| Villanova looks to stay tied with Creighton atop the Big East
Conference on Friday night when the Wildcats host Seton Hall — play on

| NCAA basketball odds: Oregon at No. 2 Arizona |
| Feb 5, 2014 |

| Super Bowl XLVIII: Seahawks Notes and Betting Trends |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| It is the second Super Bowl appearance for the Seahawks franchise after
it led the NFC with 13 wins this season. Seattle lost Super Bowl XL in
Detroit to Pittsburgh 21-10 in probably the least interesting Super
Bowl this decade. The Seahawks rode the NFL’s best defensive unit to the NFC title. During the regular season, the Seahawks led the NFL in points allowed (231), total defens ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: First Downs |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| A Super Bowl first downs prop seems easy to win. After all the Denver Broncos set the NFL record in scoring this year and led the NFL with a whopping 435 first downs. That’s a little more than 27 per game. The Broncos got 293 via the pass, 107 on the rush and 35 by penalty. They were an excellent 95-for-205 on third-down conversions, a success rate of 46.3 percent. Denver also was 8-for-9 on ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: MVP |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning can join a select group of company on
Sunday should he win his second Super Bowl MVP and he is the
overwhelming betting chalk to do so at WagerWeb at -125. Why shouldn’t Manning be a huge favorite? All he did this season was have the best year ever for a quarterback in breaking NFL records for touchdown tosses and passing yards. He will win a record ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Penalties |
| Feb 1, 2014 |
| No one wants the referees to be involved in the result of Sunday’s
Super Bowl XLVIII between Denver and Seattle, but the fact is that
penalties are going to play a factor. The NFL named Terry McAulay as the head referee for Super Bowl XLVIII. Among the other members of the Super Bowl XLVIII officiating crew are umpire Carl Paganelli, head linesman Jim Mello, line judge Tom Symonett ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Miami Heat at New York Knicks |
| Feb 1, 2014 |

Heat team visits the Knicks and it should be a tough ticket considering
it’s Super Bowl weekend in New York. Bet on the game at WagerWeb. The Heat figure to be motivated after losing 112-95 at home to Oklahoma City on Wednesday night, blowing an early 18-point advantage. Miami was outscored by 43 points over a 33- ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Interceptions |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| If you go by accuracy, the Super Bowl should not be a contest because
Broncos QB Peyton Manning is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in
league history. During the regular season he completed 68.3 percent of
his passes with only 10 interceptions. Seattle’s Russell Wilson
completed 63.1 percent of his passes for nine interceptions — he also
threw the ball much, much less than Manning. ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Safeties |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| A safety is by far the rarest of scoring plays in the NFL. It is
usually a huge momentum change because not only does the team that got
the safety get those two points, it also gets possession of the ball.
Not unexpectedly, safeties have been rare in Super Bowl history with
only seven. A safety contributed to one of Denver’s three losses this season. In Peyton Manning’s return to I ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: Manhattan at Iona |

| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Punts |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| Probably the least appreciated player on a team is the punter — he is
usually the smallest guy and frankly a team would just as soon never
punt. It means the offense had a great day. However, punting can
absolutely influence a game in a big way in terms of field position.
That could be even more true in Super Bowl XLVIII with the weather
possibly being a factor. Denver’s punter Bri ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Quarterback Sacks |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| If the Seattle Seahawks are going to upset the Denver Broncos and their
record-setting offense on Sunday, the Seahawks are going to have to get
pressure on Denver’s Peyton Manning, who broke the NFL record for TD
passes and yardage this season. The good news is that Seattle ranked 8th in the NFL this season with 44 sacks. However, Manning was taken down an NFL-low 20 times. On the ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII Props: Fumbles |
| Jan 31, 2014 |
| Because this Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVIII will be the first outdoor
cold-weather Super Bowl, with lows likely in the mid-20s and a small
chance of snow, it could be hard to hold onto the football, which gets
hard and slippery in the cold. Would that benefit one team over
another? We shall see. Seattle recovered 11 fumbles during the regular season and fumbled it away on 10 occasions. ... read more |

| NCAA basketball odds: UCLA at Oregon |
| Jan 30, 2014 |
| Not that long ago, Oregon was one of a few remaining unbeaten teams in
the country. However, the wheels have fallen off for the Ducks and they
would not be an NCAA Tournament team at this time. Thursday’s game is
almost a must-win for the Ducks against UCLA. Oregon
is 2.5-point WagerWeb chalk. Oregon beat Washington State 71-44 on Sunday to end a five-game losing skid. Jason C ... read more |
| Super Bowl XLVIII field goal props: over/under 3.5 |

