England Look for Resurrection Under Capello

Fabio Capello’s first competitive game as England manager, presents one of the easiest opponents in World soccer, the tiny Andorra. The minnows shouldn’t present much of a problem to the mighty Three Lions, losing all twelve of their Euro 2008 qualifiers. However, under the previous incumbent, Steve McLaren, England laboured for 45 minutes away to Andorra, without finding the net, and looked unimpressive in the recent draw with the Czech Republic. Steven Gerrard is the only major absentee for the game in Barcelona for which PinnacleSports.com price England, unsurprisingly as heavy favourites on the World Cup Asian Handicaps. England 2.050 (-3.5 & -4)*, Andorra 1.877 (+3.5 & +4)*.

Capello’s first big challenge will came on Wednesday night in Zagreb, when they face Croatia, who famously did the double over them during Euro 2008 qualification, ending their hopes of reaching Austria and Switzerland. Croatia haven’t lost a competitive home game since 1994, and under Slavan Bilic, are becoming one of Europe’s most powerful soccer, while England have gone in the other direction. It promises to be the most intriguing game in World Cup qualifier betting menu at PinnacleSports.com, offering up to 60% better odds for the game than traditional bookmakers.

Holders Face Tricky Trip to Cyprus

World Cup holders, Italy, begin the defence of the title they won in Germany two years ago, with a tricky trip to Larnaca. Cyprus are enjoying a magical spell on the domestic front, with Famagusta becoming the first Cypriot side in the Champions League, and two further representative in the UEFA Cup. During Euro 2008, Cyprus gave notice of their potential as Giant Killers, beating the Republic of Ireland 5-2, Wales 3-1, and holding the mighty Germany to a 1-1 draw. The Azzurri are now back under the stewardship of Marcello Lippi, who led them to ultimate success in 2008, and is looking to repeat that triumph, starting in Cyprus on Saturday. Italy 2.060 (-1.5), Cyprus Cyprus 1.870 (+1.5). Get 60% better World Cup qualifier betting odds at PinnacleSports.com.

NFL Sunday Game Preview: September 3 Jets at Dolphins

September 3rd, 2008

NFL Betting Sunday Game Preview: September 3 New York Jets at Miami Dolphins

Football Betting Odds, 60% Better NFL Betting Odds

It will be an afternoon of debuts and drama when the Miami Dolphins host the New York Jets in Week 1 NFL action on Sunday. For the best odds on this game and on online NFL betting, make sure to visit the Pinnacle Sportsbook before the weekend.

Brett Favre makes his first regular season start for the Jets on Sunday, while former New York quarterback Chad Pennington is under center for the Dolphins. The Pinnacle Sportsbook have the Jets as 3-point road favourites for the contest, with the total listed at 36 points.

Favre and Pennington aren’t the only ones making their first appearances with their new teams. This is the first game for first-year Miami head coach Tony Sparano, who has promised to bring toughness to a squad that went 1-15 SU and 5-8-3 ATS last season under Cam Cameron.

This is also the national debut for rookie offensive tackle and 2008 first overall draft pick Jake Long. Bill Parcells and Dolphins brass are hoping Long can help protect Pennington in the pocket while giving running backs Ronnie Brown and the re-signed Ricky Williams some added room in the backfield.

Both teams were solid for punters in the preseason. The Fish were 3-1 SU and against the number, as the Jets put up the same record while going 2-1-1 ATS.

New York cashed both matchups between the AFC East rivals last season, including a 40-13 drilling at Dolphin Stadium as 2-point underdogs. Punters should also take note of the Jets’ 19-4-2 mark versus the spread in their last 25 meetings with the Dolphins.

Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles is expected to start on Sunday despite a leg injury that has him listed as day-to-day. Also listed as day-to-day is Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, who is banged-up with a knee injury.

MLB Betting Odds - Phillies, Mets in weekend clash (Sept. 5-7)

September 2nd, 2008

Bet online at Pinnacle Sports Betting for the best odds on all the Major League Baseball action, including an NL East showdown pitting the second-place Philadelphia Phillies vs. the division-leading New York Mets this weekend.

