After a crazy Week 3 of college football betting, this week’s slate is a little more subdued. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t value to be had during Week 4 of the NCAA schedule.

IowaHawkeyes at Penn State Nittany Lions (-10)

While Week 3 was highlighted by big revenge games, the Nittany Lions have their own version of payback in store for the Hawkeyes. It was Iowa that spoiled PSU’s title game hopes with an 24-23 upset last November. The Lions are the premiere defense in the Big Ten but could have two major cogs dinged up for this weekend - linebackers Sean Lee and Navorro Bowman are nursing injuries heading into this match up. Bowman was back at practice earlier this week while Lee sat out drills; however, both are listed as probable.

Iowa is coming off an impressive win over Arizona on Saturday. The Hawkeyes rank at the bottom of the conference in offensive pop but have proven to be dangerous on defense. They’ve allowed just over 300 yards per game and have picked off six passes and forced four fumbles. That ability to spark turnovers could keep this contest much closer than Penn State would like.

California Golden Bears at Oregon Ducks (+5.5)

Cal running back Jahvid Best put his name at the top of the Heisman ballot with a five-touchdown performance against Minnesota last weekend. The junior has rushed for over 137 yards per game this season while adding a total of 59 yards and a touchdown through the air. Not to be outdone, quarterback Kevin Riley is keeping defenses honest with his arm. The junior has a completion percentage of 64.8 and has passed for almost 700 yards and five touchdowns. More importantly, he hasn’t been picked off yet.

The Ducks took a step forward in putting their opening-game ugliness behind them with a win over Utah last weekend. Oregon was able to rush for 217 yards behind backup running back LaMichael James, who totaled 156 yards and a score on the ground. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli passed for just 95 yards and an interception and has struggled to find his receivers this season. Masoli boasts a completion percentage of just 45 and has yet to pass for a touchdown.

Miami Hurricanes at Virginia Tech Hokies (+3)

The Hurricanes are the fastest improving team in college football. Miami’s talented defense was incredible against Georgia Tech’s rush-heavy offense, holding the Jackets to just 95 yards. The Canes’ offense has been equally impressive, averaging 35.5 points in their first two games. Sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris tops the ACC in passing with 328 yards per game and a completion percentage of 69.5. This will be Miami’s third straight Top 25 opponent and, with Oklahoma on next week’s slate, backers should beware of a look-ahead.

The Hokies took a 16-15 win over Nebraska on Saturday, holding the Huskers to five field goals. Virginia Tech’s defense was outdone on the ground but managed to pick off two passes and hold Nebraska to just 136 yards passing. The Hokies’ ground game is second in the ACC, rushing for almost 200 yards per game. The passing attack, namely quarterback Tyrod Taylor, is slowly improving and can build on a solid performance against the Huskers.

The New York Giants (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U) and the Dallas Cowboys (1-0, SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U) will hook up in an early-season NFC East matchup that will almost assuredly be a typical knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish between the longtime division rivals when they meet at Cowboys Stadium at 8 PM ET on Sunday night. That is the online USA sportsbook pick of the week.

The Giants got their 2009 regular season off to a solid start by beating the Washington Redskins 23-17, but either failed to cover the spread or saw the game play out as a Push as either, 6.5 or 6-point home favorites, depending on which line NFL bettors received. The game’s 40 total points played Over the 37-point O/U total.

Eli Manning completed 20-of-29 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown and one interception for New York while Mario Manningham caught three passes for 58 yards with a touchdown in the victory.

The Cowboys made both, my ATS and O/U expert NFL picks in their season opener cash in as they handled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-21 as a 5-point favorite on Sunday while the game’s 55 combined points played Over the 40-point O/U total.

Elusive quarterback Tony Romo completed 16-of-27 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns for Dallas while wide receiver Roy Williams caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in the victory.

While the Dallas Cowboys looked phenomenal in spanking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their season opener – and the New York Giants just looked so-so in narrowly beating the Washington Redskins despite playing at home. I like the Giants to cover the spread in this contest as I believe their strong defense and spectacular running game will hamper Dallas’ ability to pass and run the ball with the same effectiveness they displayed against the mostly clueless Buccaneers.

I know these longtime NFC East rivals split their two matchups last season with each team winning on its home field, but I expect the loss of Terrell Owens – and return of havoc-wreaking defensive end Osi Umenyiora – will spell trouble for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and the team’s offense in general.

