College football fans lament the lack of a playoff system but, since it isn’t presently in the cards, the current system will have to do. That’s why we’re left evaluating BCS Championship odds.

NFL Betting – Troubled Eagles favored over Cardinals
Posted on 11/24/2008 2:08:41 PM in Football


Philadelphia has not been kind to NFL betting players lately, losing their last three games ATS, but they will have a big chance to redeem themselves in the NFL’s annual Thanksgiving schedule of games.

Big 12 basketball odds – Texas is the favorite
Posted on 11/5/2008 4:27:14 PM in Basketball


The Big 12 wasn’t exactly deep last season, but it is top-heavy. Kansas was the cream of the crop in the NCAA Tournament, winning its third-ever title.