The Phillies were hoping to make up ground on New York this week, but lost the opener of a three-game series in Washington on Monday. Meanwhile, the Mets won a series opener in Milwaukee.

Going into Tuesday’s play the Mets led the Phillies by two games in the NL East, and Philly trailed the Brewers by 5.5 games in the NL Wild Card race.

Brett Myers (8-10, 4.40 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) is slated to start for Philadelphia on Friday night against Mike Pelfrey (13-8, 3.66, 1.35) for New York. Saturday’s FOX game of the week pits Jamie Moyer (12-7, 3.80, 1.37) of the Phils vs. Pedro Martinez (5-3, 5.07, 1.47) of the Mets. And Kyle Kendrick (11-7, 4.83, 1.56) takes his turn in the rotation for Philly against Johan Santana (12-7, 2.70, 1.14) for NY in ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball game.

The Phillies are only 10-15 when Myers starts this year, but a combined 34-22 when Moyer and Kendrick hit the hill. Meanwhile, New York is a combined 34-22 when Pelfrey and Santana start, but only 7-9 when Martinez takes the pill.

Also, the totals have gone a combined 21-30 when Myers and Moyer start this season, but 19-9 when Kendrick goes. And the O/Us are a combined 36-30 when Pelfrey, Martinez, and Santana start this year.

Philly was 12 games over .500 on the season through Monday, and two games over break-even on the road at 36-34. Meanwhile, the Mets were 16 games above .500 through Monday, both overall and at Shea Stadium (41-25).

The Phillies have won six of Myers’ last seven starts, and three of those wins came as underdogs. And they’ll likely be underdogs Friday night when Myers goes up against Pelfrey, for whom the Mets are only 9-8 this year when favored. New York will likely be significantly chalked on Saturday and Sunday.

This is the sixth and final series these two teams will play this regular season, and the Mets have won four of the first five. New York leads the season series vs. Philly 10-5, with the totals going 6-8-1 as the games have averaged 9.5 total runs.

Through Monday, the totals were 61-72 in Phillies games this year, 70-56 in Mets games, and 33-27 in games played at Shea Stadium, which were averaging 8.9 total runs.

NFL Betting Week 1 - Giants, Redskins kick off NFL season

September 1st, 2008

NFL Betting Week 1 - Giants, Redskins kick off NFL season

Football Betting Odds, 60% Better NFL Betting Odds

Bet online at Pinnacle Sports Betting for the best odds on online National Football League betting this 2008 season, which kicks off Thursday night when the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants host new head coach Jim Zorn and his Washington Redskins. Be sure to check out leading online sportsbook, PinnacleSports.com for up to 60% better value on NFL sides.

Pinnacle Sports Betting is listing New York as 3.5-point -105 home favorites (bet $105 to win $100) for Thursday’s game, with an over/under of 41. The Giants are also posted at -180 on the PinnacleSports.com moneyline, while Washington is getting +170 (bet $100 to win $170) as the road underdogs.

NBC will provide the live television coverage, beginning at 7:00pm Eastern.

The Redskins went 9-7 and made the playoffs last year, then had to find a new head coach when Joe Gibbs retired (again). After a longer-than-expected search, Washington settled on Zorn, the former quarterback and quarterback coach who’s never even been a coordinator, let alone a head coach.

Zorn is implementing a version of the West Coast offense, which can take time. Despite scoring 30 points in their preseason opener versus Indianapolis, the ‘Skins averaged just 13 points per game during the exhibition season.

So for the time being Washington may have to depend on its defense, which ranked eighth in the league overall last season at 305 yards-per-game and fourth versus the run at 91 YPG, to keep them in games.

The Redskins also ranked 15th in total offense last year at 333 YPG, 12th in rushing at 117 YPG, ninth in total yardage at +28 YPG, and seventh in time-of-possession at +2:20 per game.

