In poring over college football Week 10 odds, it’s clear that bookmakers still aren’t buying into Michigan State. Sure, the Spartans’ odds to win the Big Ten and their price in the College Football Playoff odds market are shortening. But fifth-ranked and unbeaten Michigan State opened as a mere 3-point road favorite against unranked Purdue.…

The AFC North is one of only two NFL divisions (along with the AFC West) to have every team at .500 or better heading into NFL Week 9.

As bookmakers tried to get the license plate of the Week 6 Sunday bus that crushed them, NFL Week 7 odds hit the board.

Week 6 is in the books, but its impact lingers on with NFL Week 7 betting odds, most notably on the injury front. An AFC clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans has several players carrying the questionable tag. This week and every week, Props.com’s Countdown to Kickoff serves as a one-stop-shop for…

There are two themes readily apparent on the college football Week 8 odds board. First, bookmakers expect a lot of butt-kickings to be administered by top-flight teams. Second, in the limited number of good matchups, three games feature ranked teams as road underdogs to unranked teams — including two top-10 outfits. One of those is…
