Point Spreads for Every Super Bowl
January 28, 2008
The New England Patriots are currently 11-point favorites against the New York Giants, but betting fans are wondering how much it may change before the game. When Vegas first learned of the match-up they set the line at 14, and in just one week it has dropped 3 points. There is still one week till the two teams take the field, and fans might see another drop in the line. We don’t see the line moving much more from where it’s at, but if Brady’s injury becomes more severe the line would drop...
NCAA Basketball Picks 1/28/08
January 28, 2008
A split yesterday as Maryland blew a big lead. Those are the kinds of games that really piss you off since we had all but chalked up that game as a win yesterday. Let’s move on and get this week started off right with the only college winner we have seen worth playing tonight. College of Charleston +2 This line looks a little fishy to us since Charleston has lost three straight games while Wofford has won their last three. Wofford has the better record at 11-9 while Charleston is 10-11....
NBA Picks 1/28/08
January 28, 2008
There is only one game going tonight in the NBA that shows value and we think we have this winner pegged down. Let’s get on the winning track tonight with the Spurs/Jazz matchup. San Antonio Spurs +2 The Spurs were embarrassed on Saturday by the New Orleans Hornets and this is a team with a lot of pride that is going to want to bounce back strongly. Tim Duncan has never had a worse loss on his home floor in his entire career and when they head to Utah the Jazz are going to get the full...
Super Bowl Line Moves
January 27, 2008
It seems like the odds makers overshot their target when they set the opening number for this year’s Super Bowl. As soon as the conference championship games had ended New England was listed as a two touchdown favorite over the New York Giants. People who liked the Giants threw down a lot of money early and the odds quickly went down trying to attract action on the Patriots. That shouldn’t be a problem since the general public seemed to ride the Pats all season long and did well...

NCAA Basketball Picks 1/27/08
January 27, 2008
Tough day on Saturday, but we look to bounce back with two solid winners, including the big game between Maryland and Duke. Xavier -4 Xavier rises to the abilities of the team that they are playing, as evidenced by their 21-10 ATS record against teams with a record above .500 the last two seasons. UMass is 13-5 and 7-1 at home, so Xavier is going to have their hands full today if they hope to come out with a victory, but we think they can do it. They have won 8 of their last 9 games and seem...
NBA Picks 1/27/08
January 27, 2008
We took another day off from the NBA yesterday since we didn’t see any value in the four games on the board. Let’s get back on track with this sole winner for Sunday. Sacramento Kings -4 We took Seattle the other night and they screwed us, now we are going to fade them. This team is terrible and has now lost 13 straight games. You would think home floor would give them an advantage here against the Kings, but the Sonics have dropped six straight in front of what little crowd they...
2008 Grammy Predictions
January 26, 2008
The 2008 Grammys are sure to be a knock-out production as they are every year but this time the tables are slightly turned. With the Writer’s strike bringing the Oscars to a halt, the Grammys are one of the only remaining chances celebrities have to strut down the red carpet and show off their newest Botox injection, Pimp Cup or Boob job. Of course, you never know which artist will rock the stage and which ones will deliver less than perfect performances. But one thing that you can be sure...
