Case of the Mondays: New Quarterback in New York, No Defense in Chicago
by Ricky Dimon - 10/27/2014

Defense was the problem in Week 8 of the NFL schedule for Chicago and Indianapolis. Offense was the issue for the New York Jets, who benched Geno Smith after the second-year quarterback threw three interceptions in eight pass attempts. Speaking of picks, Ole Miss tossed a costly one when it could have attempted a potential game-tying field goal against LSU. Chalk up another one gone from the ranks of the undefeated.

We’re more than halfway through the college football season, and the NFL is nearing its midpoint. The pretenders are starting to be sorted out as we find out which teams are going to be there until the end.

A. Alex Morgan. The most recognizable player on the U.S. women’s national team sustained an ankle injury last Friday night and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks, putting her out for the remainder of 2016 World Cup qualifying. We need her back on the field as soon as possible—for obvious reasons.

Doc’s Sports: The biggest game on this Saturday’s college schedule sends Ole Miss on the road as a 3.5-point favorite, at most sportsbooks, against LSU. Is this a potential trap game for the No. 3 team in the nation or do the Rebels survive yet another stern test in the SEC?

Case of the Mondays: NFC South, Where Byes Vault you Up the Standings
by Ricky Dimon - 10/20/2014

Some teams suffered heartbreakers on the gridiron over the weekend. Among them were the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and New Orleans Saints. Others just got plain blown out, like the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers. Yes, the lowly Tampa Bay Bucs gained ground in their division on three of the aforementioned squads simply by not playing. Meanwhile, two teams on opposite ends of the country and in different sports are dealing with a plethora of injury problems.

A. A-Rod. “What is A-Rod doing in the news in October” would be a fair question to ask. And when he is, it generally pertains to the following season—just as it does now. The Yankees’ veteran will return from his one-year suspension in 2015, and the team is toying with the idea of playing him at first base.

It was another amazing weekend in college football, and there were some surprises in the NFL as well. Teams in the AP Top 25 went 6-14 against the spread last week, and most of those wins came from games where two ranked teams squared off. Dallas stunned the world with their win in Seattle, and that was the type of win that makes everyone pay attention. We had our first tie in the NFL this year, too, as the Panthers and Bengals played to a 37-37 final.

Doc’s Sports: Dallas is without a doubt one of the hottest teams in the NFL heading into Week 7 with a five-game winning streak. In the past you had mentioned that sometimes the betting public in Las Vegas has a tendency to go against the Cowboys, so where did all the money end up last Sunday after their stunning upset in Seattle?

Case of the Mondays: Giant Disaster on Sunday Night Football
by Ricky Dimon - 10/13/2014

Sunday Night Football could not have gone any worse for the New York Giants. They did not score a single point against Philadelphia in a blowout loss. Adding insult to injury, or vise versa, wide receiver Victor Cruz went down with a torn patellar tendon. There were also hard times on the hardwood, the diamond, and even on the NASCAR track during what was a wild weekend in sports.

A. Alabama. A.J. McCarron knows what he is doing (he’s married to Katherine Webb, after all), which means he probably knows what he is talking about. So when he says Alabama doesn’t have leaders, then Alabama doesn’t have leaders. Last week’s result seems to confirm that notion, too, as the Tide were upset by Ole Miss 23-17. ‘Bama is +1000 at GT Bets to win the National Championship; Auburn is a +500 favorite.

by Ricky Dimon - 10/9/2014

The 2014-15 NHL campaign officially began on Wednesday with the first regular-season games. In approximately eight months we’ll be crowing a Stanley Cup Champion. The two most recent cup winners, Chicago and Los Angeles, are expected to be the cream of the crop yet again. Meanwhile, we’re much, much closer to handing out hardware to baseball’s best.

What a wild weekend in college football last weekend! Five of the Top 8 went down, and the Top 25 was turned upside down. It will be hard for Week 7 of the NCAA Football schedule to live up to that high level, but there’s a tremendous card of games again. No one in the NFL is unbeaten after only five weeks, so that tells you how wide open things look to be there.

Doc’s Sports: Oregon, Alabama and Oklahoma all tumbled in the national rankings last week after getting upset, but which of these national powers should be able to climb back into the playoff picture for a national title by the end of the season?

Sometimes all it takes is one particular night or a certain league to turn things around when it comes to wagering on any of the various player prop bets that are released for each week’s games. Trying to find these sweet spots on your own can be a very daunting task, so it is always best to leave the actual prop bet selections to the experts while you just sit back and cash in on the games.

Case of the Mondays: Dark Day for Top College Teams, Darker Day for Detroit
by Ricky Dimon - 10/6/2014

Oregon. Alabama. Oklahoma. Texas A&M. All four teams were in the Top 6 of the AP poll heading into last week’s games. None of the four teams is currently in the Top 6. That’s because all four went down during what was a historically wild week of action on the college gridiron. Speaking of wild, the wild-card Royals swept the Angels and are joined in the ALCS by the Orioles—who contributed to a wretched Sunday of sports in Detroit.
