Gamblers know their bets are always alive until the end, but two Week 6 games truly epitomized the mantra that it’s never over until it’s over. Cincinnati and Green Bay each had double-digit leads over their opponents, Indianapolis and Tampa Bay, only to lose after two impressive comebacks. The first […]
NFL Week 6 saw quarterbacks succeeding with both their arms and their legs, and an assistant coach who might think twice before chest-bumping with his much bigger player. The quarterbacks — Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Detroit’s Matthew Stafford — made plays that illustrated their specific skill sets. Jackson beat defenders […]
Alabama was a solid favorite over Georgia in Week 7 betting, even with Alabama head coach Nick Saban questionable after a positive COVID-19 test. The line fluctuated with news swirling in Tuscaloosa about whether Saban would be on the sidelines for the game between the No. 2 Crimson Tide and […]
Week 7 of college football produced some amazing highlights, including a 300-pound defensive tackle doing his best William “the Refrigerator†Perry impersonation. It was pretty appropriate since Clemson’s Nyles Pinckney did it at Perry’s alma mater. More conventional offensive players chipped in some highlights as well. BYU’s wide receiver Dax […]
Alabama hosts Georgia in the biggest game of College Football Week 7, and will have head coach Nick Saban on the sidelines. Saban tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, but has had three successive negative tests and was cleared to return for Saturday’s game. No. 2 Alabama hosts No. 3 […]
Tennessee hosting Kentucky might just be what the Volunteers need on Saturday after a demoralizing loss a week ago. The Volunteers got hammered last week by Georgia, 44-21, and the Wildcats are going to face an upset group of Tennessee football players. That, along with a couple of other factors […]
Handicapping a golf tournament is tough enough, but it’s made even more difficult with a new course like at this week’s CJ Cup at Shadow Creek Golf Club. The exclusive resort course in Las Vegas is subbing this year for the CJ Cup’s usual locale, Nine Bridges in JeJu Island, […]
Las Vegas hosts its second consecutive PGA Tour event this week as the CJ Cup at Shadow Creek Golf Club is set to start on Thursday. The tournament was moved from Nine Bridges Golf Club in JeJu Island, South Korea, for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dustin Johnson […]
Quarterback Dak Prescott is done for the year and oddmakers believe so too are the chances the Dallas Cowboys will win the Super Bowl. Several sportsbooks adjusted the lines for Dallas to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and they’re not optimistic about the Cowboys. Prescott suffered a compound fracture and […]
Defending National Champion LSU became the second team to fall out of the AP Top 25 Poll. The Tigers are the first defending champion to fall out of the AP Top 25 Poll since Auburn in 2011. They had been ranked in 43 straight polls, dating to Nov. 5, 2017, […]
Las Vegas residents have embraced their new silver-and-black home team, but gamblers? Not so much, especially in NFL Week 5 betting. The sportsbooks were the big winners on Sunday, after the Las Vegas Raiders upset the Super Bowl-favorite Kansas City Chiefs. William Hill reported 60% of the tickets on the […]
Arguably, the best highlight of Week 5 in the NFL wasn’t an impressive touchdown catch or a gravity-defying throw, but the simple act of a player trotting on the field. The Washington Football Team’s quarterback, Alex Smith, returned to the action for the first time since a horrific leg injury […]
One gambler learned a hard lesson when he plunked down $78,451 at FanDuel on a two-team parley in College Football Week 6 betting and both squads were upset. The first game was No. 4 Florida against No. 21 Texas A&M. The Gators were -230 on the moneyline, but got beaten […]
College Football Week 6 highlights included a television announcer going berserk, a high snap from a center, and a questionable call from the referees. Those, along with a missed field goal that cost a team the game, and a four-overtime contest that looked like it would never end, were some […]
All the talk has been how Chase Elliott is so dominant on road courses and will win the Roval 400, but Martin Truex Jr. should not be ignored. Yes, Elliott is the defending champion at the Roval 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and has won three straight road course events. […]
The last race in the NASCAR Cup Playoffs is Sunday at the Roval 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 12 remaining drivers in the Cup playoffs will be trimmed to eight after Sunday’s race on the 2.28-mile, 17-turn layout. Chase Elliott has dominated road courses and is the 7/2 favorite […]
At first glance the moneyline and point spread on the Carolina Atlanta game makes no sense at all. Atlanta is a 2.5-point favorite over the Panthers on Sunday, despite being winless. I am not sure if this is a sucker line or not, but I’ll bite. I have so much […]
In the SEC Game of the Week, No. 14 Tennessee will travel to Sanford Stadium to take on No. 3 Georgia. The Volunteers last defeated the Bulldogs on the road in 2016 when they were ranked No. 11 in the AP Top 25 Poll. This game will come down to […]
The week’s top college football game pits No. 1 Clemson, a school that’s comfortable in marquee contests, against No. 7 Miami, a school that used to be comfortable in those situations. Clemson has been one of the top-ranked teams over the past five years, losing just five games since 2015. […]
Two Week 5 NFL games have been rescheduled from Sunday to early next week because of COVID-19 concerns the league announced Thursday. The Denver Broncos at New England Patriots will now be played Monday, while the Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans will be played on Tuesday. The Patriots and Titans […]
