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 […]

I like Saturday’s games way more than I like Sunday’s. That doesn’t mean that I am going to be original, though - it’s going to be all about the chalk today. I don’t love being in line with the public, but I can’t justify going another way here.
Washington (+3.5) at Seattle - The Redskins have […]

The Poinsettia Bowl is the most exciting game tonight in my mind, but then I’m a bowl junkie. While tonight’s NFL game isn’t as exciting, it is an interesting puzzle:
Pittsburgh (-7.5) at St. Louis - Normally, I would love to find a way to pick against the Steelers. They are playing poorly in recent weeks […]

As I said on Friday, I am not particularly thrilled with the NFL these days. Finding value this week was a mind-numbing challenge. There are so many games that are automatic passes, and a couple of the interesting games have lines that are pretty tight. I only found three games this week that I will […]

It’s time to get back to some college basketball here on this site. It is a pretty light card for Tuesday night, but I nonetheless find two games interesting. It’s a bit of a unique night for me because I like the visitors in both cases:
Bradley (-1.5) at Wright State - Wright State is getting […]

Five games strike my fancy today. The New England game is not one of them, but I will obviously be watching with interest. My feeling is that this is the game where the Pats get back into spread covering form. I don’t particularly believe in the Steelers, especially on the road. I don’t have enough […]

New England (-18.5) at Baltimore - I am on Baltimore tonight. There are a couple of emotional based reasons, including the impact of the pride of a very potentially solid defense for Baltimore. My biggest reason to be on Baltimore, though, is the line movement. More than two thirds of the bets made have been […]

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 […]

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 […]
