Go Columbia!

There’s not much basketball action tonight, and even less that is interesting. Taking a day off is bad for karma, though, so there’s one game I think is worth a look tonight.
Harvard (+7) at Columbia - I like Columbia here for several reasons:

They beat Harvard by nine on the road two weeks ago.
They are an […]

Friday college action

The action on Friday night is a slim as we would expect, but there is one game that is interesting and which provides a decent amount of value in my mind.
Davidson (-3) at Winthrop - Off the top I’ll say that I like Davidson here. The Wildcats are playing well, especially on the road, and […]

President’s day hoops

There are four games in tonight’s holiday college basketball action that stand out for me as providing some value:
Xavier (+2.5) at Rhode Island - Xavier has struggled a bit lately, but they have still won seven in a row even if the margin hasn’t been as big as it could be. This is a […]

Saturday college games I like

As is usual, there are a million college games this weekend. Here are the five that stick out as the best values on Saturday:
Louisville (-5.5) at Providence -  I love how Louisville is laying, I think that they match up well here, and I think that Rick Pitino gets a little more fired up than […]

Handicapping the NBA Skills debacle

The NBA Skills part of the All-Star weekend isn’t as good as it used to be, but it still has its moments. More importantly, though, it is something we can bet on. That’s always a good thing. Here are the three most interesting bets on the board in my mind:
Winner of the three-point shootout - […]

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 […]

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 […]
