Tennessee at Jacksonville: Titans by 3. Tennessee might not be the team they were last year, but the Jags are one of the worst in the league. Yeah, they won this week behind a career game from Jones-Drew, but Garrard is a dime-a-dozen QB, and Holt isn’t exactly lighting it up. The defense is full [...]
I won’t apologize for not seeing the Virginia Tech score coming, I’m sure I ended up in the same boat as many other gamblers out there. Needless to say, that one hurt. I redeemed myself by hitting the Indiana vs. Michigan line right on the head, though. And Florida covered, as expected, although I can [...]
Well, I’ll keep my .500 record going strong into week 4 of college football. I missed the Texas/Texas Tech prediction (the Longhorns won, but not by enough to cover the spread), but accurately called the Jayhawks’ destruction of Duke. What happened in the Texas game? While everyone was focusing on the revenge angle, we all [...]
Week 2 was much like week 1 for my predictions, a 1-1 split. Where’d did I slip up? I gave too much credit to the defending champs. Or maybe not enough credit to the Bears defensive unit as a whole. Either way, Chicago took advantage of a couple missed field goals by Reed and an [...]
Well, week two was no more or less successful than week 1 for me. So I carry a 2-2 record into week 3, which is better than I can say for many of these top-rated teams that have bit the injury bug so early in the season. That Texas vs. Florida championship is coming clearer [...]
We’re only through one week and it’s already a crazy season. I took a beating in fantasy, so I’m looking to redeem myself with some fresh bets. I realized I didn’t officially make a call on the Steelers game looking back, so I’m officially 1-0 heading into this Sunday. Let’s see if I can build [...]
The pro’s take the field once again, and our lives have meaning through January once again, as well. No witty comments, no useless jabber, just the matchups.
All right, so the Gamecocks had a bit of trouble with NC State, sending me into an acceptable but blemished 1-1 record right off the bat. Still, I made a good call on the big game that mattered (like I’ve been saying, do not dismiss those under the radar Big 12 teams – there’s more [...]
And let the games begin. Let’s take our first look of the season at some official lines and predictions, then we’ll come back next week, see how we did, and do the whole thing over again. Saturday’s have meaning again folks.
So you can learn so much and yet so little from watching pre-season games. And as the world of fantasy drafts starts rockin’ and rollin’ (my big one is Saturday), the rest of the “real” gambling community is closely watching other aspects of a team’s performance and decision-making. So what have we learned in the [...]