Lost in the Cowboys’ win over Tampa Bay is the fact that Buccaneers running back Carnell ‘Cadillac’ Williams rushed for 97 yards and one score on just 13 carries while former Giants back Derrick Ward totaled 62 yards on 12 carries.

Dallas ’ generous run defense will take an even bigger pounding against Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw when Eli Manning isn’t spreading the ball around with his generally efficient passing.

The Giants have a posted some solid ATS wagering statistics, going a stellar 21-6 ATS in their last 27 road games, 16-5 ATS against a team with a winning record and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss.

While I’m taking the Giants to win this game and cover the spread, I’d be lying if I said that the Cowboys have no shot at winning or covering the spread.

Dallas has gone an impressive 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite, 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite, numbers that say they have an excellent chance to win and cover the spread.

Two more important wagering statistics in the Cowboys’ favor is the fact that the Giants have gone a dismal 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against NFC East division rivals while the f avorite has recorded a solid 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.

Nevertheless, I like the Giants to buck those trends and cover their NFL betting odds in this matchup with a narrow road win.

I also like the Under to cash in as it has played out in four of New York’s last five games against their division rivals while also going 10- 4 in the last 14 meetings in Dallas.

Take the Giants to hand the Cowboys a ‘reality check’ in this matchup NFL fanatics.

College Football Betting Preview
Miami of Florida at Florida State

The first week of the college football season concludes on Monday night as Florida State hosts Miami of Florida in a game that can be seen on ESPN. This has the potential to be a good one as Florida State is one of the favorites in the ACC while Miami is a serious contender.

Florida State is a 6-point favorite with a total of 47 at SBG Global.

This is a huge year for Miami head coach Randy Shannon. He has yet to show his Miami team can play in the big games and time is running out. The Hurricanes are 30-23 all-time in the series against Florida State but the Seminoles hold the 3-2 edge since Miami joined the ACC. Last year was a scoring fest as FSU won 41-39.

Miami will be led this season by Jacory Harris. He started two games last year and a lot is expected of him this season. He sure will get tested early as the Hurricanes have the Seminoles on Monday, host Georgia Tech, travel to Virginia Tech and then host Oklahoma. The Hurricanes have lost 11 of their last 13 games to ranked teams. “I like (the schedule),” said sophomore quarterback “I can’t wait, actually.” Harris gets to hand the ball to Graig Cooper and Javarris James. He also has talented receivers in Aldarius Johnson, Thearon Collier, Travis Benjamin and LaRon Byrd. The Miami defense returns eight starters and should be improved this season.

Florida State returns quarterback Christian Ponder who should be improved after throwing 14 TDs and 13 interceptions last season. The running game should be led by sophomore Jermaine Thomas who averaged 7 yards per carry in limited action last season. Only five starters return on defense but the secondary is solid with safeties Jamie Robinson and Korey Magnum.

Here is a look at the college football betting stats for Monday’s game. The Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. The Hurricanes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Hurricanes are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 conference games. The Underdog is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.

The Seminoles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. The Seminoles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings at home against Miami.

The under is 4-1 in the Hurricanes last 5 games as an underdog. The Over is 5-1 in the Seminoles last 6 home games. The under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the two teams.

MONTREAL, CANADA. - SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 - Sports Interaction, one of the leading online USA sportsbooks, has introduced a new service that brings online sports betting into a whole new level of interactivity.

“We’re very excited about this,” says Kevin Manning, Vice-President, Sports and Events, at Sports Interaction. “No other book is doing this - we’re providing something completely new in the online gaming space.”

The reason for the excitement is Game Chat, a facility that allows Sports Interaction members to chat to each other in real time on the website. For the past year, Sports Interaction users have been able to post their thoughts using the Bet Opinions facility, and now the book has gone one step further.
“It’s a technology developed in-house that allows users to do just what the name says - chat during the game,” says Manning. “It combines the convenience of instant messenger technology and the community aspect of traditional internet forums. We’re very exited about it, and very proud of it as a product.”

The technology is going live at just the right time - the start of the football season is traditionally the busiest time of year in the online gambling industry.

“All our members are psyched for football,” says Manning, “and Game Chat allows them to connect to others who are equally psyched, in real time. We’ve always talked about bringing the experience right into your living room - now we’re expanding your living room to share your football passion with others who are just as passionate about betting. The early feedback has been very positive, and we’re sure this will be a huge success.”
