Holy Knight, Maybe UCF Deserved a Playoff Spot After All
I cover international hockey on occasion, and the most time-honored knock on the format is the single-game elimination scenario. Why potentially crown a champion by means of a few lucky bounces over 60 minutes? The criticism overlooks that an IIHF or Olympic tournament is designed to determine the best team. Not necessarily the best match-up for a single 60:00 against … [Read more...] about Holy Knight, Maybe UCF Deserved a Playoff Spot After All
English Premier League Goal Spread Pick: Eagles vs Clarets at Selhurst Park
On Matchday 14, an afternoon kickoff (AM in the United States) pairs a couple of clubs that have virtually no chance to win a Premier League title any time soon. Crystal Palace is currently 16th on the EPL table with the Clarets nipping at its heels (talons?) in 17th place. The Eagles are 1-goal favorites to beat Burnley at home, and enjoy a (-175) moneyline next to a hefty … [Read more...] about English Premier League Goal Spread Pick: Eagles vs Clarets at Selhurst Park
Kansas City Could Annihilate The Point Spread Against Oakland
Kansas City’s offense has been called a “video game” offense. But that doesn’t really do the Chiefs' nuclear-powered attack much justice. Video game teams are often locked into simple blocking schemes and old-fashioned drop back passing. Andy Reid’s team is like something out of the 22nd century. With swift cannon-armed Patrick Mahomes at the helm, KC overwhelms defenses … [Read more...] about Kansas City Could Annihilate The Point Spread Against Oakland
Field Goal Underdog Memphis Could Break UCF’s Streak This Saturday
No team has come closer to stopping Central Florida’s dominant streak of unbeaten football than the 2018 Memphis Tigers. The Tigers fell in a 31-30 defeat to the Knights earlier this season with a healthy starting QB in the opposing lineup. The Memphis defense is hoping to abuse a replacement, frosh quarterback while snatching the AAC championship and a repeat-undefeated … [Read more...] about Field Goal Underdog Memphis Could Break UCF’s Streak This Saturday
Texas vs Oklahoma: Moneyline Wager on the Big 12 Championship Game
Because the league lacks great defenses – or even good defenses – not every college football pundit thinks that Oklahoma should go to the College Football Playoff in January, even if the Sooners win the Big 12 Championship Game this Saturday at AT&T Stadium. But no real fan can refute that the match-up at Jerry World is a potential classic in the making. A re-match of … [Read more...] about Texas vs Oklahoma: Moneyline Wager on the Big 12 Championship Game
Andy Reid Thinks He’s Coaching Football in Kansas City. He Should Rethink That.
Imagine an NBA game featuring a pair of high-scoring teams. Team A hits a lay-up to lead by 1 point with 25 seconds left. Team B takes the ball out from under its own goal. Team B is going to hold for the last shot, right? It’s time-honored basketball strategy. Otherwise, the coach would be counting on his cagers to drain a shot and get a defensive stop against a prolific … [Read more...] about Andy Reid Thinks He’s Coaching Football in Kansas City. He Should Rethink That.
Alabama vs Auburn: Iron Bowl Odds and Betting Preview
FCS underdog The Citadel bothered the Alabama Crimson Tide for 2 quarters last weekend in what was supposed to be a thrash-for-cash game. But the more lasting story might be the mistake made by Alabama coach Nick Saban in the 2nd half. Maybe concerned about the effect of a 10-10 halftime tie on his team’s College Football Playoff seeding, the veteran skipper kept his best … [Read more...] about Alabama vs Auburn: Iron Bowl Odds and Betting Preview
Handicapping Spurs vs Blues as the Premier League Returns to Action
The Premier League’s schedule often suffers from the defects of its virtues. This Saturday’s flurry of important kickoffs at 10 AM New York time present a fun scenario for live-bettors and state-side EPL junkies, but it’s not exactly a bettor’s advantage. The twists and turns of an early-match parlay or a bunch of wagers on separate outcomes could lead to a cash … [Read more...] about Handicapping Spurs vs Blues as the Premier League Returns to Action
