National Football League AFC South – Parity or Mediocrity?

The AFC South division of the NFL isn’t the worst division in football, but its not a real threat either. Despite two teams making the playoffs each of the last two seasons, the stigma remains. The Texans, Colts, Titans, and Jaguars aren’t considered to be Super Bowl contenders. Through the […]

Washington Redskins Fire Jay Gruden After 0-5 Start

You knew it was coming, but after five tumultuous seasons, the Washington Redskins finally put head coach Jay Gruden out of his misery and fired him after a 35-49-1 record. Jay Gruden got fired after the New England Patriots crushed Washington in Week 5. The team fell to 0-5, and […]

Big College Football Spreads Pay Off for Brave Bettors

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 […]

Penn State, Wisconsin Face Crucial Tests in Big Ten Showdowns

With conference favorite #3 Ohio State off this week, it’s time to see if Penn State is really going to challenge for the Big Ten East title. Penn State (5-0) travels to Iowa (4-1) this Saturday. The Hawkeyes are coming off a disappointing performance at Michigan, losing a snore-fest, 10-3. […]

Four Players to Target in Monday Night DFS Showdown

Monday Night Football in Week 5 features the Cleveland Browns visiting the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are favored by 3.5 in a game with an over/under of 47.5. It appears that Vegas is expecting this game to be above the average NFL game in points scored, so I’ll focus […]

Jett Duffey, Joe Burrows Shine in Week 6 of College Football DFS

Saturday was definitely a day for robust college football quarterback numbers, and you pretty much needed two in your lineups to finish deep in the money in DFS contests. Although Jalen Hurts had another big day for Oklahoma, the winning lineups mostly bypassed him for other gunslingers, such as the […]

#LOLJets Week 5: It’s Never Sunny After a 25-Point Beatdown in Philadelphia

The New York Jets (0-4) and frustrated RB Le’Veon Bell continued their winless streak with a 31-6 blowout loss against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-2). Another week, another ugly loss for the #LOLJets. Quarterback Sam Darnold, still recovering from mononucleosis, was itching to play after missing the last two games. Darnold […]

Baltimore-Pittsburgh Contest Features New Faces at Quarterback

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 […]

Five DFS Sleepers in the NFL This Week

It’d be nice to cram Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Lamar Jackson, Julio Jones, and DeAndre Hopkins into your DFS lineup, but that’s just not feasible with salary caps. (And everyone would just pick all of the best players, making most lineups very similar.) No, to play some of the studs, […]

One Bet: $100: Chicago Clamps Down on Raiders in London

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 […]
