Free Week 11 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions
Week 10 was not our best, unfortunately. We missed badly with picks on the Colts and Jets. The Colts had chances in their game against the Bills, but Joe Flacco just made too many mistakes. The Jets might have been our worst call of the season as they were throttled by an Arizona Cardinals team […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Back-end QB1 ANALYSIS: From a fantasy football perspective, Herbert has been a little disappointing in 2024.

Free Week 10 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions
Last week, we were unable to crack the win column and finished 0-1-1. We should have gotten a win on the Titans -3, but they allowed a ridiculous touchdown on the last play of regulation to spoil a cover. So, we had to settle for a push. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco looked more like, well, Joe […]

Free Week 9 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions
Week 8 wasn't too bad for us here. We’ll get the bad out of the way first as we dropped a full unit on the Miami Dolphins when they blew a nine-point fourth-quarter lead and lost on a last-second field goal to the Arizona Cardinals. It looks like Arizona is a little better than most […]

The fantasy football season keeps marching forward. When I started preparing to write this column for Week 8, I was hoping we would finally have a week where there were relatively few injuries to report. Oh, how naive I was. We lost several starting quarterbacks to injury and saw a potentially serious knee injury to […]

Free Week 8 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions
Well, unfortunately, we failed to keep our momentum rolling and had a 0-2 record last week. The Vikings couldn't close out the Lions late and lost on a last-second field goal. We also had a tough loss with Green Bay winning but missing a cover by half a point. That’s the second time we’ve lost […]
