MLB Betting – Dodgers Look to Continue Recent Dominance of Padres on Wednesday Night

The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to continue their recent dominance over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night as MLB betting favorites in the sportsbook.

L.A. will hit the diamond with a chance for a 6th victory in 7 games over their SoCal rivals.

In order to accomplish that task, L.A. sends pitcher Hiroki Kuroda to the mound.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? Find out more exciting details HERE.]

After losing 3 straight games, Kuroda has been just short of brilliant in his last 2 starts allowing only 9 hits and 1 earned run in 14-innings of work.

No wonder he’s throwing for the baseball odds favorite in this game. Kuroda is 8 and 8 on the season with a 3.48 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP.

The 35-year-old former Japanese League star will have to keep himself from reverting back to his pre-All Star form.

Will he be able to do it and help the Dodgers cut into that 2 ½ game San Diego deficit in the N.L. West?

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres

Where: Petco Park, San Diego, CA

When: July 28th, 2010 at 10:05 pm EST

Padres – 4 San Diego

Radio: Dodgers – KABC 790, KHJ 930

Padres – XPRS 1090, XEPE 1700, XEMO 860

MLB Betting Odds

TV: Dodgers – PRIME

Los Angeles Dodgers Hiroki Kuroda – R +1 ½ -235 -110

San Diego Padres Clayton Richard – L -1 ½ +195 -110

The baseball wagering trends tell me that this is going to be one tough game to handicap.

• The Los Angeles Dodgers are 4 and 1 in Hiroki Kuroda’s last 5 starts as a favorite on the road.
• The Los Angeles Dodgers are 1 and 6 in Hiroki Kuroda’s last 7 starts as the baseball odds underdog.
• The San Diego Padres are 1 and 4 in Clayton Richard’s last 5 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
• The San Diego Padres are 9 and 2 in Clayton Richard’s last 11 starts versus a team with a winning record.

Richard’s stats aren’t that bad: 7 and 5, 3.57 ERA, 1.38 WHIP.

But he’s gotten pummeled in his last 2 starts, giving up 5 runs and 9 hits in only 6.1 innings of work against the Arizona D’Backs (a win by the Padres…but they scored 8 runs to do it!) and giving up 3 earned runs off of 9 hits in 6-innings of a 0 to 8 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Against the Dodgers, Richard has gone 1 and 0 for a 3.18 ERA. Against the Padres, Kuroda has gone 4 and 2 with a 4.91 ERA.

Kuroda’s stats against the Padres lead me to believe that the most basic of principles, the one that says a team can have another team’s number, comes into play in this series. L.A. just knows how to beat San Diego.

For some reason, the Padres have a hard time beating the L.A. Dodgers.

I don’t know why, but they do. I’m not going against such an obvious, almost mystical, trend!

L.A. should beat San Diego again tonight and are a good MLB betting pick in the sportsbook.

Oh, yes, the fact the Kuroda is pitching so well helps.

Apuestas Deportivas NFL: La AFC Sur Tiene Dueño

Una de las divisiones más parejas de la NFL es sin duda la AFC Sur, donde a pesar de que los Potros de Indianápolis son los grandes favoritos, sus rivales tendrán mucho que decir en esta temporada 2010.

Los Potros tienen discutiblemente el mejor mariscal de campo de la NFL en Peyton Manning y a pesar de esto los corredores de apuestas les han colocado una línea muy favorable para los fanáticos de las apuestas deportivas de -150 para ganar la división Sur.

[Fuera del tema: por cierto quieres 60% de bonus en tu primer deposito aquí en BetOnline? ve ENTRA Y APUESTA YA .]

La razón particular es la llamada “resaca del Súper Tazón” que sufren todos los equipos después del perder el gran juego el año anterior. Ojo al dato, para remontarnos a un equipo que haya regresado al Súper Tazón luego de perderlo tenemos que encontrarnos con los Bills de Búfalo de la temporada 93-94, 16 años atrás.

NFL líneas Para Ganar la AFC Sur:

• Potros de Indianápolis -150
• Titanes de Tennessee +350
• Tejanos de Houston +350
• Jaguares de Jacksonville +1000

Pienso que Mannig y los Colts cederán su puesto de campeones de la conferencia Americana en el 2010 pero les deberá alcanzar para ganar su división.

Los Potros no tuvieron bajas importantes en la temporada baja y más bien será otro año con Manning y los receptores Austin Collie y Pierre Garcon, quienes el año anterior era completos desconocidos.

