Super
Bowl Spread Pick
Posted: 4:00 am PDT 2007-02-04
Well, it all comes down to this. We have the matchup of
the best offense in the league (Indianapolis) against what I think is the second-best
defense in the league (Chicago).
Super
Bowl Prop Best Bets

With Super Bowl XLI right around the corner, I will take a
look at some of the best bets when it comes to proposition wagering. In this article, I
look at some of the best WR, QB and RB props for the big game.

Bowl Preview

But Super Bowl XLI is more than just Manning vs. Urlacher or
the Indianapolis Colts against the Chicago Bears. It's Tony Dungy vs. Lovie Smith. It's
Rex Grossman vs. his critics. It's Manning vs. his legacy.

Bowl Prop Bets

If you're a sports bettor, the Super Bowl is like a giant
party because of the stakes involved and the fact that you can bet on so many different
things about the game.

BOWL ANALYSIS: The Difference Maker
Posted: 7:00 am PDT 2007-01-27
Pundits are already proclaiming this to be the most lopsided
QB pairing in Super Bowl history. Peyton Manning will be appearing in his 13th playoff
game, and Rex Grossman in only his third.

in four years and the seventh time overall since the league realigned and took the Colts

NFC
Championship Preview
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2007-01-18
The NFC is about to have a different Super Bowl representative
for the seventh straight year. Thanks to the Bears' overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks
last Sunday and the Saints' well-grounded win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC held
to regular-season form, and the top two seeds will play for the right to represent the
conference in the Super Bowl in Miami on Feb. 4.
NFL
Week 15 Spread Picks
Posted: 9:00 am PDT 2006-12-17
In last week's article, I mentioned how many of the games I
thought had good lines and many of the games were really just toss-ups to me. As a
result, I put up my biggest stinker of the year, with a 5-11 record. Even the best
handicappers have weeks like this, so I'll just have to grin and bear it.
NFL
Week 14 Spread Picks
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-12-07
Last week saw the danger of buying points, as I went 8-8, but
lost money because I bought off the 3 and 7 and lost in multiple games.
NFL
Week 13 Spread Picks
Posted: 6:00 am PDT 2006-12-01
Well, due to the Thanksgiving games last week I didn't have
much time to study, and lo and behold, I had my best week of the season, simply by
trusting my first instinct. With the early game (Baltimore-Cincy) again this week, I'll go
with my first thought again and see how it goes!

Morning QB For 11-29-2006
Posted: 3:00 am PDT 2006-11-29
This past Sunday, we saw the maturing of Vince Young and the
unraveling of Michael Vick. While Young used his arm and legs to lead the Titans out of a
21-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Giants, Vick's two middle fingers let the home
crowd know what he thought of their booing the Falcons being done dirty by the Saints.

12 NFL Picks

Without much time to study up for this week's games due to the
Thanksgiving holiday, I'm just going to go with my first instinct and hope for the
best.
Tuesday
Morning QB For 11-21-2006
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-11-21
Week 11 in the NFL saw one of its best players lost for the
season and one of its all-time greats face a scary injury. The Indianapolis Colts taste
defeat in Big D, as Bill Parcells looks more and more like a genius as Tony Romo continues
to impress.

10 NFL Previews
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-11-11
The Giants will be a little short-handed in this key NFC
battle. They will be without as many as six defensive starters, including DEs Michael
Strahan and Osi Umenyiora.

Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-11-04
This is easily the game of the year so far, with the Colts
aiming to become just the second NFL team to go 8-0 in consecutive seasons - and, just
like last year, they have to beat the Patriots for that eighth win.

8 NFL Spread Picks
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-10-27
I'm going to base all my results on the assumption I'm betting
to win $100 with a -110 vig (meaning you have to bet $110 to win $100) and buying on/off
the 3 and 7 (and occasionally the 10) for -130 when necessary. On to my picks for Week 8:

Cardinals coach exploded in a post-game press conference Monday night following the 24-23
collapse to the Bears at home.

are looking to win their fifth straight against an underachieving Cincinnati team that
lost to Tampa Bay last week.
Week
7 NFL Picks Against Spread
Posted: 11:00 am PDT 2006-10-20
Well, I've gone 17-8-2 the past two weeks and am starting to
think I know what I'm doing. I'm sure Week 7 will kick my butt, but I'll give it my
best shot. There are a ton of ugly games that I really can't get a handle on, so be
prepared ahead of time that this may be a down week.
NFL Week 6 Spread Picks
Posted: 6:00 am PDT 2006-10-14
Week 5 was my best week yet, and now that we're into the heart
of the season I think I have a good idea about where teams fall in the power
rankings. Hopefully the good run continues!

Week 4 NFL Picks
Posted: 3:00 am PDT 2006-09-30
Week 3 went a little better for me and it showed why buying
the 1/2 point is a profitable move, as I won 2 games (Jacksonville and Minnesota) that I
would've pushed with without the buy..
Indispensable Players
Posted: 3:00 am PDT 2006-09-30
If one thing has become painfully clear this season, a rough
reinforcement of lessons learned every year, it is that almost every team has one
seemingly indispensable player -- a guy it cannot afford to have injured because his
absence greatly reduces the team's chances of winning.
Unified Ravens
Posted: 6:00 am PDT 2006-09-25
Brian Billick is one of the NFL's more emphatic, dramatic
coaches. On the sideline, in press conferences, you name it. Billick is loud, he's blunt,
and he always sports that look as if he's just never satisfied.
Week 3 NFL Capsules

Week 3 NFL Picks
Posted: 4:00 am PDT 2006-09-22
Week 2 saw a lot of huge favorites, with 5 teams being at
least 10-point chalk. Normally an early week with a lot of big dogs is profitable for
sharp bettors, who know that things tend to even out in the long run and teams shouldn't
be favored by that much that soon.
QB Surprises
Posted: 4:00 am PDT 2006-09-22
Two weeks into the season, the three top-rated quarterbacks in
the NFL are a guy who was booed by his team's fans all preseason, a passer who still has
no offensive line and a youngster who had never started a game until this year.

