If you tried to come to the site in the last 24 hours you probably didn’t succeed. Apparently the computer gods weren’t very happy with the Super Bowl, either, and they figured that a service outage would be the best way to show their disgust.
Things should be smoother going forward. Thanks for your patience.

This is a column I do every week for Doc’s Sports. You can, and should, check them out at docsports.com for all sorts of information, insights and picks. I do a lot of writing for them.
A – Aggies. It’s been a pretty great 10 days for Texas A&M, with big conference wins over Oklahoma State, Texas and Oklahoma. The 17-point victory over Texas was particularly striking. The only problem is that the team preceded this nice string with three conferences losses in a row, and they weren’t close in two of them. This is one of those teams I find …read more

I have a hangover today. I’m not talking about the after effects of all that beer, though that didn’t help. Rather, I’m talking about the stark reality that football is over, and it is a long time until it rolls around again.

This is an article I had fun writing this week for Doc’s Sports. There is a ton of good information and articles over there for you to check out about the Super Bowl and everything else.

Yesterday it was player props, and today it is team bets. As a general rule, I think that the team props almost always offer more value than the player props – you don’t have to rely on just one player doing the right thing in order to cash a ticket. There are quite a few attractive team bets this year. I’ll post mine, and you can add any you like in the comments.
