| Kasas vs. Texas ESPN Predictions |
| Feb 8th, 2010 He’s not an overnight sensation like the Audi Super Bowl
commercial, the Betty White commercial (why does nobody mention Abe Vigoda?), or the Dockers free pants giveaway.
If your bets have been uglier
than Brooke Hundley, join the sports
handicapper who is as ahead of the curve as the 747 8 first flight.
OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free sports
pick on the Kansas Jayhawks.
They are at Texas.
Here is his rationale: Playing on the road in the Big 12
is a beast and the Texas Longhorns are in a position where they have got to win
this game to save face but I just do not see it happening.
Right now Rick Barnes’ team is an absolute disaster. Sure
they are still a loaded team that is extremely athletic and deep but after the
great undefeated and top ranked first few months the you
know what has ready hit the fan.
They
seem to need the Canon T2I to improve their recent no-points and shoot.
UT has now dropped four of their last six and they just do
not seem like a team that is capable of doing a 180 here and rebounding with
conviction. The losses have been pretty darn ugly and walking off of the court
as a victor here against a locked and loaded Kansas team is a bit much. I’m not
at all saying this is not possible but more times than not Bill Self’s team
will win this game and to get them at around a pick is fine with me.
The Jayhawks are more experienced with Sherron
Collins, Cole Aldrich and others and will be ready for the crowd in Austin that
may be rocking but not as much as a few weeks back when the Hook ‘ems were undefeated and ranked number one in the
nation.
Xavier Henry is a sensational freshman that is a lot more experienced
than his age and in the end I just cannot see anything other than a Kansas
solid victory.
Sure Pittman, Bradley, James are high quality players that will try and
regroup in a victory today but I’m hard pressed to see that actually
happening.
Rock, Chalk baby.
The pick: Kansas -2 at SportsBook

| Dwight Freeney Will Wear Saints Colors Super Bowl 2010 Kickoff Time |
| Feb 7th, 2010 Elite sports
handicapper Joe Duffy of
GodsTips says there is not doubt that Dwight Freeney will play. “Don’t be
surprised if he has his ‘Andre Ware’ performance and wins the MVP.” Ware, of
the Dallas Cowboys, was not expected to play against the 13-0 New Orleans
Saints but wound up having a career game.
Officially, Colts star
defensive end Dwight Freeney, the team’s
leading sacker, is listed as questionable for the Super Bowl – but you can bet he will
play.
Freeney hasn’t practiced
since tearing ligament in his ankle in the AFC title game win over the Jets. If
this were the regular season, he’d miss at least a few weeks but almost every
report Sunday afternoon says he will go against the Saints. Freeney will test
the ankle a final time around 5 p.m. ET for pregame warm-ups when his status
will be made official. However, while it’s a near certainty that he will play,
Freeney very well could be limited to only pass-rush situations (i.e. third
downs, second-and-long).
If Freeney is slowed, the
Colts might blitz more. And that could be to their benefit. According to an
ESPN report, Saints quarterback Drew Brees in
the two playoff games so far has thrown five touchdown passes, no picks,
averaged 8.2 yards per pass attempt and had a QB raing of 127.3 when the
opposing team sends four or fewer pass rushers. Against five or more rushers,
Brees has thrown one touchdown and no interceptions, averaged 4.3 yards an
attempt and posted a rating of 90.2.
While Freeney’s ankle
certainly has been the most-talked about body part of the week, there are a few
other injured players – but all should play. Colts cornerback Jerraud Powers, who missed the AFC Championship Game with a
fractured left foot, participated in a light workout for the second straight
day on Saturday. And star Indy receiver Reggie Wayne was back after aggravating a minor knee injury Friday.
The only Saints player of
note who was dealing with an issue was cornerback Randall Gay, who missed practice Friday with an illness. He will
play tonight.
As of this writing, the
late money appears to be coming in on the Colts – the line at Bodog has
moved back up to Indianapolis -6. And the total also has risen, currently up to
57.5. That’s the highest total for the Super Bowl in the past 25 years. There
is of course live betting available on the game at Bodog. There’s still time to
bet on the Super Bowl at Bodog!
Top expert pick on this game: From the Hall-of-Fame Game kicking off the NFL
preseason, through the regular season in college and pros, a great bowls and
now the Super Bowl side and total. It includes a Wise Guy side. Also get 10

| Super Bowl Odds: Wacky Wagers and Prop Bets |
| Feb 7th, 2010 The Odds-makers at SportsBook have
once again gone above the call of duty for Super Bowl XLIV. There are over 350
different propositions to wager on for the Super Bowl between the New Orleans
Saints and the Indianapolis Colts.
A couple of the more interesting props for Super Bowl XLIV
involves Kim Kardashian,
“Prop”er
Amount of Chances to Make Money for Super Bowl The Odds-makers at
Sportsbook.com have once again gone above the call of duty for Super Bowl XLIV.
There are over 350 different propositions to wager on for the Super Bowl
between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts.
A couple of the more interesting props for Super Bowl XLIV
involves Kim Kardashian, the voluptuous girlfriend of
New Orleans running back Reggie Bush. Among the props involving Kardashian are “How Many Times will CBS show Kim Kardashian on TV during the Game” where the number has been
set at 2.5 over -130. This prop has seen quite a bit of movement, as it
originally opened 2.5 under -125. Another nifty prop involving the saucy
starlet, is ”Who Will Have More” Kim Kardashian
Measurements 34-26-39 vs. Reggie Bush rushing+receiving
yards.
