Florida at Tennessee: 1-31-10

Today the Gators of Florida head to Tennessee to take on the Volunteers in a SEC clash on the hardwood.  This game opened up at Tennessee laying 8.  Tennessee is ranked fourteenth in the Nation and hold a 15-4 record while the Gators are not ranked and have a record of 15-5.

This line seems a bit high.  Vegas is telling us that the Vols are going to roll.  It is hard to explain, it is just a gift that we have here when giving out selections for free to you guys.  To validate our thinking, about 86% of the general betting public is all over the Gators, the underdog.  Don’t think too hard or ask us too many questions.  Just trust in us as we are here to help provide you with free winners and build up your bankroll.

Free Pick:  Tennessee -8

Phoenix Suns at Houston Rockets: 1-31-10

Tonight the Phoenix Suns make the trip to Houston to take on the Rockets.    The home team here is laying three points.  Both teams for all intensive purposes have identical records, the Suns are 27-21 while the Rockets are 25-21.  The Rockets at home are always a tough out so we like the home team tonight.

Couple that with the fact that the general gambling public is all over the Suns, about 85%, we really like the Rockets in this spot.  Whenever the public really likes an underdog we see that as a red flag.  As you know from reading about our gambling strategies we like to bet against the public.  However, when the public is all over the dog, we like it even that much better.

Free Pick:  Rockets -3

NFC vs AFC 1-31-10

Today is the big day.  The day that we all have been waiting for.  The anticipation has killed us.  No not really, but today is the day of the Pro Bowl.  It is an NFL game and there is a line to bet on. So we have looked at the game and the total sort of jumps out at us.  The total is 57. 

Normally with such a high total we would be inclined to look at the total and say: “Why is it so high, it must be high for a reason and therefore we should take the over”  At least that is how we think.  However, in this game I see a bunch of very good offensive players getting together that have not played in a long time and not together at all.  I don’t think all of that will translate into a high scoring affair.  Go with the under but don’t go crazy.  We have been killing it in college hoops so save your money for those wagers and thank us when it is all said and done.

Free Pick:  NFC/AFC Under 57

Will Tiger make a comeback this year? 1-31-10

So we all know the Tiger Woods drama by now.  Let’s just say that he was a bit less than the ideal husband and father to his family.  What’s next?  Have we all forgotten that he is the greatest golfer ever to walk the face of the planet, quite possibly the greatest athlete to ever play any sport (of course that is only is you count golf as a sport). 

Will Tiger make a comeback this year and play in a major tournament?  I say yes.  He needs to realize that the sooner he comes public the quicker his healing process will begin.  It is great that he is at a sex clinic right now and that he is doing whatever he needs to do behind closed doors, however, he needs to get his face back out in the public so that this entire situation can run it’s course.

Now of course it will never go away.  But, like anything else, it will get easier with time.  My best advice to Tiger is to come out and openly tell everyone what he did, get a divorce ( I only say this because I believe that because of the nature of what he did he cannot salvage his marriage) and start playing golf again.  If he divorces his wife then there are no more trust issues to answer to, or worse, this whole thing will not happen again.  If Tiger is just a single guy leading the single life, well, that is a story but not nearly as good of the one he just gave us. 

The fact of the matter is that Tiger Woods is a great golfer and we want to see him out there crushing drives out of the tte box as soon as possible.  The quicker he steps back on to the course the faster he can at least attempt to put this entire episode behind him and move on to the next chapter in his life.  Will Tiger make a comeback this year?  Yes, or at least he should and the people surrounding him should be pushing for this.  Once he is out on the course where he belongs all other elements of his life might suddenly seem clearer.  The fans might be ruthless and relentless at first, but that is our rights as fans.  He will need to take a lot of verbal abuse and tough questioning but in the end Tiger will come out just fine on the other side.

Kurt Warner: Put him in! 1-30-10

Kurt Warner thanked God, hugged his children and wife and said goodbye to an NFL career that truly was a fairytale for the young football player out there in America.   Little girls have Cinderella and Snow White, little football players have Kurt Warner.

The 38-year-old quarterback announced his retirement Friday after a dozen years in a league that at first would not give him a chance to play and then ultimately embraced him as he came from nowhere to lead the lowly St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls.

Then, as if going from stocking groceries to winning NFL MVP awards wasn’t improbable enough, Warner was written off as a has-been.  He went to the New York Giants and was viewed as a player that could no longer get teh job done.   Yet he emerged from the dead one more time to lead the long-suffering Arizona Cardinals to an improbable visit to the Super Bowl.

A man of deep faith who carried a Bible to each post-game news conference, Warner walked away with a year left on a two-year, $23 million contract, knowing he still had the skills to play at the highest level.  Money was not the most important thing to him.  He did what his heart, family and body were telling him to do. 

