Speed Figures: A Horserace-Betting Guide To Using Them Correctly

If you’re new to speed figures, here are the basics. In laymen’s terms, it’s a rating system for the performance of thoroughbred racehorses to measure one racehorse against another by how fast it runs. Every horse is assigned a speed figure for every race. Each speed figure reflects the time of the race and the speed of track that the race was run on.

Unfortunately, those who are new to horserace betting often make the mistake of looking at speed figures to figure out how to bet on horse racing and, more specifically, which horse to pick. That’s one of the worst moves you can make.

Instead, speed figures should be used in tandem with other racing practices. We’ve put together a few tips to help you make the most of speed figures.

Know the race inside and out
Don’t look at just speed figures and take them at face value. Speed figure should be taken with a grain of salt. Successful horserace bettors will also look at patterns in horse behavior at the starting gate and the jockey’s strategy when it comes to how he handles bends and maneuvers the whip.

Know the track
That includes the surface and the length. A lot of horses don’t travel from track to track well, and it takes them a bit of time to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings. So how do speed figures factor into this? Well, if the horse hasn’t seen this track recently, then the speed figure might not be worth relying on for your next bet.

Find trends
A horse peaks over time and ages along the way. They could be all set to give off their best performance at special events with less impressive performances at smaller ones. To figure out whether the speed figure you’re look at is an indication of impending success, study them over time and look for trends to see where and under what circumstances that horse succeeded.

Look beyond the stats
When it comes to low speed figures, there could be more to the story. Dig deep and see if the horse was sick, had an off day, or if there was something else going on before deciding not to lay down cash because of a low speed figure.

Know the local conditions
Make sure you account for track conditions when examining any and all speed figures. A wet, soggy track puts heavy horses at a disadvantage, so make sure you find out exactly how the track surface affected a race before taking speed figures at face value.

NBA Basketball Betting: Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Date/Time: Tue, Nov 20 / 07:10:00 PM ET, Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA

The NBA Atlantic division takes the spotlight tonight in a courtside battle that has all the ingredients for a perfect betting opportunity for NBA bettors.

The 3-7 Toronto Raptors have won two of their last three, including a 97-86 victory against the Magic on Sunday. And they’ve held their opponents to a 79-point average in those two victories—including a 74-72 win over the Pacers.

Tonight, Toronto will face the Philadelphia 76ers, a franchise that seems to keep churning out win after win after win. They’ve won five of their last six, but bettors looking shouldn’t count on a high scoring game. Philadelphia favors solid defense over getting points on the board. So far this NBA season, they’ve averaged just 88.9 points per game.

Toronto will need to up their defensive game against Philly. The team dropped from a 14^th ranked defensive rating in 2011-12 to 23^rd this year. Andrea Bargnani’s shot continues to be a bit off, and his start this season has been anything but stellar. Some online sportsbook members might classify it as brutal. In fact, he’s only shooting 35.8 percent from the field.

But against Orlando, he did have one of his better outings, so hopefully some of that past, um, magic will rub off on him. In the last game against Philly earlier this season, Bargnani managed an impressive 23 points.

In their last head-to-head, Philly trailed early on but eventually spun the ball in the other direction and took full control, besting the Raptors at the Air Canada Centre 93-83.

Bettors thinking of taking Toronto as they look at tonight’s odds should note that Philly had claimed five of the last six NBA matchups. And Toronto hasn’t exactly hammered out wins on the road so far this season, winning just one of five games while averaging 91.0 points. That’s 10.2 points below what they net at home.

NBA Betting Preview: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Date/Time: Wed, Nov 14 / 8:11:00 PM ET, Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, OK

It’s the roar of the Grizzlies vs. the roar of the Thunder as two of this season’s most solid performers face off against each other tonight in a courtside battle that promises to offer tons of history-making moments for NBA fans.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is sitting pretty with a 5-game winning streak. But tonight, they’ll have to face the equally ferocious Memphis Grizzlies, an NBA squad that’s off to its best start in the history of the franchise.

The 5-1 Grizzlies are looking for their sixth straight win. They’ll hit the floor with a heavy heart, just one day after finding out that assistant general manager Kenny Williamson has succumbed to cancer.

Sportsbook enthusiasts had predicted that the Memphis Grizzlies toughest test of the season would be their match against the defending NBA champions Miami Heat on Sunday. But Memphis managed a stellar 104-86 victory, scoring 41 points—a season high.

Oklahoma was equally impressive over the weekend, with Russell Westbrook sinking a half-court shot—just one of his 27 points. Kevin Durant added 26 more, pushing OKC to a 106-91 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But online sports aficionados interested in dropping money on this game should pay attention to the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing their ninth game of the month—and fifth in a week. That could lead to some tired performances on the floor.

And some fans might argue that the nonstop action on the court was starting to take its toll on OKC on Monday night as the Thunder trailed Detroit by 11 toward the end of the game. But OKC made noise when it counted most, edging out a 92-90 win.

Last season, OKC won the first three matchups against the Grizzlies before dropping a fourth game on April 2^nd. Kevin Durant averaged 28.8 points over his last 21 matchups against the Grizzlies, which includes a 7-game Western Conference semifinal series in ’11.

Game Odds:
Memphis Grizzlies: +5.5-110, ML -110
Oklahoma City Thunder: -5.5-110, ML -110
Game Total: 194, o/u:-110

Wednesday Night NCAA Football Preview: Toledo Rockets (8-2) at Northern Illinois Huskies (9-1)

Date/Time: Wed, Nov 14 / 09:05:00 PM ET, Huskie Stadium, DeKalb, Illinois

The Toledo Rockets (8-2, 5-1 MAC) travel to DeKalb on Wednesday to face the Northern Illinois Huskies (9-1, 6-0 MAC) in a game with Top 25 implications and MAC West Title on the line.

The Huskies, whose only reverse came in the season opener vs. Iowa, are 9-1 and will look for their 10th straight win when they welcome the Rockets at their home stadium. The two squads will meet in a rematch of last year’s game at the Glass Bowl, which the Huskies won by a 3-point margin (63-60) after quarterback Chandler Harnish’s completed his sixth touchdown pass of the game with only a few seconds left in the clock. The victory over Toledo catapulted the Huskies to win the Mid-American Conference West title and gave them the chance to play the Ohio Bobcats in the 2011 MAC championship game in Detroit.

Thanks to last week’s 63-0 win over the UMass Minutemen, the Huskies increased their winning streak at Huskie Stadium to 20 victories, the longest home record in the NCAA Football.  So far this season, Northern Illinois has won five games at Huskie Stadium. In Fact, NIU hasn’t lost a game in DeKalb since September 26, 2009, when the Huskies suffered a 34-31 loss to Idaho. Additionally, the team has won a total of 15 MAC games at its home stadium, with the last reverse dating to Nov. 12, 2008 (33-30 overtime loss to Central Michigan).

