Free Sports Picks for November 5th, 2008

There’s plenty of action to go around on Wednesday with two college fotoball games and plenty going on in the NBA.  For starters, John Martin has his MAC Total of the Month going on tonight’s Akron/Toledo, plus a Sharp Play on the Bulls/Cavs tonight on ESPN.  John is already on a 21-7 (75%) college football run and he’s adding to his impressive resume by winning 5 of his last 6 NBA selections as well!  There’s no question that John Martin can help you be successful this week.  It’s time to strike while the iron is hot!

We’re also looking at Jeff Alexander, who has one of his world-famous Wiseguy plays going tonight on the Northern Illinois/Ball State game on ESPN 2.  Mr. Alexander is on a 54-35 run over his last 89 football picks, and tonight he’s on an 80% ATS angles that’s sure to cash.  Be on the right side tonight’s games with Jeff Alexander’s picks.

Rocky Atkinson is currently #1 on our leaderboards, earning nearly 850.0 Units of profit over the last 7 days alone!  Rocky has two plays going on Wednesday, his winning college football side and a 3* play going in the NBA after nailing all 3 of his selections last night!

Our featured free pick today comes from John Martin and is going in the NBA, good luck today!

1 Unit on Minnesota T’wolves +5

Minnesota will keep the San Antonio Spurs winless on the season with a big home win tonight. The Spurs have looked terrible in the early going, and a big reason is the fact the Manu Ginobli is watching from the sidelines in street clothes. This team clearly misses Ginobli’s ability to break down a defense and get easy layups. It is clear that the Spurs have lost a step this season, and a 98-81 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks last time out showed it. San Antonio is now a loss away from its first 0-4 start since 1973-74. The Spurs gave up just over 90 points/game last season, but have surrendered an average of 101.5 points thus far. Minnesota will be hungry to get back on the floor tonight after blowing a 12-point lead to the Thunder in their last game. This is a team that is starting to show signs of life after making the big trade to the Boston Celtics last season that sent KG out East. San Antonio is just 18-33 ATS in road games over the last 2 seasons. The Spurs are only 8-20 ATS in road games after playing a home game over the last 2 seasons. San Antonio has been a putrid road performer since winning their last championship. Cash in with Minnesota as the home underdog.

Our only free pick on the College Football games tonight comes from Pure Lock, who is recommending Toledo +6.5, but is not offering any analysis for his selection.

Free Sports Picks for November 4th, 2008

For Tuesday, November 4th not only do we have a few NBA games going, but there is also some college football as Miami of Ohio takes on Buffalo.  If you want an edge on this game then Matt Fargo has a MAC Best Bet going in this game.  He has been on fire lately going 7-1-1 ATS over the past week on the college football gridiron to bring his yearly record to 53-31-8 ATS.  If you want to profit early this week then he can surely help you do so.

Another great handicapper to look for on Tuesday night is Ben Burns.  Burns has his Tuesday night game of the year going tonight so you know he feels pretty strongly about this matchup.  He was 6-1 last week with his only loss being on an “under” that went over the total only after entering overtime.  Burns seems to dominate the MAC year after year and he is expecting nothing less on Tuesday night.

One more handicapper to consider for tonight’s college football game is Jimmy Boyd. He is now 12-6 on his last 18 with college football and he is 4-1 on his last 5 with 5* college football predictions.  If you liked his game of the year blowout winner on Lafayette on Saturday then you are in for another easy win on Tuesday night as he has his 5* MAC Game of the Year going which is supported by a perfect 17-0 ATS angle.

Free NBA picks from Jimmy Boyd:

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Suns/Nets UNDER 203.5
Odds makers are begging for us to take the over here but we won’t bite as this new Suns team does not run and gun the same way they have in the past and I don’t expect them to shoot the incredible percentage from the field that they have been in their first lengthy road contest. The Under has been a gold mine in this series with it cashing winning tickets in 5 of the last 6 meetings. The Under is an impressive 23-7 in the Nets last 30 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Under is also 4-0 in the Suns last 4 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. We’ll bet the UNDER here.

A free pick on the college game comes from Pure Lock, who recommends you take Miami but doesn’t provide any analysis with his selections.

North Carolina Rutgers Free Picks

Many reasons to like North Carolina over Rutgers on Thursday Night.

A quick glance at Butch Davis debut year, 4-8 (3-5 ACC), leaves one pretty underwhelmed - esp. with paltry offensive punch, and middle of the pack defensive numbers from last years’ squad.

