double-dime bet422 SFX 2.0 (-115) Sportsbetting.com vs 421 GBP
Analysis: This line opened up at San Fran -3 and now they are catching a couple of points at home. I'm not sure why the public jumped on the Packers because they are backing the wrong side here. One of my contacts was actually up with the 49ers this week at their training camp and he said they are taking this game very seriously after getting embarrassed by the Raiders a week ago. J.T. O' Sullivan will play most of the first half but Shaun Hill and Alex Smith will both get a lot of playing time in the third and fourth quarters. On the other side, the Packers showed last week that they currently have the worst stable of quarterbacks in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is fine but Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn aren't ready to lead an NFL offense at this point in their careers. My contact told me that the 49ers worked on a lot of blitz packages this week in practice to get after the Packers pass-first offense. From what I'm hearing, the Pack are preparing more for next week while the 49ers want to make a statement in this game. I think San Fran wins this one easily at home tonight, so I'll gladly take the two points and go against the public.

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Selection: Baltimore/Detroit Over 10 (-110)
Reason: Put us down on the Baltimore Orioles/Detroit Tigers Over 10 for our Free MLB Selection on Saturday. Today we expect a high-scoring game as the Baltimore Orioles do battle with the Detroit Tigers. One reason why we expect a high-scoring game is because both these teams will send to the mound struggling starting pitchers. This says it all... The Baltimore Orioles Starting Pitcher (Dennis Sarfate) has a 11.45 ERA in his last 3 starts, while the Detroit Tigers Starting Pitcher (Justin Verlander) has a 8.66 ERA in his last 3 starts. As you can see, both these starting pitchers will most likely give up many runs today. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams, and we expect to see another high-scoring game today! Take the Baltimore Orioles/Detroit Tigers Over 10!

Sat, 08/16/08 - 7:30 PMNick "BookieKiller" Parsons | NFL Total
double-dime bet412 JAC / 411 MIA Over 34.5 Bodog
Analysis:
OVER in Jacksonville In Week One the Dolphins game stayed under the total as they managed just six points. However, look for a big bounce back from the Miami offense this week as they are emphasizing that side of the ball after playing so poorly in the 17-6 loss to Tampa Bay. To put up just six points at home means a little extra effort from the offense as they head to Jacksonville for this Week Two match-up. The Jaguars know all about preseason offense as they scored twenty points in last weeks win. It was the sixth time in their last seven preseason games that a Jacksonville game went over the total. With a 15-6 preseason record it is evident that Jaguars Coach Jack Del Rio puts an emphasis on wining in preseason . To win this game, Jacksonville is once again going to have to score at least 20, in our opinion, and thats why the play here is the over. The Dolphins will be trying to open things up on offense after their dismal effort versus the Buccaneers in Week One. Keep in mind that the Dolphins have a new head coach in Tony Sparano and hes in his first season as an NFL coach. This means he will certainly be hungrier than the average coach is in the preseason and, yet, Del Rio of the Jags is certainly not average! That means both coaches will be pushing a bit on offense Saturday evening. With the Dolphins, the position battles have been opened up because of the new head coach and that means a little extra intensity for this game. The Dolphins QB rotation is also battling it out in this one. Note that the Dolphins signing of Chad Pennington from the Jets adds even more intrigue to the QB battle as it had been a three-way race between Josh McCown, Chad Henne, and John Beck. Adding fuel to the Dolphins desire to perform well this week is that Bill Parcells is in a management position with Miami now and he has a well-deserved reputation as a no-nonsense guy. In other words, even though it was only a preseason game, Parcells wasnt pleased with seeing his Dolphins score just six points. Look for a much more wide open game this week and, as a result, an easy Over!

