Thursday Night NFL Week 9 Lines For 10/31/2013

Cincinnati (-2.5, 42.5) at Miami – 8:25 EST

Week 9 of the NFL kicks off on Thursday night as the Cincinnati Bengals (6-2 SU, 5-2-1 ATS) travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins (3-4 SU, 3-4 ATS) a team on a 4 game losing streak. Currently 92% of bets are on Cincinnati, and 93.2% on the action is on the over. The Dolphins need a win, as their backs are against the wall. If this line climbs to 3 or 3.5, I would expect the sharp money to come in on the home dog in this on. The whole Mike Pouncey ordeal might be a big distraction in the locker room. Definitely not a good thing to be having on a short week.

Sunday Week 9 NFL Lines & Odds For 11/3/2013

Atlanta at Carolina (-7.5, 44) – 1:05pm EST

The struggling Atlanta Falcons (2-5 SU, 2-5 ATS) travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS), winners of four in a row. Currently 53% of the public is on the Atlanta Falcons and 89% of the action is on the over. Carolina’s defense has been stellar as of late, and that could pose a problem for an Atlanta team that is struggling on offense. I would expect some sharp money to come in on the Falcons, as this is a key divisional game.

Minnesota at Dallas (-10, 47.5) – 1:05pm EST

The Minnesota Vikings (1-6 SU, 2-5 ATS) will head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys (4-4 SU, 7-1 ATS). Currently, about 65% of the bets are on the Cowboys, and 100% of the public is on the over. It will be interesting to see how Dallas responds after the heartbreaking defeat they suffered in Detroit. I would expect that this number will climb up to 12 or 13, and in that case, the sharps might jump in and take the dog in this one.

New Orleans (-5, 45) at New York (AFC) – 1:05pm EST

The New York Jets (4-4 SU, 5-3 ATS) will be looking to rebound from a 40 point loss as the New Orleans Saints (6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS) come to Met Life stadium. Currently 95% of the bets are on New Orleans, and 87% of the action is on the over, which is no surprise. The Jet defense will have their hands full with Saints offense.  If this number continues to climb, the sharp money will without a doubt be on the home dog.

Tennessee (-3, 39.5) at St. Louis – 1:05pm EST

The Tennessee Titans (3-1 SU, 4-2-1 ATS) head to St. Louis to take on the Rams, who are on a short week after a Monday night loss. Currently, 77% of the bets are on Tennesee, who is off a bye week. As far as the total, 66% of the action is on the under. I would have to expect that this line will climb, as teams that have played Seattle don’t fare well the following week. Arizona was the first team to win after playing Seattle, but they played the Seahawks on a Thursday night, so they had more time to recover.

Kansas City (-3, 40.5) at Buffalo 1:05pm EST

The only remaining undefeated team, Kansas City (7-0 SU, 5-3 ATS), will be taking on the Buffalo Bills (3-5 SU, 5-3 ATS) at Ralph Wilson stadium. The Chiefs are 3-0 ATS on the road, while the Bills are 4-0 ATS at home. Currently, around 78% of the public is on the Chiefs, which should come at no surprise. If this week 9 line climbs to 3.5 or 4, I would have to think that the sharp money will be on the home dog. This might be a bad spot for Kansas City, as they have a bye week the following week, and  a divisional game against Denver the next week.

San Diego (Pick, 51.5) at Washington 1:05pm EST

The San Diego Chargers, fresh off a bye, head to Washington for a 1 p.m. EST start to take on the Redskins. 77% of the public is on the Chargers, who will be traveling East for an early start for the third time this year. Surprisingly, the Chargers are 2-0 in those games, while in the past, they’ve struggled in early starts. It will be interesting to see the line movement, as I suspect this line to close at -1 or -2. Definitely will have to monitor the health of RG III.

Tampa Bay at Seattle (-16.5, 40) 4:05pm EST

The Seattle Seahawks (7-1 SU, 5-3 ATS) will host the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7 SU, 1-6 ATS). The Seahawks will be looking to rebound off a sloppy performance on Monday night against St. Louis. This line will continue to climb, as oddsmakers will continue to force bettors to pay a premium on Seattle at home.