NFL-record 64-yarder. The over/under for total field goals on Sunday is
3.5, with the under a -145 WagerWeb favorite. Here are the Super Bowl field goal records: ... read more |

| The New York Knicks are trending back in the right direction as they
enter Thursday night’s TNT opener against Cleveland on a three-game
losing skid and they are 5.5-point WagerWeb chalk to make it four
consecutive ahead of Saturday’s showdown against Miami. Cleveland ended a five-game homestand at 1-4 with a 100-89 loss to New Orleans on Tuesday. New Orleans scored 16 consecutive p ... read more |

night in Miami as the Thunder and Heat meet for the first of
two-regular season match ups. The Heat are 4.5-point WagerWeb chalk. No player in the NBA is hotter than the Thunder’s Kevin Durant, who has become the MVP favorite — an award he has never captured. In Monday’s 111-109 W over Atlanta, Durant scored 41 po ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: No. 16 Iowa State at No. 6 Kansas |
| Jan 29, 2014 |

| NCAA basketball odds: No. 11 Kentucky at LSU |
| Jan 28, 2014 |
| LSU is probably a bubble NCAA Tournament team as things currently stand
so a win on Tuesday night over ranked Kentucky would be a big boost to
the Tigers’ resume. Kentucky is 3-point WagerWeb chalk. The Tigers lost 82-80 at Alabama over the weekend. Anthony Hickey drove coast-to-coast in the final 4.4 seconds, but his attempt at a game-tying runner from 10-feet was blocked as t ... read more |

| Jan 28, 2014 |

9-point WagerWeb chalk. The Lakers lost 110-103 at the Knicks on Sunday. Jodie Meeks scored 24 points for the Lakers, but he was shut out in the fourth quarter after scoring 16 ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: Loyola at No. 4 Wichita State |
| Jan 28, 2014 |

Tuesday’s opponent, Loyola of Illinois, has yet to win a road game, it
seems rather likely the Shockers will remain without a loss. They are
20-point WagerWeb chalk. Loyola comes in off a 93-87 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday in OT. Milton Doyle scored eight of his 28 points in overtime. Doyle hit a 3-pointer and ... read more |

| NBA basketball odds: Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls |
| Jan 24, 2014 |
| Clippers vs. Bulls is usually must-see TV because it features arguably
the best two point guard in the NBA in L.A.’s Chris Paul and Chicago’s
Derrick Rose. However, Paul remains out likely until the All-Star Break
with an injury and Rose is done for the year. The Clippers opened as
slight WagerWeb chalk for their only visit of the season to the Windy
City. Paul, who has been sideli ... read more |

| NCAA basketball odds: Colorado at No. 1 Arizona |
| Jan 23, 2014 |

Buffs a great shot of knocking off the nation’s No. 1 team on Thursday
night, either, as the Wildcats are 13.5-point WagerWeb chalk for the
Pac-12 matchup. Colorado, which recently lost star Spencer Dinwiddie for the season, beat Southern Cal 83-62 on Saturday in their last game. Josh Scott scored 20 points and ... read more |

| Jan 10, 2014 |
| Off a big win over No. 3 Ohio State on Tuesday night, Michigan State

| Jan 7, 2014 |
| The Golden State Warriors are the hottest team in the NBA and now seem

| BBVA Compass Bowl odds: Vanderbilt vs. Houston |
| Jan 4, 2014 |

Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl as starting QB Austin Carta-Samuels
could miss the contest. Could it be the finale at the school for head

| NFL Wildcard playoff odds: Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts |
| Jan 3, 2014 |

| Jan 3, 2014 |