he must be feelin it cause I hear he'll have ANOTHER 300* playon sunday
Yeah, Sebass' 300* play is my favorite play of any capper. I generally bet my max on this game. I guess if its not posted by 3pm PT, I'll have to get it myself. I just don't like to pay for something if someone already has it. His 300* play is usually on a favorite, so the earlier you have it, the better because the line will go up the closer to game time.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Prediction: LA Dodgers -136
Grade: ONE-Star (rated 1 to 6 units)
The Dodgers are playing host to the Milwaukee Brewers for a weekend series and took game one on Friday night with a 5 to 3 win. That win by the Dodgers extended their current winning streak to five games.
Both of these teams will be looking to improve their playoff chances as they do battle tonight. Each starterʼs record is below .500 on the season but the Dodgers Lowe has pitched well at home while Bush has struggled on the road with the exception of a win over Cincinnati on August 5th.
The Dodgers are 7-2 their last 9 overall and 12-3 at home including a perfect 7-0 their last 7. LA is 42-20 in their last 62 against the Brewers, 4-1 this year and 21-8 their last 29 when these two get together at Dodger Stadium including 11-3 the last 14.
The Brewers have struggled when Bush takes the hill on the highway posting a record of 2-6 and his ERA is 6.19 in ten road appearances. The Brewers are 8-22 their last 30 overall on the road.
Lowe is 2-1 with a 3.82 ERA in seven career appearances versus the Brewers, including a no-decision on May 18 in Milwaukee, where he allowed four runs on six hits in six innings as L.A. got the win 6 to 4. Bush faced the Dodgers twice back in 2006, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA, losing a 10 to 2 decision in the one start in Los Angeles.
Our Pitcher Power Index Ratings have Lowe only allowing the Brewers to plate 3.1 runs while Bush gets tagged for 5.9 runs in tonightʼs contest. Our Team Power Index Ratings have the Dodgers extending their winning streak to 6 games with a win tonight by a final score of 7 to 3.

GRADED PREDICTION: 1* LOS ANGELES DODGERS -136
THE MILLER GROUP
Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers
PICK: San Francisco 49ers
As good as the Packers first-team offense looked last week, we can't back them here, knowing that we'll see a pair of true rookies take the field for the better part of three quarters in Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn. Neither could move the offense last week, and that's unlikely to change against a tough 49ers defense. San Francisco is in desperate need of a win after that ugly effort last week, and they'll get it tonight.
San Francisco's offense was non-existent in Oakland last Saturday, and while it isn't likely to improve a great deal in just a week, we do expect them to score enough to get by the Packers. There's a real QB competition going on right now in Niners camp, with Alex Smith, Shaun Hill, and J.T. O'Sullivan all battling for the job. What they lack in talent, perhaps they can make up for in drive and determination on Saturday. The reality is, we should only need a couple of scores to cash this ticket.
Mike Nolan has been a strong preseason coach, leading the Niners to an 8-3-1 ATS record over the last three years heading into '08. He knows the importance of this game, as it will be the first viewing for a group of fans that is quickly losing confidence in the direction this team is headed. With a tough matchup at Soldier Field on deck next week, this is the time to bag a victory.
Last Monday was certainly Green Bay's game to win as they tried to put the whole Favre saga behind them. While it wasn't a poor effort on the whole, the Packers just didn't do enough from the second quarter on to make us believe they can go out on the road and win a game less than a week later. The Niners win this one ugly. Take San Francisco (3*).

Toronto Blue Jays @ Boston Red Sox
PICK: Toronto Blue Jays
Getting Roy Halladay at this price versus Paul Byrd puts me on Toronto.
Halladay has the best ERA (1.93) in the American League since June 30. He's a proven elite winner. Byrd is a proven innings-eater type who just happens to be on a hot roll.
Byrd is 4-0 with a 1.24 ERA in his last four starts. He's been pitching way above his head. This is his first start for Boston, so there's a lot of pressure and unfamiliarity.
The Blue Jays are playing well, winning seven of their last 10 games and seven of their past 10 on the road. They've also defeated the Red Sox in eight of their past 10 meetings.
