Big 10 Football Recap As the midpoint of conference play approaches, the Big Ten clearly appears to be separated into two tiers. Four of the six games last week were routs, including the nation’s No. 1 team, Ohio State, taking care of in-state mid-major Bowling Green by a score of 35-7 at the Horseshoe. In my opinion, the top tier is filled by the Buckeyes, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. With limited exception, I would not expect any of these four teams to lose to the bottom seven. Wisconsin may struggle with its trip to West Lafayette in two weeks and…

2006 Breeder’s Cup Betting Information Jack Schneider visualizes just one manner in which Bernardini can be beaten in next month’s $5 million Breeders Cup Classic — barring stumbling on a stable rock, getting stuck in the gate or being abducted by aliens. "The only way it could happen is if Bernardini and Lava Man get into a dog-dirt duel and are so into watching each other and not looking behind them, someone else bolts by both in the end," the Sam’s Town Race Book manager said. That kind of scenario would throw balloting for Horse of the Year into a…

College Football Notes for Week 6 The third CFB weekend of the season saw seven games between teams ranked in the AP poll, the most-ever on a single day since the AP began including 25 teams in its ranking back in 1969. It should have been a memorable day but rather it turned into an embarrassment, as both on-field officials as well as replay-booth officials affected the outcome of a number of important games, most notably Oklahoma/Oregon but including among others, BYU/Boston College and LSU/Auburn. With the calendar turning to October, the CFB season has entered its sixth week of…
Free NFL Picks for Sunday Week 5 of the NFL season sees three teams laying double digits. So who will cover and who won’t. Let’s get right into it. Titans at Colts (-19, O/U 48): It isn’t everyday that a team is laying 19 in the NFL, however, it also isn’t everyday that the worst defense in football goes up against a juggernaut offense. Prediction: You can’t bet on the Titans this season. Lay the points. Colts 37 Titans 10
College Football Picks for 10/07 Clemson (-16.5, O/U 47.5) at Wake Forest: It’s funny how big wins can change a season. After the upset over Florida State, Clemson has turned into a juggernaut on both sides of the ball, outscoring opponents 103-7 in the last two games. The Tigers clean up against subpar teams, as they have put up 50 or more three times already this year. James Davis is too much for defenses to handle. Wake Forest is at the bottom of the ACC, while Clemson has risen to the upper echelon, passing Miami, Va. Tech, and possibly Florida…
