Rangers Looking To Complete Emphatic Sweep of Lowly Royals

The Texas Rangers (65-58 SU, 68-65 RL, 71-56-6 O/U) made my selection in the BetUS Locker Room a winner yesterday as they narrowly beat the struggling Kansas City Royals (56-76 SU, 62-70 RL, 61-70-1 O/U) on Tuesday, winning 2-1 for their second straight win over their AL counterparts.

Tonight, the Rangers will look to make it a clean sweep of the Royals by handing the ball to rookie left-hander Matt Harrison (5-3, 6.27 ERA) to record their first road sweep of the Royals ever and first road sweep over any opponent since turning the trick against the Oakland A’s on May 2-4, 2005.

Harrison, who has never faced Kansas City, had his three-game winning streak snapped on Friday in a loss to the Cleveland Indians while lasting only 3.2 innings and giving up five runs and seven hits in the Rangers’ 7-5 loss.

NFL Week One Betting Preview Extravaganza!

The wait is finally over! Since February 3rd, 2008, the NFL betting community has been starving for some real football action. We’ve all read the magazines, checked the trade market, the free-agent frenzy and watched all the training camp news. Now it’s time to put all that knowledge and pent-up excitement to good use. You guessed it – Week 1 of the NFL is upon us!

The season opens with Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants on Thursday September 4th, 2008. The Giants are coming off a week that saw them lose their star defensive player, Osi Umenyiora, to a serious knee injury.

Any coaxing to get Michael Strahan out of retirement failed, and I don’t blame the gap-toothed stopper for wanting to end his career on top. The Giants are 3-point favorites in that, but I would bet on Washington getting their season off to the right start.

Then we roll the clock forward to Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Every team is in action, and BetUS.com has the best lines for all the big games kicking off. Here’s a rundown of all the online betting action coming your way in Week 1. Check back frequently to the new and improved BetUS.com Locker Room for all your football betting needs! We’ve got your game.

Stay Away From Short-Priced Favorites in the AFC

The AFC Conference is loaded with good teams once again. It’s going to take some serious sports handicapping by NFL betting fans to find the key teams in the 2008 – 2009 NFL Season.

There are a few things that we learned during the NFL Pre-season, though, that could help yield huge profits when looking to make online wagers on AFC teams. The obvious thing I noticed is that the New England Patriots’ offense shouldn’t be nearly as surprising as it was last year.

Yes, it’s definitely going to put up points, but I don’t expect the Patriot’s to continually score between 35 and 50 like they did last season. AFC defenses have had an entire year to plan for that Patriots’ semi-spread offensive attack. Look for the AFC East, in particular the New York Jets, to give the Patriots a good run.

I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to my opinion regarding the Patriots, of course, so don’t hang me if I’m wrong. The + 300 on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl are terrible online football odds.

Speaking of the Jets, Brett Favre insists that he wants to play for at least one series in the teams’ final NFL Pre-season game. If I’m Eric Mangini, I take Brett aside and so, “No way!” Number 4 has been as impressive as any player during this NFL Pre-season. He came to the Jets after training camp started and hit the ground running. The guy is a football player. Mangini is a player’s coach. I expect big things from the Jets.
