The NFL Network will be covering yet another fantastic AFL betting duel on Friday night, and here at Cappers Info, we've got the lowdown on everything you need to know about the game between the Cleveland Gladiators and the Chicago Rush, as well as the rest of our Week 2 selections.

Cleveland Gladiators (+8) vs. Chicago Rush

Cleveland Notes: QB John Dutton had one of the worst games of his AFL career in Week 1 against Arizona. In spite of the fact that he threw for 287 yards and seven TDs, he also threw four interceptions. However, it became clear that this was going to be a lethal offense if Dutton could hang onto the football. WR Ben Nelson scored four times in what could be a real breakout year for the veteran that used to play in San Jose. WR Brent Holmes, who was solid with the Georgia Force two years ago, caught six passes for 85 yards and two TDs, and he also picked up 30 kick return yards to boot. The biggest problem that this team had in Week 1 was kick coverage, as two kickoffs were returned for touchdowns. The Gladiators led 35-14 at halftime, but gave up the lead with a miserable start to the third quarter in which Arizona started on a 21-0 run.

Chicago Notes: The jury is still out on the Rush this year. Beating a lowly Iowa team that many expect to see amongst the worst in the AFL isn't exactly impressive by any means, particularly since QB Russ Michna, much like Dutton, turned the ball over four times (one INT, three fumbles). The Chicago offense might've scored 61 points, but by no means can HC Mike Hohensee be overly thrilled with that unit. His defense came up with stop after stop though, forcing six turnovers and coming up with a turnover on downs. All three defensive backs picked off passes for the Rush, while LB Clifton Smith picked up two of the four Chicago sacks on the day. The 61-43 win was the biggest margin of victory in Week 1 of the season.

The Final Word: This line has already dropped from 10.5 down to eight as of Friday morning, and will most likely drop even further by game time. Don't be overly surprised to find out that the wrong team is favored in this one. The Cleveland offense proved last week that it can do anything it wants to, while the defense only legitimately conceded six touchdowns, three of which were on very short fields. Chicago has one of the best home field advantages in the AFL though, so it may pull out a narrow victory. Still, taking the points, even as low as +3 is probably the better option.

Prediction: Chicago 59 – Cleveland 57

Entire AFL Week 2 Card
Cleveland +8 @ Chicago
Spokane +1 @ Utah

Tiger Woods returns to PGA Tour betting action on Thursday morning at Augusta National for the 2010 Masters. The odds to win the Masters are posted at JustBet Sportsbook, and here at Cappers Info, we're going to answer the question that is the hottest on the minds of sports betting fanatics everywhere. Tiger or the field?

At JustBet, you can find Woods at +420 and the field at -620.

Tiger looks great in his Green Jacket, but will he get to wear it again come Sunday night?

Let's start by stating the obvious. Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world, and he absolutely should be the favorite to win this event regardless of whether or not he is coming off of a six month absence from the PGA Tour or not. Tiger has tamed the course at Augusta four times in his career, including by a whopping 12 shots in 1997, his first ever major victory. In total, he has 14 majors to his credit.

Those are accolades that any golfer in the history of the sport would be proud of. Inevitably, assuming that he keeps his wits about him, Woods is going to become the most decorated golfer ever, surpassing Jack Nicklaus' 18 major titles and Sam Snead's 82 PGA Tour victories, and he's going to do it in less time (and quite possibly far less time) than any other golfer ever accomplished such goals.

However, Tiger has looked more like a kitty cat at times in recent major tournaments. He missed the cut at the '09 Open Championship, and was caught from behind on the final day of the PGA Championship by little known Y.E. Yang, putting his consecutive majors without a win at *gasp!* five straight.

Now, between the injury that cost him both the Open Championship and PGA Championship in 2008 and this whole sex scandal and infidelity to his wife floating around in the media, there's every reason to believe that the almighty Tiger might not be at the top of his game.

In the words of ESPN's Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend."

