Monday Night Football Live Streaming : Saints Vs Patriots

New England Patriots Vs New Orleans Saints Live Streaming Monday Night Football

The Monday Night game has all the makings of a classic shootout as the New England Patriots take on the New Orleans Saints. These two teams feature two of the premiere quarterbacks in the NFL and offenses that can score points in a hurry. New Orleans opened up as a 3 point home favorite earlier in the week but sharp wise guy action has come in on New England plus the points.

New England ranks second in the NFL in total yards per game and 3rd in the league in points per game. They are averaging 416 yards of offense per contest and a whopping 29 points a game. Their passing attack is dangerous as ever now that Tom Brady is back playing at a very high level.

He has two great weapons in Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Also, New England is starting to run the ball much more effectively with Laurence Moroney playing well, making this team even more explosive. Statistically, New Orleans is a middle of the road defense.

They rank 17th in total yards and 13th in points allowed. Furthermore, their secondary is giving up 214 yards a game through the air. The Saints’ defense has b... [More]

Thanksgiving Day NFL

We just finished taping our Football Blitz online sports betting TV show over at BetRepublic.com, breaking down all the Thanksgiving Day NFL games.

Yes, we have to endure the annual Detroit Lions Turkey-Day matchup (this year hosting the Green Bay Packers), but there are two other games on the schedule to fill the day up with football action until late into the evening. That said, all three games do have playoff implications, but only the Giants at the Broncos matchup features both teams competing for a playoff spot.

Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
Line: Packers -11
Total: 47.5

Detroit is coming off its second win this season, in a crazy game against the Browns. Matthew Stafford threw the winning touchdown with no time left on the clock and with his left shoulder separated. It was a heroic effort but unfortunately he won’t be around for the annual Lions Thanksgiving game. He is out with the shoulder injury. The Lions could also be without WR Calvin Johnson. Without these two in the lineup there won’t be a lot of celebrating in Michigan.

The Packers have righted the sinking ship winning two straight games beating Dallas and the 49ers. Aaron Rodgers is getting rid of the ball quicker and the Pack have amended the playbook to include more shorter passing routes. Unfo... [More]

Watch Free Live Stream of Federer vs. Del Potro

Federer is the favorite heading into the last cycle of the round robin stage in London.

Even though Roger Federer lost their last match, he has still come in favored against Juan Martin Del Potro in London at Barclay's ATP World Tour Finals.  

Federer leads their head to head series 6-1 overall with a 3-1 edge on hard court.  However Juan Martin Del Potro has really come on strong in their last two matches.  Though never being able to take down a set against Federer in their first 5 meetings, Del Potro forced a 5th set against Federer back at Roland Garros and then he, Del Potro, defeated the Swiss Maestro in their most recent match at the 2009 US Open final.  That the head to head series looks lopsided in Federer's favor doesn't actually reflect how closely matched these two players are at this point in their careers.

Watch free live streams from the ATP World Finals

Post-US Open, neither player is really on great form but Federer's has been better.  True, Federer's loss to Julien Benneteau in Paris was eyebrow raising but then again Del Potro's loss to Edouard Roger-Vasselin back in Tokyo last month was really puzzling.

ATP: Andy Murray Vs Fernando Verdasco Live Stream

Andy Murray Vs Fernando Verdasco Live Stream Barclays ATP World

Murray’s task is clear; a straight sets win will secure his progress. However if he drops a set or loses then things become complicated and depending on the result of Roger Federer’s match with Juan Martin Del Potro later in the day, any two of those three players could progress.
 
Verdasco may already be out after three set losses to Federer and Del Potro but he will be looking to finish the tournament in style before he moves on to the Davis Cup final in a week and half’s time. Having shattered Murray’s dreams of his first grand slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year, Verdasco knows he can beat the Scot on a big occasion.
 
Watch Andy Murray Vs Fernando Verdasco Live Score Card

However, Murray has a very comprehensive record against Verdasco, seven wins and just the one loss. He handed out a 6-1, 6-2 drubbing to the Spaniard in the Miami quarter-finals this year and beat him in three sets in Valencia on his comeback a few weeks ago.
 
Murray may have won that title in Valencia but he has been nowhere near his best form since he returned to the tour. He has been guilty of playing too passively especially this week. He let Federer back i... [More]

Night Session 7 pm GMT (2 pm ET)

Both players are in danger of making an early exit from the competition so a win is vital. For Rafael Nadal that might be a blessing in disguise with the Spaniard’s ridiculously extended season taking its toll not just physically but mentally.

