Texans Matt Schaub
The Texans at over 3 to 1 odds to win the AFC South offer a ton of value this year
The Tennessee Titans had a great run last year to come back after losing their first six games. Vince Young started his first game of the season in Week eight and let the team to an improbable 8-8 record despite the slow start.

Even with preseason NFL games, nothing can be easy.  This past weekend proved no exception. I e-mailed a friend of mine who covers an NFL team and wanted to get a gauge on the state of the team going into the Giants-Ravens game.  “Why would you bet on these preseason games?” was his response.  Quite frankly, I replied, that if you pick your spots, you can find some good spots. Unfortunately, he was no help with his game. I was on my own to pick out some good plays.  As usual, the NFL serves up more ups and downs than your county fair roller coaster.

Jacory Harris Miami Hurricanes FootballFor the first time in 34 years Bobby Bowden will not be patrolling the sidelines for Florida St, after “retiring” (or being forced out by the boosters after two disappointing seasons if you want to be honest) last season. Jimbo Fisher takes over the Seminoles, but Bowden left him with the talent to compete for a conference title. Clemson and Boston College are expected to be their main competition. Here is a look at the teams in the Atlantic Division. Odds to win the division and conference are in parentheses from Bodog.

The Arkansas Razorbacks look like a good Over college football pick on the regular season win lines
Every year sports books offer wagers on college football team regular season wins. You can bet over or under a certain amount of games, and conference championships and/or bowl games do not count. They are a fun way to wager that give you action all season. Sometimes it backfires due to injuries, as was the case with Oklahoma last season. The Sooners were a top 5 team and projected to get 10 or 11 wins and compete for a National Title. Of course everyone remembers what happened in the first game last season. Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Sam Bradford was injured against BYU. The Sooners lost that game and never recovered. They ended up with a disappointing 7-5 season before beating Stanford in the Sun Bowl. And by the same token, teams such as Iowa came out of nowhere and won 10 games last season. Here are 5 win totals I like. Odds are courtesy of Bodog, who offers a ton of college football betting options this season.

The Rays look to keep pace with the Yankees in playing the second game of this three-game set at Tropicana Field.

Toronto Blue Jays at Tampa Bay Rays

Toronto fell 6-2 in the series opener against the Rays at Tropicana Field, with a costly error by second baseman Aaron Hill proving too difficult to fight back from.  “I’m not going to fault my guys for playing hard,” Monday night’s starter Brett Cecil said.  “I’ve got to take it upon myself.”  The Blue Jays had won four straight against the Rays in the season series, but now trail 7-6 with last night’s loss.  Offensively, the team has been led by outfielder Jose Bautista, recently named AL Player of the Week for August 23-29.  Over those seven days, he hit .500 with eight extra-base hits and four home runs.  Bautista currently leads the majors with 42 home runs.  The club owns a 33-36 mark away from the Rogers Centre this season, including a 12-11 record on the road.  Toronto is a disappointing 7-13 as a road underdog of +125 to +150 this season (-360) and the total is 10-9 O/U in those contests.

The Ravens are the bookmakers favorite in the AFC North Odds
The AFC North will be an interesting division. The Bengals showed last year that they are back, the Ravens added some new weapons to their team, and the Steelers will miss Ben Roethlisberger for the first six games. The Browns got rid of Brady Quinn, but have a bunch of quarterbacks on their roster. It will be interesting to see who gets to start in Cleveland.

Big 12 Football
Texas & Nebraska Are 2 of the 3 top teams in the Big 12
Though big changes are on the horizon for the Big 12 as long time conference members Nebraska and Colorado bolt for the Big 10 and Pac 10 respectively next year, expect two things to remain constant this season. One, the Big 12 will still be one of the elite conferences in the country, and the conference title race will come down to three teams Oklahoma, Texas, and  Nebraska. Players from the conference were 4 of the top 5 players taken in this year’s NFL draft, a feat never accomplished by any conference in history. Though it is difficult if not impossible to replace such talent as Sam Bradford, Ndomukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Trent Williams, Russell Okung, Dez Bryant, and Colt McCoy, a Big 12 team has a good shot of playing for the BCS national championship. Here is a look at the teams from the Big 12 South Division. Odds to win the division and the conference are in parentheses.  Odds are taken from Bodog.
