Well, somehow the Pirates did it. They made Corbin actually look good. They even complimented the bullpen on the way out. Today we move to a much more interesting matchup. The Mets are hosting the Astros in a game we know will be much better than a 3-1 Pirates and…

With an abbreviated spring schedule this year, pitchers have been feeling a bit of pressure to ramp up quickly. This is already causing some injury problems and the regular season hasn’t even begun yet. Many key starters (and a few relievers) are already nicked up, some more seriously than others…

Despite everyone paying a load of attention to lineups and matchups as we always do in March, there are still always a few positional questions that aren’t quite clarified as teams depart from Arizona and Florida to start the regular season. Part of the cause for the uncertainty was due…

We all know that spring statistics mean nothing a lot of the time. It seems like often the players who lead the Grapefruit League in home runs end up playing the rest of the season (and often their career) in places like Toledo, Buffalo and Memphis. Hitting bombs off of…

There’re still a few days left before the season starts to get your Futures bets in at their current number. There have been quite a few key starting pitchers’ injuries already (deGrom, Miley, Castillo, Sale, Baz) but there haven’t been many hitters going down thus far – at least not…

The season starts in about a week and things are starting to shake down as Spring Training winds down. With a few injuries to key starting pitchers already (Jacob deGrom, Chris Sale, Shane Baz, Luis Castillo), things are becoming a little clearer. With that clarity there are a few bets…

I realize that baseball season may not start until December 2027, but a lot of fantasy drafts have their dates set for March, so I’m going to do my level best to get fantasy nerds prepared, even if it currently feels pointless and depressing – just like baseball owners always…

This will be the last positional breakdown of the preseason. After this I will have some suggestions of sleepers, players who are overrated and underrated and positional battles to keep your eye on. Right fielder might be the deepest position as far as getting an elite player goes- more than…

My last fantasy baseball article was to warn you about overbidding for players that I didn’t think were worthy of the draft spots they were being taken in. Today we’re going to talk about players I think you actually should reach for before they’ve been going off the board. It’s…

Hopefully, we can get a deal or a placeholder in place in the next few days so there is no cancellation of regular season games. Nevertheless, it’s never a bad idea to be prepared, so let’s break down who we think is going to win each division in the American…

It got a little dicey at the end, but the Warriors covered and cashed for us and moved onto their sixth finals in eight years. Now we shift back to the Eastern conference finals, where the Celtics have a chance to get to the finals with a win. Can Boston…

Today we wrap up our baseball preview with the divisional winners in the national league. MLB has approved a universal DH, so that will instantly make the good teams even stronger now that there is not almost an automatic out hitting out of the nine spot. With that said, let’s…

Look, I’m not even going to touch the Boston series. I mean, at this point, flip a coin and go with that. We are heading back to the hardwood for the Warriors and Grizzlies matchup. Memphis has handled themselves in every game but one in this series. Golden State would…

Rather than just rank outfielders, I thought I’d be a little more specific because some drafts require you to cover all three outfield positions and it can be valuable to know who plays where and which of the outfield spots is deepest and which is kinda thin, so you can…

Celtics ML (+100 FD)I think this series is meant to go seven. Both of these teams are evenly matched and might be the two best teams remaining in the playoffs. Of the five wins in this series, three have come on the road so picking the road team doesn’t bother…

I’ve done a number of drafts so far this spring – some of which happened before we were even sure there would be a season and a few since the labor agreement was ratified. I have noticed some emerging trends so far in the last few weeks and a few…

How? Literally the question I was asking myself watching the Celtics choke away a 14 point lead with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter on their home floor. I mean you may as well not even show up for game six at this point. Giannis is making threes and…

This is a position where almost no one separates themselves from the pack. There’s one clear Alpha Dog – hitting 48 home runs in 2021 will do that for you; but then things even out really quickly. There are a few guys who are above average, but even the slightest…

Not in Jimmy’s house! What an absolute beat down by the Heat. That was the exact performance they needed. It absolutely took all the wind out of the Sixers’ sails heading into an elimination game. If you are in Miami, your confidence can not be any higher heading back to…

There was a time when dozens of big, burly, powerful first basemen roamed the countryside, looming over the rest of fantasy baseball like giant dinosaurs, crushing mammoth home runs and knocking in baserunners in record numbers. As light-hitting little middle infielders meekly scampered around on the ground beneath these skyscrapers,…

I know last time the masked man made us look bad and he did it again in game four, but it’s not going to happen in the Heat’s house. I don’t think Butler let’s Philly get a third win in a row. After these last two games, you have to…

1. TREA TURNER | LA Dodgers | Other Positions: SS-premium offensive player who only qualifies at 2B this year – a huge bonus. 2 OZZIE ALBIES | Atlanta– 30 HR/20 SB/100R/100RBI last year. Only behind Turner because no SS availability. 3 MOOKIE BETTS | LA Dodgers | Other Positions: RF,…

James Harden u20.5 points (-118 FD)We all know that James Harden has had his playoff struggles. In these current playoffs, he is averaging 18.8 points per game on 40.2 percent shooting (34.8 percent from three). That’s not terrible but not eye-popping either. In the two games against Miami, Harden has…

Every position around the diamond has its ups and downs in Fantasy Baseball. There was a time in the late 90’s when I first started playing that shortstop was a position where if you didn’t get one of the three big studs (Nomar, Jeter & A-Rod), it was a veritable…

Once your draft gets down to the dregs (anything after round 16), there’s always a point where you have to take some chances. Should you gamble on an experienced veteran who’s hoping to hold off the hot young prospect for one last good year in the sun or do you…

Congrats if you tailed off last night. That had to be one of the most epic and improbable comebacks I have ever seen. All the crazy stats are coming out, but one I did hear was that the Mets had never won a game trailing by six runs going into…

Now that we’ve ranked the pitchers, we’re going to start moving around the diamond, seeing which positions are the deepest and which ones look like you might not want to wait too long to grab one. Today we’ll start with third basemen. I’m not going to lie – it’s surprisingly…

We start the week off on the hardwood and head to Memphis. It’s game two between the Warriors and the Grizzlies. Memphis controlled their own destiny by being down one point with the ball in their hands with four seconds left and their best player getting the final shot. After…

It snuck into my email inbox quietly overnight. When I woke, there it was staring back at me: “******* has invited you to rejoin his Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball League for 2022”. I shook my head in disbelief, but then I realized: we’re just 8 weeks from the start of the…

What a roller coaster last night’s Mariners game was. Score five runs before recording an out and then just stinking for the whole game, allowing the Rangers to take the lead, tie it, and then blow it in the ninth. After that, I’m going to need a bit, so today…

The Rookie of the Year candidates this year are decidedly deeper on the American League side. I could make a pretty convincing argument that the top 10 potential rookie players this season will all be playing in the Junior Circuit. Nevertheless, they’re still going to give this award out in…

The 2022 season is upon us (finally). What a relief for fans and bettors alike. Baseball’s regular season is unlike any other sport’s – it means six months of having games to watch every day and bet on every day. One bet I always like to make before the season…

Bucks -2.5 at Bulls (-110 FD)Even with Khris Middleton out for Milwaukee, I don’t see a world where this team goes down 2-1 against the Bulls. I don’t care that the game will be played in Chicago. Giannis is easily the best player in this series. He won’t let his…

The NBA regular season is done and the seeding in each conference has been settled, but it ain’t like it used to be this year. For the first time in a non-bubble season, there will be a play-in tournament involving eight teams fighting for four playoff spots, eventually hoping to…

In the least surprising news of the week, it appears that the meeting between the MLB Players Association that took place on Tuesday February 1 ‘got heated’ and now a delayed season looks distinctly possible. Honestly, baseball fans should band together like WWE fans do. Whenever Vince McMahon & co….

Of the three outfield spots, this is by far the thinnest. Even on an MLB roster, very few guys are good enough athletes to play center field and it’s the only outfield position where a team might be willing to accept a reduced offensive profile from a player with elite…

It’s all winding down this week, folks. This is it – your last chance to watch regular season NBA games. After Sunday, you won’t be able to catch anymore national broadcasts featuring the Sacramento Kings or the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Detroit Pistons again until November. Oh, right –…

Is someone cutting onions in here? There seems to be some sort of salty, watery discharge coming out of my eyes this morning thinking of it being the last day of the regular season. I’m sad because it means the end of being able to bet on all 30 NBA…

Now that we finally can be certain that we’re actually going to have an MLB season this year, we can all start to look forward to fantasy baseball without having to wonder if it’s all going to  be a huge waste of time. The fact that they were able to…

With baseball season set to begin in the month of never, this list may all be a complete waste of time. By the team MLB owners figure out a way to squeeze every penny out of whatever few fans it will have left, you may not even be able to…

There are only four games on the schedule today and the first game (Indiana at Philadelphia) starts at 1pm, so it won’t be available for you in tournaments, leaving you just three games to choose from tonight. I might have normally taken today off because of that very slight schedule…

After taking a day off from making DFS picks yesterday – well, there weren’t any NBA games scheduled – Today marks the beginning of the final weekend of the NBA regular season and also the final weekend of being able to bet on players who are playing significant minutes at…

If I told you the Warriors were going to be up 12 points heading into the fourth quarter, would you take them to cover the spread? Yeah, me too. An inexcusable meltdown in the fourth quarter, getting outscored by 24 points, and the scary part is that Tatum had an…

Well, we made it into the fifth inning on our return to the diamond and everything fell apart. The two teams combined to go over the total in the fifth inning alone. We’re climbing back up on the horse and heading to Philadelphia, where the Phillies are hosting the Giants…

Sometimes there’s something on my mind as I sit to write this column early in the morning, making it easy to write a little blurb to preface my picks for the day. Today is not one of those days. It’s Opening Day of the MLB season and the opening round…

It’s a sad day when there is no basketball, but we have baseball to hold us over. We’re going to Canada for today’s matchup between the Blue Jays and the White Sox. The Blue Jays are coming into this game red hot, while the White Sox are treading water right…

I hate admitting this, but sometimes I get too cute with my picks. For some deep-seated psychological reason it’s somehow not good enough just to make smart bets by rostering players I feel confident will bring me a value return. Once in a while this strange compulsion grips me to…

