American football: NFL, NCAAF, CFL and Arena Football
This week we have a fair share of MACtion, including what might be the best MAC game of the year, two Big Ten teams looking to make a statement and an SEC team hopeful to survive a home game against Tulsa. Here are college football’s biggest spread movements for Week 8: Buffalo at Toledo, Noon […] More
Don’t look now, but the NFL looks to have officially righted itself in Week 6. Teams everyone expected to be good when the year began that stumbled in September have pulled out of it. Other squads that looked like they could be in for promising, and maybe coach-saving seasons, have fallen back to earth. We […] More
A smart bettor knows to monitor line movements as the week goes along. Often when the bet is made is nearly as important as whom the bet is on. Clearly, we haven’t reached a point where one week can no longer sway bettors one way or another. Here are Week 7’s biggest spread moves and […] More
It was due to happen. After barely missing hitting a college football parlay in each of the past few weeks, my picks blew up in my face last week. Like a giant asteroid crashing down to the Earth, my plays left a massive crater and wiped out anyone who followed along. I went 0-3 against […] More
Another strong week for the college football underdog picks, with the dogs going 4-1 against the spread — with Rutgers missing by only 1.5 points — and a couple of straight-up wins as well. That’s a big step forward, but there’s still plenty of work to be done to get back to the .500 point […] More
To be a favorite in college football is a fleeting thing, unless of course you reside in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the Crimson Tide never seem to slip.

Who is overrated in the NFL? Who is underrated? Who is actually a reasonable contender and who is nothing more than a fake and a phony? It looks like the Los Angeles Rams are the team to beat in the NFC while the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are the best in the […] More
As the NFL season moves into Week 7, teams try to stay in the playoff picture and, in some cases, set themselves up for division races and home field in the playoffs. Let’s take a look at the best games on the board to play our weekly parlay. Here is our NFL Week 7 Parlay: […] More
The first six weeks of the NFL season have helped provide some insight in to what we can expect from the NFL’s 32 teams this season. While the Kansas City Chiefs have been absolutely dominant against the spread, the Houston Texans have been the league’s biggest disappointment from a sports betting perspective. It’s no surprise […] More
Fantasy football is a full-time job. The best owners look to fine-tune their rosters every day, but waiver day is the most important. Those of you in deeper leagues looking for an edge should consider the following players, who are available in more than 80 percent of Yahoo leagues. Without further ado, here are the […] More
If you were wondering when the AFC would right itself, mark down Sunday, Oct. 14 (aka Week 6 of the NFL season) as that day. The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) and New England Patriots (4-2) emerged as the class of the conference after early stumbles in September. Still, as impressive as their wins were, neither could […] More
Last week was a dangerous one for ranked teams. Four teams ranked in the AP Top Ten lost and saw their hopes at a berth in the College Football Playoff take a major blow, while three others narrowly escaped with one-score victories. It was one of those weeks that reminds you anything can happen in […] More
