Will Ole Miss Make it 3 Straight?
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen the college football betting community hand out as much love as they have been for the Alabama Crimson Tide. But who can blame them? After all, Nick Saban’s squad has yet to disappoint. The Tide opened the season with an impressive 52-6 routing of USC, and they followed that up with a 38-10 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Although they improved to 2-0 Nick Saban wasn’t too pleased with his team’s performance.

It can be tough for schools to find consistency during the college football betting season. Surprisingly enough, consistency hasn’t been an issue for the Michigan Wolverines. Testament to this is the fact that Michigan entered the season as the nation’s No. 4 team, and after two weeks of extraordinary football, the Wolverines have maintained that same ranking. The importance of this consistency is further highlighted when looking at teams like Clemson.

Cards-Seminoles Face Off in a Battle of Undefeateds
What’s the best part of football betting? When two undefeated Top-10 schools go head to head. The contest between No. 2 Florida State and No. 10 Louisville will give fans all that and much more. Louisville has been extremely impressive in their first two games. They beat the Charlotte 49ers 70-14 and gave a 62-28 beating to the Syracuse Orange this past weekend. Louisville’s performance has been exemplary but their opponents haven’t been. Had Louisville faced tougher opposition they surely would’ve climbed higher in the polls. Fortunately for Louisville, they’ll get their true test this weekend against the second best team in the nation. Louisville has a chance to propel themselves in the rankings, while Florida State has the opportunity to further solidify their playoff hopes.

2016 Safeway Open on notice: Here there be Tiger Woods
The golf betting odds of whoever participates in the upcoming Safeway Open have just received a blow. Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods hopes to play in the tournament that will open the 2016-17 PGA Tour season, and which will take place at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California on October 13th-16th. Woods seems poised to make up for lost time. He hasn’t played a competitive round on the PGA Tour since August 2015 when he finished in a tie for 10th place in the Wyndham Championship, but now he has the Turkish Airlines Open, the Tiger Woods Foundation-run Hero World Challenge, and the Tiger Woods Invitational all lined up for the fall.
Andy Murray’s best laid U.S. Open schemes went askew
Scottish tennis betting favorite – though not no mo’ – Andy Murray lost the quarterfinals of the 2016 U.S. Open to Japanese Kei Nikifori 1-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5. How did this happen? How could this happen? Did Great Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane Hill again? Was Nikifori not born of woman? Like a dinner of haggis and sushi, this outcome will be hard to stomach for many fans who bet on tennis – especially because Murray has missed a golden chance to close the gap on World No. 2 Novak Dojokovic, as he was projected to do.
