Premier League Matchday 6: Blues Can Save All or Fall vs Liverpool
There are a few common threads in the typical early-season Premier League storylines. Less-heralded clubs will often run-up a nice point tally in August, September and October matches, only to predictably fall back once the real football gets going in winter. Aristocrats will slip, slide and work to improve their lineups before becoming prohibitive favorites in fixtures late in … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 6: Blues Can Save All or Fall vs Liverpool
Week 3 NFL Picks: Choosing a Moneyline Winner for Kansas City vs Baltimore
Thanks to Lamar Jackson’s astounding level of production as the starting QB in Mobtown, the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens contest on Sunday afternoon is being hyped as a battle of 2 elite offenses in addition to 2 unbeaten teams. It’s an understandable narrative. Joe Flacco had some fantastic years as a pocket passer in Baltimore, but the Ravens’ dynamic … [Read more...] about Week 3 NFL Picks: Choosing a Moneyline Winner for Kansas City vs Baltimore
College Football Week 4: Predicting Notre Dame at Georgia and 3 Other Top 25 Games
It’s my job to provide a wide-view glimpse of every college football weekend, so for the past few weeks WagerBop has focused on “handicapping the out-of-conference slate” prior to teams getting into their in-league schedules in late September. But despite most of the OOC match-ups having taken place already, there is no bigger non-conference scrum in America than Notre Dame … [Read more...] about College Football Week 4: Predicting Notre Dame at Georgia and 3 Other Top 25 Games
NFL Week 2: Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens Gambling Line and Prediction
Once on a memorable Monday Night Football broadcast (in which the St. Louis Cardinals somehow beat the Dallas Cowboys by 38 points), Howard Cosell summed it all up this way: "Are they really that good, Frank, or are the Cowboys just that bad? That was the vibe in Week 1 as the Baltimore Ravens clobbered the Miami Dolphins by 49 points. Magic City fans booed early and often … [Read more...] about NFL Week 2: Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens Gambling Line and Prediction
English Premier League Matchday 5 Betting Preview: Lost and Found Like CPFC
I foolishly sat down and wrote about a thousand words of notes on Matchday 5 of the Premiership, and of course the gambling lines at the time, in the middle of last week - foolishly and unluckily. An office hardware crash (that would also temporarily press pause on WagerBop's Daily Double) wiped out all of my English football handicapping for the cycle, and left only scant … [Read more...] about English Premier League Matchday 5 Betting Preview: Lost and Found Like CPFC
CFB Week 3 Moneylines: Florida at Kentucky and 3 Other FBS Predictions
The flurry of late-summer OOC games is dying down, and schools are preparing for the meat of their schedules - taking-on conference games or (in the case of 6 FBS independents) fierce rivals in convenient locales. Much can be gleaned from the opening 2-3 weeks. Obviously, the Mountain West is threatening to supplant the American Athletic Conference as the toughest Group-of-5 … [Read more...] about CFB Week 3 Moneylines: Florida at Kentucky and 3 Other FBS Predictions
Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Week 1 NFL Moneylines and Prediction
The NFL is promoting big-time rivalries in Week 1 of the 2019-20 season. Thursday Night Football kicked things off with the Packers and the Bears warring at Soldier Field. Sunday’s battle between New England and Pittsburgh is being heralded as an ultimate modern-era clash of champions. I’m still partial to the NFC East, though, having grown-up in an NFC East household. … [Read more...] about Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Week 1 NFL Moneylines and Prediction
College Football Predictions: Pitt vs Ohio and 4 Other Moneyline Picks for Week 2
I once perplexed a High School football coach (who has limited hours to spend watching games at the next level) by calling his team the “Ohio Bobcats” of Missouri pigskin. He tried to go along, but was clearly unfamiliar with Frank Solich’s outfit in Athens. What I meant was that his prep school team wasn’t always big enough to beat massive foes and wasn’t always a … [Read more...] about College Football Predictions: Pitt vs Ohio and 4 Other Moneyline Picks for Week 2
