NLCS Game 3 Odds, NFL Spread Picks Headline Sunday

The Yankees-Angles game 2 did end eventually and MLB and NFL weather tops what NFL point spread and MLB odds players are checking. Sports fans await the first 2009 BCS standings.

The free pick section has NFL spread picks posted today and look back earlier in the week. Sharp bettors check that section several times a day. Most importantly, the elite handicappers have week 6 NFL expert picks against the spread up now.

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Vikings host the Ravens, the Saints get a visit from the Giants, and the Dodgers and Phillies play Game 3 of the NLCS.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The Saints and Giants will each be trying to knock the other out of the ranks of the unbeaten on Sunday afternoon when they take the field in New Orleans. The Saints (4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS) had a bye last week; they last played two weeks ago, when they got past the Jets 24-10. The Giants (5-0 SU, 4-0-1 ATS) bounced the Raiders 44-7 last Sunday. The oddsmakers have made New Orleans a small 3-point favorite at home for this matchup, with the game’s total listed at 47 points.

Other 1:00pm ET games for Sunday: Houston at Cincinnati (-5), Detroit at Green Bay (-13.5), St. Louis at Jacksonville (-9.5), Cleveland at Pittsburgh (-14), Carolina (-3) at Tampa Bay, Kansas City at Washington (-6.5), and Baltimore at Minnesota (-3). The Vikings (5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) will be trying to run their Favre-led winning streak to six games on Sunday; they beat the Rams 38-10 last time out.

The late-afternoon games on Sunday are Philadelphia (-14) at Oakland, Arizona at Seattle (-3), Buffalo at the Jets (-9.5), and Tennessee at New England (-9), with the primetime matchup featuring Chicago at Atlanta (-3). The Bears (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) had no trouble with the lowly Lions in their last contest, cruising to a 48-24 home win. The Falcons (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) romped to a 45-10 road win over the Niners last week; Matt Ryan threw for 329 yards and two scores in that game.

As well, there are two Canadian Football League games on the Sunday slate, with Hamilton at Montreal (-12.5), and then British Columbia at Winnipeg (-1.5).

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The Dodgers and Phillies will play Game 3 of the National League Championship Series in Philadelphia on Sunday, with Hiroki Kuroda taking on Cliff Lee in the mound matchup. Righthander Kuroda will be making his 2009 postseason debut in this contest; he last pitched on September 28, giving up seven runs in four innings vs. the Pirates. Lefthander Lee pitched twice against the Rockies in the NLDS, surrendering four runs over 16 1-3 innings in those two victories for Philly. BetUs Sportsbook has the Phillies -170.

Roaring around the track . . .

Finally, the drivers of the Formula 1 series race for the second-last time this season when they hit the track in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon. Jenson Button holds a 14-point lead on Brawn-Mercedes teammate Rubens Barrichello in the drivers championship heading into Brazil, while RBR-Renault’s Sebastian Vettel is 16 points back in third place. Vettel won the Japanese Grand Prix last time out, and Felipe Massa took the checkered flag in this race last year.

NFL Free Picks Against Betting Spread: Steelers over Browns

Matt Rivers who was the winningest handicapper ever on a large network of handicapping sites before being promoted to The Show at OffshoreInsiders.com   

He has the sportsbooks backpedaling following yet another sweep in football Saturday. Today he has a comp winner on the Steelers (minus 14 at BetUs) vs. Cleveland
 
No doubt it’s extremely hard for me to pull the trigger on laying such a gaudy number in the NFL but with Troy Polamalu and Rashard Mendenhall expected to be playing today and after seeing the Browns just complete two whole passes in Buffalo how can this thing be competitive? Seriously? This is the epitome of a mismatch.
 
Derek Anderson is not close to the same guy from a few seasons back and the Browns all in all are horrific and inept. They finally did win that last game in
Buffalo but this team has nothing at all after trading away Braylon Edwards and this is the game that the reigning champions get healthy in. Josh Cribbs can be electric but that’s it, period and if you don’t thin one of the best defenses on the planet will not let Cribbs get off than you are crazy.
 
Pittsburgh certainly has had some issues closing games out but today they put the hammer down and win this thing going away, I’m talking like 37-3 type of a game. Aaron Smith’s injury obviously is not great, I realize that, but with Polamalu back and Mike Tomlin’s group ready to explode after some late game meltdown/letdowns today is the perfect spot for them to take their frustrations out.
 
Eric Mangini’s squad is going to have a rough rough time just getting a first down no less actually moving the ball and being able to go up the field. If they could only complete two passes against the mediocre at the very very best Bills then I say good luck to them today here against the big bad rested Steelers.
 
On the other side Big Ben is great and will prove it with Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward and all of his other weapons doing their thing.
 
It is certainly very squarish and unlike me to lay such a number but if there was ever a game that was a total woodshed this is it.
