If we had to pinpoint where the majority of our success in horse racing comes from over the years, it would have to be high profile races. In fact, not only do we succeed but we excel in them. That’s where our biggest prices and most consistent winners come from. Historically, we have collected in nearly 67% of the Road to the Derby Races over the last eight years. It’s why ATS is known as “King of the Big Races” and another reason for why you should take full advantage of the 2010 Road to the Kentucky Derby Package.

Being the nation’s true authority on horseracing takes more than just a group of professionals reading between the lines of the Daily Racing Form or simply relying on speed figures and other so-called ratings. It also takes more than just getting the best speed figures in the business. At ATS Consultants, our horse consultants and horse experts don’t need to read the form – only public bettors do that. We win consistently because we have an unbeatable advantage of INFORMATION! Information that 99% of the betting public from the mutual pool doesn’t get.

And right now, you have the golden opportunity to take full advantage of this valuable information! Jump aboard a four month ride of all 75 Kentucky Derby Prep Races by purchasing the ATS 2010 Road to the Derby Package for only $299.

2010 Capital One Bowl: LSU vs. Penn State
Free Pick: LSU +2 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football picks from Alex Smart

The Tigers sort of sputtered a bit down the stretch, but considering how brutal their schedule was, it’s hard to blame them. Games against Arkansas, Auburn, and Florida at home and Washington, Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss on the road are no laughing matter. HC Les Miles should be thrilled that his squad can still successfully muster a ten-win season. The offense has just been brutal at times in 2009, ranking 107th in the land at just 309.8 yards per game. QB Jordon Jefferson has been the subject of a lot of criticism in Baton Rouge, as he only threw for 1,958 yards and 16 TDs this year in the rough and tumble SEC. Even though the defense only allowed 16.0 points per game, it’s hard to argue that its numbers just aren’t as good as they usually are. LSU’s ‘D’ only ranked 26th in the land at 326.2 yards per game; for a Miles-coached team, better was expected even if the schedule was brutal.

Penn State’s problem this year was playing in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions were crippled by both Iowa and Ohio State on their home turf and ultimately went just 2-6 ATS there. It was a relatively disappointing year for both RB Evan Royster and QB Daryll Clark, both of which were on the preseason Heisman watch list. Royster averaged 5.8 yards per carry and amassed 1,110 yards to go with six rushing scores. Clark threw for 2,787 yards and 23 TDs, but his ten INTs really drew the ire of Nittany Lion nation at times this year.

LSU looks like a team on a mission right now. The Tigers played a significantly tougher schedule than Penn State, and they’re ready for the challenge from one of the elite teams in the Big Ten. Don’t look for a ton of offense in this one, but that’s how the Bayou Bengals like it. Take the points all the way to the bank in this college football betting affair.

2010 Cotton Bowl: Mississippi vs. Oklahoma State
Free Pick: Oklahoma State +3 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football picks from Ted Sevransky

Ole Miss came into the season with a Top 5 national ranking and SEC championship dreams. Instead, Houston Nutt’s Rebels suffered a pair of early season losses when their offense was unable to move the football at all against South Carolina and Alabama. The Rebels suffered two more losses later in the year against Auburn and Mississippi State. In those two defeats, the Rebels biggest weakness was on the defensive side of the football; unable to stop the power rushing game in both instances, with their best defensive lineman, Greg Hardy, out for the year. QB Jevan Snead is no gamebreaker, the SEC’s leader in interceptions this season, struggling with his accuracy, his decision making and his confidence. Shay Hodge and Dexter McCluster were both legitimate playmakers, but this offense lacks many complementary pieces. Oklahoma State has those complementary pieces, as evidenced by their nine win season despite losing star receiver Dez Bryant to ineligibility and star running back Kendall Hunter to injury. The Cowboys came up very short against the two best defenses they faced – Texas and Oklahoma. But Okie State moved the football up and down the field against nearly every other defense they faced, scoring 30+ on eight different occasions. Ole Miss won this bowl last year; we’ll call for a lesser performance this time around against an Oklahoma State team that came up short in the Holiday Bowl last December. 2* Take Oklahoma State.

Free College Basketball Pick: Oregon +7 (John Ryan)
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Oregon as they take on Washington State set to start at 6:30 EST. AiS shows a 72% probability that Oregon will lose this game by 7 or fewer points and has a 42% probability of winning the game. WSU is just 6-17 ATS (-12.7 Units) in home games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 3 seasons; 6-17 ATS (-12.7 Units) in home games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 3 seasons; 3-11 ATS (-9.1 Units) in home games versus very good teams that are outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game over the last 3 seasons; 4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) in home games after playing a game as favorite over the last 3 seasons. I like the matchups that Oregon has in this game and this is an opportunity to add a 1.5* amount to the money line.

Free NBA Pick: Philadelphia +1.5 (Jeff Alexander)
Philly has it going with back-to-back quality wins and I’ll ride the 76ers here while they’re hot. In fact, Philly is a perfect 8-0 ATS in road games after scoring 100 points or more 2 straight games over the last 2 seasons, winning in these spots by an average score of 103.6 to 100. Both of these teams just played last night, but the edge has to go to the 76ers when you consider that they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest while the Clippers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. The 76ers are also 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog while the Clippers are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games as a home favorite of 4.5 or fewer points. Take Philly.

