Harvick Extends Sprint Cup Points Lead to 293

Record­ing his third win of the sea­son at Michi­gan Inter­na­tional Speed­way last week, Kevin Har­vick bested the four-time Cup cham­pion Jeff Gor­don by increas­ing his points lead in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series from 185 to 293. Har­vick is lead­ing in the points stand­ings with 3,400, fol­lowed by Gor­don with 3,107. Appar­ently, Gor­don hasn’t won any races in the sea­son even though he has fin­ished in the top-5 in almost half of his 23 starts. Denny Ham­lin has cap­tured the third slot with 3,047, while Tony Stew­art (3,020) and Jim­mie John­son (3,014) are round­ing...

New England Patriots Betting Preview

Are the Pats actu­ally being under­es­ti­mated this year? For a change of pace, it looks like the New Eng­land Patri­ots are not get­ting the value they used to. They are now the co-favorites to suc­ceed in the AFC East instead of the indis­putable odds on preference. Quar­ter­back Tom Brady is among the best in the biz today, and wide receiver Randy Moss will def­i­nitely want to prove that he still has the energy he has always had, as he makes an effort to run down Jerry Rice’s record as the best receiver in the game. The once aging defense has regained its youth­ful­ness... 

Giants down Jets in NFL Preseason Opener

Vic­tor Cruz grabbed three second-half touch­down passes to help the New York Giants beat the New York Jets, 31–16, in the first NFL pre-season game. Rookie Cruz came away with six catches for 145 yards and was def­i­nitely the high­light of the first NFL pre-season game held at the new home of the Giants and the Jets, New Mead­ow­lands Stadium. Eli Man­ning, the Giants quar­ter­back, left in the first half after get­ting a cut on his fore­head when his hel­met was knocked off and his head appar­ently got caught on Jets safety Jim Leonhard’s facemask. Man­ning fin­ished 4-of-8... 

New York Jets Betting Preview

The arrival of Head Coach Rex Ryan into the Big Apple last year proved to have quite an impact. Despite mak­ing a mess of some things, he did man­age to have a good game to back it all up. Ryan’s defense con­tin­ued blitz­ing, so much so that sev­eral teams were annoyed in the process. After it was said and done, the Jets fin­ished just a game away from the Super Bowl. A lot more is expected from New York this year, par­tic­u­larly after the acqui­si­tion of wide receiver San­to­nio Holmes, defen­sive back Anto­nio Cro­mar­tie, and run­ning back LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son in... 

Betting Favorites Nationals Beat Diamondbacks

Attract­ing over 61 % of  the bet­ting action, the Wash­ing­ton Nation­als were the clear favorites against Ari­zona with Lines­Maker bet­tors. Wash­ing­ton had bet­ting odds of –179 and they did not dis­ap­point the major­ity of bet­tors by win­ning once again over the D’backs. Ian Desmond hit a tie-breaking sin­gle in the sev­enth frame and the Wash­ing­ton Nation­als went on to pass over the Ari­zona Dia­mond­backs 5–3 Sun­day in the rub­ber match of a three-game set at Nation­als Park. Rookie phe­nom Stephen Stras­burg made a good start after com­ing... 

Sports Betting Spread

Sports Bet­ting Spread; The Most Pop­u­lar Play In Sports Bet­ting True sports fans have been putting their money where their mouths are for cen­turies. Gam­bling on sports events has its his­tor­i­cal roots in Amer­ica all the way back to the Found­ing Fathers. I sup­pose it would not be much of a stretch to assume that the first race bet on in Amer­ica was the ride of Paul Revere to Boston. I would say that the sports bet­ting spread on his arriv­ing in time to notify the Boston author­i­ties of the instruc­tions given to him to deliver by the Found­ing Fathers was 3–1 against... 

Ravens and Patriots Winners in NFL Preseason Openers

Com­plet­ing 8-of-12 for 120 yards and a touch­down, Joe Flacco helped the Bal­ti­more Ravens pass over the Car­olina Pan­thers 17–12 Thurs­day in the pre­sea­son opener. After a great first series, Flacco found Mark Clay­ton in a 96-yard drive, which con­se­quently ended up in a bril­liant 30-yard TD pass. Quar­ter­back Matt Moore of Car­olina was not able to deliver in his three pos­ses­sions. He was pushed into the lime­light after the Pan­thers dis­charged Jake Delhomme. Jimmy Clausen, backup for Car­olina, went 8-for-15 for 80 yards and an inter­cep­tion in the... 

Oakland Raiders Betting Preview

Is there any rea­son for the Oak­land Raiders to be glad about right now? Along with the con­sid­er­ate end of JaMar­cus Rus­sell era in the Raider Nation, also goes one of the most recent Al Davis blun­ders. Although, no mis­take was made on draft day this year, as line­backer Rolando McClain was crowned as the new cap­tain and heart of the defense. Head Coach Tom Cable has always done his best to keep his team aggres­sive, and this year should not be any dif­fer­ent. Pro­vided that quar­ter­back Jason Camp­bell has a great year, Oak­land Raiders will do well this year with...
