? It just might be the play of the Bills, who sit alone atop the AFC East with a 3-0 record; Buffalo has moved from 60/1 to 18/1 odds on the Vegas Super Bowl futures list. The new title favorites are the Cowboys, who are at 3/1, with the Colts at 6/1, and the Chargers at 8/1. The Patriots opened as the 5/2 Super Bowl favorites, but their early-season issues have dropped them to 15/1.

RIP former NY Giants safety Dick Lynch. Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says "Lynch has a heck of a player and announcer."
