American football: NFL, NCAAF, CFL and Arena Football
Finally, a strong week that got the underdog picks back on track, with three outright winners. Unfortunately, the other two picks didn’t even cover the spread, and we remain underwater for the season. But there’s plenty of time, and while some picks haven’t quite hit, the picks have been on the money as far as […] More
I was dead right with the first leg of my college football parlay last week. Utah State had no problem dispatching BYU, pummeling the Cougars 45-20 on Friday night as a short underdog. However, the second leg of my parlay blew up in my face. The Hokies were a touchdown underdog on the college football […] More
It was another bad week to bet on the top teams in college football, as the top five in last week’s GMS NCAA Power Rankings — and in most major polls — went 1-5 against the spread. Only LSU, a 27-19 victim at Florida as a 2.5-point favorite, lost its game straight-up, but Alabama was […] More
There have been plenty of surprises throughout the first five weeks of the NFL season. After all, nobody would have predicted before the start of the year that the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears would lead their respective divisions outright, while the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons would sit in their division basements through five […] 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
After a Week 4 of the NFL season that offered just one, albeit all-time, Bad Beat, Week 5 served up almost too many to choose from. Whittling the absolute mess of betting slip carnage that happened between 1 p.m and midnight EST Sunday was quite the feat, but it’s what I get paid for. It […] More

The Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks will clash in London — we’ll go over the line for that matchup as well as every other contest for NFL Week 6: Related: NFL Betting Guide Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Opening Odds: Eagles -2.5 How good […] More
This week will be about thinning out teams with legitimate national championship aspirations from those in the next tier. There are multiple clashes between premier teams with zero or one losses in Week 7, and that should make this one of the best college football betting weeks of the year. Here are the College Football Week 7 […] More
We have reached the quarter point of the NFL season. Every team, with the exception of the Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins, has played at least four games — that’s a full 25 percent of the schedule. With so much of the season already wrapped, it’s a good time to reshuffle the deck and look […] More
We’re off trend after Week 4 of the NFL season. After underdogs went 19-13 over Weeks 2 and 3, they were 7-8 last week. Does this mean the oddsmakers are finally figuring out the weird 2018 NFL season? Or will Week 4 be an outlier, even though underdogs still nearly went .500? More research is […] 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. After four games, we’re starting to learn who most of these teams are. But there are still some disagreements, as the early line movements show. Here […] More
It’s not too hard to find a great deal of value in underexposed markets. Our FCS picks are crushing it in college football betting. Last week, our picks went 3-0 and they are now a sterling 11-3-1 ATS on the season. Our Week 5 plays were the most convincing yet with Elon easily beating New […] More
