In their lifetime I saw the band R.E.M live in concert eight different times, in six different cities over a span of about 20 years. I can still remember each city – Buffalo, Toronto (three times), Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Detroit. Even though they were obviously one of my favorite…

One huge upset that I sort of saw coming (classic letdown game right after a marquee matchup for Iowa), a few others that almost happened and a few dominating affirmations by the top teams in college football. Week Six didn’t appear to be as full of great storylines as Week…

Following a relatively uneventful Saturday last week, it is now Week 8 in college football and the action is really starting to heat up. As of right now, the top 4 teams for the College Football Playoff are Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, and Alabama in that order. There’s still plenty of…

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…

I hate when writers or sports personalities get overly hyperbolic and make some grand statement about a sporting event just to draw eyeballs and get attention for themselves. So instead of doing that, I’ll just say that last week was the greatest weekend of college football in the history of…

If nothing else, this week in college football is noteworthy for an absence. It marks the first time in a decade that Clemson is not ranked in the AP top 25. 2021 will also mark the first season since 2014 that the Tigers will not be ranked #1 overall at…

With another slate of college football approaching, these lines are getting increasingly transparent, which makes these picks easier to make. For this fun-filled Saturday, all three of these bets are road favorites against inferior opponents that could make for a sexy parlay. In addition to a 3-0 record in NFL…

I think voters in this week’s AP poll kept Clemson in there at #25 just to be mean. There is probably a non-Power Five conference school somewhere that is still unranked with a good record – San Diego State comes to mind – that would have really relished nabbing a…

Astonishingly, it is already Week 5 in this college football season and there are some terrific matchups on tap. With this action-packed slate, it was somewhat challenging to settle on three best bets. Nonetheless, these plays will prove to be an excellent source of income this weekend. Last week’s featured…
