Phil Steele of Northcoast Sports Buries Squares, Sharps Win With UAB

Thanks to Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com, the top sports betting site in the world, sharp players continue to roll led by Alabama Birmingham this afternoon.

However, thanks to Phil Steele of Northcoast Sports, the sportsbooks recovered some of their losses.

Steele feel into the ultimate sucker bet, gifting the bookmakers with his Game of the Month a Boston College team shut out by the clearly superior Virginia Tech team. “Phil is the nutty professor in handicapping,” said Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate and the power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine.  “He had great info, but no idea how to use it.”

Professional gamblers raked in the profits with this report from Joe Duffy of GodsTips.

Wise Guy pick is on:

UAB +14 Tennessee

If this is not a sandwich game, there is not such thing. Tennessee has just played Oregon and Florida, both Top 10 teams. The next two weeks are at LSU and at Georgia. They finally get an off week, then play Alabama.

How the heck can the Vols get all fired up for this game? Now they play a team that is sky high. The Blazers have already proven they can be dangerous with their second-half rally to beat Troy last week on the last play of the game, a 44-yard touchdown pass. They trailed 23-0 in the first half before coming back to win 34-33.

What a building block game for Alabama-Birmingham. Coach Neil Callaway inherited a struggling UAB team low on experience, and the Blazers have gone from winning just two games in 2007, his first year as coach, to winning five games last year.

“I know their two coordinators and their head coach very well, and I have a lot of respect for them,” Dooley said. “They’re four years into their program. This is what you see your fourth year: they’ve got a deep team, they have 17 starters returning and they’ve played in these kind of games so they’re not going to be starry-eyed.”

The Blazers had just 63 scholarship players in 2007, a situation Dooley can commiserate with now. The Vols have 76 scholarship players after awarding a few to walk-on players at the begging of the season.

Several starters are out with injuries, leaving a thin offensive line that’s struggled to both protect Simms and open holes for running backs Tauren Poole and David Oku and an undersized defensive line that couldn’t stop Florida’s passing game.

That doesn’t bode well for facing Ellis, who came off the bench against Troy after starter David Isabelle struggled. Ellis completed 23 of 37 for 360 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters.

Duffy reports that Sunday is the biggest NFL betting card this year.

It’s time for even more free college football picks including another from ScoresOddsPicks of OffshoreInsiders.com

No. 22 West Virginia at No. 15 LSU (-9.5) – Saturday at 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN2

So far, so good for LSU coach Les Miles. Supposedly, Miles was under a bit of pressure to take care of business this season, and he’s led his squad to a 3-0 start (2-1 against the spread). That said, the Tigers haven’t faced a legitimate challenge yet this season, unless you count suspension-depleted North Carolina in Week 1. LSU looks fantastic on defense so far, including an impressive 11 sacks. Quarterback is a major source of consternation, however, as Jordan Jefferson is averaging about 120 yards a game.

West Virginia (3-0, 1-1 ATS), meanwhile, is comfortably adapting to its newfound offensive balance. Geno Smith has brought a dynamic the Mountaineers have never seen—he leads the Big East in passing. Throw in explosive back Noel Devine, and you’ve got a great offense. For the most part, the Mountaineers have looked dominant on “D,” racking up a ton of sacks and stuffing the run. They’re prone to lapses, though, as evidenced by touchdown passes of 60, 80 and 96 yards in the past two games.

Neither team has really proved itself yet, but the Mountaineers look very sharp. Devine has rushed for 100 yards in three straight contests yet hasn’t even really asserted himself. West Virginia’s biggest weakness is the explosive pass play—something Jefferson has no hope in exploiting, if history is any indication. Take West Virginia.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Saturday has Baltimore at Toronto, Texas at Oakland, Boston at the Yankees, Minnesota at Detroit, Kansas City at Cleveland, the White Sox at the Angels, and Seattle at Tampa Bay. Doug Fister (6-12, 3.83 ERA) is expected to get the ball for the Mariners in that last contest, while Matt Garza (14-9, 4.01 ERA) is slated to pitch for the Rays. Righthander Fister dazzled the Rangers in his most recent trip to the mound, surrendering just one run on nine hits over his seven innings of work in a win. Righthander Garza will be looking to bounce back from a loss to the Yankees in which he gave up seven runs (five earned) in his five innings pitched.

