Another Ugly NFL Game

Thursday November 19, 2009


The National Football League is 0-for-2 this week. After a dreadful Monday night game between Cleveland and Baltimore an equally uninspiring contest between the 4-5 Miami Dolphins and the 4-5 Carolina Panthers awaits fans tonight. The Panthers have been bet heavily and are now 3.5-point favorites. The over/under has dropped to 42.

Fortunately, there are better match-ups on the schedule tonight, including an interesting college basketball game between North Carolina and Ohio State, along with several decent hockey games.

Ugly Monday Night Game

Monday November 16, 2009



One of the problems of creating the Monday Night Football schedule in advance for the entire season is that sometimes you end up with games that aren't all that appealing. Tonight is a prime example, as the Baltimore Ravens visit the Cleveland Browns.

I'm not sure if the league thought there would be some appeal in the current Browns taking on the old Browns, but this game isn't one that will draw plenty of viewers. The Ravens are double-digit favorites despite being on the road.

In the NHL, New Jersey will attempt to match the best start ever on the road, as the Devils look to go 10-0 away from home, but will have to get past a tough Flyers squad to do so.

Day of Games of the Year

Saturday November 14, 2009


Countless sports services are releasing their games of the year today and a popular choice is the Oregon Ducks. The boys from Eugene have been bet up to 19-point favorites, as people are betting on the Ducks as though the game is already over.

The Notre Dame vs. Pittsburgh game has gotten plenty of two-way action, with a number of services on both teams.
