FBS Bowl Odds: Predictions on the First Week of College Football’s Postseason
The best feeling a handicapper can have is to win a wager after predicting exactly how the game will go. But the worst feeling isn’t to get everything wrong, which inexorably happens from time to time. Rather, it’s to be right about a majority of tactical outcomes only to lose the prediction anyway. Navy’s 31-7 win over Army is an example, at least as far as WagerBop is … [Read more...] about FBS Bowl Odds: Predictions on the First Week of College Football’s Postseason
Army vs Navy: Betting Odds and Prediction on the Fight in Philadelphia
When President Trump told viewers of the 2017 Army-Navy Game that the American classic was “not the best football, but still very, very good,” he was right for the wrong reasons. Trump, a former USFL proprietor, was remarking that college players don’t always run as fast or jump as high as pro players do. That’s true of course, but not what has threatened to make Army vs Navy … [Read more...] about Army vs Navy: Betting Odds and Prediction on the Fight in Philadelphia
FBS Championship Weekend: Odds and Best Betting Lines on 10 Conference Title Games
The inimitable Kreighton Rahn has agreed to take over WagerBop’s NFL-prediction duties for 2 weeks so that yours-truly can focus on climactic college games like Power-5 and Group-of-5 conference championships, and of course Army vs Navy on December 14th. But as streamlined as my efforts may be, somehow I can’t look at the FBS betting board for this weekend and make perfect … [Read more...] about FBS Championship Weekend: Odds and Best Betting Lines on 10 Conference Title Games
Conference Championship Week by the Numbers
Rivalry Weekend 2019 was disappointing. The Palmetto Bowl, The Game, Bedlam, The Civil War, GEO-GT, WISC-MINN, BAY-KAN, ND-STAN, LSU-A&M, UF-FSU … all blowouts and 0 upsets. The only close game that meant something last weekend was the Iron Bowl - Bama-Auburn. A discouraged Michigan fan, I didn’t even feel like watching another football game Saturday, but I tuned in once … [Read more...] about Conference Championship Week by the Numbers
Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
Covering prep football on Fridays is, as Sappho might have put it, a supreme experience on the black Earth. But even if I wasn’t addicted to the aura of pigskin in its purest form, I would still be well-advised to follow Friday night lights (the actual games, not the show with the immortal teenagers) to learn and improve my FBS and NFL handicapping. For instance, is it … [Read more...] about Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
Huge Opportunities in Sunshine State Showdown Plus Rivalry Week Parlay
Would you consider it a rivalry if the record after 20 games was 16-3-1? Would you consider it a rivalry if the two teams met for 9 consecutive years when each was ranked? I’ve expressed my passion and respect for The Game. I feel Florida and Florida State is the second-best rivalry of the last 30 years. The Sunshine State Showdown dates back to 1958 when #12 ranked … [Read more...] about Huge Opportunities in Sunshine State Showdown Plus Rivalry Week Parlay
Predicting Stanford vs Cal and Other Big Games in College Football Week 13
Silly me, I went into 2019 thinking there were 15 weeks of the FBS regular season, followed by the conference title clashes. Upon further review, it turns out Week 15 is the round of conference championships. Week 14 will herald Rivalry Weekend in which storied schools meet in scrums to determine bragging rights and (on-occasion) bowl placement or eligibility. It will be … [Read more...] about Predicting Stanford vs Cal and Other Big Games in College Football Week 13
The Buckeyes Will Have to Earn It
As a native Michigander and Wolverine fan, I have seen a lot of Ohio State football games. Most were on Thanksgiving weekend and featured the Buckeyes killing my favorite team. I remember Terrell Pryor and Dan Herron being unstoppable. Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde took over the offense for a couple years. J.T. Barrett, Cardale Jones, and Zeke Elliott were the next wave of … [Read more...] about The Buckeyes Will Have to Earn It
