Showdown Sunday

Follow me on:


Two highly anticipated NFL games take place today, as the Baltimore Ravens visit Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings, while the New York Giants visit the high-flying New Orleans Saints.

The Saints are favored by 3 or 3.5 points depending on the sportsbook, while the Vikings are favored between 2.5 or 3 points.

The weather is expected to play a factor in several games-most notably in New England and the New York Jets game, so remember to factor that into your handicapping.

The National League playoffs resume tonight, with the Dodgers traveling to Philadelphia. Cliff Lee takes the mound for the Phillies and has never faced the Dodgers before, while Hiroki Kuroda has thrown well against the Phillies in his four lifetime starts.

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