CBB

 

ELON +3.5 Pennsylvania

 

Penn has some major injuries. Sophomore Darren Smith, one of just two returning starters for this year's team, was lost for the season after he fractured his patella (right knee) in the first half of the season opener against Drexel.

 

Smith's injury is actually the second this season to knock the Quakers for a loop; prior to the season, junior Tommy McMahon had surgery which is forcing him to miss the 2007-08 season. He has been plagued by back problems during his first two seasons at Penn, but was expected to be a major contributor.

 

Meanwhile, Elon has snuck up on teams because they have a breakout player that the oddsmakers have not caught up to.

 

Ola Atoyebi's enters tonight's matchup at Pennsylvania, Elon's second leg of a five-game stint away from home, having supplied an average of 19.3 points in his last four outings.

"We need Ola game-in and game-out," senior guard Montell Watson said, "and he's shown himself this year. He's stepped up a lot."

Atoyebi's 15.4 points per game, 8.0 rebounds per game and 60.8 percent shooting this season are production numbers that do more than rank him among the early Southern Conference statistical leaders.

They also reveal a substantial leap forward in status.

Two seasons ago, Atoyebi appeared in two games and attempted a grand total of one shot from the field. He made it, for the record.

CBB

LOUISIANA TECH +19 Southern Miss

Betting Bowlbreakdowns 2007, Part 3

This is Part-3 where the Center of the Handicapping Universe Joe Duffy's GodsTips.com breaks down the statistical comparisons of the bowl games. This report entails games of Dec. 28-Dec. 29.

Michigan State-Boston College

To say the least, these two teams are closely matched statistically on both sides of the ball. BC does get 3.3 more first downs per game but they are dead even in yards per play. Michigan State gets 93.5 more rushing yards per game but Boston College accrues 103.8 more passing yards. It's a net edge of 10.3 for the Eagles.

However, the Spartans do get .9 more rushing yards per attempt and .8 more passing yards per reception.

Boston College allows19.9 fewer total yards per game on .7 less yards per play and 66 fewer rushing yards per game. However, MSU allows 46.1 fewer passing yards per game. In the key areas of yards per play, BC has the upper hand in rushing yards per attempt allowed of 1.6, passing yards per attempt of .6 and passing yards per reception of .9. Even the turnover ratio is close with Mich State having a net edge of two.

TCU-Houston

It's Houston as the mathematically superior team on the offensive side of the ball, but TCU on defense. Houston gets 3.7 more first downs per game, 124.8 more yards, 1.4 more yards per play. This is on 1.3 more rushing yards per attempt, 1.8 more passing yards per attempt and 1.2 more passing yards per reception. The Cougars also complete 9.5 more percent of the passes.

The only exception to Houston winning every offensive and TCU every defensive matchup is Houston allowing 2.6 less percent pass completions on defense. Other than that, the Horned Frogs are allowing 46.6 fewer total yards per game, on 1.1 less yards per play. The biggest edge is in yards per catch allowed at 3.6.  

Maryland-Oregon State

Oregon State has slight total yards advantages on both sides of the ball, but not so much in all the yards per rush/pass/play categories. OSU has a 20.3 yards per game upper hand on offense. However the Terps get a slight .2 yards per play edge. Maryland gets 1.8 more passing yards per attempt and 1.3 more passing yards per reception. The Terrapins also complete 8.8 more percent of the passes.

Oregon State allows 42.9 less yards per game and .8 less yards per play. Maryland though does allow 18.8 fewer passing yards. The Beavers allow 1.8 fewer rushing yards per attempt, but Maryland allows .2 less passing yards per attempt and 1.9 less passing yards per reception. Oregon State allows 7.4 less percent of their opponents passes to be completed. Maryland has a turnover ratio advantage of six.

Central Florida-Mississippi State

Central Florida has accrued 121.3 more total yards per game on 1.4 more yards per play. UCF gets 1.6 more rushing yards per attempt and 1.6 more passing yards per attempt as well as 1.3 more passing yards per reception. The Golden Eagles complete 7.2 more percent of their passes.

Mississippi State has the advantage in more defensive categories though. They allow 66.1 less passing yards, though Central Florida allows 27.9 less rushing yards. The biggest edge is in turnover ratio where UCF is 10 better.

Penn State-Texas A&M

The teams could not be closer offensively with A&M getting a measly 3.8 more yards per game but they are dead even in yards per play and close in ever other category.

