Week 7 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

I’ll admit it…I gave up on my Arizona Wildcats’ season after they lost the opener to Hawaii. The team played like garbage for most of the 60 minutes and honestly the score and end result was likely closer than the overall game itself.

Week 5 NFL Picks

I am a proponent in sports of the ultimate turnaround story. Heck, in the NHL, the St. Louis Blues went from the second worst team in January to a Stanley Cup Championship in June. Nothing is truly impossible…especially after only four weeks. Then again, I might take that back after watching the Dolphins this season. […]

Week 6 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + October Contenders / Pretenders

October: The time to separate the contenders from the pretenders in college football. Which teams are undefeated solely due to a generous early season schedule? And which ones are the true College Football Playoff contenders?

Week 4 NFL Picks

Right now, if I took the Patriots or Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIV and gave you the other 30 teams, would you take that bet? Would you be willing to bet against the two most powerful and dominant teams in the AFC…the best player in the league right now (Patrick Mahomes)…and the greatest of […]

Week 5 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

Week 3 NFL Picks

Hey college football…why did it take 4 weeks to have a truly compelling week of games, several of which are conference matchups? Michigan-Wisconsin. YES! Auburn-Texas A&M. YES! Utah-USC. YES! Even Florida-Tennessee and Oregon-Stanford are marquee matchups though the Vols and Cardinal are off to uncharacteristic rough starts this season.

Week 2 NFL Picks

My golden rule for Week 1 in anything – especially when it comes to football is – TRY NOT OVERREACT! Like thinking Baltimore’s offense led by Lamar Jackson is the second coming of Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Not happening…yes, the Dolphins are just THAT bad on defense. Or that the Browns are the same […]

Week 3 CFB Expert Picks

I think it’s fair to say that the course of ASU & UofA’s seasons will change this week. Sure, it’s only mid-September but both fanbases should have a better picture of what their teams’ seasons will look like after this week.

Week 2 CFB Expert Picks

It’s always fun to overreact to the official Week 1 in college football. Stunning comebacks, unexpected losses, and the annual notable QB injury. Here are 10 bold(ish) statements I believe to be true going forward after a wild Week 1:
