Kentucky Derby Betting Props
April 30, 2008
Just like many other big sporting events betters can make proposition bets on the Kentucky Derby. While almost all of your bets are going to be of a normal or exotic bet like a trifecta. We figured we would take some time thanks to Bodog.com and look at some of this year’s prop bets. In betting props there are plenty of chances to win big, but we don’t think it’s the best of ideas to go blowing a bunch of money here. For prop better its always fun to put a couple small bets on something...

Trainers at the 2008 Kentucky Derby
April 27, 2008
While many of us will be only focused on the horses names that are racing at the Kentucky Derby, there is a few other people that have a lot to do with how this horse will perform come race day.

April 26, 2008
With the Kentucky Derby set to get started in just a matter of weeks, its time to reveal our predictions for this historic horse racing event.

Baltimore Ravens 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 21, 2008
The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a pretty poor season in which they finished 5-11 at the bottom of the AFC North. The team was the 8th worse team in the whole league, which means they get the 8th pick in this year’s draft. Things went from bad to worse when Steve McNair announced his retirement, meaning Kyle Boller is back in the starting lineup and will likely get another shot at leading the team to victory. The team has only added two new faces in LB Brendon Ayanbadejo and CB Frank Walker....
Cincinnati Bengals 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 21, 2008
Last year had to be a tough one if you are a Bengals fan, the team collapsed at the end of the 2006 season to miss the playoffs by one game. They looked like a team that was just about to get things rolling, and then they went 7-9 in 2007 and finished behind the Cleveland Browns for 3rd in the AFC North. To add to the struggles the team best play maker in Chad Johnson doesn’t sound like he wants to play for the Bengals anymore. This would be a huge hit to a team that has to score to win games....
Cleveland Browns 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 21, 2008
The Cleveland Browns were the surprise team last season as they were so close to making the playoffs for the first time since 2002. They tied the Steelers for the best record in the AFC North at 10-6, but wound up missing out because of a tiebreaker. That just goes to show how hard the AFC can be, as it seems its becoming more of regularity for a 10-6 team to miss out on the playoffs. The Browns have been fairly quit this offseason but have added some solid pieces in OG Rex Hadnot, DT Shaun Rogers,...
Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 21, 2008
The Pittsburgh Steelers first season without former head coach Bill Cowher was a pretty good start to the Mike Tomlin era. They ended up finishing the season at 10-6 tied with the Cleveland Browns for the best record out of the AFC North. The Steelers edged out Cleveland by a tiebreaker and went on to the playoffs, where they lost a close one to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Steelers haven’t been that busy this offseason as they have only added 3 new faces from last years team. They added LB...
St. Louis Rams 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The St. Louis Rams were one of the most disappointing teams in the league last season as they finished the season at a poor 3-13, for the 2nd worst record in the NFL. Things just didn’t seem to click as QB Marc Bulger threw 4 more interceptions than touchdowns, and RB Steven Jackson was no where near the numbers he is expected to put up. The defense wasn’t much to speak for either, as it finished in the bottom of the league in both pass and rush defense. The one bright spot out of all...
San Francisco 49ers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
A lot went bad last season for the San Francisco 49ers and it led to a 5-11 record. They spent most of the season without starting QB Alex Smith, and RB Frank Gore didn’t have the break out year that everyone was expecting him to have. The 49ers finished the season with the worst overall offense, and the 26th worst defense, so there is no question the team has a lot of places that need some improvement. The team has made some improvements with the addition of WR Isaac Bruce, WR Bryant Johnson,...
Seattle Seahawks 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Seahawks were pretty solid in 2007, but never really seemed like they were a dominant team that would make a run for at another game in the Super Bowl. The team did finish 10-6, but it was in the weak NFC West. They were able to beat Washington in the first round of the playoffs, but got man handled by the Packers in the second round. The team has went out and landed running backs T.J. Duckett and Julios Jones, meaning they are probably ready to part ways with Shawn Alexander. They did lose LB...
