Bay-Giants game, Brett Favre is favored by 60.5 yards and +110 over Kerry Collins (-140)
for most passing yards. Ahman Green is a 20.5-yard favorite over Tiki Barber in the
rushing department........Will the first score in the Denver-Indy game be a TD?
"Yes" is -180, while the "No" is +150. And Peyton Manning is a
45.5-yard favorite over Denver's QB's (Griese, Frerotte) for most yards through the
air...........Cardinals' WR David Boston is favored by 40.5 yards over Redskins' Rob
Gardner in the Washington-Arizona game.......Ty Detmer is a 10.5-yard favorite over Cowboy
QB Quincy Carter in the Dallas-Detroit game.........Will the shortest San Francisco TD
against New Orleans exceed 2.5 yards? It's a pick'em proposition.................It's a
-160/+130 favorite that the first score in Cleveland-Pittsburgh game will come after the
6.5-minute mark..........In the Rams-Falcons contest, Kurt Warner is a hefty 99.5-yard
favorite to pass for more yards than the Atlanta combo of Chris Chandler and Michael
Vick......Buffalo wideout Eric Moulds is just a 5.5-yard choice over standout Miami rookie
Chris Chambers for the most receiving yards in that game............Oakland QB Rich Gannon
is a -140/+110 favorite to throw an interception against the Jets...........At William Hill, Carolina is 5/1 to win its game with
New England by 1-6 points. St. Louis is 4/1 to win its game against Atlanta by 13-18
points, and Pittsburgh is 7/2 to beat Cleveland by 7-12 points. There is a whole set of
"winning margin" propositions at William Hill..........Carib Sports' "Grand
Salami" - the over/under for all NFL games being played on Sunday, is
555.5...........Also at Carib Sports - AFC East teams are a 15-point favorite to score
more points Sunday than AFC West teams. And Mike Alstott is 4/1 to score the first TD in
the Philadelphia-Tampa Bay game. James Thrash of the Eagles is 5/1.......Carib Sports'
line on which team will score the most points on Sunday: Rams 2/1, Colts 6/1, Broncos 7/1,
Ravens 10/1, 49ers 10/1, Saints 12/1, Titans 12/1, Patriots 15/1, Steelers 15/1, Raiders
15/1, Seahawks 15/1, Dolphins 15/1, Packers 18/1, Bears 18/1, Redskins 18/1, Cowboys 20/1,
Chiefs 20/1, Giants 20/1, Jets 25/1, Cardinals 25/1, Browns 25/1, Falcons 30/1, Bucs 35/1,
Bills 35/1, Field (All Others Not Listed) 6/1..........As usual, lots of props at Olympic Sports. The odds are "No" (-600/+350)
that there will be a 300-yard passer in the Arizona-Washington game. Miami is a -130/+110
favorite to have more rushing yards than Buffalo; Tennessee is a -130/Even favorite to
best Cincinnati in rushing yards; Detroit is a -205/+150 favorite over Dallas to have the
most passing yards; the odds are -190/+140 that there will NOT be a 300-yard passer in the
Broncos-Colts game; of course, St. Louis is their favorite to score the most points, at
2/1, with the Colts at 5/1 and Denver at 8/1....... Home teams are a 37.5-point favorite
to score more points than visitors (I like the visitors on that one)............Kurt
Warner is 5/2 to have the most passing yards on Sunday, followed by Peyton Manning (4/1),
Aaron Brooks (6/1), and Jeff Garcia (7/1). I honestly think there might be some value with
Mark Brunell (17/1) or even Jon Kitna (23/1).............Curtis Martin of the Jets is 4/1
to have the most rushing yards, with Shaun Alexander at 9/2, Ahman Green of the Packers at
5/1 and Priest Holmes of Kansas City at 6/1. My value pick - how about Dominic Rhodes of
Indianapolis, at 24/1..............New Orleans QB Aaron Brooks is a 21.5-yard favorite
over San Francisco's Jeff Garcia at Intertops, and
there might be some real value with Garcia there..........At Sportsbook.com, Curtis
Martin's over/under on pass receptions is 4.5, while the Bucs are a -130/Even favorite to
score first against the Eagles. Props up on only a few games there. But also at
Sportsbook.com, the Rams are -130/Even NOT to win the Super Bowl this season. And a Pro
Bowl future line is already up - the NFC is a three-point favorite over the AFC. The NFC
is also a six-point favorite in the Super Bowl.
Other Stuff
At Intertops, Point Given is 1/2 to win the Eclipse
Award as Horse of the Year, which will be awarded on February 18. Tiznow is even money,
and the field (any other horse) is 8/1........English
Sports Betting has established Siphonic as their future book favorite for the 2002
Kentucky Derby, at 4/1, followed by Officer at 6/1, Johannesburg at 8/1, and Repent at
10/1..........Intertops has odds on all first-round matches in the Embassy World Darts
Championships, which begins today.............At The
Big Book, the United States is a 2/1 favorite to capture the gold in hockey at the
upcoming Winter Olympics. The Czech Republic and Canada are listed at 5/2, with Russia at
5/1, Finland at 6/1, and Sweden at 8/1..........V-Wager.com
has, as far as I've seen, more prices on the Ultimate Fighting Championship than any other
online book. For the next UFC event - Friday night's UFC 35 "Throwdown" at the
Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, they've got odds on each match, along with some
tremendous props, over/unders, and more. So if you're a fan of this new PPV phenomenon,
you may want to check this out to appreciate it from another angle. And we're going to
have a lot more on this as the event approaches, we can assure you.
These prices are all highly volatile, and subject to change, especially the football
lines. Remember - you can't get hurt by shopping around!