HOUSTON ASTROS at BOSTON RED SOX 8:08 pm, FENWAY PARK PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62) vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74) MONEYLINE: Boston (-125 on DraftKings) OVER/UNDER: Under 9 (-115 on FanDuel) SPREAD: Houston+1.5 (-190 on BetMGM) The two championship series have been a study in contrasts. Both…

The Rockets did just as we thought they would last night; they hung around and ended up covering the huge spread. Tonight there is a team similar who has been covering tons of their games and should have tons of value in basically a meaningless game. We’re heading to Detroit…

We cashed in yesterday’s game just like we drew it up. Low scoring and the Rays take the lead in the latter stages of the game. Today we’re headed to Philly for a divisional matchup between the Phillies and the Mets. The Mets have started the season as the best…

After taking a day off from making DFS picks yesterday – well, there weren’t any NBA games scheduled – to enjoy the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game last night I’m feeling refreshed and ready to go. There are an even dozen games available to make picks from tonight, so we…

The Warriors beating themselves pretty much summed up last night’s game. You saw the back and forth and neither team is going to back down, but to have one guy score literally on the last like eight possessions in a row is terrible. Double-digit turnovers can’t happen. We wipe the…

It’s a sad yet exciting time of the year. The NBA regular season is all but over, but that means the playoffs are about to begin. The last few games can usually be a minefield with all the players being rested or scratched because of random injuries, but with this…

Yesterday, we took one on the chin as the Astros forgot how to play baseball and didn’t get one run across till the seventh inning. Today we’re going to be looking for a lot of runs and there’s no other place to look other than Coors Field. There are four…

Another close one. We were one Zack Greinke grunt away from losing yesterday, but we cashed and have another great matchup for today’s pick. We head to Texas for the all-Texas matchup where the Rangers are hosting the Astros and finishing up their series. Can Texas avoid the sweep? Let’s…

Most tournaments today are eight-gamers and won’t include any of the earlier afternoon games, which is kind of a shame because trying to guess who’s going to be in or out or ‘healthy’ or ‘injured’, especially in the Detroit/Indiana game, would have been fun. Nevertheless, there is a pretty high…

Just two weeks remaining in the NBA regular season schedule, folks. Pretty incredible, isn’t it? Think of how different things were just six months ago when the 2021-22 season began. Back in those simpler times, we all couldn’t wait to watch the newly refurbished Los Angeles Clippers and their crosstown…

A new week starts today, and we’re starting with a familiar face, just in a new place. It’s everyone’s favorite time of the week: Nick Pivetta Day. For good reason, we have highlighted most, if not all, of his starts and, for good reason, we will continue to milk this…

We grinded out another win from yesterday’s Blue Jays pick. Shockingly, Pivetta was not terrible, but in the end, we cashed our bet and the Sox ended up having a meltdown in the ninth with two outs and lost the game in extras. Today we’re moving on to another problem…

Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls – 8 pm CST on Bally Sports South – United Center, Chicago IL – POINT SPREAD: Miami -2.5 on PointsBet – OVER/UNDER: 217.5 on Caesar’s – MONEYLINE: Bulls +115 on DraftKings – So, your first question is: “Mike, why in the hell are you writing…

We cashed in on yesterday’s play as the Blue Jays were in control of the game pretty much from start to finish after Pivetta had another terrible performance. We’re packing our bags and heading west to go out to Seattle for the Mariners game. Texas started the season hot but…

Villanova, Kansas, Duke, North Carolina.  The Final Four is set and it’s filled with blue blood. It’s not often that four prestigious schools make the final weekend of March Madness without an unexpected team slipping through the cracks.  Most brackets didn’t have these four battling it out, but Rom Eugene’s…

The NBA season is on the horizon, and with professional sports essentially taking the day off tomorrow outside of the NHL, what better time than to bring you a couple of our favorite future bets for this upcoming season. The Chicago Bulls win total of 42.5:Finally, Zach LaVine is going…

This begins our first full week of action in MLB and, frankly, it couldn’t come soon enough. Nothing says ‘warmer weather and summer days are on their way’ like watching a ball game (or listening on the radio) and maybe laying a few bets here and there. It’s comforting to…

We cleared the hook and cashed in on last night’s game with the over 8.5 in the Angels game. Even though we thought it would be the Astros doing most of the heavy lifting, a total doesn’t care which side prevails. Today we do have a side in what should…

It was on full display last night that the never say die attitude of the Bucks is real. As long as there is time left on the clock, that team is still trying to come back and win. Some teams have locked into playoff berths and some teams are locked…

We ended last week strong with the Red Sox going over 10 runs pretty easily. This week we’re going to pick up right where we left off. However, it may not be with the teams you expect. We’re heading to Houston for today’s pick in a game between the Astros…

I hate nights like last night. I didn’t do badly – most of my picks went pretty well – just not well enough to put me in the money. I was kind of like the Trail Blazers of recent vintage – not really in the race to win it all,…

I swear it’s one of the first things that they teach you in baseball– how to run the bases. We lost last night’s game on a base running error. It was a fairly clear line drive, and the runner at second froze and began to run back to second base,…

Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day and who knows what ungodly mayhem will ensue with those notorious pranksters in Vegas on that day (just kidding – they don’t joke around…like, ever.) Overall it’s been a positive month with one pretty rough week in the middle of it, but we’re looking pretty…

What a wild push in last night’s game, and as of the third inning, it was all that we could have hoped for. A few close calls, but we somehow managed a push, which in that scenario is basically like a win. Today we’re going to Philly, where two division…

It’s been a rough few days. One team loses multiple 20-point leads to one of the biggest choke jobs of the season, and now the hottest team in basketball gives up a 13-point halftime lead and chokes the cover away. All this leads me to tonight’s selections in the Nets…

The MLB season is in full swing and the NBA playoffs are about to tip off. Who said the holidays were the best time of year? It’s not much fun being an Orioles fan though, as these times of the year can be pretty rough. The O’s picked up their…

Another successful day on the diamond as the Mets were able to take care of business in the first five innings against the Phillies. I’ll be the first to say that Aaron Nola is a bit overrated. Scherzer got the job done, but everything looked off and he threw some…

With 11 games on the slate tonight, there are a lot of options available. Sometimes too much choice can be a negative thing and there are several games I’m not going anywhere near tonight and a few that I’m going to absolutely zero in on. Let’s dig in here and…

I like the value of the over with this pick. Last season, Yankees starter Gerrit Cole was not great against the Red Sox (4.91 ERA over 22 innings pitched). Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi was decent against the Yankees last year but was by no means dominant (3.71 ERA over…

That Utah game was one of the worst collapses I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s honestly sad because you can see that the team has talent, but they simply no longer gel well together. When you blow one 20+ point lead in a game, that’s awful enough, but…

(sings) “It’s the most…won-der-ful time…of the year.” I honestly don’t even know what the rest of that song is – I’m pretty sure it’s a Christmas tune – but that line pertains to this week perfectly so I’m stealing it. The fact that I’m pretending to sing – even in…

Last week was a week to forget, but luckily that is in the past and we are ready to start a new win streak. There is a spot tonight with a line that seems a bit off and it is centered around some guys that are questionable. We are looking…

It was a good start to the 2022 season with a win. Houston never trailed and sealed the W. Now it’s time for opening day part two. We’re heading north to the Rogers Center, where the Blue Jays are hosting the Rangers. The Blue Jays are going to be able…

I’ve been in a very personal, very frustrating war with my computer over the last few days – a war I’m clearly losing because today I’m writing this article on my wife’s laptop while mine remains in a repair shop. Perhaps her “Rose Gold” colored cover will provide me with…

The time has finally come. From lockouts to freshly cut grass, baseball’s opening day is here! The start of the 162-game race is about to begin. We head out west for what should be a year-long division rivalry. The Angels and the Astros start the season off in LA. So…

The calendar says it’s the end of March but the weather here in the Northeast is saying something different – more of a mid-January on Ice Planet Hoth kind of feel. So that’s nice. One way for us to warm ourselves up is to have a little bit of fun…

The 2021 season has been a very surprising one in both leagues. Many of the perennial preseason favorites to win the Cy Young Award in both the American League and National League have fallen out of contention this year, due to injuries, ineffectiveness, or legal troubles. Big name former winners…

This weekend a serious diversion from watching NBA games arrived in the form of March Madness. Even if you’re a hardcore, faithful NBA fan it’s difficult (okay, impossible) to watch a game between Portland vs. Indiana or Sacramento vs. Oklahoma City when every game in the college tournament is a…

Atlanta Braves at Houston Astros, Minute Maid Park 8:09 pmCharlie Morton (14-6 3.34) vs. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.14)MONEYLINE: Houston -136 on FanDuelSPREAD:  Atlanta +1.5 (-170) on DraftKingsOVER/UNDER: 8.5 (over -115) on BetMGM In a matchup that seemed impossible to imagine less than a week ago, the Astros and Braves are…

Computer malfunction yesterday forced me to take a day off from betting and DFS and this morning I’m currently typing this from my teenage daughter’s laptop. How long she’s able to actually function without it in her hands remains to be seen, so I’m going to race through this so…

Red Sox vs Astros over 9 runs (-115 FD)Starting for the Astros in this game is Luis Garcia. There is no other way around it, Garcia has been awful in two games this postseason. Over 3.2 innings total pitched, he’s allowed 10 earned runs including five in one inning against…

To be honest, this is a fun sucking pick. Nobody wants to see the 15-seed, St. Peters, lose. That said, I think the dream comes to an end this evening. After getting through the first weekend, St. Peters has been the talk of the tournament. They have been rockstars. Because…

Game three of the NLCS shifts to Los Angeles where the Dodgers have a lot of ground to make up as they dug themselves a two-game hole while they were in Atlanta. After one of the more generous check swing calls of all time, some are questioning whether the Dodgers…

With the NL Division series getting underway, we are now going to give you our road to the World Series in the National League. Let’s break down each series all the way up to the World Series. Braves vs. BrewersThis series is going to be a good matchup between two…

I’m convinced there’s a bigger reason why the Bulls can’t string together wins. Maybe they are trying to avoid playing Boston in the first round. At this point, I would avoid playing Boston, but giving up 13-0 runs and letting up 126 in back-to-back games and getting blown out in…

We’re now approximately halfway through a tumultuous 2021-22 NBA season. Phew – that was a lot. Take a breath and just be glad we made it this far without any significant stoppages. Thinking back over just the past few months, I’ve heard the names of at least 10 players being…

With the MLB playoffs upon us, we are going to be taking a look at the AL and breaking down the road to the World Series, which ends with our winner in the American League. Let’s highlight each series and take it all the way to the ship! White Sox…

The ALCS begins with one team that outside of New England, no one thought would really be in this series. The Rays broke the cardinal rule when facing the Sox in the playoffs… don’t piss off the boys from Boston. I mean, we have seen this story before in the…

Five games on the schedule tonight. Last time there was a thin schedule was Tuesday. I was debating with myself about even entering contests that night, but I went ahead and talked myself into it anyway and…yeah…well enough said about that. Last night was better and I think five games…

It is game one of the eastern conference finals and we’re in Miami. Let’s be honest, Boston put themselves in a better position to win their series with the Bucks’ At the end of the regular season, Milwaukee decided to sit everyone and ended up losing. The Celtics did not…

It all comes down to this; two of the league’s three 100 game winners go head to head with only one able to move on. Let’s break down our best bets here in game five of the NLDS. Giants ML (-106)The best ML F5 team was the Giants this season….