Baltimore (-2.5, 41) at Cleveland 4:25pm EST

The Cleveland Browns (3-5 SU, 4-3 ATS) will host the Baltimore Ravens (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in a key AFC North matchup. The Browns, currently an underdog, gave Kansas City all they could handle in week 8, and should give the Ravens a tough challenge as well. The last time these teams met in Week 2, Baltimore got the win, 14-6, however Cleveland was very competitive in the game. If this line climbs to 3 or 3.5, the sharp money will definitely be on Cleveland.

Pittsburgh at New England (-7, 44) – 4:25pm EST

New England (6-2, 4-4 ATS) are favored by a touchdown at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-5 SU, 2-5 ATS). New England has won 2 out of the last 3 in this series. Pittsburgh has won 2 of the past 3 meetings in this series. Both teams are totally different since these teams last met. Check the status of Aqib Talib, because he is a difference maker in this secondary. When was the last time you could say that the Patriots have a better defense than the Steelers? That looks to be the case here. New England is currently getting about 76% of the action. If the line climbs above a touchdown, expect the sharps to come in on the dog.

Indianapolis (-2.5, 44.5) at Houston – 8:30pm EST

Both the Colts (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) and Texans (2-5 SU, 1-6 SU) are coming off a bye week. Currently, the Colts are 2.5 point favorites, are receiving about 90% of the action. This will be a very interesting matchup, as this will be the Colts’ first game without Reggie Wayne, Andrew Lucks’ main target. Check the status of both Arian Foster and Ben Tate for Houston. If this line should climb to 3 or 3.5, the sharp money will without a doubt be on the Texans, as they are really not as bad as their record would indicate.

Monday Night Football Week 9 NFL Lines For 11/3/2013

Chicago at Green Bay (-10.5, 49.5) 8:30pm – EST

The Chicago Bears (4-3 SU) visit the Green Bay Packers (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFC North divisional tilt. The Packers have been on a roll as of late, despite multiple injuries to key players on offense. This will be Chicago’s first game without starting QB Jay Cutler, who is out for a month with a groin injury. Josh McCown will get the start for Chicago. It will be interesting to see how this Bears defense responds with the starting QB out, because the rest of the team needs to step up. The Packers are getting about 52% of the action. There might be some value on Chicago at this number, and it should stay around 10 or 10.5.

Current List of all 2013 Week 8 NFL Lines Can Be Found At The Bottom Of This Page

Listed below you will find the complete listing of all the NFL lines for all the upcoming week 8 matchups from JustBet Sportsbook (Deposit $300 & Get an Exclusive $300 Bonus Using This Link)  
The weekend of NFL Football action kicks off week 8 with the traditional Thursday night matchup (airing on the NFL Network).  In our week eight Thursday night matchup, the inconsistent Carolina Panthers (3-3) fresh off a week seven rebound-win against the Rams, will head down to Tampa Bay to take on Greg Shiano’s winless Buccaneers; who will likely be without their star running back, Doug Martin. The Carolina Panthers are listed as six point road favorites in this matchup. Keep an eye on the Martin Injury as this could change as the week goes on.

There are only a three other road favorite / home underdogs on the week 8 NFL lines schedule. These road favorites include;

The (2-4 SU & ATS) Pittsburgh Steelers, who are laying a field goal in Oakland against the Raiders.  The (2-4 SU) Raiders currently sit in the basement of the very surprising AFC West division.  The Steelers are currently 0-3 straight up and 1-2 ATS on the road this year and would likely not be a favorite away from Heinz field against very many teams.  The struggling Raiders are currently 2-1 (both SU & ATS) at home in 2013 and have treated their bettors well with an overall 4-2 ATS record.  The sharps will be looking to cash in on the Raiders and will likely be hoping to get them at 3.5 or 4 by game time.

Another other road favorite will be on display in the nationally televised week 8 Sunday Night Primetime NFL game.  The week 8 Sunday night NFL matchup features Arron Rodgers and the streaking Green Bay Packers (4-2 SU & ATS), who head to the Metrodome to take on Adrian Peterson’s (1-4 SU) Minnesota Vikings.  The Vikings will feature new quarterback Josh Freeman in his second start.  Minnesota will also play their second prime time game in as many weeks.  The Vikings have not gotten great play from the quarterback position this season. Most experts believe that the quarterback carousel with stop with Josh Freeman. The Vegas NFL lines for week 8 on Sunday had the Packers opening at 6.5 point favorites against the Vikings, despite the major injures Green Bay has faced.  Their big injuries include Randall Cobb, Jermichael Finley, & Clay Matthews. We’re going to assume that the public will overlook/ignore the Packers road struggles & major injuries.  As a result, we will expect this line to go up to 7 or 7.5 by gametime.  My guess is that the sharps are hoping for the same thing as the Packers seem to be one of the most over-bet teams every week.

