Sports Betting Futures Odds: Two Playoff Spots for Three Teams in AFC
by Ricky Dimon - 12/16/2015

Although the 6-7 contenders (or pretenders?) are still in contention for an AFC wild-card spot, the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds are likely coming down to three teams: the Chiefs, the Steelers, and the Jets. All three are 8-5 heading into the last three weeks of the regular season. It should be a wild stretch of action on the gridiron over the next month as bowl season is soon to heat up in the college ranks.

Case of the Mondays: Bengals, Broncos Lose AFC Control to Patriots
by Ricky Dimon - 12/14/2015

While New England played on the road in Week 14 as Cincinnati and Denver enjoyed the friendly confines of home parks, all of that hardly mattered in the ongoing battle for AFC supremacy. It was the Patriots who took care of business, whereas the Bengals and Broncos went down in the flames of upset losses. And the Bengals lost more than just a game on Sunday.

Sports Betting Futures Odds: Warriors, Panthers Still Enjoying Perfection
by Ricky Dimon - 12/10/2015

The Golden State Warriors have remained without a loss through five games of a current seven-game road trip, improving to 23-0. They have 59 to go for a perfect regular-season record. Obviously that is not going to happen, but perfection could take place in the NFL. Stephen Curry's favorite team, the Carolina Panthers, are still sitting pretty at 12-0.

When it comes to betting on the NBA, home-court advantage can sometimes be a huge factor in helping to level the playing field when a better road team comes to town. Even some of the worse teams in the league tend to put up a much harder fight in front of the hometown crowd.

This Week in Sports Betting, A-Z
by Ricky Dimon - 12/9/2015

A. Aaron Rodgers. The real story here was that Detroit lost as only Detroit can. But the Lions' final-play loss on a Hail Mary (after a face-masking call on what otherwise would have been a game-ending tackle) last Thursday night against Green Bay also had plenty to do with Rodgers. The two-time MVP launched the ball 61 yards-and then some-into the hopeful arms of Richard Rodgers for an improbable touchdown and an impossible 27-23 victory. 5Dimes Sportsbook has the Packers as -7.5 home favorites over Dallas on Sunday.

Doc's Sports: The favorites went crazy in the NFL in Week 13, which had to tip things in the betting public's overall favor, but how much did straight up upsets of Green Bay on Thursday and New England on Sunday equal out some of the sportsbook's losses?

Case of the Mondays: Lions, Falcons Bumbling Out of Contention
by Ricky Dimon - 12/7/2015

Already teetering on the brink of elimination, the Lions basically saw their season come to an end when Green Bay's Richard Rodgers brought down an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary on the last play of last Thursday night's game. Even the Falcons, who are 6-6 and two games ahead of Detroit, are just about finished. They were once 5-0 but dropped their fifth game in a row to NFC South rival Tampa Bay on Sunday afternoon.

by Ricky Dimon - 12/3/2015

A. Alabama. The Crimson Tide took care of business in the Iron Bowl last weekend, beating Auburn to win the SEC West. They also clinched the SEC title and secured a berth in the College Football Playoff. Oh, Alabama still has to play Florida? So, yeah-Nick Saban and company are SEC champions and will be part of the final four. 'Bama is a -18 favorite over the Gators on Saturday, per GT Bets.

by Ricky Dimon - 12/1/2015

The Patriots had been considerable favorites to be the last undefeated team in the NFL, but that distinction now goes to the Panthers. They are 11-0 and appear to have an easy one on their plate this week against New Orleans. Speaking of the NFC South, Jameis Winston is getting better and better as his rookie season progresses, and he has the inside track on NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Case of the Mondays: Giants Continue to Throw Away NFC East
by Ricky Dimon - 11/30/2015

What the South is to the AFC, the East is to the NFC. The difference, however, is that at least three teams in the AFC South were expected to be mediocre at best. In the NFC East, more than a couple of squads had high hopes for a Super Bowl berth. But it's looking more and more like the East division champion will limp into the playoffs at something like 8-8 and be a sitting duck for more formidable wild-card team. Against all odds, that champion could be the Redskins after they extended the Giants' woes on Sunday.

by George Monroy - 11/23/2015

Underdogs win all the time in sports-that is the reason why we watch, play and bet, because anything can happen. The 18-0 New England Patriots lost to the "less-talented" New York Giants; Mike Tyson lost to Buster Douglas; the -2000 favorite Ronda Rousey couldn't last two full rounds with the now-champion Holly Holm; and this past weekend, the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes lost to Big Ten rival Michigan State as a 13.5-point favorite. Underdogs win all the time.
