It’s an indisputable fact that the top football handicappers are at OffshoreInsiders.com, but now the secrets as to why they become the nation’s No. 1 sports handicapping website are out.

From ScoresOddsPicks.com is a preview of Pittsburgh and Utah. The big play on this game is from Big Red. It’s the strongest game on college football schedule tonight for sure.

The No. 15 Pittsburgh Panthers are hoping for a big season—possibly even a BCS Bowl appearance if all goes according to plan. The schedule certainly doesn’t have any breaks early on, though, as the Panthers are underdogs on college football odds to open the season; Utah is favored by 2.5 points in this match up.

No. 15 Pittsburgh at Utah (-2.5) – Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET (Versus)

Despite winning 10 games last year, it was a large disappointment for Pittsburgh; the team settled for a victory over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Everything fell apart in the season finale, when Pitt blew a 21-point lead to Cincinnati. Now, though, the Panthers are optimistic they have what it takes to get it done.

Dion Lewis is the centerpiece of the offense. He exploded for 1799 yards and 17 touchdowns as a freshman, and he’ll be the bell cow once again. The big-play threat might have to do a lot of the work by himself, though, as the line is inexperienced. The quarterback situation also isn’t particularly sound, with both Tino Sunseri and Pat Bostick vying for time. Lewis and receiver Jonathan Baldwin are being counted on to have massive seasons.

Pittsburgh’s defense features two dynamite ends in Greg Romeus and Jabaal Sheard. Their play will be crucial against Utah’s spread offense. The line is breaking in two new defensive tackles but there’s enough depth here to get the job done.

Quarterback Jordan Wynn didn’t start a ton of games for Utah last season but, when he did, he was fantastic, averaging about 250 yards per game. Now a sophomore, he’s poised to lead Utah’s spread offense to the next level. The Utes have a fine power running game to compliment the pass, led by Eddie Wide (1069 yards last year). Matt Asiata, who was penciled in as the starter ahead of Wide last season, is also back in the mix.

Utah has two solid defensive tackles in Sealver Siliga and Dave Kruger, which should help at least slow Dion Lewis. The ends are solid too, making for a formidable front. The defensive backs are the real weak spot, though Pitt probably won’t throw the ball a ton on Thursday.

Both teams are gearing up for what they hope are breakthrough seasons. Lewis is a superstar in the making and, while Utah has a great line to slow him down, the running back will still draw plenty of attention. That will allow Baldwin to run free, much like he did last year en route to 1111 yards and eight scores.

Top expert pick on this game: The biggest outlaw book in the southeast is “Catfish Parker”. He also is in constant contact with his colleagues from around the nation. Nobody has a better pulse on where “outlaw money” is going. At 4:03 ET he says there is big, big time local strong “local” money (not tracked by offshore or Vegas books) on the Pittsburgh-Utah national TV side.

Quarterback rotations and more for NFL preseason football final week are up. Of course plenty of college football betting service picks and NFL preseason top Thursday night bests.

The NFL’s final week of the preseason is essentially worthless at this point for starters, as most coaches choose to play the guys still fighting for those final roster spots – final cuts come this weekend. Thus starters might play a series at most and some lines are a bit odd – Miami a 1-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL odds at Dallas, for example.

But some coaches choose not to even tempt fate at all and sit their starters completely, so that means you will have to wait to see a few of the NFL’s star quarterbacks until Week 1. For sure out tonight is Minnesota’s Brett Favre, as Brad Childress plans to rest all of his starters. That means plenty of backup Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels and rookie Joe Webb.

The Indianapolis Colts are traditionally the worst preseason team in football, having lost 22 of their past 26 exhibition games. And Indy almost never plays its starters in the preseason finale. For example, QB Peyton Manning hasn’t played in a preseason finale since 2004, when he directed one series.

“If you look at our history,” coach Jim Caldwell said to reporters, “don’t expect anything to deviate much from the norm.”

Because of injuries, Indy’s projected starting offense has yet to be play one snap together in three preseason games. That has to give hope to Houston in Week 1.

The Bears offense hasn’t looked very good this preseason but quarterback Jay Cutler won’t play in the final tonight at Cleveland. The first-team Chicago offense has just two TDs in 16 drives this preseason. Cutler is 19 of 37 (51.4 percent) for 275 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. His passer rating was 62.4 and he was sacked 10 times.