Nadal has half an eye on next month’s Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic. It’s a tough schedule for the world number two, with just three weeks break before the 2010 season kicks off down under.

Watch Rafael Nadal vs Nikolay Davydenko Live Streaming

“My aim is still to be fighting and practicing hard to be ready to compete another time,” Nadal said in the aftermath of his defeat to Soderling. “Sometimes you have great moments, sometimes worse moments. This probably is one of those worse moments for me right now. I just have to accept and work to improve the situation. This year it is going to be extremely hard to finish really well. I believe in myself that I can come back playing well next year.”

Nadal seems resigned to the fact that his best tennis isn’t going to happen for him this week. After the loss against Soderling, it will be a tough ask for him to overcome Davydenko, one of the fastest and most battle-h... [More]

South Africa Vs England 1st ODI 20 Nov Live Streaming

After the T20I series between England and South Africa was tied at one game apiece, the ODI series promises to be as close if not closer. Of course, the five matches should give out a winner - apart from rained off games obviously - but the games could be a lot closer than what one thought originally.

For starters, Andrew Strauss will make a comeback to the side as the captain after missing out the T20Is. Rather strangely, the English side had gone into the shortest format with two different captain; Paul Collingwood and Alastar Cook. For the ODI series, they will have only one skipper, Strauss, as he will lead a more settled side into the five games.

Click for Live Score Card of South Africa vs England

The first ODI will be played at Johannesburg, in Wanderers. This is the same venue on which the English batsmen had smashed more than 200 and had the South Africans coming very close to chasing it down. The pitch shouldn't offer much to the bowlers, especially given that it is a day-night encounter, which would mean that there will not be any moisture on the wicket and hence the quick bowlers may not get too much help. Later on, the spinners may get some assistance from the pitch, but that would be for later.

England will be happy to have Kevin Pietersen back into the side. He did not play th... [More]

UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin

Is Griffin out, can Ortiz make it back in?

UFC Picks: Takedown defence and the jab. Those should prove to be Forrest Griffin's best chances of success against Tito Ortiz this Saturday at UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II.

While Griffin is usually the underdog, this time Ortiz is coming in at +120 to Griffin's -150 over at online sportsbooks.

Why the advantage to Griffin? It might be Ortiz's recent 0-2-1 showing for his last three fights. It might even be his lack of finishing against Machida that could still be lingering and giving the advantage to Griffin because of his decent boxing skill, height and reach advantage, but let's not bring up Griffin's loss to Silva though...

Well now that it's been said, Griffin's loss to Silva has makes this as much a fight for relevance for Griffin as it is for Ortiz. Both of these seasoned veterans want to remain in the running in the light heavyweight division. They are both former UFC LHW Champions and they have already faced each other the past.  Ortiz took the first match-up via split decision at UFC 59 in April 2006. While some may not be overly excited to see these two face off again, each one of these fighters needs this win to stay in the spotlight.

When the spotlight was on Ortiz, he was definitely exciting to watch when he took opponents down and ground them into the mat. While many other fighters have developed ... [More]

Cincinnati took a big jump in the standings and is now one of the AFC favorites to make it to the Super Bowl, along with New England, and Indianapolis.

The Steelers without Polamalu is like a day without sunshine. Gloomy and dark.

Your number one team in the NFL is. The New Orleans Saints.

No. two, is Peyton Manning and the Colts. They are undefeated unless New England gets them tonight, then the Colts drop two spots, and  New England goes up one to two positions.

No. three position is held by the Minnesota Vikings ar 8-1. There is no explanation here. They have the third best record in the league against some quality teams.

No four are the Cincinnati Bengals. A big win over Pittsburgh, sweeping that series, and a 7-2 record that should in all reality be 8-1. This team is all about the W.

Deep breathe here now. Relax. Clear your mind of all barriers and let the truth flow. Hang on not to past dreams, but today’s reality. Denver has lost three in a row. Dallas got shut out in Green Bay, who can't beat Tampa Bay.

No one else is eligible for this number five spot so welcome back Patriots the the top five of professional football. Fear Bill Belicek and Tom Brady ... [More]

They started off brilliantly and teams looks to be very confident under the captaincy of Shahid Afridi. They know their strengths quite well and have used them against the kiwis attack. Pakistan showed an overall team performance, they were upto the mark in batting n balling and doesn’t gave any room to the kiwis. Now they need this consistency to win the 2-T20 match series and take some revenge.