Barry Zito (9-13, 3.98 ERA) takes the hill for the Giants on Saturday, while the Rockies are expected to counter with Jason Hammel (10-8, 4.56 ERA). Lefthander Zito snapped a seven-game losing streak in his most recent start, holding the Brewers to two runs on three hits over his six innings pitched. Righthander Hammel last pitched against the Dodgers on September 19, allowing four runs on six hits over four innings in that game.

Sports Picks: Alabama vs. Auburn, Oregon State vs. Boise State, South Carolina vs. Auburn

Alabama vs. Auburn, Oregon State vs. Boise State, South Carolina vs. Auburn are all big NCAA football picks and the top offshore sportsbook takes a betting look.

Bodog says that easily the game of the day Saturday in college football is in Fayetteville in one of the Arkansas program’s biggest games ever as the No. 10 Hogs host defending national champion and top-ranked Alabama. The Tide are 7.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA Football Odds and there is live betting available.

This game marks the first time two Top-10 teams have met in Fayetteville since 1979 and it’s the start of an incredibly brutal stretch for the Tide, with games against current Top 12 teams Florida and South Carolina to follow. But first things first, and that’s dealing with Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett, who would probably jump into the Heisman lead with a big game. And Mallett no doubt wants to make amends for last year’s 35-7 loss to Alabama in which he entered leading the nation in passing efficiency but went just 12-for-35 for 160 yards, one touchdown and one interception. This season Mallett enters third in passer rating and leads the country with 1,081 yards through the air. However, the Alabama defense ranks second in the nation in pass-efficiency defense, although the Tide really haven’t played anyone yet – obviously Penn State is solid but the Nittany Lions started a true freshman QB.

While Alabama’s defense still might be a bit of a question mark in replacing nine starters from last year, the offense has been clicking. The Tide are fourth nationally in total offense, ninth in scoring offense and have produced 24 plays of 20 yards or longer, which is tops in the nation. And reigning Heisman winner Mark Ingram is healthy, as he showed by rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries last week against Duke in his season debut. The Hogs’ defense is 10th nationally and appears leaps and bounds better than last year’s unit.

Arkansas is 4-11 all-time against the nation’s top-ranked team, but two of those wins have come against an SEC team in Fayetteville, where Alabama is just 3-4 all-time.

Top expert pick on this game:  A 2-0 Friday sweep with the 300,000* Dodgers and the 200,000* Giants as I’m now on a 9-4 run which has now netted 1.5 million* of profit this week! I have three phenomenal college football winners today but that is the smallest part of this day for me. I am releasing early and for a reason, yes for a reason, the Sunday night game between the Jets and Dolphins because of how this line is going to move. I can sense it and know what’s going to happen so I implore you to get this monster 500,000* lock before you lose out. I truly do not think I have ever been in love with an NFL game the way I am in love with this one from South Beach.

500,000* New York-Miami plus a trio of college locks. 300,000* Oklahoma-Cincinnati, 200,000* Alabama-Arkansas and Oregon-Arizona State. Come and get it or be pissed at yourself tomorrow that you didn’t! Get Matt Rivers entire card now

Now one of the few sportsbooks to get the most prestigious honor of the all, “Sportsbook of the Year” by OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at today’s top betting action.

Also sharing spotlight during the afternoon Saturday, South Carolina and Auburn meet in an equally important conference game between ranked foes on Saturday night. What a day for football fans in Alabama! Auburn is a 3-point favorite on Bodog’s NCAA odds for this one and there will be live betting available.

This game features three of the most exciting first-year players in the country in South Carolina freshman running back Marcus Lattimore and Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton and freshman running back Michael Dyer.

Lattimore, a true freshman who was arguably the top recruit in the country this past spring, has carried 77 times for 333 yards and five touchdowns so far. His 111.0 yards per game average ranks second in the SEC. Lattimore wasn’t even the starter in Week 1 but then stamped himself a future superstar by carrying the ball 37 times for 182 yards and two touchdowns against Georgia two weeks ago. QB Stephen Garcia has also been good, completing more than 68 percent of his passes for 508 yards and is second on the team with 68 yards rushing with two TDs. But Garcia is 1-6 away from home as a starter in his career.

Newton is a former backup to Tim Tebow who then went to junior college before transferring to Auburn. He ranks fourth in the country in passer rating and is fifth in the SEC in rushing at 103 yards per game. Dyer, a true freshman himself and also a top recruit this past spring, has rushed for 202 yards and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Auburn leads the SEC in rushing while South Carolina is No. 1 against the run.