Penn State sweeps the defense, allowing 109.4 less yards per game on 1.3 less yards per play. The Nittany Lions allow 1.5 less rushing yards per attempt and 1.3 passing yards per attempt.

The Aggies have a turnover ratio of seven better.

NFL

Chicago-Minnesota UNDER 43

It's a fairly high total, yet it's one of the ugliest quarterback battles of the year. There is no question that Chicago's defense will be quite fired up after Minnesota's run game humiliated them in their previous meeting.

However, it makes no sense for Minnesota head coach Brad Childress to outsmart himself and put the ball in the air. Minnesota's offensive strength is running, their quarterback is a glaring, though slowly stabilizing weakness, but they will be going against the most motivated unit on the field.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is the most talented run defense in the league. So the Bears should test their pass defense, right? Well Kyle Orton is making his first start since 1995. Do you think somebody who was the backup to Brian Griese and Rex Grossman is going to light up the scoreboard?

In fact, in doing anything to avoid a repeat in which they gave up 311 yards rushing in the previous meeting, we look for the Bears to play keep-away.

Key NFL Injury Information

Sports bettors and fantasy football players, note that weather will play a humungous factor as winds, rain and snow, especially in the northeast, is a huge factor. Check out our report.

OffshoreInsiders.com continues to convert sports bettors burned by scamdicappers. Yet again a new client tells us how Blazer Sports with Gordon Michaels turned him against sports handicapper. Years later he gave BetOnSports360.com a shot and now he's winning back what the Johnny DeMarcos of the world ripped off him.

Cardinals-Saints

As is always the case, the Cardinals fragile star receivers dominate the injury report. Both Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are game time decisions. The Saints Reggie Bush is out and Aaron Stecker gets the start at running back.

Jaguars-Steelers

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is probable with a shoulder injury.

Falcons-Buccaneers

Atlanta wide receiver Roddy White will start. Keep in mind, handicapping experts will have to evaluate how Atlanta will react to the sudden quitting of head coach Bobby Petrino.

Tampa running back Michael Pittman is likely out.

Seahawks-Panthers

The Panthers start Matt Moore at quarterback.

Ravens-Dolphins

This is one of the games that will be affected by the weather, not just the northeast games.  Check out our weather report. Miami running back Jesse Chatman is game time decision.

Baltimore cornerback Samari Rolle is very likely out. Running back Willis McGahee is going to play. Linebacker Ray Lewis popped up on the injury report late in the week and is listed as questionable.

Packers-Rams

Oft-injured Rams quarterback Marc Bulger gets the start.

Falcons-Buccaneers

Bow Bbreakdowns 2007, Part 2

This is Part-2 where the Center of the Handicapping Universe Joe Duffy’s GodsTips.com breaks down the statistical comparisons of the bowl games. This report entails games of Dec. 23-Dec. 27.

East Carolina-Boise State

Boise is much better on both sides of the ball. They get 4.9 more first downs per game on 98.6 total yards per game and .7 more yards per play. East Carolina holds their own in ball control though as the teams are dead even in rushing yards per attempt. Boise gets 1.5 more passing yards per attempt but their passing yards per reception is actually less than many may think, getting a minimal .5 more than the Pirates.

The Broncos actually have slightly better margins of advantage on the defensive side of the ball. The Boise boys allow 5.7 fewer first downs per game, 107.7 fewer yards on .8 less yards per play allowed. The superiority is pretty consistent though as they allow .4 less rushing yards per attempt and 1.1 less passing yards per attempt. However, ECU allows .2 fewer passing yards per reception. Boise has a commanding advantage in pass completion percentage allowing 10.2 less. Before you conclude the stats say Boise should be an even bigger chalk, note ECU protects the ball much better with a turnover ratio 10 better than BSU.

Central Michigan-Purdue

Offensively, this is one of the more evenly matched statistical battles. Purdue gets just .4 more first downs per game but CMU gets 27.4 more yards per game on .4 more yards per play. The Boilermakers get 22.2 more yards per game in the air. The biggest edge is on rushing yards per attempt where the Chippewas get .9 more. While Central accumulates .2 more passing yards per attempt, it’s Purdue earning .3 more passing yards per reception.

Purdue’s defensive superiority is across the board, but not by dominating margins. They allow 3.4 fewer first downs per game on 64.7 fewer total yards. They also allow .8 less yards per play. The biggest upper hand is with pass defense, allowing 1.7 less passing yards per attempt and 1.3 less passing yards per reception and a passing percentage against of 7.9 better than CMU allows. In turnovers and rushing yards per attempt the teams are nearly even.

