He's bailed out former clients of &lt;a href="http://www.lines-maker.com/2009/10/handicapper-adam-meyer-radio-tout.html"&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;Adam Meyer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and was the winningest of sports advisors on a network of web sites. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;font size=3 face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:12.0pt'&gt;Lay the points with Stanford -7 at &lt;a href="http://www.betus.com/ats/10499/sportsbook/"&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;BetUs Sportsbook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; against &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; It's tough to lay a full touchdown to what is still a very talented &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; team. Plus I can't come close to calling this game a value because about six or so weeks ago this thing may have seen the Golden Bears as the favorite but right now there is no hotter team than the Cardinal and in the end I will roll with them today.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Cal&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; will once again be without their superstar in &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jahvid&lt;/span&gt; Best and overall this season has been fairly disappointing. Jeff &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Tedford&lt;/span&gt; had a team that was expected to compete for everything, including possibly a national title, but things have not been as expected and right now to be honest with you the Bears are not much better than an average team in the Pac-10.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Last week &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Arizona&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; outplayed &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Cal&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; and should have won on the road but a terrible decision by their quarterback destroyed them late leading to the eight point loss. I watched the game and trust me Cal did not come close to deserving to win and cover that thing by almost double digits. This team was obliterated against both &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; and USC and also had it handed to them a few weeks ago at home against &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:PlaceName&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:PlaceName&gt;  &lt;st1:PlaceType&gt;State&lt;/st1:PlaceType&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Certainly a 7-3 record is solid but it's been a weak 7-3 for today's visitors.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Meanwhile Jim &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Harbaugh's&lt;/span&gt; team is rolling as much as a team could be rolling right now. &lt;span class=GramE&gt;They just &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;embarassed&lt;/span&gt; both &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span   class=GramE&gt;Oregon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;span class=GramE&gt; and USC the last two weeks combining for over 100 points in those games.&lt;/span&gt; The way Toby &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Gerhart&lt;/span&gt; has been running the ball has been beyond amazing and it's not like you can just load the box with a young future star in Andrew Luck at the quarterback position.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Stanford has won three in a row and is 7-3 overall and 6-2 in the Pac-10. If not for imploding and blowing big leads at both Wake Forest and Arizona this team very &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;very&lt;/span&gt; realistically would have only one loss all season long and be in the top seven or so in the entire nation.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; I am a believer in what &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Harbaugh&lt;/span&gt; has done with this program and to get both &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Gerhart&lt;/span&gt; and Luck at home here makes me feel fairly comfortable in laying this number, even to a still semi dangerous &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Cal&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; team.&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;&lt;font size=3 face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold; mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;For more information: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;225,000* of profit are here for Saturday in just two plays.

The Volunteers were absolutely destroyed by the Ole Miss Running Rebels as Dexter &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;McCluster&lt;/span&gt; absolutely tore up the &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vols&lt;/span&gt; defense. The end result was a 42-17 drubbing. Along with that loss, the &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vols&lt;/span&gt; had two key members kicked off their team - and one more to come - as they were arrested for attempted armed robbery.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Now the Volunteers have to get their focus back on the field if they plan to salvage their season and get bowl eligible.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vols&lt;/span&gt; are 5-5 right now and they get a visit from the Commodores, who are the SEC's worst team. They are 2-9 and they have no semblance of a passing game. Last week, the &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vols&lt;/span&gt; were destroyed on the ground by &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;McCluster&lt;/span&gt; but the Rebels also have a pretty good quarterback in &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jevan&lt;/span&gt; Sneed. The &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vols&lt;/span&gt; had to respect him but they won't have to respect the pass with &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vandy&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This should be a fairly easy win for &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Tennessee&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; simply because &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Vandy&lt;/span&gt; might not score much - if at all. Look for Lane &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Kiffin&lt;/span&gt; and his crew to get back on track with a big home win and get into the bowl picture.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sportsbookratings.org" title="Sportsbook Review" id=feuj&gt;Sportsbook Review&lt;/a&gt; Pick: Volunteers -17&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt;Kentucky Wildcats @ Georgia Bulldogs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.betonline.com/sportsbook" title=Sportsbook id=lzlc&gt;Sportsbook&lt;/a&gt; Odds: &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Georgia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; -8.5&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Both Kentucky and Georgia are having similar seasons and both are currently at 6-4 entering this contest, looking to improve their positioning.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Bulldogs lost a bunch of stars to graduation but still have persevered to win two straight and get themselves into the bowl season. Meanwhile, &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; has lost a slew of key players to injuries but they also have gotten into the bowl mix with two consecutive wins (and wins in four of their last five). The similarities don't end there as both teams beat &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Auburn&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; and both were trashed by &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Florida&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; You can expect an evenly matched, entertaining game between these two teams but both teams have key injuries. The Bulldogs will be without star wideout &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;A.J&lt;/span&gt;. Green while &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; should be without quarterback Mike &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Hartline&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; At home, look for the Bulldogs to edge out &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; and get a tight win.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.bettingonline.me" title="Internet Betting" id=nyaf&gt;Internet Betting&lt;/a&gt; Picks: &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; +8.5&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a

