Washington State-Baylor and Kansas-South Florida Betting Notes

Leave a comment

Here is the official betting previews for the Friday night card, Kansas-South Florida and Washington State-Baylor, which was moved up because of impending Hurricane Ike.

Kansas-South Florida

The Big East is just 3-8 against FBS teams and 0-4 to BCS conference squads by an average loss of almost four touchdowns per game. According to Cy McCormick, head of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com, the defenses have an advantage. “The quarterbacks are very similar and the strength of each team. However the defenses won’t be caught off guard because they’ve practiced against the near carbon copies.”

The Jayhawks have won their first two games by an average of 69-10, yet they average just 3.7 yards per carry. The struggles have a lot to do with two new starting tackles, according to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com.

Here are spread betting trends with all records against the spread. The Jayhawks are 7-0 after allowing less than 170 yards passing last game. They are 10-1 following a game in which they allowed less than 20 points and 17-5 off a win.

South Florida is 9-2 at home and 6-2 off ATS loss. However, the Bulls are 0-5 against teams with a winning record.

Totals trends see the Jayhawks having gone under 6-1 against teams with a winning record. South Florida has gone over all seven off a straight up win, but under 10-3 after allowing less than 170 yards passing last game.

Should you ask who to bet on in this game, as per usual, the top sports service in America GodsTips has the answer.   

GodsTips is the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com and has the first College Football Game of the Year of the Year going Friday on the Kansas-South Florida game as the Friday Night Nonconference Game of the Year.

Oh North Carolina starts the week off with another ho-hum winner. GodsTips has had winning weeks 5-of-6 in football and is now 18-8 the last two weeks. Click now to purchase both Friday night sides.

Last year, Georgia humiliated Hawaii as Hawaii as the Bowl Game of the Year. The football betting experts also nailed the Bowl Moneyline Game of the Year (Miss State +130 on Dec. 29), Regular Season Game of the Year in CFB (Nov. 22 USC 20-point winner to ASU laying three), NFL Game of the Year (Nov. 11 underdog Arizona beating Detroit by double digits).

Some of the other winners were: On Sept. 20, Miami Florida was the ESPN Game of the Year. Laying -2, they crushed Texas A&M 34-17. On Oct. 4, it was our Thursday Game of the Year on South Carolina -5 to Kentucky. They win by 15. October 13, it Penn State was the Big 10 Game of the Year. Laying seven, they smash Wisconsin by 31.

Finally on October 20, we had to sweat one.  Oct. 20 it was Florida beating Kentucky in the SEC Game of the Year. Then on Oct. 27, Tennessee squeaks one out against South Carolina as our Saturday ESPN Game of the Year.

Add to that, on Nov. 11 C-USA West Game of the Year on Tulsa, a bloodbath, while Cincinnati was a gift as our Big East GOY. Nov. 17 Kansas was our Big 12 edition and they win easily. But the biggest story of them all was on Nov. 22, USC laying just three points was the CFB Game of the Year. They win by 20!

Washington State-Baylor

Stevie Vincent, Senior Handicapper at OffshoreInsiders.com and head of BetOnSports360 says, “It seems too obvious, but the impending Hurricane Ike will be much more of a distraction to the Texas based Bears.” Washington State though has been outscored 105-16 in their first two games and now makes the long trek to Texas in a shorter week. They are consistent: next to last in total offense and last in pass efficiency and scoring defense.

Spread betting trends (against the spread) sees Washington State at 4-14 on the road off consecutive losses, while they’ve also gone over 25-11 after forcing a turnover.

As far as the top pick on the game: at press time MasterLockLine.com is compiling picks, but they report a large side and total from proven services are coming in. Check the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com for further details.

Football Handicapping: Tar Heels-Scarlet Knights

Leave a comment


North Carolina
travels to Rutgers to play the Scarlet Knights in the
only major sporting event in the New York
metropolitan area on the anniversary of 911.

It’s the second game for each team as the Tar Heels were
lackluster in a win to McNeese
State, while Rutgers
was dominated on national television by Fresno
State. Rutgers
is trying to live without all-everything Ray Rice.

Who has the biggest play on this game? The greatest
football service in the world is GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com
has had winning weeks 5-of-6 including preseason football. Yet another winning
weekend starts with a Major play on the side North Carolina-Rutgers. You
certainly want to get the four or five day pass. They will have a Wise Guy on
Kansas State-South Florida and the weekend is looking as good a usual at GodsTips.

The Tar Heels have lost 20 consecutive games straight up
outside the state of North Carolina.
They have three sophomores and a junior at cornerback and will be going up
against two players who had 1,000 or more receiving yards last year Kenny Britt
and Tiquan Underwood.

Here are some against the spread betting trends. North
Carolina is 0-5 to the Big East. Rutgers
is 10-2 in non-conference games, 8-3 to against teams with a winning record and
10-4 off ATS loss. However, the Scarlet Knights have lost five straight on
grass.

North Carolina
has gone over 15-of-22 on the road. Rutgers has gone
over 9-1 off a bye week.
