To make things easy, the following is a brief look at this week's top insider betting tips that can help fatten your bankroll even more.

Juveniles Looking to Make their Early Mark

The horse racing world is getting ready for the season's biggest event this weekend with the running of this year's Breeders' Cup at Keeneland Race Course. Starting Friday, Oct. 30, into Saturday, Oct. 31, there will be 13 separate races on the two-day race card with prize purses ranging from $1 million all the way up to $5 million for this year's Classic.

While horse bettors will be watching closely to see what 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah does in Saturday's Classic as a 6/5 favorite on the early morning line odds, I have turned my attention to the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile for an early look at some of the top contenders for next year's Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown Trail.

There is a trio of two-year old thoroughbreds listed as the top favorites win this year's Juvenile, but my top pick would be Nyquist over Brody's Cause and Greenpointcrusader.

Nyquist is trained by Doug O'Neill, and this Kentucky-bred colt has yet to lose in four previous races this summer. He also has two key victories on his resume in a Grade 1 stakes race with a first-place finish in the Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 7 and the FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita Park on Sept. 26.

NHL Favorites are Melting the Ice

Through this past Sunday's games, the favorites have remained red-hot on the NHL betting moneyline with a solid 63 percent return that includes victories in 73 of the first 116 games of the new regular season. Leading the way has been the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic Division with a perfect 9-1 record through its first 10 games.

Despite Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Vancouver as -114 road favorites, if you would have bet $100 on each of the Canadiens' first 10 games on the closing moneyline, you would be up $799 with Montreal favored in nine of those contests. In their only game were they were not favored, the Canadiens came away with a 3-2 victory against Pittsburgh on Oct. 13 after closing as +113 underdogs on the road.

NHL Favorites are Melting the Ice - Part 2

Along with Montreal's early success spearheading the strong start for betting NHL favorites this season are the Washington Capitals at 6-1. They have been favored in six of the seven games, and their only loss was as +102 home underdogs against San Jose in a 5-0 shutout in the second game of the season.

Since then, the Capitals have won their next five games by a combined score of 24-10 for an average of 4.8 goals a game. Washington's next two games will be at home against Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Columbus this Friday night.

Betting on a Close Call

This Thursday night the No. 5 TCU Horned Frogs will put their perfect 7-0 straight up record on the line as 14-point home favorites against the 3-3 West Virginia Mountaineers. The early consensus is heavily favoring TCU to cover at a rate of almost 70 percent, but you might want to consider going the other way in this one.

The Mountaineers are stumbling into this game with three losses in a row both SU and against the spread. However, going back over the past three meetings between these two Big 12 foes, the games have been decided by a grand total of just five points, with the road team winning SU each time. West Virginia has the 2-1 edge ATS, and the total has gone OVER in two of the three games.

Something Has to Give

Both the San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens came into the 2015 NFL regular season with high expectations after posting a winning records last year, but it has been a walking nightmare so far with the Chargers off to a dismal 2-5 start both straight up and against the spread while the Ravens have been even worse at 1-6 SU with a 1-5-1 record ATS.

The two AFC foes will face one another this Sunday in Baltimore, with the Ravens favored by three points. San Diego comes into this game with a 1-12 record ATS in their last 13 games against a conference opponent, and it has failed to cover in its last six games against a team with a SU losing record.

Not to be outdone, the Ravens have failed to cover in their last five home games, and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against a team with a SU losing record.

The edge in this one still goes to Baltimore with the turn of the calendar for Sunday's game. It is 10-1 SU in its last 11 home games in the month of November and 9-4-2 ATS in its last 15 November games overall.