Rivers says take the Grizzlies plus the points against &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Philadelphia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.linetrackers.com/"&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;Sportsbooks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; have &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Philadelphia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; laying five points. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Eddie Jordan took over the reigns this season as the 76ers coach and to be perfectly honest with you this team has shown pretty much nothing. Philly is 5-6 SU but a poor 3-8 ATS with the&amp;nbsp;only cover&amp;nbsp;over the past few weeks &lt;span class=GramE&gt;coming&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;a six point defeat as the seven point pup in &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Chicago&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;. They have actually failed to cover in six of the last seven games.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; I'm not sure if the 76ers are missing Andre Miller who moved on or what but these guys have just not been playing in any kind of rhythm. There is a lot of talent as Elton Brand is back somewhat healthy to complement a very good Andre &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Iguodala&lt;/span&gt;. Plus throw in some solid young kids like Lou Williams, &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Marreese&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Speights&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Thadeus&lt;/span&gt; Young but there hasn't been a lot of success thus far and even though the Grizzlies are far from being a good team they do have a lot more talent than people realize.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Memphis&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; has some players. No that doesn't always make for a good team and especially when a franchise has the losing culture which they do but Mayo, &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Gasol&lt;/span&gt;, Gay and Randolph can seriously stack up with almost any other four players on any team and with LeBron and the Cavs&amp;nbsp;up&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;on Saturday for Philly I can see&amp;nbsp;today's home chalk&amp;nbsp;look past Memphis a bit in this spot.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; The bottom line is that until the 76ers outclass anybody at all I will go against them when they are a solid touchdown or so favorite like this.&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;font size=3 face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:12.0pt'&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.casinobettingnews.com/"&gt;Online sports pick&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Memphis&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;&lt;font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black; font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;For more information: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Matt is 5-2 with 75.000*.

Last week, the Buffaloes shot themselves in the foot once again, coughing up three turnovers and committing 11 penalties en route to a home loss to &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:PlaceName&gt;Iowa&lt;/st1:PlaceName&gt; &lt;st1:PlaceType&gt;State&lt;/st1:PlaceType&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; They'll have a shot this Thursday - albeit a slim one - as the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who are still vying for an at-large BCS bid, may be without starting quarterback &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Zac&lt;/span&gt; Robinson (concussion). If Robinson plays and is healthy, this really won't be much of a contest. If he misses the game, the door opens for the Buffaloes to take advantage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Regardless of who is at quarterback for &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:PlaceName&gt;Oklahoma&lt;/st1:PlaceName&gt;  &lt;st1:PlaceType&gt;State&lt;/st1:PlaceType&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, one issue for &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Colorado&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; will be stopping the Cowboys rushing attack. Last week against Texas Tech, the Cowboys churned out 243 yards and controlled the ball for 37:20. This is a short week for both teams, which actually hurts the Cowboys more since Robinson needs time to recover. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Keep in mind that while the Buffaloes are finished, the Cowboys could still get an at-large BCS bid if they win against &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Colorado&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; and then top &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Oklahoma&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; next week. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.betonline.com/sportsbook" title="Offshore Sportsbook" id=d05y&gt;Offshore Sportsbook&lt;/a&gt; Pick: &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Oklahoma&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; State -19&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt;Kansas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt; &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jayhawks&lt;/span&gt; @ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span   style='font-weight:bold'&gt;Texas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt; Longhorns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ncaa-football-lines.com/" title="College Football Lines" id=pb80&gt;College Football Lines&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Texas&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; -28&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span class=GramE&gt;What&lt;/span&gt; has happened to the Kansas &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jayhawks&lt;/span&gt;? Now that the college basketball season is starting, less people will care about the KU football program but some fans have to wonder where it all went wrong. On top of that, the frustrations have boiled over as head coach Mark &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Mangino&lt;/span&gt; is being investigated by the NCAA for improperly contacting some of his players.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If that's the bad news, the worse news is that the &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jayhawks&lt;/span&gt; have to go to &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Texas&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; this week - the No. 2 team in the nation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Longhorns have been rolling recently and are coming off a performance where they flattened Baylor. They still have everything to play for and they can't afford any type of slip up. Meanwhile, the &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Jayhawks&lt;/span&gt; don't have anything left as far as motivation because they are just 1-5 in Big 12 play and have lost five straight games overall. This should be a relatively easy win for the Longhorns this weekend.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ncaa-football-odds.com/" title="College Football Predictions" id=hupd&gt;College Football Predictions&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Texas&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; -28&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a

Kobe Bryant led the way with 40 points for the Lakers in that victory, while Andrew Bynum picked up 17 points and 12 boards.

