NBA Season Begins Tonight

Tip off to the 2010-11 NBA Season is underway - hard to believe the regular season begins tonight as it feels like the finals just ended the other day. The season starts with a marquee matchup between the Celtics and the Heat.  Later on we see two other games with the Trail Blazers vs the Suns and the Lakers taking on the Rockets. 

As reported on ESPN, Lebron James better watch out as a Cleveland radio show has hired a witch doctor to put a curse on James.  No sour grapes from the Cavs fans at all eh?http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=5730079

 Season win total bets are closed now, but it will be interesting to see if the Heat live up to all the hype and if the Lakers can repeat with 5-2 odds.

An early look at the NFL Week #8 games worth a best bet:

Panthers @ Rams (-3)
St. Louis has been under-rated all year.  This team almost pulled off a road upset against Tampa last week - leading for most of the game and ended up covering.  They get a fabulous matchup this week with the Kitties coming to town.  The Panthers barely beat a terrible 49ers squad at home.  With Steven Jackson expected to play this week this line should have been higher and we like Sam Bradford and his boys to win big this week.   Kitties 9  Rams 24

Bills @ Chiefs (-8)
At first glance this might be an opportunity to take the points and fad the favourite here, but the Bills this past week were a flukey cover against Baltimore.  The Ravens just came off a loss and were not 'up' for playing the worst team in the NFL.  The Chiefs won against Jacksonville and should have no problem beating the Bills here with a solid run game.  I see lots of points getting scored,  Bills 24, Chiefs 34

Redskins @ Lions (-3)
The Lions have covered nearly all their games this year.  Fresh off a bye, with their starting QB Stafford back in the lineup and more rest for Javid Best and Calvin Johnson to heal minor injuries, this team is prime to give a tired Redskins squad a hard time this week.  The Skins were extremely lucky to win against a turnover prone Bears squad.  Like the Lions to get win #2 this week.  Redskins 17  Lions 34

Othere early leans....

• Although they can't win at home, the Dolphins look interesting as dogs to against an over-rated Bengals team.
• The Broncos will be hungry to get their manhood back against the 49ers who are staring their backup QB.

With the world series starting tomorrow we are in gambling heaven.   NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA football all happening right now.  Enjoy!