The Dallas Cowboys also plan to sit pretty much all their starters, and Tony Romo won’t get on the field. Neither will rookie WR Dez Bryant even though he has been cleared to play from an ankle sprain that caused him to miss all of camp and every preseason game so far. Dallas has an even better reason for sitting its main guys because this is actually its fifth preseason game (as it will be the Bengals’). In four preseason games, Romo completed 26-of-46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He had a passer rating of 64.3.

It’s South Carolina vs. Southern Miss to start Bodog betting previews.  Don’t worry about fantasy football as the fantasy football rankings and NFL draft guide is done.

The Gamecocks as 14-point favorites. And with this game being shown on ESPN, there will be live betting available on NCAA Football Odds

It’s hard to bet against Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier tonight. South Carolina is undefeated in season openers under Spurrier, and the Ol’ Ball Coach is 19-1 in openers in his career. The Gamecocks also have won six straight non-conference home games dating back to the 2008 season opener.

South Carolina could be a bit short-handed tonight, however. For sure suspended senior tight end Weslye Saunders will not play. Saunders was interviewed earlier this summer by NCAA investigators regarding a trip he took to Miami and whether it was funded by agents. He’s also one of at least nine South Carolina players who was living at a hotel, which has come under NCAA scrutiny. Spurrier said Saunders was suspended for violating team rules, adding that his suspension was not tied to the NCAA investigation. But the Gamecocks may sit those eight other players who are still being looked at by the NCAA, including starting safety Akeem Auguste, starting offensive tackle Jarriel King, starting offensive guard Terrence Campbell and starting defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboy.

Spurrier is back to his normal ways with quarterbacks as well. He has been riding presumed starter Stephen Garcia all summer, and while Garcia will start tonight true freshman Connor Shaw also will play. Spurrier said Shaw has outperformed Garcia, the Gamecocks’ starter last season, in team scrimmages and that both would play in the first quarter and then he’d go from there. Sophomore running back Kenny Miles will start over true freshman Marcus Lattimore, arguably the nation’s top recruit in the Class of 2010.

Meanwhile, Southern Miss is 2-0 in openers under coach Larry Fedora. The Golden Eagles have opened against an SEC team 15 times and have won just three of those – all 15 have come on the road. Southern Miss has lost eight in a row overall against SEC clubs. USM’s star is WR DeAndre Brown, who helped lead the team to the Conference USA title game last year by finishing with 785 yards receiving and nine touchdowns to lead the team. Those numbers are even more impressive considering he was slowed by recovering from a broken leg.

Be a player and bet at Bodog on whether Spurrier can win yet another season opener.

Now they peek at Marshall-Ohio State.

The biggest outlaw book in the southeast is “Catfish Parker”. He also is in constant contact with his colleagues from around the nation. Nobody has a better pulse on where “outlaw money” is going. At 4:03 ET he says there is big, big time local strong “local” money (not tracked by offshore or Vegas books) on the Pittsburgh-Utah national TV side.

The LateInfo Line is now another part of OffshoreInsiders.  Formally part of the FreeScoreboard scorephone days, since 2001 LateInfo is 70-80 percent in each and every sport, broken down college and pro separately. LateInfo has the Panthers-Utes betting bombshell now.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are big 28-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA odds for tonight’s season opener against Marshall, but a few factors might point to the Thundering Herd being able to cover the spread. This game will be shown on the Big Ten Network.

First off, OSU has struggled in season openers against fellow Division I teams in recent years. For example, in last year’s opener, the Buckeyes struggled with Navy’s option in a win that went down to the final minutes. In 2008, OSU beat MAC team Ohio by only a score of 26-14. And in 2007 the Buckeyes won an ugly 20-2 affair against Akron. Still, OSU is 9-0 in season openers under Coach Jim Tressel. OSU has not lost a home opener in 32 years.

Secondly, Ohio State plans to be a bit vanilla tonight because the Buckeyes have a huge date with Miami (Fla.) next weekend. Still, the Buckeyes are the preseason favorites to win the Big Ten, are ranked No. 2 in the major polls and feature one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Terrell Pryor, who remains the Bodog betting favorite to win the 2010 Heisman.