According To Sportsbook.com spokesperson Dave Staley, “ Kardashian is a -38.5 favorite in this very intriguing
matchup, but people seem to like taking the plus number with Bush here, as Kardashian initially opened -40.5” Staley added, “One of
the most popular propositions for Super Bowl XLIV has been a cross sport
proposition involving Lebron James points on Saturday
vs. the total number of points scored by the Colts.” The number on this prop is
a pick ‘em.
There seems to be an equal number of Lebron
and Colts lovers, as there has been great two way action on the Lebron Saturday points vs. Colts total points prop.”
Another Super Bowl future at Sportsbook.com that is gaining some popularity
involves the Most Valuable Player and “Who will the Super Bowl MVP of the Game
Thank First”.
Odds-makers have installed God as a -125 favorite,
followed by “Teammates” at +200, “Family” at +400, “Doesn’t thank anyone” at
+500, and finally “Coach” at +900. Since Sportsbook.com is offering so many
propositions and futures for Super Bowl XLIV, there have been quite a bit of
line movement involving some of these props. In addition to some of the line
movements involving Kardashian, another prop that has
seen some movement is “Will There be Time left on the Game Clock When the
Wining Team Attempts to Dump Gatorade on the Head Coach.” This particular prop
opened Yes -150 and now currently stands at -140, as there has been quite a bit
of one-sided action on the No thus far.
A crazy trend that prop bettors will find interesting is
the fact that the NFC has won 12 straight coin flips. The odds of this are over
3000-1. Superstitious bettors that think that this trend will continue will
most likely be betting the Saints to win the coin toss at -105 juice. “Why stop
there”?
Dave Staley stated. “If you believe in fate that the NFC
will win its 13th straight coin flip, you might as well wager on the
Saints to receive the opening kickoff at reduced (-105) juice as well.”
Sportsbook.com is the place to be for all your Super Bowl XLIV betting needs.
There isn’t another betting site on the planet that offers as many wagering
opportunities for the big game on Sunday. Sportsbook.com is offering low juice
on a variety of props, including Coin Toss, where heads and tails are both at
just -101 juice.

| Super Bowl Prop Bets and Point Spread Primer |
| Feb 7th, 2010 SportsBook
takes a look at why the Super Bowl point spread is what it is.
Any coach past or present
will tell you the game of football is about two things, blocking and tackling.
While that is absolutely true in its simplest form, Super Bowl XLIV is
different from the past with the possible exception of just a handful of contests
for the Lombardi Trophy.
Start with the total of
this confrontation, set at 56.5, the highest ever, surpassing the Giants and
New England figure of 54 points two years ago. The most recent pointspread
shows Indianapolis -4.5, with 67% of the betting action at Sportsbook.com on
that side.
After the Colts solved
the Jets defense in winning the AFC Championship, most odds-makers were
thinking Indianapolis as three-point favorite against the winner of the NFC
contest. However, since New Orleans was dominated statistically in their
matchup by Minnesota, most thought 3.5 or four points would draw relatively
divided action. With roughly 15-20 percent of the dollars wagered on the side
of the Super Bowl by this past Sunday, the vast majority of the action had been
on Indy, moving them to -5.5 points, but the Dwight Freeney news shoved the
number back down to -4.5. In breaking down the two teams, is the number
accurate?
Peyton Manning vs New
Orleans pass defensePeyton Manning has arguably been the best quarterback in football
the last eight years. The Colts averaged 283 yards passing against teams that
allowed 218, that’s almost a 30 percent difference vs. any defense they have
taken on this year. Manning makes uncommon sight adjustments to blitzes and
gets rid of the ball quickly.
New
Orleans on the other hand can be riddled by opposing teams via the pass. Take away games this season in which the Saints
faced teams who preferred to run like Carolina, Detroit, Buffalo, Miami and the
Jets, and the New Orleans secondary surrendered 277.6 yards in the 12 other
contests or roughly what the Colts totaled all season. Granted, some the
yardage allowed was after New Orleans had built big leads in several early
games, but there were a number of late season contests in which they were also
torched.
Nobody in football makes
better in-game adjustments than Manning and his offensive coordinator Tom Moore
and nobody this season did a better job in stopping opposing teams by forcing
turnovers than the Saints. Defensive coordinator Greg Williams is on record as
saying how they attacked Brett Favre is similar to how they want to get after
Manning.
The Jets had Darrelle
Revis to at least take away Reggie Wayne and they did a good job in limiting
Dallas Clark. It does not appear Manning will face those same obstacles against
Saints secondary.Spread Differential – Indianapolis -7Drew Brees vs
Indianapolis pass defenseDrew Brees might not have All-Pro type receivers like
Manning has in Wayne and Clark; however he has a stable that any Kentucky thoroughbred
barn would be proud of.
No team in professional
football had a more diverse passing attack than New Orleans. The Saints had
seven different players catch 35 balls or more during the regular season. Coach
Sean Payton has set up his offense very much like a basketball team that has
both exceptional depth and the skill to score points.
Only Manning has the
ability to scan the field as quickly to find an open receiver as Brees, who
also has keen understanding of taking what the offense gives as well as wanting
to dictate the tempo to keep the defense guessing. The Colts are better
equipped to limit or contain the New Orleans passing game.
Bookend defensive ends
Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis can bring a heap of trouble off the edges.
Freeney in particular is going to demand a double team, unless his troubled
ankle proves otherwise, as normal backup tackle Jermon Bushrod is not equipped
to make this a solo project. Mathis’ edge over right tackle Jon Stinchcomb isn’t
as definitive; just the same the Colts DE is the better player. Antoine Beathea is an emerging star at
safety for the Colts, with the rest of the secondary somewhat dependant on what happens up front.
