NFL

WEEK 4 RECAP
NEW ENGLAND OUT TO 7/1 FOR TITLE
Champions New England are suddenly looking vulnerable as San Diego handed
them a 24-point beating, their first home defeat in 22 games on Sunday. For
once, Bill Bellichick’s injury-ravaged side did not produce a miracle, and
it’s probably right to assume that they’re not the dominant force that they
were (7/1 from 11/2 for the Super Bowl). This was no surprise though to the
many bet365 customers who called this right by backing the Chargers at
+5.5.

However, the Colts were again the best backed side of the week, and they
didn’t let their supporters down as their offence finally clicked into gear
to beat Tennessee 31-10 - the defense performing well again when only
allowing a TD late in the fourth quarter. They look the strongest outfit in
the NFL right now, and deserved title favorites at 10/3 (from 4/1).
Cincinnati also continued their perfect 4-0 start, although they failed to
cover the 10-point line, and are now in to 16/1.

WEEK 5 PICKS
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ NEW YORK JETS
Su Oct 9 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
The early betting move in this game has been for Tampa giving up a 3-point
start (5-6 from 10/11). However, the Bucs have failed to cover the point
spread in both of their last two games. Last week, Jon Gruden’s club got a
mystifying instant replay reversal to win the game against the hapless
Lions, while in Week 3 The Bucs finished +3 in turnovers against the
Packers at Green Bay, but still couldn’t cover as a road favorite, when 92%
of NFL teams with a +3 turnover margin cover the point spread. The 1-3 Jets
may be in desperation mode but their defense is till a top-notch unit, and
that could be the difference maker in this must win game, making them a
worthy underdog to bet on

PICK 1: New York Jets (+3.0)

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Su Oct 9 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
Buffalo’s paltry offence was once supported by a mean defense but they now
have a real problem stopping the run, while QB JP Losman was hauled off in
Sunday’s loss to New Orleans. Miami aren’t much better, but they have
upgraded their run defense this term, holding Denver, the Jets, and
Carolina to just 2.9 yards per carry, while the experienced QB Gus Frerotte
has steadied the ship. bet635 customers have already cashed in twice this
season backing the Bills with the ‘under’, and this looks another game sure
to stay below the number.

PICK 2: Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills - UNDER 34.0 POINTS @ 10/11

Both last week’s ’under’ picks (Indianapolis @ Tennessee & Denver @
Jacksonville) came in, with a $50 parlay paying out $191.34, which includes
a 5% bet365 bonus - hope you were on!

NASCAR
*******
BANQUET 400 – FEAST ON STEWART AT 6/1
Su Oct 9 – 1:30 pm EST (NBC)/17:30 GMT
With seven races to go in the chase for the Nextel Cup Championship, this
week’s race takes us to Kansas Speedway. As one of NASCAR's newest
‘cookie-cutter’ tracks there's really not a lot to say about it, except
it’s very much like the other short tracks in Las Vegas, Charlotte and
Texas, to name but three. NASCAR defines a short track as any track less
than one mile in length, and fans know that short track racing is defined
by bumping and banging, short tempers and fast action.

So, with Kansas very much in the cookie cutter mould, it’s a safe
assumption that the drivers to beat this week will be Greg Biffle and Kurt
Busch, who come from the same garage of Roush Racing. However, there are a
couple of drivers who can be expected to give the Roush drivers some
competition. Prior to last season, the best average finish on the track was
Ryan Newman (7/1) who had two 2nd’s and a win, then fell all the way to
33rd in last seasons race. Newman is sitting second in points right now,
only four behind leader Tony Stewart and, if the time was ever right for
Newman to show his old self at Kansas, it is now. The cookie cutters have
always been good to Newman and you can expect a top-5 from him.

Tony Stewart (6/1) has only one top-5 finish at Kansas over his four races
run there. However, this is an entirely different team now and past results
can go out the window. He’s in a zone right now and has the championship
within sight. The chassis Stewart will be using is likely to be Stewart’s
favorite of all time because it gave him the win at Indianapolis this year.
The same car also ran strong at Michigan and California this season where
it lead multiple laps. Because of Stewart leading the chase, hungrier than
ever, and the pedigree of the car, he’s going to be hard to beat this week.

