NFL Week 10: Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Chargers, betting picks, preview

NCAAB futures: Pac-12 sunset winner?

This is the last season for the Pac-12 as we know it. Unfortunately, unlike football, it does not look like it is going out with a bang on the hardwood.

Any discussion of SEC basketball has to include Kentucky but the strength of the league the last few seasons has been because of programs like Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas.

NCAAF Week 10: LSU Tigers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide betting picks, preview

LSU vs. Alabama is always big. Bama needs a win to keep on track to make the SEC Championship Game with a chance to get back into the playoff picture. An LSU victory would be two in a row against Alabama and Nick Saban.

NCAAF betting: Top 5 best bets for Week 10

Last week was a losing week (it happens). USC got the win but things were way too close in their game against Cal. Ugh, those guys are frustrating. This week it feels like the focus is not on the field as much with College Football Playoff rankings coming out, and all the Michigan stuff.

NFL Week 9: Seattle Seahawks vs. Baltimore Ravens betting picks, preview

This is a bigger game than expected. Both teams have just a couple of losses and are in the hunt for the top of their respective conferences. It might not be a Super Bowl preview, but there is more than enough reason to tune in.

Happy Halloween! It is a Tuesday so we only have a few games to choose from. YB's Matt Wiesenfeld has some boo-tiful props for this evening's NBA slate.

NCAAF Week 10: Missouri Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs betting picks, preview

Missouri looks like the only team that has a chance of grabbing the SEC East this season, other than Georgia of course.

NBA Props for Monday, Oct. 30: We're flyin' with Zion

Friday was a classic example of how the pricing on these props is critical. We were 1-3 on the day and still turned a profit thanks to a +400 winner (John Collins). Let's see what Monday's NBA slate brings.

NCAAF Week 10: Texas A&M Aggies vs. Ole Miss Rebels betting picks, preview

Ole Miss' only loss on the season was to Alabama. This is a big week for them because Alabama is definitely in jeopardy, taking on LSU. A win by the Rebels and things suddenly get much more interesting in the SEC.

NCAAF Betting: What we learned for Week 10 and beyond
