Sports Betting – Texas Teams Roundup

While most people are focused on the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl odds while the NFL betting season is winding down, here’s an update of what three other Texas teams are up to:

Dallas Mavericks (25-13, 1^st in Southwest)

It was a tough week for the Dallas Mavericks as they started off well, winning in San Antonio, but then lost at home to Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers.

The Mavericks continue to be very much a Jekyll and Hyde. At times, they look like they could be a decent playoff contender and then at other times, they can’t figure out how to compete against the best in the West.

At this point, the Mavericks can’t be trusted in the West playoff race. They look like they might be ripe for the picking once again in the first round of the playoffs.

Dallas Stars (19-16-11, 4^th in Pacific)

While the Mavericks appear to be fading, so are the Dallas Stars. They have fallen to 11^th in the Western Conference and those who bet on the Stars to make the playoffs at their local sportsbook (sportsbetting.com sportsbook reviews) are really regretting those bets.

If there is one bright spot, it’s that the Stars are consistent on the road. Unfortunately, it’s not the good type of consistent.

The Stars are simply brutal on the road nowadays and there doesn’t appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The Stars have just one road win in their last 12 tries, and they have more road games upcoming.

On the year, they are 12-5-5 at home but are just 7-11-6 on the road. If they want any hope of making the playoffs, they’ll have to turn this around in a hurry.

Rangers News After the Jump

Texas Rangers (Offseason)

The Seattle Mariners have made a couple of big moves this offseason, which has people making their baseball picks placing them ahead of the Texas Rangers in American League West projections.

But the Rangers have responded.

This week, the Rangers signed designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero to a one-year, $5.5 million contract, which should boost the Rangers batting lineup. The Rangers also signed shortstop Khalil Greene to a one-year deal, which has plenty of potential.
