NCAA Football Odds: Alabama Kicks off Title Defense Against USC - Handicappers Hideaway

The Alabama Crimson Tide are still the favorites at +600 to defend their
National Championship, but the competition is closing in, and the
Crimson Tide could easily get knocked off their perch this Saturday (8
PM ET, ABC) when they play the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas. Oddsmakers have the Tide as a 12-point favorite and
the total is sitting at 52.

At press time, USC are 12-point underdogs against Alabama and +3300 to
win the title, but they couldn't ask for a better situation to face the
Tide. Head coach Nick Saban still hasn't figured out who his starting
quarterback will be this season; Cooper Bateman will likely get the nod
against USC, with Blake Barnett getting some work, too. The Trojans will
also be happy to play Alabama on neutral ground.



USC are No. 20 on the preseason rankings for 2016 after going 8-6 SU and
6-8 ATS last year. They could have betting value on Saturday as a
rising program under second-year coach Clay Helton, having played
largely out of the national spotlight since Pete Carroll left to join
the Seattle Seahawks after the 2009 campaign. However, senior LT Chad
Wheeler won't start for USC because of an injured foot, and could miss
the game entirely.

MLB Odds: Blue Jays, Orioles Clash in AL East Showdown - Handicappers Hideaway

The AL East is arguably the best race in baseball right now, with three
teams vying for a top spot. Two of the three teams close out a
three-game set on Wednesday when the Baltimore Orioles host the Toronto
Blue Jays. The Jays started the week with a three-game lead over the
Orioles.



Bet on baseball at Bovada and get a 50% bonus.



Aaron Sanchez (12-2, 2.99 ERA) took a no-decision in his last outing on
August 20; it was a 6-5 win in Cleveland, during which he was tagged for
five runs on four hits over four innings, striking out five and walking
one. The Jays then sent Sanchez to the minors, but he didn't pitch
because they’re monitoring his innings. The 24-year-old righthander is
2-0 in three starts against the Orioles this season, posting a 4.50 ERA.



Yovani Gallardo (4-6, 5.69) lasted just 1.1 innings in his latest
outing, which was a 14-4 road loss to the New York Yankees. He was
knocked around for eight runs (seven earned) on six hits, striking out
none and walking one. The 30-year-old righty, who is 0-3 in his last
four starts, has split a pair of starts against the Blue Jays this
season, although he has an ERA of 6.75 in those games.

The East Leading Argos host the BC Lions in CFL Action - Handicappers Hideaway

The fans at BMO Field will be treated to a game between the 2nd place
British Columbia Lions and the East Leading Toronto Argonauts when they
take their seats on Wednesday night. This should be a tight game as each
team is jockeying for home field advantage in the CFL Playoffs.



Oddsmakers currently have the Lions listed as 3-point favorites versus the Argonauts, while the game's total is sitting at 54.



Last time out for Toronto, they were a 46-23 loser as they battled the
Eskimos at home. The Argonauts failed to cover in the contest as a
+2.5-point underdog, while 69 combined points moved the game OVER for
totals bettors.



In their last action, British Columbia was a 29-23 winner on the road
against the RedBlacks. They covered the +2.5-point spread as underdogs,
while the combined score (52) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.



British Columbia:

Team record: 6-3 SU,7-2 ATS

British Columbia is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games

British Columbia is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games

The total has gone OVER in 4 of British Columbia's last 6 games



Toronto:

Team record: 4-4 SU,4-4 ATS

The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Toronto's last 14 games

Toronto is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games at home

Toronto is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home

Can Appalachain State pull the Upset on a Vols Team Hoping to Make Strides in 2016? - Handicappers Hideaway

The Appalachian State Mountaineers and the Tennessee Volunteers will be
battling to open the 2016 College Football season for both teams at
Neyland Stadium on Thursday. Tennessee is trying to take huge strides
this season under Butch Jones after a tumultuous off-season with sexual
assault allegations, along with bullying by some coaches. Appalachain
State is trying to prove they can compete on a yearly basis in the
Football Bowl Championship Series.





Oddsmakers currently have the Volunteers listed as 21-point favorites versus the Mountaineers, while the game's total has set at 60.5.





Tennessee has to keep from overlooking the Mountaineers with Virgia Tech
on the Horizon next Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Even without
Frank Beamer, the Hokies will still be a quality football team.





Appalachian State hosts Old Dominion next Saturday, so they will not be
looking past the Vols. I would expect them to pull out all the stops in
this season opening match up that can open some eyes to people around
the nation if they can pull off the upset.





Appalachian State:

Team record: 11-2 SU,6-7 ATS

Current Streak: won 4 straight games.



Tennessee:

Team record: 9-4 SU,8-5 ATS

Current Streak: won 6 straight games.





