Big East

Georgetown Play disciplined and hard nose basketball. C Hibbert plays when he wants to. On offense team is missing at least one more scoring threat.

Louisville Talented, getting better every game, plays very good defense. This team s ...  read more

I can't remember a Super Bowl like the upcoming Pats/Giants, in which all the public squares seem to be on the double digit underdog NY Giants, and the wiseguys all on the favorite.

I'm not a big fan of S.D. Charger QB Phillip Rivers, but have to give him props for his performance in the AFC Championship game against the NE Patriots with a torn ACL. It was nice to see the officials let the players play in the SD/NE game and keep their flags in their pockets. However,in the Giants/GB game the officials made some terrible calls for both sides. Have you noticed that during th ...  read more

Totals: Over bettors were happy again as 10 games went Over the total and 6 Under. Technical and trend handicappers can make any side seem like a great bet with their numbers. H ...  read more

When I was growing up in the early seventies, I was s ...  read more

Patriots Are the Pats really this good ? No matter how high the line is, it seems that Belichick makes sure they cover. The total for Miami/NE was 52, which is high for NFL games, and the Pats almost went over the total all on their own. With all of the attention focused on the Pats this early in the season, you can be sure that opposing teams offensive and defensive coordinators are st ...  read more

Yesterday, a buddy of mine named Jumbo, was complaining about the results of his betting weekend, blaming "bad luck." When he included the Houston Texans as one of his losses, I couldn't understand how he had lost that bet-until I found out that in an effort to make his wagers before leaving town for the weekend, he had placed all of his bets on Friday with his local book.

Why anyone woul ...  read more

Charlie Weis Self annoited "genius." If he is truly a genius, he needs to win games, or at least compete in games when his team is an underdog. He didn't run any trick plays or try to ...  read more
