2009 WNBA Playoffs Predictions
by Vegas Sports Informer - 9/16/2009
Tonight the 2009 WNBA Playoffs start. I know football season is here and the baseball playoffs are coming, but don’t forget about the women on the hardwood. This Wednesday the ladies take the court and eight teams make their stride for the WNBA trophy. Last year’s champs, the Detroit Shock, had trouble just making the playoffs this year so we could see them exting early.
College Football Weekly Predictions - Week 2
by Alan Matthews - 9/11/2009
OK, it’s Week 2 of college football season, and Week 1 wasn’t exactly a huge success. I didn’t realize that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen has now morphed in Joe Montana, and the Irish bombed Nevada, which seemed a lock getting more than two touchdowns. As for the other loss … well, it sure looked like a win until Memphis (+17) folded in the fourth quarter last Sunday at home against Ole Miss.
NASCAR: 2009 Chevy Rock & Roll 400 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 9/11/2009
Kyle Busch has “One Last Race to Make the Chase” and the make up the 37 points that separates Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 car from the 12th and final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup as NSCS visits “America’s Premier Short-Track” at Richmond International Speedway Saturday night at 7 p.m.
NFL Sunday Predictions – Week 1
by Josh Nagel - 9/10/2009
Patience might be the central theme of this Week 1 contest. One club, the Houston Texans, is running out of it, while the other, the New York Jets, might have to exercise some as a rebuilding team. Although the Texans have improved under the watch of coach Gary Kubiak, he has failed to bring them a playoff berth, let alone a winning season, in his three years at the helm.
College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 9/9/2009
The Ferringo 15 is my Profit-Power Rankings, a ladder or hierarchy based on which teams are the most profitable on the field. I’m not trying to give you some other nonsensical, random, speculative power rankings based on my own biases and conjecture. So instead of Ohio State moving up or down the polls on the basis of how badly they blew out Northwestern the previous Saturday, I’m going to rank each team based on past, present, and projected future achievement against the spread.
College Football Weekly Predictions: Week 1
by Alan Matthews - 9/3/2009
This is the first of a weekly predictions article here on Doc’s (look for it normally on Tuesday or Wednesday), where I will give you a few NCAA football games a week with free picks on sides and/or the totals. I’m also going to try and give you an idea of what way the general public is leaning and why.
College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 9/3/2009
Polls. Our culture is permeated by swarm of focus-group happy vagrants who value style over substance. And in the sports world there is no area where this plague is more rampant than college football. My former sports editor back in New York used to say that college football is nothing more than a glorified beauty pageant.
2009-10 Purdue Boilermakers Football Predictions
by Doc - 9/2/2009
Longtime Coach Joe Tiller has retired and Purdue’s era of explosive offense and strong quarterbacks has ended as well. Danny Hope takes over and the cupboard is bare. There’s NO question Coach Tiller changed the landscape of the Big Ten and made it much more enjoyable conference to watch, but his recruiting lately was questionable and it appears he got out at the right moment.
2009-10 Mountain West Conference Football Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 9/1/2009
The Mountain West, long the thorn in the side of the BCS conferences since forming after a split from the WAC in 1999, continues to maintain the firepower at the top of the conference as some of the major BCS leagues out there. Notably, teams like Utah, TCU and BYU have proven themselves in non-conference games, bowl games and even in conference games, staging some must see TV on Thursday night football.
2009-10 WAC Football Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 9/1/2009
Simply put, the Western Athletic Conference is relevant and has remained relevant because of Boise State. Not including the Mountain West, no other team in college football outside of the BCS conferences and Notre Dame generates any attention at all. Hawaii had their moment in the sun two years ago but that blew up in their face in the George Dome.
2009-10 Pittsburgh Panthers Football Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 8/31/2009
Pitt was named the Big East favorite in the preseason coaches’ poll. Senior Bill Stull was recently named the Panthers starting quarterback. Neither accolade came with a ringing endorsement. In a watered down Big East Pitt was named the favorite with 161 points, just ahead of West Virginia’s 151. It received eight first-place votes, the same amount as Cincinnati.
2009-10 West Virginia Mountaineers Football Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 8/31/2009
For the past four years it was opposing coaches that kept getting asked what they were going to do about Patrick White, the West Virginia quarterback that stirred the drink that was the Mountaineer offense. Now it is Bill Stewart, second year West Virginia coach, who has to answer what he is going to do without White directing the West Virginia attack.
2009-10 New York Jets Predictions
by Justin Johnson - 8/28/2009
The biggest step forward came on the offensive line. Nick Mangold and D’Brickashaw Ferguson both made huge strides in their young careers after both being drafted early in the 2006 NFL Draft. Combining those young up-and-coming stars with veterans Alan Faneca, Brandon Moore, and Damien Woody gave the Jets one of the better offensive lines in the AFC, and gave them hope for 2009-10.
BCS Predictions
by Matt Severance - 8/26/2009
With college football kicking off a week from Thursday, I thought I would save the best college preview for last: predicting who will play in the BCS bowl games. By best I definitely don’t mean best written (that’s up to you), just that it’s obviously every team’s goal to reach one of these five games.
2009-10 Detroit Lions Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/25/2009
There really aren’t enough adjectives to describe the ineptness of the Lions last season as they became the first NFL team ever to finish 0-16. Yet shockingly, Detroit also covered in its final six road games last year. And the Lions probably should have beaten NFC North champ Minnesota not once but twice.
AFC West: Season Win Totals Predictions
by Dave Busk - 8/25/2009
Even though NFL season win totals predictions have been offered here at Doc’s homepage, I am going to break down every team’s season win total division by division, and I have waited two weeks into the preseason to gather some additional information. I will give all my leans, opinions and must bets right here with odds provided by Sportsbook.com.
2009-10 New England Patriots Predictions
by Justin Johnson - 8/24/2009
Despite Tom Brady throwing only 11 passes in 2008 the New England offense was the No. 8 scoring team in the NFL and still in the Top 10 in most statistical categories. After multiple surgeries Brady is back but gone is the Patriots safety net, Matt Cassel. The passing game found themselves in capable hands as Cassel threw for nearly 3,700 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Sports Futures Market Offers Great Return on Investment
by Robert Ferringo - 8/24/2009
Tu Dign has a barren, cookie-cutter office at the local branch of Bank of America. His desk is relatively unimpressive and cluttered with pamphlets and literature on a variety of BOA programs (“Buy Pizza, Save Money!” is the tag line on one). There are no pictures on the wall, save for the knock-off print from The Met that’s framed in glass but still about three sizes too small for the space it struggles to occupy.
NASCAR: Sharpie 500 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 8/21/2009
The fact that Mark Martin will start his 1,000th Sprint Cup Series race under the lights Saturday night at historic Bristol Motor Speedway for the Sharpie 500 won’t keep the “bubble boys”, Brian Vickers, Clint Bowyer, and Kyle Busch, from ruining Martin’s dream season by taking the 12th and final spot in the Chase away from the “Old Man.”
Delaware Sports Betting Information
by T.O. Whenham - 8/20/2009
Barring a legal setback, the state of Delaware will be starting to offer single-wager sports betting on football and baseball games starting at the beginning of September. This is a very important move, and it will be watched closely by other states who would like to offer sports betting themselves, and by pretty much everyone involved in the sports betting industry in any way.
