Are you kidding me? I need the Miami Marlins to win over 86 games this year and this is the stuff they’re pulling. If it isn’t Heath Bell blowing his first 2 save opportunities or Logan Morrison dropping fly balls, you get this carnival like celebration after a home run. It’s like someone just hit the jackpot on a slot machine.

Not sure if that is what he actually bet, but it is the title of his video.

BTW this is the best breakdown of the Super Bowl you will find anywhere. Stu Feiner analyzing the X’s and O’s like Greg Cosell.

“They might break Tom Brady’s neck and he might die right f’n there.”

So NSFW language.

I’m getting old. I just don’t understand the lingo anymore.

Can someone explain this tweet to me? When Birdman says “I’m Bet 5million 2 any n*****a.like tha Giants,” does that mean he will bet anyone that likes the Giants $5 million or is he going to bet that amount (say with Vegas) on the Super Bowl regardless.

50 Cent, we are waiting your response. Floyd Mayweather and yourself should book that bet.

Birdman, I hope you get a different result than the last time you made a 7 figure wager on a championship event.

This has been a big week for football win totals. On Sunday the Las Vegas Hilton released their numbers for the college football season and today the MGM sportsbook blesses us with the totals for the 2011 NFL year.

It’s tough to gauge what numbers look good without seeing what teams do first in the free agent signing period, but it is always fun for a degenerate gambler like myself to look at the totals.

NFC

South

Atlanta Falcons 10.5 (Over -105, Under -115)
New Orleans Saints 10 (Over +105, Under -125)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 8.5
Carolina Panthers 4.5

The Las Vegas Hilton finally did what I was waiting months for….release the college football win totals on 35 teams. I like so many, how do I choose?

OKLAHOMA 10 OVER -110 UNDER -110

BOISE ST 10.5 OVER -120 UNDER EVEN

LSU 9.5 OVER +140 UNDER -160

STANFORD 9 OVER +130 UNDER -150

The Golden Nugget sportsbook released their 2011 college football opening spreads on 105 games for this upcoming season. As a degenerate gambler it is fun to see how the “sharps” move the line with the money they wager. With a limit of $1000/game and a max of three games each window visit these guys must have waited in the long lines numerous times throughout the day.

From the looks of it, people think Vegas undervalued Georgia while overvaluing Michigan.

Which lines do you like? (Only major changes noted)

Here at SportsCracklePop, we consider ourselves pretty special.  We saw President Obama fill out his bracket on ESPN, so we decided to share our picks as well.

Here are mine. Ballsy, no?

At 2PM today we get the start of 35 college bowl games in 24 days! Kicking off my favorite season is UTEP v BYU and ending with the National Championship game between Auburn and Oregon. Taking a quick glance at some of the matchups I seem to see a few that peak my interest.

The first must watched bowl game of the season pits Boise St against Utah. With backup Terrance Cain starting for the Utes and having to face the 3rd ranked pass defense in the nation points will be at a premium. I just don’t think the Broncos will have their heart into this game and end up coming out sluggish. Give me the under 61.