Spread Differential –
New Orleans -3Indianapolis running game vs. New Orleans front sevenFor two
teams in the Super Bowl, this is one area that is about as unusual as you will
find. The Colts running game is reminiscent of Bill Walsh’s
and Joe Montana’s first winning Super Bowl team from the 1982 season. The 49ers
were a pure passing team and ran the ball just to give the defense something to
preoccupy from time to time.
The Indianapolis front
office had not been impressed with Joseph Addai since they won the Super Bowl
in 2006 season and drafted Donald Brown from Connecticut. Addai doesn’t hit the
edges as well on the stretch plays, working better between the B-gaps and
making cuts. Indy posts a laughable 3.5 yards per carry against teams that
permitted 4.1.
The offense line seldom
gets a chance to go out and drive block, however does appear less potent in
this aspect of the game from the Super Bowl team from three years ago. Beyond
Sedrick Ellis, the Saints defense front absorbs more punishment than it
creates. New Orleans gives up 4.6 yards per carry, since their linebackers lack
extensive speed to quickly fill gaps. It would seem Indianapolis could do
business here, but has shown no inclination to commit to the run, rushing over
100 yards twice on last 12 contests.
Expect the Colts to be
satisfied carrying the ball their usual 23 times and leave it to their MVP to
close the deal.Spread Differential – EvenNew Orleans running game vs
Indianapolis front sevenBesides turnovers, if the Saints are going to upset the
Colts, this is where it has to come from. Guards Carl Nicks, Jahri Evans and
center Jonathan Goodwin must have special day opening up holes for Pierre
Thomas and Reggie Bush. Saints coach Payton needs to show restraint here and
get physical upfront with the Colts.
Gouging the Indianapolis
defense for four to five yards a pop opens up tight end Jeremy Shockey and slot
receiver Robert Meacham in the passing game. Payton may try the screen game,
however few have had success against linebackers Clint Session, Gary Brackett
and safety Beathea, who can all run and are sure tacklers. Instead, as part of
the running game, they should include trips (three receiver sets) to the short
side of the field, with Bush standing behind them and sending him into motion
to the wide side of the field, hopefully drawing a linebacker.
This gets Bush in the
open field for essentially a screen pass or comeback slant route underneath
with blockers, more or less a run play in the Saints’ offense. Spread Differential – New Orleans
-1Special Teams.
Reggie Bush gives the
Saints a home run hitter in returning punts, however the way to stop him is
what Minnesota did, have the punter sacrifice a few yards to increase kick
coverage and get right in his grill upon the catch. Indianapolis continues to
spend little time in this area and is strictly run of the mill. Where the Colts
have edge is at place-kicker. Matt Stover came in when Adam Vinateri was
injured. The 42-year old Stover will be the oldest player ever participate in
the Super Bowl and has 20 years experience, including being the Ravens kicker
during the 2001 Super Bowl campaign. Stover’s range is limited to about
45-yards, especially outdoors and has made 80 percent (20 of 25) of field goals
in his postseason career. Kicker Garrett Hartley is young enough (23) to
conceivably be Stover’s son. Hartley has made 24 of 26 field goals in his two
years, but the pressure is all together different on the game’s biggest stage.
Plus, Hartley has kicked in a dome the last two seasons and realistically is
untested, though his game winner over Minnesota was impressive.
Spread Differential –
Indianapolis -1. Coaching :It would seem these two coaches couldn’t be any more
different with each facing unprecedented scrutiny for the first time. Jim
Caldwell, to the chagrin of his team, gave up a 14-0 season and a chance for
perfection to be in this position and it worked. Caldwell’s strength is in his
beliefs and defensive. He altered the mechanics of the Colts defense, still
playing a lot of Cover 2, but blitzed twice as much as his predecessor Tony
Dungy.
With young players at
corner due to injuries, he followed the Colts’ ideologies of players expected
to step up and perform. He is a low key leader who
trusts his assistants and his team. Sean Payton’s arrival into the NFL showed a
fertile offensive mind who couldn’t devise enough
trick plays and use them quickly enough. Like many great offensive teams, the
coach and quarterback become one on various levels and Payton has trusted Brees
from the beginning. Payton took some lumps the last couple of seasons, which
has brought about a new found maturity. As opposed to
Caldwell, he embraced the notion of a perfect season when his team was 13-0. He
makes no bones about playing to his strength (offense) and turned the defense
over this season to Gregg Williams.
His biggest task this
game is not letting his emotions affect his play calling.Spread Differential –None.
Intangibles There have
been a number of teams that have won their first Super Bowl without having been
involved in this maniacal environment, but having the experience is certainly a
plus. Teams playing in this contest for the first time against experienced foe
are desultory 6-11 ATS. Though players say they understand, sometimes its
months later in reflection that they realize they were satisfied to make the
Big Game as opposed to truly desiring to win it. Payton and Brees have the
heart of an assassin, thus their preparation and desire is predicated on going
home as champions. The city of New Orleans, with all that has happened once
Hurricane Katrina made land, feels like it is playing with house money and
welcomes the idea of their football team playing for the city’s first
championship, instead of craving it. The Indianapolis team that was at this
same location in 2007 was probably the worst of the four previous (2003-06)
Colts playoff teams. That club found a hot rookie running back in Addai and the
offensive line got into a bull-dozing mode and they
plowed their way to championship.
That experience gives the
Colts an edge knowing what to expect and what level of performance is
necessary. Teams favored by three to six points in this truly American game are
8-2 ATS. Spread Differential –Indianapolis
-3Bottom Line - Having the best quarterback in the game who doesn’t make many
mistakes, a better defense and better than half the roster having Super Bowl
experience leads to figure below.

