Can South Carolina pull off a second consecutive upset of a top-10 ranked team when the Gamecocks face No. 9 Florida? Probably not, but oddsmakers are giving South Carolina more of a fighting chance this week. The Gamecocks faced then-No. 3 Georgia in Week 7, and were 21-point underdogs on […]
Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor needs four yards to reach 5,000 in his career. Against Illinois on Saturday he should get that, and much, much more. Illinois is ranked 107th out of 130 teams in rushing defense. The Fighting Illini are giving up an average 201.8 yards per game. Conversely, […]
In the first four games this season, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked unbeatable. In the last two, however, he has looked less like Superman, and more like Kent Clark. Now, Mahomes needs to channel his inner superhero if the Chiefs are going to break a two-game losing streak. The […]

Loose lips sink ships and, in the NFL, possibly careers. That’s what apparently happened to Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zach Brown after he blasted Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins. The veteran defensive player told reporters on Friday, two days before the Eagles met the Vikings, that Cousins wasn’t a very good quarterback. […]
It was definitely not a good week to bet on an NFL favorite against the spread. Of the 13 games in Week 6, only four of the nine NFL favorites covered against the spread. Of those nine, seven of them lost outright. Both Los Angeles teams, Atlanta, Dallas, Jacksonville, Cleveland, […]
Georgia and Florida fell in Week 8 of the AP Top-25 College Football Poll, while LSU made a big jump. Georgia and Florida both posted losses to fall down in the standings, while Clemson slipped despite a convincing win, and Ohio State dropped despite having a bye. LSU entered Week […]
It appears “Duffle Bag Boy” has struck again, and it was with one of his favorites, Rutgers, according to the Action Network. The anonymous gambler earned his nickname by carrying around a duffle bag full of cash to make bets and collect winnings. Since he’s from New Jersey, Duffle Bag […]
When the flag goes up at Talladega on Sunday, Kevin Harvick will officially break Dale Earnhardt’s record for most NASCAR starts. Harvick has been tied with the iconic driver at 676 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races. It’s ironic that Harvick replaced Earnhardt after the 2001 crash that ended Earnhardt’s […]
The San Francisco 49ers are the surprise undefeated team in the NFL, and they’re hoping to shock the Los Angeles Rams. The two NFC West rivals face each other Sunday. The 49ers are trying to go to 5-0, while the Rams want to break a two-game losing streak. The only […]
The Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, and Washington Redskins are three road teams in Week 7 that are favored against their opponents. Seattle is at Cleveland, and laying 1.5 points. Atlanta travels to Arizona, and is giving away 2.5 points. Washington will be at Miami in the battle of the winless […]
Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, and Akron are all college football teams that bettors might want to consider when thinking about the spread. Not because they are so good at covering it, but because they come up short. All three teams are 0-5 this year against the spread, and their futility might […]
Washington and Miami are playing the Winless Bowl on Sunday. I’m avoiding picking a winner, and instead, I’m going with the under with my One Bet, $100 pick. The over/under line is 41, and I am betting on both teams to keep the score low. There are a couple of […]
Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa has been the favorite, but there might be some Heisman Trophy longshots to consider. Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, and Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor could all pull off the upset. One player that gamblers could have gotten insane odds on was LSU […]
The Oklahoma-Texas game is one of the biggest rivalries in college football, and the subject of my “One Bet, $100†pick for this week. Texas is an 11-point underdog, and I believe they will cover that number. Last week’s “One Bet, $100” was another loss. I picked SMU, who was […]
After missing the Monster Energy Cup Series Playoff for the first time in his career, there were whispers that Jimmie Johnson might be considering retirement. The seven-time Cup champion is 44, and watched as 39-year-old Paul Menard announced he was retiring at the end of the 2019 season. Johnson hasn’t […]
Oh Alabama and Clemson, we’ve missed you so. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 teams had last Saturday off, but return to the gridiron this Saturday. As usual the Crimson Tide and the Tigers are both double-digit favorites. Clemson is a 27-point pick over Florida State at home. Alabama […]
No NFL team has been able to beat the undefeated Patriots this season. Can a short week be the factor that upends the Super Bowl favorite? Oddsmakers don’t believe so. They have made New England a 16.5-point favorite against the New York Giants. It is the fourth time in six […]
The amount of Pac-12 quarterback injuries is alarming, as several of the conference’s signal callers have gone down this season. There are 12 universities in the Pac-12, and five team’s starters have missed at least one game. The most serious are USC’s J.T. Daniel, and Cal’s Chase Garbers. Daniels tore […]
