Quarterback Rotations

Bet at 5Dimes

The top sports handicapping site OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at news and notes, which includes NFL preseason quarterback rotations, plus our first look at a windfall of a college football season. All games are for Thursday action to beat the sportsbooks.

Panthers-Steelers

Carolina is expected to allow third string quarterback fight for his life and play most if not all of the second half. It is uncertain whether the Panthers will carry two or three quarterbacks. Jake Delhomme and Matt Moore are locked in as one and two.

The Steelers are expected to give a lot of playing time to backup QB Byron Leftwich to allow the newly acquired vet learn the offense. Rookie Dennis Dixon should also get a long look-see.

The Steelers starters will play about a quarter but no longer. This includes Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu.

Titans-Packers

Tennessee is expected to play their starters into the third quarter while Green Bay‘s first stringers will get about 10 snaps. This means the Packers will have two rookies at QB for the remainder of the game: Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn.

The Preseason Perfect Play Parlay of the Quarter Century goes Thursday. Perfect Play means an angle that is a 100 percent angle, with a minimum of 10 games. Get three Level 5 NFLX play in all for Thursday. Click now to purchase

Bears-Browns

The Bears starters will get a token appearance. Sources say Brian Urlacher and Mike Brown may not play at all.

This includes two Wise Guy plays. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. This is just fact.  Click now to purchase

Lions-Bills

Lions coach Rod Marinelli said a “few” starters may sit out tonight. Newly signed QB Drew Henson is expected to play about a quarter behind center for Detroit.

Patriots-NY Giants

Middling handicapper Oscar Dooley will note this is a rematch of the Super Bowl, but we don’t expect any revenge factor. New England is very deep and running back and will likely keep the ball on the ground as they decide final roster spots.

Bengals-Colts

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is out. However both RB Rudi Johnson and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh are expected to get their first snaps of the preseason. Often confused head coach Marvin Lewis is not sure how much each will play. WR Chad Johnson is not expected to play.

Vikings-Cowboys

Minnesota is not expected to play starters on either side of the ball. Neither of their top two QB Tarvaris Jackson or Gus Frerotte is expected to play. That means two big question marks will play tonight: struggling rookie John David Booty and journeyman Brooks Bollinger.

The Pokes starters are expected to play little if any, including playboy Tony Romo, who is unlikely to suit up. In fact, third-string QB Richard Bartel is expected to play the whole game.

Jets-Eagles

Starting QB for the Jets, Brett Favre, are not expected to play at all. However, the Eagles may actually play their starters as head coach Andy Reid claims he’s undecided. History says they won’t play according to Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com

Jaguars-Redskins

Jacksonville will likely play their starters one or two series. New head coach Jim Zorn reports that he will play the Redskins starters so they can get in a groove for the regular season.

Sports Betting and Dancing With the Stars

Leave a comment

Sports Betting at the Sportsbook

Baseball dominates the sports schedule again on Wednesday, with the Yankees hosting the BoSox in one of the marquee games. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .

Event of the day . . .

The Red Sox are leading the Wild Card race in the American League (with the Rays still comfortably holding down first place in the AL East), but the Yankees will be looking to make up some ground in their quest for yet another postseason berth when they continue their three-game home series against their bitter rival on Wednesday night.

Boston is expected to send recently-acquired Paul Byrd (8-11, 4.61 ERA) to the mound for this contest. Byrd has managed to pick up the win in five of his past six outings, and oddly he’s faced the Blue Jays in each of his last three starts (going 2-1). The righthander last took on the Yankees back on May 8, giving up five runs in a defeat.

New York has Sidney Ponson (7-4, 4.67 ERA) on tap for Wednesday night’s matchup, and the righthander is coming off a brutal outing against Toronto in which he gave up seven earned runs on eight hits over just two innings of work. Ponson is just 1-3 over his past six starts, and he was pummeled by Boston for seven runs back on July 27.

Non sports betting event of the day…

Yesterday we told you have Dancing With the Stars odds were already posted. Today the same sportsbook believes there could be some backstage kissing.

We have gotten a few suggestions as Desi Foxx for our OffshoreInsiders.com hottie, but we are a family oriented site. Foxx is as filthy as Amy Fisher, the real hillbilly house wife, just easier on the eyes. We will add Mia Tyler and Liv Tyler though.

Political betting…

As the world awaits President Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention, the political betting odds are temporarily off the board. According to Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy the Hurricane Gustav projected path could also greatly affect the election.

“If the hurricane hits New Orleans and the federal government shows they’ve learned from the blunders of Katrina, this could take a lot of the sting out of Barack Obama’s attack dogs making this election focused as much on George Bush as John McCain,” says Duffy.

Non-event of the day . . .

The Rangers have been terrible in August, and the Royals have been terrible for many, many years. Those two teams will meet on the field in Kansas City on Wednesday night in the finale of a three-game series. Matt Harrison (5-3, 6.27 ERA) will get the ball for Texas in that contest, while Brian Bannister (7-13, 5.89 ERA) will pitch for Kansas City.

Also on the schedule . . .

It’ll be Fausto Carmona (6-5, 4.40 ERA) vs. Justin Verlander (10-13, 4.42 ERA) in the Indians/Tigers game on Wednesday. Also on the AL‘s slate for the day: Minnesota at Seattle, the White Sox at Baltimore, Toronto at Tampa Bay, and Oakland at the Angels.

There are two key divisional battles in the National League on Wednesday night, with the Mets at Philadelphia and Milwaukee at St. Louis. Filling out the Senior Circuit’s schedule: the Cubs at Pittsburgh, Arizona at San Diego, the Dodgers at Washington, Florida at Atlanta, Cincinnati at Houston, and Colorado at San Francisco.

News from the wire . . .

The White Sox activated third baseman Joe Crede from the disabled list on Monday . . . . the Mets have second baseman Luis Castillo back from the DL, but pitcher John Maine is now on the shelf . . . Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz homered and drove in three runs in his return to the big leagues on Monday . . . Bengals running back Rudi Johnson, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, is reportedly on the team’s trading block.

Peek at the future . . .

The NFL’s preseason schedule concludes on Thursday and Friday this week . . . the WNBA returns to action on Thursday night; the league was on a break during the Olympics . . . Phil Mickelson is pegged as the 6/1 Vegas favorite to get the win in the PGA Tour’s Deutsche Bank Championship, which gets underway Friday morning.

We have gotten a few questions about Adam Meyer of Adamwins.com. Many think his name is Adam Myers because of the radio spots. Cy McCormick of the top sports handicapper’s consensus site MasterLockLine.com reports that Adam Meyer is a decent Pac-10 handicapper, though “Not in the same league with Mark the Shark” reports McCormick, referring to the top west coast handicapper.

Adam Wins has only one Top 25 finish when he was ranked 19th in the NFL in 2004. “His radio show is decent but he does not exactly have the sportsbooks shaking in their boots,” laughs McCormick.
