No fancy words this week. No pep talks. If you've been visiting this space over the last couple weeks, you're surely tired of my chit chat. What matters is the money, and I've been in a slump.

Just three weeks from today, Dan and I will be in Atlanta putting on a live show, celebrating the joys the 2022 college football regular season, and preparing for Conference Championship Week. Championship Week? Yes, it’ll be here before you know it. The season moves quickly. With the shortest regular season of any “major” sport, ...

Much like in Week 9, there are plenty of betting options in Week 10, not the least of which are a handful of monster matchups that will reshape the 2022 college football season as we know it. Ho hum.

yan Harsin has been fired from Auburn Football after just 21 games as head coach. In this reaction video, we discuss where the opening ranks relative to other vacancies in the Power 5 and kick around some potential candidates who could take over for Harsin at Auburn. Could Lane Kiffin, Deion Sanders or Hugh Freeze make their way to Auburn?

After a handful of successful weeks, the universe evened out. It was the most predictable possible outcome. Such is the ebb and flow of betting on sports. Last week's confidence in Ole Miss and both Kansas teams was ill-advised.

This level of indecision happens to me every season around mid-October. I'm not sure if it's because I have a half season's worth of assumptions weighing me down, or because I start each week by comparing points spreads against my own spreadsheet. Either way, I tried to minimize outside influences this week (other than my co-host's, of course) and get back to what got us in the black.

We’ve reached the point in the season where we have reliable data on most teams in college football. Through six weeks of the season, tendencies are starting to be confirmed while many of our speculative, preseason assumptions are going out the window. Such is the nature of the college football beast. This is our 15th ...

Oh, the sweet sensation of lifting the Chalice of Undefeatedness on a Sunday morning! It's a feeling that never gets old. You never know how many undefeated weeks you'll have when it comes to picking games against the spread. It's just important to celebrate in an understated way that doesn't upset the Gambling Gods. I did this after an undefeated slate in Week 3 and, boy howdy, my Week 4 was a tire fire. After last week's triumph, we're back in the black with a winning record. Let's keep the momentum in Week 6, shall we?

One week after drinking from the sweet chalice of undefeatedness, the Gods reminded me of my own mortality. I picked Clemson to cover a 7-point spread in a game against Wake Forest, but after the game went to overtime, I found myself rooting openly for the Deacs. If the Tigers weren't going to cover against a team with no defense, I wanted them to lose outright. I backed Oregon and very nearly won on the most miraculous of front door covers, only to be reminded that nothing is a given until the clock hits 0:00.
