What’s Up With the Undefeated Minnesota Golden Gophers?
The University of Minnesota football team is the Rodney Dangerfield of Division 1 football. The Golden Gophers are ranked #13, making them the lowest ranked undefeated team in football. As such, Minnesota is getting very little respect. The question is — do they deserve any? That question will be answered […]

The Rice Owls (0-9) lost 20-7 to the Marshall Thundering Herd (6-3) to stay winless and remain in last place in the West Division of Conference USA. With the loss, Rice continued their leading bid as the worst team in college football. Dating back to 2017, Rice is 3-31 with […]
One Bet, $100: Packers Will Pass By Struggling Chargers
The Packers-Chargers game is a study in two teams going in different directions. That is why with my One Bet, $100 I will be taking Green Bay and giving away 3.5 points. Last week I took the under in the Denver-Indianapolis game and covered easily. This week I’m equally confident […]
#8 Georgia vs. #6 Florida Will Be Fought at the Line of Scrimmage
A month ago, Florida head coach Dan Mullen might not have had as much confidence in his offensive line as he does entering Saturday’s game against Georgia. The Gators skipper criticized his front five loudly, and often, earlier this season. Even though the team was 5-0 through October, the head […]
Mountain West After Dark: Fresno State Bulldogs at Hawaii Rainbow Warriors
The Fresno State Bulldogs (3-4) fly down to Honolulu to battle the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (5-2) in a Mountain West After Dark matchup, and the last scheduled game on this Saturday’s college football slate. This week’s version of the Mountain West After Dark with Fresno State and Hawaii is also […]

Five NFL DFS Value Plays Under $5,000 This Week
In a week where we see Christian McCaffrey priced up to $10,000 and Dalvin Cook at $9,500 on DraftKings, we definitely need to find some sub-$5,000 DFS value plays to fill out a competitive roster. Fortunately, there are opportunities to get solid players at cheap salaries at most positions. Here’s […]
One Bet, $100: One Sided Kansas State-Kansas Rivalry Should Continue
Kansas State-Kansas has been a one-sided rivalry for a decade, and should continue that trend on Saturday. That’s why I’m selecting Kansas State with this week’s One Bet, $100, and giving away six points. Last week was a disaster, and taught me once again that Wisconsin is not my friend. […]
College Football DFS: UCF’s Dillon Gabriel Looks to Shine
The Saturday afternoon college football DFS slate is lacking the firepower we’re used to seeing. There is no Oklahoma or LSU on the schedule. There are also no powerhouse appearances from schools like Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State. The lower salaries on the slate make more lineup concoctions possible, with […]
Thursday Night Showdown: Could it be a Monster Game for George Kittle?
Thursday’s night game may be a spooky one for the Arizona Cardinals as the San Francisco 49ers, their ferocious defense, and big tight end George Kittle look to scare up some big points. The 49ers are looking better and better as the season progresses, and are 7-point favorites tonight. This […]

Can Ohio State Defensive End Chase Young Sack Heisman From QBs?
The buzz for Ohio State defensive end Chase Young to win the Heisman Trophy was palpable during the Buckeyes demolition of Wisconsin last Saturday. Young was a one-man wrecking crew of the Badgers offense. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound junior recorded four sacks, a school record, that added to his NCAA leading […]
Cincinnati Bengals Bench QB Andy Dalton, 0-8 Bungles Getting Desperate
In a futile effort to jumpstart a winless Cincinnati Bengals team that began the season 0-8, head coach Zac Taylor benched starting quarterback Andy Dalton in favor of rookie backup Ryan Finley. Finley, a rookie out of North Carolina State who has never taken a snap in an NFL game, […]
San Francisco-Arizona Game Battle of Top Draft Picks
It is hard to believe Thursday night’s San Francisco-Arizona game is the first chance for the 49ers to beat the Cardinals since Week 17 of the 2014 season. San Francisco, who is undefeated, is a heavy favorite to down their NFC West rivals. The game will feature No. 1 draft […]

Ryan Tannehill (Tennessee Titans), Danny Amendola (Detroit Lions), and Chris Conley (Jacksonville Jaguars) could be valuable waiver wire pickups to strengthen your NFL fantasy football team in Week 9.
