Field Goal Into Houston Sept.

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Huntsville, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sam Houston State is still undefeated, and the next stop is Frisco, Texas. The top-seeded, and only undefeated team in the FCS entering the playoffs, Sam Houston State built a big lead and then held on to defeat Montana, 31-28, in the semifinals on Friday night.

 

On one of his biggest runs of the night, Flanders helped the Bearkats convert on a 4th-and-one from their own 48-yard line, picking up the first down and sliding to stay inbounds, allowing them to run out the clock.

 

Earlier, it looked like it wouldn't have even been a close contest, as the Bearkats dominated the first half.

 

Following Bell's touchdown run, Montana responded with a 10-play drive, but couldn't capitalize as Brody McKnight's 48-yard field goal attempt into the wind wasn't even close.

 

Missing the field goal proved to be detrimental for the Grizzlies, as Flanders responded with a 69-yard touchdown run on the very next play at 6:00 of the first quarter.

 

After stalling on its previous drive, Sam Houston State once again found the end zone, this time getting a 27-yard touchdown pass from Bell with 2:15 left in the half.

 

Linebacker Caleb McSurdy gave Montana a lift just before halftime, intercepting a pass and returning it 59-yards for a touchdown with a minute remaining. Sam Houston State entered the halftime break ahead, 28-14.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