The Dog Days of Summer are winding down and the stretch run is about to begin. This year’s World Series will be hotly contested – every playoff team is genuinely capable of winning the whole thing and it will feature an intriguing combination of perennial favorites from the big markets…

It was a great spot for the Nets, but they couldn’t get the job done. They were able to battle back, but in the end, it was the defense that did them in again. They had actually taken the lead, and then they allowed the Grizzlies to go on a…

A do or die game here for the White Sox as they were able to rally and hold off the Astros in game three to keep their season alive. The Sox took a big gamble starting Dylan Cease over Carlos Rodon in game 3, but the gamble looks like it…

We won’t be able to use the ‘small schedule’ excuse tonight like I preemptively did last night (and I was right – should have taken the night off) because there are 11 games on the sked tonight, meaning we should all be able to find more than enough interesting plays…

Houston Astros vs. Chicago White Sox | 8:07 pm, Guaranteed Rate Field Houston leads the series 2-0 Pitching matchup: Dylan Cease vs. Luis Garcia ODDS: White Sox -115 (DraftKings) SPREAD: Astros +1.5 (FanDuel) OVER/UNDER: 8 (BetMGM) Well, the battle of the ancient managers hasn’t quite turned out so well for…

We are a little more than two weeks away from the playoffs beginning in baseball – in my opinion, the second-best sports postseason period besides March Madness. Every year without fail, there are huge moments, upsets and heroes that emerge out of nowhere. Just think of how much money you…

Well, the Knicks had a good chance last night. All they had to do was keep their heads down and grind out the last four minutes and they couldn’t get it done. We mentioned it was going to take a special night from Trae Young, and that’s exactly what we…

The ALDS is underway as the Astros took a one game lead in this series as their pummeling of Lance Lynn this season continued. He got knocked around for five runs before getting the hook in the fourth inning. The Astros jumped on Lynn early, and it proved to be…

With the madness on pause for today, we turn our attention back to the NBA. The season is winding down and teams are being eliminated from playoff contention, but in tonight’s matchup we have one team trying to stay in the playoff picture and one team trying to get them…

It’s October baby! Playoff baseball is here. Here are our top picks for Friday. Braves over Brewers (+135 DK)Will Brewers’ starter Corbin Burnes win the Cy Young award this season? Probably. That said, this afternoon will be his first ever postseason start. Burnes has been solid as a postseason reliever…

There are only four games on the NBA schedule tonight and I seriously considered taking today off from making recommendations, but there are enough opportunities tonight to make some smart DFS plays that I changed my mind. “Okay, wise guy – let’s see what you’ve got”, you think to yourself….

It’s the first day of Spring, everyone. Hopefully the weather will check the calendar, realize what day it is and start cooperating soon. I’m going to blame any bad DFS recommendations I’ve made over the past week or so on that stupid Daylight Savings Time nonsense. Now that spring is…

We’re headed into playoff season in Fantasy Basketball, which means that if you’re reading this article, you’re probably still in contention for your league title – which also means you still should be considering refining your roster. You can’t ever afford to be complacent. Even if you’ve cruised to this…

This one-game do-or-die playoff is one of the best things that MLB has done recently. It brings an unmatched level of excitement to start the postseason. This round is simple: win, you move on, lose, you go home. One game, one shot. What makes it even better is that it…

There are seven games in the evening that I’m choosing sneaky picks from this morning – two early afternoon games (Memphis/Houston and Portland/Indiana) aren’t useful for most tournaments (and no one wants to watch those games anyway, do they?), so they get ignored today. Be mindful that three of today’s…

With no head to head games having direct impact, we will focus on the best game on today’s slate. The Yankees have drawn the short straw in the race for the wild card, as they have the hardest closing series out of all the teams left in the wild card…

Iowa -3.5 at Maryland -105 DKIf Iowa is actually the number five team in the country, beating an unranked Maryland squad on the road should not be a problem. To be fair, Maryland has been great this season. Like Iowa, they are undefeated at 4-0. Led by the arm of…

There was only one game in the NBA last night and Saddiq Bey of the Detroit Pistons went off for 51 points, so I’m going to recommend him tonight and count it as part of my strategy for today, ok? I mean, I know you can’t actually use it but…

It’s a five team sprint to the finish line for the AL wild card and it couldn’t have been scripted any better, as four of the five teams are facing off in a head to head series that will most likely eliminate two of the five teams. The Jays, Yankees,…

After a brief pause yesterday to start the madness we are back today with two top picks in tonight’s NBA slate. The Nuggets win the other night extended our win streak to three in a row and we look to add two more tonight. First game we are looking at…

Oakland at Seattle Frankie Montas – 13-9, 3.48 ERA vs. Logan Gilbert – 6-5, 4.83 ERA MONEY LINE: Oakland -110 (DraftKings) RUNLINE: Oakland +1.5 (DraftKings) OVER/UNDER: 8 (-110) (DraftKings) If I told you in April that in 2021 the Seattle Mariners would have reigning AL Rookie of the Year Kyle…

Luka Doncic o30.5 points (-108 FD)Luka has been otherworldly as of late. In March, he is averaging 32.1 points per game. In those seven March games, he has scored at least 31 points in four of them. In one game against the Sixers this season, Luka poured in 33 points….

This is the series that will ultimately decide the winner of the NL East. Currently, the Braves hold a 2.5 game lead over the Phillies with a three-game series coming up. All Atlanta has to do is win two of the three to clinch the division. The best outcome for…

A few deep-ish cuts today because it’s a huge schedule so we’re going to want to seek out guys that might not be widely owned. 12 games tonight but then only one tomorrow, which seems like a strange scheduling quirk to me. Is St. Patrick’s Day really that big a…

Philadelphia (+1.5, +105 on DraftKings) at Atlanta (-1.5, -125 on DraftKings) Over/Under 7.5. The Phillies and Braves both expected to be competitive in this year’s National League East, but as they face off with the division title on the line here in the final week of the season, I’d bet…

Another season of fantasy baseball is winding down and though at this point it may feel like you can’t ‘move the needle’ any more and make a run at your league’s title, the recent trade deadline has shuffled some things around for a lot of MLB teams – especially those…

It was an easy win last night with the Suns. We move on to tonight’s top pick. We head to Washington, where the Nuggets will be coming to town to face the Wizards. Washington is on the outside looking in, sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, one spot…

One of the oldest and most looked forward to rivalries in sports is back again tonight.  The Red Sox and Yankees square off in Game 1 of a series that could end up sending the other packing out of the Wild Card. Both teams are currently in the top two spots…

Slim pickings tonight, friends. Only four games on the slate, so you’ll have to be shrewd. One thing working in our favor to play DFS tonight is the fact that a few of the eight teams playing tonight (Detroit, Indiana and Orlando) are among the worst defensive teams in the…

VIRGINIA -3 vs WAKE FOREST (-115 DK)Although Wake Forest is 3-0 this season and has outscored their opponents by a total of 80-40, they have not played a road game this season. Virginia will be tough at home. After losing last week at North Carolina by 20, they will also…

We head west for today’s top play. Both teams come into this game coming off of blowout victories. The Pelicans handled the Rockets, winning by 25. The Suns beat up on the Lakers, winning by 29. Both teams have been battling injuries to key players. The Pelicans are fighting to…

The battle continues in the race for the AL Wild Card. This series will likely decide which of these two teams will have a legit chance to compete for the last spot in the wild card and could have some outside impacts on a divisional race that is beginning to…

A nine-game slate to choose from tonight, but a few of them are not the least bit interesting to me in DFS play (Draymond Green returning to the lineup tonight makes the Warriors next to impossible to predict and I don’t want any Wizards players, like, ever.) There are two…

L.A. Dodgers at Colorado Rockies – Coors Field 8:40 pm EST Walker Buehler 14-4, 2.39 ERA vs. German Marquez 12-10, 4.16 ERA MONEY LINE: Dodgers (-222 on BetMGM), Rockies (+176 on FanDuel) AGAINST THE SPREAD: Dodgers (-2.5 on BetMGM) OVER/UNDER: +10.5 (-120) on DraftKings One team is the defending World…

I’m writing this having just finished watching the Suns and Bucks play Sunday afternoon in a rematch of last year’s Finals and man, if anyone tries to say that all regular season NBA games lack stakes or aren’t fiery or competitive or exciting just isn’t even trying to pay attention….

