While Hurricane Earl’s path may wreck havoc in the opening weekend of NCAA Football Odds, Hurricane Matt Rivers has been destroying online bookmakers.

Your comp winner for Monday from Matt Rivers is on the NY Yankees -124 against Baltimore.

Joe Girardi’s boys already were missing Alex Rodriguez and just watched Mark Teixeira get injured yesterday. Losing those two All-Star superstars is not very conducive to winning ballgames but this is still the Yankees at home and at this cheap price even without those guys I’ll take my chances.

The A’s are all right and today’s pitcher in Trevor Cahill is in the midst of a breakthrough season. Cahill has allowed a whole four earned runs in his last six starts spanning a ton of innings. I can’t say anything negative at all about the guy because he has been total money. But today he is going to Yankee Stadium and even without their key cogs the New Yorkers are the better team and should prevail in the end.

Dustin Moseley has been successful in the starting role with the Pinstripers, no not 14-5 with a 2.43 era successful like Cahill, but he is good enough to minimize damage by this mediocre Oakland ballclub. Yes the A’s did just look pretty good in Arlington bashing the Rangers the last two nights but it’s still an average team with an average at best offense against the big bad 30 games over .500 Yankees, banged up or not.

Swisher, Jeter, Cano, Posada and the Yankees are still a great team and at home at this price with a competent enough hurler is enough to give them a go today.

Sports handicappers picks: NY Yankees -124.

If it looks like a Duck and quacks like one, it will win the Pac-10 this year.

The Oregon Ducks are a 5/2 favorite to win the Pac-10. Not only that, Oregon is expected to contend for a national championship (35/1 BCS odds). The Ducks are next in today’s college football preview.

LaMichael James will lead the offense. The sophomore running back is more explosive than a father catching his 16-year-old daughter and her boyfriend getting busy on the couch. Jackson racked up six 150-yard efforts last season. Quarterback is a question mark after Jeremiah Masoli was dismissed from the team; either fifth-year senior Nate Costa or sophomore Darron Thomas will take over under center.

The Ducks’ defense has very few holes. Tackle is a little thin but, besides that, everything looks rosy. End Kenny Rowe will lead the pass rush after notching 11.5 sacks a year ago. The linebackers are very deep—so deep, in fact, that Ricky Heimuli was moved to safety after starting last year.

All football bettors know that the Southeastern Conference is the top in all of college football. Now the top sportsbook previews and the world’s best college football betting service predicts the outcome.

The defending champion Alabama Crimson Tide are heavy favorites on NCAA football odds to win the SEC. Is a repeat on the horizon? This is your SEC Conference overview.

Alabama has 1/1 odds to win the SEC. It won’t necessarily be easy, however. This conference is always loaded with tough squads, and the Tide must rebuild a once-dominant defense. If that comes through, look out.

Florida is next with 5/2 odds. The Gators are, as always, one of the most talented teams in the nation. They might be too green to overtake Alabama this season, though, and are probably at least a year away from competing for a BCS Championship.

Auburn has 8/1 odds to win the SEC crown. LSU is next at 10/1, while Arkansas and Georgia have 13/2 and 15/2 odds, respectively. It looks like another extremely competitive year in the SEC, with the winner moving on to the national championship game.

Get your NCAA Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook! Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s expert take: I’m going to go way out on a limb. Yes, way out. It’s Florida and Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. The Gators get washed ashore by the high Tide.

It’s the start of the US Open tennis, the Big Bang Theory shows that sports handicapping has evolved to new levels never before approached.

David Nalbandian, Andy Murray, and Andy Roddick top favorites in men’s tennis.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Monday offers up the White Sox at Cleveland, Oakland at the Yankees, Texas at Kansas City, the Angels at Seattle, and Toronto at Tampa Bay. Brett Cecil (11-6, 3.80 ERA) will take on Wade Davis (10-9, 4.41 ERA) in that Jays/Rays matchup. Lefthander Cecil beat Tampa Bay back on August 6, giving up just one run on four hits over his seven innings of work and fanning nine. Righthander Davis is coming off a win over the Angels in which he surrendered two runs on six hits in his 5 1-3 innings of work and struck out five. Tampa is 6-1 in Davis’ last seven starts.