Today's sports picks against the spread is from superstar Matt Rivers.

Pitt just lost a ton of talent and I mean a ton in &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;DeJuan&lt;/span&gt; Blair, &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Levance&lt;/span&gt; Fields and Sam Young to name a few. In the early going the struggles are evident as they narrowly beat &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Wofford&lt;/span&gt; by three and in the last game did not cover against a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Binghamton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; team which is in more disarray than any school in the entire country and is &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;reminiscient&lt;/span&gt; of a High School team right now.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Sure being at home is huge and the Panthers are clearly more&amp;nbsp;skilled than &lt;st1:place&gt;Eastern  Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt; but the Colonels do bring back a lot of talent and that definitely means something. Of course Mike Rose and his 20 points per game is gone which hurts but that is about it. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Justin &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Stommes&lt;/span&gt; poured in a game-high 28 points in the easy opening win over a cupcake and tonight will be a test that you know in terms of motivation &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;EKU&lt;/span&gt; will be up for.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; On the other hand I can't really see the&amp;nbsp;Panthers treating this game as the end all &lt;span class=GramE&gt;be&lt;/span&gt; all and that could mean they once again go through the motions a bit.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; If &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Pittsburgh&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; comes to play and these guys gel a bit in this thing than we are clearly in some trouble. They are faster and more athletic and overall the far superior team&amp;nbsp;in the building. But after the first two extremely unimpressive performances my money is on a third straight pedestrian effort.&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;span style='color:black'&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;&lt;font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black; font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'&gt;For more information: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Get 200,000* of winners in the NFL, NCAA, and &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;&lt;span class=spelle&gt;NCAAB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, all side selections.

While the Falcons have no problem gathering wins against the bottom feeders in this league, their losses have come to the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys - all on the road. The Falcons are faced with another tough road contest as they head to &lt;st1:place&gt;East  Rutherford&lt;/st1:place&gt; to face the New York Giants. Especially since the Falcons may be without their leading rusher, Michael Turner.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The New York Giants have been sliding fairly badly themselves, losing four straight games, but they are still a smart veteran team that is coming off a bye week. They will be far fresher than the Falcons and that could be one of the key factors. On top of that, the Giants should be able to get their running game going with both Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. When those two players are leading the way and the pressure is off of quarterback Eli Manning, the Giants don't have many problems scoring points in bunches and getting wins. Sunday should be another one of those cases as the Giants roll to a big win.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.bet-nfl-football.com/" title="NFL Picks" id=ny15&gt;NFL Picks&lt;/a&gt;: Giants -6.5&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt;New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt; Jets @ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span  style='font-weight:bold'&gt;New England&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='font-weight:bold'&gt; Patriots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.betonline.com/sports-betting/football/nfl/jets-patriots-betting-odds-044" title="Jets Patriots Odds" id=s9ui&gt;Jets Patriots Odds&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Odds&lt;/span&gt;: Patriots -10&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span class=GramE&gt;The&lt;/span&gt; other &lt;st1:State&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;New York&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; team - the Jets - has also been slipping recently. They have lost four of their last five games and their bye week didn't help them too much as the Jacksonville Jaguars came in to town and left with a win. The Jets are struggling on offense right now because rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez just isn't providing the spark he once used to. On top of that, he is making a lot of mistakes - including two interceptions last week.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Jets defense is also fading as they sorely miss defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. They have had trouble stopping the run since he was injured and that could be a lingering concern the rest of the year. For this week, look for the Patriots to score rather easily as their offense is rolling. They'll be looking to atone for their effort last week.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ussportsbookreviews.com" title="US Sportsbook Reviews" id=s5w-&gt;US Sportsbook Reviews&lt;/a&gt; Picks: Patriots -10&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a

The Red Wings are &lt;st1:date Month="10" Day="5" Year="2003"&gt;10-5-3&lt;/st1:date&gt; after beating &lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Anaheim&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; 7-4 on Saturday night; &lt;span class=SpellE&gt;Henrik&lt;/span&gt; Zetterberg had a hat trick in that matchup. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a
