The biggest college basketball game of the year

I normally don’t write about a college basketball game three days in advance, but then again I’m normally not this excited about one regular season college basketball game. I have had the Memphis-Tennessee game circled on my calendar for months. I was pretty sure that it was going to be a good one when I […]

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 […]

Bowling for Dollars - Outback Bowl

This is part of our Bowling for Dollars contest. You can start participating at any time. Check out the announcement here.
Tennessee (-3) vs. Wisconsin (Tuesday, Jan. 1, 11:00 a.m. ET) - I had no problem coming to a conclusion in this game. Sometimes that’s kind of scary. Regardless, I like Tennessee. In recent weeks […]

Week 8 NFL picks (just 364 more days to the Breeders’ Cup)

I’m playing an abnormally high number of NFL games this week (8) because I am feeling post-Breeders’ Cup withdrawal, so the action will help me shake the blues.
Indianapolis (-6.5) at Carolina - I am concerned by the injury situations of both Marvin Harrison and Tony Ugoh. Despite that, Indy’s defense is healthy, and that makes […]

Three games for week 7 of college football

Just three college games stick out this week. Some weeks just don’t have the potential that others do, though that obviously varies by who is looking at them:
Illinois (-3.5) at Iowa - When I was first looking at this game on the schedule this week, I had Illinois favored by 6.5 (and still attractive […]