Arizona Cardinals 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Arizona Cardinals were expected to be a much better team in 2007, but could never really get things going for a long period of time and wound up finishing the season at 8-8. The spent much of the second half of the season without Matt Leinart, but didn’t have to bad of backup in Kurt Warner. While Warner was solid in 2007, they need Leinart to be the guy many people believe he can be. The team’s biggest offseason move came in the signing of DE Travis LaBoy. On the other side of things...
Tennessee Titans 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Tennessee Titans might have finished 3rd in the NFC South at 10-6, but they were still good enough in the AFC to make it to the playoffs as a wild card team. They didn’t last long as they were sent home after a first round loss to the San Diego Chargers. The Titans have made some key offseason additions so far in TE Alge Crumpler, DE Jevon Kearse, and OG Jake Scott. The team was hit pretty hard on the defensive side of things when DE Travis LaBoy, DE Antwan Odom, and DT Randy Starks. So...
Houston Texans 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Houston Texans made huge strides in 2008 as they finished the season at 8-8. Though that was only good enough for 4th place in the AFC South, its good to see this team finishing at .500 or better. The team seemed find an answer at QB with Matt Schaub, and a big time playing make receiver in Andre Johnson. The team has spent the offseason bringing in guys like CB Jacques Reeves, LB Kevin Bentley, RB Chris Brown. Though these additions will help the team to get better in 2008, they still have some...
Jacksonville Jaguars 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Jacksonville Jaguars were pretty impressive last season as they finished up the regular season at 11-5, but were still a couple games behind the division leading Indianapolis Colts. So far the Jaguars have been pretty busy this offseason, they have picked up WR Jerry Porter, WR Troy Williamson, CB Drayton Florence, and QB Cleo Lemon. On the other hand they did see some big names from last season find other places to play. They traded away DT Marcus Stroud, and lost CB Aaron Glenn, backup QB Quinn...
Indianapolis Colts 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 19, 2008
The Indianapolis Colts failed to defend their 2006 NFL Championship, but still managed to have another very successful season. The Colts went 13-3 in the very tough AFC South, but were unable to beat the Chargers at home in the 2nd round of the playoffs. The team still has Peyton Manning so you know they will be back at in 2008. The Colts have been pretty quiet this offseason and seem content on building on the team from last year in the draft. They have yet to bring in a free agent, but have lost...
2008 NBA Playoff Predictions
April 17, 2008
The NBA playoffs are set to get under way on Saturday April 19. While the Western Conference is hands down the better of the two conferences, there can be some claim that the 2008 NBA Champion could be coming out of the Eastern Conference. With the regular season finally completed we can break down the playoffs round by round all the way to our prediction on who will be this year’s NBA Champion. Western Conference 1st Round 1. Los Angeles Lakers vs. 8. Denver Nuggets This is about as easy...
Carolina Panthers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 17, 2008
The Panthers were part of a week NFC South after having a disappointing season at 7-9. The team was just awful on offense after starting quarterback Jake Delhomme went down with an elbow injury that cost him the rest of the season. Without him the team dropped all the way to the 30th best offense in the league, and will need a healthy Delhomme if they want to return a contender in 2008. He will have more weapons to go along with Steve Smith as the team has went out picked up D.J. Hackett and Muhsin...
Atlanta Falcons 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 17, 2008
The Falcons had high hopes after the 2006 season, but everything took a bad turn when Michael Vick got in legal trouble and found himself in jail during the 2007 NFL season. The team didn’t have much time to prepare for an event like this and their 4-12 record was proof. The team has still yet to find a starting quarterback half of what Vick was, and is has many gaping holes to fill all over the field. The team did make a splash at running back by signing Michael Turner from San Diego, but...
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 16, 2008
The Buccaneers are coming off a pretty impressive season after finishing 9-7 and taking home the NFC South title. Their season was ended in the first round of the playoffs by the hands of the eventual champions in the New York Giants. The season was a surprise to many fans around the league, as many people had them picked to finished 3rd in the division.