New Zealand on the other side looks to be very inconsistent in both bowling n batting. Their bowlers was not delivering the right length which results in too much runs. They need to play like they have played in the last 2-ODI against the Pakistan in order to level the 2-T20 match series. The top batting order collapsed without major contribution. They slaughtered the 1st over of Aamer but from the very next over they start loosing wickets and was not able to hold up their innings.

England will face South Africa in the first T20I between the two sides on the tour. This game will the first international game of the long, two moth tour for England, which will have see two T20Is, five ODIs and four test matches played between the two sides.

The English side has made a good start to the tour by winning both their opening warm-up games against the Warriors and the Eagles in a rather convincing manner. More importantly, it is the fact that almost all their batsmen and bowlers had a decent outing, with Andrew Strauss leading from the front and hitting form immediately.

The game will be played at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, and it will be interesting to see the kind of playing eleven that the English team goes to the field with. Strauss should open the innings with Joe Denly, but the biggest piece of news that comes in for the English team is that Kevin Pietersen is fit and should be ready for the T20Is. This will make the English side much more potent that they were in the shorter format of the game against Australia. Pietersen should bat at the number three position.

Jonathon Trott should be selected as well, and as was evident in the Ashes,... [More]

India vs Australia 7th ODI Live Streaming

India v Australia 7th ODI Live Streaming, Australia have won the series and the 7th ODI just becomes significant from a statistician’s point of view; probably another last chance for India to play their best.

The mighty Aussies (they deserved to be called so) have come to the subcontinent with no big names and played with almost a second rated team and have gotten unassailable lead of 4 games to 2 and the 7-match ODI series will conclude with the last one day match in Mumbai on Wednesday.

If the 5th ODI had been a close finish and seen a swinging of fortunes until the last over, the 6th ODI had been a boring one to say the least. India won the toss and elected to bat at Nehru Stadium, Guwahati only to disappoint the fans who thought that they would see the top order fire. The first 5 wickets fell under 30 runs and it must have taken resilience on part of youngsters like Jadeja and Praveen Kumar to take to 170 runs. The small total was chased with little effort by the Aussies.

So the Indian team would go to the Mumbai’s Bradbourne Stadium with least memories of the disastrous 6th one dayer. Mike Hussey had been the highest run getter in the series and he will not like to contain his spirit. He had... [More]

After courting defeat in the 5th ODI from the jaws of victory, Indian captain M S Dhoni said that India could not win the mental battle against Australia in Hyderabad.

I don`t think it was the talent part. I think it was the mental part, where you know you can play a big shot and you back yourself to do that,??? Dhoni said. ???At times you just go through the motions, you don`t know if such a shot is needed or not.???

Dhoni also said that India could not come up with one last minute knock-out punch which might win them the close game. ???We came very close, but the one last effort that we needed as a team we couldn`t put in???, Dhoni said after the match.

Autumn Rugby Internationals 2009: Betting Preview

Autumn Internationals Week One Betting Previews

Saturday, 07 November 2009
England v Australia, 14:30
Wales v New Zealand, 17:15

No Australian team made the finals of the Super 14 this season. Australia have lost five of their last six games, and not only that, but they were losers on the bookmakers’ handicaps, too. And yet, the layers believe that the Wallabies are a considerably better team than England in the opener to the autumn international series at Twickenham on Saturday.

On the face of it, it is easy to see why the layers have taken that particular view. The November internationals have been a happy hunting ground for the Tri Nations teams in recent times. The Six Nations teams have won just four of those 23 matches going back to the autumn of 2006. It’s a shocking record, and it shows quite how far ahead the southern hemisphere teams are at the moment.

Australia come into this weekend’s fixture with the heartbeat of the team ripped out of them. Their skipper, Stirling Mortlock is still absent through injury, and if that wasn’t enough, his midfield partner and vice-captain Berrick Barnes also misses out. It’s quite an absentee list, and one that England coach Martin Johnson will appreciate. The former world-cup winning skipper has named three of ... [More]

Breeder’s Cup 2009 Preview: Classic brings out lady

Watch out, It’s Billie Jean vs. Bobby Riggs all over again this weekend, except for the fact that this Billie will have to beat TWELVE Bobbie’s.  The 5-year old female sensation Zenyatta will race against twelve males in the Breeders Cup Classic, second only to the Kentucky Derby as the biggest race of the year.  It will be the mares first time in the Classic and first time running against the boys.

