NBA Basketball Betting Picks for the Los Angeles Lakers (21-3) and the Miami Heat (12-12)
Friday, December 19th, 2008
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are lead by superstar guard Kobe Bryant, are still dominating the second quarter of the NBA Regular Season despite loosing a bit of steam compared to their first onslaught of games. This year Kobe Bryant is not going to have another MVP season concerning his stats, but this could be one of the best NBA Regular Seasons the Los Angeles Lakers had since the 90’s dynasty. The Los Angeles Lakers will be a top contender for the 2009 NBA Championship, especially with the good health of Andrew Bynum to team up with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Derrick Fisher on deck and Phil Jackson calling the shots. With the loss of French role player Ronny Turiaf causing some concern, good news for the Los Angeles Lakers they have a well improved Trevor Ariza. The Los Angeles Lakers are sure to take on any team in their way despite loosing steam in a few road games.
The Miami Heat this year started of on the wrong foot compiling loss after loss and looked like it would be a repeat of last seasons shindig, but as the NBA Regular season heads into the second quarter, they look like contenders in the NBA Eastern Conference. With Dwyane Wade back and healthy, Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion are putting up decent numbers and are playing small ball to perfection. The Miami Heat are getting better but are taking a little linger than usual. The Miami Heat are former champions of the NBA then rebuilding right away after loosing two consecutive seasons then traded Shaq O’Neal and lost key players like Jason Williams and Gary Payton. Although…
NBA Basketball Betting Picks for the Cleveland Cavaliers (21-4) versus the New York Knicks (17-8)
Friday, December 19th, 2008
With the addition of Maurice Williams to lead the offense for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the resurrection of Ben Wallace on the defensive end the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting of to one of their best starts in franchise history. LeBron James all the while just keeps getting better year after year, if it’s a consolation he still does not have a consistent jumper. With that said Kobe Bryant still has the upperhand in a debate of who is the best NBA Basketball player in the league right now. But with LeBron James toying and having his way against any defense thrown at him by any team, who thinks that a left out Carmelo Anthony can handle the well improved LeBron James.
The Denver Nuggets have been very successful after acquiring Chauncey Billups from the Detroit Pistons. Sad to say the Detroit Pistons are not doing as good. After Allen Iverson left for the Detroit Pistons, the Denver Nuggets offense has flourished…
NBA Betting Tips on the new Phoenix Suns and the point spreads
Friday, December 19th, 2008
Now that the 
Phoenix Suns made a humongous blunder after blunder for their future, we take a look at the betting aspect of the basketball game when it comes to the new look Phoenix Suns. First of all a trade to acquire Shaq O’Neal which made them lose Shawn Marion to the Miami Heat was a Major mistake that lowered the teams fast paced action. Next they lose Mike D’Antoni to the New York Knicks, who as far as we are all concerned is doing a much better job than Terry Porter.
One rule of thumb for NBA franchises when it comes to your star players, keep them happy. The Phoenix Suns did the total opposite to Steve Nash when they traded Boris Diaw and Raja Bell who happens to be Steve Nash’s best friend on the team.
Despite dropping considerably from his high times in the Phoenix roster, Raja Bell is still a solid role player for the Phoenix Suns.
Lastly, where is Leandro Barbosa in the rotation?
The talented Brazilian has more than shown his skill numerous times both in the NBA post season and NBA Regular Season. If Terry Porter was a good coach he would know when and how long to use his players. So far the former Portland Trail Blazer point guard is mocking Steve Kerr to fire him. The abysmal record of the Phoenix Suns just shows us that they can be relied upon on both moneylines and point spreads…
Just bet against the Phoenix Suns up until they get a new head coach.

Can the Knicks sign LeBron James?
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008
Fixing the Knicks has been a tall order.
But if the Knicks can complete this master plan they started this 2008-09 NBA basketball season, then maybe, just maybe, the Knicks can finally fix their situation and finally get back to prominence.
What’s this plan you ask? Well, it is obvious that the New York Knicks, after trading away their top two scorers, are joining in on the LeBron James lottery.
With the departure 
of the Knicks’ top two scorers, that being Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph, via separate trades, the Knicks will now have to work doubly hard to manufacture points and other intangibles that the two players left.
Zach Randolph was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. Randoplh, who is averaging 20.6 points this season, gives the Clippers an accomplished low-post scorer to work with guard Baron Davis.
Jamal Crawford, on the other hand, was sent to the Golden State Warriors for Al Harrington. He is currently averaging almost 20 points per game.
By trading their two leading scorers, the Knicks will clear approximately $27 million in salary-cap space for the summer of 2010 when the biggest prize in NBA free agency history, Cleveland’s LeBron James, can become available.
Randolph will be making $17.3 million and Crawford $10.1 million in 2010. For the Knicks, this will create significant flexibility as that historic free-agent class of James, Dwyane Wade and…
2008 NFL Week 13 Sports Betting Tips
Friday, November 28th, 2008
NFL Week 13 continues this weekend.
Yes, it’s the 13th week of the 2008-09 NFL football season as teams start to clamor for playoff positions, hoping that week no.13 will be a lucky one for them.
NFL Week 13 continues Sunday as teams continue to jockey for position with the playoffs just around the corner. And since we’re talking about teams making moves for the postseason, let’s start with a team that has made great strides since struggling in the early stages of the football year, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.
The 7-4 Colts can finish the month 5-0 on Sunday against the struggling Cleveland Browns to cap a stunning turnaround to the season. They came from behind in the second half to beat the Patriots and the Steelers and after holding off Houston on Nov. 16 and getting a 51-yard Adam Vinatieri field goal as time expired for a 23-20 road win over the Chargers, it is safe to assume that the once mighty Colts are back being high and mighty again.

Next we have this game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. After snapping a four-game losing streak with their best offensive performance of the season, the Bills look to take advantage of a porous 49ers defense when the teams meet Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills were on the verge of losing out on the playoffs again, wasting the strong start they just had this season. But after beating the Chiefs in stunning fashion, 54-31, looks like the Bills are back, ready to make headlines again.

The high-flying Atlanta Falcons will take on the…
