| Nov 22nd, 2009 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.
Last week GodsTips goes 7-4 last week including a pair of
moneyline winners. Today you go 8-0 in the NFL including two moneyline
underdogs. Our only hint is two of the biggest underdogs on the board win. Get

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .
The NBA offers up a half-dozen games on Sunday, with Orlando at Toronto, Boston
at New York, Indiana at Charlotte, New Orleans at Miami, Detroit at Phoenix,
and Oklahoma City at the Lakers. The Thunder moved to 7-6 on the season with a
127-108 win over the Wizards on Friday night; Kevin Durant poured in 35 points
in that contest. The Lakers are 9-3 this year, getting past the Bulls 108-93 on
Thursday. Pau Gasol had 24
points and 13 boards in that victory.
As well, several ranked teams are in action in college hoops on Sunday,
including both No. 7 Purdue and No. 10 Tennessee in the Paradise Jam event in
the Virgin Islands. The Boilermakers face St.
Joseph’s on Sunday, and they dispatched South
Dakota State 74-63
on Friday thanks to 22 points from E’Twaun Moore. The
Volunteers’ Sunday opponent is DePaul; Tennessee
beat East Carolina 105-66 in their Friday game, with
Scotty Hopson scoring 25 points.
Taking a trip around the rink . . .
There are just two games on the National Hockey League’s schedule for Sunday,
with Tampa Bay
at Atlanta and Chicago
at Vancouver. The Canucks sit at 12-10-0 on the season (and 8-2-0 at home) after getting past Colorado
by a score of 5-2 on Friday night. Christian Ehrhoff
(with two), Henrik Sedin,
Steve Bernier, and Mikael Samuelsson
all scored in that win for the Canucks, who put up four goals in the third
period. Roberto Luongo stopped 22 of 24 Colorado
shots in the game.
Roaring around the track . . .
Finally, Jimmie Johnson will be looking to wrap up the Sprint Cup title on
Sunday afternoon when the series takes the track at Homestead-Miami Speedway
for the season-ending Ford 400. Mark Martin, the only driver that can catch
Johnson for the Cup title, is listed as the 13/2 Vegas favorite for the race,
with both Johnson and Jeff Gordon pegged as 7/1 odds. Greg Biffle
is next on that list at 17/2, with Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch sitting at 10/1
odds to visit victory lane at the event.