For Toledo, a victory at Northern Illinois would revive its chances to contend for the MAC's West Division title.  The 8-2 Rockets are coming off a painful 34-27 loss to Ball State.  Until last week, the Rockets were ranked 23 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time since 2001, but the unexpected loss to the Cardinals left Toledo out of the AP Poll and distanced the team from first-place Northern Illinois in the MAC's West Division. Toledo's only previous loss this season came in its season opener when the Rockets loss 24-17 in overtime against the Arizona wildcats.

Game Odds:
Toledo Rockets: +10.5-110, ML +310
Northern Illinois Huskies: -10.5-110, ML -380
Game Total: 63, o/u:-110

The Rockets lead the series versus Northern Illinois, 29-9, but have lost two of the last three games against the Huskies. Toledo has also won 11 out of 18 games played at Huskie Stadium and is 19-3 in their last 22 matches against MAC opponents.

NBA Betting Preview: Oklahoma Thunder (5-2) vs. Detroit Pistons (0-7)

Date/Time: Mon, Nov 12 / 07:40:00 PM ET, Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, Michigan

There’s not much to say about the Detroit Pistons.  After seven games played this season, the nightmare does not seem to stop for the Bad Boys. The Pistons, who are one loss away from setting a new team record for the worst start in franchise history, are 0-7 for only the third time in team since relocating to Motor City, doing so in 1962-63 and again in 1980-81.

Despite the difficulties, the winless Pistons have the chance to end their season's skid when they return to the Auburn Hills to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in their first game back home since the season opener vs. Houston.

The game comes just three days after the Thunder handled Detroit its sixth consecutive loss of the season in a105-94 victory on Friday at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Now, the Pistons need something more than a few adjustments if they want to win their first game of the season. They also need to avoid frustration and give increase their shooting percentage. Through seven games, the Pistons were outscored by an average of 11.5 points per game and have been able to reach the 100-point mark only once this season (105-103 loss vs. Sacramento Kings).

But while the Pistons continue struggling, the situation seems to be the opposite for the Thunder. Oklahoma City is riding a four-game winning streak and recorded a 106-91 triumph Sunday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The streak also includes Friday's 105-94 victory over the Pistons, which represented their seventh consecutive win in the series. However, only two of those contests were held in Detroit, with the latest on Oct. 29, 2010.

Game Odds:
Oklahoma City Thunder: -6.5-110, ML -300
Detroit Pistons: +6.5-110, ML +250
Game Total: 195.5, o/u: -110

The Pistons and Thunder met in Oklahoma City on Friday, November 9th, with the Thunder winning 105-94. Although the Pistons lost the match, statistically speaking, Detroit wasn’t that disastrous in the first matchup. Pistons' frontline did a good job, with Andre Drummond scoring 22 points and eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes, and Greg Monroe adding 14 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and three blocks that night.  The weakest point for Detroit was its defense. The Pistons allowed the Thunder to shoot 53.5 percent from the field on Friday and weren’t able to contain forward Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant. Ibaka set a career high with 25 points that night while Durant had 25 points and 13 rebounds.

NCAA Football Week 11: No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies vs. No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide

Date/Time: Sat, Nov 10 / 03:35:00 PM ET, Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 in SEC) skipped a major upset in its national title defense after overcoming a 4^th quarter deficit to defeat the No. 5 LSU Tigers 21-14 in Baton Rouge. Now the Crimson Tide heads home for a three-game homestand to close out the regular season, which is set to start this weekend with the game against 15th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (7-2, 4-2 in SEC).

The game marks just the fifth time these two teams meet and the first since 1988, when Alabama defeated the Texas A&M 30-10. Currently the Crimson tide holds a 3-1 advantage over the Aggies; although Saturday’s game represents A&M's first-ever trip to Tuscaloosa.

Alabama is without any doubt the best team in the NCAA Football. But not all has been easy for the Crimson Tide. Last week, the team showed a vulnerable side for the first time this season. After winning its first eight games by an average of 32.5 points, Alabama was on the verge of losing its first game of the season. The team needed a late touchdown pass from A.J. McCarron to pull out a 21-17 come-from-behind victory at the Tiger Stadium. The game against LSU was definitely the toughest test of the season for the Crimson Tide, but the coming game vs. Texas A&M is likely to be equally difficult for Alabama.

So far this season, the Aggies have surprised its rivals and proved they can compete with the SEC's strongest teams in their first year in the league. Their only two losses of the year came to No.6 Florida Gators and No. 7 LSU by a combined eight points. The team, which is fresh from a 38-13 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, has averaged 559.6 total yards, which is close to break the SEC record of Alabama Crimson Tide helmet534.4 set by Florida in 1995. Additionally, the Aggies rank fifth in the NCAA in total offense and fourth in scoring (44.67), 19th in passing, 10th in rushing, and 4th in scoring offense. The Aggies’ record is also their best after nine games since 2006, and the team has a chance to set a winning record in conference play for second time in six years.

Game Odds:
Texas A&M Aggies: +13.5-110, ML +425
Alabama Crimson Tide: -13.5-110, ML -550
Game Total: 56.5, o/u -110

For the Crimson Tide, who has two national championships and a 45-4 record dating back to 2009, every game is vital. Losing a game means dropping the chance to play the BCS game, and after their last minute win over LSU, Alabama needs to score a victory this Saturday to battle for the SEC West title. If they lose to the Aggies, the Tide would have beat Western Carolina and Auburn to secure an SEC Championship berth.

On the other hand, a victory for the Aggies will consolidate the team among the best squads in the nation. If they win, they will jump into the top ten by the Week 11 and increase their chances to play a Bowl game. While the Aggies have no chances to make it to the 2012 BCS Championship game, the team still has a shot at one of the SEC’s second-tier bowl games such as the Cotton Bowl, Capital One Bowl or Outback Bowl.

NBA Betting Preview: Philadelphia 76ers vs. New Orleans Hornets

Date/Time: Wed, Nov 7 / 08:11:00 PM ET, New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, LA

With a 1-2 record, the Philadelphia 76ers are heading to the Big Easy tonight. But given the Hornets' performance so far this NBA season, surviving the four quarters with a win won't be so easy.

The New Orleans Hornets have a 2-game winning streak propping up their egos. That includes a victory on the road against Chicago on Saturday, and, more impressively, they did it without Anthony Davis, who was sidelined with a concussion.

Aiding them was Robin Lopez, who scored 16 points against Chicago. Standing in for Davis was Ryan Anderson, who impressed with 12 points and 13 rebounds. And lets not forget about Jason Smith, who netted 16 points in less than 16 minutes of court time.

