By now sport bettors and college football enthusiasts have to be aware of the implications surrounding this game for Boise St. They have shot at playing for the BCS Championship if they can run the table and go undefeated. This game against the Hokies of Virginia Tech is by far the toughest game on their schedule and could be the deciding factor as to whether they play in the championship game.

This basically a “pick ‘em” game with Vir Tech currently sitting as a 1 point favorite. (Read full Article Here)

Western Michigan @ Michigan State -24.0….Big revenge situation here for Michigan State as they were totally embarrased last year by the Bronco’s on their home field getting beat 36-14 as a 24.5 home favorite.
Opinion: Even though the revenge looms big, The Bronco’s might be able to hang within the 24 points. However the loss of starting QB might make it too “iffy” for a play.
T-Rating Line: Michigan State -17.53  (Read full Article Here)

CFB: Week #1 / Thurs Sept 2 Game Opinions

Southern Miss at South Carolina -14.0 (47.0)
Southern Miss is 2-11 in road openers and have lost the last 5 by average of 15 ppg. They lose 8 starters on offense including 1000 yard rusher Damion Fletcher.
Since Spurrier has taken over the helm at South Carolina, the Gamecocks have not been known for explosive offense, they average slightly over 20.0 per game the past two seasons and 23.6 in his 5 years. This may change a little as they are returning 9 starters on the offensive side of the ball. They will be without standout TE Weslye Saunders who has been suspended and Spurrier has given no indication about his return date. Gamecocks have won 10 consecutive opening games and Steve Spurrier is 24-1 as a head coach in openers.
Opinion: None…South Carolina will win but averaging only 20 pts per game makes it very iffy to cover a 14 point spread.
T-Rating Line: South Carolina -14.16  (Read full Article Here)

Statistical data, power rankings, offense and defensive rankings..etc. are all but useless in handicapping preseason games. Without statistical data to rely on, most bookmakers have the same problems as the handicapper when trying to set a favorable line on these games. This is why you will find most preseason spreads hovering around a field goal. We have consistently cashed very nicely for our members in preseason selections over the years and expect the same again this season. Following are a few things to watch for when (Read full Article Here)

Despite the efforts of the US government to curtail gambling on the internet, millions of dollars are still being wagered each day on sporting events, poker and online casino’s. Estimates for the amount of money being wagered yearly on sporting events vary greatly but it is a common acceptance by all the estimators that it is in the Billions of dollars. Obviously the internet makes up a big part with its worldwide attraction and availability, but there are also the legal sports books in States like Nevada and some foreign countries that have legalized betting on sporting events.

What makes it difficult to get an accurate estimate is the number of “barber shop bookies” throughout the US and around the world. The illegal bookmakers it is estimated, makes up nearly 50% of all sport betting action annually. What draws the public to the “windows” to place wagers on sporting events….? Of course many are drawn by the thrill of having “something riding” on a game and almost always can watch the outcome on a TV broadcast.

Why do the Vegas Sports Books put a TV next to a game on their board? Because they know that more action will come in on a game that is being televised than ones that are not. This alone may answer the question of how many sport bettors actually end the season or the year with a profit? Playing games just because they are (Read full Article Here)
