10 reasons I am going to hate this Super Bowl

We’re going to be talking about the Super Bowl a lot over the next two weeks. After all, it is the biggest sports betting event of the year, and sports betting is what we are all about. Let’s get started. I have to admit that I am not that excited about this match-up. Okay, I […]

The week in Betting, A to Z

A - Andy Murray. The former tennis prodigy won his first tournament of the year and was showing new maturity […]

NFC Championship

New York Giants (+7) at Green Bay - I’ve burned money two weekends in a row by betting against the Giants. Why stop now? I don’t believe in this team despite their recent playoff run, and I am not confident that their pass rush will be able to shut down an opposing quarterback three weeks […]

AFC Championship

San Diego (+14.5) at New England - I said it earlier in the week, and I am going to stick by it - I’m taking the Chargers. They are probably outclassed, and injuries will hurt, but two touchdowns is  a pretty big cushion, and I am more confident in their ability to keep it close […]

It’s fight night

The weekend is all about getting ready for the NFL and watching some college basketball (I’m excited about Ohio State-Tennessee and USC-UCLA, and I can’t wait to see what Minnesota can manage at home against Michigan State), but there are some other worthy diversions to pass the time until kickoff. UFC 80 is on tonight, […]

Surprising public action for Sunday’s early game

I was just checking out the public action for this weekend’s football games, and frankly I was more than a little bit surprised about what is happening in the early game. For what I would imagine is the first or at worst second time this year, fewer bettors have sided with the New England Patriots […]

It’s all about perspective

This isn’t directly related to sports betting, but it is just so ridiculous that I had to share it. I live in Canada, and my hometown of Calgary has a Canadian Football League team, the Stampeders. We are the former home of NFL greats like Doug Flutie and Jeff Garcia. There are those up here […]

Looking ahead to Sunday

Let me say this from the start - the Patriots are going to win the AFC Championship. They are then going to win the Super Bowl. I have very few doubts about that. That being said, I can’t help but jump on the Chargers right now. The spread is available in places at 14.5, and […]

Tuesday’s links to love

Here’s a collection of some interesting sports betting-related links in the cyber world today:

 I normally don’t pay too much attention to injury reports, but I will be watching the one from the Chargers very closely this week. It could go one of two ways - either the injuries to key players will be serious and […]
