One of the biggest draws of playing casino games online is all the free casino promos. These days big bonuses and online slots seem to go hand in hand, and a casino that doesn’t offer a hefty promo package is going to have a hard time pulling in players that have come to expect the royal treatment from online gaming sites. If you’re a fan of freebies that’s looking for new opportunities, or even if online casino ¸promos are total news to you, we’ve got the scoop on all the online gambling freebies worth finding and trying.

The aspect of college basketball betting that trips up a number of people in March is that the desperate nature of underdog teams sometimes creates upsets. Last Saturday, for instance, then-No. 1 Kansas lost at Oklahoma State. Sure, the Jayhawks were much better on a general level, but Oklahoma State was fighting for its tournament life and played the superior game on that particular day. College basketball teams don’t have to be dominant; they only have to excel for 40 minutes in order to knock off a favored opponent.

People in search of betting tips might use this line of reasoning to predict an early-March upset this weekend in Conference USA, as the underdog UAB Blazers take on the homestanding UTEP Miners in El Paso, Tex. UTEP is definitely the stronger team, but could Alabama-Birmingham engineer a surprise? Read on to find out.

UAB @ UTEP

Saturday, March 3

Bookmaker Odds: No line (as of yet)

There is certainly an understandable basis to place your sports betting confidence in UAB. The Blazers must win this game in order to feel good about their chances of making the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team. A home-court loss to Memphis this past Wednesday dropped coach Mike Davis’ club to third place in Conference USA, and that’s a precarious spot to be. C-USA is a league that has produced only one NCAA Tournament team (Memphis) in each of the past three seasons; the last time more than one C-USA team cracked the field of 65 came in 2006. UAB will definitely be motivated on Saturday, when the guys in green road jerseys travel to the Don Haskins Center to take on a revitalized UTEP program. The key question is, “Will motivation be enough?”

The real reason why UAB lost to Memphis on March 3 was not connected to effort or energy. The Blazers took 22 more field goal attempts than the Tigers. UAB outrebounded Mem­phis 42-30, including 19 offensive boards that helped create a 20-2 advantage in second-­chance points. The Blazers outscored the Tigers 30-16 in the paint. UAB won the turnover battle, 15 (forced) to 11 (committed), and ran away with points off turn­overs, 21-9.

Yet, UAB lost the game, 70-65. Why? The Blazers simply couldn’t put the ball in the bucket. UAB hit only 21 of 65 shots and went just 3 of 24 from long distance. Past UAB seasons have crumbled near the finish line because the Blazers’ tired guards lose their legs when shooting triples, and it seems that such a pattern is repeating itself. Tired and discouraged shooters never create a good formula for success away from home.

In contrast to UAB’s overreliance on the perimeter, the muscular Miners, led by coach Tony Barbee, like to pound the ball inside to big man Derrick Caracter, who starred in Tuesday’s 80-76 win at Marshall. UTEP hasn’t lost since Jan. 13 against Houston and has clinched an outright C-USA title for the first time in the program’s history. This success has emerged because UTEP can slash to the goal or feed Caracter when outside shots aren’t falling.

UAB might be more motivated in this game, but UTEP has the better style of play and more physicality near the rim. There will be no upset. Take the Miners on Saturday night.

Online basketball betting pick: UTEP

College basketball betting players figured that Texas would challenge for the Big 12 title, but they’ve fallen well off the pace, and they’re even behind their rivals from Texas A&M. Both play crucial midweek games before they clash in the basketball edition of the “Lone Star Showdown” on Saturday afternoon.

Texas vs Texas A&M odds – Saturday, February 27, 2:00 PM ET

The No.21 Longhorns (21-6, 7-5) escaped Texas Tech with a 71-67 win last weekend, but they needed to hold off a rally by the Red Raiders. Gary Johnson had a career-high with 22 points off the bench, while Damion James was held to 12 points, but he managed 10 rebounds. They were the only two Longhorns to reach double figures as Texas shot 40.3% from the field, but they did manage to outrebound the Red Raiders 43-26, including 17-4 on the offensive glass, and those second chances were the difference in this game for a floundering Texas team that is struggling just to stay above .500 in the Big 12. The Longhorns will host Oklahoma State, another 7-5 team, on Wednesday.

The No.23 Aggies (19-7, 8-4) bounced back from a tough loss against Kansas to beat Iowa State 60-56 on the road, led by 14 points from Khris Middleton and 12 points from Donald Sloan. The Aggies had a horrible night from the field, shooting 39.6%, but they also held the Cyclones to 32.2%, including 5-of-20 from beyond the arc. Bookmakers (bookmaker reviews) may have been worried that the Aggies were looking ahead to this week, and made them small favorites on the road against one of the Big 12’s worst teams. They wouldn’t have been blamed if they would have done this: the Aggies will head to Baylor, who are another 7-5 team in the conference, on Wednesday night.