| Online Betting Gude To Super Bowl Kickoff Time |
| Feb 7th, 2010 What time does the Super Bowl start? Well Super Bowl
kickoff time is 6:25 but it really begins once you place your bet at SportsBook. Enjoy the pregame show or activities
at the 1st Mariner Arena and Tanglewood.
Watch the Superbowl online and bet it online. Here is
the guide to the latter.
In case you haven’t heard, the biggest betting day of the
year is this Sunday as the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints meet in
Super Bowl XLIV from Miami Florida. Offering over 350 props, Sportsbook.com
is the place with the most ways to score a profit.
Indianapolis wins and covers IF Peyton Manning has
time to throw the ball. Manning’s work ethic and attention to detail is well
documented and given time, he will pick apart any defense. Reggie Wayne and
Dallas Clark were quiet in the AFC Championship game, as New York had the best
shutdown corner in the NFL in Darrelle Revis and game-planned to take away Clark, forcing Manning
to look elsewhere, which he did. Jabari Greer and
Tracy Porter are two good corners, just not in the same area code as Revis. With DC Gregg Williams expected to blitz heavily
(though don’t be surprised if they rush three and have eight in coverage more
than believed with all the posturing), Manning will look to the hot receiver
and deliver.
The Colts don’t have to run a great deal, just meet their
23 attempts per game, to give New Orleans something to look at. As long as
Indianapolis averages 3.7 or more per carry, that keeps them on balance for all
down and distance situations.
Defensively, the Colts have to play their game. That means
rushing Drew Brees to make one read and throw the ball, not allowing him time
to survey the field and pick out a receiver for a bigger play. Indianapolis has
to be stout in the middle, as this is where the Saints prefer to run. That
would mean the names Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt are spoken frequently.
Indianapolis wins, but does not cover IF the Saints
take care of a few different aspects. Look for New Orleans to use various
packages that include five and six defense backs, depending on down and
distance. Coach Williams will entrust the underrated Greer can at least prevent
Wayne from having big game and will use a corner to cover Clark, to nullify his
speed and hope he can get underneath with safety help over the top. DT Sedrick Ellis has to be dynamic to shut down Colts running
game to three or less yards a pop (something the Saints have seldom done) and
be the key guy in creating pressure into Manning’s face up the gut.
A big factor will be the health of Dwight Freeney. He is Indy’s one true difference maker on defense
and if he is at 50 percent or less or can’t go much beyond the second quarter,
a big edge goes to Brees and his offense, since they won’t need to double Freeney, putting another receiver out into the pattern or
used as safety valve. The Indianapolis corners are beatable and given time,
Brees could have big day passing.
New Orleans is money line play IF they are the more
physical team. That starts up front on offense and carries over to front seven
on defense. The Saints can create a push with the trio of center Jonathan
Goodwin and guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks. If
this threesome starts punching holes in the Colts middle and Brackett is making
tackles five yards down field, head coach Sean Payton will be smiling and
working his play sheet feverishly. Pierre Thomas is punishing downhill runner
and Reggie Bush has been more physical, still having big play potential. A
running game leaves Brees with countless possibilities in the passing game,
short and long and if head coach Jim Caldwell wants to dial up blitzes, no
problem for Brees to go highly effective screen game. The Saints will not be
discouraged if they fall behind, as they have had a number of come from behind
victories.
The Saints defense is maligned and justifiably so, ranking
25th during the regular season and being ripped by Minnesota for 475
yards in NFC title tilt. However, ask Brett Favre and Kurt Warner how much they
enjoyed being hit by New Orleans blitzers, enough to
where both will likely retire having faced them in their last game ever. (OK,
overstating the point but a great trivia question in future years) The beauty
of a one game finale is that coach Williams defense has less pressure, as what
their real mission is to give up fewer points than what their team’s offense
scores regardless if Manning passes for 500 yards, just so long as they win. As
has been the case all year, the defense has to be opportunistic and create
turnovers, likely at least three. New Orleans has forced 46 takeaways this
season in 18 games and will have a few defensive wrinkles Manning has not seen
and has to hope they can keep the Colts in from of them. If this plan is
completed, Who Dat will mean Super Bowl champions.
Which way does the total go? Most experts are
figuring a shootout with the two premier quarterbacks this season; each is well-armed with a myriad of weapons and defenses that have
as many questions as answers. Nerves and the feeling out process play a big
role in the first quarter, as 10 of the last 11 Super Bowls have seen 10 or
fewer points in the opening 15 minutes, with seven of those being 3-0 or no
score. Typically, once the players and coaches have made adjustments, the
offenses start to sizzle. Given the circumstances and how these offenses can
perform, points in the final 45 minutes should add up quickly. However, minus
the equal production, it seems unlikely that their will be enough points to
surpass this highest Super Bowl total ever.
Sportsbook.com currently has Indianapolis as
five-point favorite with total of 56.5. However, these numbers have been
changing every day so check out the Betting Trends page to

| Super Bowl Sunday Sports Picks: Basketball and NHL Play Too |
| Feb 7th, 2010 Hopefully by Super Bowl start time the power will be
restored to snow storm cities in the Northeast. We don’t care about Sarah Palin
and the Tea Party, it’s all about Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports
Roundup: The Magic meet the Celtics, the Habs take on the Bruins, and the
Saints and Colts take to the gridiron for Super Bowl XLIV.
Colliding on the gridiron . . .
