Football Betting: Friday Public Action Report
by T.O. Whenham - 11/21/2008

It's an abnormally active week for the Public Action Report - there are four games that fit the criteria. Given the number of games I won't spend a lot of time dwelling on the criteria, but basically we are looking for games where one team has a large majority of the bets, yet the line is moving to make that team more attractive. We are also looking for the line to have moved from, to, or through a key number. Without further ado:

College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 11/21/2008

The Ferringo 15 has gone just 7-19 over the last two weeks after starting the season with a sensational 60-32-2 ATS run. Tracking these teams in my College Football Profit Power Rankings is the perfect display of how the books act, react, and how to counter them. Our teams were under the radar to begin the season. But as the year went on the numbers have caught up to them and now, late in the season, all of the value that was there early in the year is now gone.

Understanding Sports Odds
by Spencer Patton - 11/21/2008

Remember when we all thought "when are we ever going to use this math" while we were in school? Well, here's one of those rewarding chances to do some simple math, yet have it pay you in real dollars. Understanding sports odds is the first essential step in making an informed sports wager.

NFL Betting: Soft Schedules Down the Stretch
by T.O. Whenham - 11/20/2008

There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the NFL. Playing any NFL team is a real challenge, and a team can lose at any time. That being said, some teams certainly have comparatively easier schedules than others. That can obviously be an advantage to the team as they try to make the playoffs, and to bettors looking for soft spots. Here are five teams with relatively soft NFL schedules down the stretch:

NHL Power Rankings
by Matt Severance - 11/20/2008

Welcome to the first NHL power rankings of the season. With the league at nearly the quarter-pole, it seems fairly evident what teams have or don't have by this point. On to the rankings (all numbers, news, etc., entering Wednesday's play).

Tennessee's a Perfect 10, But Tough NFL Games Ahead
by Greg Melikov - 11/20/2008

About this time a year when an NFL team or two is unbeaten, talk always centers on if there is a chance for another Perfect Season.

College Football Betting: Ranking the Conferences
by T.O. Whenham - 11/20/2008

The regular season is winding down in college football. The Big Ten finishes this week, and others will follow soon. Before we get into the conference championship season, let's take a few minutes to look at the six major conferences and rank them from strongest to weakest. This is purely subjective, of course. Things break down into three distinct groups - the elites, the middle-of-the-pack, and the bottom of the barrel. Without further ado:

NFL Survivor Pool Picks - Week 12
by Matt Severance - 11/20/2008

Unless you are in a very forgiving Survivor Pool, last week's Eagles upset tie at Cincinnati (the NFL's first tie in six years) knocked you out if you had picked Philly. After all, you are picking winners in these pools, not which teams won't lose. Maybe you didn't know that … much like Donovan McNabb doesn't know basic NFL rules.

Football Wagering Strategies
by Spencer Patton - 11/20/2008

It's always smart to have a successful strategy or plan for yourself when starting to bet on sports. Before you can formulate your plan, however, you have to decide on what types of betting strategies you want to use. Because football is where a great number of bettors get their start, I will cover some basic yet essential football wagering strategies that have withstood the test of time.

Fourth Down and Inches
by Doc - 11/19/2008

This is the traditional week of big rivals, as some teams close out the 2008 season with their in-state or border state rival. One of those matchups this week features Indiana at Purdue. This game features the two worst teams in the Big Ten but has special meaning for Purdue, as this will be Coach Tiller's final game. In his 12 years at Purdue, Tiller has created an offensive powerhouse and led the conference's advancement into the 21st Century by creating a spread offense.

Football Betting: Early Week Line Movements
by Robert Ferringo - 11/19/2008

It was clean sweeps all around last week. Our "sharp" action posted a 0-fer in college football, missing on all four of its movements over last weekend. Conversely, the NFL early line movements were a great indicator as it went 3-0 against the spread.

Thursday Night Football: Miami at Georgia Tech
by Matt Severance - 11/19/2008

It appears that Coach Randy Shannon does have the University of Miami back on the right track, but the young, talented Canes have one more big step to take in hopes of reaching the school's first Atlantic Coast Conference title game.

College Basketball Betting: Weekly Atlantic 10 Report
by Christopher G. Shepard - 11/19/2008

The Temple Owls will look to defend their A-10 Championship behind Dionte Christmas this year but will be challenged by Xavier, which has managed to win 20-plus games in 12 of their last 13 seasons. However, as seasoned gamblers know, winning seasons don't always mean covering the spread from November to March.

NBA Betting: Public Teams
by T.O. Whenham - 11/19/2008

With the NBA back in full swing, now is a good time to spend a bit of time thinking about public teams. Public teams - those which the public is likely to support regardless of who or how they are playing - are more of a factor in the NBA than they are in some sports because more people take just a passing interest in the NBA than in other sports. That means that people pay attention to the big stars and their teams, but don't necessarily study teams closely.

Handicapping New NBA Coaches
by T.O. Whenham - 11/19/2008

The NBA's coaching ranks are a perpetual revolving door. Each year recently somewhere around a quarter of teams in the league have welcomed a new coach. Early in the season, those new coaches represent a handicapping challenge. New coaches bring in new systems and philosophies. Some teams have the right talent and attitude, and the transition is easy.