The Giants, as you might have heard, won the Super Bowl last season (as 30/1 longshots at the Pinnacle Sportsbook), upsetting the undefeated New England Patriots out in the Phoenix suburbs in February. But since then they’ve taken a couple of hits on defense, as one starting DE, Michael Strahan, retired, and the other, Osi Umenyiora, hurt his knee in the preseason and is out for the year.

New York ranked seventh in total defense last year at 305 YPG, eighth versus the run at 98 YPG, 16th in total offense at 331 YPG, fourth in rushing at 134 YPG, sixth in TOP at +2:42, and 11th in total yardage at +26 YPG. 

These division rivals split their two meetings last season, each winning on the other’s home field. In Week 3, the Giants trailed the ‘Skins in D.C. at the half 17-3, then rallied for three second-half touchdowns to win 24-17. The G-Men pulled off the victory as 3.5-point road ‘dogs, and the game stayed under its total by one point.

In Week 15 the Redskins got a bit of revenge, beating the Giants 22-10 as 6-point road ‘dogs. Washington ran the ball 35 times for 153 yards, helping the game stay under its total of 36.

In those two games together New York outgained Washington 622-569, out-first-downed the ‘Skins 39-28, and held the ball for a 62-58 TOP advantage. The rushing yardage ended up exactly even at 235 yards apiece, and Washington only turned the ball over once, to the four TOs coughed up by the Giants.

On the injury front, New York kicker Lawrence Tynes has a sore knee, and is out for at least a week or two. As a result, the G-Men signed 44-year-old John Carney, who went 12/14 on FGs last season for Jacksonville and Kansas City, to fill in for Tynes.

The totals went 7-9 in ‘Skins games last season, which averaged 40 points. Meanwhile, the totals went 8-8 in Giants games last season, which averaged 45 points.

NCAA College Football Betting Odds - New College Kicks Off (Aug 28)

For the best odds on online NCAA football betting, make sure to visit the Pinnacle Sportsbook. This week is the last chance for NCAA football punters to cash in on futures odds to win the BCS Championship outright before the season gets underway on Thursday.

No. 3 USC is the preseason favourite to win the BCS title, priced at +350* to win the national championship in January. Southern California opens its season on Saturday when it travels to Virginia to face the Cavaliers. With first-string quarterback, Mark Sanchez, expected to be in the lineup, PinnacleSports NCAA Betting Lines has the Trojans as 20-point road favourites for the contest with the total set at 46 ½.

If you’re looking for more value on the NCAAF futures board, look no further than No. 6 Missouri. Heisman Trophy hopeful, Chase Daniel, leads the Tigers on Saturday against the No. 20 Illinois Fighting Illini, in a game that could have BCS implications for both schools. The Pinnacle Sportsbook has Mizzou as 8 ½-point home favourites for the tilt, with the Tigers priced at +1500* to win the BCS championship this season.

Also listed at +1500* to win it all is No. 9 Clemson, which hosts the most highly anticipated matchup of the weekend. The Tigers entertain No. 24 Alabama on Saturday, and are set as 5-point favourites on the NCAA Football betting lines at the Pinnacle Sportsbook for the matchup. Handicappers are expecting Clemson to be at the top of the ACC this season, so a solid performance against the talented Crimson Tide will go a long way in solidifying its status with sharp punters.

Just behind the Trojans on the futures list is No. 5 Florida, which is priced at +600* to win the BCS championship. The Gators are hoping to ride quarterback, Tim Tebow, to an opening-week victory over visiting Hawaii, who begin life after Colt Brennan on Saturday. Florida is set as huge 35-point favourites for the contest, with the total currently posted at 72.

The pre-season Bundesliga betting at PinnacleSports.com showed reigning Champions, Bayern Munich, as short odds to retain their title under new coach, Jurgen Klinsmann. The Bavarians, however, failed to impress last weekend on matchday one, drawing at home to Hamburg, and though still favourites for the German championship Bayern Munich have slipped to 1.667* in the outright Bundesliga betting at PinnacleSports.com. Check out the Bundesliga Asian Handicaps for matchday two of the new season, available at just 101% margins every Friday from 2pm (CET).