OffshoreInsiders is now the Drudge Report for sports gamblers. We give you the top previews from around the Internet of interest to the do-it-yourself handicapper! This is in addition to the latest headlines in the gaming and betting industry including the fight for our right to gamble online.   

Texas-Arizona State

Texas is slightly better overall offensively, but Arizona State is better in the air. The Longhorns amass 52 more yards per game on .8 more yards per play. Texas has the smash mouth upper hand by a significant 1.5 more yards per rush. However it’s ASU that accrues .4 more passing yards per attempt and .7 more passing yards per reception.

Contrary to the stereotype of the Pac-10, the Sun Devils allow 3.3 fewer first downs per game, 35.9 fewer yards and .2 less yards per play. Texas though allows 7.8 fewer yards per rush. The Longhorns get the edge in rushing yards per attempt allowed by .6, but ASU allows 1.0 passing yards per attempt but Texas .4 less passing yards per reception allowed.

ASU has significant superiority on passing percentage allowed by 10.1 and turnover ratio by 10.

5-1 NFL Tear For NFL Specialists; 60-33 CBB WG This Season

Saturday, December 15, 2007

5-1 NFL LAST 2 WEEKS INCLUDING HOUSTON THURS, DEN-CINC SIDE + 7 CBB WISE GUY + 3 NBA/CBB MAJORS

No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy's GodsTips does the NFL. We are 5-1 last week plus the Thursday night game. Houston is already in, now we have the Saturday night football side and at least seven CBB Wise Guy plays among 10 basketball winners. College hoop Wise guy plays are a scary good 60-33 for the year.

Led by moneyline Nets +130, we win again last night and are 9-4 the last 13 NBA. You get all of today's Joe Duffy's GodsTips  $17 at OffshoreInsiders.com.    

CBB

MONTANA STATE +6 Wyoming

Montana State will keep it close if not pull of the upset in part because they match up well inside. Montana State has been out-rebounded by only one team this season and that was in its last outing - an 82-76 loss at Nevada. The Bobcats were on the short end of a 32-30 rebounding tally.

Montana State has out-rebounded its foes by an average of 5.9 per game.

Meanwhile, UW has been short by about one rebound per contest.

 

Montana State's Eric Platt has been playing under his potential, but returning to his home state should light a fire under him.

 

Broncos-Texans Preview

The Denver Broncos travel to Houston to take on the Texans. Sportsbooks have varying odds depending on the juice, but the consensus sees Denver as a one-point favorite with a total of 47.5.

Much of the information in this report is compiled from the top previews from around the Internet of interest to the do-it-yourself handicapper!

In location comparison (home team's home stats, road team's road stats), the Texans do have the edge. They get 25.5 points per game compared to 20.5 for Denver, but are those stats genuine? Sports betting expert Joe Duffy points out that in the home/road breakdown the points per game numbers notwithstanding, Denver gets 362.7 total yards per game compared to just 316.8 for Houston.

It's similar on defense. Denver allows 29.7 points per game on the road, compared to Houston 19.0 at home. Yet Denver gives up 321.3 total yards per game compared to 320.0 for Houston.

In overall stats for the year, incredibly each team gives up 4.5 yards per rush while Denver gives up a nominal .2 more yards per pass. The Broncos on offense average 4.6 yards per rush compared to Houston at only 3.6.

The Texans are without starting quarterback Matt Schaub, but his replacement Sage Rosenfels is 2-0 straight up at a starter. Starting running back Ron Dayne is doubtful for Houston.

The top sports service play is from GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com. Fresh off a 4-1 week in the NFL, now they have tonight's side. No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy's GodsTips does the NFL. Click now to purchase

Here are spread betting trends (all records against the spread): Denver is 1-10 off us win, yet 6-1 off a win of 14 or more. The Texans are 9-20 off a straight up victory.

As far as over/unders, Denver has exceeded the total in 17-of-21.

Congrats to another satisfied new client. He jumps to us from the Spike Measer Linebusters radio show and has hopped on the moneywagon of OffshoreInsiders.com    

 

Bill Clinton Opines On His Team Hiring a Proven Liar

I cannot believe that my beloved Arkansas Razorbacks would hire a bold faced liar to be their football coach. He betrayed those closest to him. Of course, he had a long history of deceit, so I guess those who trusted in him this time got what they deserved.

I watched as that hypocrite said one thing at a press conference knowing he was a complete fraud. How can somebody state something so emphatically at a press conference knowing he was full of balderdash?