Laying worse than 1-6 against Woods seems to be a foolish idea in basically any event. He won six of his 17 starts in 2009 coming back from that knee injury that cost him the end of the 2008 season. He has been especially solid in majors, as he has lifted the trophy in 13 of his L/25 entries.

Beyond that fact, we now have a motivated Tiger Woods on our hands. Everyone is telling the greatest golfer in the world that he can't figure out how to come back straight from a long layoff to win a major championship, particularly at Augusta. Woods still appears to be in great shape, and he's going to be one of the biggest drivers on the course at all times. That'll come in handy for the five holes of at least 500 yards that this course offers.

If you believe what he said at his Monday press conference, Woods feels like the weight of the world is off of his shoulders now that the entire world knows about his off the course escapades and that he doesn't have to worry about hiding his personal life.

This writer has never been one to stare into the eye of the Tiger. Ernie Els may have won two straight tournaments that he has entered. Phil Mickelson may have broken that major hex and has captured two Green Jackets in the past. The rest of the field may feel like it has a bit of a psychological edge on him as well.

But at the end of the day, Tiger is still the one that is feared most in this tournament, and if it comes down to a Sunday at Augusta National, it isn't going to matter how many women claim that they have slept with him or what his status is going on at home.

He's still Tiger Woods, and we're not betting against him.

It all comes down to this on Monday night! After taking two significantly vastly roads to reach the NCAA Tournament final, the Butler Bulldogs and Duke Blue Devils will face off in a college basketball betting affair for the right to be crowned champions of the NCAA basketball world.

What's At Stake: The Blue Devils are trying to become National Champions for the first time since 2001 when they toppled Arizona in the title game. Butler has already set all sorts of school and team records, becoming the first Horizon League school to advance past the Sweet 16 in this tournament, let alone all the way to the final. Should the Bulldogs win it, they'd become the first mid-major since 1990 (UNLV) to actually win the whole enchilada.

College Basketball Odds: Duke -7 at BetUS Sportsbook

Butler Notes: Aside from becoming the first Horizon League team to do this, that, and the other, Butler has also made a bit of history by becoming the first team in NCAA Tournament history to win five games in the dance and hold all five foes under 60 points. Its 55.4 points per game allowed is clearly the best in the tournament, and it's even more impressive than its 59.4 points per game conceded for the duration of the year. The Bulldogs are going to need to find some more consistent scoring though, as on Saturday night, aside from F Gordon Hayward and G Shelvin Mack, the rest of the team shot just 4/26 from the field. Both Mack and F Matt Howard are in question for Monday night's game after the two both suffered injuries in the national semifinal against Michigan State.

Duke Notes: NCAA basketball betting fans have tried to find a reason to dog the Dookies all year long. First, it was that their non-conference schedule was relatively weak. Then it was that the ACC was down. Then it was that they were gift-wrapped an undeserving #1 seed and that they had the easiest road to the Final Four. After slamming West Virginia by three touchdowns, no one is questioning Duke any longer. The Blue Devils proved that they could play a hardnosed game against one of the top teams in the entire country, and they rolled to 5-0 ATS with ease into the National Final.

Players to Watch

F Gordon Hayward, Butler Bulldogs: This is really the only chance that Butler may have of springing the upset. If that's the case, Hayward will almost certainly win Final Four MVP, as he scored 19 points to go with his nine boards against Sparty on Saturday, shooting 6/14 from the floor on a night that the rest of his team really let him down. He has been the main scoring and rebounding option for the Horizon League champs all season, long, putting up 15.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per night.

G Jon Scheyer, Duke Blue Devils: Two nights ago, we highlighted F Kyle Singler for Coach K, but the truth of the matter is that any one of these big three (along with G Nolan Smith) could be the man to watch for the Dookies. Scheyer seems to be the team's captain of the three, and he came up with 23 points against the Mountaineers and frequently shot right through the trees in his face. Scheyer led the team in scoring this season at 18.3 points per game, but he is also the top distributor on the club at 4.3 assists per game.

