| Pac 10 Preview Lenny Del Genio - 8/11/2008 12:19 AM Pac 10 Preview by Lenny Del Genio Our previous conference preview was on the ACC and focused in on a potential sleeper team in North Carolina largely because other than Clemson (who always lets everyone down) there was no clear cut choice on who would be crowned champion at the end of the regular season. That is not the case in the Pac 10. Like the Big 10, which we will be covering nex... |

| This Week In Betting, A to Z Doc's Sports - 8/7/2008 11:44 AM by T.O. Whenham - 08/06/2008 A - Artest, Ron. The Rockets are clearly looking to win while they still have a solid core in place. That's pretty much the only reason that they would take the gamble they have - adding Ron Artest to their line-up. There's little doubt that Artest is as good as anyone defensively. He's just also a locker room menace, and he can rip a team apart and cause trouble li... |

Whenham - 07/19/2008 With NFL training camps just around the corner now is the time we should be getting our head around how we think things are going to turn out by the time the playoffs roll around.

| College Futures: Season Win Totals Doc's Sports - 7/17/2008 2:56 PM by T.O. Whenham - 07/15/2008 College football is just around the corner, so it is a good time to look at college football season win totals. Looking at the totals this far after they have been released is mostly a frustrating situation - there isn't much value at all in the ones that seem to be the most straightforward or obvious. The only thing that makes sense to me in these situations is to... |
| Season Home Run Props Predictions Doc's Sports - 7/17/2008 2:56 PM by T.O. Whenham - 07/16/2008 There is a rare break in the constant stream of action that makes up the baseball season, so it is a natural time to take a step back and evaluate where we are at. One thing that we can do now is consider who is likely to hit the most home runs on the season, and then to see if we can make some money from that belief. Bodog has odds listed for a dizzying number of p... |

| This Week in Betting, A to Z Doc's Sports - 7/9/2008 4:51 PM by T.O. Whenham - 07/07/2008 A - A's. Not only was there a ridiculous amount of money spent on a 16-year-old pitcher, but it came from a very unlikely team - Oakland. The A' s signed Michael Inoa to a minor league contract that included a $4.25 million signing bonus. The guy may be young, but he obviously has enough ability to make a team lose their heads - he's 6 foot 7, and he throws in the m... |

The one issue could be that of those 21 games, 18 took place in the Metrodome so this team isn’t exactly used to life on the road. Boston is back at Fenway aft... |

| The AFL Playoffs: Dogs Have Their Day Doc's Sports - 7/2/2008 11:11 AM by Max Powers - 07/01/2008 The Wild Card Weekend of the Arena Football Playoffs was completed last week and the underdogs dominated, covering all four games and winning three of them straight-up.

| This Week in Betting, A to Z Doc's Sports - 6/24/2008 11:29 AM by T.O. Whenham - 06/23/2008 A - Arnold, Benedict. If you aren't a hockey fan or a Canadian then you can't really understand the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are usually terrible and they haven't won a Cup since 1967, yet in the eyes of the team and their fans they are the only team that matters. Leafs fans are like really annoying Red Sox fans circa 1999. You can imagine, then, how thrilled fans... |

| 2008 NFL Futures: AFC Preview Lenny Del Genio - 6/19/2008 11:39 PM 2008 NFL Futures: AFC Preview By Lenny Del Genio Well, the NFL Regular Season is still several months away, but Futures and projected win totals have been released for all 32 teams!

Last year, my top wager was the Kansas City Chiefs Under 8 Wins. The... |
| Handicapping Baseball Defense Big Al McMordie - 6/19/2008 11:36 PM Handicapping Baseball Defense, By Big Al McMordie It's important for a team to have strong defense at key positions such as outfield, shortstop and catcher. Defense at centerfield, shortstop and catcher are where the term "Strong up the middle comes from." Good teams use defense to assist their pitching, turn double plays and help keep team ERAs down. From a betting stand... |