Bayern Munich Face Tough Trip to Dortmund

Bayern Munich looked to have made the perfect start to the new season under new coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, scoring twice in the first 16 minutes at home to Hamburg. HSV however, hadn’t read the script, levelling the scores with goals either side of half-time, which means for the first time in five years that Bayern Munich didn’t win on the opening day of the season. The Bavarians have conceded five goals in their opening two competitive games, having struggled past third division Elfurt 4-3, on August 10th.

Bayern are certainly missing Luca Toni, Franck Ribery and Martin Demichelis, but must regroup before Saturday’s tough fixture at Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund will be buzzing after an impressive 3-2 opening win at Bayer Leverkusen, but lost Brazilian defender, Dede, to cruciate ligament damage. The club have also sold Croatian international striker, Mladen Petric, to Hamburg, receiving Egyptian international, Mohamed Zidan, in a straight swap. Dortmund and Munich faced each other in the German Super Cup at the end of July, with Borussia upsetting the odds with a 2-1 win, while this fixture last season ended as a 0-0 draw.

Both clubs will hope players return safely from international duty, and PinnacleSports.com price Dortmund 2.100 (0 & +0.5)* with Bayern Munich 1.833 (0 & -0.5)*. Don’t forget the margins on Bundesliga Asian Handicaps are reduced even further to 101% every Friday from 2pm CET.

To add even further excitement to betting on the Bundesliga, PinnacleSports.com’s low margin pricing has also been applied to the new live soccer betting markets for the Bundesliga with 1.95/1.95 style live Asian Handicap pricing and in-running Total goals betting.

United Look to Get Off Mark on South Coast

Manchester United suffered the absence of some key attacking personnel last weekend, limping to a 1-1 draw against Newcastle, a team they hammered 6-0 last season at the Theatre of Dreams. Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez were absent along Luis Nani and Anderson, leaving Wayne Rooney to toil up front on his own. There were some unfamiliar names on the bench, and coach, Alex Ferguson, has few options for Monday’s game against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Portsmouth lost just four times at home last season, and held United to 1-1 draw almost 12 months ago. Harry Redknapp’s side were taken to pieces at Stamford Bridge on the opening day, but they are different proposition on their own turf. Redknapp will know that this is a good time to be playing the Champions, so his team will be in their faces from kick-off. Nevertheless, PinnacleSports.com’s Premiership betting prices Man Utd favourites 1.971 (-0.5 & -1)* with Portsmouth 1.952 (+0.5 & +1)* – a market priced to less than 102%.

Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal Setting Early Pace

Three of the Premiership’s big four recorded wins on day one of the new Premier League season, and Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal will be aware that they can capitalise on a weakened Man Utd. The Red Devils are notoriously slow starters, so their close rivals must take full advantage. Chelsea travel to the JJB Stadium, facing a Wigan side who lost 2-1 to West Ham on matchday 1. The Blues are favourites 2.080 (-1 & -1.5)* leading soccer bookmaker, PinnacleSports.com.

Liverpool play their first home Premiership game of the season, where the Kop will be every hopeful that this season they can provide a realistic title challenge. Fernando Torres did the business last weekend, and a lot of hope rests of the young Spaniard’s shoulders. Liverpool are 1.917 (-1 & -1.5)* hosting Middlesbrough, conquerors of Tottenham on the opening day of the 2008/09 Premier League.

Arsenal laboured to 1-0 win over newly West Brom at the Emirates on Saturday. Coach, Arsene Wenger, will want a better display in this weekend’s London Derby against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Fulham’s defeat away to Hull suggests they will struggle again this season. PinnacleSports.com price Arsenal 1.826 (-0.5 & -1)*.

To add even further excitement to betting on the Premiership, PinnacleSports.com’s low margin pricing has also been applied to the new live soccer betting markets for the Premier League, with 1.95/1.95 style live Asian Handicap pricing and in-running Total goals betting.

60% Better NASCAR Betting Odds at Pinnaclesports.com


NASCAR Betting Odds - Sharpie 500 Betting Preview (Aug 23)

For the best odds on online NASCAR betting, make sure to visit the Pinnacle Sportsbook before Saturday’s Sharpie 500 under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway. Richard Childress Racing looks to repeat its success at Bristol from earlier in the season, when Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick, and Clint Bowyer finished 1-2-3 at the short track back in March.

