On TwitterLos Angeles Lakers 2022-23 Betting Guide
The Los Angeles Lakers did not even make the play-in tournament last season, yet they remain one of the most talked about teams in the NBA. That is partly because they have this generation's best player in LeBron James, but mostly because the Russell Westbrook saga continues.
Dallas Mavericks 2022-23 Betting Guide
Dallas has Luka Doncic, and as long as that is the case, they are going to be in the mix. The enduring question is always going to be how to surround him with enough to win big.

Miami Heat 2022-23 Betting Guide
YB's Matt Wiesenfeld says Miami is one of the toughest teams in the NBA to peg coming into the season. They had the top record in the Eastern Conference last year and bring most of their team back, but nobody really expects them to compete at that level again. It is hard to find a glaring weakness on this team, but their strengths do not overwhelm either.
NFL Survivor Pool: 1 in 5 is good, right?
Hopefully you got the joke in the headline. That is definitely not good, not in the world of sports betting, unless you are betting massive underdogs. Even then, they have to have really good payoffs. Well, after four losses to start the season, I am happy to say that we finally got a win last Sunday.
Philadelphia 76ers 2022-23 Betting Guide

Phoenix Suns 2022-23 Betting Guide
Phoenix was in the NBA Finals a couple of seasons ago and was strong during the regular season last year too, posting the best record in the league. They are definitely in the mix though, you have to wonder if this group might have peaked.
Los Angeles Clippers 2022-23 Betting Guide
The "other" franchise in L.A. comes into this season in much better shape this season than last. A healthy Los Angeles Clippers team is very talented and very versatile.
Golden State Warriors 2022-23 Betting Guide

College football Week 6 Top 25 Betting Guide

There were some upsets last week, there always are, but the real story of Week 5 might have been how vulnerable Georgia and Alabama look at the top of the rankings. YB's Matt Wiesenfeld takes a deeper dive.
NFL Week 4 Mock Contest entry: Maybe now things are normal
Short intro this week due to time constraints this week. Last week we reverted back to 2-3 as we try and find our footing in this wacky NFL season. There are some very intriguing games, especially with Tampa once again in a spot where all eyes are going to be upon them...Perhaps the same is true for that other Florida team in Jacksonville.
NBA Pacific Division futures: Lots of great options out West
Lots of noise coming into the season about this division. For starters, the Golden State Warriors won the title last year, even though Phoenix had the better record during the season (winning the division).
College football Week 5: Top 25 betting guide

NBA Southwest Division futures: Looking upside down with San Antonio an also-ran
Times they are a changing in the Southeast Division in the NBA. For 20 years you could pretty much lock in San Antonio to contend for the division lead, or at least the playoffs, but this year, they might be the worst team in the NBA.
NFL Survivor Pool: One of these days?
We are now three weeks into the season and I am an embarrassing 0-3 in this space. Pretty pathetic given we are just trying to pick winners. Apologies!!