Interleague play is a mixed bag for bettors, filled with pitfalls and uncertainty. There is relatively little familiarity between the teams involved and therefore not a lot of history to go on. Therefore, looking at the teams’ recent play might be of more assistance to you as you try to…

While the NL Central is all but wrapped up, this game is still big for the Cards who have been the hottest team in baseball for the past two weeks, winning 9 of their last 10. They have secured a three-game lead for the last wildcard spot. With the season…

The most meaningful game on today’s slate is here, so we’re running back to this matchup. The Blue Jays are streaking and have climbed their way back into playoff contention. This young lineup is tearing the cover off the ball this season and has been a top five offense throughout…

Yesterday morning’s suggestions worked out pretty well, except for the fact that all of my cheaper plays were centered around rostering a lot of Jimmy Butler for a game against his former team, the Timberwolves. Instead, he didn’t play (neither did Victor Oladipo),  so hopefully you were able to lock…

The Blue birds are flying high and have forced their way back into the playoff picture after posting a scorching hot 9-1 stretch. They get their toughest test yet with the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa has played .500 ball lately but is still firmly atop the AL East. Tampa has…

After a shoddy 1-2 performance in yesterday’s NBA best bets, this contest is a great opportunity to bounce back. In this interconference matchup, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Last game out, Boston was able to defeat the Detroit Pistons, 114-103, and the…

The Phillies come into this game red hot, ripping off eight wins in their last 10 games and are closing in on the lead in the NL East division. The Brewers are still playing winning baseball going 6-4 over their last 10 and have a pretty solid hold on the…

Seven games on the slate tonight and none of them begin until 8pm – an advantageous evening of basketball for DFS sharps. The action will all take place in a concentrated period of time, meaning you won’t have to set a lineup before you know exactly what’s going on with…

Houston currently sits atop the AL West with a pretty strong hold on the division while the Mariners have fallen a bit over the past couple weeks. Seattle is not totally out of the picture in the West, but they are starting to fade quickly as far as the division…

Following a perfect 3-0 outing in last week’s best bets for the NBA, this game is a great opportunity to stay hot. In this interconference matchup, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Last game out, the Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks, 124-115,…

Today’s early game features two teams trying to avoid last place in the NL Central. The Pirates are not only trying to avoid finishing in last place but are also trying to avoid having the worst record in the Majors this season. The Cubs came into the season with high…

These two heavyweights will finish their series finale today in a potential playoff preview. So far in the head-to-head series, the Brewers lead the Giants 3-2. The Brewers are sitting pretty comfortably at the top of their division, while the Giants have the Dodgers breathing down their necks, which is…

Today’s sneakiness is very lineup dependent. A few of these recommendations will require you to keep updated on injury designations right up until games begin at 7pm. Today could be the perfect day to create a profile on Twitter. (It’s a cesspool of human garbage and a shouting silo for…

Houston now sits atop the AL West with a pretty strong hold on the division as the A’s have slipped a bit. Seattle is not totally out of the picture in the West, although they are starting to fade quickly as far as the division is concerned but they have a legitimate shot…

In a week where the madness is beginning, there is action at the highest level and we’re bringing two plays for today’s NBA slate. We have two teams in their respective conferences hanging on to their spot in the NBA playoffs. A loss for either could go a long way…

This series has big implications for the second spot in the NL wildcard race. The Reds currently hold the second spot in the NL wildcard, but a good series here for the Cardinals could completely change that. The Cards sit three and a half games behind Cincinnati for the second…

Al Horford o1.5 Threes (+136 FD)Horford has been a big part of the Celtics’ recent success. After looking washed for much of the season, he has anchored himself nicely in Boston’s frontcourt. More importantly for bettors, Horford has been hitting his threes as of late. In four straight games, the…

While it may be tempting to overlook the daily MLB betting slate because of the kickoff of football season, things are really heating up in the sport and there are always interesting matchups to make serious bread on. Aside from the traditional moneyline and runline plays, plenty of props for…

Golden State Warriors at Denver NuggetsThursday March 10, 2022Ball Arena Denver, CO 10 pm ESPN POINT SPREAD: Golden State -3.5 (BetMGM)OVER/UNDER: 221.5 (PointsBet)MONEYLINE: Denver +122 (FanDuel) These two contenders will meet for a second time already this week to battle again for playoff positioning in the tightly-contested Western Conference. If the…

It was a frustrating game last night as the Suns went up big several times and then proceeded to let the lead continually slip away and only ended up winning by three. The Magic destroyed them in the paint, scoring over and over again. It was obvious the Suns had…

This is probably the most one-sided matchup of the year here. The Rays have absolutely owned the Orioles this season leading the season series 15-1. The Orioles are just going through the motions at this point and just waiting for the year to come to an end. The Rays are…

There have been a lot of questions coming in today so let me be very clear – no, I am not a proxy laying bets for Calvin Ridley. These early look DFS columns are written by me only. Calvin and I haven’t spoken since I found out he was laying…

Two of the top teams in baseball will wrap up their series today in an afternoon game that is a can’t miss matchup. This is about as evenly matched as you can get and the head-to-head series has been back and forth all season with Chicago holding a one game…

Coming off one of the worst beats of the entire season, where if you were a Suns +9 bettor, you never want to hear about it again, but for those of you who don’t know, the Suns actually had a one-point lead with just about three minutes to go in…

This is sadly a tale of two lost seasons for these teams. The Rockies started the season with little hope of making it to the playoffs after they sold off a good part of their offense. The Cubs had high expectations before a first half of the season lead turned…

Eight games on the slate tonight – pretty busy for a Monday and pretty rife with interesting plays throughout. Last week was not the best one for me and my DFS plays, so as much as Mondays can suck for a lot of folks, I’m choosing to look at today…

Playoff races are taking shape and this series could play heavily into both of these teams’ futures when it comes to the playoffs. Currently, Oakland sits a half game back in the AL Wild Card and Seattle sits three and a half games back. These teams come into this series…

Although it’s a Monday in the thick of August and interesting games to bet on are hard to come by, if you are a money addicted degenerate, you have been blessed with this fresh MLB slate. Since the NBA Finals, there has been a steady drought of captivating action in…

Not going to lie – it’s not been the best week of my personal DFS history, with a couple of nights I’d rather forget about. Today’s schedule is a tricky one to make a comeback with, too – as a few early games will remove some options and leave us…

As the MLB heads into the home stretch of the regular season, postseason starts to creep in, and for teams inside or just outside of the bubble, each game has greater impact on their playoff dreams. Due in part to the massive payroll gap between organizations, the writing is on…

If you’re able to stay awake during this one, it could come up being a good game… if you like runs. Both of these teams came into the season with high expectations, but unfortunately, both have gone down the road of selling off top players in order to get some…

As we head into march, a pressing question presents itself to writers who cover the NBA : when are we allowed to break out the cliches? Like, are we allowed to start talking about the season heading into the ‘stretch run’ yet? Can we start using the term ‘nitty gritty’…

Following a perfect 3-0 outing in Friday’s best bets for the NBA, this game is a great opportunity to stay hot. In this interconference matchup, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks host Deandre Ayton and the Phoenix Suns. Last game out, the Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls, 118-112, whereas the…

The Dodgers look to stay in the running in the race for the NL West as they wrap up their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. This will be a battle of the unknowns as Mitch White will start against Ranger Suarez; both pitchers combined have started three games this season….

Tonight’s slate is a weird one and, even more than usual, might end up being a true “Stars and Scrubs” situation for your roster because of limited options. Because today’s Kings/Mavericks game has a strange 5 pm start time, there will probably only be 5 games available for you to…

This was supposed to be their year, and for all intents and purposes, it was until recently. The Phillies were cruising along sitting in first or second place, Bryce Harper was getting NL MVP whispers and now they find themselves in the middle of a slump and a surging Braves team burying…

We finally drop another after the Grizzlies have one of their worst shooting nights of the season and barely make it over the 100 point mark. We jump right back in and head over to the west for tonight’s matchup. The Jazz are fully healthy and the Pelicans have what…

The Mets will continue their West Coast road trip as they wrap up their series with the Giants. The Mets have been playing inconsistent baseball since the break going 13-19, but the real trouble has been when they go on the road, just 4-9 since the break and are 1-7…

Darius Garland o2.5 threes (+100 FD)On the season, Cleveland’s break-out All-Star guard is averaging just over 2.5 threes made per game. His three-point percentage is a respectable 38.2 percent. More recently, Garland has been white-hot from deep. Since the beginning of February, he is shooting over 50 percent from three….

One of the best rivalries in sports and the best rivalry in baseball is back. This series could have big implications on this year’s playoff race. The Yankees currently sit two and a half games behind the Red Sox for second place and a sweep could catapult the Yanks squarely…

Is it getting drafty in here? Oh, no – that’s just the cold chill I’m feeling from looking at some of my picks last night. Brrr. Overall, nothing tragically catastrophic, but just kind of ‘meh’ enough to not really click and put me among the money winners, which sometimes feels…

Dodgers vs Mets: Playoff Races Heating UpYou know it’s going to be a good playoff race when games in mid-August start to show playoff implication. The Wild Card is coming out of the NL West this season in some combination between the Padres, Dodgers, and Giants. That puts more emphasis…

A wise man once told me, “Say yes to the opportunity and figure out the details later.” Someone should have told Dennis Schroder this advice as he just lost a lot of money. Schroder rejected a four year 80+ million dollar deal with the Lakers earlier in the offseason and…

Following a solid performance in last week’s best bets for the NBA, these games are a great opportunity to stay hot. In this Eastern Conference matchup, DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Last game out, the Bulls were defeated by the Atlanta Hawks,…

Luka Don Rich is more like it. The Mavs star resigned a huge extension with the club a five year $207 million supermax contract to be exact. The question now becomes who will the Mavs get to play alongside Luka as it appears Porzingas being the Robin was a flop….

It took a little longer, but we got the job done with another win last night. Moving onto tonight, we have a heavyweight matchup between the Grizzlies and the Celtics. The Grizzlies will basically be at full strength, and the Celtics will try and take the bear without Jaylen Brown….

