IC'S SATURDAY NBA PREVIEW
NBA Saturday ResearchToronto vs. PhiladelphiaYou want a public play, you got it - Toronto is favored by over 70% of the public and these 2 met earlier this year in Toronto where the Raps won 109-96. Now, these two teams square off in Philly as the Sixers are a small home dog. Toronto has covered 5 of their last 6 and the only game they did not cover ... read more

IC'S FRIDAY NBA AND COLLEGE PREVIEW
NBA NotesKnicks vs. WizardsMarubury is still out for the Knicks while Antonio Daniels is now listed as questionable for the Wizards - this is important considering he is the 3rd leg of scoring for the Wizards and they will be handicapped a bit today if it is just Butler and Jamison that is to carry the load and if he does not play, I would not be surprised ... read more

IC's Tuesday College Basketball and NBA Preview
College Basketball Research Michigan vs. Ohio StateI have both of these teams ranked in the top 25 in the power rankings and I would not be surprised if Ohio State falls within the cover here. Keep in mind that Ohio State did not win at Purdue dissappointingly, but at the same time Michigan State comes off a loss - and they haven't necessarily dominated ... read more

This Week in Betting, A to Z
A - Antonio Gates. San Diego beat Tennessee relatively easily once they decided to actually try, but it was a costly victory. Tight end Gates was injured, and in the replay it looks like his toe was folded over like origami. That's really gotta sting, and it certainly doesn't help the team's cause against the Colts. Philip Rivers wasn't exactly looking ... read more

A - Avalanche. Colorado will have to do something for the next eight to 12 weeks that they haven't had to do for quite a while - play without their captain. After three straight injury-free seasons, Joe Sakic is out for a long stretch after opting to get surgery on a hernia that wouldn't heal. Colorado's mired in a tight playoff race, so the loss of ... read more

NBA Power Rankings, Dec. 11-Dec. 26
The Portland Trailblazers have inexplicably caught fire, Bulls coach Scott Skiles got fired and Isaiah Thomas somehow avoided being fired. For these reasons and more, the NBA has heated up over the frigid holiday season. Here are the NBA power rankings through Dec. 26: 1. Boston -- 23-3. Last week’s home loss to the Pistons was a disappointment, ... read more

Portland Earning Fat Profits For Money Line Players
The Portland Trailblazers have won and covered every game since their last lost on Dec. 2 to the San Antonio Spurs. This is now the hottest team in the league. The question to be asked is whether they are for real or if they are just playing above their heads on this current winning streak. While many are imagining the presence of injured Greg Oden ... read more

IC'S THURSDAY BETTING CARD PREVIEW
Thursday's NFLPittsburgh vs. St. LouisThere is nothing more the Rams would love than to upset the Steelers. After all, the Rams are eliminated from the playoffs so this can be considered as their playoff game. Keep in mind what has Pittsburgh truly done on the road? The Steelers are 2-4 on the road and they come off back to back losses and have lost ... read more

This Week in Betting, A to Z
A - Atlanta Falcons. Bobby Petrino is obviously the worst kind of scum, but his treachery doesn't excuse the deep disappointment I feel about the Falcons today. With the way the players were talking after Petrino left I thought that their pride would lead them to try their best to show their former coach up, but they didn't even bother to show up as ... read more

by T.O. Whenham - 12/03/2007A - ACC. The ACC crushed the Big Ten in the challenge between the two leagues. Again. The ACC won eight of the 11 games - only Indiana, Penn State, and Michigan State were victorious from the Big Ten. Some of the results were surprisingly emphatic - Duke beat Wisconsin badly, and North Carolina had little trouble with Ohio ... read more

The Celtics Revisited
Nick Parsons The addition of Garnett and Allen will surely cause the Celtics to become a more popular pick with the betting public. It's highly doubtful that they'll be able to match last season's ATS record on the road; however, an improvement at home should be expected. While perusing a couple of sites on the Internet, I found the Celtics at +2050 ... read more

by T.O. Whenham - 11/28/2007Though it's still early in the season the NBA has had its share of surprises - the Celtics adapted to their new lineup faster than anyone thought possible, the Bulls are way worse than they should be given their talent, and Cleveland and the Lakers have shown that you can be competitive with just one player as long as that ... read more

Focusing on Dvisions and Teams, will lead to Value in the NBA
I love the Eastern Conference in the NBA and this has led to my success in capping basketball not only this year but in years' past. I enjoy focusing on teams and seeing increased value.

by T.O. Whenham - 11/26/2007A - Agent Zero. The Wizards suffered a gigantic loss this week. Gilbert Arenas, for my money probably one of the top five players in the league when it's crunch time, will miss the next three months of action. He underwent not one but two knee operations on Wednesday. It's the same knee that he had repaired last year, so ... read more

by T.O. Whenham - 11/19/2007 A - Amazing. They may not be the best team in the league, but no one has consistently delivered thrills and memorable endings this year like the Cleveland Browns. They threw away a 27-14 lead, looked dead before kicking a tying field goal with no time left on the clock, and then won in overtime with a truly bizarre field ... read more

Greetings from Holiday Land....
An interesting week, one that sees AROD head back to the bronx after handling the negotiations on his own? Something tells us he was well prepped by Monsieur Boras in this one. Either way, the most overpaid player in the game, stays exactly that. He is a great talent, but he never shows up when it matters most, and until he does that, we are not buying ... read more

It's not often that the noise and electricity of a stadium comes through on TV, but it was clear that the Oregon fans were totally out of control on Saturday. I live in the West, so I have seen Oregon play a lot this year. That means that their dominant performance, and the magic of Dennis Dixon, wasn't ... read more

Their loss to UConn this weekend puts them at 4-4 and officially confirms that Steve Kragthorpe has made one of the roughest transitions into a new job in coaching history. The sad part is that this is a team that many people, including me, saw as the top of their conference ... read more
