Chargers Host Vikings Hoping To Build Momentum
The Los Angeles Chargers took care of business this week winning and covering with ease as -3 point road favorites at Jacksonville. Now they’ll look to build some momentum as they host the Minnesota Vikings at Dignity Health Sports Park. Minnesota is coming off a 20-7 win at home against the Detroit Lions in which […]
West Ham United and Arsenal Do Battle In Monday English Premier League Play
Ironically, the English version of ‘Monday Night Football’ is only marginally better than the US version this week. At least it is a London derby match which should bring about a bit more competitive fire but the matchup itself is extremely uninspiring. 16th place West Ham United hosts 11th place Arsenal at London Stadium and […]
Eagles Host Giants in a Battle of Slumping Teams
Not exactly ‘must see TV’ on Monday Night Football as the bumbling New York Giants travel to Philadelphia to take on the slumping Eagles. As sad as this matchup is it actually has playoff implications. You can thank the decrepit state of the NFC East for that. The Eagles are currently in second place in […]
NFC Elite Go Head To Head As Niners Face Saints
These might be the two best teams in the NFC if not the entire NFL. Both are 10-2 SU and it should be among the best matchups on Sunday’s card as the San Francisco 49ers travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints have been particularly impressive this […]
LA Chargers Look To End Losing Streak Against Jacksonville
There’s been any number of disappointing teams in the NFL this season but none more so than the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers went 12-4 last season and came into the 2019 campaign with high expectations. They’ve fallen profoundly short of them. The Chargers enter this Sunday afternoon contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars at 4-8 […]
New York Jets In ‘Revenge Mode’ As They Host Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are still one of the most talent deprived teams in the NFL but they’ve been playing hard for first year head coach Brian Flores. That Flores has been able to win 3 games including 3 of their last 5 and cover 6 of their last 8 with this XFL level roster is […]
Reeling Raiders Return Home To Take On Titans
The Oakland Raiders were in the midst of a surprisingly good season but have hit a brick wall in recent weeks. Following three straight home wins over the Lions, Chargers and Bengals hopes were high as they head out on the road for a pair of games. Reality quickly set in, however, as Oakland/Vegas was […]
Boise State Hosts Hawaii in Mountain West Conference Championship
The Mountain West Conference Championship will be on the line as the Boise State Broncos will take on the Hawaii Rainbows on the school’s iconic blue ‘Smurf Turf’. The Broncos are 11-1 SU this year and have been unfairly downgraded in all of the national polls for their 10/19 loss at BYU. The Boise/BYU rivalry […]
Cincinnati Challenges Memphis in AAC Championship Game
The Liberty Bowl Stadium will be the site of the 2019 AAC Championship game and the matchup looks to be extremely competitive. Memphis enters the game at 11-1 SU/8-4 ATS while Cincinnati is 10-2 SU/7-5 ATS. These teams met previously on the Friday after Thanksgiving and that could present some unique handicapping elements to this […]
Virginia Faces A Tough Task Against Clemson In ACC Championship Game
The good news for the University of Virginia: they’ve generally had a decent season and they’re in the ACC Championship game. The bad news: they’ve got to face the defending National Champion Clemson Tigers who have been running roughshod over their opponents since a narrow escape against North Carolina. The pointspread on the game definitely […]
Louisiana-Lafayette Challenges Appalachian State in Sun Belt Championship Game
Two teams that were among the top pointspread teams in the country this year will go at it in Boone, NC on Saturday as Appalachian State hosts UL-Lafayette. The Cajuns are 10-2 SU/8-3 ATS on the season while the Mountaineers are 11-1 SU/8-4 ATS. Both teams will almost certainly get a bowl invite but only […]
Carolina Panthers To Face Falcons In First Game of ‘Post Rivera’ Era
The biggest story in the NFL this week has been Carolina Panthers’ owner David Tepper firing head coach Ron Rivera. Tepper had put everyone involved with the franchise on notice just two weeks earlier when he emphatically informed the media that long term mediocrity would not be tolerated under his watch. That came after an […]
Surging Steelers Head To The Desert To Face Upstart Cardinals
If there were ever any doubts about Mike Tomlin’s ability to coach NFL football this season should end them emphatically. Tomlin has taken a team in a horrific situation losing their franchise quarterback and found ways to win games. Pittsburgh opened the season 0-3 and losing 4 of their first five games. The future looked […]
Surging Spurs Face Slumping Manchester United at Old Trafford
Plenty of intriguing subplots as Tottenham Hotspur heads to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in English Premier League action. The most compelling of these is likely the return of Jose Mourinho to Manchester United’s home pitch nearly a year since he was fired as the team’s manager. Mourinho’s appointment has breathed new life into […]
Struggling Dallas Cowboys Visit Chicago Hoping To Salvage Season
Things aren’t going well for the Dallas Cowboys. The 2019 season started with a lot of promise as they opened the campaign 3-0 but then dropped three straight to fall to 3-3. They’ve since struggled to regain any type of momentum but instead have been unable to get any traction at all. They’ve now lost […]
NFL Football Betting: Buffalo Bills at Dallas Cowboys
Interesting matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills. The Cowboys are a Thanksgiving Day NFL fixture while the Bills have not played on ‘Turkey Day’ since 1994. Cowboys coming off an ugly 13-9 loss to the New England Patriots that really set off team owner Jerry Jones. Jones all but said that head coach […]
NHL Hockey Betting: New Jersey Devils at Montreal Canadiens
Only one game on the NHL board for (US) Thanksgiving as the New Jersey Devils head to Centre Bell to take on the Montreal Canadiens. The home team is desperately looking for something to be thankful for–they’re mired in a five game losing streak and are coming off one of their most embarrassing losses in […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Edmonton Oilers at Colorado Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche have been decimated by injuries lately which has largely undone what was a torrid start to the season. To their credit, they’ve continued to scrap but going 5-5-0 in their last 10 games has not allowed them to do much more than just ‘tread water’ and try to maintain some positioning in […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Vegas Golden Knights at Nashville Predators
Two of the most talented yet enigmatic teams in the Western Conference will play at Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday night as the Nashville Predators host the Vegas Golden Knights. Before the season, both teams were expected to compete for the Western Conference title but have underachieved mightily. The Predators are now in a 5th place […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings
Original Six NHL action on Wednesday night as the (apparently) resurgent Toronto Maple Leafs try to run their winning streak to three games under new head coach Sheldon Keefe as they make the short trip to Detroit to face the hapless Red Wings. It’s still hard to get used to referring to the Wings as […]
