The feisty canucks from Covers are focusing on so many aspects of the game tonight they’ve been googly-eyed since mini-camp began in early August. Plus they have all of that catatonic CFL action to pay attention to as well(Geaux Argonauts!). But today, there’s only one game on their docket that all the books are looking at—and one number in tonight’s Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots game, which is the number 51. 51 is the “play price” for most bettors to pile on the under. As of yesterday, the number sat seductively at 50, waiting for a stiff breeze of Randy Moss’s buddha smoke to blow it over the top. The Covers crew says 51 is the number to watch. We shall oblige and get fat from their wisdom. As of early this morning, BetCris.com was one of the only sports books to have it above 50, with a 50 1/2 point total set for the game.

Your Stadium Killed My Over

The Rocky Mountain air at Coors Field and a windy day at Wrigley Field usually mean higher run totals. Most bookmakers make their adjustments around these two ballparks, regardless. But what about some other parks where ballooning run totals are common? The Covers crew took some time to number crunch and came up with a list of even more stadiums bettors should look at when laying money on baseball. The Washington Nationals home at RFK Stadium has turned into a launching pad. Same goes for the Cincinnati Reds’ Great American Ballpark. The Seattle Mariners’ Safeco Field is a haven for pitchers. And the once hitter-friendly confines of Camden Yards have morphed into a pitcher’s park of late. Suspiciously absent from the list are the Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Ballpark which has a left field shorter than some Little League parks. Just talk to the Bank’s hot dog vendors who have been conked on the head by Pat Burrell homeruns this year more so than any other season.
