Army-Navy Game 2022: FanDuel Moneyline Odds, Point Spread Pick, and That Blasted Over/Under Trend
Gaming based on Army-Navy football games is a strange trip for many WagerBop regulars.

CFB Prime-Time Odds, Saturday Wagers, and an SEC Parlay Pick for UGA vs Tennessee
Appalachian State Mountaineers at Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (Thursday, November 3) App State vs Coastal Carolina is now a national headline on Saturdays, mostly because the Sun Belt is no longer a field of patsies.