These two schools have only met nine times and South Carolina has just one victory. They have played just four times since the Gamecocks joined the SEC and Auburn is 4-0. This is the first matchup between the two when both are ranked – and Auburn has proven tough to beat in home night games against ranked opponents, with the Tigers going 4-1 in the past five.

Unfortunately for Boise State, it not only has to win out to possibly play in a national championship game, it has to win out and be impressive doing it. And that goes double for Saturday night’s game against Oregon State because the Beavers are the last ranked and BCS conference team left on Boise’s schedule. The Broncos are 18-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA odds.

Oregon State has already flunked one test against a non-BCS conference powerhouse as it was beaten 30-21 by TCU in the opener. Thus a win tonight would actually help Boise just by dinging TCU’s strength of schedule because the Frogs have national title hopes as well. To prepare for the infamous blue turf, Oregon State actually painted its practice field blue this week.

Boise State is 26-0 at home under coach Chris Petersen, it has beaten the Beavers the last two times they visited Boise and it hasn’t lost a regular-season game since 2007. The Broncos are 4-0 against ranked BCS teams under Petersen and have actually won 56 straight regular-season games at home. QB Kellen Moore, a leading Heisman contender, is a stupid 28-1 in his career. Oregon State’s pass defense hasn’t been good this year and the Beavers are awful at sacking the QB (two sacks so far this year).

It’s probably not wise to expect much from Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz as he makes his first true road start (that TCU game was at a neutral site). Katz has been good at not turning the ball over but is completing just 47.1 percent of his passes and hasn’t topped 159 yards in his two starts. Thus the Beavers will rely heavily on Heisman Trophy candidate Jacquizz Rodgers, who ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns last week in a win over Louisville. TCU held him pretty well in check with 75 yards rushing. OSU has won 20 of its past 22 when a player runs for 100 yards. However, Boise State is No. 2 in the nation against the run, allowing just 53.5 yards per game and 1.49 yards per carry.

No. 12 South Carolina at No. 17 Auburn (-3) – Saturday at 7:45 p.m. ET on ESPN

South Carolina has been outstanding this season, winning its first three games and going perfect against the spread (2-0 ATS). To a large extent, though, the Gamecocks remain unscathed in spite of their quarterback, Stephen Garcia. The junior excelled in the season opener against Southern Mississippi but has been rather average since then; that won’t cut it against a top squad like Auburn. The defense looked a little shaky against Furman, allowing some big plays through the air, but it did record seven sacks.

Auburn (3-0, 1-2 ATS) has won its last two games by a combined six points. Worse yet, the Tigers failed to score a single point in the fourth quarters of either of those match ups. Running quarterback Cameron Newton is expected to get more opportunities to throw the ball this week (he has just 28 pass attempts in the last two games). On the other side of the football, the Tigers have been surprisingly competent.

Despite being undefeated, neither team inspires a ton of confidence. This will likely come down to who makes the fewest mistakes. Considering how Garcia has played so far, it won’t be South Carolina. Bet on Auburn against the NCAA point spread

No. 1 Alabama (-7) at No. 10 Arkansas – Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS

Are the Razorbacks (3-0, 1-1 ATS) for real? They sure look like it. Arkansas is coming off an impressive 31-24 victory in Georgia. Ryan Mallet racked up some brilliant Heisman-worthy highlights; he tossed three touchdown passes, including a 40-yard game winner with 15 seconds remaining. Surprisingly, the defense has been just as good. Expected to be an Achilles’ heel in 2010, the “D” has arguably been the best in the SEC. Arkansas has come up with big play after big play, particularly when it comes to rushing the passer (the Razorbacks lead the SEC in sacks per game at 4.0).

Alabama looks like a runaway freight train. Some fans were worried when it was announced Heisman winner Mark Ingram would miss the first few games of the season. The Tide simply plugged in more talent and continued thrashing opponents on the ground. Ingram made his 2010 debut last week and ripped off a 48 yard run on his first carry; he finished with 151 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries, proving he’s in mid-season form. On the other side of the ball, Bama needs to tighten up against the run after allowing some lackluster competition a little breathing room.

Thankfully for Crimson Tide fans, Arkansas’ bread and butter is the pass. The Razorbacks are about to run into a buzzsaw; Bama crushed them 35-7 last year and 49-14 the year before. Arkansas wasn’t supposed to be this good on defense, and now we’ll find out if it’s legit. Until we do, you’re safer picking Alabama to continue its dominance.
