Though the College Football Playoff Rankings don’t come out until Tuesday night, there are several conference championship games with CFP implications. The SEC, Pac-12, and Big 12 championships could determine which four teams are going into the CFP semifinals, starting on Dec. 28. One semifinal is the Peach Bowl from […]
Alabama coach Nick Saban found out how important a kicker is, while the other rivalry games were mostly blowouts for the favorites. A missed field goal by Alabama cost them a chance to play in the College Football Playoff, but other playoff contenders, LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson all won […]
Collectively, bettors won early with the Packers on Sunday, but then took a beating with the Bengals, Broncos, and Texans to give sportsbooks a winning Sunday. After a losing Thanksgiving, the house more than made up for it in NFL Week 13. Initially it appeared the momentum from Thursday’s three […]
It was a particularly gory Black Sunday, as five college coaches were fired, with others still waiting for the axe to fall. The quintet that were let go included Missouri’s Barry Odom, Matt Luke at Ole Miss, Boston College’s Steve Addazio, South Florida’s Charlie Strong, and University of San Antonio’s […]
At first look, Sunday’s matchup between the Raiders and the Chiefs would seem to be another easy blowout victory for Kansas City. Looks can be deceiving, however, which is why I’m going to defy all logic with this week’s One Bet, $100, and put my money on Oakland. Maybe I’m still […]
Sunday’s 49ers-Ravens clash is being billed as a possible Super Bowl matchup. For San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, and his teammates, however, it’s just another game on the way to the postseason. Even if they aren’t admitting it, the 49ers-Ravens game is the marquee contest of the week. San Francisco […]
A victory in the Alabama-Auburn game will not only provide Tigers coach Gus Malzahn a chance at a milestone, but more importantly, maybe an opportunity to silence those clamoring for his firing. Malzahn has been the Auburn coach since 2012, and has beaten Alabama twice in the annual Iron Bowl. […]
I despise rivalry games, and the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game is no different. Handicapping these contests always makes me queasy, but I’m going to take the Cowboys at home — and the 13 points — with my One Bet, $100. Last week, I had Tennessee and six points against Missouri, and […]
Ole Miss wide receiver Elijah Moore found himself in the doghouse after his dog pee celebration when scoring the potential tying touchdown against rival Mississippi State on Thursday. The sophomore caught a 2-yard TD pass with four seconds left to make the score 21-20 in the annual rivalry game called […]
After 18 years at Homestead-Miami Speedway, NASCAR championship weekend is moving to ISM Raceway near Phoenix in 2020. Some drivers would like to see it rotate to another racetrack the following year. Nascar officials won’t release the 2021 schedule until the spring. Odds to Win 2020 NASCAR Championship Driver                                   Odds […]
With five games remaining for most teams, the NFL win totals are starting to become clearer. Several teams have already reached the total that oddsmakers set before the start of the season. Others have a slim chance of getting there. The Los Angeles Rams were pegged to have 10.5 victories […]
Ohio State and LSU have once again traded places atop the College Football Playoff Rankings. In the fourth edition, released Tuesday night, the two undefeated teams flip flopped for the second time. Clemson, who is the only remaining team without a loss, was No. 3. Georgia has the last playoff […]
Of the three Thanksgiving games, the one that should be the most entertaining is Bill-Cowboys. I also think it is the one that has the most potential from a betting standpoint. So with this holiday special of One Bet, $100, I am taking Buffalo on the moneyline. The Bills, who […]
Detroit and Chicago’s already long-suffering seasons might be entering another chapter on Thanksgiving Day in the Lions-Bears game. Detroit is one loss away from being officially eliminated from the playoffs, while Chicago is also in danger of missing the postseason. Both teams have injuries that will affect them going into […]
Jon Rahm had a five-foot putt on Sunday for $5 million, but it was a clutch bunker shot that may have won him the DP World Tour Championship. The 25-year-old was tied for the lead with Tommy Fleetwood, and needed to get up and down from a greenside bunker to […]
After the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, there is new speculation that coach Jason Garrett could be fired. It’s the same rumor that’s been floating around for the past two years, but oddsmakers are starting to post odds on possible replacements. Dallas owner Jerry Jones […]
It was a push for the sportsbooks in NFL Week 12, as they won on Detroit, lost on Seattle, and watched Tampa Bay hit the over for the ninth straight week. William Hill reported that 81 percent of the tickets written were for Seattle, and 76 percent of the money […]
College Football Week 13 saw 18 teams, including LSU, Alabama, and Auburn score 50 or more points in their respective games, while Miami reached a new low. The over on Saturday was definitely a bettor’s best friend. Of the 12 games that offered an over/under, the over was 9-3, including […]
Diego Ortiz led Deontay Wilder through six rounds at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but it only took a split second in the seventh for him to lose the fight. A vicious right by Wilder at 2:51 of the seventh round knocked the Ortiz to the canvas, and […]
Let’s get this out of the way right now; neither Atlanta or Tampa Bay are making the playoffs. Both are 3-7 in the AFC South, and are tied for last place. There is a difference between the two teams, however. The Buccaneers are playing like they want a top pick […]