Trends of Note

-Butler is 6-0 ATS in its L/6 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5 points
-Butler is 20-6 ATS in its L/26 games as an underdog
-Butler is 44-21-1 ATS in its L/66 non-conference games
-Duke is 5-0 ATS in its L/5 NCAA Tournament games
-Duke is 7-3-1 ATS in its L/11 games following an SU win of at least 20 points

Final Analysis: With as well as the Dookies are playing, it's hard to pick against them. However, in order to beat Butler by more than a touchdown, you're probably going to have to score at least 65-70 points. It's certainly possible, but it's not particularly likely. We'll accept that the Blue Devils are going to be cutting down the nets, but it won't come following a perfect ATS March Madness, as the Bulldogs will find a way to stick in front of the number.

Selection: Butler +7

For QB Donovan McNabb, his NFL career has to be one of sheer frustration. After all, when then Commission Paul Tagliabue stepped up to the microphone and announced, "With the second pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select…" everyone clad in green and white was hoping to hear the name, "Ricky Williams."

Instead, that sentence out of the commish's mouth ended with, "quarterback Donovan McNabb, Syracuse."

Let the booing begin.

The press in Philadelphia, which is known to be just a tad bit on the harsh side, made a mockery out of the move from the get go, saying how much more the Eagles would've done with Williams in their backfield than McNabb under center.

All that McNabb did in his 11 years in Philadelphia was bring the team to five NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl. He only threw for 216 touchdown passes against 100 picks and only ran for another 28 scores with his own two legs. He has only thrown for at least 16 touchdown passes every year since his rookie campaign. He only threw for 32,873 yards and averaged 222.1 yards per game in his career. He only completed 59.0 percent of his passes.

Oh yeah, and he's only a Hall of Famer.

But apparently, McNabb wasn't good enough for the Eagles, and now, he's been shipped out of town.

It's not unusual to see a player at the end of his career ultimately end up playing somewhere outside of the city that made him famous. After all, Emmitt Smith played in Arizona. Jerry Rice ended up in Oakland and Seattle for awhile. Joe Montana finished with the Chiefs, as did Warren Moon. Heck, even Vinny Testaverde left Tampa Bay after awhile.

But in the wee hours of Sunday night, McNabb was traded within his own division, as he is now going to be Mike Shanahan's starting quarterback as a member of the Washington Redskins.

In exchange, all that Philly got back was a second round draft pick this year, and either a third or a fourth in 2011.

You don't think that the Syracuse product has the game in Philadelphia circled on his calendar already, do you?

What this means for football bettors is that the face of the NFC East has turned over. Unless former Houston Cougars' QB Kevin Kolb or the beleaguered QB Michael Vick can prove that he is ready to step up and be a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, the Eagles are probably going to turn themselves into a team that is battling for draft position as opposed to one that is fighting for a championship.

For Washington, the need for a quarterback became apparently when QB Jason Campbell really failed to progress under the tutelage of HC Jim Zorn, who was known as a quarterback expert as a coordinator. Many thought that QB Sam Bradford out of Oklahoma was going to be the man that owner Dan Snyder looked to in the NFL Draft. But with speculation swirling that Bradford was heading to St. Louis, the Skins had to make a move.

They made a huge one.

This isn't the first time that a quarterback was traded from Philadelphia to Washington. The McNabb trade came just three days after the 46th anniversary of the Eagles trading Sonny Jurgensen to the Redskins for QB Norm Snead and DB Claude Crabb. All that Jurgensen did was become known as one of the greatest pure passers of his time and lead Washington from the depths of obscurity into a Super Bowl contender in the 1970s.

And just like Jurgensen, who was booted out of Philadelphia after simply not being good enough, McNabb faces the exact same challenge in Washington.

On yesterday's trade, Jurgensen simply said, "These guys never learn."