Unlike Brett Favre, we know this is it for Kurt.  He has made a decision that we know he will stick with.  Now the only thing left is whether or not Kurt Warner is a Hall of  Famer.

The only strikes against him are the facts that he got off to a late start, not playing his first game until he was 28 in the NFL.  All of his statistics and accomplishments are equal or beyond others who have made the Hall of Fame at the coveted quarterback position.  My vote is YES.  Kurt Warner is absolutely a Hall of Famer and a living reminder to our children that anything is possible if you put your mind and heart into it.

New York Knicks at the Washington Wizards: 1-30-10

It is hard to find value in a game like this, but there is.  The Wizards escaped New Jersey last night with a two point win.  The Wizards have had many games where they have played good teams very competitively throughout the course of the season, they also have a bad habit of playing down to the competition as well.  Tonight the Knicks travel to Washington as a one point underdog and they will be able to catch the Wizards off guard here.

Go with the New York Knicks tonight as they will score an easy victory against the Wizards who just have shown no consistency throughout the course of the entire season. 

Free Pick:  New York Knicks + 1

Kansas at Kansas State: 1-30-10

Tonight at 7:00 EST the Jayhawks of Kansas travel to Kansas State to take on the Wildcats.  This should be a very entertaining rivalry game in the Big 12 this evening.  Kansas comes into the contest ranked second in the nation while Kansas State maintains the eleventh ranking in the country.  This will be a battle.  Kansas seemed to want nothing to do with the number one ranking in the nation as theygave it up quicker than they got it. 

These teams a pretty evenly matched while the home team is playing very well right now on both sides of the ball.  The Wildcats will win an exciting game in front of an amped up home crowd.  Take the money line in this game as well if you hve the ability to do so.

Free Pick:  Kansas State + 3

Cleveland at Indiana: 1-29-10

Tonight the Cavaliers invade Indiana to battle the Pacers.  The Cav’s come into this contest as a 6.5 point favorite tonight.  The Cavaliers are obviously the superior team in the contest but I expect a let down tonight.  The Pacers will be up for the challenge tonight and will be able to contain Lebron, at least somewhat.

The public is all over the Cav’s yet the line has dropped a half of a point, not gone up.  Vegas expects a tight contest tonight and we have identified that based on line movement.

Free Pick:  Pacers + 6.5

Harvard at Columbia: 1-29-10

WE ARE BACK FOR SOME MORE FRIDAY NIGHT ACTION.  FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING US, SUCKS FOR YOU.  WE ARE 5-0 WITH GAMES INVOLVING THE IVY LEAGUE AND HAVE ANOTHER WINNER TONIGHT.

Harvard travels to Columbia as an 8.5 point favorite.  This line is very off tonight as Columbia has a great chance at the outright win tonight in front of the home crowd.  They will cover the spread with ease.  Only listen to us though.  If you ask anyone else they will tell you that Harvard will roll tonight.  They will be wrong.  The general betting public is all over Harvard, at least 90%.  We love this spot for Columbia tonight.  Take the game with confidence.

Free Pick: Columbia + 8.5

2010 Pro Bowl Blunder: 1-29-10

Do you really care about the Pro Bowl?  I already know the answer for it is a rhetorical question.  Nobody cares.  The only two reasons anyone even pays a little bit of attention to it is because it is one more game to bet on and it usually extends the NFL season for one more week.

This year the NFL really screwed up by trying to make a change for the better that really blew up in their face.  The Pro Bowl is this weekend and interest could not be lower.  This game takes away from the two week build of of the Super Bowl.  Sometimes that anticipation can seem like a bit much but the two teams who made it this far deserve all of the attention in my opinion, not the Pro Bowl.

On top of all this the Superbowl players a being required to attend the Pro Bowl and stay until half-time if they are to collect their bonus stipend.  This is completely idiotic.  Now they have to leave their respective teams for the weekend and focus on other things than preparation for the big game.  Both the Saints and the Colts have several Pro Bowl players and they will be forced to leave for the Pro Bowl.

Lastly, one of the only reasons that the players enjoyed playing in the Pro Bowl was the journey to Hawaii.  Now they put it in Florida.  What is the fun in that.  The players enjoyed the privacy that Hawaii offered and used it as a well deserved vacation after a long season.  They took that away as well.  Hopefully the NFL will reconsider and change things back to the way that they were moving forward.

The Pro Bowl was never a perfect situation as it was.  Players risk injury by playing in this game that could end their career.  It means nothing.  However, at least the Hawaii venue after the Superbowl provided a few bonuses for players and fans.  Again, hopefully they can fix the 2010 Pro Bowl blunder moving forward.
