NBA Power Rankings
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/24/2009
When is having Christmas Day off a bad thing? When you are in the NBA. The association puts their best of the best (or at least tries too) on Christmas Day, while the rest of the NBA gets to sit at home and watch the teams they are trying to chase. About two weeks away from the halfway point in the season, eight of the 10 teams playing have winning records and four have 20-plus wins.
2009 Holiday Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Jay Horne - 12/24/2009
The Nebraska Cornhuskers displayed a valiant effort to upset the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship Game, but Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46 yard field goal as time expired to crush the Cornhuskers and deny them a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. Instead of a trip to Arizona, the Cornhuskers will now meet up with the Arizona Wildcats in the Holiday Bowl in an annual meeting between Big 12 and Pac-10 schools.
Sports Betting Christmas Wish List
by T.O. Whenham - 12/24/2009
Dear Santa, I've been a good boy this year. I was going to come see you in person to tell you that and give you my wish list, but I have this thing about sitting on the laps of grown men. I'll write it all down instead. I don't want much, and nothing on here is unreasonable.
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 16
by Josh Nagel - 12/23/2009
Handicapping NFL games in the last two weeks of the season often comes down to motivation. That is, which teams still have something left to play for, which teams have mailed it in and which others have wrapped up their postseason berths and might be resting for the playoffs
2009 Champs Sports Bowl Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 12/23/2009
The Champs Sports Bowl has been in existence since 1990, but it hasn't exactly had a smooth history - this is the eighth different name that it has had in that time, and it has gone through five different sponsors. Wisconsin brings their cheese into the sunshine, and into Miami's backyard, to play this bowl game in Orlando.
2010 Rose Bowl Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 12/22/2009
Both of these teams are respected programs that are consistently good, so it's hard to believe how long it has been since either has played in the signature bowl of their conferences. Ohio State hasn't been there since 1997 when Joe Germaine led the Buckeyes to a 20-17 win over Jake Plummer, Pat Tillman and the second-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils.
2010 Cotton Bowl Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 12/22/2009
This is one of the classic bowl games, having been played continuously since 1937. It will have a very different look this time around, though - after having been played in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas every year, it is moving over to Arlington and the gargantuan confines of the new Cowboys Stadium this year.
NHL Power Rankings
by T.O. Whenham - 12/22/2009
The deeper we get into the season, the fewer dramatic changes we see in the NHL Power Rankings. Teams still rise and fall, but the more we know about teams the less we get surprised by their strengths and their inconsistencies. That means that you'll see more teams treading water in these power rankings than you have seen in the last few.
2010 Alamo Bowl Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 12/22/2009
The Alamo Bowl has been in existence as long as I have been out of high school - it was first played in 1993 in the Alamodome in San Antonio, and has been played there every year since. Things will be a little unfamiliar his time around, though - this is the first time that the traditional December bowl has been played in January.
2009 Music City Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Matt Severance - 12/22/2009
Are you tired of watching the Dallas Cowboys, who seem to be on national television every week in the NFL? I only ask because you have a football alternative to Sunday night’s Cowboys-Redskins game this week, and that’s the Music City Bowl in Nashville between Kentucky (7-5, 6-6 ATS) and Clemson (8-5, 8-5 ATS).
2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/21/2009
One of the premier non-January bowl games, the Meineke Car Care Bowl is now in its eighth year. The bowl game played in the ACC backyard of Charlotte, North Carolina, features Big East representative Pitt and ACC representative, for the second consecutive year, North Carolina.
2009 Emerald Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 12/21/2009
USC (8-4) will take on Boston College (8-4) in the 2009 Emerald Bowl, held at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 26. The game, which was formerly called the San Francisco Bowl, will take place at AT&T Park, the home of the San Francisco 49ers. The Trojans are currently an 8.0-point favorite and the total for this game rests at 43.5.
Free Sports Picks: NFL Marquee Matchups

Thanks to two road underdog wins on Sunday I was 2-0 in my first edition of free NFL picks and now I am now 5-2 in football this season, including college. For this weekend I have two free picks, first on Saturday night in the Cowboys/Saints primetime showdown and also a pick in the Packers and Steelers FOX national broadcast game at 4:15 p.m. EST.
Free Sports Picks: NBA TNT Doubleheader
by Matt Severance - 12/17/2009
The Magic (19-6, 13-11 ATS) enter on a two-game win streak, which followed a two-game losing streak. Orlando beat visiting Toronto and former Magic star Hedo Turkoglu, 118-99, on Wednesday night thanks in large part to hitting 57 percent of its shots overall and 14-for-30 from three-point range.
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 15
by Josh Nagel - 12/17/2009
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots used to beat the tar out of the perennial AFC East patsies twice a year for the sheer enjoyment of it. If that weren’t enough – and usually, it is – this time around the Patriots have a double-dose of motivation working in their favor against the Buffalo Bills.
2009 Independence Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Jay Horne - 12/17/2009
Last year the Independence Bowl had to settle for a pair of less popular teams from the MAC and Sun Belt Conferences due to a lack of bowl eligible teams from the usual Independence Bowl-affiliated conferences. However, this year the game will return to its roots as it will feature a battle from schools representing the SEC and Big 12 when the Georgia Bulldogs collide with the Texas A&M Aggies in a battle between two of the premier conferences in college football.
College Bowl Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 12/15/2009
Loyalty can be one of a gambler’s worst enemies. That’s why bettors should never – or at least rarely – wager on their favorite teams. They lose objectivity and are sometime blinded by their feelings about their teams.
2009 Las Vegas Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/15/2009
The Las Vegas Bowl lucked out with this pairing, a meeting of No. 14 BYU and No. 18 Oregon State in a game three days before Christmas. It is the first time in the 18-year history of the bowl two ranked teams meet. While College Football bowl games and Las Vegas seem like a perfect match, BYU could not be further from the desired demographic for “Sin City”.
2009 Poinsettia Bowl Odds and Predictions
by Matt Severance - 12/15/2009
Utah and California are a lot alike heading into the Dec. 23 Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. Both schools had hopes for a BCS bowl this year but those dreams went up in smoke pretty early for each team. Utah lost its third game of the season at Oregon, while Cal was in the Top 10 before getting crushed by Oregon and USC in the Bears’ third and fourth games, respectively.
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 14
by Josh Nagel - 12/10/2009
Although both teams have 5-7 records, only one can be considered a real disappointment. That would be the Houston Texans, who are headed down the stretch of another season filled with high expectations but met with disappointing results. Barring a miracle, the Texans will again miss the playoffs and coach Gary Kubiak likely will find himself looking for a job.