Peyton
Manning will be looking to lead the Colts to a championship for the second time
in his career when he takes the field at Miami’s Sun Life Stadium for Super
Bowl XLIV on Sunday night. The Colts surged in the second half to pick up a
30-17 home win over the Jets in the AFC Championship Game last time out.
Manning went 26-of-39 for 377 yards passing in that game against New York,
throwing for three touchdowns and no interceptions. Austin Collie, Pierre
Garcon, and Dallas Clark all caught TD passes, while Joseph Addai rushed for 80
yards.
The Saints slipped past Minnesota for a 31-28 home
overtime win in the NFC Championship Game last time out.
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was good on 17-of-31
pass attempts for 197 yards in that contest, with three touchdowns and no
interceptions. Reggie Bush, Devery Henderson, and Pierre Thomas had the TD
catches for the Saints. Oddsmakers have the Saints
pegged as 4.5-point underdogs against the Colts in the battle for the Vince
Lombardi Trophy on Sunday night, while the total for the Super Bowl this year
sits at 56.5.
However they
are as high as 5.5 at BetED.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .
The
NBA has two games on tap for Sunday, with Sacramento at Toronto and Orlando at
Boston. The Magic and Celtics last met on January 28 in Orlando, with Rashard
Lewis picking up 23 points in his team’s 96-94 home win. Dwight Howard was good
for 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic in that contest, while Jameer
Nelson had 12 points.
Ray Allen scored a team-high 20 points in that losing
cause for the Celtics, with Rasheed Wallace contributing 17 points off the
bench. Kevin Garnett was held to six points and seven boards for the Celtics.
As
well, there are just two ranked teams in action on the college basketball
schedule for Sunday, with Iowa at No. 13 Ohio State, and No. 3 Syracuse at
Cincinnati.
The Orange moved to 22-1 (13-5 ATS) on the season with an
85-68 win over Providence last time out. Kris Joseph had 23 points in that game
for Syracuse, which has won nine straight games. The Bearcats will be looking
to bounce back from their 83-65 loss to Notre Dame in their last game on
Thursday night. Larry Davis scored a team-high 12 points in Thursday’s loss for
Cincinnati.
Taking a trip around the rink . . .
Finally,
there are just two games on the National Hockey League schedule for Sunday,
with Pittsburgh at Washington in the latest Crosby/Ovechkin battle, and Boston
at Montreal in a rematch of their Thursday night contest. The Canadiens pulled
out a 3-2 win in a shootout over the rival Bruins on Thursday, with Brian
Gionta providing the game-winning goal. Glen Metropolit and Roman Hamrlik
scored for Montreal in regulation time in that win, while Jaroslav Halak
stopped 45 of 47 Boston shots. Mark Recchi and Blake Wheeler had goals for the
Bruins.

| Free Pick Before Super Bowl Start Time and Tim Tebow Ad |
| Feb 7th, 2010 We don’t know what time will the Tim Tebow commercial air,
but the Super Bowl start time is not until 6:25 EST. The latest Super Bowl betting line
or we should say Super Bowl betting odds—plural because the link includes
every proposition bet—has Indianapolis -5 and 57.
Fantastic basketball handicapper
Matt Rivers has a free picks on St. Peter’s at home against Canisius.
I have ridden the Peacocks of St. Peter’s five times
this season and finally just came up empty the other night in
Fairfield. This program is much improved this season and at 8-3 in the MAAC are
actually pound for pound one of the most improved programs in the entire
country. The days of being a total doormat are long gone and right now after
still the class of the conference in Siena and maybe Iona and Fairfield we
may have these ‘Cocks in at worst the fourth position.
Canisius is better this season as well but they
are still a few steps back and on the road in Jersey City tonight should equal
a 10 or so point St. Pete. victory.
Wesley Jenkins and Ryan Bacon are very talented players
that can score and crash the boards and Nick Leon is not too shabby
either. John Dunne has done a great job this season coaching the team up and before
last week were actually riding a five game winning streak including shocking Niagara
twice as 5 and 10 point dogs. The ‘Cocks also won at Rider and at Canisius
pretty much outclassing the Golden Griffins in that one, 68-55.
Frank Turner should get his points for the visitors
and I’m not thinking this will be a total burial at all but this season series
will be a sweep in a matter of hours as I’m looking in the neighborhood of
once again upper 60’s vs. the 50’s.
The pick: St.
Peter’s -5.5 at SportsBook

| Saints-Colts Bet Preview; Double Down on UFC 109 Results |
| Feb 6th, 2010 It’s the New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts in
Super Bowl XLIV. The Super Bowl start time is 6:25
EST. The sportsbook odds between the Saints-Colts is Indianapolis
-5 with a total of 57.
Kobe Bryant is out for the Lakers against Portland.
LA is still at two-point favorite at Bodog
while the UFC 109 odds are up. The Jill George crash video is
dominating YouTube though tomorrow it surely will be
the Tim Tebow pro-life commercial. Alli Owens qualifies at Daytona, showing Danica Patrick is not the only elite lady driver.
Rickey Jackson, John Randle, and Russ Grimm were among
those who join Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice in the NFL Hall-of-Fame.
We are ready to silence the great debaters of sports betting with the ultimate Super
Bowl gambling preview.
The Saints are 15-3 straight up but have lost 9-of-12 when
the sportsbooks are keeping score.
The Colts are 16-2 outright and 12-6 to the number. They
enter having gone over 5-of-6.
The Saints average 32.6 points per game against teams
normally allowing 21.9 on 4.5 yards per rush to 4.3, 7.9 passing yards per
attempt to 6.7 and 6.3 yards per play to 5.6.
