American football: NFL, NCAAF, CFL and Arena Football
If there was any real drama surrounding Hue Jackson’s starting quarterback decision, that all ended early Monday morning. The Cleveland Browns will officially welcome No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. Mayfield took over for an injured and floundering Tyrod Taylor last Thursday night against […] More
I’m coming in hot for Week 4 of the NFL season after going 11-5 against the spread in Week 3. Could it be that I’m finally getting a handle on what’s already been one of the oddest NFL seasons ever? I’m not counting on it just yet. I opened the week 1-0 as the Los […] More
Week 5 of the 2018 college football season is normally the week of the season when teams which have played non-conference games shift into conference play. Yet, a number of the games on the schedule are still non-conference contests, creating imprecise contexts for many of the games you will consider on the slate. However, here […] More
Decisions have been made in Clemson and two-year starter Kelly Bryant is out and looking for a new place to call home while Trevor Lawrence is now leading the Tigers. This move caught the attention of the oddsmakers as it made a big move for Clemson’s game against Syracuse on Saturday. Let’s take a look […] More
All the fervor has died down somewhat since Nike unveiled its latest “Just Do It” ad campaign featuring none other than former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The message of the ad was to “believe in something, even if it costs you everything.” Kaepernick believes his stance (or kneel, as it were) against police […] More
Just three games into the season, it’s ridiculous to hit the panic button on any team and coach. But the Dallas Cowboys usually make a point of being ridiculous so that’s why the oddsmakers at DSI Sportsbook have asked the question below and are allowing you to wager your money on it. Here it is. […] More
Week 4 of the NFL season marks the end of September. As we wind down the final week of the opening month, we’re still trying to get a grip on who is legitimately good and who is more of a fluke. We’ll find out more this weekend but right now, we’re going to look ahead […] More
Our FCS football picks have been treading water over the last couple weeks, so it’s time to change that in Week 5 of the college football betting season. Last week, we were a little fortunate to get a push with Delaware against North Dakota State. The Bison were clearly the better team, racing out to […] More
Oh baby, I’m on a roll. I’ve now won three straight college football teasers this year, and five of my six plays would have been winners without the points. The only thing keeping it five instead of six was getting 6.5 instead of 7 with Hawai’i on the road against Army two weeks ago. No […] 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. As we’ll see, Week 3’s biggest injuries are already having an effect on the early Week 4 lines. Here are the Week 4 biggest spread moves […] More
What do you call a 10-team parlay where nine of the ten teams covered? A loser. I’m not taking any solace in cashing two out of the three legs of my college football parlay last week. Northern Illinois just couldn’t stop a sputtering Florida State offense, and that doomed me despite wins on Florida and […] More
Time to bounce back after a poor Week 4 for the GMS underdog picks. There were quite a few surprises around the country, but not the ones we picked. However, this is the time of year when dogs start to bark: It’s conference play, when teams and coaches that know each other oh-so-well start to […] More
