If you had told me at the beginning of the year that the biggest game of the year in the NFC would be Green Bay and Dallas I would have gently suggested that you find a way to get off the drugs. Regardless, that’s what it is, and it shapes up to be a great […]

If you don’t know the story of The Green Monkey, you should. He sold last year as a two year old for a ridiculous $16 million. He finally got to the track late this summer after more than a year of delays. He should have stayed in the barn. In three races he has burned […]

To enjoy long term handicapping success, the single most important element is to look back on what you have done so you can replicate what you have done well, and avoid the mistakes that you have made in the past. That means that you need to keep careful records of every bet you make, and […]

It is totally and utterly ridiculous that there is a 24 point spread in the NFL. Even more ridiculous, I can’t come up with a good reason to think that it is anything other than a legitimate spread. Don’t get me wrong - it’s a number that has been very inflated by the public support. […]

It’s not a very interesting weekend to me on the football front. The Thursday games were boring, but they represented most of the weekend’s value in my mind. Only one NFL game captures my interest. Don’t worry, though - I have another game for you to look at, too.
Houston (+3) at Cleveland - Cleveland has […]

Not much is exciting me about today’s college schedule, so I am going to take a pass on the day. That doesn’t mean I’m not excited about something, though - the Kansas-Missouri game tonight is everything that is great about college football.
Thanks to LSU’s loss yesterday, this is the second straight year where we have […]

You Americans have the best holidays. Thursday’s full of NFL action, and then a full slate of college football on Fridays. A bunch of great college basketball tournament play to boot. And big freaking balloons invading Broadway. Life is good.
Three college football games intrigue me on Friday:
Central Michigan (-2.5) at Akron - The Akron offense […]

What a horrendously boring day of football this has been so far. Two games and two totally predictable mismatches. Tonight’s NFL offering doesn’t promise to be any better, either. Thankfully, the college ranks are providing an intriguing game:
USC (-3) at Arizona State - I think that it’s a bit of an insult that ASU is […]

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans out there. I’m a Canadian, so it’s not my Thanksgiving, but I work mostly for Americans, I will be lying on the couch watching football all day like most Americans, and I really, really love turkey, so there will be a bird in the oven at my house in […]
