Giants Face Redskins In Battle of NFC East Bottom Feeders
It wasn’t that long ago that a Giants vs. Redskins game would be one of the marquee matchups of the NFL season. Now it is anything but ‘must see TV’ as these two 3-11 teams are well off even the miserable pace in the NFC East. Even though a pair of 7-7 teams are battling […]
Cincinnati Bengals Head To Miami Looking For First Road Win
The Cincinnati Bengals might not be the worst team in the NFL–that’s arguably the Detroit Lions–but they’ve got the worst record in the league at 1-13. They also have the dubious distinction of being the only team in the NFL without at least one road win. They have a solid chance of getting rid of […]
Browns Nightmare Season Continues With Visit From Ravens
Even though it was just a few months ago it now seems almost unfathomable that the Cleveland Browns were considered a serious Super Bowl contender before the season began. If nothing else, the Browns serve as a cautionary tale against betting a team based on little more than potential and hype. Cleveland was embarrassed on […]
Utah State Faces Kent State In Friday Night Frisco Bowl
First things first–the Frisco Bowl is not played in San Francisco even though the name could lead you to that conclusion. Instead, it takes place in Frisco, Texas which is a booming suburb in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro Area. Frisco was the fastest growing city in the United States in 2017 and is essentially a […]
College Football Bowl Season Begins In The Bahamas
The college football bowl season officially gets underway at 2:00 PM Eastern Time in a very unlikely location–Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamas Bowl–known ‘officially’ as the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl–will feature the Charlotte 49ers who finished fourth in Conference USA East against the fourth place team from the Mid American Conference East, […]
Seahawks Continue Surge Toward NFC West Title Hosting Cardinals
You can thank the Atlanta Falcons for making the stretch run in the NFC West extremely interesting. What appeared to be a foregone conclusion a month ago is now anything but as the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are tied atop the divisional standings. Making things all the more interesting–the Seahawks hold the tiebreaker […]
Niners Need To Bounce Back Against Visiting Rams
The San Francisco 49ers were in complete control of the NFC West heading into Week 15 action. They had just defeated the New Orleans Saints and a game against the visiting–and often bumbling–Atlanta Falcons was viewed as almost an afterthought. Of course, you don’t need to be a NFL handicapping expert to know that’s a […]
Houston Hits The Road To Take On Red Hot Bucs In Tampa
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing their best football of the season just when it matters the least. They’ve won four straight games going 3-0-1 against the spread. They’ve apparently responded to a complete lack of pressure with the playoffs completely out of reach. They’ll put their winning streak on the line this Saturday afternoon […]
Bills Try To Escape Brutal Legacy of Defeat at Gillette Stadium
Big game for both teams as the Buffalo Bills head to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots in the middle game on a three game Saturday NFL slate. The Bills are going to the playoffs regardless of what they do in the final two games of the season. They’ve got a glossy […]
Blazers Look for Momentum Against Suns
The Portland Trailblazers have gotten off to a tough start this season after a very impressive performance a year ago. They’re currently in 12th place in the Western Conference but they’ve at least shown some improved form in the past couple of weeks and have pulled within 1.5 games of the Oklahoma City Thunder and […]
Colts Try To Keep Playoff Hopes Alive On The Road Against Saints
The Indianapolis Colts overcame a rough start in 2018 to come back and make the playoffs. They’re in a tough spot if they’re hoping to reprise this achievement. After starting the season 5-2 SU the Colts have been ravaged by injuries and have won only 1 of their last 6 games. They’ve covered only 2 […]
Improving Broncos Test Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium
The Denver Broncos are starting to pull it together. They’ve been one of the best pointspread performers in the league this year going 8-5 ATS and have been particularly good as an underdog covering 7 of their 10 spots in that role. They’ll face a tough test on Sunday as they head to Kansas City […]
AFC South Supremacy On The Line As Titans Take On Texans
The Tennessee Titans have found new life since the mid season quarterback change from underachieving and erratic Marcus Mariota to seasoned veteran Ryan Tannehill. The Titans have now won four straight and 6 of their last 7 going 5-1-1 against the spread in the process. The improbable turnaround of a team that was 2-4 in […]
Philadelphia Eagles Look To Keep Pace In NFC East Against Redskins
Man, how horrible is the NFC East this year? The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are ‘battling’ for the divisional crown yet both teams enter play on Sunday with a losing record both at 6-7. Dallas has lost 3 straight, 4 of their last 5 and 7 of 10. The Eagles are coming off a […]
Seahawks Have Eyes On NFC West Lead As They Face Panthers In Carolina
The San Francisco 49ers came roaring out of the gate in the NFC West and have been atop the division all season long. They’re still there with a glossy 11-2 record but now they’ve got some company. The Seattle Seahawks are one game behind at 10-3. Now the bad news–the Seahawks are coming off what […]
Chicago Bears Head To Green Bay Looking For Fourth Straight Win
The Chicago Bears have been struggling to find traction all season long but finally have shown signs of life. They’ve won three straight games SU and four of their last five though they still have the NFL’s worst record against the spread at 4-9 ATS. The Bears have failed to cover 6 of their last […]
Army and Navy Play In 120th Rivalry Game
Americans have a sick obsession with war and violence and there is no better metaphor for it than the significance afforded the Army/Navy football game. Unfortunately, once you strip away all of the phony patriotism and nationalistic propaganda you’re left with a college football game and a mediocre one at that. The Army Black Knights–who […]
Tampa Bay In Rare Role As Road Favorite Against Lions In Detroit
It might not be appropriate to call the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘red hot’ but they have won three straight and four of their last five. They’ll try to make it four straight and five of six as they head to Detroit to take on the Lions. Of note in this game the Bucs are in […]
Baltimore Ravens Looking For Tenth Straight Win Against NY Jets
Thursday night football features a matchup between the 5-8 New York Jets and the smoking hot Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens enter this matchup at 11-2 and looking for their 10th straight victory. The Ravens won and (barely) covered at Buffalo this past weekend taking a 24-17 victory as a -6.5 point road favorite. The Ravens […]
Pats Head To Cincinnati Hoping To Avoid Three Game Losing Streak
The New England Patriots have lost two straight games and there’s no doubt that Bill Belichick is in a very foul mood. Were that not enough, he’s got to deal with the controversial way Sunday’s game against Kansas City ended with a blown pass interference call that likely cost the Patriots the game and saw […]