After taking yesterday off (load management), we’re back in the saddle today with a slate of 7 games to look forward to. At first glance – which FYI is about 8 a.m. – there don’t seem to be a lot of values that hit you in the face right away,…

After last night’s annoying push, we turn to an Eastern conference matchup today between two teams with not a lot going for them. The Pacers are trying to reshape their roster after making some moves at the trade deadline as well as dealing with some injuries. The Magic seem to…

Yesterday we did all of our shopping in the bargain basement here on Sneaky Picks (which, BTW, paid off pretty well last night). Today I’m starting off shopping in the most expensive part of the store and then working my way down to the basement from there. Hey, I’m not…

We will continue to stay hot on the court tonight as March begins. With an active 10-2 run, I look to stretch it to 11 tonight. At the beginning of the season, you might have thought the Lakers and Mavs would be in a playoff matchup. Fast forward to now,…

So…how’s February gone for you? If you live anywhere in the Northeast where I am, I already know that it has been an unpleasant one, weather-wise. Other than that, though – how did your DFS plays go overall this month? It’s been an interesting one for DFS betting but it…

Today is the pain-in-the-ass staggered schedule, where you probably won’t be able to put all of the bargains you find in the same tournament lineup. So, make sure as you’re sorting out your budget that you are picking from the right games. Pay attention to things today, as you know,…

Following a perfect 3-0 performance in yesterday’s NBA best bets, this contest is a great opportunity to stay hot. In this Western Conference matchup, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Last game out, Golden State was able to easily take care of…

Only 6 games tonight, so you may have to work a bit harder to find plays you like. Remember to wait as long as possible before submitting your lineups – with a smallish schedule you need every informational advantage you can find and a lot of it reveals itself as…

I’m not sure why Miami can’t shoot threes all of a sudden, but it sure was their downfall in game five. Along with passing the ball when you have cupcake shots down low. I’m not sure what the game plan was, but they sure looked like they were going to…

A nice easy win to start off the week. Dallas finally got more aggressive and the other team members were able to step up and finally help Luka. Tonight, our attention returns to Miami, where the Heat will play game five of their series against the Celtics. Can Miami avoid…

We pick up on the hardwood with one exciting series and one lopsided one. Tonight we’re heading back to Dallas for the do or die matchup with the Mavericks. It’s almost like the odds makers have waived the white flag, making the Warriors only a one-point dog in an elimination…

Warriors -6 (-114 FD) So far this postseason, Golden State is 7-0 at home. Tonight, they will host Dallas in Game Two of the Western Conference Finals. I expect the Warriors to continue their winning ways at the Chase Center. Although Luka is nothing short of amazing for the Mavs,…

I don’t think we have had a game that easy in a long time. The Warriors’ basically wire-to-wire victory easily covers the 5.5. We called it spot on that the Mavs would have trouble defending the different style the Warriors presented. Now it’s time to see if they make the…

What a tale of two halves last night’s game was. The defensive adjustments were exactly right for Miami and it showed as Boston was visibly frustrated by the end of that third quarter beat down. If Miami can take game two at home as well, this might be a shorter…

The Celtics definitely answered the bell in game two, smashing the Heat. It looked like it was going to be a long night for Boston, and before the first quarter had ended, Boston had erased a 10 point deficit and created a lead of their own. Moving onto game two…

The 2021 NBA Draft has a chance to be historic. 20 years from now there is a strong chance that We make our return to the hardwood tonight as the post-all-star games have begun and the playoff races are taking shape. Today’s highlighted matchup features two teams headed in the…

Didn’t that feel good last night? So satisfying just to click those lineups into action after having been forced to wait for a whole week without being able to play DFS NBA (and if you had a successful night and came out ahead – even more satisfying!). Now that you’ve…

James Harden o9.5 Assists (-124 FD)As most of us are well aware, James Harden will be making his highly anticipated debut for the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. I think Harden will be dishing the rock heavily in this game. On the season, Harden is averaging 10.2 assists per game. Over his…

After a subpar 1-2 performance in yesterday’s best bets for the NBA, these games are a great opportunity to bounce back. While we’re still months away from the NBA playoffs, these matchups are still competitive and intense that feature the top teams around the league. With strong competition in both…

It’s the last full week of NBA action before the All-Star break happens on the weekend of the 18th to the 20th of February. There have already been a few significant trades made the last few days (Caris Levert to Cleveland, Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Clippers) and…

The 2021 NBA Draft has a chance to be historic. 20 years from now there is a strong chance that basketball fans will look back in awe at what riches that year’s draft class offered, even well beyond the first few picks. Following a rather underwhelming All-Star weekend in the…

We’re reunited and it feels so good. After a whole week without any NBA games to watch or place bets on, the association’s all star break is finally over. Seven games on the schedule tonight and, despite the dearth of activity and news over the last seven days, there are…

As we cruise into the all-star break on a 9-2 run, we are going to break down three teams from the East and the West that could win it all. We’re going to include two front runners and one dark horse from each conference. Eastern Conference: Bucks:You can’t leave out the…

The 2021 NBA Draft has a chance to be historic. 20 years from now there is a strong chance that basketball fans will look back in awe at what riches that year’s draft class offered, even well beyond the first few picks. In my opinion, here are the top three…

It’s still nearly two months until the NBA season begins, but that doesn’t mean that betting opportunities aren’t already revealing themselves for the 2021-22 season. Vegas has set the odds and, while there are some slight variances in different sports books, there are some over/under numbers that appear to be…

The odds for who will win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award were recently released and they are generally predictable. This makes sense. Due to basketball’s relatively small roster size and the even smaller amount of players who actually contribute enough to be considered for MVP votes, the list of…

What a comeback by the Brooklyn Nets, with Cam Thomas having a fourth quarter of a lifetime and a deep dagger three to cap off one of the biggest comebacks in Nets history. With that comeback win, we’re 8-2 for the month and look to add one more before the…

Well it is only a small five-game schedule tonight before we take a few days off for the NBA All-Star Game, so we’re going to have to dig a bit deeper for bargains tonight. There may still be enough room here to make a roster that can come out ahead….

Following a tumultuous trade deadline in the NBA, the league has a fresh, new landscape after this huge shake-up that will make, or break teams’ hopes of making the playoffs. In this Eastern Conference matchup, Julius Randle and the New York Knicks host their cross-town rivals, the Brooklyn Nets. Last…

The NBA knows that after tomorrow, we DFS folks will have to take a bit of a break, relying on only All-Star Game weekend prop bets for a few days as the rest of the league’s players take a well-deserved break. They’ve slotted in a gargantuan schedule of 11 games…

The trading deadline has now passed and the ground has at least started to settle beneath the players who’ve been jettisoned around the country, suddenly thrust into new roles on new teams in new cities. Now that we’ve seen most of them play a game or two, we have some…

The battle for New York is on tonight in the Garden. The big names will still be out for the Nets, and everyone besides Barrett for the Knicks is scheduled to be on the floor. With both teams struggling, this won’t be the usual star-studded event we’ve grown to love,…

Well – how did you do on Valentine’s Day? No – not in that way – I meant your DFA plays. I’m not your therapist, I’m your DFS picks consultant. Let’s not get the relationships confused. At the risk of oversharing, my night was…mixed…and let’s just leave it at that….

The deadline has come and gone, the WOJ bombs have dropped, and we’re going to visit one of the blast sites with tonight’s pick. The Pelicans were able to get CJ McCollum from Portland in one of the trades that is already paying off for them. The team just looks…

This story hit like a tsunami in the sports landscape over the last few days and the reverberations will likely continue for some time as the waves of revelations continue. Just when the Super Bowl should be the only NFL story on anyone’s mind, Brian Flores’ scorched earth lawsuit has…

It’s Valentine’s Day today, so if you’re going to be making DFS picks today, my advice is to set your lineups just before you go out for dinner and then forget about them. Don’t check your phone until tomorrow morning – think of the anticipation! Besides, NBA schedulers did all…

It’s All-Star Game week, everyone! Cue the polite golf claps as Team LeBron and Team Durant get ready to put on a defensive exhibition the likes of which no one has ever seen before (JK – I was just making sure you’re paying attention). Before the festivities begin in Cleveland…

A big schedule of games to choose from again today as the NBA prepares to (almost) take a day off from action tomorrow to leave room as the Super Bowl dominates the Sunday sports broadcasting landscape. Yesterday’s slate proved rewarding, so let’s hope this little heater we’re on can continue…

It’s been a weird season. Covid-19 outbreaks wreaked havoc on the rosters of almost every NBA team at one point or another, meaning that a lot of players who were going to be counted on as mainstays of your 2021-22 fantasy team were inactive for at least a week or…

Now that the dust has settled from a crazy trade deadline, there will be some interesting roster shifts happening in the NBA, starting today. Some teams’ rotations will look different – with some players that used to be good value plays being bumped down in their teams’ rotations (generally on…

The Raptors got off to a slow start but roared all the way back to a nine-point lead at the half, giving us an easy cover and another cash. Today we shift to an eastern conference matchup that highlights two teams heading in two different directions. Can the new-look Pacers…

Lu Dort OVER 2.5 Threes (+102 FD)Over four games in February, Dort is averaging 3.8 made threes per game. Lately, he’s been chucking threes like it’s nobody’s business. This month, Dort averaged just under 10 threes attempted per game. Tonight, against the Sixers, I expect Dort to continue his three-point…

Just as I always talk about the importance of having a short memory when you’ve had a bad night playing your preferred DFS picks, I advise the same thing after you’ve had a good night, too. Last night a lot of my picks clicked and I came out ahead –…

It’s hard to imagine that this same Nets team is the same team that bookmakers still have as the favorite We were cruising along yesterday when, after an insane 9-0 run in just over a minute, we had a push on our hands and Gary Trent Jr. blessed us with…

The trading season is officially going bananas, especially in a few of the NBA’s less glamorous markets like Sacramento, Indiana and Portland. Those three teams have been playing a bit of havoc with the DFS world – one of my picks to click for yesterday, Damontas Sabonis, got traded between…

Even though these are the dog days of the NBA season, these games have proven to be quite profitable if you’re able to spot the hotter and more motivated team. For this Western Conference matchup, Donavan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Last…

Why a Fan Gave Brady Back His Personal $500,000 Football. By Mike Shara Let’s be honest – sports fans, and sports in general – could use some positive P.R. Ask an intelligent non-sports fan about what they think of hardcore sports fans and the answers are not likely to be…