We also have the biggest road favorite/home dog of all the week 8 NFL game lines in the Monday Night Football matchup.  On Monday Night, the (5-1) Seahawks head on the road as 10.5-point favorites to take on the ailing St. Louis Rams.  Despite their (3-1 SU & ATS) road record, the Seahawks haven’t looked good on the road.  It may also surprise people to learn that second year standout, Russell Wilson is a career 6-6 in the road as a starter.  In fact, Wilson’s worst career start was when he faced the Rams last season. He finished the game on the Road vs the rams in 2012 with a 3 interceptions and 0 TDs, which was good for a 14.4 QBR.  Despite these facts, the 10 point spread is up from a 6 point opening line.  This is likely due to the injury of the Rams starting quarterback in Sam Bradford on Sunday.  Veteran backup, Kellen Clemens will get the start for the Rams. Clemens took over for the injured Bradford in the 4th quarter, and finished the game with a stat-line of: 2/4, 19 yards, No TDs, No INTs.  Clemens has career 62 QB rating and has twice as many turnovers as touchdowns in his career.

In our first of two NFL International Series games, the red hot San Francisco 49ers (5-2 SU & ATS) will head to London to face the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars (0-7 SU & 1-6 ATS) in Wembly Stadium on Sunday.  This is the biggest point spread of the week as the week 8 NFL lines have the 49ers, who are coming off 4 straight wins, as 16.5 point favorites.  The oddsmakers clearly think the 49ers will do most of the scoring as the 40.5 point total is one of the lowest numbers on the board this week.  While this is technically a road favorite / home dog matchup, it’s not actually one as neither team has an advantage when playing on a neutral field in London.  The 49ers 2-1 ATS away from San Francisco and 5-1 ATS as a favorite this season.  The winless Jags were able to cover the spread just once in 2013, and it was on the road in Denver as 27 point underdogs.

Other big favorites from week eight’s game lines include the following;

The current superbowl odds favorite in (6-1 SU) Denver Broncos, are returning home from a highly publicized national TV loss , head to D.C. as big 13 point favorites against the (2-4 SU) Washington Redskins. The skins finally looked like the team from last season on offense. However, the opposite was true on Defense.  A struggling defense isn’t exactly something you want to have when your schedule has you playing in Denver against Peyton Manning’s high powered passing attack.

The fresh off a bye week in week 7, (5-1) New Orleans Saints welcome the (3-4) Buffalo Bills, who have been able to rally despite losing their Rookie sensation quarterback a few weeks ago. The Saints look to rebound from their heart-breaking loss to the New England Patriots last week. New Orleans has a top 5 passing offense as well as a top 10 passing defense this season. Excluding the final drive in the Patriots game, it’s been very surprising to see the Saints play defense like they have this year. The week 8 lines have the Saints listed as big 13 point favorites.  The Saints are  back to being another one of the public’s favorite teams to bet.  However, they have treating their bettors well this year with a 4-2 ATS record.

It should be quite the interesting week of NFL betting action in Week 7, as some of the top teams in the league square off against one another with playoff positioning firmly being on the line. Don’t miss our look at the Week 7 odds and all of the NFL betting lines for this week.

There’s no game on the board this week that is more important than the clash between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. Simply put, this is the biggest regular season game that the Colts have played since moving to Baltimore. They are taking on their former QB Peyton Manning, a legend in Indianapolis and a man for whom many teenagers are named for both in Indiana and in Tennessee. You won’t find a more loved man in the city that doesn’t currently play for the Colts, and there is going to be a huge tribute to Manning for what he did in Indy prior to this game. It should be emotional for sure, and we expect that Manning is going to be in his element playing in his old home. The Broncos, who have the best team in football right now, are -6.5 in this one, and that makes them the second biggest road favorites of the weekend. This game also features a ‘total’ of 56, the highest of the weekend.

