It was a rough Week 9, 1-4 ATS, at least hitting the best bet for a 2.38 unit net loss. Two close losses were in ACC games with UNC-Pitt going over by a half point, and FSU covering by 2 against Georgia Tech. The third close loss took place out west when Cal +17 lost … Continue reading Week 10 Betting Guide
Week 9 Betting Guide
Week 8 was the nice bounce back going 3-2 for a +1.93 unit net result. Syracuse easily covered at Clemson, as did best bet Louisville in their two touchdown win over Pitt. Several big games this Saturday with multiple undefeated teams playing away from home, we can only hope for chaos similar to Tennessee's instant … Continue reading Week 9 Betting Guide
Week 5 Betting Guide
It was a slower than hoped start going 2-3 with a best bet (×2 press) win in our first week back last week. Minnesota was a lock from the start and the contrarian MSU takes, eg. Bear on Gameday, backfired immediately. The Purdue total was wrong, but I wouldn't have made it had I been … Continue reading Week 5 Betting Guide

Stroud seems to be the favorite, but is competing … Continue reading Big Ten Six Pack Preview

Prior to the beginning of the season, I will be doing power rankings for each power five conference. Today we are starting with the Big Ten, mainly because I am an Ohio State fan. There was bias into this decision and if you do not like that, I would recommend you stop reading now. In … Continue reading Preseason Big Ten Power Rankings
