Service Plays Saturday 1/29/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

NFL Pro Bowl: What bettors need to know

AFC vs. NFC (-1, 63)

Can’t wait until the Super Bowl to get your football betting fix? The Pro Bowl’s got you covered.

Some of the AFC and NFC’s brightest stars will line up in Hawaii for the NFL’s annual all-star game Sunday. Here are a few things you need to know if you’re considering betting on the game.

Odds

The NFC is a small favorite, opening as 1-point chalk. The total is set at 63.

What’s at stake?

Not much, other than pride and a few extra shekels in the players’ bank accounts. Each player on the winning team will receive $45,000, while players on the losing team get $22,500.

History lesson

The AFC won last year’s Pro Bowl 41-31 and has been victorious in six of its last 10 showdowns with the NFC.

The highest-scoring Pro Bowl in the last decade was 2004, when the NFC edged the AFC 55-52. The lowest-scoring contest during that span was in 2006, a 23-17 win by the NFC.

The AFC, which has been held to 30 points or less just twice in the past 10 years, holds a 14-11 edge in the all-time series.

Breaking down the skill positions

Comparing one Pro Bowl roster to the next is like comparing diamonds. Each is very special but also has its specific flaws.

The AFC’s offense boasts the NFL’s leading passer, San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers. He’ll be tossing to the league’s top receiver, Denver’s Brandon Lloyd and Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne, who finished third in receiving yards. The Chiefs’ Dwayne Bowe and Patriots’ Wes Welker round out the AFC’s WR corps.

On the ground, the AFC hands the ball to NFL leading rusher, Houston’s Arian Foster, as well as the second-leading rusher, Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles, and former rushing champ Chris Johnson.

The NFC has a dual-threat in Michael Vick, who can do damage through the air and on the ground. At receiver, the conference goes with Atlanta’s Roddy White, Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, Dallas' Miles Austin and Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald, giving the NFC a size advantage on the wings, especially when you add tight ends Jason Witten and Tony Gonzalez into the mix.

The NFC’s rushing attack is led by Atlanta’s Michael Turner, Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson and St. Louis’ Steven Jackson, presenting a smash-mouth ground game that would rather run through tacklers than around them.

Peterson, who won the MVP award in 2008, has a chance to become the all-time touchdown leader in the Pro Bowl if he finds the end zone this Sunday, giving him four career scores in the all-star event.

No Super players

Last year’s decision by the NFL to move the Pro Bowl ahead two weeks means players on this year’s Super Bowl teams won’t be in the all-star game.

The absence of Pittsburgh and Green Bay players will be most felt on the defensive side of the ball. The Steelers’ James Harrison, Troy Polamalu and Brett Keisel will all be missing in action, as will the Packers’ Nick Collins, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams.

The NFC’s offence will have to make do without Green Bay’s Greg Jennings and Chad Clifton, while the AFC will be without Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey.

Injury bug

Several of the AFC’s top offensive players won’t be playing in Hawaii.

Tom Brady, Maurice Jones-Drew, Andre Johnson and Antonio Gates were all selected as starters but will not be playing due to various injuries. Replacing them on the AFC roster are Matt Cassel, Chris Johnson, Wes Welker and Zach Miller.

All the NFC’s selected offensive starters will suit up Sunday except for Eagles tackle Jason Peters and WR DeSean Jackson.

Defensively, the AFC will be without Dwight Freeney, Richard Seymour and Ed Reed, while the NFC will miss the services of Ndamukong Suh, Patrick Willis, Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher and Asante Samuel.

Eager for Vick-tory

Don’t count Mike Vick among the players that fail to take a Pro Bowl appearance seriously.

The former dog-killer is eager to cap off his remarkable comeback season with a strong showing at the all-star game.

“I’m very thankful and happy to be here and I’m going to try and put on a great show for the fans,” Vick told reporters. “This one feels great due to the fact that I’ve been through so much. To be able to get back to this position is paramount to me and I’m just thankful.”

Matt Ryan and Drew Brees will back up Vick Sunday, while Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Cassel will be under center for the AFC.

Pick 'n' roll: Saturday's best basketball bets

NBA

New Orleans Hornets at Sacramento Kings (6, 186.5)

It’s all about defense for the Hornets. New Orleans has used a dedicated team approach to shutting down opponents during its 10-game winning streak. It has held opponents to 89 or fewer points nine times in this span.