Defensively they are terrible. They allow 21.3 points per
game to teams normally getting 20.7 on 4.6 yards per rush to 4.6, 6.6 passing
yards per attempt to teams normally getting 6.4 and 5.7 yards per play to 5.4.
“Perception is not always reality, but the numbers back up
the belief that the Saints offense is excellent and the defense putrid,” says
Mike Godsey of GodsTips, widely considered the top football betting service of
all-time.
The Colts average scoring 25.9 points per game against
teams normally allowing 21.1.
Their running game is anemic, getting just 80 rushing
yards per game against teams normally allowing 112 on 3.5 yards per rush to
4.1.
Passing is the Colts fancy. Indianapolis
gets 7.5 yards per pass against teams normally allowing 6.5 and 5.9 yards per
play versus 5.4.
The Colts defense has been effective. They allow 18.2
points per game to teams normally getting 21 on 4.3 yards per rush to 4.4, 6.0
yards per pass to 6.5, and 5.2 yards per play to 5.5.
“The only area of weakness is running the ball,” points
out Godsey.
Against the spread records: The Saints are 6-1 after
allowing more than 350 total yards previous game and 6-1 on grass. However,
they are 0-5 after allowing more than 250 yards passing last game.
The Colts are 5-0 as favorites of 3.5-10. They’ve also
covered 9-of-10 on grass.
Over/under angles: The Saints have gone under 7-1 after
allowing more than 250 yards passing last game. They’ve gone over 49-23 against
teams with a winning record.
Indianapolis
has gone over 13-6 after allowing more than 350 total yards previous game.
Top expert pick on
this game: From the Hall-of-Fame Game kicking off the NFL preseason,
through the regular season in college and pros, a great bowls and now the Super
Bowl side and total. It includes a Wise Guy side. Also get 10 proposition bets.

| Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow Commercial Not Only Super Bowl Prop Bets |
| Feb 6th, 2010 All the major
Vegas odds houses and each offshore sportsbook has the normal wagers on total yards and
rushing attempts/passing attempts/catches of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Reggie
Bush, Reggie Wayne and every player.
Each of the oddsmakers have their own wacky wagers as well. SportsBook has
odds on the length of Carrie Underwood’s National Anthem at a minute and 42
seconds.
How much time
will be left before Gatorade drenches the winning coach? The baseline is set at
45 seconds left in the game.
How about how
many times will Kim Kardashian be shown? “The over
2.5 seems like a lock,” says Bob Warner of the top sports betting blog.
How Many Times
will Pete Townshend do his legendary “Windmill Move”? The books say 5.5 is the bettable total.
We have not
seen any propositions on the Tim Tebow commercial,
though we suspect any time the announcers say “Focus on Family” they will
precede it with conservative yet never label Planned Parenthood “liberal”.
Of course one
can ante up on who will be the Super Bowl MVP, point spread and total points by
half and quarter and Bodog remains the leader for those who want to bet in-game. The top NFL
handicappers have made picks on the side and totals.
Oh the latest
odds on the Super Bowl has Indianapolis at -5 with a total of 56.5.

| Tennessee vs. South Carolina Spread Picks From Top Sports Handicapper |
| Feb 6th, 2010 Matt Rivers has
a comp pick on South Carolina plus the points. They are getting 9.5 at SportsBook playing
at Tennessee.
It was a great victory when Tennessee upset Kansas at home
and the story was even better as a bunch of walk-ons helped a ton in the end
thanks to the suspensions but the Volunteers really have not done all that much
since.
Bruce Pearl’s team is talented with Chism,
Hopson, Maze, Prince and others and can put up points but things have just not
been that great of late. UT has now dropped four in a row to the number and
none of those games have even been close. Something is just not right with the Vols right now.
Tennessee started the downward slide in that 78-63 loss at
Georgia as the 6 point chalk. That was mind scratching
but any team can lay an egg and at that time that’s all it appeared to be.
But then they lost at home 85-76 to Vanderbilt as a touchdown or so favorite.
Two games ago the Vols needed pretty much a
buzzer beater to nip Florida by a point as the touchdown plus chalk. Then in
that last game Pearl’s squad did very little in the win but non-cover against a
pretty terrible LSU squad.
One of these games we will see the explosive UT team show
up and South Carolina has been an injured team this season but with Devan Downey dominating there is no reason that the
Gamecocks will not stay in range here in Knoxville. Darin Horn continues to
impress me as a coach as he continues to get the most out of his team
this season without both Archie and Holmes for the majority of it.
SC probably won’t rise to the occasion like they did
against former number one Kentucky that night last week in Columbia but to get
around double digits is just too much.

| NBA Saturday Preview |
| Feb 6th, 2010 Super Bowl
Sunday is now only two days away and everyone is weighing in on the Super Bowl odds
and their NFL picks. With all the hype surrounding
the big game, it can be easy to miss some interesting matchups that could be
possible playoff previews in the NBA. This Saturday the Utah Jazz host the
Denver Nuggets in a battle of two underrated hot teams.
Denver Nuggets (33-16, 2nd in Western Conference) @
Utah Jazz (30-18, 4th
in Western Conference)
Betting Services
(*note lines are approximations as they have not been posted
at the time of writing)
Spread: Jazz -1.5
Over/Under: 205
Money Line: Jazz – 140, Blazers +110
Key
Matchups
PG:
Chauncey Billups vs. Deron Williams
Chauncey
Billups was named to the western Conference All-Star team as a replacement for
the injured Chris Paul (out 4-6 weeks with knee surgery). Billups played
through a loss to a tough Phoenix team with a strained ankle and couldn’t get
his shot going (5-14, 11 points and four assists). Billups should be fine and
said he will play in this matchup. Billups is averaging a career high 19.4
points a game and has become the leader of this Nuggets team.
