Eastern Conference

This could end up being a banner year for the Eastern Conference. It looks like the requirements to get into the playoffs in the East have just gotten a little stricter.

I've analyzed the last five years of the mid-February mid-major hoops orgy known as Bracket Buster Weekend to see if I could establish any useful betting angles or trends. Instead of working over every single "official" Bracket Buster game I squared my focus on the ones that featuring the mid-major conferences that were routinely wagered upon. That includes the ...  read more

It was another great NFL betting season at Doc’s Sports and I couldn’t leave it without a wrap-up of thoughts on another excellent Super Bowl. So here is a special edition of the Ferringo Report on Super Bowl 44:

Whenever a star player gets injured in any capacity heading in to a championship contest, the betting line is going to wobble and that’s exactly what’s happened to the Colts’ Super Bowl odds when reports of Dwight Freeney’s bum ankle hit the pipeline.

Maybe when you consider betting on Super Bowl action, you want to take into account the close calls the two teams - the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints - have sustained this season. If you recall (and it wasn't long ago), they both had undefeated record until very deep into the season; in fact, the Saints won their first 13 games of the 2009 campaign, while the Colts won their ...  read more

Apparently, defense isn’t allowed in the NFL anymore.

This January we have seen a dizzying display of offensive artistry as points have been a-plenty through the 10 games that we’ve witnessed. And the two teams that have survived the splurging are – not surprisingly – the two best offensive clubs in the NFL, Indianapolis ...  read more

The Big 12 has more than just Texas and Kansas this year. There are 8 teams in this conference that have 5 losses or less, 2 of them have only 1 loss, and 3 teams are ranked in the Top 10.

I'm a fan of the NBA, but it's not a sport that I follow as closely as others, and I don't handicap it very often. When there are sports that I'm not avidly following I find that I like to have little rules in my mind that I can use to quickly get a sense of how a team is performing - a snapshot of where they are at.

In the NFL, for example, I can get a sens ...  read more

Colt McCoy has a great game. He will have to be flawless out of the spread against the Tide D. If he is not then this could be a game like Nebraska where the offense struggles.

Central Michigan vs. Troy (+3, 63)

The GMAC Bowl game has been that bad game right before the good game. Reminds me of going to a concert and you have some no name bands opening for the big guys.

Cincinnati was fortunate to complete a perfect regular season on Dec. 5. In Brian Kelly’s last game as the Bearcats’ head coach, UC erased a 31-10 first-half deficit and then responded to a late Pittsburgh touchdown to stun the Panthers, 45-44, at Heinz Field.  

The Buckeyes already owned a Big Ten title, but in their Nov. 21 conference finale against Michigan, there was hardly reason to relax. One of college football’s most storied rivalries demanded a full-tilt effort, and that’s what Jim Tressel’s team provided in ...  read more
