Week 17 NFL Picks + Best Bets

You know that game Keno that is played in most, if not all casinos? Pretty much picking random numbers and hoping they hit. Similar to the lottery in that intuition and luck are the only chances you have for success. I feel like making predictions on some of these NFL games this week are similar […]

Week 16 NFL Picks + Best Bets

It’s a pretty depressing feeling when your favorite NFL team is eliminated from playoff contention with two weeks to play, especially when they’ve been regulars nearly your entire adult life. But I have to give my Green Bay Packers credit off-the-field, they made the CORRECT decision to shut down Aaron Rodgers instead of play him […]

Predicting College Football’s Bowl Season + This Week’s Best CFB Bets

One of my favorite times of the year, well not just the holidays, but it’s college football bowl season! Instead of picking each and every game on the blog, I set up a different kind of postseason predictions challenge.

Week 15 NFL Picks

We’re finally to Week 15 – in most leagues the penultimate week of the fantasy football season. I’m in two league semifinals out of the five that play the head-to-head format…including my own league (which I’ve never won in 20 years). Is this my time? If Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake continues to be a poor […]

Week 14 NFL Picks + CFB Regular Season Picks Wrapup

Without a doubt this is my least favorite football weekend of the season. With the exception of Army-Navy, there’s no college football this weekend and it’s painful.

So while I take a look at the schedule for the first time, here are 25 initial stream of consciousness […]

Week 13 NFL Picks + Week 14 CFB Predictions

“YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!” – Herm Edwards So wait, (Athletic Director) Ray Anderson and ASU, you think it’s a good idea to hire a 63 year old coach who hasn’t been on the sidelines since 2008 and last coached any level of college football in 1989? What sense does this make? On what […]

Thanksgiving Double Column: Week 12 NFL Picks, Week 13 CFB Predictions, Best Bets, Territorial Cup Thoughts and more!

To me, there’s nothing better than Thanksgiving and its subsequent four day weekend. It’s without a doubt by favorite week of the year. From family and friends to food (especially the twice-baked potatoes & apple pie) to football overload (UofA-ASU, Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-Auburn, NFL, and my own Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving morning), the next four […]

Week 11 NFL Picks + Week 12 CFB Predictions

The college football regular season is winding down and with two games to go, UofA has far exceeded my preseason expectations while ASU is two losses away from matching them. After a 2-2 start, the Wildcats have won 5 of their next 6 with only a loss to conference leading USC on the road as […]
