The Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be one of the most exciting games to listen to on XM/Sirius NFL broadcasts in the Guy Store but it’s a good opportunity for bettors.

The Panthers are -3 on the NFL point spread with a total of 40. Who will have the biggest NFL expert picks? Perhaps Stevie Vincent, AKA the Great One.  Stevie Vincent is the former Executive Editor of the scorephone Tailgate Parties, which were the reports every gambler flocked to in the pre-Internet days.

Two very evenly matched teams meet in the sportsbook when the Chicago Bears (3-1) visit the Atlanta Falcons (3-1). Atlanta crushed San Francisco 45-10 last week while the Bears are coming off a bye. They’re two weeks removed from a 48-24 win over Detroit.

Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons

Sunday, October 18 at 8:20 p.m. ET

NFL odds: Atlanta -3

The Falcons obviously got some issues sorted out during their bye since they looked fantastic against the Niners last weekend. The 45-10 demolishing showcased a balanced, attacking offense; Michael Turner rolled up 97 yards and three touchdowns before being pulled while Roddy White hauled in eight passes for 210 yards and two scores. Matt Ryan, who looked a little shaky against the Patriots a few weeks ago, bounced back with 329 yards and two touchdown passes. The second-year pro also avoided taking a single sack on the day.

Atlanta’s defense was very active, racking up three sacks, six hits on the quarterback and three takeaways. The run defense, however, remains a serious concern. The Falcons are allowing nearly 130 yards per game on the ground, not to mention a troublesome 4.9 yards per carry. All of it is coming in small gashes, as Atlanta has allowed just two runs of 20 yards or more.

That’s something the Bears, coming off a bye, will likely try taking advantage of. Running back Matt Forte, who struggled during the first few weeks, blew up against the Lions, carrying 12 times for 121 yards and a touchdown. Forte will be assisted by Jay Cutler, who has quelled much of the panic in the Chicago area after his disastrous debut against Green Bay. Since that four-interception debacle Cutler has tossed seven touchdowns and just one pick.

Defensively, the Bears have been solid if unspectacular; they’re allowing 19.5 points per game and taking care of business with an excellent pass rush. Two weeks ago, against Detroit, the Bears racked up five sacks and two takeaways. Sports betting software shows the rush defense has been especially good, holding opponents to just 93 yards per game.

Atlanta looks like a well-oiled machine after the impressive win over San Francisco but Chicago has a chance to do the same after resting in Week 5. These teams feel very evenly matched but, so far, the Falcons offense has proven more explosive (and the defense hasn’t allowed many long runs either). In a close game big plays often decide the victor; in this case, that should be Atlanta. Bet on the Falcons with your sports picks.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The lone college football game on the Wednesday schedule has unbeaten No. 5 Boise State on the road against Tulsa. The Broncos (5-0 straight-up, 4-1 against-the-spread) took out cupcake opponent California-Davis last time out, winning 34-16 on the strength of three Kellen Moore TD passes. The Golden Hurricane (4-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) knocked off Rice 27-10 in their last contest. The oddsmakers prefer ranked Boise State in this contest, as they’re listed as 10-point road faves.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

There are five games on the National Hockey League’s schedule for Wednesday, including Minnesota at Anaheim. The Wild dropped to 1-3-0 on the season last time out with a 4-2 loss to the Sharks. Andrew Brunette and Owen Nolan had the Minnesota goals in that game, while Niklas Backstrom made 25 saves. The Ducks are 2-2-1 on the season after getting blanked 3-0 by the Rangers on Sunday. Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 35 of 37 New York shots in that defeat.

Also on the ice on Wednesday: Pittsburgh at Carolina, Los Angeles at the Rangers, Edmonton at Chicago, and Nashville at Dallas. The Stars fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Canucks in their last game, getting goals from Mike Ribeiro, Jamie Benn, and Brad Richards in regulation time.

College football betting players always watch the annual “Red River Rivalry” as one of the two contenders usually has an edge in the Big 12 South, and in most cases, a spot in the BCS title game. This year’s battle between No.3 Texas and No.20 Oklahoma is no exception, as the Sooners try to keep their slim hopes alive, while the Longhorns aim to avoid a slip-up.

Texas vs Oklahoma Odds – Saturday, October 11, 12:00 PM ET

Texas (6-0, 2-0) romped to a 38-14 win over Colorado and Jordan Shipley was the star of the show as the receiver caught 11 passes for 147 yards and a score, while running back a punt 74 yards for a touchdown. Colt McCoy was 32-of-39 for 265 yards, a touchdown and a pick, and the Longhorns also got touchdowns from their defense and special teams. The defense may be the key to Texas’ odds in your offshore sportsbook: the Longhorns are fourth in the country and held Colorado to 127 yards.

Sam Bradford made a triumphant return to the lineup in Oklahoma’s (3-2, 1-0) 33-7 win, going 27-of-49 for 389 yards, a touchdown and a pick. The reigning Heisman winner looked a bit rusty to begin with, but he came on as the game progressed, and it doesn’t hurt that he has a great running game behind him as the Sooners ran for 203 yards. By comparison, they held Baylor to only six yards on the ground.

The Longhorns are a 3.5-point favorite in your handicapping software, and although they’ve dropped six of their last 10 overall to the Sooners, Texas has won three of the last four, including last year’s 45-35 shootout. The Longhorns have added motivation as well, as they lost out on the Big 12 title and a spot in the national-title game despite beating their rivals. Everyone will look to McCoy and Bradford, but it’s Shipley and the Texas defense that will be the stories. Shipley is arguably the best receiver in the nation, and the Texas defense has improved immensely. It won’t be a shootout like last year, but go with the Texas Longhorns in your sports picks.