It’d be easy to assume that 18 Starters returning from a 4-8 team would not necessarily result in a higher win total this year - until a deeper look into these players and improvement as year progressed, and analysis of the depth and continuity of the team.
UNC was the 4th youngest team in D-I last year - Florida was youngest, but 18 players return - every player on offense, save SR LG Bishop - whom started 6 games in 06 - one game shy of being labeled as a ‘Returning Starter”.

QB Yates had a misleading poor finish to his RFr year - after he began year with a bang - with top 5 in NCAA after 1st 4 games in passing efficiency - then lost a great deal of velocity and played with bum arm the rest of the year.

Successful off-season surgery has revived Yates - who reportedly had great Fall camp, with as much velocity and touch as ever - and recaptured starting job again after brief QB battle with Cameron Sexton (JR). Yates has underrated receiver corps to throw to, esp. RAC specialist, Brandon Tate - who Davis’ just cannot find enough ways to get ball to - return, tailback, fly sweep, ect….

CLOSE GAMES: NINE OF 11 (D-1) GMS UNC PLAYED WERE DECIDED BY 7 OR <.

Two losses by 37-10 scores were at So Fla and at Wake - both 9-4 teams on road

With the avg team, going 3-6 in close games might be a negative - but -

Davis’ team has shown resiliency after tough defeats and in difficult circumstances:

In 2nd of BTB Roadies, UNC nearly upset VT as +19 dog in Blacksburg after a 37-10 loss at S Fla

UNC beat MD 16-13 (07 Bowl Team), after 37-10 loss at Wake.

UNC’s secondary is very good and underrated -

Great Safety’s:

NFL Prospect Goodard (SR), and

Freshman Def POY, Williams.

UNC also inserts game-ready TOP RANKED JUCO DB, Mel Williams - and

Davis’ trademark shuffling of the deck to maximize his great athletes from middle of the o-depth chart - little pt, to getting them on the filed to play DB, SS, FS has continued with typical instant results -

Davis UNC vastly under-rated and lightening quick Secondary is a who’s who of former Offensive Players:
Left Corner, Converted WR speedster Charles Brown - startered and played in 9 games as TRUE FR ly - is great tackling Corner (had 59 tackles last year - 5 for losses - and a dozen break-ups) and

FS Jolly SO - is former RB

SO Merlett is Jolly’s back-up - but plays on Nickle / Dime - great cover guy (another former RB),

Even the platooning SS, Sarcy (SO) was once a LB!

The long and short of it is that UNC’s re-built secondary has been labeled by many as the fastest most underrated group in NCAA

Phil Steele:

UNC DB’s “….this figures to be the most improved & talented secondaries in the NCAA”.

UNC MATCH-UPS VS RUTGERS:

In Wk 1, Rutgers Rush yards were EVEN MORE lacking than we’d thought they may be with absence of do-it-all Ray Rice’s departure for NFL -

RB - Gaping hole with Rice’s departure a year earlier than planned -

106 yds rushing by Rutgers - regardless of the opp., a dramatic deficiency for any Schiano team….

UNC SECONDARY - VS RUTGER’S SUDDENLY ONE-DIMENSIONAL ATTACK OF QB TEEL | KNIGHTS PASSING GAME is a very significant statistical, match-up advantage for North Carolina

Perhaps a similar problematic aspect for UNC’s offense may be Rutgers’ Secondary - which really is in top 2 or 3 in Big East

The difference is that UNC has an outstanding group of receivers -

TOP NINE RECEIVERS IN UNC STAT BOOK ALL RETURN -

WITH UNC QB YATES 100% RECOVERED -

VERY GOOD BACK-UP QB IN WAIT - Sexton.

1. TWO SUPERB RECRUITING CLASSES IN CHAPPEL HILL FOR DAVIS
2. A ONE YEAR BACK-STEP FOR SCHIANO’S KNIGHTS
3. IT LEADS ME TO STRONGLY LEAN TOWARD HEELS HERE….

