Today almost seems like a typical NFL day, as there 10 games on the schedule, including two nationally televised games by the NFL Network in Pittsburgh at Washington, along with Denver at Seattle.

The money has been coming in on Cleveland and Washington so far this morning, although Seattle still has the largest percentage of wagers, with 75 percent of the bets coming in on the Seahawks. Green Bay is another favorite play among bettors.

In baseball, St. Louis and the White Sox are being bet heavily, while the Angels and Phillies are receiving plenty of play, as well.

Possible live underdogs will be Seattle and Texas.

On the umpire front, notorious under umpires Bill Miller (Colorado), Ted Barrett (San Diego) and Ted Cuzzi (Cleveland) are behind the plate tonight, while Dale Scott, who is working the White Sox game, has seen 60 percent of his games go over the total.

Barrett has seen the home team win 17 of his 24 games, although San Diego will have its work cut out against Carpenter and the Cardinals. Other umpires with a home team tendency are working in Houston, Oakland and the White Sox game.

Don't forget, those looking for a good college football preview can get one absolutely free by e-mailing statattacksports@yahoo.com. The 254-page issue will come as a PDF file.

Today's play is up at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
