December is the best month to create “middles” when betting NFL games. This article explains why the final four weeks of the regular season presents ideal opportunities for wagers that, essentially, “can’t lose.” Last week, the Chicago Bears opened as -2.5 favorites versus the Detroit Lions. By kickoff, the line […]
ESPN reported that Josh Shaw bet against his own team as part of a three-team parlay, one of the wagers that led the NFL to suspend the defensive back through at least the 2020 season. Sources told ESPN that Shaw made a three-team parlay at a Caesars sportsbook in Las […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) named Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, replacing Nick Foles, who was benched in the middle of the last game. This benching might mark the beginning of the end of the Foles era with the Jags, while also marking the […]
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 […]
If you’re fortunate enough to advance to your fantasy football playoffs, but have banged-up players heading into NFL Week 14, then consider Alexander Mattison (Minnesota Vikings), James Washington (Pittsburgh Steelers), Allen Lazard (Green Bay Packers), or Ryan Tannenhill (Tennessee Titans) as a potential waiver wire pickups. Dalvin Cook, Minnesota’s stud […]
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 […]
A Baltimore win combined with a disappointing performance by the New England Patriots has made the Ravens the consensus Super Bowl betting favorites at sportsbooks across the country. The Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17 on a last-second field goal by Justin Tucker, while the Patriots offense struggled yet […]
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 […]
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a potential preview of the 2020 Super Bowl, but the Miami Dolphins stole the show in Week 13 by scoring a touchdown on fake field goal utilizing one of the most creative trick plays in the NFL in a very long […]
The LOLJets are back. The New York Jets (4-8) won three games in a row, but took two steps back after losing to the 0-11 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The 22-6 loss to the Bengals (1-11) marked the second time this season that the Jets lost to a winless team. […]
NFL teams with a cat mascot are 0-12 since a stray black cat ran onto the field during a Monday Night Football telecast between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants in early November. The MNF cat jinxed cat teams, along with the Giants and Cowboys. This feline nugget of […]
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 […]
We’re doing the dirty work of crunching through data, and deep into the 2019 NFL season, we’ve found two betting angles that continue to produce a profit. Will our good fortune continue? Last week, we data-mined two betting angles that produced a profit. This week, we see no reason to […]
The NFL indefinitely suspended Arizona Cardinals cornerback Josh Shaw for betting on multiple NFL games. At a minimum, Shaw’s suspension will last through the end of the 2020 season. Shaw is currently on injured reserve, and has not played in the 2019 season. As it stands, Shaw won’t be eligible […]
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.

Rivalry week continues in college football with Georgia at Georgia Tech, UNLV at Nevada, Arizona at Arizona State, Oregon State at Oregon, and Louisiana-Monroe at Louisiana-Lafayette.
