Week 12 CFB Musings

The next few weeks of college football are going to be crazy. While Ohio State looks like the team to beat, it’s also fair to say that they haven’t really been tested after beating Texas in Week 0. I don’t think Indiana has any chance against them in the Big Ten Championship Game in three […]

Week 11 CFB Musings

Last week, I was pretty solid with my SportsLine CFB picks, +3.65 units and a 5-3 record. I put a two unit play on Texas -1.5 and fortunately they didn’t fully collapse at the end vs. Vanderbilt. For the season, I was 24-26 on SL, -4.4 units. All plays will be one unit on this […]

2025 Week 10 NFL Score Predictions + Why I’m Back Here

I don’t think I’ve published picks on this blog in a long time, something like 4+ years ago. But things have a funny way of working out, sometimes good, sometimes not so much. Last week after 3.5 years, my day job at SportsLine was eliminated in the sweeping Paramount layoffs. I had a lot of […]

January 2023 Update

It’s been a crazy last two-and-a-half years since I left Phoenix sports radio but hope you’re still following me on Twitter to see where you can watch and hear my sports takes. I’ve been fortunate enough to transition into the sports betting industry working for my all-time favorite sports analytics website, SportsLine, after an eight month stint with […]

2020 MLB Playoff Predictions

Like I said would happen all along, baseball made it successfully through their regular season. Sure they had their share of bumps (and COVID interruptions) along the way…but a postseason is set to be played which quite a few people wouldn’t have believed 12 weeks ago.

August Mailbag: My D-Backs ‘hate’, the Territorial Cup rivalry, multiple favorite teams, my dating life, and more!

We haven’t done one of these in a year – so might as well address some things I’ve received via email and Twitter before football season kicks into high gear. If you have questions for future editions, don’t hesitate to email me at ecohen@1580thefanatic.com. You come off as such a hater of the local major […]

2017 Pac-12 Football Predictions: It’s USC, Washington, and everybody else

In honor of Pac-12 Football Media Days today and tomorrow, it’s time to break down how I believe the conference will shape up in 2017. Below I’ll project each team’s record (overall and in-conference) and give a bold prediction (at least I hope so) for each team. South Division 1. USC Trojans (11-1, 8-1) There […]

Mocking the NBA…Draft (Top 10)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…the best part of the NBA season is the draft. The regular season, with the exception of the occasional notable game is BORING and PREDICTABLE. The playoffs were thoroughly BORING and predictable. But the offseason thus far is just the opposite. Crazy trades, rumors, and personnel departures […]