Yet my Arkansas Razorbacks hired him. I don't think there is any way the people of Arkansas will embrace such a proven perjurer.

Sincerely,

William Jefferson Clinton

PS: Bobby, just promise your recruits free healthcare. It works every time.

CBB

OREGON -32 Sacramento State

The Hornets have just eight healthy scholarship players, a freshman point guard with no true backup and a 2-6 record that suggests confidence might be tough to find.

It's a game in which Oregon almost can't help but blow out Sac State. Freshman Vinnie McGhee Jr. is the only point guard still healthy after injuries to senior Roderick Adams (ankle) and sophomores Alonzo Young (knee tendinitis) and Yannick Kasongo (torn anterior cruciate knee ligament).

Young and Kasongo are expected to miss the rest of the season. Adams, could, too, depending on the results of an MRI. Senior center Curtis Harrison (broken hand) also is out for the season.

With so many injuries, the Hornets have decided not to redshirt 6-foot-7 sophomore forward-center Wandji Aboubakar, who is recovering from a knee injury and is not yet at full strength.

This is a Sacramento State team that lost at home to Southern Utah, just one of their two wins in nine games.

Oregon is averaging 96.7 points per game at home. Sacramento is averaging 61.5 points per game on the road.

 

Bowlbreakdowns 2007, Part 1

This is Part-1 where the Center of the Handicapping Universe Joe Duffy’s GodsTips.com breaks down the statistical comparisons of the bowl games. This report entails games of Dec. 20-22.

Navy-Utah

The big underdogs Midshipmen have the numbers on the offensive side of the ball. They get 4.8 more first downs per game, 81.8 total yards and 1.1 more yards per play. However while Navy gets 187.8 more rushing yards per game, Utah passes for 106.1 more.

Navy gets 1.7 more rushing yards per attempt and 2.8 more passing yards per attempt. Surprising to many, the Naval Academy also gets 6.1 more passing yards per reception.

The Utes come back and have the edge in most defensive stats. They allow 6.2 fewer first downs per game, 118.4 fewer yards on 1.6 less yards per play. They allow 3.1 less passing yards per attempt and they have a monster advantage in passing percentage allowing 18.7 less. The Utes have the upper hand in turnover ratio by 11.

Florida Atlantic-Memphis

Memphis has slight edges on the offensive side of the ball, but by only 34.3 yards per game and .2 yards per play. However, showing how close they are mathematically on offense, FAU gets .5 more passing yards per reception.

Likewise Florida Atlantic gets the nod defensively, but not by much. They allow 22.4 less total yards per game and .6 less yards per play. The biggest edge by either team is on turnover ratio where Florida Atlantic has a superiority of 13.

Southern Miss-Cincinnati

The Bearcats have the numbers on offense getting 64.2 more yards on .7 more yards per play. However, the Eagles get 18.4 more rushing yards per game. Cincy gets 1.9 more passing yards per reception.

Defensively it’s very close. They are 1.4 yards per game allowed apart with Southern Mississippi getting the nominal win. But the Bearcats actually give up .3 fewer yards per play. While Cincinnati is better against the run by 42.8 yards per game and a full yard per carry, Southern Miss is superior by 44.2 passing yards per game, though it’s Cincy allowing .1 less passing yards per attempt and .6 less per catch. As is the case with many statistically evenly matched squads, where the big advantage lies is in the turnover margin category. Give that to Cincinnati by a significant margin of 21.

Nevada Reno-New Mexico

Nevada has a substantial lead in every significant offensive category except completion percentage in which New Mexico gets the edge by 4.8. Nevada gets 130.8 more total yards per game, 1.6 more yards per play. The edge is across the board 1.5 rushing yards per attempt, 2.2 passing yards per attempt and a very efficient 5.2 more passing yards per reception. Nevada also gets 6.2 more first downs per game.

New Mexico has the better statistical defense, but by slightly smaller margins. They allow 72.3 fewer total yards on 1.0 less yards per play. Talk about consistent, New Mexico allows 1.0 less rushing yards per attempt and 1.0 less passing yards per attempt.

UCLA-BYU

The Cougars are a cut above on each side of the ball, especially on offense. BYU gets 125 more total yards per game, led by 8.0 more first downs and 1.1 more yards per play. They also get 1.6 more passing yards per attempt and complete a commanding 11.3 more percent of their pass attempts.

The teams are dead even defensively on the ever important yards per play category, though BYU allows 39.5 less total yards per game. All in all, the teams are extremely close in the major handicapping defensive comparisons.