Deron Williams
is also an All-Star and has played exceptionally well this year (18.9 PPG,
9.7APG, 4.0 RPG). The Jazz are 11-1 in their last 12 games and Williams play
has been a big part of that. He is both an excellent facilitator and defender
while being a fierce competitor
Advantage: Even
SG: J.R.
Smith vs. Ronnie Brewer
Smith is
usually this team’s sixth man, but with an ankle injury to Carmelo Anthony
sidelining him for another game, Smith will either get the startor play the
majority of the minutes at the two-guard spot. Smith is a top-notch athlete
with great dunking and shooting ability. He takes chances on defense and
sometimes lets his emotions control his play. Smith has been much improved in
those areas however, compared to previous seasons.
Ronnie Brewer
is a long defender at the two guard spot and is one of the game’s better young
role players. Brewer averages ten points a game but is not asked to be a
primary scorer. His size matches up well with the offensive minded Smith.
Advantage: Even
SF: Arron
Afflalo vs. Andrei Kirelenko
Afflalo has
been a revelation coming over from Detroit for spare parts. Afflalo was an
All-American at UCLA but his game allegedly didn’t translate very well to the
next level. Well Afflalo has shown he has superior on-court awareness and has
become an excellent shooter and a sneaky good defender. His play in Melo’s
absence has really kept the Nuggets ship sailing upright.
AK-47 may not
be the top defender that he once was, but can still guard most opponents very
well especially on the post. Melo is the type of offensive player that AK would
have a tough matchup with, but Afflalo is a little smaller and doesn’t have the
moves to shake and bake this cagey veteran defender consistently on his home
court.
Advantage: Jazz
PF: Kenyon
Martin vs. Carlos Boozer
K-Mart has
seen his career revitalized in the past couple of seasons with Billups passing
him the ball and running the court. Martin is still an athletic defender and a
big banger down in the paint. He also plays well in the transition offense and
is a better shooter than many believe (47.5%).
Carlos Boozer
will likely return to the Jazz lineup after sitting out three games with a
tweaked hammy this past week. Boozer has once again had a terrific season and
he’s one of the best low post players in the game. He has nice range on his
jump shot and has to be covered from just inside the perimeter. He also is a
very good passer with 3.3 assists a game to go along with 19 points and 10
rebounds a contest.
Advantage: Jazz
C: Nene vs.
Mehmet Okur
Nene has been
solid for the Nuggets this season and has really come into his own as a center
in the NBA. Averaging 14 points and 8 boards a game while shooting an impressive
58% from the field Nene is almost always a factor in the game. His play can
sometimes be erratic and he doesn’t have much range to his shot but most teams
in the NBA would kill for a big man like Nene.
Memo Okur is a
unique type of center. Memo does not play primarily from down low like most
centers as he is a very good outside shooter (44% FG, 40% 3PT). Okur is coming
off an 11-13, 28 point night against a very good
Blazers team and looks poised to do the same against a team that does not have
size on the perimeter.
Advantage:Jazz
Bench: Ty Lawson, Chris “Birdman”
Anderson, Malik Allen, Anthony Carter, Renaldo Balkman vs. Paul Millsap, C.J.
Miles, Ronnie Price, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews
Both teams’
benches have players that can make big impacts in any game. Rookie PG Ty Lawson
has picked up right where he left off at UNC and has been scary good in his
time subbing for Billups. Birdman adds flair and shot-blocking
to a team that is already strong in the paint.
Jazz PF Paul
Millsap is one of the league’s best bench players year after year and will
likely get a chance to start soon. Kyle Korver is a sharpshooter from three and
can change a game’s momentum with the flick of his wrist.
Advantage: Even
Prediction:
The Jazz have a
great home record (21-6) and while the Nuggets are a strong team, without
Carmelo Anthony, they are not elite. I like the Jazz to hold off the Nuggets in
a high scoring affair.
Final: Jazz 116
– Denver 108. Take the Jazz and the over.

| Sportsbooks Will Crash Like Charlie Sheen SUV |
| Feb 5th, 2010 All the nation’s top sports
service picks are winning. The winningest
sports service ever GodsTips is ready to wind up yet
another great football betting season. Oh but Brandon Lang says he’s hit
104 consecutive Super Bowl picks. Right and Richard Simmons won the Wing Bowl
2010, Todd Leary and Michael Irvin are role models.
The
best bettors are going to crash the Bodog party like the Charlie
Sheen SUV.
Let others sweat Super
Bowl commercials and the Grown Up trailer, our sports
handicapper experts are picking winners. Among them Matt Rivers who
says go with the Nets plus the points.
The Nets may be an
absolute utter disgrace with their four whole wins on the season but they have
been competing of late and covering games. Kiki Vandeweghe’s boys have now
cashed the ticket in four of their last five games and the lone non-cover was
by basically one measly point against the Pistons.
Brook Lopez and Devin
Harris are both All-Star caliber players and Kris Humphries and Courtney Lee
are quality enough as well. Obviously a win is almost impossible in this spot
in Beantown against the far superior Celtics but with
Paul Pierce out and a Celtics team that has been extremely mediocre of late why
not grab a baker’s dozen or so?
I have said it for awhile and still do believe that the Nets are far better
than their record and will win some games. Well they have made me a liar on the
last part but that really doesn’t matter all that much here as a cover is
enough for me.
Garnett, Rondo, Perkins
and Allen are too good to lose this thing but I’m not so sure that they can all
of a sudden become a great team in this spot without Pierce and in a game that
should lead to little motivation.