Overall, the Hornets are the stingiest team in the league, giving up just 90.9 points per game. What’s been key for New Orleans is its ability to be diverse at shutting down opponents.The team practices mixing in a zone look, along with several different ways to defend pick and rolls.

And then there is the inspired play of David West and Emeka Okafor in the frontcourt.

“He wants us to attack teams,’’ West said. “Defensively is where you can really make your mark in terms of what type of team you want to have.’’

Sacramento, meantime, isn’t that interested at working hard. The team averages just 97 points per game, putting them 21st in the league, and makes a mere 43.9 percent of their shots – 26th lowest mark in the game.

The Kings have failed to reach their season average in points five times over their past 10 games and, not surprisingly, are 2-3 SU over that span. Overall, the Kings have dropped eight of their past 10. The team is also missing key contributor Francisco Garcia (9.3 ppg) and are just 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS since he suffered a calf injury.

Pick: New Orleans

COLLEGE FUNDS

NCAAB

BYU Cougars at New Mexico Lobos (3, 152)

Don’t expect the Cougars to have a letdown during their trip to The Pit. Coming off a 71-58 win over previously-undefeated San Diego State in arguably the biggest basketball game in Mountain West Conference history, BYU can’t get fat and lazy and look past a talented Lobos team.

But focusing on the road has been no problem for BYU this season. The team has one of the best true road records in the nation at 7-0 SU and a solid 4-2 ATS. The Cougars have posted wins on the courts of Utah, UNLV, Vermont, Creighton and a reinvigorated Colorado State.

Then again, it’s pretty easy to win anywhere with Jimmer Fredette. The leading candidate for National Player of the Year has topped 30 points 15 times in his career, with 13 of those coming away from Provo.

"I don't think too much about it," Fredette said. "I think the thing with me is, on the road, I take it as a challenge. It is tough to win road games in our league, or anywhere. So I take it on myself to be the starter, to get things going and be aggressive.”

Overall, Fredette has topped 40 points three times in his past four games, including twice on an opponent’s court. BYU also is 7-3 SU and ATS in its past 10 games against New Mexico.

Pick: BYU

Bettor's best friend (BBF): Saturday's wagering tips

Line to watch

New Jersey Nets at Milwaukee Bucks (-6, 179)

The Bucks have been hit hard by injuries this season, but may have star point guard Brandon Jennings back in the lineup against the Nets.

Jennings has been out since Dec. 20 with a broken bone in his left foot. Head coach Scott Skiles said that Jennings should be able to suit up for Saturday’s tilt and will play next week for sure.

The 21-year-old Jennings is averaging 17.9 points, 5.5 assists and four rebounds per game. His presence could push Milwaukee to be even larger favourites against a Nets squad that is just 3-21 on the road this season.

Who’s hot?

The New Orleans Hornets are 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games and have won 10 straight overall. Their run should continue as they face the Sacramento Kings, a team that is just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games against winning teams. The Hornets are current a six-point favorite.

Who’s not?

The Louisville Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last five against Big East teams. Not a good trend heading into a contest with the Connecticut Huskies, who are 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five against the Big East. The Huskies are currently a 3.5-point favorite.

Injury not to be overlooked

JaVale McGee, Washington Wizards – McGee did not play in Friday night’s game against Oklahoma City with the flu and the illness could very well carry over into Saturday’s tilt against Memphis. McGee has had an up-and-down season as a point contributor, averaging just 9.3 per game, but he contributes eight rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. He is a key part of the team’s defense and having him absent or playing less than 100 percent would be a huge obstacle for a Washington club that is still searching for its first road victory of the season.

Game of the day

Atlanta Hawks at Dallas Mavericks (-4.5, 188)

Notable Quotable

“It still hurts, but this is a game that I love, so I should be able to play. I’ve been eating portions of things, but I haven’t had a whole meal in three or four days.” – Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose on the stomach ulcers that have been threatening his playing status the past week. Rose is expected to play in Friday’s game against Orlando and should play in Saturday’s tilt with Indiana.

