The Aztecs are led by senior quarterback Ryan Lindley (2,740 yards – 52.5 completion pct – 20 td’s / 8 int – 122.9 rating). The running game is in great hands with phenom sophomore RB Ronnie Hillman (287 carries – 1,656 yards – 19 td’s). Hillman had a 99-yard touchdown run in a losing effort against Wyoming on October 29th. Hillman reminds some watchers of previous Aztecs phenom and latest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran up and down opposing players in the early 1990′s.

NHL bet

The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in attempting to stifle Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will surely get a workout in this shootout of two great squads. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the ground game of Hillman will be a spectacle. Both schools will look to put a lot of points on the board in this classic.

The Thunder may have a little bit of rust to work off, having had the past few days off after eliminating the Denver Nuggets, but can they be more competitive in this series than the San Antonio Spurs were?

Football betting expectations are often low for the Indianapolis Colts but they seem to always find a way to get into the playoffs and are a dangerous football gambling commodity with Peyton Manning.

Manning finished with a 91.8 QB rating and a 33/17 TD/INT ratio with 4700 yards passing. Manning came back strong after the worst 3 game stretch of his career since his rookie season as many were questioning whether he had lost it.

Reggie Wayne is his top receiver with 1355 yards and 6 TD’s. The Colts defense ranked 23rd for points allowed and 25th against the rush, which is a NFL gambling concern in this matchup against the Jets as New York ranked 4th in rushing offense.

The Jets enter wild card weekend betting with a record of 11-5 straight up and 9-7 against the spread with 12 of their games going over the total. Quarterback Mark Sanchez is the big concern regarding the Jets as he slipped badly down the stretch and finished with a 75.2 QB rating and had a mediocre 17/13 TD/INT ratio.

Super Bowl Odds

The running game features LaDainian Tomlinson who had 906 yards and a 4.1 yards per carry average with 6 TD’s. Braylon Edwards was the top receiver with 904 yards and a 17.1 yards per catch average with 7 TD’s. Defense is the football betting asset of the Jets as they ranked 3rd overall in the NFL.

The Jets have paid out in 10 of their last 14 away games and have gotten the money in 11 of their last 16 games as a dog. The Colts have paid out in just 2 of their last 7 games as a favorite but have paid out in 18 of their last 25 games versus teams with a winning record.
