Apparently someone has to win Thursday night’s game between the 0-3 Denver Broncos and 0-3 New York Jets, but considering the futility of both teams, a scoreless tie isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. The game is in East Rutherford, New Jersey where the Jets are favored by 1.5 […]

Waiver Wire TE Pickups: Dallas Goedert Fractures Ankle, Jimmy Graham Rising
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a huge bad beat when they lost tight end Dallas Goedert indefinitely with an ankle injury.

NFL Week 3 Highlights: Rookie Burrow Gets Tattooed, OBJ Plays Cornerback
The good news for Cincinnati’s rookie quarterback Joe Burrow is that he’s featured in this week’s NFL Week 3 highlights. The bad news — this is probably not the kind of highlight he was looking for. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft got up close and personal […]
College Football Betting Recap Week 4: Public Loses Big on SEC’s Alabama, LSU

One Bet, $100: Oklahoma Should Dominate Decimated Kansas State
The biggest question in the Kansas State vs. Oklahoma game is whether the Wildcats will have enough players to field a team. A full-strength Kansas State squad would have problems with No. 3 Oklahoma, so one that’s been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will definitely struggle in Norman, Oklahoma. […]

NFL Conspiracy Theory: SF 49ers Injured at MetLife Stadium, New ‘Sticky’ Turf

This Week’s DFS Value Plays (NFL): Josh Kelley, Curtis Samuel
We can roster the Jets’ QB Sam Darnold for $5,000 on DraftKings this week, but I’ll say no thanks to that. Instead – like we did last week – we’ll focus on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for our under $5K DFS value plays. Josh Kelley, Chargers RB […]