The C’s are looking old
of late and in the end I can see a pedestrian eight-point victory for the
homeboys and another cover for the 4 and whatever Nets.
Matt
Rivers NBA pick: New Jersey Nets +12.5 at SportsBook.

| Sports Handicapping Service Shattering Long-Standing Records |
| Feb 5th, 2010 Ask any sportsbook,
Vegas runner, oddsmaker, or any
gamblers of any level. ScoresOddsPicks has made the most phenomenal impression
of any debut sports handicapper.
Thursday night it was 6-1
to go to 49-21. Here is what you missed.
NCAA Basketball Picks for
February 4
By Shea Matthews
Even ranked teams aren’t
safe, as the Michigan State Spartans showed us last night in their loss to
Wisconsin. The good news? We called it. You’re in good hands with our picks for
Thursday then, aren’t you?
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4
(19) Georgia Tech (16-5)
vs (9) Duke (17-4)
Ooh, ranked-versus-ranked
matchups always get me giddy. Though Georgia Tech handles itself well on the
road, going 8-2 against the spread over its last 10, Duke is a powerhouse at home.
Coach K’s Blue Devils are undefeated straight up and 8-3 ATS at home this
season. They’ve won eight of 10 against the Yellow Jackets, including five
straight at home.
Pick: Duke
Florida (15-6) vs Alabama
(13-8)
These football giants
produce football-like scores on the hardwood. Combined, they’ve gone 22-7 on
the under this year. There’s no clear advantage for either team but Florida
scores more and Alabama is only 5-5 ATS at home.
Pick: Florida
Detroit (14-8) vs (15)
Butler (18-4)
Careful here! Butler is a
force but not against the spread. Detroit is 7-1 ATS in its last eight road
games and Butler is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 home games. Even during Butler’s
current dominant run, it’s 5-5 ATS in its last 10. Butler will win, but
evidence suggests it won’t cover.
Pick: Detroit
North Carolina (13-8) vs
Virginia Tech (16-4)
It’s been a rocky year
for UNC, which clearly misses Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough. The Tar Heels
aren’t keeping games close on the road of late, going 3-7 ATS in their last 10.
Virginia Tech is the reverse, going 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games. North Carolina has won five straight
meetings but this is a different team; I think VT avenges its road loss from a
few weeks ago.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Portland (14-7) vs (13)
Gonzaga (17-4)
High-flying Gonzaga loves
to score, averaging 79 points per game; that produces a 14-4 over record this
season. I think you know what to bet there. Gonzaga has lost four straight ATS
but won six straight ATS before that slide. Playing Portland, whom Gonzaga has
beaten 10 straight times, is a recipe for redemption. Expect big nights from
Matt Bouldin and Elias Harris.
Pick: Gonzaga
NBA odds: LeBron and
D-Wade face off once again
NBA odds feature two
great matchups tonight. First, Dwyane Wade and the Heat will try avenging a
recent one-point loss to LeBron James and the Cavaliers. On the West Coast, the
Spurs are trying to snap a four-game skid against Portland.
Miami Heat at Cleveland
Cavaliers (-9.5) – 8:05 p.m. ET
Dwyane Wade is once
against showing signs of wear-and-tear, and it’s hurting the Heat. Miami
(24-25, 24-25 ATS) has lost three straight games and only covered twice in its
last six outings. Wade was brilliant against Boston last night (30 points, 15
assists) but he’s playing hurt and hasn’t been as impressive on zero-days rest
(22.0 PPG compared to his season average of 27.0)
LeBron James, on the
other hand, has been absolutely incredible. Many thought the Cavaliers (39-11,
26-23-1 ATS) were in trouble when guards Mo Williams and Delonte West went down
with injuries a few weeks ago, but James has simply morphed his game and played
the role of distributor. The result is nine straight wins, including a
five-game winning streak against the spread and covering four of their last
five at home.
Cleveland has covered six
of its last nine games against Miami, including a few weeks ago on January 25.
James and D-Wade had an impressive duel but the Cavs came out on top 92-91 when
Wade missed two big free throws with less than a minute left (the Cavs were
one-point underdogs). In fact, he had only two points in the second half after
scoring 30 in the first. Now, coming off a busy game in Boston, he’s likely to
be worn out. Bet on Cleveland to win and cover again.
Pick: Cleveland
San Antonio Spurs (-2) at
Portland Trailblazers – 10:30 p.m. ET
Things are getting
uncomfortable in Portland, where the Trailblazers (29-22, 28-22-1 ATS) have
lost four of their last six games. Despite the failures straight up, NBA
betting fans have still been able to trust Portland; the team is 6-3 ATS in its
last nine games. That’s especially impressive since star player Brandon Roy
played just18 minutes in that span, completely missing all but one game. The
Blazers have been far from dominant at home, though, with a 3-2 record in their
last five games at the Rose Garden.
San Antonio (28-19,
23-23-1 ATS) has won three of four but went just 2-2 against the point spread.
Hitting the road might actually do the Spurs some good after winning only twice
during a six-game home stand. The Spurs have only covered once in their last
four games away from home, though. Like Portland, the Spurs are contending with
injuries. Point guard Tony Parker has sat out three straight games with an
ankle injury, though he’s expected to play tonight.
Portland has beat San
Antonio in four consecutive games, including 4-0 against the spread. That run
is about to come to an end, though. Roy is debating playing tonight but he
certainly isn’t 100 percent and is a much better bet to suit up this weekend. With
Parker returning (and his replacement George Hill playing well anyway) look for
the Spurs to snap their losing streak to the Blazers.
Pick: San Antonio
