College Football Handicapping: Totals Analysis For Week 8

Posted on by Grant Van Sant in College Football,Headlines

California and Arizona State's total is listed at only 53 points
Statistics tell only part of the story when looking at totals. Some times, it’s the pace of the game or even the history of the series.  Take the Arizona State-California game. The total is a moderate 53 points. The over for Arizona State is only 2-2, but the Sun Devils have posted some good offensive numbers. They score 32.8 points and gain 455 yards on 76 plays. They allow 21.7 points and 403 total yards.  Cal also posts some decent numbers as it scores 32.2 points and gains 378 total yards on 64 plays a game. It allows 21.2 points.  Historically, the over has not fared well as in their last five meetings; the over is 1-4. Only twice in that span did they combine for more than 50 points.

NFL Football Handicapping: Breaking Down the Total Lines for Week 7

Posted on by Grant Van Sant in Headlines,Sports Handicapping

The Chargers and Pats total is listed at 47 this Sunday
When the Patriots travel to face the Chargers, you will see of the highest totals of the weekend at 46 ½. That’s for good reason. Normally, these teams can light up the scoreboard.  The Patriots started the Moss-less era by beating the Baltimore Ravens, 23-20. That game barely went under, but posting 23 points against the stingy Ravens is a good accomplishment. That was the Patriots first under this season. The Patriots score 30.8 points a game, while giving up 23.2 points. Look for those trends to continue.

College Football Handicapping: Week 6 Totals Analysis

Week 5 college football totals betting
Super Freshmen Marcus Lattimore leads the Gamecocks running game in which could lead to an under this weekend
When looking at the totals, you have to take a lot of things into account. Not only offense, but defense, special teams, but also account for style of play and history of the series.  When Alabama travels to face South Carolina, it may be hard for them to get to the over for 48. Two of their last three meetings have gone under the total.  The over is 1-4 for Alabama, mainly because of their suffocating defense. The Tide scores 37.8 points a game, but gives up only 9 points game and 292 total yards.  The Gamecocks average 30.7 points, but rely on the ground game. They average 39 rushes and 168 rushing yards. For them to have success against Alabama, they will rush the ball and shorten the game. That points to an under.

When you look at a game, something has to give. Such is the case with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts.  The total is 44, which is low for a Colts game, especially at home, but a little higher than you like with the Chiefs.  The over for the Chiefs is 1-2, while for the Colts is 3-1. The Chiefs have been relying on defense and special teams, giving up 12.7 points and 313 total yards.

Posted on by Grant Van Sant in Baseball,Headlines

Oswalt coming over has made the Phils a monster for teams to contend with this post season
The Cincinnati Reds, who won the NL Central, are making their first playoff appearance since 1995. And, for that effort, they get to face the Philadelphia Phillies.  The Phillies have won their fourth straight NL East title, and are trying to win the pennant for the third straight time. The Phillies were seven games back of the Atlanta Braves in July, but made a push and won the East by six games. The Reds were not expected to hang on, but the St. Louis Cardinals faded in the second half of the season and were not a threat in September.

Texas Rangers Vs Tampa Bay Rays Betting Odds & Preview

Posted on by Grant Van Sant in Baseball,Headlines

The Tampa Bay Rays finished the American League with the best record and that gives them home-field advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs. But because the wild-card team is in their division (Yankees), the Rays do not get to face the wild-card team.  They get the Texas Rangers and left-handed ace Cliff Lee in the opener. It hardly seems fair.