Desde el 2003 Indianápolis ha ganado su división con la excepción de la temporada 2008 donde quedaron segundos detrás de los Titanes quienes cosecharon el mejor record de la Liga.

El hecho de pensar que Manning viene por venganza los hace aún más peligrosos.

Sus rivales a vencer serán los Titanes de Tennessee y los Tejanos de Houston, sin embargo no deberían tener problemas.

Los Titanes contarán con Chris Johnson, el mejor corredor de la liga además del mariscal Vince Young en comando de la ofensiva.

Tennessee acabó con una marca de 8-2 en los últimos 10 juegos de la temporada 2009 pero la perdida de piezas claves en la defensa podría poner en riesgo un puesto la postemporada. Keith Bulluck y Kyle Vanden Bosch partieron buscando nuevos rumbos dejando la defensiva claramente debilitada.

Por su parte los Tejanos son una incógnita aún, pues a pesar de su explosiva y excitante ofensiva, será su defensa la que tenga última palabra sobre si ellos entran o no a la primera postemporada de su corta historia.

Por último Jacksonville no es una alternativa para apostar, si bien es cierto tuvieron un buen inicio de temporada está comprobado que este equipo se desvanece al final.

Alonzo Dice: apuéstale a Indianápolis -150

PGA Tour Betting – Furyk is the Favorite to win The Greenbrier Classic, but Kuchar and Watney Look Tough

Jim Furyk is the favorite to win this week’s Greenbrier Classic but both Matt Kuchar and Nick Watney look like the fellas that golf betting fans might want to consider wagering on because Watney’s and Kuchar’s games, control off the tee and great putting, will serve them well on The Old White Course.

Furyk’s not bad with his control off the tee and putting either but Fury is a +1400 chalk, and although his golf odds are good, he might not deserve a wager at even those north of +1000 golfing odds.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? Find out more exciting details HERE.]

Do the odds in the sportsbook justify a wager on either Matt Kuchar or Nick Watney?

PGA Golf Betting Tour: The Greenbrier Classic

Where: The Old White Course, White Sulphur Springs, WV

When: July 29th thru August 1st, 2010

Par/Yardage: Par 70, Yards 7020

TV: The Golf Channel & CBS

Radio: XM-Satellite

To Win

Best Golf Bet A: Nick Watney +2000

His 12th ranking in birdie average and 8th in birdies or better on par 4’s should serve him very well on The Old White Course.

Since his 76th place finish at the U.S. Open, Watney’s been very good with a 7th at the AT&T National and a 7th at the British Open Championship (the Open Championship).

He looks ready to actually win a tournament soon. Why not this week with Phil and Tiger on the bench and Rory, Paddy and Graeme teeing it off in Ireland?

Best Golf Bet B: Matt Kuchar +1800

Kuchar is ranked #1 in all-around-ranking. I don’t understand why he isn’t +1400 in this tournament instead of Fury.

Hey, I’m not complaining because +1800 represents excellent value on a golfer like Kuchar in a tournament like this.

He’s overdue for a victory after three Top 5 finishes in his last four tournaments including a 4th in the RBC Canadian Open in his last. Besides the #1 rankings, Matt’s also ranked 14th in greens hit and 7th in adjusted scoring average.

Best Underdog Golf Bet: Bendan De Jonge +4000

40 to 1 are very good golf odds on the man ranked first in birdies on the PGA Tour.

De Jonge also finished 9th at the Travelers Championship, 7th at the John Deere Classic and 13th at the RBC Canadian Open in 3 out of the last 4 tournaments he’s played.

Brendan could be the surprise man to beat going into Sunday as he has played 9 straight rounds under par golf. He’s hot right now.

Others To Consider

Jeff Overton +2200 – - His 10th ranking in birdies or better on par 3’s should set him up well for The Old White Course. He also finished 11th at the British Open recently.

Ricky Barnes +3000 – - He hasn’t been playing all that well lately but he is ranked 2nd in total birdies on the PGA Tour and 14th in par 4 birdies or better.

JB Holmes +3000 – - He followed up his 5th place finish at the AT&T National with a terrific 14th place finish at the British Open.

Although more of a distance guy, he’s playing well enough to consider for the victory on this short course because of his recent form. The 30 to 1 golf odds help too!

