Phil Mickelson had six months on the PGA Tour last season that he would like to forget, but after shooting an opening round 65 at the Shriners in Las Vegas last Thursday, he’s more optimistic about his game. He told reporters after his opening round that he expects his results […]
Georgia and Ohio State share No. 3 in Week 7 of the AP Top-25 college football poll. It is the first time two teams have been tied in the top 3 since Sept. 20, 2015, when TCU and Mississippi shared third. Both the Bulldogs and the Buckeyes finished with 1,393 […]
Betting big college football spreads takes a lot of nerve, but those gamblers that did it in Week 6 were rewarded. Of the nine teams in the AP Top-25 College Football Poll that were laying 20 or more points, six of them covered. Only No. 6 Oklahoma, and No. 13 […]
The New England Patriots, and gamblers everywhere, took advantage of a soft matchup against another winless team. This time, it was the Washington Redskins. The Patriots defeated the now 0-5 Redskins, 33-7 on Sunday. The New England Patriots were a 16.5-point favorite, and easily covered. It was the second of […]
Baltimore-Pittsburgh is one of the NFL’s stronger rival games, but when the two teams face each other on Sunday, it will be with different quarterbacks than usual. The Ravens are favored by 3.5 points, and the over/under is set at 44 points. Baltimore’s new quarterback was determined last year. Lamar […]
There are now five NFL teams – the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, and Washington Redskins – that have the possibility of having an 0-16 season. All but Miami are playing this week. The Dolphins are a +250 to have an 0-16 season, according to Sportsbettingdime.com. […]
The Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders are flying across the pond for their game, and with my One Bet, $100, I like the under in this contest. It opened at 41.5 points and dropped to 40.5 at most sportsbooks. In Las Vegas, Station Casinos still have it at 41. There […]
Chase Elliott knows this is the perfect time of year to be on a hot streak. The 23-year-old won last week at the Roval 400, and feels confident he can win again at the Drydene 400 at Dover on Sunday. Elliott is the 7/1 pick to win the Drydene 400 […]
With the undefeated streak over, the pressure is off, and I am going to go with SMU over Tulsa for this week’s One Bet, $100 selection. I’m still scratching my head, though, over how I could have been so wrong on Nevada. It was one of those games that seemed […]
Florida is set to face their first real test this season when they host Auburn Saturday at the Swamp. The Gators and Tigers sport identical 5-0 records, but look closer at who those victories were against. Florida have defeated unranked Miami, Tennessee-Martin, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Towson State. They won the […]
Of the three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, San Francisco is the biggest surprise. New England and Kansas City are both Super Bowl favorites, but the 49ers weren’t even considered by some to be a playoff team. The over/under on their regular season victories was 8.5, a lofty number […]
NASCAR officials said they will be talking to Bubba Wallace after an incident he had with fellow driver Alex Bowman. The trouble began after the first lap at the Rovel 400, when Bowman made contact with Wallace. Bowman accepted responsibility for the contact, but Wallace was hot. Bowman said Wallace […]
The Los Angeles Rams rushing game was non-existent against Tampa Bay last Sunday, and they paid for it. The Buccaneers dealt LA its first defeat of the season. Now on a short week, coach Sean McVay and his staff have to fix the Rams rushing game before Thursday’s game with […]
No one in college football is envious of No. 25 Michigan State right now. The Spartans are getting ready to embark on a stretch of their schedule that would test the nerves, and blood pressure, of any college coach. In the next four of five games, Michigan State’s Big Ten […]
There are currently four college teams that are undefeated against the spread after five weeks of play. Auburn, Oklahoma State, Southern Methodist, and Louisiana-Lafayette are all perfect against the spread, though only Auburn and Southern Methodist haven’t lost a game this season. All four teams are in different conferences. Auburn […]
As if the Denver Broncos’ season couldn’t get much worse, they have now lost linebacker Bradley Chubb for the season. The second-year player, who was taken fifth in the 2018 draft, suffered a partial tear in his ACL and is done for the year. Broncos coach Vic Fangio confirmed the […]
There were three helmet-to-helmet hits on NFL players in Sunday’s games, and each came with different consequences for the offender. One player was penalized, another penalized and ejected, and the third received no punishment at all. The differing penalties have people claiming the league’s policy is flawed, and may also […]
It was a horrible day for bettors who backed the favorites in Week 4, and watched as NFL underdogs won 10 of the 14 games against the spread on Thursday and Sunday. The underdogs also won eight of those 10 games straight up. Three teams hurt bettors the most. New […]
One of the best bets is usually on bounce-back games. A contest where a team that was favored or expected to win, lost, and then takes it out on its next opponent. Utah and Michigan had a bounce-back game, and bettors benefitted from the routs. Another team that had a […]
After narrowly escaping an embarrassing upset, Clemson was chided by AP Top 25 voters on Sunday. The Tigers, who had been No. 1 since the preseason AP Top 25 College Football Poll in late August, dropped to No. 2. The new No. 1 is Alabama, who had been right behind […]