Anthony Davis is expected to return to the floor tonight. But while sports bettors are excited about his return, it's Greivis Vasquez who has NBA followers stoked the most, thanks to his stellar 18 points against the Bulls.

Tonight, they'll all face some competition in the Philadelphia 76ers, especially with Jrue Holiday on the squad. He leads Philly in scoring with 19.3 points per game, 8.7 assists, and an impressive 3-point shooting success rate of 63%

But the 76ers aren't faring so well with center Andrew Bynum still sidelined. He's been absent in every game so far because of a knee problem. With Bynum benched, Philly's offense has struggled significantly. Through a total of three games, Philly has averaged 85.3 points per game, and only three players are scoring in the double digits.

Game Odds:
Philadelphia 76ers: -1-110, ML -120
New Orleans Hornets: +1-110, ML EV
Game Total: 180, o/u-110

Despite playing in Louisiana, the latest odds on NBA for this game show the Sixers as one point favorite to win this game. Now,  bettors should note that the 76ers have won four of their last five match ups against the Hornets since the 2009-10 NBA season. And in New Orleans, the 76ers have won two of the last three matchups.

With that kind of record, do you think Philly will have an easy time in the Big Easy? When you're Sports Betting Online you get 10% cash back on your bet, no matter who wins at SportsBettingOnline.ag

NBA Betting Preview: Orlando Magic vs. Chicago Bulls

Date/Time: Tue, Nov 6 / 08:11:00 PM ET, United Center, Chicago, IL

After the legendary Dwight Howard trade, many predicted the Orlando Magic would finish at the bottom of the Eastern Conference this NBA season.

Today, Orlando remains undefeated, much to the shock of fans all across the country. Their two double-digit victories at home so far includes a 102-89 beating of the Denver Nuggets plus a 115-94 victory that eclipsed the Phoenix Suns.

All eyes turn to Glen Davis tonight, who has clearly become the offensive nexus of the Orlando Magic. They’re aiming to go 3-0 for the fourth time in franchise history. And they have a good shot. Davis has averaged 25.5 point and nine rebounds through two games.

However, tonight might be different because the Magic wont have point guard Jameer Nelson thanks to a hamstring injury. And Heldo Turkoglu is out with a broken left hand.

The Magic will face a Chicago Bulls squad that’s fresh off a bad loss Saturday night. In the matchup against the Hornets, three bench players for the Bulls scored in double figures. But Richard Hamilton and Kirk Hinrich failed to impress with a combined six points.

Sports bettors might want to note that the Bulls shot a horrible 17.6 percent from beyond the arc. And from the field? It wasn’t much better with a 33% success rate.

NBA followers might want to note that the Bulls have won five of their last seven meetings with Orlando, but the Magic took down the only game between the two teams in Chicago last season.

Game Odds:
Orlando Magic: +9-110, ML +400
Chicago Bulls: -9-110, ML -500
Game Total: 187.5, o/u-110

Monday Night Football Betting Preview: Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints

Date/Time: Mon, Nov 5 / 08:11:00 PM ET, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA

New Orleans QB Drew Brees has the weight of an entire team on his shoulders. He’s pretty much become a one-man show for his New Orleans Saints, much to the sadness of sports bettors  and Saints fans. It’s a team that has a defensive line with way too many holes in it, a barely-there running game, and the all-too-fresh bounty scandal to contend with.

Tonight, he’ll face off against Michael Vick and his struggling Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, who have lost three straight games, will enter this game as 3 point underdogs according to the latest Lines for NFL.

So far this season, Vick has turned it over an astonishing 13 times, including eight interceptions and five fumbles. His performance—not to mention Philadelphia’s 3-4 record—has scores of fans calling for Vick’s replacement.

The Eagles started off the season with three wins in their first four games. But then a dismal defense let go of leads in matchups against Pittsburgh and Detroit. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the defense isn’t their only problem. Philadelphia ranks 28^th in the league in scoring, with an average 17.1 measly points per game.

The Saints, on the other hand, don’t have a problem scoring. They’re 6^th in the NFL with a 27.1-point average. Football followers will know that aside from their 34-14 loss last week to the Denver Broncos, the Saints got at least 24 points on the board in every game this season.

And what about their defense? Nothing but horrible. They’re the first team since 1950 to surrender more than 400 yards in seven consecutive games. They’re more than 200 yards worse than the NFL leading San Francisco 49ers, with 271.4. And they’re not even close to the Buffalo Bills, who are ranked 31^st with 424.1.

And without coordinator Gregg Williams—who was banished for his big role in the bounty scandal—their defense has pretty much collapsed. New Orleans also ranks dead last in the NFL in rushing, with 72.6 yards.

Game Odds:
Philadelphia Eagles: +3-115, ML +130
New Orleans Saints: -3-105, ML -150
Game Total: 52, o/u -110

Needless to say, this is a Monday Night Football game worth watching. And one worth betting on. Check out the latest odds on NFL at SportsBettingOnline.ag.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Diego Chargers Betting Preview

Date/Time: Thu, Nov 1 / 08:11:00 PM ET, Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA

Kansas City is on the verge of losing five straight games for the first time since 2009. They did win against the Saints on September 23^rd, but that came in OT.

Kansas City is now hoping Matt Cassel will get things going for them. Regular QB Brady Quinn took a blow to the head in the game against the Raiders, and he’s not yet cleared to play.

Kansas City comes in with 25 turnovers, which is the highest in the league. Their passer rating is the  lowest at 64.4.

The San Diego Chargers haven’t exactly been impressive; but considering who they’re facing, they could find themselves being the superior team.

That’s assuming Robert Meachem doesn’t blow it like he did last week. And if they can up their running game, which was barely average against Cleveland last week.

The Chiefs allow 29.9 points per game. And they’ve lost eight of 10 San Diego matchups. San Diego has lost three straight; even so, they still could prove too much against against the 1-6 Chiefs.

Game Odds:
Kansas City Chiefs: +7.5-110, ML +270
San Diego Chargers: -7.5 -110, ML -330
Game Total: 41, o/u-110

Betting Preview: Lakers vs. 76'ers

Date/Time: Wed, Oct 31 / 10:10:00 PM ET, Rose Garden, Portland, OR

The Lakers got off to a rocky start when they lost to the Dallas Mavericks 99-91 last night. Now they face Portland and it remains to be seen if their star lineup is all that its hyped up to be.

Dwight Howard was clear, stating that "we haven't had an opportunity to really play together as much as we want, but we're going to get it,"

Tonight, as they head to Portland they'll be looking for their first win of the regular NBA season. Portland has won 16 of 20 games against the Lakers at the Rose Garden but are 1-3 against LA in season openers.