MLB Betting Breakdown – Break the Bank By Backing These Payday-Producing Money Starters

Want to make a winning MLB wager?

Don’t know which team to back tonight?

Then stick with the age-old maxim that says good pitching beats good hitting and you’ll likely come out smelling like a rose in your attempts to strike pay dirt pro baseball bettors – and this look at the top 10 money starters in the game this season will give devoted MLB gamblers the information they will need in order to make a potentially profitable wager in the BetOnline Baseball Sportsbook.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? So go on JOIN NOW.]

With thoughts of dollar signs dancing around in my head, let me get started.

1. Kris Medlen – Braves – (11-1, +1070)
The young Braves’ right-hander made his first start in nearly three weeks – and four relief appearances – on Sunday, but didn’t look very good on allowing five earned runs along the way. Prior to his stint out of the bullpen (which wasn’t deserved in the slightest) Medlen (6-2, 3.57 ERA) helped the Braves win eight straight starts and 13 of his previous 4 starts overall.

2. Andy Pettitte – Yankees – (15-3, +1066)
New York has been nearly unbeatable when the still-gifted 38-year-old Pettitte (11-2, 2.88 ERA) takes the mound. The Yankees have won five straight when the venerable southpaw takes the mound and eight of his last 10 starts overall.

3. Mat Latos – Padres – (13-5, +982)
Latos (11-4, 2.48 ERA) has won six of his last seven starts while getting handed one no-decision during the span, during which San Diego won  all seven of his outings. Latos has been the best pitcher on the best staff in baseball this season – enough said!

4. Ubaldo Jimenez – Rockies – (16-4, +955)
The talented Jimenez (15-2, 2.75 ERA) has cooled off considerably lately, allowing on just three hits in two innings of a 10-2 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday while allowing at least four earned runs in five of his last six starts overall. The reeling Rockies have gone a dismal 1-3 in Jimenez’s last four starts overall.

5. Kyle Davies  -Royals – (11-8, +917)
How Kyle Davies  (5-6, 5.52 ERA) earned a spot on this list is beyond me, but the veteran right-hander has helped the Royals go 11-8 in his 19 starts this season – and for the lowly Royals, MLB betting fans can see that’s been good enough to bring home the bacon at a whopping +955 against the MLB moneyline.

The Best of the Rest
Freddy Garcia – White Sox – (12-6, +898)
Trevor Cahill – Oakland – (12-5, +828)
Joel Piniero – Angels – (13-7, +751)
Brett Cecil – Toronto – ( 11-6, +716)
Livan Hernandez – Nationals – (12-8, +697)

ATP Gstaad Tennis Betting – Youzhny and Chardy Feature

Gstaad, Switzerland – Top seed Mikhail Youzhny and Jeremy Chardy feature on the tennis-betting menu at BetOnline Sportsbook, set to get their respective second round matches at the Allianz Suisse Open underway on Thursday. Youzhny and Chardy are eyeing a spot in the quarterfinals and with some solid opponents standing in their way and stellar odds thrown into the mix by bookies, there is plenty of profit to be had.

Here is the lowdown on the tennis betting markets currently in full swing at BetOnline.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? So go on JOIN NOW.]

Tennis Betting Line: Mikhail Youzhny -1600 Alexander Sadecky +700

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time (11:00 AM Local Time) Thursday July 29, 2010

Tennis Betting Verdict: Youzhny is a massive favourite to win outright at -1800 and reach the quarterfinals, but standing in his way is a local favourite in Alexander Sadecky, a newcomer on the ATP Tour and an unknown article to most tennis bettors, even those that are avid enthusiasts.

Coming up against an unfamiliar opponent is tricky even for a player that is established as Youzhny is – who incidentally is on a good season with a 21-11 mark, a ranking in the top 20 and a title. Youzhny might not have as easy a time of it against Sadecky as bookies are expecting, if the market on this match, which suggests a complete and utter blowout, is anything to go by.

There could be more to Sadecky (+700 to win outright) than tennis bettors are aware of – his highlights on the lower circuit included a semi appearance at the Norway F1 event and title at the Norway F2 event (both hard court Futures events).

Of course, there is a huge gap in level between the Futures level and the pro-circuit and betting on Sadecky to upend Youzhny is a long shot bet in every sense. Yet, he, Sadecky that is, has home edge and this is only a minor tournament – two factors conducive to strange results. Should Sadecky upend Youzhny, it would be a huge upset though, make no mistake.