Timberwolves Shouldn't Be This Bad
by T.O. Whenham - 11/19/2008

The Timberwolves were supposed to be one of the good stories this year. They were coming off a 22-win season last year in which they had to learn how to live without Kevin Garnett and watch him win a title elsewhere, but they had lots of young talent and there was a bit of hope. Not tons, mind you - this clearly was not going to be a playoff team. It looked, though, like it could take a significant step forward - maybe 32 wins instead of 22.

NFL Office Pool Picks - Week 12
by T.O. Whenham - 11/19/2008

It's a new week, and that means that there are 16 more games for us to pick. We had a decent week last week, and we'll look to have a better one this week. Remember, the games are picked straight up, not against the spread:

Football Betting: Handicapping the Weather
by T.O. Whenham - 11/18/2008

Winter may not have officially started yet, but as I look out the window of my office at the snow and ice I can't avoid the inevitability that cold weather is here, and it's staying for a while. Cold, snowy weather can add an extra wrinkle to our football handicapping efforts. It doesn't have to be difficult, though. Here are six tips to help you incorporate cold weather issues into your handicapping effectively.

Thursday Night NFL Preview: Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Two teams involved in two of the most bizarre games of the NFL season this past Sunday will square off against each other Thursday Night at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Resurgent Warner Unlikely MVP Candidate
by T.O. Whenham - 11/18/2008

Can Kurt Warner really win the MVP? Is this really 2008? The answer to both of those questions is a definitive yes. Teams have only played 10 games, so there is a lot of football left, and pretty much anything can still happen in the MVP race. However, for now it's Warner's race to lose. Not convinced? Let's look at what Warner is doing this year, and how he stacks up to four of the closest contenders.

College Basketball Betting: Teams That Could Disappoint
by T.O. Whenham - 11/18/2008

Now that the college basketball season is finally and mercifully underway, it's time for us to determine expectations for how teams will perform. That will help us spot value early in the season, and will give us a sign when teams are doing significantly better or worse than they should be. As I have been doing that there have been several top 25 teams that have given me real concerns when it comes to their ability to meet the expectations that are set for them. Here are four:

Playing the NBA Stock Market: Buy or Sell
by Josh Nagel - 11/17/2008

Sometimes, betting on the NBA can be a lot like buying and selling in the stock market. If you're not careful, it can have dire consequences, but if you look carefully and do your homework, you can be handsomely rewarded.

NHL Betting: The Week's Biggest Stories
by T.O. Whenham - 11/17/2008

We're settling into the slow, steady rhythms of the middle of the NHL season when nothing happens too quickly. This is when we start to learn which teams are here to stay, and which ones are just killing time until golf season starts. To an outsider that may all sound a bit dull, but to hockey fans this is heaven. It's also pretty exciting when there are owners like Oren Koules in Tampa Bay that are committed to doing the ridiculous and bizarre. This week, let's take a look at how things are going in Tampa and Pittsburgh.

Best Movies About Sports Gambling
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/17/2008

Often time the sports gambling movie genre gets lumped in with all gambling movies. While the market has been flooded over the years with movies about poker, casinos and just gambling in general, movies about sports gambling are few and far between. Many movies have passing mentions of sports betting but few fully dive into the world of sports gambling. I have ranked the top three best movies about sports gambling.

NBA Violence
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/17/2008

The NHL, the NFL, the NBA and MLB are the main draws for professional sport leagues in the U.S. and with the four different leagues you have four different definitions of violence. Fighting is completely acceptable in the NHL with fines hardly ever being imposed as referees regulate the carnage; the league advertises it and fans cheer for it.

Football Betting: Friday Public Action Report
by T.O. Whenham - 11/14/2008

It was a very good weekend for the Public Action Report last weekend - we looked at three games, and in all three games the team with comparatively little betting action covered the spread. That's what we are looking for. Let's see if we can keep the streak alive. There is one NFL game and two college games that fit our criteria.

NBA Betting: Hawks Look Like Real Deal
by T.O. Whenham - 11/14/2008

The Atlanta Hawks have been the doormats of the NBA for about as long as there has been an NBA. They didn't finish anywhere close to .500 last year, but they still squeaked into the playoffs in the top-heavy East. Once there, they were the only team that was able to give Boston a scare, eventually losing in Game 7. That was certainly a step forward for the franchise, but it gave us no hint of what was to come at the start of this year.

NBA Betting: Lakers a Team Worthy of 'Public' Status
by T.O. Whenham - 11/14/2008

Last year's season for the Lakers ended with a frustrating, embarrassing loss to the Celtics in the NBA Finals. That was a long time ago, but the Lakers clearly haven't forgotten about it, and they obviously want to do something about it. The team is the only undefeated squad remaining, and they have been spectacular.