We were spot on yesterday and cruised to an easy win as the Celtics dominated that game from start to finish. We shift now to tonight’s matchup between Toronto and the Thunder. OKC was already having a rough season, and now their star point guard will be sidelined for multiple…

Finally we have a bevy of DFS options on the slate for tonight – none of this 4-or-5-games-to choose-from nonsense. It’s a massive 10 game cornucopia of games. Surely to God we can find a few places to sneak around and discover some hidden gems. It’s not as easy as…

It’s hard to imagine that this same Nets team is the same team that bookmakers still have as the favorite to win it all. I know it’s a different team with Harden and Durant on the floor, but you have one guy who has been out for an extended period…

Well yesterday was a weird one. If you predicted that Blake Griffin would have five three-pointers in the first half of yesterday afternoon’s game in Denver or if you had Jaxon Hayes going off for 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals with a +14 in just 28 minutes then…

Now that there is only one NFL game remaining on the schedule and it’s two weeks from now, the NBA schedule makers can really dominate the national broadcasting landscape of pro sports for the next while. They’ve clearly made some adjustments accordingly – there isn’t a day this week that…

Back in the saddle after taking a day off yesterday (load management), we’ve got 8 different NBA games to choose DFS plays from today – although some contests won’t include all eight because of staggered starting times throughout the day, so be sure to check which players are available in…

I had a very good lineup of sneaky picks all set to be released unto the world yesterday – and as it turned out, 4 of 5 of them had great games last night. A pro tip to all you would-be sports writers out there, though  – when you’ve written…

Lamelo Ball over 35.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-111 FD)If I’m Lamelo Ball, I’m flat-out furious that I wasn’t selected for the All-Star Game. And for that, I would want to ball out to show the league what a mistake they made. Tonight against the Cavs, that is what I expect. In his…

This week is the week that almost everyone’s league begins their playoff season. It is also going to be the most chaotic week, roster-wise in the NFL this season. Roster madness is happening right now – not just because of the usual myriad of injuries, but because of the fourth…

It was a close first half, but then the offense was too strong and we cashed as the Timberwolves pulled away in the second half and covered the number. Today we’re heading to Texas, where two underperforming teams, the Spurs and the Rockets, are going to be facing off. Can…

A solid two and a half quarters is never enough to get the job done. The Nets completely fell apart in the second half and lost the game outright by 11. We look to start a new streak with an interesting scenario here where these two teams will play against…

It’s Groundhog Day, everyone! With any luck the players I’m looking for tonight will see their own reflections today, making it a successful one for your bets and DFS activity that will be repeated over and over again for the next six weeks. Maybe there will be a little less…

Following a slow first half, the Pelicans were able to rally, allowing the Pistons to score only 36 second-half points on their way to a 10-point victory, bringing us to 5-0 in our last five games. Today we’re headed to the west coast for a matchup with the Nets and…

A new month begins. Overall, January was a productive one for me in DFS picks, as I came out ahead despite a few absolutely brutal nights. February 1 begins the NBA’s sprint towards the trade deadline (Feb 10) and the All-Star weekend (Feb 18-20), so there will be plenty of…

Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans, 8:15 pm, Nissan Stadium (Nashville, TN) MONEYLINE: Buffalo -305 (DraftKings) SPREAD: Tennessee +6 (-110 on BetMGM) OVER/UNDER: Over 53.5 (-110 on FanDuel) You see it in sports all the time – good teams only can become great teams once they’ve beaten up the bully that…

We finished last week on a 5-0 run and look to start this week off right with this matchup. The books are showing a lot of faith in the Pistons, giving them the nod as a 2.5 favorite. The Pelicans have some injury concerns, and the Pistons come into this…

Technically there are seven games on the NBA schedule today, but it’s likely you’re only going to be able to find DFS contests that include the five later games, so we’ll focus on those. That’s probably for the best, anyway – you’ll want to check injury updates before submitting your…

Having not looked ahead in the schedule, I was assuming tonight might be a night off from DFS play, given that it was a Monday night, which is usually a light night in the association. I was surprised/delighted to see that not only are there 8 games to choose from…

After spending the weekend watching what was, unquestionably, the best two days of NFL playoff football in the league’s storied history, you now have six full days to enjoy watching – and betting on – NBA action. You’d better get into the habit of enjoying basketball now – there are…

Six games tonight. I debated sitting this one out, because last time I pushed it a bit on a small schedule of games and the results were abysmal, frankly (but keep reading – it gets better). That was on Monday, when there were only four-games slated. Tonight, there are six…

Even though these are the dog days of the NBA season, these games have proven to be quite profitable if you’re able to spot the hotter and more motivated team. For this interconference matchup, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors host James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets. Last game…

After the starters for the NBA All-Star Game were announced yesterday, I am feeling vindicated. Several of the players named to start the game have been guys I’ve relied heavily on in DFS this year. I’m glad they’re being rewarded for winning me a bit of cash this season. This…

Following another 2-1 performance in Thursday Night Football’s edition of ‘Best Bets’, these picks continue to be a roaring success. Last week’s +54000 9-leg parlay still feels surreal. If you haven’t seen this massive bet I cashed, check it out on the SGG Twitter page to have your mind blown….

After a short slate yesterday, we will double the picks today and try to keep the streak alive. LeBron barely missed yesterday’s game, and it was ugly. You know that didn’t sit well with the King. With the injury not expected to be serious and the result of him not…

Jayson Tatum OVER 38.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-115 FD)Over the past week or so, Tatum has been on fire. Over his last three games, he is averaging 38 points per. If Tatum can score in the 28-30 range tonight against a Hawks team that doesn’t love to play defense, the remaining rebounds…

The futures game is a fun one to play, and when you look at preseason odds it can be the most rewarding financially too. Around this time of the year, NBA bettors and fans love to play Nostradamus and put their money where their mouth is about their hunches. Most…

Week Six of the Fantasy Football season is upon us and you know what that means – Bye Weeks have begun. That’s right, sports fans, this weekend will be the first time you’ll have to adjust your roster in weekly leagues to accommodate players who are spending a week relaxing…

I mentioned last week how weird the fantasy season has been this year. If I had to guess, if you’re reading this, your team is probably either 2-3 or 3-2. In my current 10-person league, seven people match that criteria. The variance has been apparent. As we move forward towards…

Bettors look at a lot of factors before laying their money down. Any and all information is valuable if it’s weighed properly. Each sport has its own unique list of factors for bettors to consider, and certainly NFL football – the undisputed King of betting sports – has as many…

The fantasy football season has sadly come to a close. If you are reading this, I hope that you found yourself winning a league. If not, I hope that you at least earned your money back. That didn’t happen either? Well, I hope you had fun. This season had many…

Well, after a rollercoaster of a game, the Giants simply could not hang on and go down. We’re switching back to the hardwood as tonight is game one of the NBA Finals. Will Tatum and the Celtics cap off their heroic run through the playoffs, or will the Warriors raise…

The NFL regular season begins Thursday night and smart bettors are waiting to gather as much information as possible before laying bets for 2021. Other than injuries, which are impossible to predict, there is likely no more important factor for them to consider at the outset of a season than…

In this AFC matchup, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills travel to Arrowhead Stadium where they take on Pat Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, the Chiefs were able to thrash the Pittsburgh Steelers, 42-21, and the Bills also demolished their opponent, the New England Patriots, 47-17. With…

For this NFC playoff contest, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams travel to Raymond James Stadium to face off against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I recently wrote about five NFL teams that experts all expect to contend for this year’s Super Bowl. It isn’t a surprising list, really – those five teams (including last year’s Super Bowl teams from Kansas City and Tampa) would be among the first to be mentioned as contenders by…

And then there were eight. After an overstuffed schedule that saw 6 playoff games in a weekend for the first time in history, some reseeding after a couple of moderate upsets and a few days to get the hype train rolling again, the NFL playoffs resume Saturday. This weekend has…

Following a relatively uneventful, yet profitable, Wild Card weekend in the NFL playoffs, these divisional contests are lined up to be exciting games from start to finish. In this AFC matchup, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Nissan Stadium where they take on Derrick Henry and the Tennessee…

The NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award is more challenging to handicap than its offensive partner, because even more than OROY, the eventual winner will be affected by the situation they find themselves playing in. Not many rookies start immediately on the defensive side of the ball, and if…

In this Monday Night NFC Wild Card action, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals travel to SoFi Stadium to face off against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Last week, the Rams were defeated by the San Francisco 49ers in an overtime thriller and Arizona also suffered a loss…

Week 18 just sounds weird, doesn’t it? I had just gotten used to saying, “Week 17” and now this? Something tells me it’ll only be a matter of time before the owners will have these men playing 25 games a year. With that said, it isn’t a total cash grab…

Cardinals (-2.5)With two NFL games scheduled on this holiday, this primetime matchup will be the cherry on top of this terrific slate of games. The Cardinals opened this game as five-point home favorites, but the line has tumbled all the way down as the Cardinals are just a slim two…

Well, I hope that you were able to begin your fantasy playoff week with a boom by starting someone like Deebo Samuel (9 receptions for 152 yards AND 5 rushes for 32 yards) or the ascendant A.J. Brown (11 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown). I also sincerely hope…

Say what you will about your personal feelings on Covid-19 and how it’s been dealt with (actually, no – please don’t say anything – no one cares about your thoughts on that), but a small benefit for football fans and bettors alike is that there was NFL football to watch…

For many leagues, we have arrived at the point of fantasy playoffs. For other leagues, this week marks the end of the regular season. No matter where your league stands, I believe this week is a good week to share my one key fantasy football playoff rule. This one is…

Sort of a middling weekend of football in Week 13, no? I mean, the Bills/Patriots Monday night game was close right up to the end, but it wasn’t exactly chock full of breathtaking plays. Belichick’s defensive schemes have once again apparently broken offensive football as we knew it. The Steelers…

New results every week. Today is the NBA’s day off, so we’re heading back to the diamond. It’s not the most exciting game you’re going to watch outside of being an Orioles or Cubs fan, but that’s where we are headed for today’s matchup. Both teams are struggling this season,…

Alright, so we are headed back to the hardwood for game three of the NBA finals. Boston has fared much better this postseason playing on the road, and the Warriors have not played well on the road. Do the Celtics try to make a statement on their own floor after…

As we predicted, the Celtics took care of business last night. As times grow sad and we realize that at most there are four games left in the NBA season, we’re reminded that we have crossed over the 90 day threshold for the NFL to start. For today, we’re heading…

It sure is nice when they come easily. We cashed the over in the Yankees game with no problem. Tonight brings us back to the hardwood for game four of the finals. What’s surprising me, and I haven’t seen it at least, is that no one is describing what the…

Starting the week off on the diamond we’re going to Philly for today’s play, where they host the Marlins. The Phillies took off after firing their manager, Joe Girardi. Can they keep up the winning ways? The Marlins look to inch closer to a .500 record with a win tonight….