Tennis Free Picks: Youzhny in three sets

Tennis Betting Line: Jeremy Chardy -190 Jarkko Nieminen +145

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time (11:00 AM Local Time) Thursday July 29, 2010

Tennis Betting Verdict: BetOnline bookies are after rolling out a tight tennis betting line on the matchup between Jeremy Chardy and Jarkko Nieminen. Chardy is the favourite at -190 and as such, expected to win outright. However, Nieminen is a mere +145 puppy, a price point that suggests bookies believe him capable of vexing Chardy.

In fact, Nieminen owns a 1-0 edge over Chardy lifetime, albeit the encounter is now three years old, and he ranks better than Chardy does. Two facts that should make him a tempting bet for tennis bettors.

Tennis Free Picks: Nieminen in three sets

NFL Betting Expert Pick – Manning To Lead The League In Passing

With a bitter loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl last NFL betting season, Peyton Manning is not one to take poor performances lightly.

NFL Betting Odds

Regular Season Futures

Player to have most passing yards in reg. season:

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? So go on JOIN NOW.]

Drew Brees +400

Peyton Manning +500

Matt Schaub +550

Aaron Rogers +600

Tom Brady +700

After throwing a league-leading 956 passing yards in three playoff games last year (over 200 yards more than any other QB) and receiving his fourth MVP Award, Manning fell just short of a Super Bowl victory.

Peyton threw a decisive interception in the 4th quarter that was returned for a touchdown, sealing a victory for the Saints.

Thus, if I had to pick a year in which Manning may feel he has something to prove, it would be this NFL betting season.

After finishing second in the NFL last season in total passing yards to Houston’s Matt Schaub, Manning and the Colts offense kept all of his weapons intact.

All-pro wide receiver Reggie Wayne and pro bowl tight end Dallas Clark have amazing chemistry with Manning and will carry the bulk of the load for the Colts aerial attack.

However, the main reason that Manning will take over as the league leader in passing yards, a feat that he hasn’t accomplished since 2003, is emerging third-year receiver Pierre Garcon.

Garcon is a prolific downfield threat averaging 16.3 yards per catch last season for the Colts.

When he was incorporated heavily into the Colts passing attack halfway through the season, he helped provide an added downfield weapon for Manning that kept defenses from giving too much attention to Reggie Wayne.

Since Week 11 and including the playoffs, Garcon had three one hundred yard games including a 11-reception 151 yard performance in the AFC Conference championship game against the New York Jets.

Garcon will open up the field for the Colts passing attack and allow Manning to throw the ball downfield more often, increasing his yardage per completion.

Furthermore, the lack of a true running game, has put a huge emphasis on the passing attack in Indianapolis, which saw Manning throw the ball 571 times in 2009, the highest amount of attempts in his career in seven years.

The only problem I foresee for Manning leading the league in pass yardage is if the Colts start to run away with the division like they did last year.

We may see Manning taking a break for the last few games of the season; however, three of the last four games in the upcoming 2010-11 NFL betting season for the Colts will be against division rivals.

So hopefully there will be added pressure to keep Manning and the starters on the field at the end of the season.

NFL Betting Expert Pick: Take Peyton Manning +500 to lead the NFL in passing yards for the 2010-11 NFL betting season.

PGA Tour Golf Betting Odds – Kuchar and Watney to Finish in Top 4 Too Good

Both Matt Kuchar and Nick Watney are going off at exceptional golf betting odds in the sportsbook to finish in the Top 4 at this week’s PGA Tour Event, the Greenbrier Classic.

It’s hard enough for golfers to finish in the Top 10 week to week much less the Top 4 but getting odds above even money on quality golfers to do it is hard to come by. That’s the reason that I’m looking to bet either Kuchar or Watney in the sportsbook to finish in the Top 4. Sorry, judge! The golf odds made me do it!

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? So go on JOIN NOW.]

PGA Tour: The Greenbrier Classic

Where: The Old White Course, White Sulphur Springs, WV

When: July 29th thru August 1st, 2010

Par/Yardage: Par 70, Yards 7020

TV: The Golf Channel & CBS

Radio: XM-Satellite

Top 4

Best Golf Bet A: Matt Kuchar +350

Kuchar’s game is perfectly suited for success on The Old White Course. He’s ranked 14th in greens in regulation percentage and 7th in adjusted scoring average. Those are two key stats for this week. He’s also ranked #1 in all-around. The three Top 5 finishes in his last four tournaments help make the cause as well and he’s definitely overdue for a victory being the top money guy in the FedEx Cup Standings without a win in 2010.

