Big Trouble on Tobacco Road
The best football in US college sports is played in the SEC and the best basketball is played in the ACC, right? More specifically, the best college hoops is played by the ACC teams in the state of North Carolina or so goes the conventional wisdom. And to be sure, the Duke Blue Devils are […]
Late Money Showing For Clemson as CFB National Championship Game Draws Near
There’s been plenty of storylines heading up to Monday Night’s College Football National Championship matchup between #1 ranked LSU and #3 ranked Clemson. One narrative has been the matchup between Heisman Trophy winner and potential #1 NFL draft pick Joe Burrow and his Clemson counterpart Trevor Lawrence. There’s been plenty of pointless stories about the […]
An Angry Clemson Team Is A Dangerous Adversary
We’ve talked at length over this weekend about the excellent value presented by the Clemson Tigers in Monday’s College Football National Championship game. Part of this is simple contrarian handicapping. When you see the ‘squares’ lining up on one side of a proposition with almost complete unanimity you can do pretty well for yourself just […]
Sportsbooks Win Big, Futures In Disarray After Baltimore Ravens Loss
Heading into their Saturday Divisional playoff game against the Tennessee Titans the Baltimore Ravens had never lost as a double digit favorite. They were the only team in the NFL that could make that claim. The Ravens had also won 12 straight games this season. But as we’re so often reminded, the NFL is a […]
Seahawks / Packers Preview: Who “Wins Ugly” on Sunday Night?
Green Bay Packers. Seattle Seahawks. The rivalry runs deeper than you think. From Brandon Bostick’s fumble in the 2014 NFC Championship Game to the Fail Mary in 2012, this specific rivalry runs thicker than most cross-divisional opponents in the NFL. After all the heartbreak that Packers fans have experienced playing Seattle at CenturyLink Field, can […]
Underdog Clemson Tigers Offer Great Value In National Championship Game
Monday Night will bring one of the marquee events of the sports betting calendar as the LSU Tigers take on the Clemson Tigers for the College Football National Championship. We’ve already discussed the onslaught of public money backing favored LSU and there are few better ideas in sports betting than to be a contrarian and […]
Sportsbooks Getting One Sided Action On LSU In National Championship Game
Although the Clemson Tigers have won two of the last three College Football National Championships they’ve received very little respect from the mainstream sports media this year. Now they’re getting even less respect from the mainstream betting public. Sportsbooks worldwide are reporting a lopsided amount of action on LSU. ‘One sided’ action is not uncommon […]
The King Reigns Over All-Star Voting
The second round of fan returns came in for 2020 All-Star Voting on Thursday along with a new frontrunner. Los Angeles Lakers’ Lebron James has taken over as the leading vote-getter (3,359,871 votes), passing previous leaders Luka Doncic of the Western Conference and Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Eastern Conference.

Sony Open: It’s Justin Thomas’ World, We’re Just Living In It
The first full-field PGA event of the year tees off Thursday in Honolulu, as the Sony Open in Hawaii will be played once again at the gorgeous Waialae Country Club. The course this weekend sets up as a par 70, will be putt on Bermuda greens, and measures just over 7,000 yards. Contrary to some […]

Houston, We Have A Problem
The Texans won this past Saturday dramatically, and now they get a matchup with the number 2 seeded Chiefs. Led by Patrick Mahomes and their incredible passing defense, the Chiefs cruised to a 12-4 record. They weren’t originally supposed to have a bye week coming into the playoffs, but they slide into the number two […]
Why Mike McCarthy Is A Sneaky Good Fit For Cowboys
Jerry Jones finally pulled the trigger this past weekend and relieved Jason Garrett of his head coaching duties in Dallas after 3 playoff appearances over 10 seasons. Jones has handpicked long time Packers head coach Mike McCarthy to be Garrett’s successor to begin the 2020 regular season. The former Green Bay head coach is most […]
The Bad Luck Saints
Saints fans watched as the Vikings team drove down the field with ease against a defense featuring All-Pro players such as Demario Davis and Cameron Jordan. The Vikings were led by Kirk Cousins all game long, but he thrived in overtime. Cousins’ clutch factor showed through as he threw for 74 yards while converting two […]
Betting Odds Suggest Tom Brady Isn’t Going Anywhere
The Tennessee Titans ‘upset win’ over the New England Patriots in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs is nowhere near as monumentally shocking as the mainstream sports media is suggesting. The Patriots have looked vulnerable since the midpoint of the season. They played a laughably weak schedule this year which along with a […]

What Will Fuller’s Absence Means For Wild Card Weekend
Wild Card Weekend is here! As we gear up to start the 2019-20 NFL Playoffs, we zoom in on the first matchup of the postseason. The Houston Texans host the Buffalo Bills in what looks to be an evenly matched game. The Texans are currently -2.5 favorites at home, which speaks a lot to what […]
Miami-OH, Louisiana-Lafayette Fill Monday Football Void In Alabama Bowl
There was a time when the college football bowl season culminated–and ended–on New Years’ Day. That is no longer the case. This year there are five post New Years Day bowl games not counting next Saturday’s FCS Championship Game in Frisco, Texas and the National Championship Game between Clemson and LSU on Monday, January 11.

Eric Bieniemy Now Favored To Be Carolina Panthers Next Head Coach
Ever since Ron Rivera was fired there has been plenty of speculation about who will be the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers. This has become even more interesting in the past 48 hours as most of the media analysis is suggesting one outcome while the betting odds market is pointing to something else. […]
Could Josh McDaniels’ Ties To Ohio Motivate Him To Become Browns Coach?
Josh McDaniels is in a very enviably position professionally. He’s already got a plum gig as the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots working under Bill Belichick. That pedigree alone is extremely marketable but he’s currently being courted by every NFL team with a current head coaching vacancy. He’ll be busy this weekend as […]