The Blazers are counting on LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Wesley Matthews to pull the win, supported by Damian Lillard, who already is said to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. He led the NBA rookies with 16.2 points per game in the preseason, so if he can continue that trend, it’s possible that the Lakers could find themselves in deep water for this game.
Game Odds:
Los Angeles Lakers: -2.5 -110, ML -145
Portland Trail Blazer: +2.5 -110, +125
Game Total: 191, 0/u -110

NBA Betting Preview: Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat

Date/Time: Tue, Oct 30 / 08:10:00 PM ET, Americanairlines Arena, Miami, FL

Cleveland fans everywhere critized LeBron James for joining the Heat in 2010. LeBron couldn’t beat the Celtics in the postseason while with the Cavaliers and the Miami move just added insult to injury.

He's now brought Miami a Championship Title and leads the Heat for this season.

The Miami Heat knocked the Celtics out of the playoffs—for the second year in a row no less—and then went on to win the NBA title against the Thunder.

Tonight the Heat hosts the Celtics and raises the NBA championship banner at the tip off against the Boston Celtics.

A new NBA season begins for both teams. This year's Celtics are being heralded as one of the strongest in recent history. Jared Sillinger, Kris Joseph, and Fab Melo all show potential.

And Kevin Garnett, Brandon Bass, and Jeff Green are giving Boston Celtics fans something to boast about. Pencil in the acquisitions of Courtney Lee, Jason Terry, and Leandro Barbosa and this is one solid lineup.

The Miami Heat returns to the court with a nearly identical roster as last season's. With an NBA championship under their belt, they should be confident in their existing team players.

The only major change made to the Heat’s lineup is the addition of Ray Allen, to the dismay of Boston fans I'm sure.

Game Odds:
Boston Celtics: +6.5 -110, ML +245
Miami Heat: -6.5 -110, -285
Game Total: 186.5, 0/u -110

Needless to say, tonight’s matchup should be absolutely stellar as far as playoff rematches go.
How do you think tonight’s game will play out? Bet on it at Sports Betting Online. You’ll get 10% cash back no matter who wins. The cash is paid out every week on all your bets—win or lose—all NBA betting season long.

Moday Night Football Preview: San Francisco 49ers vs Arizona Cardinals

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 28 / 01:05:00 PM ET, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The San Francisco Giants swept the World Series against Detroit and tonight fans fans have another reason to get excited when the San Francisco 49ers face the Arizona Cardinals for Monday Night Football.

The San Francisco 49ers lead the NFC West with a 5-2 record followed by the Arizona Cardinals in 2^nd place with a 4-3 record.

Arizona faces a tough opponent and needs to step it up to pull the win, the Cardinals are averaging less than 300 yards per game and have been sacked an astonishing 35 times, nine times more than any other team in the NFL.

The 49ers Ray McDonald, Isaac Spopaga, and Justin Smith are a force to be contended with, and will put a huge amount of pressure on Cardinals QB John Skelton. Outside linebackers Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks are also in the mix, along with inside backer NaVarro Bowman and inside linebacker Patrick Willis to make an insane front 7.

If you're betting on this game what can you expect? Well the Cardinals side play some fairly unpredictable football with a history of confusing a lot of quarterbacks on defense. They try a lot of unorthodox things—some with more success than others.

Of course, tonight they face the 2^nd best-ranked running team in the NFL and with Frank Gore coming off his 31^st career 100-yard game, 131 in 16 carries in a 13-6 victory over the Seahawks, San Francisco may be unstoppable.

The Cardinals defense shouldn’t be brushed off however, the combination of Dan Williams, Darnell Dockett, and Calais Campbell can present a serious challenge to the 9'ers. Linebackers Sam Acho and O’Brien Schofield are speedy and inside linebacker Paris Lenin is playing arguably the best football of his career.

You’ve also got Daryl Washington who is on the path to becoming an NFL legend. The Cardinals are 4^th in the league against the pass and they’re 20^th against the run in the league.

Game Odds:
San Francisco 49ers: -7-110, ML -320
Arizona Cardinals: +7, ML +260
Game Total: 38, o/u-110

This should be one betting match worth betting on.

Week 8 NFL Betting Sunday: New Orleans Saints At Denver Broncos

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 28th / 08:10:00 PM ET, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, CO

Two NFL teams. Both headline-makers. Both for different reasons. So let's get ready for some NFL Action; this time, we bring you a betting preview on New Orleans Saints vs. Denver Broncos.

Denver has made headlines by going after and successfully signing Peyton Manning, much to the satisfaction of Broncos fans and also making every NFL bet way more interesting.

The Saints are still reeling from their bounty scandal that rocked the league last year. And with a dismal record so far, hopes that the Saints will get to play in the Super Bowl, which happens to be on their home turf in New Orleans this year, are quickly fading in the rear-view mirror.

The Denver Broncos, with a 3-3 record, have Peyton Manning at the helm. He’s on track for a 4,800-yard season. In his last game, he made history as the first QB in the NFL to throw for 300 yards, three TDs, and complete 70% of his passes—in three consecutive games.

New Orleans, with a 2-4 record, leads the NFL in passing yards but is dead last in rushing. However, NFL football enthusiast should note that the Saints have the last-ranked defense, and they’ve given up more yards—2,793 of them—than any other NFL team over the first 6 games of the regular season since 1950.

Their entire season has been overshadowed by the bounty scandal that rocked the league last year. And their performance this year is proof of that. Games have been decided by an average score of 30-29, their offense is pretty pass-happy, and their defense is nothing to get excited about.

The Broncos have the NFL’s 4^th best passing game, and Manning plays a big part of that (the fact that Denver has had to play a lot of come-from-behind-and-crush-it football pretty much every game this season also plays a big part).

Many NFL betting fans will remember that they crushed San Diego 35-24 two weeks ago after trailing 24-0.

Game Odds:
New Orleans Saints: +6-110, ML +230
Denver Broncos: -6-110, ML -270
Game Total: 55.5, o/u: -110

NFL Thursday Night Football Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Date/Time: Thu, Oct 25th / 08:10:00 PM ET, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Minnesota Vikings tonight in a Thursday night matchup that promises to be a solid candidate for NFL Football bettors, no matter who they back.

Sports bettors might want to note that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-0 against the spreads as an on-the-road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points over the last 2+ years. And the under has gone 4-1 in the same situation.

Tampa Bay has won five straight in the series against the Vikings. So, people interested in getting in on solid Odds on NFL might also want to note that Tampa Bay has also lost 9 straight road contests by an average of over 18.2 points per game. Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has thrown for 748 yards and six TDs with a single interception over the last two weeks.

However, there is hope for Tampa Bay burying that record, thanks to its solid defense. Theirs ranks third in the NFL, and they’ve allowed just 76 rushing yards per game. Rookie Doug Martin enters tonight’s matchup with 553 total yards of offense.