Week 2 NFL Picks
Posted: 4:00 am PDT 2006-09-14
Week 1 is in the books and the sharp bettors, who went big on
teams like Cleveland, Tennessee, and the NY Giants, took a pounding this weekend. Now
that we have a little data to work with and a better idea of who is going to be good and
who isn't, things should become a little easier this week.
Torch Has Passed
Posted: 4:00 am PDT 2006-09-10
Marshall Faulk, Curtis Martin and Priest Holmes were among the
NFL's most dominant running backs over the past decade, each leaving a legacy of
spectacular seasons, league records and fallen defenders.

Now I'm not a professional handicapper per se, but I think I
know more about the NFL than 98 percent of the people who bet on games every week, just
because I research it so much. I also have been known to lay some money down on the
NFL, mostly on player bets, which I'll give you more detail on later this week.
Quarterback Comebacks
Posted: 5:00 am PDT 2006-09-04
After a 2005 season in which more than a third of the league's
starting passers missed significant time, this is the year of the quarterback comeback.
Optimism In Motown
Posted: 5:00 am PDT 2006-09-04
The ho-hum Detroit Lions, out of the spotlight, short on
talent and without a playoff appearance in the new millennium, simply haven't given Joe
Fan much to get excited for in recent memory.

their odds to win their division and the over/under on regular season wins.

Start For Brooks

The
Best Players You Don't Know
When you're handicapping games in any sport, knowledge is power (and often
wealth). I'm going to introduce you to some outstanding college football players that
you have probably never heard of.
NFC
South Preview
Keyshawn Johnson has been described as many things, both good and bad, in his 10
years in the NFL. Brash, arrogant, self-serving, successful, emotional, consistent, the
list can go on for days.
AFC
North Preview
Posted: 2:00 am PDT 2006-07-18
The AFC North has been a bastion of activity lately. In
Pittsburgh, a fan favorite running back retired, a first-round draft pick was arrested
twice and a franchise quarterback broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle accident.
NFC North Preview

NFL's New Coaches
Posted: 6:30 am PDT 2006-07-06
Every year, several NFL teams trot out new coaches,
optimistic that they will change the fortunes of struggling teams. This season is no
different as 10 new head coaches will lead their teams into battle.
Culpepper
Could Change Division's Dynamic
Posted: 12:30 pm PDT 2006-07-02
Daunte Culpepper has been through many a challenge in his
career.
A tremendously gifted, multi-sport high school athlete, Culpepper, a native Floridian, had
to digest the fact that the state's big three universities - Florida, Florida State and
Miami - just didn't want him.
Put Up Or Shut Up
Posted: 3:00 am PDT 2006-06-29
For some NFL players, this could be a make-or-break
season. Some guys are finally getting their chance to shine, while others need to
prove themselves again.
Watch Out, Seattle
Posted: 5:30 am PDT 2006-06-25
Everything seems different in Arizona these days. The
Cardinals have a different quarterback situation. They have a different running back
situation. Heck, they even have themselves a different stadium.
Offseason Changes In AFC West Still Favor Broncos
Posted: 5:30 am PDT 2006-06-19
The AFC West, perhaps more than any other division, underwent
wholesale changes this offseason. New coaches. New quarterbacks. New strategies. You name
it.
Steelers Hopeful Roethlisberger Will Be Ready For Season Opener
Posted: 5:00 am PDT 2006-06-15

Posted: 5:30 am PDT 2006-06-08

needs.
Arrington, Not T.O.,
Could Be Biggest Offseason Addition by an NFC Contender
Posted: 7:00 am PDT 2006-05-30
It's tough to top Terrell Owens in anything. On the field, off
the field, in front of the cameras, in front of a microphone, you name it. T.O.
demands attention, and, because everybody seems to love a juicy NFL controversy in this
age, he usually gets it.
The Arms Race in the NFL's AFC East Takes on a New Look
Posted: 6:00 am PDT 2006-05-24
The quarterback position has always been the most important
position for any NFL team. Having a confident field general is essential for any
team that wants to go deep into the playoffs. Nowhere is that more evident than in
the AFC East.
You Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone
Posted: 11:30 am PDT 2006-05-18
After 21 seasons in professional football, Doug Flutie is
hanging up his cleats and calling it a career. Despite making one of the most famous plays

Miami Hurricanes, the 5’10” quarterback has never received the admiration he
deserves.

Draft’s Impact on the Upcoming Fantasy Football Season
Posted: 4:30 am PDT 2006-05-15

looking at which teams drafted the best and which teams dropped out, fantasy footballers
were wondering which rookies they might like to have on their team.
Favre’s
Back… But Will It Help the Packers?
Posted: 3:00 am PDT 2006-05-04
Last season was a complete and total disaster for both
Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay struggled with injuries and dissention,
staggering to a 4-12 record in 2005 while earning the team the fifth pick in the 2006 NFL
Draft. |
