NFLX Dallas Cowboys vs. San Diego Chargers

10* San Diego Chargers -3+100

Dallas heads to San Diego on Thursday night to open their exhibition season against the Chargers. The Cowboys have put Head Coach Jason Garrett on the hot seat after his 3rd straight 8-8 SU season in 2013. Dallas Owner Jerry Jones shook up the defense after they ended last year ranked last in the NFL and the Boys are scrambling to fill positions left opened by LB Lee injuring his knee in training camp and DE Ware joining the Broncos. On the other side you have a Chargers team coming off a solid 10-8 season in 2013 behind 2nd year Head Coach Mike McCoy. The Chargers have a season with McCoy under their belt and things should only run smoother in his second season. We'll back San Diego, who owns a profitable 23-18 mark as Preseason favorites, as they're too many questions in "Big D" to want any part of backing the Cowboys this early.

BLACK DIAMOND MLB RELEASE

TODAY'S WINNER GIANTS/BREWERS OVER 8 -120

Today we are laying the money on the over. Jake Peavy will take the mound for the Giants. Jake hasn't really got situated with the team yet, and is facing difficulties in ball control. Jake is averaging a 5.80 ERA on the road, and has surrendered 44 earned runs in 68.3 innings. Today Jake will face Wily Peralta who has struggled in the past against the Giants. Wily is pitching a 5.23 ERA against the Giants, and has allowed 6 earned runs on the average in his last 2 starts in this series. This line is very undervalued when you read between the lines. I was talking to my Offshore Boys on this game, and we are both on the same page. Lay the money, and get PAID... Thank You

'Practice Season'

The first full week of NFL preseason football begins on Thursday, August 7 with six games on tap, followed by ten more over the next three days. Many sports bettors prefer a 'wait and see' attitude at this time of the year because most teams are content to limit activity of starters' while handing most duties to raw rookies making it tough identifying squads that will succeed during tune-up clashes. However, there are still plenty of good wagering opportunities for those who wish to participate in preseason betting. Studying past histories of teams during August and certain coaches can glean wagering edges. A coach like Sean Payton instills a winning attitude during practice season which is why Saints have produce a solid 16-5 ATS stretch in August. A guy like Andy Reid who saw his club fall apart after the bye week losing 6-of-8 will likely exert energies evaluating personnel rather than worry about improving Chiefs 4-16 (3-15-2 ATS) skid in warm-ups. Note: Reid is 1-8-1 against the spread in his last ten HOF/WK1 preseason games in Philadelphia and Kansas City. The Super Bowl rematch between Seattle and Denver is an interesting one. Super Bowl winners still on a high are not always the best bets the first time out in preseason posting a 4-6 ATS record L10 yrs. As for Super Bowl runner ups, they're even worse at 0-6 ATS L6 yrs, 2-8 ATS L10 yrs. Little wonder, Broncos opening 2 point fave have now moved to 1 point dogs.

Formerly strong team becoming wasteland for bettors

The Phoenix Mercury were looking like guaranteed money for bettors not long ago, but after a stunning 11-0 run against the spread, the money has dried up. The Mercury have now lost three-straight ATS for bettors.

The Mercury are seven-point road favorites against the San Antonio Stars Thursday.

River City Sharps

3 Units Baltimore Orioles +104

The Toronto Blue Jays try and get a game closer to the lead in the AL East tonight as they host the Baltimore Orioles in the final game of their three-game set. The Orioles will give the ball to Miguel Gonzalez (5-6, 3.93) to be opposed by the Jays J.A. Happ (8-5, 4.34) The Jays took a 5-1 decision on Wednesday night, but these teams have seemingly been moving in different directions over the past couple of weeks. The Orioles have been red hot and have been playing particularly well on the road, winning five of their last seven games. Showalter's team has been pretty solid in bouncing back off a loss this season, posting a 35-16 record in their last 51 games following a loss. Thursday's have been good as well for Gonzalez as the Orioles are 7-1 in Gonzalez's last eight Thursday starts and 4-1 in his last five games as the road dog. We expect the Orioles to get another bounce back win here tonight.

10* NY Yankees +113

This game has the 62-49 Tigers and the 59-54 Yankees. We have ridden the Yankees for 3 straight wins and I'm confident in them finishing off the sweep today they are red hot right now and believe they can make the playoffs.Shane Greene has been very strong in his first 5 starts and I think this line looks fishy Vegas is trying to get as much Tigers action as possible early and it's working as 68% are backing them yet the line has moved 9 cents the wrong way showing major sharp action on the Yanks.