For those of you looking for an each way bet, then Rusty Wallace (16/1)
could go well this week. In his final season on the circuit, the
49-year-old is third in the standings, 76 points off the pace, and will be
making his 700th career start. Last week’s 25th place was his third worst
result of the season, but he’d run sixth in the opener of the Chase, and
was third the following week in Dover. The fact that he started his career
just down the road in Missouri will make his 700th start a special one and,
for that reason alone, he’s likely to be giving it his best shot here.

Banquet 400 Picks: Ryan Newman @ 7/1; Tony Stewart @ 6/1; Rusty Wallace @
16/1

GOLF
****
AMEX CHAMPIONSHIP - TOMS A MAJOR BET AT 50/1
Th Oct 6 – 2:00 pm EST (ESPN)/18:00 GMT
Fr Oct 7 – 2:00 pm EST (ESPN)/18:00 GMT
Sa Oct 8 – 1:00 pm EST (ABC)/17:00 GMT
Su Oct 9 – 1:30 pm EST (ABC)/17:30 GMT
Tiger’s record in the AmEx Championship is second to none, reading
1-5-1-1-9 over the last five years, which almost makes him an automatic
pick this week. However, he didn’t look at all healthy the last time we saw
him in on the golf course and, at just 11/4 in a top-class field, we’ll
swerve him for betting purposes this week. Of course, he’s had ten days to
get over the rib injury which seemed to cost him victory in his Presidents
Cup singles match but, when you also factor in his poor record on par-70
courses, there are just too many doubts to get involved this week. He’ll
still have plenty of supporters at 14/5 in the ‘Enhanced Win Only’
market.

Instead, we’ll have a few quid on David Toms at a potentially massive 50/1.
That price probably takes into account his recent health scare, which
caused him to be carried off the course with chest pains during the Lumber
Classic. However, he’s played (well) since, and would only be lining up if
he was 100% fit again. With the rough this week having been allowed to grow
and the fairways substantially narrowed as a result, his straight driving
will be an asset, while he’s also made the frame in two of the last three
AmExs. That may be irrelevant on a new course this week, but it at least
shows he’s a player who plays well at this time of year. He’s also 16/1 in
our ‘Top American Without Woods’ market, where Phil Mickelson is 5/1
favorite.

American golf is on a high right now after their success in the Presidents
Cup, but there’ll be plenty of Europeans hoping to spoil the party this
week. Padraig Harrington (50/1), whose best 2005 form (two victories) has
come in the States, must play well, along with last week’s Dunhill winner
Monty (66/1), but Sergio Garcia (22/1) has the best record in this event
with four top-tens from five appearances. He’s another player whose
accurate driving will stand him in good stead this week, and warmed up
nicely for this with a top-15 effort in the Chrysler Classic. Instead of an
each way bet we’ll take the 25/1 enhanced win odds, and have a ’saver’ on
him at 4/1 in the ‘Top European’ market.

The final pick goes to the massively in-form Olin Browne, at an equally
massive bet365 price of 125/1. He may be a first-timer in this event but,
with a win and a second in his last four starts (six of his last nine in
the top-25), he’s hard to resist at those odds. His familiarity with the
PGA Tour should give him an advantage over many international competitors.
As with all US Tour events, we’ll have live betting, via our new ‘In-Play
Console‘, right up to the final putt on Sunday.
Nigel’s AmEx Championship Three Off The Tee: Sergio Garcia @ 25/1 (Enhanced
Odds); Davis Toms @ 50/1; Olin Browne @ 125/1 (Each-way ¼ odds
1.2.3.4.5.)

NHL

MAKE BUCKS FROM THE PUCKS
The puck finally dropped on the 2005 NHL season on Wednesday, with some new
rule changes in place. Perhaps the most significant change is the
introduction of the shootout. Games that remain tied after a five-minute
overtime period will now be settled in a shootout in which three players
from each side will take turns taking penalty shots. To take this into
account bet365 will now be offering a 1 ½–goal puckline, similar to the 1
½-run baseline (or runline) used in MLB wagering.

With the new scoring system in place it’s difficult to say which teams will
thrive in this new era of high scoring, but look for the more skilled teams
that struggled in the past, when defense ruled, to rise to the top. Teams
like Detroit, Dallas, and Colorado are all likely to be over priced in the
early stages. If your looking for a futures bet, we’ve got Stanley Cup
odds on site, with the Philadelphia Flyers favored at 6/1.

bet365 Stanley Cup prices...Philadelphia 6/1, Detroit, Ottawa 9/1, Boston
10/1, Calgary, Pittsburgh 12/1, Vancouver 14/1, others on bet365 website.
