NFL Football Betting: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets

Wow….these are tough times for NFL starting quarterbacks. Jacksonville Jaguars’ starter Nick Foles was already sidelined in Week 1. Then it was the Jets’ Sam Darnold coming down with a bout of mononucleosis that could keep him out up to 7 weeks. Finally, it was the carnage on Sunday that claimed two of the biggest […]

NFL Football Betting: Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons were pegged by some–not yours truly but some–as a team poised for a bounceback season. I wasn’t buying then and I’m not buying now. Sunday Night Football heads to the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta as the Falcons host the Philadelphia Eagles. Hopefully, this game will be more compelling than last Sunday’s […]

If you’ve been paying attention you’ve already realized that we’re big on the Buffalo Bills this season. We’ve got them pegged as one of the surprise teams of the season and will be looking to bet them at every possible opportunity until further notice. This opportunity is definitely one of them. Buffalo has already cashed […]

NFL Football Betting: New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins

Here’s a pro tip: any time you see an article talking about how the line in a NFL football game is ‘nearing an all time record in Las Vegas’ the correct move is to bet the other side. This concept is clearly at play here. Earlier this week, the media reported that the pointspread in […]

College Football Betting: Kansas at Boston College

Kansas head coach Les Miles made his bones at perennial SEC contender LSU where his third stringers would have comprised a better football team than the Jayhawk starters. It’s unlikely that anything he’s encountered in his career has prepared him for the dumpster fire he’s inherited in Lawrence. He takes to the road for the […]

College Football Betting: North Carolina at Wake Forest

These traditional rivals are more accustomed to fighting it out on the hardwood but both teams enter tonight’s contest with a 2-0 record. The North Carolina football team hasn’t been favored in a ACC game since 2016 but that could change if Mack Brown’s Tar Heels continue to play as well as they have in […]

NFL Football Betting: Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans

I expect the Indianapolis Colts to remain one of the biggest value teams in the NFL for the foreseeable future. The mainstream sports media and the casual fans that take their cue from them have completely overreacted to the retirement of Andrew Luck. Luck was physically a wreck and not in the right place mentally […]

NFL Football Betting: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers

Two teams with drastically different expectations face off on Thursday Night Football. Both the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-1 on the season though they went about it in dramatically different ways. The Panthers put up a spirited effort against the defending NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams before losing 30-27 as +1.5 home […]
