CFP Quarterfinals Score Predictions + Best Bets

Last year the College Football Playoff took a bizarre turn in the quarterfinals. After the four home teams (higher seeds) won in the first round, all four of those teams stunned the higher seeded teams in the quarterfinals. Spoiler alert: that’s not happening again in 2025. Honestly, last year’s format was stupid and fortunately it […]

Week 17 NFL Score Predictions

We’re winding down the NFL’s regular season – it’s crazy that there’s only two weeks to go. Someone asked me today who I would bet in the Super Bowl and I’m absolutely clueless in the AFC. I don’t trust Denver nor New England even though they’ll both have at least 1-2 home playoff games. I’m […]

Week 16 NFL Score Predictions

I apologize in advance for the brief NFL picks column this week. I’m a little under the weather and doing my best to lay low before a big weekend of college and pro games. So less writeups than usual for each pick this week. I need 30 more wins in the season’s last 48 games […]

College Football Playoff Score Predictions + Best bets

To be perfectly honest, this year’s College Football Playoff has far from the most appealing slate of games. The ACC’s failure to come up with a decent tiebreaker basically was the difference between James Madison making the CFP and Notre Dame. Heck, BYU with an 11-2 season and both losses to Texas Tech probably deserved […]

Week 15 NFL Score Predictions

We’re heading into the home stretch of the NFL’s regular season and it’s fair to say how strange a season it’s been. The two reigning Super Bowl combatants, Philadelphia and Kansas City, have remained relatively healthy but just look bad. Meanwhile, two AFC teams with second year QBs – New England and Denver look like […]

CFB Conference Championship Game Score Predictions

I’m still glowing after a 9-3 season for my Arizona Wildcats, the second such successful campaign since 2023. While the team may not be the most talented in school history, they seem to actually like each other and upped their play with a 5-0 November and now the #18 ranking by the College Football Playoff […]

Week 14 NFL Score Predictions

While watching the Thanksgiving day game between Detroit and Green Bay, I had a friend text a group thread discussing how it’s more than probable that the NFL scripts who wins and loses. He compared it to wrestling. Sure, Green Bay had a few calls go their way that probably shouldn’t have, but I attribute […]

Week 13 NFL Score Predictions

Thanksgiving weekend is an NFL fan’s dream – games on four different days including three on Turkey Day. With NFL playoff races heating up and fantasy football regular seasons nearing their end, there’s a ton of intrigue for Week 13. Which teams are on upset alert this weekend? I’m 23-6 in straight up picks over […]

Week 14 CFB Musings

It’s the best weekend of the college football season and also the saddest – the final regular season games of the 2025 season. The last two years on SportsLine, I crushed my CFB picks…but it’s definitely been the opposite in 2025, especially over the last two weeks. But it’s time to end the regular season […]

Week 13 CFB Musings

I should’ve known better than to go all in on Texas last week. Steve Sarkisian’s record in big games should’ve told me everything I needed to know. But my gut feeling got in the way and it cost me. But the crazy part is, if Texas beats Texas A&M next week, which I likely will […]