The Vikings have a 5-6 record in Thursday night games, and tonight they’re hoping to win their 5^th game in 6 weeks. In their last matchup, they beat the Cardinals 21-14, in spite of the fact that they were outgained by 147 yards.

With a 5-2 record and just half-a-game back of the first place NFC North leading Chicago Bears, fans might feel confident dropping money on Minnesota tonight. However, despite their solid record, QB Christian Ponder threw for a season-low 58 yards last week, causing online sportsbook members to question whether the Vikings can go the distance this week.

That said, the Vikings have a solid offensive line, with wide receiver Percy Harvin ranking 2^nd in the league with 53 impressive receptions. And running back Adrian Peterson has 29 100-yard games.

Game Odds:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +5-110, ML +200
Minnesota Vikings: -5-110, ML -240
Game Total: 43, o/u: -110

Overall, the Vikings are 18-8 in the series when playing at home. But those who bet on football might want to remember that the Vikings haven’t won in the series since 2001.

NFL Week 8 Betting Preview: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Date/Time: Sun, October 28 / 1:10:00 PM ET, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA

Two birds. Two very different stories. Welcome to NFL Week 8.

The Atlanta Falcons head into week 8 of the NFL season looking to remain undefeated as they visit the city of brotherly love to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

But the Eagles haven’t spread much love the last four times they met. The two squared off once each season over the last four, and the Eagles won three of those matches.

The Falcons head to Philadelphia with the 6^th best offense and 7^th best defense in the league this season. Both teams are coming off the bye. The Falcons have a perfect 6-0 record and the Eagles have an evenly split 3-3 record. The Falcons, though sports bettors will agree that they’ll want to crush the Eagles, can afford a more conservative style of play this week.

Matt Ryan is proving to be one of the NFL’s true elites, but sports bettors shouldn’t overlook Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, and Julio Jones for their unrivalled assistance.

Sportsbook fans checking out past performances will notice that Atlanta’s passing attack is by far one of the most dangerous in the league. Michael Turner continues to be a powerhouse in the back field.

So do the Eagles have a chance? Well,according to the Odds on NFL, they do. Both teams are coming off the bye, so the Eagles have had ample time to prepare for their matchup against the team that can’t seem to fall.

Philadelphia has been mediocre at best this season. It probably hurts them a little more considering they called themselves the dream team back in 2001. That said, they do have Michael Vick, a major force himself who leads a huge field of talent.

If he can get beyond all that fumbling, he has the power to lead an Eagles line that’s nothing short of legendary. LeSean McCoy is one of the best running backs in the NFL. Plus, with Jeremy Maclin, Desean Jackson, and Brent Celek at tight end, the offense looks like a pretty brutal one to face.

Game Odds:
Atlanta Falcons: +2.5-110, ML +125
Philadelphia Eagles: -2.5-110, ML -145
Game Total: 44.5, o/u-110

How do you think the Falcons vs. Eagles NFL game will play out? Sportsbook betting action is accepted online at SportsBettingOnline.ag. You’ll get 10% cash back, no matter who soars to victory. And the offer is paid weekly on all your bets—win or lose, all NFL betting season long.

NCAA Betting Preview: Arkansas vs. UL – Lafayette

Date/Time: Tuesday, October 23/8:10:00 PM ET, Cajun Field, Lafayette, LA

The 2012 NCAA football has officially reached its midterm, and this Tuesday night, Week 9 kicks off with the Arkansas State Red Wolves facing off against the UL – Lafayette Ragin Cajuns at 8pm ET.

Louisiana started the season with wins in four of their first five games. They then went on to lose on the road to North Texas last Tuesday. Needless to say, the Cajuns are ecstatic to be back on home turf. They’ve got on one of the SBC’s best home field advantages, with eight straight wins under their belt in Lafayette.

Among all the Sun Belt teams, only ULM outscored Louisiana. However, that includes a game against North Texas where they only scored 12 first downs.

College football fans should be impressed with QB Terrance Broadway, who has played way better than Blaine Gautier, the guy he replaced. Plus, he’s coming off 349 yards of total offense and two TDs last week.

He’s also completed more than 60% of his passes this season, for 887 yards with five TDs and two interceptions.

That said, the defense hasn’t been stellar. They’ve allowed more than 422 yards of total offense per game. On the flipside of the pigskin, they’ve got a scoring defense of 25.3, so they rank second in the Sun Belt.

Arkansas’ defense has allowed nearly 29 points per game—and they’ve surrendered 29 points to South Alabama in their last game. For the record, bettors and NCAA football fans might want to note that they’re the second-lowest scoring team in the entire conference.

Game Odds:
Arkansas State Red Wolves: +3.5-110, ML +160
UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns: -3.5-110, ML -180
Game Total: 62, o/u-110

NCAA Football Betting Preview: No.1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers

Date/Time: Sat, Oct 20 / 07:05:00 PM ET, Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee

The Alabama Crimson Tide, the No.1 team in the BCS standings, will continue its quest to the revalidate the BCS title when they visit Southeastern Conference rival Tennessee on Saturday night.

The defending national champion will seek their seventh victory after posting several lopsided wins, including last weekend's 42-10 victory over new SEC member, the Missouri Tigers. In its previews six games, Alabama has outscored its rivals 211-45. The closest margin recorded this season was a 19 point win (33-14) against Ole Miss on September 29^th. On top of that, Alabama is scoring 40.5 points per game and giving up just 7.5 points per game, which puts them in the number one spot in the NCAA.

Meanwhile, the Tennessee Volunteers won their three non-conference games, but lost all three SEC matches, including a 41-31 loss to unbeaten Mississippi State last weekend. The team will close a four-game series against top-25 rivals next week when they visit the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia.

Tennessee has lost 10 of its last 11 conference games and is 0-13 against Top 25 opponents since Coach Derek Dooley took over the team in 2010. In addition, Tennessee allowed a total of 92 points in back-to-back losses to Mississippi State and Georgia and has given up a combined 129 points in its three games against Top 25 rivals this season (43 points per game in SEC competition).

But not everything is bad news for the Volunteers. For the first time in the program’s history, Tennessee has scored 31 or more points in each of its first six games.  Quarterback Tyler Bray has thrown for 1,730 yards and an SEC-leading 17 TDs, but he was limited to a season-low 148 yards in last week's 41-31 loss to Mississippi State. The Vols are expected to be without rusher Rajion Neal, who sustained an ankle injury last week following back-to-back 100-yard games.

Game Odds:
Alabama Crimson Tide: -20-110
Tennessee Volunteers: +20-110
Game Total: 55.5, o/u-110

The college football odds for this game are clear. Oddsmakers are expecting the Crimson Tide to demolish Tennessee. Overall, Alabama leads the series with an official 48–38–7 record. The first game between the two programs took place in 1901 in Birmingham, and end in a 6–6 tie. From 1902 to 1913, Alabama had a clear dominance over Tennessee, losing only one game, and not allowing a single touchdown.