WITH A FEW MORE FACTS TO CONSIDER:

1. UNC HAS NOT WON A GAME OUTSIDE OF STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN SIX PLUS YEARS!
2. RUTGERS LOPSIDED HOME LOSS TO FRESNO STATE HAS THIS LINE UNDER A TD -

3. IF AND WHEN THIS GETS UP TO UNC +7, I LIKE THE HEELS A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT MORE - BUT

RUTGERS RUNNING GAME INEPTITUDE AND

THE STRENGTHS OF BOTH SECONDARIES LEAVES A MUCH STRONGER WAGER POSSIBILITY of:

-110 TO -130 TEASER, INVOLVING:

1. UNC PLUS DOUBLE DIGITS WITH
2. UNDER HIGH-50′S (NUMBER IS FORTHCOMING, BUT OUGHTA BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 48 -53, YOU’D THINK)

FIRST SELECTION:

NORTH CAROLINA +5 | 0.5 UNIT

(IT’LL NUDGE TO 1 UNIT AT 6.5, GLADLY BUY HALF POINT ON ROAD, AND 1.5 UNIT AT +7 - WISHFUL)

The most popular bet to make when talking about the 2008 Indy 500 odds is which driver will win the race. As we speak, the early race favorite is Scott Dixon with 11/4 odds to win. Fellow Target teammate Dan Wheldon is next in line with 4/1 odds to win the Indy 500. Both of these drivers make great teammates and have been tearing up the IndyCar Series standings this season. Each has a win already under their belt with Dixon winning the first race of the season as the GAINSCO Auto Insurance 300 at Homestead, FL. Wheldon took down the most recent IndyCar Series race at the RoadRunner Turbo 300 in Kansas City, KS. Dixon is currently No. 2 in the IndyCar Series Standings with 138 points while Wheldon is No. 3 with 135 points.

Both Dixon and Wheldon are trailing Helio Castroneves who has 144 points in the IndyCar Series standings. You may have seen Castroneves show off his dance moves on Dancing with the Stars recently. But Castroneves is listed with 5/1 odds to win the Indy 500 this weekend. You have to consider Castroneves, Wheldon and Dixon when looking to make your 2008 Indy 500 picks to win.

New Mexico State Football 06

Spring practices are in the books and fall camps will be here before you know it so that means getting an early jump on the 2006 NCAA football season. Knowing the teams now will save you time in August and Matt Fargo is here to help you get a grasp of what to expect this upcoming year. We go from worst to first in this 2006 College Football Preview.

#116 – New Mexico St. Aggies 0-12 SU; 2-10 ATS

Fargo’s Take A high-flying passing attack was supposed to happen for the Aggies in 2005 but it never got off the ground. This was a triple option team the year prior so trying to completely revamp the offense in one year was a stretch. Things should be better in the second year of the Hal Mumme experiment but it’s the defense that is the bigger concern. The Aggies were next to last in total defense and 116th in scoring defense, giving up 38.8 ppg. The stop unit should improve with six starters coming back, five of which are seniors but in order for this team to be successful, it will have to improve immensely. This will be New Mexico St.’s second year in the WAC where anything is possible so if the offense can find a groove, this could be a fun team to watch with a fair share of shootouts taking place. It is almost assured that this team will not be winless again since two 1-AA teams are on the schedule but a couple other wins within the conference must be attained or Mumme could be in trouble only after two years.

Returning Starters on Offense – 8 The Mumme aerial show never happened in 2005 as the offense tallied more than 30 points on only one occasion, which ended up being a one-point loss to Idaho. The best athlete on the offense, Paul Dombrowski, is gone but the rest of the receiving corps remains intact for new quarterback Chase Holbrook, who has the tools and the size to be a star. He sat out last year because of transfer regulations but he played under Mumme at Southeastern Louisiana so even though he is a sophomore, he has been in this system for three seasons. The running game gets everyone back and will be led by Justine Buries, who rushed for 779 yards and five touchdowns in the limited running attack offense.

Returning Starters on Defense – 6 This is where the Aggies need to get better quickly and the going might be tough despite the return of six very experienced starters, a key thing to remember when making your sports picks. Replacing NCAA leading tackler Jimmy Cottrell will be impossible and his leadership will be sorely missed. Even though the defense lost three starting linebackers in total, the depth and experience at that position is still fairly strong. It needs to be as this team allowed 216.3 ypg on the ground last year, 6th worst in the country. The secondary is another concern with Matt Griebel needing to be replaced at free safety. Playing in the WAC means facing a lot of excellent passing teams so getting into too many shootouts will not be beneficial.

Schedule The schedule last year did the Aggies no favors as non-conference games against UTEP, Colorado, New Mexico and Cal started them out 0-4 and left them barely breathing. Colorado and Cal are out and SE Louisiana and Texas Southern are in so New Mexico St. should be 2-1 heading into its bye. The two best chances for WAC victories are against Idaho and Utah St. but both of those come on the road. This is the first time in the history of the school that the Aggies will have seven home games so there could be some surprises in the mix especially when the schedule has only four teams that made it to a bowl game in 2005.

