Most people are getting excited in the racebook for the Breeders Cup Stakes but we’ve got events to bet on before then. Let’s take a look at the Thursday night college football action.

College Football Matchup: North Carolina Tar Heels @ Virginia Tech Hokies

Online Betting odds: Virginia Tech -17.5

 

Virginia Tech

 

The North Carolina Tar Heels have been an absolute nightmare this year. They were supposed to be a decent contender in the ACC but instead, they are 4-3 and have yet to win a conference game. The Tar Heels hit rock bottom last week with a loss to Florida State where they blew an 18-point third quarter lead. The Hokies are rested off of their bye and will roll.

NFL picks: Hokies -16.5

While most people have their eye on the district attorney and what they plan to do with the potential betting ring involving the tennis scandal and No. 6 seed Caroline Wozniacki, our main focus is still the daily betting. Let’s take a look through the BetOnline.com book and make some picks for the weekend:

NFL Betting: New England Patriots @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers get to lose a home game this week as the NFL scheduled this contest for London, England. On top of that, they are 0-6 and desperate to get a win, but they have to face the New England Patriots. Good luck. By the way, the Bucs defense gave up over 250 rushing yards last week and they lead the league in passing plays allowed of 40 yards or longer. Enter Tom Brady and Randy Moss as the Pats surpass 50 points for a second straight week.

NFL picks: Patriots -14.5

The College Football Weekend should be a good one with plenty of key matchups but we get a good one on Thursday night as well with a Top 25 matchup.

College Football Odds: Cincinnati Bearcats @ South Florida Bulls

Sportsbook odds: Bulls -3

Bearcats Cheeleader

To be quite frank, the Bulls don’t deserve to be favored in this game. Both teams are ranked, both teams are unbeaten and both teams haven’t had to play anyone too difficult on their schedule but Cincy has been the better team. The Bearcats have the two-time Big East Coach of the Year on their side and they have the better track record. There is no reason to lay points with USF.

Sports Picks: Cincy +3

If you’re looking to bet on horses, the Breeders Cup is coming up. But our focus is more on the big UFC event upcoming.

UFC 104: Lyoto Machida vs Mauricio Rua

Odds: Machida -410

Lyoto Machida

People making their sports picks aren’t going to be siding with Rua in this contest and it’s pretty easy to understand why. Rua looked really sluggish against Mark Coleman earlier in the year but then hammered an over the hill Chuck Liddell. But Lyoto Machida is a champ and he will be for a long time. His unorthodox karate style is a big problem for anyone to get at and if you can’t hit him, you aren’t going to win. Machida is going to pummel Rua rather easily in this fight.

Sportsbook pick: Machida -410
