Dallas was the biggest favorite on the board last week, an amazing -17, or even -17.5 depending on when you made the play. Nevertheless, they were nowhere near covering on Sunday and almost ended our nine-game winning streak here.
After a losing week it is nice to be firmly adding value like we did last week with a 4-1 record. Almost 10 games over .500 on the season now. Let's make that a goal. This week we have a smaller schedule with six teams on their bye weeks.
We barely got that ninth win in a row last week as Lamar Jackson went down for the Ravens and they only won by a point at home against Denver. No streak worth having doesn't have a little luck though, right?
After five winning weeks in a row, we slipped. It happens, and it is super frustrating. I am chalking it up to Thanksgiving screwing folks up. Maybe I overlooked those games on Thursday a little too quickly.
Yes, that is now eight winners in a row in this space. There were some upsets last week but most of the big favorites did win, even if they didn't cover. With Thanksgiving past, this week is much more normal.
As we head into Championship Week this week we have a complete season's worth of data. We wish that meant we were going to bat 1.000 this week. Those sportsbook oddsmakers are always learning things too.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We posted another winning week last week and the season-long record is solid — 56% will make you money every time.
Playing Survivor Contests during the long Thanksgiving weekend can get a little tricky. How did the Turkey Day weekend impact YOUR Survivor Contest?
Week 12 was a fun week. A lot of top teams were very close to having their seasons dashed, but Michigan and TCU were able to get it done. Tennessee was not so lucky.
It was another strong week last week, though I suppose I should have known better than to bet against Mike Tomlin as a home underdog. (PS I might do it again.) Nevertheless, it was another strong week and that makes 5 winning weeks in a row.
Portugal is definitely the headliner in this group, what with Cristiano Ronaldo still one of the most recognizable players in the world.
Brazil is the elephant in the room in the group. Maybe that is the wrong analogy, but they are considered the top squad in the world and the favorite to win it all.
Canada is in the World Cup for the first time in a generation. They might not make it out of group stage but more power to them.
This is one of the most competitive groups in this stage of the competition. Germany and Spain are two clubs that definitely have the talent to win it.
Last week, our Matt Wiesenfeld thoroughly debated taking Buffalo. Then with QB Josh Allen's possible injury absence, he just couldn't pull the trigger on the Bills. For those who did, he feels for you.
France is one of the best clubs in the world and the defending World Cup champs. They are not expected to get much resistance at this stage of the event.
There were no earth-shattering results last week. The only thing that came close was the Ducks losing at home to Washington. Let's take a look at what we learned this week in college football, and how we might apply those lessons to future betting opportunities.
Lionel Messi has already announced that this will be the last event where he suits up for Argentina. That does not mean the squad is going to do any better than previous disappointments, but it is an enduring storyline for as long as they are in the event.
Any group with England in it is bound to have a lot of eyes on it. Throw in the United States and there is a lot of intrigue for sure. A lot of very good teams too.
The World Cup is nearly upon us. Sure, it shouldn't be in November but let's get over it and find some ways to use the event to pad our betting accounts.
We do not have a game this week with as much anticipation as Tennessee vs Georgia had last week. Or even Alabama vs LSU (which was the better game). The best game of the week might actually be in the AAC where UCF is visiting Tulane.
Last week was our second-best week of the season, and perhaps our most frustrating in terms of that push and loss. C'mon, Miami. You gotta do better than that.
It's getting down to crunch time in NFL survivor pools. Each week, the decisions get more difficult. Fortunately, YB's Matt Wiesenfeld is here to help.
The Georgia-Tennessee game was a bit of a dud, but Alabama vs. LSU was a fun one and we got some significant results with losses by the Crimson Tide and Clemson Tigers, likely eliminating them from playoff contention.
The SEC is not just a football league anymore and hasn't been for a while. Sure things look pretty normal with Kentucky at the top, but this league has some depth too.