You can bet on… Two wins. If the Aggies cannot grab both of those wins against the 1-AA teams, they have no right playing in 1-A. With the easy slate and seven home contests, New Mexico St. has a legitimate shot at four or five wins but the preseason ranking is still near the bottom because they haven’t proved anything yet. It could very well turn into another catastrophe if Holbrook can’t get the job done. New Mexico St. was one of the worst teams against the spread last season, covering only twice and losing money in its last eight games. As bad as this team was, they were getting single digits in their last three contests but don’t expect to see that this year.

NFL Football Underdogs

While many publications are beginning to look at the best teams in the NFL, there is just as much money to be made betting AGAINST teams with weaknesses. Here’s a look at some NFL teams that appear to be moving in the wrong direction to help you with free NFL picks.

Raiders: Art who? Art Shell is back to coach the Raiders, a curious move as he has not been involved in coaching since the Raiders fired him after the 1994 season. That was a long time ago, and the NFL has changed. Just ask Joe Gibbs, who struggled in his first year back admitting that the game had changed a lot. For instance, when Gibbs was winning Super Bowls in the 1980s and 90s, one of his mantras was maximum quarterback protection. He tried that in 2004, but with so few receiving targets, no one could get open against today’s Cover-2 defense. The Redskins were 29th in passing that season.

And Shell didn’t light the NFL world on fire when he was coach the first time. His offense coordinator will be Tom Walsh, who was fired by the Raiders along with Shell following the 1994 season. Walsh was an assistant with the Raiders from 1982-94, coaching quarterbacks and receivers before becoming offensive coordinator under Shell. Talk about a potentially throwback attack! Will they come out in the Single Wing or the T-Formation?

Just as curious have been the personnel moves, getting rid of mistaken prone QB Kerry Collins for mistake prone Aaron Brooks. Age has been a problem with a weak defense the last few years, signing guys like Ted Washington, DE Bobby Hamilton and Warren Sapp. So who do they add this offseason? 11-year CB Tyrone Poole and CB Duane Starks, the latter who was a bust with New England’s poor secondary last season. Since losing the 2003 Super Bowl to Tampa Bay, the Raiders are 14-33-1 against the spread!

Vikings: Brad Childress is the new Minnesota head coach, a former offensive coordinator with the Eagles. I hope he knows what he’s getting into. Trading star WR Randy Moss and shipping out star QB Daunte Culpepper in each of the last two offseasons while getting little in return makes it very tough on the new coach. Capable QBs are rare in this league, and to dump Culpepper without at least seeing if he is healthy for a potential bounce-back season makes little sense. After all, he is only 29-years old and in 2004 Culpepper had an incredible season with 39 TDs and 11 picks.

They also let WR Nate Burleson walk. He was off a poor season, but in 2004 Burleson had 1,006 yards receiving and nine touchdowns. Minnesota’s offense was 25th in the NFL in 2005, a poor 27th rushing the football, and will be again run by 38-year old Brad Johnson. The Vikings defense wasn’t much better than the offense, ranked 21st overall. Many eyebrows were raised on draft day when the Vikings TRADED UP into the second round to take Tarvaris Jackson of Alabama State. Who? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. A lot of folks are wondering what the Vikings are doing.

Bills: The late push to nearly make the playoffs in 2004 was a mirage, folks. The Bills have gone 31-49 since 2001, tied with Cleveland for the third worst record in the NFL over that span. And they looked lost for 2006. New coach Dick Jauron steps in after a less than remarkable run with the Bears a few years ago. There is no QB, with J.P. Losman and Kelly Holcomb battling for the job.

And the organization decided to let go of a lot of quality talent this offseason, losing WR Eric Moulds, S Lawyer Milloy and NT Sam Adams (cap casualties). One of the biggest surprises of the 2006 draft was when the Bills selected Ohio State safety Donte Whitner with the No. 8 pick. Buffalo surprised again by taking N.C. State defensive tackle John McCargo, who wasn’t expected to go that high. The secondary also adds rookies Ohio State cornerback Ashton Youboty and South Carolina safety Ko Simpson. This secondary will be very young, and the defense couldn’t stop the run last season (29th) and doesn’t look any better.

