The 2022-23 Stanley Cup playoffs did not produce a pair of 4-game sweeps in the conference finals, a scenario that "Super" Mario Lemieux last helped to bring about back in the 1990s.

College Football Betting: Air Force at Boise State Spread and 4 Saturday Picks

By Leave a Comment

We usually don't use weekly intros to soapbox, but rather to introduce overall betting angles to think about when preparing a round of picks. This time, though, the 2 genres are kind of connected. Alabama should absolutely not be a 5th-ranked team after losing to an unranked school with a .500 record like Texas A&M. It's not so much about "SEC bias" or even Power-5 bias, … [Read more...] about College Football Betting: Air Force at Boise State Spread and 4 Saturday Picks

Stanley Cup Odds: The NHL Olympics Angle That The Media is Whiffing On

By Leave a Comment

Even the silent majority (or in the case of podcasters chirping of how excited they are, the not-so-silent majority) of ice hockey fans who're pleased with the NHL's decision to participate in the Winter Olympics seem to agree on 1 negative point - that the NHL and the Beijing Olympics will be at cross-purposes in manufacturing a healthy, exciting season of pond shinny.

Week 5 NFL Sportsbook Lines and Predictions: San Fran QB Woes Causing the Odds to Ripple

By Leave a Comment

Give the betting public credit for taking cold showers on NFL outcomes. Most sportsbooks' Super Bowl odds are not budging despite early-season "oddities" like New Orleans and Kansas City plunging out of Top 10 rankings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing in pale fashion to the L.A. Rams not too terribly long after Tom Brady vanquished Sean McVay's club in a title scrum, and the … [Read more...] about Week 5 NFL Sportsbook Lines and Predictions: San Fran QB Woes Causing the Odds to Ripple

Week 6 FBS Odds and Picks: Navy a Strong ATS Wager at Home

By Leave a Comment

Leagues designed to promote absolute parity can make the fog of shallow hype even harder to squint through. How many times has an NFL player gone on a talk show, and when asked if his team can potentially win the Super Bowl, he says, "Hey man, sky's the limit. Lotta talent on this team." That's probably my favorite political-sports tripe of all, "Lotta talent on this team." … [Read more...] about Week 6 FBS Odds and Picks: Navy a Strong ATS Wager at Home

Crystal Palace vs Leicester Goal Total Pick and Best Odds on the EPL Weekend

Your blog's English football pundit left everything UK-themed to Nikola by accident last week, which isn't a shame at all from a prediction POV. The big man is excellent at forecasting European matches of all stripes, but regretfully, a vacation in Maui wasn't the culprit behind last weekend's missing picks - rather a PC crash that struck just as UEFA was gearing up for another … [Read more...] about Crystal Palace vs Leicester Goal Total Pick and Best Odds on the EPL Weekend

Those who follow WagerBop's W/L records know that our Daily Double prediction outcomes are far more curious than our results with any other sport or league.

NFL Week 3: Ravens at Lions Point Total Pick and Prime-Time Betting Preview

By Leave a Comment

Just as it happens in college football, the very best NFL teams make their schedules look weak.

Tampa simply went into another gear on offense late in the Atlanta contest, … [Read more...] about NFL Week 3: Ravens at Lions Point Total Pick and Prime-Time Betting Preview
