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 […]

Don’t look now, but we’re currently in the middle of October. Where has the time gone? We’re just about at the halfway point of the regular season for most fantasy leagues, so managers are running out of time to make their moves. Week 6 was a tough one for us here. We listed Daniel Jones, […]

Another weekend of fantasy football is over, and it was another one filled with injuries. Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that any fantasy-relevant players suffered anything serious, but once again, there were plenty of smaller ones to discuss.

The NFL season marches forward, and another week of football is upon us. We have done pretty well correctly identifying boom/bust plays so far. Week 5, however, was not kind to us.
