By Lenny Del Genio Excuse us for the extended period between our previous division preview (AFC West) and this, our AFC South Preview, the fourth and final installment of our AFC division previews. We wanted to take our time and make sure that the limb...

by Lenny Del Genio History was made in the AFC West in 2008 as the San Diego Chargers became the first team in NFL history to win a division crown after starting the season 4-8. Playing the role of choke artists were the Denver Broncos, who conversely...

By Lenny Del Genio The AFC North was certainly case of the haves and have not�s in 2008 as there was an astounding seven-game gap between second and third place in the division standings. Alas, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens squaring...

By Lenny Del Genio At this time last year, if you would have predicted that the New England Patriots, coming off the first 16-0 regular season in NFL betting history, would not win the AFC East, people would have said you were on drugs. If you were to...

By Lenny Del Genio NFL Football is king when it comes to sports betting, so when the oddsmakers annually release their projections for all 32 teams season win totals, football bettors step up and take notice. These futures odds have become a popular...

It�s time for our weekly playoff report as we are now halfway through the Conference Finals. After a less than enthralling second round of NBA Playoff Betting, it sure looks like we are in for a pair of outstanding (and long) series here in this round...

By Lenny Del Genio In last week�s playoff report, which was written upon the completion of the first two games of each of the eight first round playoff series, we went on the record stating that this NBA postseason was essentially the Cavs and Lakers...

For three days, we read numerous reports and listened to many so-called experts on TV tell us about the importance of home court advantage in NBA Playoff betting as well as how upsets �never� occur in the postseason. However, a funny thing happened in...

The West Coast Conference gets tournament play underway Friday night with a pair of first round games matching Loyola Marymount and San Diego as well as Pepperdine and San Francisco. The WCC has always held a special place in our heart as we have simply...

Rested vs. Unrested For the third consecutive week, our theory of taking rested vs. unrested teams produced the most mediocre of results with the teams off a bye covering four games and failing to cover four games. However, it needs to be noted that double...

Rested vs. Unrested For the second straight week, our theory of taking rested vs. unrested teams produced mediocre results as the teams coming off a bye went just 5-7 ATS vs. their adversaries on Saturday. After back-to-back weeks that produced a 14-7...

Rested vs. Unrested We rehash our rested vs. unrested teams dialogue in brief fashion this week, noting that the rested teams were a disappointing 5-7 (42%) ATS this past Saturday. This after cashing 14 of 21 tickets the two weeks prior (67% ATS). However...

College Earlier in the week, we promised a more "in-depth" look at the Saturday College Football action involving undefeated teams. Here you go: Oklahoma (-26.5) at Baylor : The Bears are off a bye and much improved. However, the Sooners...

Rested vs. Unrested Prior to last week's (9/20) games, we reported the ATS results of teams playing off a bye week against an opponent that is not. For this little "system" to work, note that it must be a weekend game, no weekday affairs...

College LSU at Auburn, 7:45 (ESPN): The home team has won eight straight in this series by an average of 9 PPG. Winner has not needed more than 10 points in the last two meetings at Jordan-Hare Stadium. In fact 29 total points were scored in those...

Last year, College Football bettors made a lot of money betting on teams playing with rest against unrested foes. Let's take a look at last week's results to see if the trend continues in 2008. The most noteworthy team "off a bye" was...

Each week, former linesmaker Lenny Del Genio will provide a tip sheet on the weekend's best NFL and College Football matchups. College #5 Ohio State at #1 USC (-11.5), 8:00 ABC: This game has lost a bit of its intial sizzle due to the Wells...

Weekend That Was By Lenny Del Genio We begin on the college gridiron and what better place to start than on top? Top-ranked USC was off, but a lot is being said about the team they will face this Saturday night in primetime, the Ohio State Buckeyes...

2007 was a breakthrough year for the Big 12 Conference as four teams finished the season in the top 10, including Missouri and Kansas out of the North Division, two teams that came out of nowhere. This season, the conference has clearly emerged as the...

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...

To understand where the ACC is right now on the college football landscape, you must first understand where this league was supposed to be. When league officials raided the Big East several years ago, taking Miami (FL), Virginia Tech and Boston College...

2008 Big Ten Preview by Lenny Del Genio Our last conference preview focused on the Big East, a conference that has yet to send a team to the BCS Title game but boasts one, possibly two, threats this year. Our next conference of focus, the Big Ten...

College Football's "Fave Five" by Lenny Del Genio With my claim that I would not be surprised at all to see the West Virginia Mountaineers go 12-0 during this regular season, it got me to thinking who else might join them in the race...

2008 Big East Preview by Lenny Del Genio There is no doubt that the Big East is the ugly duckling of the BCS Conference Parade. Boasting just eight teams, it is the smallest of the six major conferences and none of its current members have even...