Next up:

Appalachian State home to Old Dominion Saturday, September 10

Tennessee home to Virginia Tech Saturday, September 10

NCAA Football Week 1 Preview & Free Pick- South Carolina at Vanderbilt - Handicappers Hideaway

A new season of college football on ESPN opens this week with a SEC
clash this Thursday night between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the
Vanderbilt Commodores in a 8 p.m. (ET) start at Vanderbilt Stadium. BetAnySports has opened the Commodores as 3.5-point home favorites with the betting line for the total set at 42.5.



South Carolina is coming off a tough year in SEC play with a straight-up
1-7 mark. Its lone conference win of the season came against Vanderbilt
in a 19-10 victory in mid-October as a slight 1.5-point home favorite.
The total stayed well UNDER BetAnySports’ closing 45.5-point line and it
stayed UNDER in four of the Gamecocks last six games.



New head coach Will Muschamp will have the tall task of turning around an offense that sunk to 110^th in the nation in scoring with 22.3 points per game. His defense was not all that much better at 72^nd
in average points allowed (27.5). The quarterback position remains up
in the air for 2016, but it looks like Perry Orth should get the
starting nod on Thursday night.



The Commodores were not much better in the SEC last season at 2-6 SU and
the total stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in 11 of their 12 games
overall. They failed to cover against the spread on BetAnySports’ closing betting line in three of their final five games in 2015. Overall, Vanderbilt went 4-8 SU with a 6-5-1 record ATS.



Head coach Derek Mason will go with Kyle Shurmur as his starting
quarterback for the season opener after he started five of the team’s
final six games in 2015. This unit has nowhere to go but up after
averaging a dismal 18.4 points a game last year. Fortunately, Vanderbilt
does have eight starters returning to a defense that was ranked 22^nd in the nation last year in points allowed (21.0).



It is hard to know what to expect from these two teams on Thursday
night, but I do think we will see a tight battle that keeps the scoring
to minimum on both sides of the scoreboard. Stick with the UNDER 42.5
points at BetAnySports as the top play in this conference clash.

College Football Odds: Hawaii-Cal Open 2016 Down Under - Handicappers Hideaway

Week 1 of the FBS college football season is getting an early start –
literally. It will be noon local time (10 PM ET, ESPN) when the Hawaii
Rainbow Warriors play the California Golden Bears this Friday at the ANZ
Stadium in Sydney, Australia. The Bears have opened as massive 20-point
favorites, although the early action has been on Hawaii.



After a week of heavy betting the Cal Bears have settled in at 20-1/2 point favorites and the total is sitting at 67.

The Warriors have seen better days. They went 3-10 SU and ATS last year,
dropping all eight of their conference games in the Mountain West. Nick
Rolovich, a former quarterback and offensive coordinator at Hawaii,
will try to resurrect this program in his maiden voyage as a head coach.



California enjoyed a reasonably good 2015 campaign at 8-5 SU and 6-7
ATS, ending the season with a convincing 55-36 win over Air Force (+5.5)
at the Armed Forces Bowl. But the Bears enter their fourth year of
football under Sonny Dykes with lowered expectations after QB Jared Goff
went No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft. It's up to new starter Davis Webb
to pick up the slack; Webb transferred from Texas Tech after finishing
his degree, and looks like a comfortable fit in the Bear Raid offense.

E-sports Odds: TSM, G2 Bound for Glory in LCS Summer Playoffs - Handicappers Hideaway

We're down to the finals at the Summer Playoffs for the League of Legends
Championship Series. The titles in both the North American and European
Union brackets will be decided this Sunday; Team SoloMid are heavy –450
favorites for their match against Cloud9 in Toronto, while G2 Esports
are –225 against Splyce in Krakow.

Team SoloMid have now reached the NA finals eight out of eight times,
winning three championships thus far. However, they did drop
back-to-back titles to Cloud9 in 2013 (Summer) and 2014 (Spring). Then
TSM got their revenge on Cloud9 in the next two finals. This summer's
team tore through the Group Stage with a record of 17-1; Cloud9 were
third at 12-6.



The EU final pits the top two teams from the regular season, with G2
(10-8) taking first and Splyce (9-6-3) taking second. G2 are the
reigning champs from this year's Spring Split, marking their first major
title since launching in 2014. Splyce are new on the scene, formed from
the ashes of Team Dignitas EU, which was sold to Follow eSports last
October. They finished the Spring Split at 5-13 and had to win their way
out of relegation to reclaim their LCS spot.

-8.5-point favorite, while 62 combined points moved the game OVER for
totals bettors.



In their last action, British Columbia was a 37-9 loser at home against
the Stampeders. They failed to cover the -2.5-point spread as favorites,