The second-ranked are the second-highest ranked team Marshall has ever played at the FBS level. Marshall has faced 14 Top 25 opponents since moving to the FBS level in 1997 and has an overall record of 2-12 in those games. Marshall is 0-13 against BCS opponents since 2005. Tonight’s game marks the debut of new coach Doc Holliday. Returning starting QB Brian Anderson struggled with inconsistency last season. He threw for 2,646 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, but he also threw 13 interceptions. And he’ll face a Buckeye defense that was one of the best in the nation in 2009.

Ohio State and Marshall have met just once before on Sept. 11, 2004, with the Buckeyes prevailing, 24-21, on a last-second field goal. OSU has lost just once in its history to current Conference USA teams.

It’s time to win college football and moments ago a betting odds bombshell broke on the Pittsburgh vs. Utah best bet.

Thursday, September 2

Minnesota vs. Middle Tennessee State

MTSU’s appropriately named QB Dwight Dasher is suspended, which means sophomore Logan Kilgore will get his first snap as starter. Dasher was the Sun Belt preseason Offensive Player of the Year.

Pittsburgh vs. Utah

The Panthers have a first-time starter at QB, two new starting CBs, and a new MLB. QB Tino Sunseria is a redshirt sophomore with 17 passes, none as a starter.

The biggest outlaw book in the southeast is “Catfish Parker”. He also is in constant contact with his colleagues from around the nation. Nobody has a better pulse on where “outlaw money” is going.

Saturday, September 4

Syracuse vs. Akron

It’s a game of uncertainty against the NCAA Football Odds. Akron has a completely new coaching staff, while the Orange will have a lot of young players playing key roles. RB Averin Collier is academically ineligible for ‘Cuse. A lot was expected of the sophomore who averaged 6.8 yards per carry and scored two touchdowns last year.

Utah State vs. Oklahoma

One of the top DT in the country, the Sooners’ Adrian Taylor is a game-time decision.

Miami Ohio vs. Florida

Sports handicappers are concerned that the Gators are without two offensive tackles, Xavier Nixon and Matt Matchan. The shuffling is done as John Brantley makes his first start in the post-Tim Tebow era.

Sunday, September 5

SMU vs. Texas Tech

It’s the first game as head coach for Tommy Tuberville at Texas Tech. He is expected to continue the high-powered offense through hiring Neal Brown from Troy as offensive coordinator. Troy averaged 487.5 yards per game last year, third in the nation.

The Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs will do battle in one of the top NFL match-ups, as far as bettors are concerned, this week.

Oddsmakers have posted an official and NFL Las Vegas point spread at Kansas City -5.5 or as high as six.Sportsbooks online also have the moneyline posted at KC -240.

NFL power lines say that Kansas City should be -2 which gives a big edge to the Packers. Green Bay is 2-1 straight up, while the Chiefs have lost all three preseason games. In fact, they have lost seven straight in NFLX, their last winner coming in 2008.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

There are four games on the American League schedule for Thursday, with Oakland at the Yankees, Boston at Baltimore, Cleveland at Seattle, and Detroit at Minnesota. Justin Verlander (14-8, 3.58 ERA) is expected to get the ball for the Tigers in that last matchup, while Scott Baker (12-9, 4.55 ERA) counters for the Twins. Righthander Verlander got stuck with a no-decision against the Blue Jays in his last trip to the mound despite giving up just two runs on five hits over his eight innings of work. Righthander Baker is coming off a win over Seattle in which he gave up two runs in his 6 2-3 innings.

As well, the National League has just two games on tap for Thursday, with Philadelphia at Colorado and the Mets at Atlanta. Johan Santana (10-9, 3.02 ERA) is slated to take on Tim Hudson (15-5, 2.24 ERA) in that Mets/Braves matchup. Lefthander Santana has lost three straight starts, and he also fell to the Braves back on August 2 (four runs over seven innings of work). Righthander Hudson dazzled the Marlins last time out, holding them to just one run over seven innings while fanning 13 batters. The Braves are 8-2 in Hudson’s last 10 outings, and he was the winning pitcher on August 2 against the Mets.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, the WNBA’s Western Conference Finals tip off on Thursday night with Phoenix at Seattle. The Mercury and Storm both swept their first-round playoff series last week; Phoenix knocked off San Antonio 92-73 in Game 2 of their set, while Seattle is coming off an 81-66 Game 2 win over Los Angeles. The oddsmakers have the Storm pegged as the 6-point home favorites for Thursday’s matchup, with the total for the contest at 178.5.