SIGN-UP NOW FOR 60% BETTER NASCAR BETTING ODDS

PinnacleSports.com has Burton listed at 22.800* to win the race outright, with Harvick priced at 11.480* and Bowyer on the board at 20.450*. NASCAR punters looking at Harvick are bolstered by Harvick’s win at Bristol in 2005, although it’s Kurt Busch (15.890*) who’s had the most success at the track of any driver.

Busch has five wins at Bristol in 15 career starts, the same amount as Hendrick Motorsports veteran, Jeff Gordon (10.390*). Gordon has needed 31 races at Bristol to garner his five victories, and has won the pole position five times. More important for NASCAR betting is Gordon’s consistency on this track, with 18 top 10s and 12 top five finishes to his credit.

Carl Edwards (7.670*) and Sprint Cup Series points leader, Kyle Busch (6.610*), are the pre-race favourites. Edwards took the checkered flag at Michigan last week, and won this race a year ago. A winner on both the Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series at Bristol, Edwards has an average finish at Bristol of 15.4.

Greg Biffle (17.020*) could be the sharpest pick in the field, having the lowest average finish of any driver in the Series at 9.7. Biffle is challenged in that category by Matt Kenseth (13.660*), who won at Bristol in both 2005 and 2006. The public is leaning on Dale Earnhardt Jr. (9.320*) heading into the weekend. Junior was the winner at the Sharpie 500 in 2004, and is primed to challenge the younger Busch atop the Chase standings.

MLB Betting Odds - Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies (Aug 22-25)

For the best odds on online baseball betting, make sure to visit the Pinnacle Sportsbook before the series between the Phillies and Dodgers gets underway on Friday. The Los Angeles Dodgers (64-60, -4.13 units) look to continue their dominance of the Philadelphia Phillies (66-58, -4.18 units) when the teams meet this weekend at Citizens Bank Park, and you can get 60% better MLB betting lines at PinnacleSports.com, offering 8 cent moneylines and 10 cent runlines.

The Brewers won 16 of their first 24 games after the All-Star break, and led the NL wild-card race going into this week by three games over their division rival St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee is proving itself this season by winning on the road; after going 32-49 away from home last year, the Brewers are 32-28 on the road this season.

SIGN-UP NOW FOR 60% BETTER MLB BETTING ODDS

The Dodgers swept the Phillies in their four-game set last week at Dodger Stadium, winning 3-1 on August 14 as -117 home favourites at the Pinnacle Sportsbook. Hiroki Kuroda allowed only one run over seven innings to earn the win for Los Angeles, as the game played under the 8.5-run total.

Lefthander Clayton Kershaw (2-3, 3.59 ERA) gets the ball for the Dodgers in Game 1, while the Phillies counter with Kyle Kendrick (10-7, 5.01 ERA). Kershaw is 1-0 with a 2.37 ERA over his last three starts, which bodes well for Los Angeles punters considering Kendrick’s last few outings. The Phillies righthander has a 9.00 ERA in his last three trips to the hill.

The starters have not yet been announced for Saturday’s Game 2, but it’s Kuroda (7-8, 3.68 ERA) against Phillies righty Joe Blanton (6-12, 4.79 ERA) for Sunday’s showdown. Kuroda is undefeated over his last three trips to the hill with a sparkling 1.21 ERA, as Blanton heads into the game with a 1-0 record and stellar 2.37 ERA in the month of August.

Both teams enter the pivotal series with injury trouble. Dodgers’ second baseman Jeff Kent is dealing with a sore left foot, and Andruw Jones is on the 15-day disabled list with patellar tendonitis in his knee. Phillies’ third baseman Pedro Feliz is on the 15-day DL with a bulging disc in his back, while setup man Tom Gordon remains sidelined with inflammation in his right elbow.

The series finale is set for Monday night at 7:05 PM EST. The starting pitchers have not yet been announced.