It’s a nice way to start the week with an easy win. We will stay on the diamond today as the NBA is off until tomorrow night. We’re going to the Big Apple, where the Mets host the Brewers. The Mets are battling with their cross-town rivals, the Yankees, for…

Well, we had a complete flip of the script yesterday in the Mets game as the Brewers finally found their offense and exploded for 10 runs. Today we move back to the hardwood as we go into game six of the finals. The Warriors are one win away from another…

I was about to cash another one, but it fell apart in the eighth. Today we’re heading to Milwaukee for what should be a good game between the Blue jays and Brewers. The Brewers finally got things turned around after a terrible slump and are coming into this one after…

It’s a new week and we’re going to start it off with a familiar face as we’re heading to Washington for today’s play. The Pirates are in town for a series that I’m sure outside of those two canvases, not many people are watching. Even though these two teams are…

Arizona may have been the 48th State to join the United States but they didn’t wait that long to legalize sports gambling. The Grand Canyon State will launch online sports gambling on September 9. That means you no longer have to research every other day if Arizona sports betting is…

In this week’s outlook, I am going to give you a few players worth starting and a few players not worth starting. Let’s dive in. Running BacksJames Conner is definitely worth a start. This week, the Cardinals face the Seahawks. Against running backs this season, the Seahawks have allowed the…

Much to bettors’ chagrin, the NFL continues to be as unpredictable as ever. Last week nearly as many underdogs won their games outright (5) as favorites covered the spread (6). Teams that were left for dead (San Francisco, Carolina, Philadelphia, Miami and Washington) all played what might have been their…

For this AFC matchup, head coach John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens travel to Miami to face off against coach Brian Flores and the Dolphins. In Week 9, Miami handled the Texans…

If you’re reading this article, I’m going to assume you’re still alive in your league and are looking to reach the playoffs. Let’s face it, if your team is currently 2-7, you’ve given up and are already planning for your fantasy baseball draft in late March. You’re the guy still…

Well, I hope you didn’t bet many favorites in Week 9, because chances are that if you did, you’re regretting it today. It was an absurd week of upsets, with no less than five first place teams (the Bills, Rams, Raiders, Cowboys and Packers) losing their games outright. Other favorites…

Welcome to Week 9 of the fantasy football season! With players going down left and right, this is the time where leagues are won, either with team depth or shrewd moves on the waiver wire. If you have one of those teams with tremendous depth, awesome for you! Not all…

Following an 0-3 outing on MNF’s edition of ‘Best Bets’, these picks have been quite volatile the past week. However, this Thursday night contest should turn out to be profitable. In this AFC matchup, rookie running back Michael Carter and the New York Jets look to steal one on the…

Following an abysmal 0-3 outing in last week’s ‘Best Bets’, the slate has now officially been wiped clean in preparation for this Week 8 schedule. Lessons were learned as a result of this outcome and for this slate I can guarantee at least a 2/3 ratio. Although it’s been a…

For this non-traditionally exciting Thursday night matchup, two titans of the NFC go head to head as they fight for playoff contention. From State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. With the Cards at 7-0 and Green Bay…

With six teams on bye for Week 7, this slate is somewhat limited with action. However, there are some fun matchups with big time locks to bet on this Sunday. Amazingly, this NFL regular season is almost halfway over, so don’t take weeks like these for granted. While most of…

There was some talk going into Week 6 that, even though the Arizona Cardinals were undefeated with a 5-0 record, the best team in the NFL could be playing up north in Buffalo (for proof, just look at the bet I made for Monday Night’s game between the Bills and…

It’s streamers week! With six teams having their bye this week, including three fantasy juggernauts (Bills, Chargers, and Cowboys), it is probably safe to assume that you will be starting some backups. Today’s outlook will cover some streamers at each position that I like for this week’s matchup. QuarterbackI’m not…

It has been a very profitable season so far especially for these primetime games, so these Monday night picks carry a lot of weight. For this NFC showdown, head coach Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks host the New Orleans Saints and coach Sean Payton. New Orleans comes into this…

Week Seven of the NFL season brings with it a number of good teams with rosters full of good Fantasy Football players enjoying their bye week. Dallas, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Minnesota and the Chargers all have this week off, meaning it’s very likely you have at least one player you’d normally…

For this AFC matchup, Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns look to defend home field against Teddy Bridgewater and the Denver Broncos. While the Broncos…

I’m sure most of you thought that a team that has never won a Super Bowl, has only appeared in the Super Bowl once, plays in the toughest division in the sport and finished last season with an 8-8 record would be the only unbeaten team at this point in…

This Thursday night contest yields another fun matchup between two NFC squads and there are a lot of interesting plays and props to wager on. In this match, the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to Philadelphia to face off against the Eagles and QB Jalen Hurts….

For this Monday night contest, we have a tremendous matchup where there is a lot of money to be made. In this AFC showdown, QB Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Carson Wentz. One squad comes into this one with all the momentum at…

Now that these football picks are 13-5 in the last 18, it’s important to choose carefully whether to tail or hedge this edition of ‘Best Bets’. Last week’s betting strategy of using value as the primary factor in these picks worked wonders and will be a key point of emphasis…

The football has been weird this season. To my eye, there are plenty of good teams but not one super great team. Fantasy-wise, things have been a bit strange too. Yes, the Derrick Henry’s and Tyreke Hills of the world are still top fantasy guys. On the other hand, who…

This week there are a few opportunities that could come to pass for fantasy football’s lesser-known players. Some of them are names you know but maybe forgot about or thought they would be irrelevant this year and some of them are guys that fans and fantasy junkies alike had never…

We’re starting to separate the wheat from the chaff, aren’t we? There is just one unbeaten team left, and that team hasn’t had a winning record since 2015 and plays in the NFL’s toughest division. Arizona served notice to everyone in the league that they are for real, manhandling the…

Contrary to normal, this Thursday night game features a hot NFC West divisional matchup between two highly skilled teams. From Lumen Field, quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks faceoff against the Los Angeles Rams and QB Matt Stafford. While I faded the Rams in their loss to the Cardinals…

After wiping last Monday night’s game from my memory, these picks are primed to do way better for this contest. In this AFC West showdown, QB Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders will travel to Los Angeles to battle against quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers. Both squads enter…

Following a rough outing in last week’s ‘Best Bets’ in the NFL, these picks are much more calculated and are primed for a better performance. This slate is set up nicely to make some big bucks off of overvalued teams and there are plenty of them. Whether it is a…

Over the first three weeks of the season, I have been telling you all the players that I like and dislike in a big picture sense. Today will be a little bit different. In this article, I will choose three games from this week in which I expect there to…

Sometimes injuries give guys opportunities. Sometimes their coach is panicking, trying to save his job and looking to change things up. Sometimes they’re playing against a weak defense. Sometimes it’s as simple as the fact that they’re facing the Chicago Bears.  Whatever the reason, sometimes you can’t just roll out…

Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors Chase Center, San Francisco, CA, 10 pm ET National Broadcaster: TNT SPREAD: Golden State -6 (PointsBet) MONEYLINE: Minnesota +230 (FanDuel) OVER/UNDER: 229.5 (BetMGM) For a young team that is currently just one game over .500, Minnesota basketball fans can’t help but feel at least…

Just three weeks into the season and there are only five undefeated teams remaining (and five teams yet to win). Raise your hand if you predicted that two of those five undefeated teams would be the Carolina Panthers and the Las Vegas Raiders (…still sounds funny). By the way, if…

Even though these are the dog days of the NBA season, these games have proven to be quite profitable following a 2-1 outcome in last week’s best bets. For this interconference matchup, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Last game out, the…

After a very different start for these two teams going into Week 4, this Thursday night matchup yields a high point spread. From Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars face off versus second year QB Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Although both teams…

Alright…so apparently the shrunken schedule on Monday night wasn’t the only reason my DFS picks didn’t click. After a really good week last week I fear I may be on a bit of a cold streak. I had a pretty big slate of games to choose from last night and…

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Somehow, it is week four in the NFL already and we’re at the mid-week point where we try to bring you back from a disastrous Monday night or sling shot you into a profitable weekend. Let’s jump right into our Thursday’s top plays. Joe Mixon…

Fresh off a nail-biting win, we move on to today and hopefully continue to turn our luck around. Today we shift our focus out west for a matchup with the Grizzlies and the Spurs. For a good stretch, the Grizzlies were one of the best teams in basketball, but as…

Following a disappointing result in Sunday’s NFL edition of ‘Best Bets’, it is now time to bounce back with this fun Monday night game. This NFC East contest should be action-packed as ever in this pivotal game for both teams. From Jerry’s World in Arlington, Texas, quarterback Jalen Hurts and…

After a pretty solid week or so of DFS plays I kinda forced it yesterday by making some picks despite the fact that there were only four games on the schedule. I’ll be the first to admit it didn’t go very well (unless you consider finishing 2,304th out of 3,300…

With football season right around the corner and draft season in full swing, it is officially the best time of the year. No fantasy sport can quite match the intensity and competitiveness of fantasy football. At times, this simple yet addicting game can bring both the best and worst out…

The Blazers have won four of their last five and look to be turning a corner. Tonight, they match up with another up-and-coming team, the Timberwolves. The Blazers have slowly been getting pieces back and are showing they still have a lot of fight left. The Timberwolves have been outscoring…