If the Eagles don't fly back to the playoffs in 2010 and Washington does instead, the press will still be swarming in Philadelphia, but the next people that are going to be asked to leave town for not being good enough are HC Andy Reid and GM Howie Roseman.

Maybe the Eagles organization needs to look itself in the mirror. It might not have been Donovan McNabb's fault that they never won a championship after all.

After a long offseason of waiting, the New York Yankees will make their first appearance as World Series champions on Sunday night at Fenway Park, where they will take on their hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

MLB Betting Odds: Boston Red Sox -120 at Diamond Sportsbook (Take Advantage of Our 100% Free Play Bonus by clicking This Link)

New York Pitcher: LHP CC Sabathia will be back for his second season in pinstripes. He arguably was good enough to win the AL Cy Young Award last season, and if not for the fact that he was roughed up in his final start against Tampa Bay, he would've won 20 games and probably won the honors. Sabathia finished 2009 at 19-8 with a 3.37 ERA. However, he's only 5-5 all-time against the Red Sox, though he does have a respectable 3.29 ERA against them.

Boston Pitcher: The Sox will counter by sending RHP Josh Beckett to the bump. Beckett pitched like a Cy Young candidate during the first half of last season, going 11-3 with a 3.35 ERA before the All-Star Break, but he settled down and went just 6-3 with a 4.53 ERA in the second half. Even though the former Florida Marlin is a solid 9-5 against the Bronx Bombers, he'd probably rather forget that he ever has to face them. Beckett has a lofty 5.33 ERA against the Yanks and allowed eight runs in as many innings of work against them in his last outing against them on August 23rd of last year.

Handicapping Notes: Both of these offenses can mash without a doubt, as New York topped the majors in run production last year at 5.65 runs per game, while Boston was third with 5.38 runs per game. The Red Sox are going to have a few new faces in the fold this year, as 3B Adrian Beltre, SS Marco Scutaro, and CF Mike Cameron are all new additions to the lineup. The Yanks, as always, found ways to try to improve their team in spite of the fact that they lost DH Hideki Matsui, LF Johnny Damon, and CF Melky Cabrera following their World Series run. In their spots are DH Nick Johnson and OF Curtis Granderson. LF Brett Gardner will probably start the year in left field as a part of a platoon.

Series Notes: Last year, this was a bloody rivalry that looked like it was going to be one-way traffic for the entire season. The Sox won the first eight meetings between these arch rivals, only to ultimately lose nine of the final ten over the course of the year to ultimately split the season series right down the middle at nine games apiece.

The Final Word: The Red Sox might be 7-3 against New York in Beckett's L/10 starts, but the one time that Beckett matched up with Sabathia, it was CC that got the job done for the men in pinstripes. It's not often that you see the Yankees as underdogs, particularly with Sabathia on the bump, and while you have that opportunity, you just can't pass it up. In fact, the only time last year that the ace of this staff was a pup was, you guessed it, in Boston against Beckett and the Red Sox.

Prediction: New York Yankees +100 at Diamond

The Arena Football League is back after a year long hiatus, and after a great first night of action, the league returns with a four-pack of games on Saturday night to dig into.

Arizona Rattlers (+3) vs. Cleveland Gladiators

Arizona Notes: On one glance, losing out on QB Joe Germaine in the offseason was bad news for the Rattlers. However, grabbing Nick Davila, who went 38-3 in the af2 over the L/3 seasons as a starting quarterback in the af2, isn't stepping back too much even though the name isn't as recognizable to AFL fans. Even though neither WRs JJ McKelvey nor Cleannord Santil are going to suit it up, there is still plenty of Arena League quality talent coming back to the desert. The offensive line should be amongst the best in the league with Troy Reddick and Kyle Young, and the defensive front is going to be solid with DLs Ron Jones and Darrell Shropshire as well.  Look for WRs Tod Devoe and Trandon Harvey to have big games against an inexperienced Cleveland secondary.

