Case of the Mondays: Sooners Must Wait Until Later to Beat KU
by Ricky Dimon - 2/15/2016

While the NBA took a hiatus from game action to put on a dunk show for the ages and to set the art of defensive basketball back more than 120 years, the college game plowed full steam ahead-perhaps much to the chagrin of Oklahoma. The Sooners suffered a regular-season sweep at the hands of Big 12 rival Kansas this past weekend, losing a thriller at home after having previously fallen at KU in triple-overtime.

A. Aqib Talib. Under a proposed rule change for the NFL next season, Talib would have been gone from Super Bowl 50 in the second quarter. The Broncos' cornerback incurred a taunting penalty in the first and a personal foul for face-masking early in the second. But he stayed in there and stayed out of controversy the rest of the way as Denver triumphed over Carolina 24-10. The Broncos are +1200 to win Super Bowl LI, per Bovada Sportsbook.

by Ricky Dimon - 2/9/2016

According to the oddsmakers, Super Bowl LI cannot come soon enough for the Carolina Panthers. With Super Bowl 50 having come and gone, it is not premature to start thinking about next season-not when odds are already out. The Panthers may have lost to the Denver Broncos this past Sunday, but they are favored to win it all in 2017.

The 2015 football season officially came to an end with Denver's upset victory against Carolina in Super Bowl 50, but that game marks the relative beginning of an entire year of betting action across any number of sports betting events. One of the tricks to earning a positive return on betting a wide spectrum of different events is to look for a solid inside edge and then pounce on the opportunity.

Case of the Mondays: It was Miller Time-Not the Panthers' Time
by Ricky Dimon - 2/8/2016

Just about everyone in the world had the Carolina Panthers-six-point favorites-beating the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. How did that work out? Not well! Von Miller and the Denver defense befuddled Cam Newton and the Carolina offense for almost all of 60 minutes on Sunday. And "befuddled" may be putting it nicely. The Panthers turned the ball over an insurmountable four times in a surprising 24-10 loss.

A. Angelique Kerber. In of the biggest upsets in the history of Grand Slam finals, Kerber stunned world No. 1 Serena Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 at the Australian Open last weekend. Serena's bid to tie Steffi Graf for second on the all-time major championship list at 22 will have to wait.

Sports Betting Futures Odds: Super Bowl Week is Here
by Ricky Dimon - 2/3/2016

Super Bowl 50 is just days away. We will soon find out if Peyton Manning is going out on top (if he is going out at all?) or if Cam Newton caps off an MVP-caliber season with his first championship. The Panthers are favored by almost a touchdown, in part because Manning appears to be on his last legs while Newton is clearly in the prime of his career. Who will enjoy a better performance on Sunday?

Case of the Mondays: Manziel in the News Even During Super Bowl Week
by Ricky Dimon - 2/1/2016

It may be the offseason for every team other than the Broncos and Panthers, but there is no offseason for Johnny Manziel in terms of his ability to make headlines. Manziel managed to do it again this past weekend. So did Calvin Johnson, albeit in much different fashion. Once the Super Bowl ends, the limelight will mostly be bestowed upon college basketball-and it would be a good time for Duke and LSU to start picking up some big wins.

A. Aldridge, LaMarcus. The Spurs' forward deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts on Monday, saying he needs to "lock in" on the season. Ironically, you know you have a problem when it takes a shutdown of social media in order to "lock in" on your job. You also know you have a problem when you get blown out 120-90 by your main competition for the championship. San Antonio is a +220 second choice at GT Bets to win the Western Conference.

Next Sunday's festivities in San Francisco feature the Panthers and Broncos, two teams with outstanding defenses but whose quarterbacks are the headliners.

Winning sports bets on a consistent basis can be done, but many times it is all about gaining some kind of inside edge that can tip the betting odds in your favor.

by Ricky Dimon - 1/25/2016

An aging quarterback endured an embarrassingly horrific championship game on Sunday…and it wasn't Peyton Manning. Whereas Manning and the Broncos pulled off an upset of visiting New England, Carson Palmer's Cardinals got clobbered at Carolina. The result is a Super Bowl 50 showdown between the the two No. 1 seeds, the Broncos and the Panthers.

by Ricky Dimon - 1/22/2016

To say the NFL Playoffs have not disappointed would be an understatement. We've had a little bit of everything: bizarre finishes, mental meltdowns, a Hail Mary, late-game blunders, an overtime, big comebacks, and much more. Emerging from it all were the top two seeds in each conference, making for what should be another phenomenal weekend on the gridiron.
