Before the 2018-19 season started, I wrote that Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is loaded at QB, and his only real problem is figuring out who will run the rock. “Smart is hoping that freshman RB Zamir White, the top-ranked rusher in the 2018 recruiting class, will continue to amaze after racking up Hershel Walker-type numbers in high school,” read my – ahem – indubitably … [Read more...] about Georgia at LSU: Picking an SEC Slug-Fest on the Spread
Handicapping Chicago in Week 6: Trubisky’s Success is Tim Tebow’s Last Laugh
Someday the NFL’s old guard will have to admit it. There is now more than one way for a quarterback to be successful in professional football. Mitch Trubisky’s stat line from September 30th's 48-10 Chicago Bears triumph over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to look like a crazy fluke to the same NFL-only fans who thought Tim Tebow’s stats against the Pittsburgh Steelers were … [Read more...] about Handicapping Chicago in Week 6: Trubisky’s Success is Tim Tebow’s Last Laugh
Week 6 NFL Menu
Like a well-rounded restaurant, this week’s NFL schedule has some appetizers, main dishes, and desserts.

Bills @ Texans – Week 6 Preview
An 0-3 team has a 2% chance of making the playoffs in the NFL. A 3-3 team has roughly a 38% chance. The Houston Texans’ odds of playing into January were unduly bleak just two weeks ago but suddenly are not so bad. Only the painfully inconsistent Buffalo Bills stand between head coach Sean McDermott and a .500 record. We have seen good, bad, and ugly football from both … [Read more...] about Bills @ Texans – Week 6 Preview

Adjusting Expectations In NFL Betting
It happens every year, where an NFL team that was thought to be a contender to win the Super Bowl just falls short of those expectations and doesn’t look like the squad everyone expected them to be.

UCF at Memphis: Saturday Lock on the Point Spread
Vegas odds-managers undoubtedly expect the UCF Knights to win in a close, entertaining scrum over the Memphis Tigers. The payoff line on a straight-up UCF win is (-185) while Memphis is (+160), and the point spread is a meager (-4 ½) for the visiting Black & Gold.