The last time the Volunteers won the famous “Third Saturday in October “was back in 2006 when Tennessee defeated the Crimson Tide 13-16. Since then, Alabama has won five straight in the series, including a 37-6 victory in Tuscaloosa in 2011.

 The Crimson Tide will also look for its third consecutive win in Knoxville. Alabama's win streak in the series is longest since a seven-game run achieved between October, 1986 and October, 1992.

NFL Week 7: Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans Meet this Sunday in Heavyweight AFC Clash

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 21 / 01:05:00 PM ET, Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas

Six games into the 2012 NFL Season, the AFC is stuck in mediocrity. At this point of the season, the American Football Conference is plagued with teams tied at 3-3, including big names such as the New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins.

There are only two teams with records above .500 in the AFC entering Week 7, and they will face each other this Sunday in a potential preview of the 2012 AFC Championship Game. Yes, I’m talking about the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texas, both tied with the best record in the AFC at 5-1.

The Texans are looking to rebound from their first loss of the season when they welcome the Ravens at Reliant Stadium.  After scoring its first 5-0 start in franchise history, Houston succumbed to the Green Bay Packers in a 42-24 loss suffered last Sunday night. Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdown passes (matching the total number that Houston allowed in the first five games) and piled up a total of 427 yards. Prior to that game, the Texans held three of its first five opponents under 300.

Houston will need to make some changes in its starting lineup due to some significant injuries. Linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season with a torn knee ligament and backup defensive end Tim Jamison left Sunday's game with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.

On the other corner, the Baltimore Ravens dispatched the Dallas Cowboys 31-29 last Sunday to improve to 5-1, but lost two of its most important pieces in the process. Cornerback Lardarius Webb and linebacker Ray Lewis are both out with season-ending injuries. Tackle Haloti Ngata (knee) and safety Ed Reed (shoulder) are also sidelined for Sunday’s game vs. Houston. However, linebacker Terrell Suggs returned to practice for the first time since tearing an Achilles tendon in April and is expected to see some action this weekend.  However, the final decision on Suggs' status won't be made until later this weekend.

Game Odds:
Baltimore Ravens: +6.5-110, ML +240
Houston Texans: -6.5-110, ML -280
Game Total:  48.5, o/u:-110

Unlike the last few games between these franchises, Oddmakers favor Houston to win this game. The two squads have met a total of six times since 2002, and so far, Baltimore has never lost to Houston. Ravens and Texans met in last year’s AFC Divisional Playoff Game, which ended with a 20-13 victory for Baltimore. Baltimore also beat Houston 29-14 in the 2011 NFL regular season.

MLB Betting Postseason Preview: New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers Game 4

Date/Time: Thu, Oct 18 / 04:10:00 PM ET, Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan

Just one game. That’s all the New York Yankees need to stay alive. It’s also what’s standing between the Detroit Tigers and a spot in the World Series. Any punter who bets baseball and checks the odds on MLB knows that this game promises to be an edge-of-your-seater.

But the Yankees are after more than just getting on the board. They’ve got their pride on the line as they do everything in their power to avoid being swept. It’s something that hasn’t happened since the 1980 ALCS. That’s 32 years, which also happens to be the same age as the Yankee’s starting pitcher tonight.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (2-0, 1.53 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Max Scherzer (0-0, 0.00)

New York sends CC Sabathia to the mound, who’s got a 15-6 record with a 3.38. Not to mention a renewed focus after being well rested. In three starts against the Tigers this MLB betting season, Sabathia posted an ERA of 3.32 over 21 innings. That included 20 strikeouts, five walks and two HRs allowed.

On Detroit’s turf, Sabathia has a 4.26 ERA in 16 starts. Also working in Sabathia’s favor is Detroit’s ineffectiveness against left-handed pitchers this season.

The Tigers will counter with Max Scherzer, who has a killer record since the break, with 90 1/3 IP, a 2.69 ERA, 110K, and 27BB. While online sports bettors might have been concerned about his shoulder and ankle, the way he took full control in his start against the A’S in the American League Division Series made online sports bettors who bet baseball feel better about backing him.

The Yankees might think that they can easily get on base with Scherzer on the mound based on his performance in his last start. It was April, and Scherzer walked seven Yankees in just shy of 5 innings. But those who follow baseball betting lines should note that Scherzer’s game has been far different lately.

Game Odds:
New York Yankees: -1.5 +145, ML -115
Detroit Tigers: +1.5 -165, ML +105
Game Total: 7, o +105 /u -125

Game 4 of the ALCS gets underway tonight in Detroit at 4pm ET. Bet sports online right now at Sports Betting Online. The lines are live and no matter who edges out, you’ll come out on top with 10% cash back in your pocket. It’s yours—win or lose—and it’s good all MLB betting season long, including during the World Series.

Understanding Horse Racing: What You Need To Know About Exacta Betting

If you’ve ever been to the track—or even to an offtrack betting location or horseracing forum—you’ve probably heard people talk about Exactas. No, this is not a case of a bunch of grammar school dropouts who don’t know how to properly pronounce the word ‘exactly’.

The exacta is a type of horse racing bet that could lead to big gains. Rather than betting on a horse to win, you bet on which two horses will finish first and second in a particular race. The exacta bet is easy to make—if you know what you’re doing. New to horse betting? We’ll walk you through it.

There are three types of exacta bets you should know about:

The straight exacta—You pick the horse that you think will finish first and the horse that you think will finish second in a single race. They must finish in that order for you to win.

The exacta box—You pick the horses that will finish in first or second place. But either horse can finish in either spot for you to win.

The exacta wheel—You pick the horse you think will win plus two or more horses that you think will come in second.

If you’re new to horserace betting, you might be tempted by the exacta box bet. On the surface, it seems amazing. That’s because you can actually put as many horses as you want to in the exacta box.

But here’s the thing. The cost of your bet will actually rise as you add more horses. Inexperienced horse punters make the mistake of betting on more horses, thinking that they’ll make more money. But the truth is the more horses you add to the exacta box, the more likely you’ll be to end up losing money in the end.

Sunday Football Betting Preview: New York Giants vs. San Francisco 49ers

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 14 / 04:10:00 PM ET, Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA

The last time the San Francisco 49ers met the New York Giants, a Super Bowl spot was on the line. It was January 22^nd, and we all know how that played out. New York beat them 20-17 in overtime on the 49ers own turf.

Needless to say, San Francisco will be looking for revenge this Sunday at 4:25pm ET. It should be relatively easy, with Alex Smith and the rest of the 49ers coming off one of the most stellar offensive performances in NFL history (NFL football bettors will remember that they crushed the Bills 45-3 last Sunday).