No female has ever won this race and only three have even tried, with Jolyphya’s third place finish in 1992 being the best finish by a female so far.  But this is a very un-girl like girl - the mare stands at a massive seventeen hands (for readers who are unfamiliar with horse latitudes and longitudes seventeen hands is freakishly large.)

In addition to running against males for the first time, it will also be her first time running the distance of a mile and a quarter, but apparently both facts are overshadowed by her 13-0 lifetime record, because she is still the betting favourite at odds of 5-2.

Between now and Saturday, I will work on whittling down the field to isolate my play in The Classic and the other races on the card. Handicapping the thoroughbreds is very unlike ‘capping other sports, with your picks changing right up until post time. ... [More]

Formula 1 Racing (Toyota to Quit Racing)

Toyota Motor Corp. is planning to leave Formula One motor racing, a person close to the Japanese auto maker said Wednesday, in the latest blow to the popular global sport.

Toyota follows Honda as the second major Japanese automaker to withdraw from Formula One.

Toyota is expected to call a news conference in Japan later today to announce the decision, which follows the end of this year's racing season this past weekend, the knowledgeable person said.

The exact reason for the move wasn't immediately clear. But it comes at a time when Toyota is struggling with losses following the collapse of car sales in the U.S. and other major markets. Running a Formula One racing team is extremely expensive, costing as much as hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Toyota's expected announcement could deal a major blow to the future of Formula One, which in recent months has also seen BMW AG and Honda Motor Co. leave the sport to cut costs amid sluggish global auto sales. Formula One also has been suffering from declining attendance, internal power struggles and a poor environmental image.

Although a marginal sport in the U.S., Formula One has established itself as the pinnacle of international motor racing and attracts huge television audiences in Euro... [More]

Australian Stayer Shocking Wins the Melbourne Cup

Australian stayer Shocking denied international contenders Crime Scene and Mourilyan to win the 5.5 million dollar (five million US) Melbourne Cup run over 3200 metres (two miles) at Flemington so check out more Melbourne Cup Horse Racing Betting Picks or Online Horse Racing Betting.

The Irish-bred four-year-old Shocking (9/1) raced three wide for most of the two-miler but finished too strong for Godolphin's Crime Scene (40/1).

Shocking had three-quarters of a length to spare over Crime Scene with the South African-trained Mourilyan (20/1) another one-and-a-half lengths away third.

It was a triumph for Australian jockey Corey Brown, who was beaten by a nose on English galloper Bauer in last year's Melbourne Cup.

It was another Melbourne Cup heartbreak for the global Godolphin stable with its third second-place finish in Australia's iconic horse race.

Crime Scene, Godolphin's only starter after deciding not to enter Kirklees, now joins Central Park (1999) and Give The Slip (2001) as the stable's runners-up in the Melbourne Cup.

Ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, Crime Scene looked set to draw away inside the final 200m (furlong) but could not go with Shocking in the last bit and was well beaten at the post.

Las Vegas NHRA Nationals: Massey, Hight and Morgan Win in Las Vegas

Las Vegas NHRA Nationals Motor Sports, Larry Dixon wanted to gain enough ground on Top Fuel point’s leader Tony Schumacher to give his team a legitimate chance to win the championship.

Dixon failed to win at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, but he closed to within one point of Schumacher with the season finale in Pomona, Calif., left on the schedule.

Sunday's NHRA Nationals Motor Sports Winners were Spencer Massey in Top Fuel, Robert Hight in Funny Car and Larry Morgan in Pro Stock.

Dixon erased most of the 47-point deficit he had at the start of the weekend after Schumacher lost in the second round to teammate Cory McClenathan.

"Man, that was a tough way to go out," Schumacher said. "You have to tip your hat to Cory and his team. They did what they had to do.

"I'm actually pretty upset with myself. I probably did too much thinking out there. That's not how you should perform when you're going for a championship."

Dixon reached the final but smoked the tires of his Al-Anabi Racing dragster off the starting line against Massey's U.S. Smokeless dragster. Massey posted a 3.827-second pass at 314.53 mph to Dixon's 5.503 seconds at 174.87 mph.