The other road favorites of note and substance this weekend are the San Diego Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football this week, while the Bolts are going against the winless (and hapless) Jacksonville Jaguars. Seattle is giving 5.5 in this one, which is a far cry from the 58-0 score that these two teams played to last year. Don’t be shocked if this one is about some payback in the NFC West, as the Cards can get within just one game of the division lead if they can pull off this shocker. Jacksonville meanwhile, is the biggest home underdog of the weekend, as it is a 7.5-point pup. However, with the Chargers flying across the country and playing at 10:00 AM local time game the week after playing on Monday Night Football, the deck is stacked in favor of the hosts. If there was ever a game in which Jacksonville was going to beat a good team, this would be the game.

And then there are some games this weekend that just look flat out weird. The San Francisco 49ers are only laying four on the road against the Tennessee Titans, who are still using QB Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers are -6.5 and bordering on -7 at home against the St. Louis Rams in a battle of teams that, at least on paper, look relatively comparable. The Washington Redskins have a significantly worse record than the Chicago Bears, and the argument could be made that these two teams will finish nowhere near each other this year. However, off of their bye week, QB Robert Griffin III and the Redskins are only a pick ’em at home against Chicago, insinuating that this could be the best game of the day on the Week 7 betting lines. Perhaps the oddest of the odd? The New York Jets are only +3.5 at home against the New England Patriots, who feel like they should be favored by at least a TD in this one.

Not every game is complete lopsided by looks, though. The Houston Texans are in desperate need of a victory, and they are going to try to snap their four-game losing streak against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs just broke the record for the loudest crowd road ever at an NFL game at 137.7 dB, and you know that this is going to be amped up for this game against the two-time defending AFC South champs. QB Matt Schaub is highly suspect at this point, and he is questionable for this game with a leg injury. The Houston offense needs any spark that it can get. The Texans are sharp for sure, and they are +6.5 on the road at Arrowhead. This game features the lowest ‘total’ of the day at 39.5, and it is one of the four games on the docket with ‘totals’ of 41 or lower, making it the lowest scoring week by average ‘total’ in NFL betting action this year.

The Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals were both laughing stocks for a number of years, but now, they are both division leaders with a chance to really put their foot down in their respective divisions. The Bengals are on the road at Ford Field, where they are getting 2.5, though Detroit is still wondering if it is going to have its best offensive weapon, WR Calvin Johnson ready to go in this game.

The Philadelphia Eagles are -2.5 at home with QB Nick Foles calling the shots against the Dallas Cowboys in a game where first place is on the line in the NFC East. The Miami Dolphins are -7.5 at home against the Buffalo Bills, who could be starting either QB Thad Lewis or the newly acquired QB Matt Flynn under center this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting 7.5 against the Atlanta Falcons, who also have injury problems the likes of which you wouldn’t believe. When he gets in the huddle on Sunday, the only skill player that might be looking back at QB Matt Ryan that was starting the season in that huddle is TE Tony Gonzalez. WR Roddy White, WR Julio Jones, and RB Steven Jackson all expect to be sitting this one out.

In the 4:00 ET hour, the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to salvage their season, something that they will be able to accomplish if they can beat the NFL betting lines against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers are -2.5 at home against the defending Super Bowl champs. Elsewhere, the Green Bay Packers, even without LB Clay Matthews and WR Randall Cobb, are -10.5 at home against the Cleveland Browns.

Sadly, the worst game of the week is probably the Monday Night Football game. The winless New York Giants are favored by 3.5 to get their first victory of the campaign against the one-win Minnesota Vikings, who are going to be starting QB Josh Freeman, marking their third starting quarterback thus far in six games on the season.

The 2013 PGA Championship odds are going to be challenged at the East Course of the Oak Hill Country Club starting on August 8th, as some of the best PGA expert handicappers try to beat the golf odds for this event. Join us as all of the best golfers on the planet try to claim the fourth and final major tournament title of the year in golf betting action!

Over the course of the last several years, the man that we have been waiting to bust out and become a force in the sport of golf has been Rory McIlroy (Defending PGA Championship Champion, PGA Championship Odds: 25 to 1 SportBet Sportsbook). McIlroy, to his credit, did win the PGA Championship last season, but this year has been the nightmare of all nightmares. He didn’t make the cut in his first tournament of the year at the Honda Classic, and he didn’t make the cut in the Open Championship just a few weeks ago as well. Even last week at the Bridgestone Invitational, the Northern Ireland native only managed to finish at +2, and he only had one round below par on Saturday. McIlroy hasn’t been a serious contender in an event on a Sunday since the Players Championship when he finished eighth, and he only has one Top 5 finish this year at the Valero Texas Open, a tournament which, under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t have played. We can’t really recommend playing McIlroy at this point, though we know that many will.

