UFC Results, NFL Week 11 Odds Top Betting News

The sportsbooks are evaluating the UFC 106 results as the public won on Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin. The football picks have been tremendous as GodsTips, the top betting service ever goes 9-3 in football yesterday.

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Chargers play their rivals in Denver, the Colts look for a win in Baltimore, and the Sprint Cup Series wraps up its season.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The Colts (9-0 SU, 5-4 ATS) will try to get to 10-0 on the season on Sunday when they face the Ravens (5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS) in early-afternoon action. Indianapolis came back to defeat the rival Patriots 35-34 last Sunday night, with Peyton Manning connecting with Reggie Wayne on a late touchdown strike to seal the win. The Ravens had no trouble with the Browns last week, blanking them 16-0. Indy is a 1.5-point road favorite Sunday, with the total at 44.5 points.

Other early NFL matchups on Sunday: Pittsburgh (-10) at Kansas City, San Francisco at Green Bay (-6.5), Buffalo at Jacksonville (-8.5), Atlanta at the Giants (-7), Cleveland at Detroit (-3.5), Washington at Dallas (-11), Seattle at Minnesota (-10.5), and New Orleans (-11) at Tampa Bay. The Saints are tied with the Colts at 9-0 on the season (6-3 ATS), but they got a scare in a 28-23 win over the Rams last week. Reggie Bush rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown in that win.

This week’s Sunday nighter is Philadelphia (-3) at Chicago, and before that the schedule offers up Arizona (-9) at St. Louis, the Jets at New England (-10.5), Cincinnati (-9.5) at Oakland, and San Diego at Denver (no line). The Chargers (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) and Broncos (6-3 SU, 6-3 ATS) are tied for top spot in the AFC West division, but San Diego has won four straight while Denver has lost three straight. Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) is QUESTIONABLE for the game.

There are also two Canadian Football League games on tap for Sunday, as the league determines its Grey Cup participants. It’ll be British Columbia at Montreal in the East Final at 1pm ET, with the Alouettes pegged as big 10.5-point home favorites (and the total at 52.5 points). Saskatchewan then hosts Calgary in the West Final at 4:30pm, with the Riders favored by 2.5 (and the total at 54 points).

Saturday, GodsTips did what we’ve been doing for years. We go 9-3 with football picks and actually it was the losers that could have gone either way.
