Steve Janik 5 years agoVance McDonald Has Good Matchup Against Dolphins
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) should be ready to go against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.

Steve Janik 5 years agoTop NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 8 (10/27/19)
Somehow four touchdowns by Marvin Jones wasn't enough for the Lions to take a win against the Vikings, but nonetheless, it was a very profitable week.

Steve Janik 5 years agoTop College Football Betting Expert Picks for Week 9 (10/26/19)
Last week was on a fantastic path to perfection, that is until Baylor decided to drop 35 in the second half after scoring just 10 before halftime. Otherwise, it was a great week with the two winners hitting comfortably. I was at a wedding so there wasn't much time to enjoy football, but I most […]

Steve Janik 5 years agoTop College Football Betting Expert Picks for Week 8 (10/19/19)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in both of his targets for just 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught just one of his four targets for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

Pittsburgh Steelers Running back Benny Snell Jr. took 17 carries for 75 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers. This was the largest workload to date for the rookie from Kentucky.