Most of the bets in the PGA Championship though, are going to come in on Tiger Woods (PGA Championship Betting Odds: 3.75 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). Woods is still waiting for that elusive major title, one which has gotten away from him for a half of a decade at this point. Woods did win the PGA in 2000, 2006, and 2007, so he definitely knows what he is doing at this event. That said, this is a really cheap price for a man that hasn’t won a major in quite somet ime. Tiger though, won last week at the Bridgestone Invitational going away, and he has to be poised and ready to go for this one. He was in the second to last group at the Open Championship a few weeks back, and though he didn’t win and sort of shriveled a bit on Sunday, he was still right in the thick of the fight and would have been right there had Phil Mickelson not gone on his outrageous tear on Sunday to win the event. There is going to be a point that Tiger tames the world and wins that major tournament he has craved, and this very well could be the week that happens.

List Of Past The PGA Championship Winners (Since 2000)
2012 – Rory McIlroy
2011 – Keegan Bradley
2010 – Martin Kaymer
2009 – YE Yang
2008 – Padraig Harrington
2007 – Tiger Woods
2006 – Tiger Woods
2005 – Phil Mickelson
2004 – Vijay Singh
2003 – Shaun Micheel
2002 – Rich Beem
2001 – David Toms
2000 – Tiger Woods

Lee Westwood (Odds to Win PGA Championship: 30 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) has never won a major tournament in his career, and he hasn’t won a single event this year on the PGA Tour calendar, but he has done a remarkable job in these majors and is certainly due. In all three of the major tournaments this year, Westwood has finished tied for 15th or better, something that hardly anyone in the world can boast. Alas, Westwood is a bit scary right now after he finished 40th at the Bridgestone Invitational last week, but in typical Westy fashion, but he finished with very consistent rounds, shooting 71, 71, 71, 72 in his four days. The truth of the matter is if he is able to keep his score right in line with the rest of the pack early in this tournament, don’t be shocked if Westwood is right there come Sunday again. This is a man that just doesn’t beat himself up on the links, and though he rarely puts together that flashy round of 63, he is a consistent golfer who is always in the thick of the fight as well.

With one major under his belt already this year, Phil Mickelson (Odds to Win The PGA Championship: 13.50 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) is going to have a shot to complete the career Grand Slam in this one. It’s really hard to ignore the man they call Lefty. He won the Open Championship in Scotland, he finished second at the US Open at Medinah, and though he stunk it up at the Masters, there is no taking away what he has been able to do elsewhere this year as well. Mickelson won the Waste Management Phoenix Open by shooting -28, he finished tied for third at the Cadillac Championship, he was third at the Wells Fargo Championship and then finished tied for second at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. A 21st place finish at last week’s Bridgestone Invitational wasn’t a bad outing either considering how difficult the course was. Could Mickelson find a way to capture this crown and finish that coveted career Grand Slam? We aren’t going to count Mickelson out, especially after that huge run he went on at the end of at the British Open just a few weeks ago when virtually everyone counted him out of the running.

The Tiger Woods Foundation is set to host its annual AT&T National at Congressional Country Club, the site of the 2011 US Open for PGA betting fanatics and aficionados alike. Try to beat the AT&T National betting odds with us here at Bankroll Sports, as we take a look at one of the more illustrious tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule!

Over the course of the last few years, a lot of the best golfers in the world played at Congressional, knowing that the US Open rolled through our nation’s capitol recently. However, the recent winners, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are both sitting this tournament out, leaving Adam Scott (Odds To Win 2013 AT&T National: 11.50 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) to be the favorite of the AT&T National. Scott won the Masters this year, but he hasn’t had a Top 10 finish in three games since that point. He was atrocious two weeks ago at the US Open, finishing up at +15 without a single round better than 72. That’s why it’s a bit surprising to see Scott as the favorite on the golf odds this week, though if you look at the rest of the field, you’ll understand why.