Cleveland Notes: QB John Dutton takes over the reins in Cleveland off of a season in which he threw 17 picks, his fourth straight season in which he chucked at least 14 duds to the other team. In a league where taking care of the football is paramount, that's a terrible statistic. The combination of Ben Nelson, Brent Holmes, and Chris Johnson makes up for a veteran set of wide receivers, but neither of the lines really have any substantial arena league experience to fall back on. The defensive backs also haven't seen a lot of time on the turf at this level either.

The Final Word: Arizona is simply the better team in this game. Both head coaches, Kevin Guy (AZ) and Steve Thonn (CLE) know what they're doing in this league, but Guy has assembled the better set of assistant coaches, including Arena Football Hall of Famer Danny White, who led this Arizona squad to two Arena Bowl titles in his tenure. But as long as Davila doesn't catch a case of the AFL fever, he should be good enough to lead his Rattlers to a road upset in a game which could feature a ton of scoring.

Prediction: Arizona 79 – Cleveland 68

Arizona +3 @ Colorado
Oklahoma City +4 vs. Jacksonville

The NCAA Tournament will be whittled down to just two teams after Saturday night's college basketball betting action is complete, and in the second half of the double header from Lucas Oil Stadium, the Duke Blue Devils will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers.

What's At Stake: The Blue Devils, once one of the proudest programs in the NCAAs, hasn't been to a Final Four since 2004 and a National Championship Game since winning the 2001 title. West Virginia will be in search of its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament Championship Game since 1959, the only time that the team ever reached the Final Four. The Mountaineers have never won a title in men's basketball.

College Basketball Odds: Duke -2.5 at JustBet Sportsbook

(For Cappers Info Customers Only: 100% Bonus @ JustBet; Click Here)

West Virginia Notes: It is unlikely that G Darryl Bryant will be able to take the court on Saturday night for the Mountaineers, meaning more playing time for G Joe Mazzulla, who scored 17 points in the Elite 8 against Kentucky. The 'Neers aren't a particularly deep team without Bryant in the starting five, as only six players will probably play more than five minutes or so on Saturday. Still, this is a squad that is averaging 72.8 points per game this year, which is a very respectable number considering that fact that it plays its regular season ball in the Big East.

Duke Notes: The Blue Devils aren't a very deep team either, and HC Mike Krzyzewski knows that he is going to have to rely on his main three scorers to pick up the slack. Both G Jon Scheyer and G Nolan Smith are coming off of 20+ point games in the Elite 8 against Baylor, and they'll need to be big once again for the Dookies to play for all of the marbles on Monday night. Duke has the second best three point shooting defense in the country, allowing just 27.8 percent of its three point field goal attempts to be made.

Players to Watch

F Kevin Jones, West Virginia Mountaineers: With all due respect to F Da'Sean Butler, we already know that he's going to get his points and his rebounds. Hopefully for HC Bob Huggins' sake, Butler can keep up with Smith in scoring for Duke. It's Jones that is going to be charged with keeping F Kyle Singler under wraps defensively and will be asked to keep up with Scheyer's scoring abilities. Jones was second on the team in both scoring (13.7 points per game) and rebounding (7.2 boards per game) in '09-'10.

F Kyle Singler, Duke Blue Devils: For the first time in his four year collegiate career, Singler put up a big, fat goose egg in the field goals made column for the Dookies in the Elite 8 against Baylor. He averaged 17.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this year, so scoring just five points from the charity stripe for an entire game was shocking to say the least. Singler will absolutely have to do some damage in the paint for Duke to have success, as the outside game probably won't be able to stay hot forever.