The Aggies should be the favorites at home in this contest at Reed Arena, and the Longhorns have lost five straight in College Station. The Longhorns won a spirited 72-67 overtime win on January 16^th in Austin, and James was a beast with 26 points and 12 boards as he put the then-No.1 Longhorns on his back. It all went downhill for the Longhorns after that, as they’ve gone 4-6 in the 10 games since then. The problem with the Longhorns is their guard play, specifically the freshman trio of Avery Bradley, Jordan Hamilton and J’Covan Brown. When they’re good, they are really good, and the Longhorns usually roll. However, they’ve struggled lately, forcing too many bad shots, and outside of a couple of big performances, they haven’t been steady. Look for Texas A&M’s senior guards, Sloan and Derrick Roland, to put the shackles on the young Longhorns.

Bet college basketball: Texas A&M

The Cincinnati Bengals are back in the playoffs and the good news for them is they don’t have to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. The last time they were in the postseason, a lost against the Steelers proved costly as it cost the team their franchise quarterback along with a couple of losing seasons.

While they are back on track, they’ll once again have to face a tough 3-4 defense with blitzing linebackers and an offense that has a young quarterback with a quality running game. Internet gambling cappers know there are a lot of similarities between the Bengals last playoff opponent and this one.

Nonetheless, the Bengals are back at home and after essentially taking a bye week, they should be ready for this contest.

New York Jets @ Cincinnati Bengals

Bookmaker Odds (Bookmaker Reviews): Bengals -2.5

Last Week

The Jets and Bengals squared off in Week 17 and the result was ugly. The Bengals were crushed 37-0 but keep in mind that the game wasn’t as important to both teams.

For the Jets, they needed a win to make the playoffs whereas the Bengals had already punched their ticket and decided not to exert too much of an effort.

The other notable difference was that the contest took place in East Rutherford, New Jersey, whereas this game will take place in Cincinnati.

This Week

We’ll get to see a good matchup of offense versus defense this week as the Jets top-ranked running attack will go up against the Bengals No. 7 rush defense. It should be an interesting clash and the Jets will need to win the battle if they want to win the war.

The Jets still have the short end of the stick when it comes to quarterbacking as their starting will be making his first ever postseason appearance. On the flip side, the Bengals Carson Palmer has been there before and he’s far more experienced as an NFL quarterback.

Sports handicapping experts have to like the Bengals chance in this game. Last week, they were blown out so revenge will be on their minds. Secondly, they’ll be at home for this game, which should make a significant difference.

They are up against a tough defense but they have won five straight games at home and the home fans should fire them up enough to get this win.

NFL Picks: Bengals -2.5

Pittsburgh have to be one of the big sports betting disappointments of the year, as the defending Super Bowl champions are in real danger of missing the playoffs thanks to a four-game losing skid. The Steelers will head to Cleveland on Thursday night to face the lowly Browns, and a loss would essentially end Pittsburgh’s season.

Steelers vs Browns odds – Thursday, December 10, 8:20 PM ET

The Steelers (6-6) fell apart on defense against Oakland in a 27-24 win at home, allowing 21 points in the fourth quarter, which highlights how much they miss Troy Polamalu in the secondary. The Steelers allowed Bruce Gradkowski to throw for 308 yards and three touchdowns, all three of which came in the final 15 minutes. Ben Roethlisberger returned from his concussion to pass for 278 yards, two touchdowns and a pick on 18-of-24 passing, and the Steelers still managed to run for 132 yards, but the collapse on defense dealt a blow to their NFL odds in your sportsbook.

The Browns (1-11) came up short in a 30-23 loss to San Diego at home, as they trailed by 20 points heading into the fourth quarter. Brady Quinn had another solid outing, going 25-of-45 for 271 yards and three touchdowns, and he’s now avoided an interception in four of his last five games. However, the Cleveland defense gave up 477 yards of offense, including 386 yards through the air.

NFL odds in your sportsbook have the Steelers as a 10-point favorite in this contest, and they’ve won 12 straight against the Browns, and nine of their last 10 in Cleveland. Their first meeting ended in a 27-14 win for Pittsburgh at home, and both teams had four turnovers in a sloppy game. Roethlisberger lit up the Browns for 417 yards, and he’ll be looking to do the same against a terrible Cleveland defense. Quinn didn’t play in the first game, and he’ll be out to attack the Pittsburgh secondary, who misses their leader badly. They’ll put up some points against the Steelers, but their inability to stop anyone will lead them to another sportsbook loss.

NFL picks: Steelers -14

NBA and NHL finished, Lakers and Penguins won!!!