Best Golf Bet B: Nick Watney +400

The golf wagering lines in the sportsbook don’t do justice to Watney who finished 7th at the AT&T National and 7th at the British Open in his last two tournament starts. And, although he’s ranked north of 140th in the par 3 birdie or better category, he’s ranked 3rd in greens in regulation percentage and 12th in birdie average.

Best Underdog Golf Bet: Bendon de Jonge +800

De Jonge has played 9 straight under par rounds. He’s ranked 18th in greens in regulation percentage, 27th in scoring average and 12th in the all-around ranking. He also finished 9th at the Travelers Championship and 7th at the John Deere Classic in 2 out of his last 4 tournaments played. So…why is Brendon going off at better golf odds than Kenny Perry, Sergio Garcia, Ben Crane and Charlie Wi? I don’t know either.

Others To Consider

Jeff Overton +425 – - Overton’s ranked 10th in birdies or better on par 3’s. The 11th place finish at the British Open says he’s hitting the ball well right now.

Ricky Barnes +600 – - His 2nd place ranking in total birdies and 14th in par 4 birdies or better makes him a contender to at least get a Top 4 finish this week.

JB Holmes +600 – - Although he’s known as more of a distance guy, JB’s playing well enough to consider for a Top 4 finish on this short course because of his recent form. The golf betting odds to finish in the Top 4 are primo on a guy like Holmes.

NFL Odds – Stacking Up the Odds in the NFC East

The 2010 NFL odds are out, and BetOnline Sportsbook is looking at the NFC East today. The Dallas Cowboys proved to be too much to top last season, but they are going to be on high alert this year, as all three teams feel like they have to be contenders for a home playoff game.

Dallas Cowboys (+125) – The Cowboys made real headlines last week by becoming the first team in the NFL to sign their first round draft pick, WR Dez Bryant. Bryant could bring a whole other dimension to the passing game, which was one of the best in the league last year. Between the play of QB Tony Romo and his weapons, including Bryant, WR Miles Austin, WR Roy Williams, and TE Jason Witten, Dallas is sure to be back in the playoff mix once again this year.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? Find out more exciting details HERE.]

My NFL Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC East

New York Giants (+270) – The Giants failed to make the playoffs last year, but it wasn’t the offense’s fault. QB Eli Manning did the best he could with an entirely new set of receivers and tight ends. The play of WR Steve Smith was outstanding last year, and if either Hakeem Nicks or Mario Manningham can step up and do the same thing this season, the New York offense is going to be fantastic. Rookie DE Jason Pierre-Paul and the addition of SS Antrel Rolle from Arizona should help out a pass defense which was the worst in the division last year. The playoffs aren’t out of the question for HC Tom Coughlin’s crew.

My NFL Predictions: 10-6, 2nd place in NFC East

Philadelphia Eagles (+270) – Now that QB Donovan McNabb has moved on, the Eagles have a lot of work to do. QB Kevin Kolb looked sharp in limited action last season, and he is going to be the man tabbed with the duty of making the fans in the City of Brotherly Love forget about #5. It is the defense that concerns us though, especially in the secondary. Philadelphia didn’t have a fantastic secondary last season, and though S Marlin Jackson was signed to help fill the void, his Achilles rupture is going to take him out of the lineup for the entire season.

My NFL Predictions: 8-8, 3rd place in NFC East

Washington Redskins (+550) – Speaking of Donovan McNabb… He’s the new man under center in our nation’s capitol, and along with him comes new HC Mike Shanahan. If owner Dan Snyder is right that the play of QB Jason Campbell and coaching abilities of former HC Jim Zorn really were inadequate, the Redskins could challenge for the NFC East title this year. Though both Shanahan and McNabb are upgrades on their predecessors, it won’t be enough to get the Skins into the playoffs or out of the NFC East gutter. There is still far too much work to be done here for success.

My NFL Predictions: 7-9, 4th place in NFC East

Tennis Betting – Favorite Querrey Takes on Anderson for a Spot in the Los Angeles Quarters

Los Angeles, USA – Second-seed Sam Querrey is set to bid for a spot in the quarterfinals of the Farmers Classic, an ATP 250-level event in Los Angeles and the second US Open series event leading up to the US Open, on Thursday.