Free NBA Pick: Detroit Pistons -4 (Johnny Banks)
The Bulls have been dominated on the road this season and it will continue in Detroit Thursday afternoon. The Bulls opponents have out-scored them by an average of 12.7 points per game over their 13 road games this season. The Pistons will be very strong defensively today after giving up triple digits in back to back games which has not happened since November 22nd. Piston win and cover by 10 point or more at home Thursday so take them as your free winner. Johnny destroyed the books again with his Bowl play last night on the Nebraska Cornhuskers and all of his Bowl plays are now posted! You know what to do!

Free NBA Pick: Heat vs. Spurs Under 195 (Jim Feist)
Two of the top 11 teams in points allowed meet here. Miami is on a 4-1 run under the total, with an impressive .442% shooting by opponents, 5th best in the NBA. San Antonio plays has a losing road record, but in the Alamodome this team plays its best basketball, and that starts with defense. They just held Minnesota to 39% shooting the last game, at home. Look for a defensive battle, play the Heat/Spurs Under the total.

New England Patriots vs. Houston Texans
Free NFL Pick: Houston -7.5 -110 NFL odds – point spreads
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NFL picks from Nick Parsons

For a number of different reasons I believe we’re getting excellent value on the home side:

Sunday’s season finale lacks the buzz last year’s final game packed, for this season the Patriots have already clinched a playoff spot.

The fact this year’s team has already punched its ticket to the playoffs speaks volumes about being good enough to control your own destiny. While this season was far from perfect, the Patriots did finish 8-0 at home, which somewhat gets overshadowed by the fact they’re only 2-5 on the road heading into Sunday’s finale at Houston.

New England is a poor 1-3-1 ATS its last 5 overall and just 2-4-1 ATS its last seven on the road.

The only thing up for grabs is seeding; the Patriots will either be No. 3 or 4 in the AFC. The Cincinnati Bengals will claim whichever seed New England doesn’t get, therefore those two teams won’t play one another in the opening round.

On the other side of the field: This is a must-win game for the the Texanas because they still have playoff hopes. Every available player will be called on to try to defeat the Patriots. It’s no secret that Matt Schaub will look for Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones, David Anderson and TE Joel Dreessen on routes all over the field. He’ll also throw screens to RBs Arian Foster and Ryan Moats.

Dating back to last season the Texans are a powerful 13-6 SU their last 19 at Reliant Stadium.

Bottom line: When taking the above into account, having a second look at the Texans in this situation could be the prudent move; look for HOUSTON to improve to 2-0 ATS this season as a home favorite of 7 1/2 to 10 points and for New England to fall to 1-2 ATS its last three when playing the roll of underdog.

2009 Insight Bowl: Iowa State vs. Minnesota
Free Pick: Iowa State +115 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football picks from Freddy Wills

Minnesota really looked awful down the stretch to be quite honest, and it is mainly due to the fact they are missing All Big Ten receiver Eric Decker and he won’t play tomorrow either. Really makes Weber that much worse! While Iowa State is not exactly lighting up the score bored I give them a good chance at winning here on Saturday. Iowa State is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 vs. the Big-12 Conference. While Minnesota is 3-7 in their last 10 non-conference games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Bowl games as a favorite. This would not surprise me at all if they lost here. Neither team has an offense or defense worth talking about although Iowa State does have a decent running game ranked #36 in the nation while they have faced an opponent ranked #46 in run defense. They also have a win over Nebraska who looked awfully impressive last night. Minnesota has faced four top running teams comparable to Iowa State which is not getting as much credit as it deserves in my opinion. They went 1-3 against those teams that could run the ball in the Top 20. While Iowa State is not in the top 20 they are and can run the ball here tomorrow.

New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings
Free NFL Pick: Minnesota -9 -110 NFL odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NFL picks from Carlo Campanella

History repeated itself again this season as QB Bret Farve is in the middle of his season ending slump after losing on to Chicago, 36-30. That Monday Night Football lost dropped the Vikings (11-4) to 1-3 SU & ATS in their last four games. That slump has put Minnesota in a situation where they are now looking for a victory in order to earn a first round bye in the NFC playoff race. They’ll host a Giants (8-7) squad that hasn’t played well on the road this season, having lost three of their last 4 games away from home by 20 points or more! New York heads to Minnesota on Sunday just 1 game above the .500% mark mainly due to the fact that they’re 1-7 ATS this season against teams owning a winning record. Even with their late season problems, the Vikings are still an unbeaten 7-0 SU (4-2-1 ATS) at home this season. With the Giants needing a miracle to earn a Playoff birth, must lay the points with hosting Minnesota knowing that the Giants defense has been burned for at least 24 points in 5 of their last 6 games.

7* Play On Minnesota

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cleveland Browns
Free NFL Pick: Cleveland -1 -110 odds – NFL point spreads
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NFL football picks from Vernon Croy

1* Take the Cleveland Browns ATS, This pick falls into one of my NFL systems and the Browns are playing a lot better football lately. I look for the Browns to end their season with a dominating performance at home against a dismal Jaguars team. The Browns are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after covering the spread in their previous game and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games when playing a team with a losing record. The Jaguars are just 6-22 ATS in their last 28 games played on a grass surface and they are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games when playing a team with a losing record. The Browns are finally playing a lot better defensively with opponents averaging just 16.3 ppg against them over their last 3 games. The Browns offense is also starting to click averaging 25.7 ppg over their last 3 games and this Jaguars defense just gave up 35 points in back to back games although that was against the Colts and Patriots. Take the Cleveland Browns as my NFL Free Play for Sunday afternoon.

Vernon Croy was 100% perfect last Sunday and his domination on the grid-iron continues in Week 17 with his Legendary NFL Bookie Buster between the Eagles and Cowboys! Go get it!
