Week 12 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

It’s really a marvel in this day and age for teams in a power conference to be undefeated two weeks into November. I don’t care if your schedule is soft (a la Clemson’s), no team is immune from a letdown here or there.

Week 10 NFL Picks

We’re a little more than halfway through the NFL season and what have we learned? New England may be the best team in the league (and yes they still are after the loss to Baltimore) but the competition may not be as far behind as many, including me would’ve thought last week. It’s also been a weird year picking games…I’ve done better recently but for a few weeks there, I picked more losers than winners.

Week 11 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

Dare I say last Saturday was NOT a good one for me. UofA (no I will never refer to my alma mater as UArizona) got smoked by a lousy Oregon State team on Homecoming and I suffered probably the worst bad betting beat in years!

Week 9 NFL Picks

In 2019, we’ve seen two teams go from rock bottom to the champions of their respective sports. The St. Louis Blues were in last place at the beginning of January…and Stanley Cup Champions in June. The Washington Nationals were 19-31 in May…and just won the World Series.
Is there a team in the NFL that can do the same thing?

Week 10 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

I always feel badly calling for someone else to be fired from their job. But the truth is – no matter your profession, if you aren’t cutting it, it’s time for you to go. D-day finally happened for Arizona Wildcats’ defensive coordinator Marcel Yates, whose lackluster schemes were being torched by seemingly everyone in the Pac-12 for the last several years.

Week 8 NFL Picks

I think it’s fair to say that after 7 weeks of the 2019 NFL season, the New England Patriots look like the best team far and away. Their defense has been nothing short of ’85 Bears-esque while the offense is cruising with the ageless Tom Brady. But on the NFC side, multiple Super Bowl contenders seem to have emerged. Here’s a quick breakdown of the contenders and pretenders (and sorry Cardinals’ fans, you don’t make this list)…

Week 9 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Breaking Down the Heisman Race

Coming into the 2019 college football season, the Heisman Trophy race looked to be an easy choice among the last two National Championship winning QBs, Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) and Trevor Lawrence (Clemson). But Lawrence has failed to impress and Tua’s high ankle sprain last Saturday figures to sideline / hamper him for weeks.

Week 7 NFL Picks

The big story around the NFL this week centers around officiating and how awful it has become. For those of you fairly new to the blog, I’m an unabashed Packers fan and while I’m thrilled at the last second win over the Lions on Monday night, I can honestly say that the Packers were aided by several crucial calls courtesy of the refs.

Week 8 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Revising my Pac-12 Predictions

We’re halfway through the Pac-12 season and therefore it’s time to re-evaluate my preseason picks. I seem to have been fairly accurate thus far about most teams except for one notable exception: the ASU Sun Devils.

Week 6 NFL Picks

I’m salty about the NFL right now. No, it has nothing to do with the fact that my fantasy football teams (all 9 of them) are generally underperforming. It’s the fact that the parity in the league might actually be too much! I can’t remember the last time I had back-to-back sub-.500 weeks picking games. […]
