09/25/2011 -
Verona, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two goals in the final 15 minutes from Chievo
brought an end to Genoa's unbeaten Serie A start as Chievo claimed a 2-1 win
on Sunday.
Rodrigo Palacio put Genoa ahead early in the second half when he held off a
defender and beat goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino with a low shot.
But Genoa was forced to play the final 30 minutes with 10 men as Dario
Dainelli was sent off after committing a foul in his own penalty area.
Genoa goalkeeper Sebastien Frey saved the ensuing penalty kick from Sergio
Pellissier, but Pellissier atoned for his miss in the 75th minute with a
header that found the upper corner of the net.
The match appeared headed for draw, but Davide Moscardelli had other ideas as
he popped up in the third minute of stoppage time to head home the winning
goal.
Atalanta 2, Novara 1
Bergamo, Italy - Atalanta's bright start to the season continued on Sunday as
the club recorded its third win in four games, beating Novara, 2-1.
A six-point deduction at the start of the season for match fixing put Atalanta
in a hole, but they have dug themselves out nicely with three wins and a draw
from four games.
Matias Schelotto tallied the opener for Atalanta in the 34th minute and Luca
Cigarini doubled the advantage just before the hour mark.
Filippo Porcari pulled a goal back in the 88th minute for Novara, but it
wasn't enough to grab any points for the visitors.
Cagliari 0, Udinese 0
Cagliari, Italy - Udinese remains unbeaten through four games in Serie A after
a 0-0 draw at Cagliari on Sunday.
The home side controlled most of the play and came close to opening the
scoring in the 13th minute when Nene's shot was cleared off the goal line by
Udinese's Maurizio Domizzi.
It was the best chance of the match for either side and helped Udinese join
Juventus at the top of the league with eight points.
Catania 1, Juventus 1
Catania, Italy - Catania earned a third draw in four games on Sunday with a
1-1 deadlock at home against Juventus.
Juve had earned seven points from its first three games but fell behind in the
20th minute to Gonzalo Bergessio's goal.
But the Turin side battled back to equalize early in the second half through
Milos Krasic, who scored his first goal of the season in the 48th minute.
Siena 3, Lecce 0
Lecce, Italy - Siena claimed its first victory of the campaign on Sunday as
Emanuele Calaio scored two second-half goals to help his side to a 3-0 win
over Lecce.
Mattia Destro put the hosts in front after five minutes and Calaio's first
goal came early in the second half to double the advantage.
Lecce's Andrea Esposito was sent off in the 62nd minute and Calaio capped the
scoring 20 minutes from time for a comfortable three points.
Lazio 0, Palermo 0
Rome, Italy - Lazio failed to capitalize on a number of chances on Sunday and
was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw at home with Palermo.
Djibril Cisse had a good chance saved by Palermo goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas
after nine minutes, while striker headed over the net from close range early
in the second half.
But the best chance for either side came one minute from time when Tzorvas
failed to hold a shot from Miroslav Klose that presented Cristian Brocchi with
a great rebound opportunity that he fired wide.
Roma 1, Parma 0
Parma, Italy - Roma won its first match of the Serie A season, defeating Parma
1-0 on Sunday.
The lone goal came in the 50th minute when Pablo Daniel Osvaldo headed home an

While the NFL is the sport wagered on the heaviest, college football betting lines has become more and more popular as people realize it’s a game that can be beat. The NCAA football season gets longer each year with the addition of numerous bowl games and with that comes more opportunities for more money in your pocket, if handled correctly.
Betting on college football is not the same as with the NFL, so make sure you separate the two. Because of the vast number of teams, the parity between college football programs is slight and thus, you are going to see some high numbers in the NCAA. Teams favored by more than 40 points are not uncommon especially early in the season when teams playing their non-conference schedules.
The best advice when trying to tackle these enormous spreads and is to just stay away. A team that is favored by 40 points is favored by that many for a reason while teams getting 40 points are bad enough that they shouldn’t be touched. Set yourself a spread limit. Getting rid of these games will cut down on the number of contests that you need to handicap while staying away from backdoor or front-door covers.
What is a backdoor and front-door cover you ask? A backdoor cover is a team that is getting beat by more than the spread, but scores late to get within that number thus covering the spread. A front-door cover is just the opposite where the favorite scores late and covers the number they are favored by.
These front-door and backdoor covers are common when second and third string players enter games in college football and it can be the worst nightmare for some bettors. These players can also be your best friend, but ask any bettor and he will give you more instances on losing in this situation than winning. It just seems to work out that way even though everything evens out in the end.
College football betting has some of the softest lines of any sport and it’s being able to find these lines that will make you a successful college football handicapper. The NFL and NBA have the tightest lines around and while those sports can be beat by looking at situations and systems, college football doesn’t quite work that way. It’s much more manual, but when done correctly, it’s much more gratifying as well.
Getting into the nuts and bolts of college football means looking at the many stats in order to beat the number. As opposed to pro football, college football is less dependent on situations and angles and more on certain statistics. Rushing offense and defense, pass efficiency offense and defense and turnover margins are huge. These are vital in the NFL, but even more so when it comes to college football.
Being able to run the ball in college football has always been a key factor in the overall success of a team. The same adage also goes for teams who have the ability to stop the run. Putting these two factors together can produce some positive results in a team’s record both straight up and against the spread. These numbers show huge differences in teams and the spread may not take those into effect, which is where the value comes into play.
Passing yardage numbers both for and against can be a misinterpreted statistic. However, pass efficiency has always been one of the best ways to look at a teams’ passing game ability both offensively and defensively. But is it really a true indication of how they perform? I wouldn’t say so since they are raw passing numbers with nothing else taken into consideration.
I use pass efficiency ratings when doing my handicapping but I adjust my numbers based on a number of factors including power ratings, strength of schedules, personnel and injuries. This gives a much better picture of a team’s ability to pass effectively and also being able to defend the pass. Tweaking pass efficiency stats instead of raw passing yards is the key.
Turnovers are the single most frustrating, and at times the most gratifying, aspect of a college football lines, mostly because they are so unpredictable. They are part of the game and most of the time nothing can be done to control them. However, turnovers are contagious and they can carry over from game to game and season to season.
It’s important to know how to forecast these unforeseen events and how to use them to your advantage. You can find ways to give yourself an edge by looking at past histories of teams and coaches and how they have fared in turnover wars in the past. Instead of turnovers hurting you at the wrong times, find ways to use them to your advantage.
As you can see, college football handicapping is very labor intensive and isn’t just based on where teams are ranked in the AP and coaches polls. Experience, coaching and match-ups are all important since unlike the NFL, college teams turn over much more often with new personnel at most positions every single year. Keeping current on this information is vital.
Betting NCAA football can be lucrative if done correctly, but more importantly, it’s just plain enjoyable because it can be beat. College football is one of the best sports to watch with some of the best rivalries taking place in all of sports. The only downfall is that a championship isn’t decided on the field but on a computer-based system that is the Bowl Championship Series. That will change someday and we will all be better off for it.