Now that we have arrived at this beautiful NFL Week 3, it’s time to separate the sharp plays from the square picks in this slate to make some serious guap. Some teams have gained some early hype in their minor success and that sentiment is reflected in some of these…

Just four games to choose from tonight. Normally I might be tempted to leave this relatively shrunken slate alone due to a dearth of options, but tonight actually has some really unique plays to be made, so I’ve decided to give it a go. You’re welcome, America. ZACH LEVINE, SG,…

Week Two had a few significant developments unfold. The Packers returned to form, pummeling an overmatched Lions team to redeem themselves after a lackluster Week 1 performance and Aaron Rodgers again having to remind cheese-heads everywhere to ‘relax’. The Ravens finally (barely) defeated Kansas City, preventing them from dropping to…

Staples Center, Los Angeles, 10 pm ET on TNTMONEYLINE: Lakers -155 (DraftKings)SPREAD: Golden State +3.5 (Bet MGM)OVER/UNDER: Under 228 (-112) (FanDuel) You could make the argument that October is the best sports month of the year. MLB playoffs are on all month long, the WNBA Finals have just concluded, the…

With two weeks in the books, we are slowly beginning to grasp what players are good and what players are not. In this week’s outlook, I want to highlight some of the highly regarded players who have gotten off to slow starts. With these players, is it time to panic…

Remember now – I’m talking about sneaky fantasy starters for this weekend – guys who you might be debating leaving on your bench or who might not even be on someone’s fantasy team yet. Any ham-&-egger can tell you that starting Christian McCaffrey vs. Houston on Thursday is probably a…

After going 3-0 on Monday Night Football, this Thursday night game is another great opportunity to go undefeated. In this primetime match, second year coach Matt Rhule and the Carolina Panthers take on rookie head coach David Culley and the Houston Texans. In Week 2, the Texans suffered a huge…

That’s right, it’s Thursday again, and that means we’re here with another three pack of Thursday’s top plays for you to boost your bankroll or, in many cases, make up for the money you lost on the Chiefs fumbling the game away on Monday night. Either way, if the Hamburglar’s Chiefs…

Following an outstanding Week 1 NFL slate that featured upsets, blowouts and overtime thrillers, the NFC East takes center stage on this Thursday night game. This primetime bout will feature third year quarterback Daniel Jones and the New York Giants versus the Washington Football Team and backup QB, Taylor Heinicke….

If you’re smart with this whole fantasy football thing, you’ve made sure you waited as long as possible for your fantasy draft to begin, getting as close as possible to the season’s opening game before making your picks. My buddies and I are doing ours on Wednesday the 8th in…

This Sunday Week 2 slate in the NFL was chock-full of surprises. From the betting lines to fantasy football, everything seemed out of whack. Hopefully this Monday Night contest can be a step towards normalcy. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers hope to bounce back at home against Jared…

Well, that was interesting, huh? It would be a large understatement to say that Week 1 of the NFL season was filled with surprises. It featured a team with genuine Super Bowl aspirations like Green Bay being blown out by New Orleans, who were playing their first game in over…

Welcome to week two of fantasy football! Whether your team performed spectacularly last week or didn’t show up in the slightest, now is not the time to jump to any firm conclusions. The season has only just begun. When in doubt, trust your draft. In week one, some high-profile fantasy…

Now that the NFL is in full swing, the strengths and weaknesses of each team have been revealed and it’s time to take full advantage. This Sunday slate is stock full of matchups to do exactly that. Whether it be two squads with high-scoring offenses that will shatter the point…

The fantasy football waiver wire is always a madhouse after week one of the NFL season. The first week of games reveals things that were difficult to see during preseason action. Players who were being protected from potential injuries have been let out of their cages. Situational questions like ‘who…

Today marks the second half of the week, and if you’re in the first half, we’re here to get you out of it with our top three plays for Thursday. With a short MLB slate, we’re going all football for our top three plays today. We start with the only college game on…

After an exhilarating first NFL Sunday of the season, Monday Night Football has reared its glorious head yet again. This match will feature Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders playing at home versus Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The headline for this game surrounds the bizarre amount of…

The moment sports fans have been eagerly waiting for nearly 8 months now is finally upon us! The preseason positional battles are decided, the media and betting predictions are almost set, and the anticipation is nearly over. The NFL is about to kick off another regular season, with the first…

Finally, an entire Sunday to enjoy where there’s nothing to do but sit back and watch a fully loaded NFL slate, while monitoring your fantasy team. It is also time to find a betting rhythm and strategy for this NFL season that leads to fruitful profit margins. While it’s tempting…

The wait is finally over folks. Football season is back and we kick the season off with a Thursday night game with the defending champs and America’s team. The NFL is kicking off the season with a great game in this one. On one side you have arguably the greatest…

It is finally the dawn of a new NFL season, which marks the beginning of a money-making bull run for some and last place fantasy league shame for others. For this Thursday night football special, the Super Bowl defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at home against the Dallas Cowboys….

With the 2021 NFL regular season (finally) set to begin on Thursday, September 9 in prime time, the last weekend of August will be your last chance to get a look at your favorite team (and all the others) before the games and stats really start to count.. Though the…

As the NFL rolls into week 3 of the preseason, the regular season is coming in hot, but there is still money to be made off of these somewhat predictable exhibition games. Even with each team rotating between 90 players throughout the course of a preseason game, there are still…

The NHL trade deadline is Monday March 21, meaning that there are only about 20 games left for each team and that – more importantly – fantasy hockey pools will be heading into the playoffs soon. With winning your league title in mind, there are a few players who remain…

Finally, a slate of games that isn’t Central American soccer or the Moscow Liga Pro table tennis league. At long last, there are games that you can not only watch on television, but games where investing two to three hours of your time is actually worth doing. Even though it…

The NHL All-Star break is almost upon us so it seemed the appropriate time to have a look at what Vegas thinks about who’s likely to win the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP this year and see if any candidate sticks out like they might be a better bet than…

Now that we’re almost at the end of the NFL’s regular season, we will start looking more closely at the other two big sports that aren’t even midway through their seasons to see if we can’t help your fantasy teams in hockey and basketball. Today we’ll talk about five NHL…

This is the only time of year where bettors can sink their teeth into two different sets of preseason futures bets for two different pro sports leagues. Obviously, the NHL is not as popular for betting as the NBA is (nor the NFL or MLB for that matter), but that…

Is there any event in sports more reliable for thrills than the annual NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament? I honestly don’t think it’s even debatable – every other playoff tournament is fighting for second place. In some ways it isn’t fair to compare it to other postseasons – not every game…

With the NBA season on a hiatus after the All-Star Game, the NFL finished for another year after the Super Bowl and MLB continuing to do everything it can to ruin whatever smidgeon of goodwill that sports fans have left for it, it dawned on me that I may have…

Ball State at Akron (+20.5, 0/U 58.5 on DraftKings) 7:00 pm on CBSSNEastern Michigan at Toledo (-8.5, O/U 54.5 on FanDuel) 7:30 pm on ESPNUMiami at Ohio (+7 on FanDuel, O/U 53.5 on DraftKings) 7:30 pm on  ESPN2 Every week I write a small synopsis of the previous weekend’s action…

With the college football season shockingly already halfway over, it is important to get familiar with these teams that will be playing in December and January. All best bets for this week are at a margin of 4.5, so that must entail good betting fortune. It was once again another…

Clemson -13.5 over Syracuse (-110 DK)I get that Clemson isn’t their usual powerhouse self this season. Seeing them with two losses this early in the season is crazy. On the other side though, Syracuse isn’t great and has lost two straight. On the road and after a bye, Clemson will…

Well, we are beginning to reach that time of the year.  The time of the year when there is only one sport left standing…MLB. With a NHL champion crowned and only three games max left to the NBA season, everyone will be turning their attention to the second half of…

An incredibly scary realization came over me today as I wandered the internet, looking for the sporting events this weekend. I quickly realized that the NHL is over, the NBA is almost wrapped up, and football doesn’t begin for well over another month. What I am really starting to feel…

It was quite the night in sports. We had three pitchers combine to no hit one of the best teams in baseball. There was a huge upset in the NHL as the Canadians beat the Knights in overtime to head to the Stanley cup finals. We also had playoff basketball…

As we touched on the other day, a lot of strange things have been happening lately. Pro boxers are now boxing pro entertainers, teams are trading all time leaders in their respected positions for next to nothing, and D Wade is hosting some crappy reality TV show that takes place…

Welcome to the Weekend Bets: Wedding Edition. I am full blown hungover on a Friday morning because the rehearsal dinner was on a Thursday night and while I typically will write this article on a Saturday morning, there is no way I won’t still be drunk by the time I…

A lot of things happened this weekend. A lot of bets were made. A lot of bets were lost. A lot of bets were won. But there is really just one thing that sticks out from the entire weekend and it’s the fact that Lebron has to participate in the…

Say it aint Covid again. We have seen consecutive teams drop out of the ACC tournament in consecutive days. First to fall was Duke affectively ending the Blue Devils season abruptly after the team had gained a ton of momentum going into a must win ACC tourney. Now Virginia has…

Happy weekend, degenerates. I am currently sitting on my couch, it is Friday at 10:26 pm and I am watching the Warriors without Steph, Draymond, and Wiggins take on the Pelicans without Lonzo, Zion, and Hart. Why am I watching this already mediocre game made even worse by the lack…

“Houston…we have lift off.” Dak Prescott has been paid ladies and gentlemen. A saga that seems to have been playing out for years now has finally ended. I, for one, am happy for Dak.  He stuck to his guns and got what he thought he was worth. After he went…

I hate to say these words but, the Kentucky Derby can suck a fat one. Ya, I said it. Medina Spirit, the damn Baffert horse who won the Derby, tested positive for an illegal drug and there is an investigation into the horse and its trainers. Baffert has been suspended…

It truly is the best time of year. NFL is in its free agency, MLB has begun, NBA is approaching the All-Star break, the NHL season is in full swing, and the greatest tournament in sports is a few weeks away from starting. I remember just about this time last…