Despite Thursday Loss, Pats Still Look Good for Playoffs
by T.O. Whenham - 11/14/2008

After the first half of the New England Patriots' first game it seemed like the story of the year would be The Injury. Though Tom Brady's knee has largely set the tone for the season, the team has probably been better than most people expected they would be. Sure, their loss last night to the Jets puts them in an unfamiliar situation - out of first place in the AFC East. Still, they are sitting at 6-4 and very much in the wild card hunt. Given how the season has gone in the AFC, 3-3 down the stretch may be enough to get them into the playoffs, and 4-2 almost certainly would.

NASCAR: Ford 400 Odds and Predictions

Barring a DNF, mechanical failure, and a Carl Edwards win in the Sunshine State, Jimmie Johnsons' 267-lap victory parade for his third consecutive Cup Series Championship begins this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at Homestead Speedway in Miami, where all the No, 48 car has to do is finish better than 36th.

College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 11/13/2008

Well, the books finally caught up to us. It only took them about 10 weeks to figure it out. But when they did, they did so with impunity. The Ferringo 15 went just 3-11 last week, its worst week in two years. I suppose I could have shaken things up a bit, but you dance with the one you brung, and we had hit 65 percent for 10 weeks prior to that so I can't complain.

2008-2009 College Basketball Predictions

The college basketball season is slowly but surely get underway. It will be a while before people start paying a lot of attention, but it's never too soon to start making some college basketball predictions. College basketball culminates in the single best spectacle in sports, but there is a lot of excitement and intrigue between now and the madness of March. As things get fired up, here is my random collection of college basketball predictions to get you thinking about the season ahead of us.

A College Football Playoff Would Be No Better Than BCS
by T.O. Whenham - 11/13/2008

I am sick to death of the talk of a college football playoff. BCS bashing is the favorite activity of the media and college football fans. I don't agree. I think that a playoff is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. That's not to say that I think the BCS is perfect. It's far from it. It's just that the playoff would be no better. Winston Churchill said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been tried. That's pretty much how I feel about the BCS. Don't agree with me? Maybe you will after I lay out some of my arguments:

Fourth Down and Inches
by Doc - 11/12/2008

Our Big Ten selections rolled last week as we released Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Western Michigan and we nailed the Superfecta by winning all four. Even though Ohio State was our top play of the week, the most gratifying selection might have been Iowa. The Hawkeyes beat Penn State straight up with a field goal at the buzzer and certainly looked good on defense for 60 minutes. I must admit that I am eating crow with Iowa, as I predicted them to finish at the bottom of the standings. True, they are just 3-3 in the Big Ten.

Around the NBA in 24 Seconds
by Robert Ferringo and Nolan Sinclair - 11/12/2008

The first couple of weeks are in the books in the NBA and I can say that while there have been some interesting storylines; there isn't anything that I've seen to this point that is altogether stunning. Well, that is other than the fact that the quality of play has been much, much worse than I was expecting.

NFL Office Pool Picks - Week 11
by T.O. Whenham - 11/12/2008

For the first time in what seems like an eternity there are no bye weeks to be had this week. That means we have more games to choose from, and more games to get right. Here's how I see each of the 16 games on the schedule turning out straight up this week:

Thursday Night Football: Virginia Tech at Miami
by Matt Severance - 11/12/2008

2009 Super Bowl Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 11/12/2008

It would be much easier to make 2009 Super Bowl predictions if we could wait until the season is half over before doing it. That would help us avoid some of the regrettable opinions that we inevitably form every year. This year, for example, I can take pride that I didn't like San Diego at all, but that joy is tempered by the fact that I did believe in Minnesota and especially Jacksonville. Oops. Virtually everyone saw their opinion of the Patriots change dramatically with one sore knee, and few would have guessed that the two quarterbacks leading their teams to the highest heights would be Eli Manning and Kerry Collins.

Early NBA Betting Lessons
by T.O. Whenham - 11/12/2008

The NBA season is only a couple of weeks old, but already it has been educational. As any sports bettor knows, success comes from a combination of advanced preparation and the ability to adjust expectations based on what happens on the court, field, or ice. A whole lot of interesting things have happened this year - some that have gone as expected, and others that certainly haven't. Here's a look at five lessons that bettors have learned so far in this young NBA season.

College Football Betting: Teams That Could Quit
by T.O. Whenham - 11/12/2008

The Tennessee Volunteers put forth one of the most disgusting performances of the year this weekend against Wyoming. There is nothing worse you can say about a team than that they quit. The Vols quit. Badly. Sure, they have excuses - the season is totally lost, they won't be bowl eligible, the coach is on the way out, and it has to be hard to get up in the morning. Still, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever that can explain losing at home when you are favored by 27. Wyoming was up 13-0 at the half, and cruised to a 13-7 win in a totally unwatchable game. Tennessee is a total and utter mess.

Football Betting: Early Week Line Movements
by Robert Ferringo - 11/11/2008

By this point in the football season the oddsmakers have all of the empirical and substantive data that they need to produce spreads with surgical precision each week. As a result, we can expect to see fewer and fewer severe line movements as the betting markets have stabilized somewhat. This week, for example, we have our fewest number of early line movements of the entire season.

Thursday Night NFL Preview: New York Jets at New England