Standing in his way is Kevin Anderson of South Africa. BetOnline bookies are listing Sam Querrey as the solid favourite to win outright on the moneyline. Sure, American tennis betting fans will be pounding his odds.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? Find out more exciting details HERE.]

But is there an intrinsic value on the underdog Anderson? He is priced reasonably to win outright, just under the +200 mark. Can tennis bettors infer he has a chance to mastermind the upset, shake up the draw in Los Angeles and turn the market on the tournament on its head.

Bearing in mind that he is no stranger to the upset – didn’t he go and dump Djokovic in Miami last year – you cannot, not say there is value in Anderson.

Tennis Betting Line:

Kevin Anderson +3 -115 +150 23½ O -110 U -130

Sam Querrey -3 -125 -200 23½ O -110 U -130

First Set Line: Kevin Anderson +135 Sam Querrey -175

Match Time: 12:00 PM Eastern Time (3:00 PM Pacific Time) Thursday July 29, 2010

Tennis Betting Verdict: San Francisco-born, Sam Querrey has a distinct home edge in this match. California is his native State. West Side is where it is at for this 22-year-old and as a through-and-through local boy, the crowd will feel that much more kinship towards him.

Wherever Sam is his “Samurai” (a fan club made up of his college buddies that make it to almost every event to show support and solidarity with him as he pursues fame and glory on the tennis courts of the world) are too.

This rather boisterous, bare-chested, collection of friends in the stands can be rather distracting for any player. Added to an already loyal home crowd and things can be quite unbearable and frustrating on court.

Anderson has to ignore the crowd and the Samurai herd if he is to have a chance in this match. He will have to up the ante against Querrey because the American is on form right now with three titles on the season and a solid 29-15 mark.

Anderson has never beaten Querrey. Twice he lost to him — Las Vegas (2008) and London Queen’s Club (2009). There is a chance third time is going to be lucky for the South African.

Querrey suffered a dip in form a few weeks back in Newport when he lost to No.108 Dustin Brown, rather meekly come to that, 4-6, 3-6.

There is also the fact that Querrey can oscillate on form going for good and bad stretches at a time. He might very well be going through a bad patch right now.

Of course, all this is conjecture. More likely than not, Querrey is the better play for all the above reasons. All I am saying is that I won’t be surprised if he were upset by Anderson.

SEC Football Betting Preview – Can Alabama Repeat?

The 2010 SEC Football Betting Futures odds are out and once again there is a ton of competition in this powerhouse conference. Alabama is looking to repeat and has most of their top players on offense back, but the Florida Gators remain a challenger to win the league as well in the SEC Football Betting Futures odds yet again.

The Crimson Tide clock in with the best odds coming off of their 2009 national championship at -105 to win the conference, and they have a loaded team that reflects those odds. Mark Ingram is back at tailback with a realistic shot to repeat as the Heisman Trophy winner and the Crimson Tide always seem to have a good running game.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetOnline? So go on JOIN NOW.]

Nick Saban at head coach has taken it to another level, however, and with Julio Jones at receiver on the outside to spread the field, the Tide offense will be tough to stop as the young defense matures.

An early game against Penn State at home would be daunting, but the Nittany Lions will be breaking in a new QB in that game on the road and the Tide should win because of that fact, which will give them a ton of confidence going into the SEC Conference season against a hungry pack of contenders.

Florida is listed at +250 odds and they’re a good pick to win it all because John Brantley has the talent at QB to make a big leap as a youngster. He was a quick understudy and friend of Tim Tebow and now he’ll get a chance in an Urban Meyer system that seems to translate to quick success for many QB’s.

If you’re looking for sleepers in the SEC betting odds to win the conference, South Carolina at +800 and Arkansas at the same odds are good bets. South Carolina has a fierce, hard-hitting defense and an experienced offense under Steve Spurrier that could lead them to an upset division title in the SEC East with some luck.

As for Arkansas, they have more talent than people give them credit for, led by Ryan Mallett at QB, a Michigan transfer who lit up the SEC last year in his first year at Arkansas and should be a big-time NFL prospect.

In the end, the pick here in the 2010 SEC Football Betting Futures race is Florida because their young talent will be seasoned by the time they take on Alabama in the title game. The Gators will be revenge-minded and they’ll make it happen to be the winners of the 2010 SEC Betting Futures race for the league crown.
