Parity in Sports: A Look at Championships
Former NFL Commissioner Bert Bell envisioned a league where the difference between good and bad teams was slim and any team could beat any other. We call this parity. Which sports leagues have the most parity? In some sports, like college basketball, it seems nearly impossible to predict the champion.

Finding the Right Betting Market on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals
I thought of a whole new use for line-forecasting today. Or should I say a new method of handicapping based around odds-forecasting.

NHL Conference Quarterfinals: Lines and Predictions for Tuesday’s Game 7s

On Tuesday night, however, goals could come at a premium. At least 1 out of 2 goalie match-ups is a doozy in the making.

Canadian Clubs Could Rule First Weekend of NHL Playoffs
