Searching for Value in Winter Olympics Betting Odds
by T.O. Whenham - 1/21/2010
The closer we get to the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics (well under a month now - opening ceremonies go Feb. 12), the more intrigued I get by the betting opportunities that will be presented by the event. As a hockey fan and a Canadian I am of course on the edge of my seat about the hockey tournament, and hopeful that my boys can avenge their disastrous outing in Torino and reclaim Salt Lake City's gold medal.
NHL Power Rankings
by T.O. Whenham - 1/20/2010
There have been some missteps - like a dull 4-2 loss at Ottawa on Tuesday - but the Blackhawks haven't really done anything to deserve a demotion out of the first spot. They are arguably the best team in the league regardless of some small struggles the last couple of weeks.
Free Sports Picks: College Basketball Wednesday Night
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/20/2010
After a 7-1-2 run in the NFL and a 9-2 mark in college football to put me at 16-3-2 overall in football I will be moving on to college basketball just in time for the heart of conference play. For Wednesday night we have a pair of games featuring ranked opponents in the ACC and the Big East.
NBA Power Rankings
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/20/2010
It is mid-January and that means most of the NBA talk focuses to All-Star controversy about who will compete in the dunk contest, who is “injured” and will have to miss the game, not to mention which players are getting snubbed by the fan voting. But we still have plenty of meaningful games going on and surprisingly tight playoff races.
Free Sports Picks: Thursday NBA Doubleheader on TNT
by Matt Severance - 1/14/2010
The Bulls haven’t played since Monday when they beat sliding Detroit by 33 points and shot 57.1 percent from the field. That was Chicago’s second win in a row, but both came over bad teams at the United Center (the other being Minnesota). Chicago should have the advantage of fresh legs because the Celtics played Wednesday night (their sixth game in nine days), although they didn’t have to exert themselves too much in a 111-87 win over the Nets.
Sports Betting Scams
by Max Powers - 1/11/2010
With the birth of the Internet many sports handicapping services have developed overnight and many of them claim to be well-established and well-respected businesses. Most are just fly-by-night operations and they are in the business to make a quick buck. Experience is one thing most of these companies lack and many of them try to compensate for that by saying them have been gambling for over two decades.
NBA Power Rankings
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/7/2010
With the first NBA power rankings of the new decade not much has changed since 2009. The rich are getting richer in the NBA and the poor are getting poorer. Only in the NBA can an upcoming offseason affect the current season. You will hear the term expiring contract come up more often in the following months than talk of playoffs.
NHL Power Rankings
by T.O. Whenham - 1/7/2010
The Blackhawks have won seven of their last eight games, and they beat up on New Jersey when they got the chance. We knew coming into the season that these guys had a chance to be special, and they are certainly living up to the hype. Key stat - they allow the fewest shots against in the league. With an offense like theirs that's deadly.
2010 BCS Championship Game Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 1/4/2010
Run the ball and play good defense. That is what wins in the violent game known as football. And the team that is most capable of accomplishing those seemingly basic goals will be the team that walks out of Pasadena with the BCS National Championship.
Free Sports Picks: New England at Houston and KC at Denver
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/31/2009
One final week of the NFL regular season and only a few games carry significance in terms of playoff seeding. After last week with the Buccaneers winning outright as 14-point underdogs and my other two-touchdown underdog, Kansas City, covering, I am 5-1-2 in the NFL this regular season. Including my 6-2 record in college football I am 11-3-2 overall in football picks. For Week 17 here are two more free NFL picks.
2010 Orange Bowl Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 12/30/2009
The BCS bowls are always a big deal, but if there is one this year that is an afterthought it is definitely the Orange Bowl. There are some sexy matchups this year, but a showdown between an ACC champion which lost to two of the three best teams it faced and the second best team in the Big Ten that somehow managed to lose to Northwestern isn't exactly the kind of pairing that has people drooling
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 17
by Josh Nagel - 12/30/2009
In the final week of the NFL season, finding games in which both teams are motivated is paramount to finding a good bet. Some gamblers found this out the hard way last week, when the previously unbeaten Indianapolis Colts pulled their starters early in the third quarter and ended up gift-wrapping a 29-15 win to the desperate New York Jets.
2010 Sugar Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 12/29/2009
No. 3 Cincinnati (12-0) and No. 5 Florida (12-1) will lock up at 7:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day to play the 76th Annual Sugar Bowl. The game will be played in the Louisiana Superdome and is one of the five jewels of the BCS Bowl Game crown.
2010 Outback Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Jay Horne - 12/29/2009
The Northwestern Wildcats made some noise in the Big Ten at the end of the season, capturing upsets against previously No. 4 Iowa and also at the time No. 16 Wisconsin to close out the year with three straight victories.
2010 Capital One Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/29/2009
A couple of programs who are no strangers to New Year’s Day meet in a 1 p.m. matchup at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. Penn State at 10-2 is the third place team out of the Big Ten and LSU at 9-3 is the third place team out of the SEC. The game is a matchup of two of the top bowl teams. LSU has enjoyed recent success, winning four straight and all were in blowout fashion. Penn State has all-time success with Joe Paterno, the winningest bowl coach of all time.
2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Jay Horne - 12/29/2009
The Chick-Fil-A Bowl, formerly the Peach Bowl, has long been one of the most prestigious postseason bowl games in college football. For the 18th consecutive meeting, the Georgia Dome will host a battle between ACC and SEC schools. This year’s clash will feature the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies, second in the ACC Coastal, and the Tennessee Volunteers, who finished third in the SEC East.
2009 Sun Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 12/28/2009

2009 Gator Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Matt Severance - 12/28/2009
Based on their record, the Florida State Seminoles (7-5) completely don’t belong in the Gator Bowl, which has third choice of ACC teams behind the Orange and Chick-fil-A Bowls. Is FSU the ACC’s third-best team? Not hardly – the Noles had the sixth-worst overall record in the conference and lost to Miami, Clemson and Boston College, all teams with better records that the Gator Bowl could have chosen.
2010 Papa Johns Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/28/2009
As far as matchups go this is an interesting one. On Jan. 2 at 2 p.m. we have a Big East and SEC matchup in January. It won’t be the cream of the conference crop but instead two very capable teams in Connecticut and South Carolina, a pair of 7-5 teams.
