Will lame duck coaches matter?

This is something we won’t need to worry about for eight months or so, but I wanted to discuss it now while it was still fresh. Three pretty unique coaching situations have popped up in the NFL in the last couple of weeks. While each one is different, they all share similar elements. I’m talking […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sunday NFL playoff games

San Diego (+10) at Indianapolis - The Chargers are cocky, they are playing as well as they have all year, there is a good chance the Antonio Gates will be back, and they already beat Indy once this year. It seems to me like there is a decent chance that San Diego can stay […]

Saturday NFL action

I had a pretty good feeling about the games last Saturday, and I got them both wrong. Maybe it’s a good thing, then, that I don’t feel great about either of today’s games.

Seattle (+8) at Green Bay - I have no doubt that Green Bay is the better team and the pick. I’m just not […]

Sunday NFL Wild Card games

Unlike Saturday, these games do absolutely nothing to excite me. That doesn’t mean I won’t pick them, though. I am a wild man.
New York Giants (+2.5) at Tampa Bay - I have gone back and forth on this one, but in the end I just have to go with the Bucs. I don’t like […]