Over in the National League on Monday it’s then Washington at Florida, Milwaukee at Cincinnati, the Mets at Atlanta, Pittsburgh at the Cubs, St. Louis at Houston, San Diego at Arizona, Colorado at San Francisco, and Philadelphia at the Dodgers. Roy Halladay (16-9, 2.22 ERA) is slated to get the ball for the Phillies in that last contest, while Los Angeles counters with Hiroki Kuroda (9-11, 3.56 ERA). Righthander Halladay was tagged with a loss by the Astros last time out, giving up three runs on six hits over seven innings to stop his six-game winning streak. Righthander Kuroda is coming off a win over the Brewers in which he allowed four runs on seven hits over his seven innings.

Which team earns the right to play the Texas Longhorns or Oklahoma Sooners in the final year of the Big 12 a we know it? Bodog previews the best team in the Big 12.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have 15/1 odds to win the National Championship, meaning their final year in the Big 12 could be a big one. They’re next on our college football preview.

Bo Pelini’s resurrection of Nebraska (2/1 Big 12 odds) has made former coach Bill Callaghan look like a beer league softball coach. The Cornhuskers have gone from a joke to a legitimate title threat. Ten starters return on offense this year, though quarterback is admittedly shaky. Zac Lee will start the season under center, but he’ll be looking over his shoulder at sophomore Cody Green.

Nebraska will employ a quirky 4-2-5 defensive scheme geared to stopping the pass. The “D” lost some key players to graduation and the draft, none more important than defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. There should be enough replacement parts to keep the good times rolling, though.

Get your NCAA Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook! Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s expert take: Luckily in the inferior division of the Big 12, the Cornhuskers will waltz to the Big 12 Championship game against either Texas or Oklahoma.

Tim Bradford is in the NFL, but now it’s time to preview his Oklahoma Sooners.

The Oklahoma Sooners are next in line for today’s college football preview. They’re national title contenders (15/2 BCS Championship odds) and have a great shot to win the Big 12 South (20/23 odds).

The Sooners have to be feeling less appreciated than a housewife who normally cooks, cleans, and takes care of business in the bedroom, but forgot to pick up the dry cleaning once. Despite years of dominance, fans are restless after an eight-win season.

The defense should dominate. Oklahoma has few holes, save for a soft spot up the middle since tackle Gerald McCoy fled to the NFL. The linebackers are led by Travis Lewis, one of the best in the country, and safety Quinten Carter heads a good secondary.

Oklahoma can run the football behind five great linemen. DeMarco Murray is an explosive threat at tailback. Landry Jones should be better after filling in for the injured Sam Bradford last season.

Get your NCAA Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook! Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s expert take: Yet again, it comes down to Texas and Oklahoma. The Horns will hook ‘em as Oklahoma is a strong second best in the Big 12 South.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are the second most talented team in the nation behind Alabama. Bodog previews the Buckeyes year.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are almost always in the hunt, but they look like legit BCS Championship contenders this year (5/1 odds). Ohio State is next in today’s college football preview.

The Buckeyes look like a shoe-in to win the Big Ten with 2/5 odds. With 16 starters returning, they’re more loaded than Bill Gates. The defense, among the nation’s best in 2009, has a few question marks but returns seven starters. A greater pass rush will be key to going the distance this year. Overall, it’s somewhat of a no-name—but effective—unit.

If Terrell Pryor can be a little more accurate, the offense could go through the roof. Pryor completed 57 percent of his passes last year; anything north of 60 would be fantastic, especially considering he does so much work with his legs. The offensive line looks downright nasty with four starters returning.

Get your NCAA Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook! Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s expert take: The Buckeyes are easily the best team in the Big 10. All 14 of our projections have them winning the conference.