NorthTexas College Football 06

Spring practices are in the books and fall camps will be here before you know it so that means getting an early jump on the 2006 NCAA football season. Knowing the teams now will save you time in August and Matt Fargo is here to help you get a grasp of what to expect this upcoming year. We go from worst to first in this 2006 College Football Preview.

#111 – North Texas Mean Green 2-9 SU; 4-7 ATS

Fargo’s Take Last year was a tough pill to swallow for the Mean Green faithful as it went from being the four-time defending Sun Belt champion to finishing in last place in the conference with a 2-5 record. Total offense and total defense were equally as bad but things should definitely be better in 2006. The running game is healthy and a defensive switch to the 3-4 will improve its horrid rushing defense from last season. Everything will depend however on the play of the quarterback and the bad news is that there is no set starter in place yet. Of its five conference losses in 2005, three were by a field goal, another by four points and the last by a touchdown. It shows that while competitive, it didn’t have what it takes to win those close games and that comes back to the quarterback. Things can only get better for North Texas as it should use last season as a learning experience and go from there.

Returning Starters on Offense – 9 The running game was a huge disappointment last season as the offense had not only one but two former national rushing champions with Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas. Cobbs is gone but Thomas is back and he is back healthy as hamstring problems limited him to only 361 yards last season. In order for the offense to prosper, the running game needs to regain its 2004 form because the quarterback situation is not getting any better. Daniel Meager started all 11 games last season but threw for only 941 yards and four touchdowns. Another sophomore, Matt Phillips, will be pushing him for the starting nod. The receivers are some of the best in the conference but it won’t matter much if no one can get them the ball, this of course factors into our handicappers sports picks.

Returning Starters on Defense – 6 While the offense couldn’t run last year, the defense couldn’t stop the run as it allowed 220.9 ypg which ranked 114th in the nation. The linebackers are the strength of the defense this season so those rushing numbers should decrease as long as a formidable defensive line is put into place. The new scheme alone should knock a good chunk of those yards off. In the defensive backfield, things could be a little dicey. Teams didn’t need to throw much on the Mean Green last season for obvious reasons but that could change this year and with an unproven and extremely young secondary, we could see a reversal of what occurred last year. Overall, the defense isn’t going to improve that much.

Schedule The three top teams in the Sun Belt from last season all host North Texas and that is discouraging news for the Mean Green. They do however get Middle Tennessee, Florida International and Florida Atlantic at home to make up for it. This team never shies away from a tough non-conference slate and that is the case again this season with games at Texas, Tulsa and Akron. The last two might not look intimidating but both should win their respective divisions within their conferences. Home games against SMU and Louisiana Tech round out the non-conference schedule.

You can bet on… North Texas will try and re-establish itself as one of the best running teams in the country simply because it has no other choice. Run and you win, if you don’t you lose plain and simple. If the young quarterback(s) can take a big step this year, North Texas can win the SBC but that is a big if and that is why this is still a middle of the conference team. Fouts Field used to be an intimidating place but a 0-5 SU record and 1-4 ATS mark last year took away a lot of luster. Thus, we could see some small numbers in home games once again but possibly see the results reversed this season if they can rediscover the formula for winning.

Online Sports Picks

When we evaluate the handicappers whose online sports picks we recommend on this site we take the five major American sports into account. Most Americans bet on the NFL, NBA, baseball, and college football and basketball. Even though there are some people out there who bet on hockey, it’s a minority of the sports betting crowd. Thus, we have articles written about NHL betting, but this ability was not factored into our recommendations. Additionally, most of the free sports picks listed with the monitors on this site will focus on those five major sports, but occasionally will give you some help on the ice.

So what are you going to want to look for when choosing a handicapper to purchase online sports picks from? We wanted to find guys who were honest, reliable, and could consistently produce. Not everyone wins every day, so after a bad day did the sports handicappers pony up to their losses and vow to work harder, or did they try to ignore and promote their one winning pick, seemingly to forget about the four sports gambling picks that lost. These guys don’t do that. For reliability you are going to want a handicapper to produce his picks at the same time every day, and at a time you will be able to access the selections. What does consistent winning mean? Well if you lose ten in a row and come back with fifteen wins you might be hitting 60%, but you broke most of your clients in the process. These guys produce steady numbers all season long, and do not have losing droughts in any one season. If you can’t handicap one of the sports above, you aren’t going to be listed on the site.

We hope this explanation will help you find the online sports picks that are right for you, and keep checking back for more updates all through the year.
