ESPN Betting Picks Domination Continued With Arizona Wildcats

It was no surprise that Arizona crushed Toledo as ScoresOddsPicks.com had an ESPN Best Bet on Arizona and also added the under. They are now 31-13 in football betting, but that includes four humungous moneyline underdogs.

Hence, he’s +23.6 units on one unit per bet. So in the 44 picks, your wallet has the pro bettors record at the equivalent of 34-9 thanks to the underdog moneyline locks. They have another ESPN Best Bet winner on Oregon State vs. TCU. Oh the “Best Bet” is a “named play” which are 13-2 this football season going back to NFL preseason.

Here was the breakdown of the win, before the game. Their football picks are outlandish.

The Wildcats are the lone Pac-10 team yet to capture a conference championship, but there’s a good buzz in Arizona; they think this could be their year. They’re looking to start things off on the right foot as 15.5-point favorites against Toledo on Friday night.

Arizona (-15.5) at Toledo – Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET (ESPN)

There’s a lot to like on Arizona’s offense. Quarterback Nick Foles tossed 19 touchdowns as a junior last season, his first as a starter. Plenty of those scores went to receiver Juron Criner, a budding star. Criner is a tremendous big-play threat who really stretches the field. The Wildcats also have lots of depth at running back; Nic Grigsby is a home run hitter—though he’s injury prone—and Keola Antolin averaged 5.6 yards per carry last season.

Defensively, though, there are problems. Stopping the run could be a major issue, as the team is rebuilding at linebacker and defensive tackle. Opposing quarterbacks won’t have it easy, however; Ricky Elmore (10.5 sacks last year) and Brooks Reed (8.5 sacks in 2008) form a great duo at end. Throw in corner Trevin Wade, who picked off five passes last year, and you’ve got some potential to make things happen.

Toledo returns four starters on the offensive line but, for the most part, is rebuilding. Aaron Opelt was the starting quarterback for the past four years and replacing him will be no easy task. The receivers are also quite green besides Eric Page (1159 yards in 2009). There is some depth in the backfield, but no superstar talent at running back—certainly not enough to carry an offense, anyway.

The defense was awful last year, allowing over 400 yards per contest. Toledo was scored by the pass and allowed 26 touchdowns via the air. Truth be told, there’s not a lot to draw from on this side of the ball right now.

Arizona is in a different class than Toledo. The Wildcats have a potentially awesome offense, one that should have little trouble carving up the Rockets. Foles is on the verge of a breakout season and, with little help on the way for Toledo’s secondary, he has the perfect game to launch his 2010 campaign. Look for the Wildcats to take care of business and cover the 15.5-point spread. We also will see this game go under thanks to an Arizona defense that has gotten better. Arizona is a “named play” as an ESPN Best Bet.