Tips and notes

The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed back safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Bryant McFadden to practice Friday for the first time since the Steelers won the AFC Championship over New York. Polamalu and McFadden are essential components of Pittsburgh’s secondary and having them get some practice time in is good for coach Mike Tomlin’s crew.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love has released a cologne, titled “Numb#rs,” in an attempt to gather votes for the All-Star game. This move clearly proves that Love is gunning for an All-Star selection, so one should expect his play to pick up as well as Minnesota closes in on the All-Star break.

New Jersey Nets point guard Jordan Farmar sat out Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers with a lower back strain. Farmar is averaging 9.5 points and 4.4 assists in just over 24 minutes per game as the backup for Devin Harris. It is unknown whether Farmar will be able to play in Saturday’s road game against Minnesota.

Senior Bowl: What bettors need to know

North vs. South (+1, 44.5)

THE SKINNY: Many of the nation’s top senior standouts will face off on teams from the North and South at the Senior Bowl, held in Mobile, Alabama Saturday.

It will be televised on the NFL Network starting with the pregame at 4 p.m. ET.

With the stands full of NFL scouts, players can help or hurt their draft stock, so unlike the Pro Bowl, the Senior Bowl offers spirited play from the competitors.

THE COACHES: The North is coached by the staff of the Cincinnati Bengals, led by Marvin Lewis. The South will be coached by Chan Gailey and the Buffalo Bills’ staff.

The consensus is the coaches will prepare as they do for a preseason game. Cincy went 2-3 while Buffalo was 2-2 in this preseason, though the Bills hammered the Bengals 35-20 in a preseason game Aug. 28.

THIS YEAR’S ‘TEBOW’: Last year, the lightning rod player was Florida QB Tim Tebow, who wanted to prove he could play in a pro-style offense. But Tebow came into the week sick, played poorly and his draft stock suffered.

This year, the player will the most eyes on him will be Washington QB Jake Locker for the North. The top pro QB prospect going into the college football season, Locker struggled and didn’t put up the numbers many expected.

THE NORTH: Lewis has indicated Locker will start, followed by Iowa’s Ricky Stanzi and Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick.

The North features three offensive linemen with first-round talent (led by Outland Trophy winner Gabe Carimi of Wisconsin), will have the likes of Oklahoma’s DeMarco Murray and Nebraska’s Roy Helu, Jr. at RB and Boise State’s Titus Young at WR. North’s offense looks to be very explosive.

THE SOUTH: While the North’s offense looks superior on paper to the South, the South’s defense will be strong at each level. It is led by Texas A&M LB Von Miller, the Dick Butkus Award winner, with a stout defensive line led by Pernell McPhee of Mississippi State and Phil Taylor of Baylor.

South’s offense is led by players who just win. Alabama’s Greg McElroy is a steady pocket passer and TCU’s Andy Dalton has great scrambling ability, while Florida State’s Christian Ponder is likely the most NFL-ready. Gailey has not revealed his QB rotation, only saying that all three will receive equal playing time.

D.J. Williams, the nation’s top tight end from Arkansas, could be a key piece. Explosive RB Noel Devine of West Virginia will run behind an O-line led by TCU’s Jake Kirkpatrick.

INJURY REPORT: The North suffered a blow when Oregon State DL Stephen Paea, the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year, suffered a knee injury during practice and won’t play.

Von Miller did not practice for the South on Thursday due to illness, but still hopes to play. Florida OL Marcus Gilbert will not play for the South (foot injury).

BOWL HISTORY: In the last 10 games, each team has won five times. Michigan DL Brandon Graham was the MVP of last year’s game, a 31-13 rout by the North. The year before, West Virginia QB Pat White led the South to a 35-18 victory.

TRENDS: Since 2002 only one Senior Bowl game has been decided by single digits (South won 17-16 in 2008). … In that same span, the average margin of victory is 15.6 points per game. … Total points have exceeded 38 points in a game three times in the last eight years.

Georgetown at Villanova: What bettors need to know

Georgetown Hoyas at Villanova Wildcats

History lesson

The home team won and covered the number in both meetings between these Big East rivals last year. Both matchups played over the total, but the under has cashed five of the last eight times they’ve hooked up since the start of 2007.

With that said, you don’t have to go back far to find the last time the Hoyas won here at the Pavilion. Less than two years ago, in February of 2009, Georgetown rolled into town as a 6.5-point underdog and walked away with a 56-54 victory.