Bettors should note that the 49ers have outscored their last two opponents 79-3—prior to that Buffalo clobbering, the 49ers beat the pigskin out of the Jets, 34-0.

The 49ers are tied for 3^rd place in the league in terms of scoring, with an average of 29.8 points. And in last week’s Buffalo beat-down, the 49ers became the first team in NFL history with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing in the same game.

But on Sunday, they won’t face a Giants squad who will lay down and take it like Buffalo and the Jets did before them. The Giants rank second in total yards with a 429.2 average and also second in scoring with 30.4 points per game.

Defensively, however, the Giants struggle. To put things in perspective, the New York Giants held Green Bay, New England, Atlanta, and San Fran to 14.0 average during last year’s playoffs. So far this year, the average is 22.2 points, and they’ve allowed 24 plays of 20 yards or more. However, Sportsbook members interested in NFL Football Betting should take note that their defensive record is the 6^th worst in the league.

Game Odds:
New York Giants: +6.5-115, ML +220
San Francisco 49ers: -6.5-105, ML -260
Game Total: 45.5, o/u -110

2012 NHL Lockout Puts Regular Season at Risk

We're in the middle of October, and NHL fans and bettors know it’s time for some hockey.  Unfortunately, that's not going to happen anytime soon.

If you are a fan of NHL Hockey Betting, then you’ll have to start looking for a new pastime.  For the second time in eight years, the NHL is in lockout, and thousands of followers and team supporters in four cities expected to kick off their 2012-2013 season schedules this Thursday night will miss the first week of NHL action.

After weeks of unsuccessful negotiations between NHL officials and the Players Association, the result is trail of cancelled games in both the preseason and the first few weeks of the regular season.

While both sides are sustaining daily meetings to discuss possible ways to progress the talks, the lack of progress is putting the future of the 95th season of play of the National Hockey in peril.

Problems arose on September 15, 2012, right after the expiration of the NHL’s bargaining agreement (CBA). Team owners declared a lockout of the members of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) when a new agreement could not be reached before their deadline.

As a result, the NHL cancelled all September preseason games on September 19, and on September 27th. Just a few days later, the remainder of the preseason schedule through October 8 was cancelled, resulting in approximately $100 million in lost revenue.  The start of the regular season, scheduled for October 11, was postponed on October 4, when the league decided to put on hold a total of 82 games scheduled through October 24th.

Currently, the NHL regular season is scheduled to begin on October 25, 2012 and end on April 13, 2013, with the playoffs to follow between April–June; however, the start of the season depends on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) being negotiated.

League and union negotiators met in two sessions Wednesday to discuss medical, health and safety issues, and will resume meetings Thursday to try to put an end to the monthlong lockout, which according to NHL deputy commissioner, Bill Daly, is costing the league as much as $250 million in revenue.In the meantime, stay tuned for more updates courtesy of Sports Betting Online.

Sunday Football Betting Preview: Oakland Raiders At Atlanta Falcons

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 14 / 01:05:00 PM ET, Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia

We wouldn’t want to be the Oakland Raiders right now. With a 1-3 record, they’ve had the bye week off to prepare for their battle against a team that just won’t seem to topple—the Atlanta Falcons.

They’ll enter Sunday’s matchup in Atlanta with a full two calendar weeks since their last outing against the Broncos when they fell 37-6 on September 30.

Despite the 8-8 record achieved in 2011, players who bet on the Oakland Raiders last season actually won some money, but this year it seems like they’re giving it all back. The Raiders went from having a regular offense in 2011 to having an offense that’s nothing short of embarrassing in 2012.

And the Raiders will have to face an on-fire Matty Ice, the Falcons QB who’s having a legendary season. Matt Ryan is completing 68.3 percent of his passes with 13 TDs, 3 interceptions, and 12 sacks. Players and NFL football Betting aficionados might want to remember that they’ve got Michael Turner, who is averaging 4.4 yards per carry with 3 TDs.

Players looking for some NFL Action pay attention to how stellar Atlanta is. On defense, the Falcons have allowed 18.6 points per game, 203 passing yards, and 142.8 rushing with 13 sacks and 9 interceptions. Compare that to Oakland, who defensively has allowed 31.3 points per game, 128.5 rushing yards, and 283 passing yards, with no interceptions and 3 sacks.

So what does Oakland have going for them? They’re well rested, having just come off the bye. But anyone following this NFL season knows that it takes more than a good night’s sleep to take down the high-soaring Falcons.

Game Odds:
Oakland Raiders: +9-115, ML +290
Atlanta Falcons: -9+105, ML -360
Game Total:  48 o/u -110

The two teams have met 12 times since 1971, and believe it or not, the Raiders own a slight advantage over the Falcons in their previous meetings. Oakland has won 7 and lost 5, including two straight losses recorded in 2008 (0-24 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum) and 2004 (35-10 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum).

Week 5 NFL Betting: Buffalo Bills @ San Francisco 49ers

Date/Time: Sun, Oct 7 / 04:10:00 PM ET, Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA

San Francisco doesn’t cease to amaze NFL fans and bettors. In four weeks of action the 49ers have played like a strong Super Bowl contender, beating the Packers, Lions, Vikings, and last week, the team blew the New York Jets out of the water in a 34-0 stunner, netting their first road shutout since 2002.

Needless to say, online sportsbook members are hoping that San Francisco can match last week’s record that saw them hold New York to 145 total yards, block a punt, recover three fumbles, and rush for a season-high 245 yards.

The Bills are looking for their first game in an NFC stadium since 2008. But if last Sunday’s 52-28 loss to the Patriots is any indication, things don’t look so good, so online NFL bettors might want to bet against them. The Bills committed six turnovers and gave up 580 yards—the second most in franchise history.

Buffalo is best classified as mediocre. They can beat less than stellar teams (Cleveland Kansas City, for example, which they beat) but when it comes to facing tougher competitors, like the Jets and the Pats, for example, they stumble, losing by double digits.

Needless to say, online sportsbook members who bet on odds on NFL games agree that the Bills will need to step up their game against the 49ers, who have won each of their last 7 regular home games both straight up and against the spread.

Game Odds:
Buffalo Bills: +9.5-110, ML +360
San Francisco 49ers: -9.5-110, ML -450
Game Total: 44.5, o/u -110

How do you think the Buffalo Bills will fare against the San Francisco 49ers? Bet on it at SportsBettingOnline.ag. You’ll get 10% cash back, no matter who wins. The cash back is a permanent offer, it’s paid in real dollars, and it’s yours on every bet, every game, every sport.

