COVID-19 Makes Clemson’s National Title Line Into Best FBS Gamble in Years
Let's get something straight. There will be FBS football, NFL football, Canadian football, and probably High School football played in 2020-21. Nobody needs to worry about that. The NFL Draft is going-ahead right on time for a reason. The only question is how many people will see the games happen live. Those who think pigskin should simply "postpone for 18 months" don't … [Read more...] about COVID-19 Makes Clemson’s National Title Line Into Best FBS Gamble in Years
Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
Covering prep football on Fridays is, as Sappho might have put it, a supreme experience on the black Earth. But even if I wasn’t addicted to the aura of pigskin in its purest form, I would still be well-advised to follow Friday night lights (the actual games, not the show with the immortal teenagers) to learn and improve my FBS and NFL handicapping. For instance, is it … [Read more...] about Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
6 Teams in Contention Entering Rivalry Weekend
I enjoy listening to former Colts’ punter Pat McAfee’s podcasts online. He hits it right on the head when he says, “every game matters in college football … until you lose one”. Realistically, only a handful of teams have a shot at making the College Football Playoff when the season begins. That small number has dwindled considerably by late November. You have to be a … [Read more...] about 6 Teams in Contention Entering Rivalry Weekend
College Football Predictions: Pitt vs Ohio and 4 Other Moneyline Picks for Week 2
I once perplexed a High School football coach (who has limited hours to spend watching games at the next level) by calling his team the “Ohio Bobcats” of Missouri pigskin. He tried to go along, but was clearly unfamiliar with Frank Solich’s outfit in Athens. What I meant was that his prep school team wasn’t always big enough to beat massive foes and wasn’t always a … [Read more...] about College Football Predictions: Pitt vs Ohio and 4 Other Moneyline Picks for Week 2

What Did We Just See?
After the first half on Thursday night, Texas Tech led 63-44 over Michigan … oh wait, sorry … that was the final score. The halftime score was actually 24-16. Yeah … 16. This wasn’t just a cold shooting performance by Michigan. This was one of the worst offensive showings in the storied history of the NCAA Tournament. We need some context. This deserves a deep dive … [Read more...] about What Did We Just See?