Trends of Note

-West Virginia is 12-2-1 ATS in its L/15 NCAA Tournament betting affairs
-West Virginia is 5-1 ATS in its L/6 games against the ACC
-West Virginia is 5-0-1 ATS in its L/6 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog
-Duke is 4-0 ATS in its L/4 NCAA Tournament games
-Duke is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of less than seven points
-Duke is 1-5-1 ATS in its L/7 games against the Big East

Final Analysis: The Mountaineers ended Duke's run in the 2008 tourney with a 73-67 win. The tide probably won't turn on Saturday night. West Virginia is just too athletic of a club to deal with, and unless the Scheyer/Smith/Singler combination can really get it going again and eclipsed their 53+ points per game scored on the season, the Dookies are going to be in a lot of trouble.

Selection: West Virginia +2.5

Final Four betting action takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night, and the first ticket to college basketball's grandest stage will be punched in the duel between the Michigan State Spartans and the Butler Bulldogs.

What's At Stake: For Michigan State, it will get a chance to play in its second straight National Championship Game in its sixth trip to the Final Four under HC Tom Izzo. Butler, the first Horizon League team ever to advance to the Elite 8, let alone the Final Four, will obviously be searching for its first championship in school history.

College Basketball Odds: Butler -1 at BetUS Sportsbook

(Get an awesome 100% deposit bonus available at @ BetUS; Click Here)

Michigan State Notes: Izzo's squad clearly has the experience advantage having been here and done this a year ago. However, without G Kalin Lucas in the lineup, this offense could look lost at times. Against the Volunteers in the Elite 8, there were moments of sheer brilliance for the Spartans, but there were also moments in which no one appeared ready to take the shot when it counted the most. Michigan State scored 72.4 points per game this year, and it has already proven that it can win a game in the manner that Butler wants to play at, as it knocked off #9 Northern Iowa 59-52 in the Sweet 16. However, the Spartans, in spite of the fact that they allow just 64.1 points per game, have the worst defense of the Final Four teams.

Butler Notes: There really isn't a logical reason to describe how the Bulldogs got past both #1 Syracuse and #2 Kansas State in a matter of two days last week aside from the fact that they're really, really good. Now, they'll put a 24-game winning streak, the longest in the nation, on the line just seven miles from their own campus at Lucas Oil Stadium. Defense carried this team here, as all four tourney foes were held under 60 points, and defense is what must win it for the Horizon League champs, because there just aren't enough scorers on this team to shoot it out with the talented Spartans.

Players to Watch

G Durrell Summers, Michigan State Spartans: Without Lucas in the starting five, someone had to step up and take over the scoring load for Sparty, and that's exactly what Summers has done. He has put together three straight games of at least 19 points scored, and he's probably the best MVP candidate on this team right now. Summers can stroke it from long range and slice to the basket with equal proficiency, and he'll be the difference maker if MSU is going back to the big show on Monday night.

F Gordon Hayward, Butler Bulldogs: Hayward saved arguably his best game of the season for one of the most important stages that he'll ever play on. He put up 22 points and brought in nine boards against Kansas State last weekend to help boost the Bulldogs to the Final Four. It's been awhile since Hayward has recorded a double-double (five straight games after posting five straight double-doubles), but he's proving that he can play with anyone in the land, averaging 16.0 points per game in the tourney so far and having his best two games against his toughest two foes.

Trends of Note

-Michigan State is 25-10-1 ATS in its L/26 NCAA Tournament tussles
-Michigan State is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 games against Horizon League foes
-Michigan state is 4-0 ATS in its L/4 NCAA Tournament games as underdogs of less than seven points
-Butler is 5-1-1 ATS in its L/7 games against the Big Ten
-Butler is 43-21-1 ATS in its L/65 games outside of the Horizon League
-Butler is 3-10 ATS in its L/13 games following an ATS victory.

Final Analysis: This is the classic battle of youth versus experience. If exuberance and a slight home court advantage prove to be the difference, it'll be Butler that marches on. However, we're talking about a team coached by a Hall of Famer who has won in the most hostile of territories known in the college basketball world. Izzo knows what he's doing, and so does the rest of his team. This is unfinished business for the Spartans. They'll move on to the final and burst Cinderella's bubble.

Selection: Michigan State +1
