NFL Conference Championship Game Score Predictions

It’s one of the best days on the sports calendar – Conference Championship Sunday – yet the AFC game is hardly compelling without Bo Nix for the Broncos. Outside of his parents and friends, no one else wants to see Jarrett Stidham pilot a team in a game of this magnitude. In the NFC, we […]

CFP National Championship Game & NFL Divisional Round Score Predictions

Last weekend produced some of the most exciting, meaningful football games that I’ve seen in some time. Sure, we see fantastic finishes just about every weekend in college and pro football, but with teams’ seasons on the line, it’s on another level. Here are a few thoughts before we get to this week’s picks: -How […]

CFP Semifinals & NFL Playoffs Score Predictions

It’s one of the most fun weeks of the football season – we’re down to the semifinals in college football and the opening week of the playoffs in the NFL. While the CFP matchups are somewhat surprising (at least the Fiesta Bowl), I would say the teams that made the playoffs in the NFL this […]

Week 18 NFL Score Predictions

Happy New Year! 2025 didn’t end on a high note for picks as I lost my last NFL pick on Monday (Rams) and college football pick (Ohio State). Let’s hope 2026 brings a heck of a lot more fortune. The good news, for those who’ve followed my recent posts, is that in Year 29, I […]

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 […]
