Yesterday was an incredible day of sports. We started off in the morning with an instant classic between Baylor and Texas, a triple OT thriller with Creighton and Seton Hall, and West Virginia upset Kansas (potential foreshadow of today’s Chiefs game?). I know these days are dedicated to football, but do yourself a favor andContinue reading “Divisional Round Preview: 1/21”

Divisional Round Preview: 1/20
We’ve looked in the mirror, we’ve taken accountability, and we had a stern talk with the PFF football numbers. They made us look like a fool last week, and it can’t happen again. Unfortunately the numbers show chalk and like the over in 3 out of the 4 matchups. Did some Joe Public create theseContinue reading “Divisional Round Preview: 1/20”
Tell the Truth Tuesday
The numbers were horrific this weekend. The PFF model let us down in a bad way, and much like the Cowboys and Eagles, things need to be addressed. As the owner of the blog, I need to look at myself in the mirror and hold ourselves to a higher standard. Never in a million yearsContinue reading “Tell the Truth Tuesday”
Wildcard Weekend Picks 1/15
Hand up, we got a little greedy with the picks yesterday after chasing from the night before, but we had a HUGE win with the Packers. Those betting trends turned into a HAMMER play as more people kept betting the Cowboys and the line still didn’t budge. Regardless of PFF numbers, that’s what we callContinue reading “Wildcard Weekend Picks 1/15”
Wild Card Weekend Picks: 1/14
The joes won big yesterday with the Chiefs and the Texans/Browns over, so it’s gotta flip to us pros today. The numbers in the picture are rankings from Pro Football focus. PB=Pass Blocking, REC=Receivers, PRSH=pass rush, COV=coverage, RDEF=run def, etc. We take those rankings from the overall point differential (points for team 1 minus pointsContinue reading “Wild Card Weekend Picks: 1/14”
Super WC Weekend Picks
Hand up, I’m a bigger CFB than NFL fan, but I also love sprinkling some “winners”. Here’s who the numbers say to pick. Ride or fade, let’s have a soooooper Wildcard Weekend. I’m cautious betting on a rookie in the playoffs, but the numbers are what the numbers are. I’ll sprinkle the Texans +2; theContinue reading “Super WC Weekend Picks”
The Bittersweet ending to a Beautiful Season
Hello darkness my old friend… Although I’m still relishing Michigan winning the national championship and proving all the witch hunters and naysayers (actual naysayers, not what Rece Davis was referring to) wrong, post football depression has set in and the landscape of college football is about to change forever. With the expansion of the collegeContinue reading “The Bittersweet ending to a Beautiful Season”
End of an Era: From Toledo to Tide
Nick Saban is the undisputed GOAT of college football–change my mind. He’s 292-71-1, won 7 national titles, 11 SEC titles (going 11-1 in SEC title games), and most importantly won a MAC championship to go along with multiple coach of the year awards. I argue if he had Drew Brees instead of Daunte Culpepper withContinue reading “End of an Era: From Toledo to Tide”
Let the Naysayers Know
In the famous words of Rece Davis, who was reading a slogan “created” by Jalen Milroe, “Let a Naysayer Know”. I’m sure that’s exactly what Jalen Milroe’s slogan is….regardless Michigan is going to let the Naysayers know who the best team in the country is tonight. Don’t hop on the Washington bandwagon. Washington’s Opponents wereContinue reading “Let the Naysayers Know”