2013 AT&T National Predictions & Info
2013 AT&T National Dates: Thursday, June 27th – Sunday, June 30th, 2013
2013 AT&T National Location: Congressional Country Club Blue Course, Bethesda, MD
Defending AT&T National Winner: Tiger Woods
2013 AT&T National TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, CBS

The most recent defending champion of this event that is going to be playing starting on Thursday is Nick Watney (AT&T National Odds: 50 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). This isn’t a bad price that on a golfer that has a good history on this golf course, but the form that Watney is in has been terrible. He finished 95th, 116th, and 89th in his last three tournaments, missing the cut in all three tournaments. In fact, over the course of his last nine rounds, he hasn’t put together better than a 70, a number that he broke in six of his prior seven rounds before that point. Watney might be worth considering, but it’s going to take a huge turnaround from what we have seen of late to get him into the winner’s circle this week.

List Of Past AT&T National Winners (Since 2000)
2012 – Tiger Woods
2011 – Nick Watney
2010 – Justin Rose
2009 – Tiger Woods
2008 – Anthony Kim
2007 – KJ Choi

If you’re looking for someone in good form though, the man that you might want to back is Billy Horschel (Odds To Win The AT&T National: 22 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). Very quietly, Horschel has had a great season. He won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans back in the end of April, and he has now logged back to back Top 10 finishes, including finishing tied for fourth at the US Open. This is a very similar type of course to the one at the FedEx St. Jude Classic which Horschel played the week before the US Open though, and he finished tied for 10th in that event. You wouldn’t normally place a bet on a golfer like Horschel, but we have to think that there is at least a 1 in 20 chance that he is going to walk away with the title against a field that is relatively weak in nature.

Hunter Mahan (AT&T National Lines: 17 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook) could be in for a nice week as well. He is the third favorite on the golf betting lines this week, and we actually recommended playing him in this tournament last year. He finished tied for eighth against a significantly better field on a course that played very tough that week. Of course, that’s nothing new for Mahan this year. He finished fourth at the US Open by shooting +5 at Meridian, and he followed that up last week by taking 24th at the Travelers Championship. Mahan continues to put together reasonable performance after reasonable performance, and though he hasn’t won this year, he has the disposition to finish things off this week and get that elusive win.

This year more than most, the odds to win the MVP award are going to be tight in the NBA. There are a number of candidates that could ultimately go on to win the award, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’re taking a look at some of the top contenders right now and where they currently stand in the chase for the most illustrious individual honor in the NBA.

The new favorite to win the MVP award this year is Kevin Durant (Current NBA MVP Odds: 1 to 1.40 at BetDSI Sportsbook). Durant is the league’s leading scorer at 29.6 points per game this year, a solid point ahead of the field. He is a fantastic shooter that is likely to win the NBA’s scoring title once again, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he is going to win the MVP award. Durant has won the scoring title before, but he has never been the league’s MVP. However, with G Russell Westbrook hanging around as really his only helper on his own team, the writers might give Durant the benefit of the doubt this year now that G James Harden is gone.

It still goes without saying though, that LeBron James (Odds To Win 2012-13 NBA MVP Award: 1.20 to 1 at BetDSI Sportsbook) is capable of winning the MVP award this year. It’s not new news for LeBron to be a contender for the MVP, knowing that he has been the MVP three times already in his career. James is still the leader of the Miami Heat, and there isn’t a player in the league that is more dynamic than he is. King James is averaging 26.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game, and he is playing almost 39 minutes per game as well. If this were purely a statistical competition, James would be the winner of the MVP award just about every year. We think that LBJ clearly has the best price of all of the MVP contenders this year.

Aside from these two men, there really isn’t a lot to back in terms of MVP candidates this year. This is the first time in quite some time that we don’t think that Kobe Bryant is truly a contender for the award, though he is still listed at 30 to 1 to take the honor. Instead, the only other legit contender right now is the New York Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony (NBA MVP Lines: 10 to 1 at BetDSI Sportsbook). Melo is second in the league in scoring at 28.5 pooints per game, and he is really putting the Knicks on his back and carrying them to the Atlantic Division title in all likelihood. Every time that New York plays a big game, it seems like Anthony is the man right in the thick of it all. We would like to see Anthony put together some more double-doubles, knowing that he is only averaging 6.2 boards per game, but we know that he has done a great job as a clutch performer this year. If there were ever a season that Melo was going to win the MVP award, this would be the year for that to happen.
