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.

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.

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.

Visit the forum to see which services are on which team.

First of all, a quick "Thank You" to all of our veterans and those currently active. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

A decent-sized schedule is on tap tonight, with 13 NBA games, three college basketball games, a televised NCAA football game and six games in the NHL.

Orlando and Cleveland is the marquee game in the NBA tonight, while there are several interesting NHL games.

Atlanta and Denver are the two most popular plays in the NBA, while the Buffalo Sabres are the public's favorite team in the NHL.

Tuesday's schedule isn't really that enticing from a sports fan perspective, although sports bettors may find it a bit more to their liking.

There is just one college football game, with Buffalo hosting Ohio, while many of the marquee NBA teams are idle. Buffalo is favored by one point.

An interesting NBA game will take place in Sacramento, where the upstart Thunder travels to play the Kings. Last year the two teams combined for 40 wins, but Oklahoma City is 3-3 so far this season and the Kings are 3-4.

On a day with several intriguing match-ups, one of the most interesting will take place when the Oregon Ducks meet the Stanford Cardinal. Oregon, fresh of its huge win over USC, is favored by a touchdown.

If there was ever a team due for a letdown, it's the Oregon Ducks, a fact most bettors are aware of, as the line is a bit lower than it should be. Stanford is no slouch and have the ability to run the ball, something that could give the Ducks problems.

Other key games are Alabama vs. LSU and Ohio State vs. Penn State.

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy is looking for a new publisher after Random House decided not to go ahead with the release of his book, Blowing The Whistle. The book, which was scheduled to be released this month, was pulled after the NBA threatened to sue.

While it appears the book may never be published, that doesn't mean you can't see a little bit of what has the NBA so up in arms.

Several key NFL games highlight today's schedule, with the Ginats at the Eagles, Denver at Baltimore and Minnesota at Green Bay the three mostly likely to get attention.

The Broncos, along with the Colts and Saints, who play Monday, look to remain the only unbeaten teams in the league.

The Colts and Houston are the two favorite choices of the public to cover the point spread today, as both teams have 75 percent of the wagers in their respective games. Houston will be in Buffalo, while the Colts host a scrappy 49er team.

Tonight, the Yankees will try to take a commanding 3-to-1 lead over the Phillies in the World Series. CC Sabathis is a large favorite to come away with the win. The line on the game is NY -170. The Yankees are bigger favorites to win the World Series, as the adjusted line is Yankees -450 at several different books.

With several big games taking place tonight, such as Game 3 of the World Series and the showdown between USC and Oregon, Notre Dame finds itself in a rare position of not getting much attention. Tonight's game between the Irish and Washington State has barely registered a blip on anybody's radar.

Of course that may have something to do with the fact that Washington State is bad. Extremely bad, which is why they are nearly four touchdown underdogs to Notre Dame.

The Yankees and the Phillies return to action tonight, as Andy Pettite faces Cole Hamels. Hamels, the World Series MVP last year, clearly hasn't been the same pitcher he was a year ago and struggled nearly all season.

The battle between Oregon and USc should be a great one to watch. The Trojans are favored by three on the road and will have to work hard to contain Jeremiah Masoli. Eugene is a tough place to play, but it's been several years to find USC favored by as little as a field goal. The Ducks defeated USC in Eugene the last time the teams met there.

When the New York Yankees threw $82.5 million at A.J. Burnett this summer it was with the expectation that the right-hander would help the team return to the World Series. So far, so good. But you don't pay a player $16.5 million per season and not expect them to perform when it matters most, therefore the Yankees will turn to Burnett to even the series against the Phillies.

The oddsmakers are behind the Yankees as New York is roughly -210 on the money line, while the bets are coming in on both teams.