This will be the only meeting between the Hoyas and Wildcats this season, unless they cross paths in the Big East Tournament.

Home fires burning

Villanova has long owned a decisive advantage at the Pavilion and that’s held true here in 2011.

Since opening Big East play with a dominant 81-65 win over Rutgers, the Wildcats have gone a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS as hosts. All three of their home wins in-conference have come by double-digits.

Villanova got off to a similarly hot start last season, but did end up losing twice on its home floor and posted a mediocre 4-5 ATS record at home in Big East play.

Up to speed

The Hoyas made a concerted effort to pick up the pace over their last three games and the results have been staggering.

Georgetown has scored at least 74 points in each of its last three games – all victories. Keep in mind, the Hoyas had been held to fewer than 60 points in each of their three previous contests – all losses.

It will be interesting to see if Villanova chooses to run with the Hoyas or force them into more halfcourt sets.

The Wildcats also prefer to play up-tempo basketball, but it may not be in their best interest against an opponent that can trade punches with them all afternoon long.

Keeping their guard up

It’s no secret that the key to slowing down Villanova’s high-powered offense is by limiting the effectiveness of its guards, namely Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher.

Providence was able to do just that earlier this week, holding the duo to just seven points apiece in a shocking upset victory.

Stokes and Fisher weren’t the only two Villanova shooters that struggled on that night, as the entire team shot just 32.5 percent from the field.

The Wildcats were held to 68 points in the loss. They’ve yet to be held under 70 points in back-to-back games this season.

Georgetown doesn’t exactly possess a lockdown defense. The Hoyas currently rank 141st in the nation in scoring defense (66.5 points per game) and 116th in terms of opponents’ field goal percentage (41.6 percent).

Injury report

While Villanova heads into Saturday’s game at full strength, Georgetown does have one question mark.

Forward Julian Vaughn has started every game this season, but he’s dealing with an ankle injury and could miss Saturday’s game.

Vaughn has been a key contributor, averaging eight points and 23 minutes per game. He also leads the Hoyas in rebounding with six boards per game.

Looking ahead

This is the start of an important three-game homestand for Villanova. The Wildcats will host Marquette Wednesday before welcoming West Virginia to town next Saturday.

Georgetown will have Sunday off before returning to the court to host Louisville Monday night. The Hoyas will play three of their next four games at home, including matchups with Providence and Marquette.

The real Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a Saturday is on BYU (-3) at New Mexico.

Laying points at The Pit is a rare scenario as the Lobos at home are perennially a great team that has that Cameron Indoor type advantage when on their floor. But right now Jimmer Fredette and the Cougars are a legit Top 10 team at worst and I do not at all expect a letdown from this team after the quality victory over San Diego State.

BYU has been phenomenal all season long. They are 20-1 overall and have beaten some decent enough schools as the Cougs backcourt continues to wreak a ton of havoc on all comers. I'm not saying that the Lobos won't compete and stand toe-to-toe for awhile but in the end it's just not going to happen as Dave Rose' boys are just too freakin' good right now. Fredette very well may be thee single best player in the nation and Noah Hartsock, Jackson Emery and freshman Kyle Collingsworth are no joke as well. BYU is a well-coached and experienced team that will not just wet the bed being on the road. We saw that at UNLV and Utah as those games were really not even close.

New Mexico is 14-7 overall and 2-4 in the Mountain West. So far they just do not seem to be the team they have been over the last few seasons and have now lost three of the last four games. The Lobos are still pretty good and somewhat dangerous at home but it's just asking a ton in this spot against a clear cut better team led by a player who is on a mission and just cannot be stopped.

Fredette may not score in the 40's again but the guy will be great as always in leading the Cougs to a 7-10 point victory in the end.

The pick: BYU -3

Saturday's winner...

Today, my best bet is my 400-Unit Big Ten Book Buster on the Wisconsin Badgers as they are road favoritis at Penn State. As I releacse this play at 1:15 a.m. PST, Wisconsin is a 4 1/2-point favorites at most Las Vegas sportsbooks and at ofoshore locations.
Completing the sweep today is my 100-Unit Pac-10 Smart Play on the USC Trojans as they are big underdogs in Tucson, Ariz. against Arizona. As I release this play, USC is a 7 1/2-point underdog at Las Vegas sportsbooks and at offshore sites.