New Orleans Saints 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 16, 2008
After a great 2006 season when the team went 10-6 and won the NFC South, the team went down hill in 2007 and wound up finishing at a very disappointing 7-9. The team lost their first 4 games of the season and also lost Deuce McAllister to a season ending knee injury. There is a lot of optimism for the 2008 season, as the team is ready to shake off what happened last season. They have also made some moves that should help things out. They went out and got a solid corner in Randall Gay, two starting...

Kansas City Chiefs 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 15, 2008
It’s hard to believe that this team was at one point leading the AFC West at 4-3. That was the last of the winning ways in 2007 as the team went on to lose its next 11 games and finish the season at 4-12 and tied with the Raiders for last in the division. The team continued to show improvements on defense, but was one of the worst offensive football teams in the league. The injury to Larry Johnson didn’t help matters. The offensive like was awful at giving any protection for new starter...
Oakland Raiders 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 15, 2008
The Raiders weren’t much to watch in 2007 as they joined the Chiefs and Broncos as part of dismal AFC West. The Raiders finished up the season at 4-12 and landed the 4th pick in this year’s draft. The team has been pretty busy this offseason bringing in players like CB DeAngelo Hall, WR Javon Walker, FS Gibril Wilson, and T Kwame Harris. So its looks like the Raiders want to win now rather than later. The team did part ways with veteran DT Warren Sapp and WR Jerry Porter. The team seems...
2008 Verizon Heritage Odds & Predictions
April 15, 2008
Its hard to believe that in just a matter of days the PGA Tour will be back at again, when the tour heads to Hilton Head Island, S.C. for the Verizon Heritage tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links. While some of the big names such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh will be taking the week off there is still a strong field set to do battle this weekend.

George St-Pierre v. Matt Serra Predictions & Odds
April 15, 2008
In one of the most anticipated rematches in UFC history, George “Rush” St-Pierre will take on Matt “The Terror” Serra for the unification of the Welterweight Championship. After Serra shocked the world in the first bout between these two fighters, he won the welterweight title from St-Pierre. But after he was unable to defend his title against Matt Hughes, at UFC 79, St-Pierre stepped in and won the interim welterweight title. So this weekend at UFC 83 Serra will have his...
UFC 83 Predictions & Odds

As UFC continues to grow in popularity there are many people out there placing bets on the...
Denver Broncos 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
Coming into last season that Broncos were picked by many to give the Chargers a run for the division title, or at least secure a wild card spot. But what happened was nowhere near that, as the team finished the season 7-9 and wondering what happened to the season that was suppose to be. Jay Cutler continues to make strides at quarterback and will have to do without Javon Walker as the team decided to part ways with the former pro bowl receiver. They did add Keary Colbert from the Panthers to play...
San Diego Chargers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
After a slow start to the 2007 season the Charger’s caught fire and won 8 of their last 9 games to finish the season at 11-5 and easily atop the AFC West. The west could be a little tougher in 2008, as the Broncos should return back to their winning ways, and who knows what to expect out of the Raiders and the spending spree they have went on this offseason. There isn’t a lot of major holes on this team, and with only one pick in the first 3 rounds the team will have to choose very wisely...
Minnesota Vikings 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
After making the biggest splash in last years draft when the Vikings selected Adrian Peterson with the 7th overall pick, the team was able to finish the season at 8-8 and just missed grabbing a wild card spot in the playoffs. The team is coming into 2008 with high hopes that it can improve on last year’s surprise season and make it back to the playoffs and possibly a division title now that the Packers are with out Brett Farve. The team has been pretty busy this offseason in the attempt to...
Detroit Lions 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
After many of the players came in predicting a 10-win season, the team looked primed to fill those expectations after starting the season 6-2. But man did it get bad after that, the team went on to lose 7 of their final 8 games to finish the season at a disappointing 7-9. While the team doesn’t seem far from a 10 win season, they are going to need to mix things up, and did just that when they got rid of pass happy offensive coordinator Mike Martz. The team wants to control the clock a little...
Chicago Bears 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
The Chicago Bears are coming off one of the more disappointing seasons in a long time. The 7-9 record might not look that bad, but coming into the season after reaching the Super Bowl the year before the expectations were sky in Chicago. The Bears just couldn’t get it going and wound up tied with the Lions for last place in the NFC North. The bright side is the team ended with two straight victories and the season is over and they now have the offseason and draft to bring the team back to an...
Green Bay Packers 2008 NFL Draft Needs
April 14, 2008
The Packers are coming off an impressive season where they made it all the way to the NFC title game before finally losing to the New York Giants. In a season where the expectations weren’t very high, Brett Farve led the team to a 13-3 regular season finish, and had fans dreaming of another Super Bowl run. Not only were Packer hearts broken when the team came within one game of the Super Bowl, Farve added to it by announcing his retirement. So the team will finally be giving way to Aaron Rodgers...

Zach Johnson 2008 Odds to Win the Masters
April 9, 2008
The defending Masters champion has the honors of passing on the green jacket that comes along with winning the Master, but last years winner Zach Johnson is hoping that he can wait another year for that, as he can avoid that honor for the time being if he is able to defend his title. While you might think that this task is nothing to special, it has only been done 3 times since the Masters got underway. The most recent was Tiger Woods who won the Masters in 2001 and 2002. So Johnson has the chance...

April 9, 2008