NFL Betting Preview: Philadelphia Eagles @ Arizona Cardinals

Date/Time: Sun, Sep 23 / 04:10:00 PM ET, University of Phoenix Stadium, Tempe, Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals are on track to establishing a 3-0 record for the first time since 1974. But the Philadelphia Eagles—who are also 2-0—likely won’t make thing easy for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals and Eagles join San Francisco and Atlanta as the only undefeated teams in the NFC after two weeks of action, although, of the undefeated teams left in the NFL, no team has beaten their rivals by slimmer margins than the Philadelphia and Arizona. A win is a win, however, considering that football really is a game of inches, this could be a determining factor after all.

Now, let's take a look to the last game between these squads. In Week 10 of the 2011 NFL season, the Cardinals beat Philly 21-17, so they’ll want to channel a lot of what they did then in an effort to win Week 3. They successfully kept Michael Vick in check. And they limited the Eagles offensive line to just 10 points.

In fact, in three games against the Cardinals, Michael Vick has completed just over half of his passes for 396 yards with zero TDs and four interceptions.

Sports bettors who are looking to drop money on an Arizona win are hoping the Cardinals try to do pretty much the same and that Michael Vick has the same success rate.

But it’s not just about controlling Vick. It’s also about controlling the clock. Sports bettors who bet on odds on NFL will remember that Arizona ate up 31:42 of the clock to defeat Philly, and that was despite being outrushed 166-88. That’s due in large part to the fact that they rushed the ball 5 more times than the Eagles. And they ran 13 more total plays.

The Cardinals have also done a stellar job of getting off the field on the third down and holding their opponents to field-goal attempts in both Week 1 and Week 2.

It’s unlikely that Arizona’s QB John Skelton will play Sunday. He’s still dealing with a sprained ankle, so Kevin Kolb will likely start against the team that originally drafted him.

Game Odds:
Philadelphia Eagles: -3 -120, ML -180
Arizona Cardinals: +3EV +160, ML +160
Game Total: 42, o/u -110

The NFL odds for Sunday’s Cardinals/Eagles matchup are now live at Sports Betting Online. When you bet on it, you’ll get 10% cash back, no matter who wins. It’s yours for every game, every week—win or lose.

MLB Thursday Night Betting Preview: Toronto Blue Jays (66-81) vs. New York Yankees (85-63)

Date/Time: Thu, September 20 / 07:05:00 PM ET, Yankee Stadium, New York, New York

After sweeping a double header vs. the Blue Jays held on Wednesday at the Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Bombers will try to maintain their leadership in the AL East and score a three-game sweep over Toronto.

Due an unexpected rain delay in the series opener, the Yankees entered Wednesday's doubleheader tied with the Baltimore Orioles for the top spot in the division.

The Orioles won their game vs. the Seattle Mariners, but the Yankees answered with a solid doubleheader victory vs. the Blue Jays to retake a half-game edge over Baltimore. A third straight victory against Toronto will give the Yankees the chance to stretch their advantage to a full game. A loss will send the team back into a tie as Baltimore is idle.

Japanese outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was the star for the Yankees on Wednesday doubleheader, going a combined 7-for-8 in the two games. Suzuki’s aggressive game was essential in the 4-2 victory achieved in the first game, with three hits and two runs scored. Suzuki added another four hits in the nightcap, including a RBI single in the eighth inning that sealed a 2-1 win.

Detroit Lions At San Francisco 49ers NFL Game Preview

Date/Time: Sun, September 16 / 08:30:00 PM ET, Monster Park, San Francisco, California

There’s a lot of hype for the Week 2 Sunday matchup between the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers—and sports bettors are flocking to online sportsbooks to get their  picks in.

Both teams—both undefeated—are coming off playoff seasons and looking to stake their claim as the most solid NFL team worth betting on in the 2012 regular NFL betting season.

But the infamous handshake-gone-wrong of 2011 still hangs over the heads of both teams. Online sportsbook fans might remember that San Fran coach Jim Harbaugh gave an overzealous handshake and pat on the back to Detroit coach Jim Schwartz after the 49ers ended the Lions unbeaten record in Week 6. And it got so bad that the two coaches had to be separated the next time they met on October 16 when San Fran beat Detroit 25-19.

The coaches say that’s all in the past, and 2012 is a new season, but past performances and stats still matter to sports fans looking at NFL point spreads.

Detroit has an 11-game losing streak on San Fran’s home turf working against them, and they’ll be looking to break it this weekend.

But San Francisco will face an extremely powerful offensive team against Detroit. They’ll need to knock off Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford and the rest of the Lions to make it through to the end of the 4^th with a lead.

Cornerback Chris Houston missed the opener with an injured left ankle, but he might return to the Lions’ secondary on Sunday.  Safety Louis Delmas and cornerback Bill Bentley are still out with injuries.

Game Odds:
Detroit Lions: +6.5-110, ML +260
San Francisco 49ers: -6.5-110, ML -320
Game Total: 46.5, o/u-110

Players and sports gamblers betting on this game must pay attention to one detail. The 49ers will look to capitalize on the weakened Detroit secondary as they ramp up toward a potential 9^th straight win against the Lions.

The game kicks off at 8:20pm ET. If you like Sports Betting Online you’ll get a 10% cash back—every week—no matter who you bet on.

They were invited to the Outback Bowl where they defeated Georgia 33–30 in three overtimes.

Game Odds:
Notre Dame: +5½-110, ML +180
Michigan State: -5½-110, ML -220

Should The Browns Even Bother? A Week 1 NFL Betting Preview Of Philly Vs. Cleveland

Date/Time: Sun, September 9 / 01:05:00 PM ET, Cleveland Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

The NFL betting lines for this Sunday’s afternoon matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns are now up at Sports Betting Online, and if you haven’t been paying attention to either team, it’s fairly clear that the Eagles have been written off as non-contenders.

It’s no wonder why, either. In preseason play, the Eagles pounded Cleveland 27-10. On Sunday, the Browns will try their best to not get mauled by Michael Vick and company in their season kickoff game during Week 1 of betting action.

The Browns are looking to Brandon Weedon and Trent Richardson to lead the Cleveland’s new offense and hopefully rally an upset against Philly on Sunday, proving Eagles fans wrong and making those who took Cleveland in the latest NFL point spreads very happy.

But with Richardson out with an injury all preseason long, it’ll be up to Weedon to navigate them to a win.

That won’t be easy—and not just because of Michael Vick. NFL betting lines followers might want to note that Philadelphia has LeSean McCoy on their roster. He led the NFL last year in rushing TDs with 17, and ran for 1,309 impressive yards for a 4^th place league finish in 2011.

Needless to say, it’ll be interesting for players who follow NFL Game Odds to see how the beat up Browns defense reacts to the Philadelphia juggernaut.

Game Odds:
Philadelphia Eagles: -9.5 -110, ML -470
Cleveland Browns: +9.5 -110, ML +385
Game Total: 43, o/u -110
