CFP National Championship Game - DraftKings Showdown CFB DFS Lineup Picks 1/20/25

We are at the end of the first college football season with the expanded playoffs. The regular season still gave us a few games we weren't used to seeing, but Michigan beating Ohio State meant nothing for the Buckeyes. They're still here. That would have been a "playoff" game during the regular season in past […]

Top Landing Spots For Carson Beck

On Thursday, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck undeclared for the NFL Draft and entered the transfer portal.

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (1/9-10/25)

We have one more classic DraftKings college football tournament for the 2024 season. It's the Final Four in college football. Are these the best four teams in college football? I don't know. They are the best four teams in December though. Tonight we get the Orange Bowl between Notre Dame and Penn State. Tomorrow we […]

Top Five Candidates To Be The No. 1 Overall Pick In The 2025 NFL Draft

The 2024 NFL regular season has ended, which means the first 18 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft order are now set. Several quarterback-needy teams pick in the top three of the draft, which has led to plenty of speculation about who the first pick might be. Will the Tennessee Titans select a quarterback with […]

Way-Too-Early Prediction For The 2025 College Football Playoff Bracket

Four teams remain in the 2024 College Football Playoff, but it's never too early to look ahead to the future, is it? While there could still be some slight changes to how seeding works before next year's playoff, the basis gist should remain the same, as five automatic qualifiers and seven at-large teams will make […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (1/3/25)

This might be the last classic DraftKings slate of the 2024 college football season since the semifinals are played on different days.

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Bowl Games January 2025

We are down to our last handful of bowls. Due to the postponement of the Sugar Bowl, Georgia and Notre Dame will play tonight. I will add the line to the second semifinal once we know who will face Penn State. I closed out the regular season strong, going 8-2 in Championship Week and the […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (1/1/25)

While we are all nursing our hangovers (all football-related, of course) from the end of 2024, we have the final three games of the college football playoff on tap for New Year's Day. Gone are the days of a dozen bowl games happening on New Year's Day. College football is opting for quality (they hope) […]

How Each College Football Playoff Team Can Win The National Championship

Eight teams remain in the hunt for the national championship as we head into the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. Soon, one of those teams will claim the first title of the expanded playoff era. But you don't just wake up one morning as champions. You have to earn it. Each of these teams […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: New Years Eve 2024 And New Years Day 2025

We have five games on New Year's Eve before the final three quarterfinals of the expanded playoff on New Year's Day. That's a lot of (supposed) quality football games. Five of the eight matchups feature a ranked team against another ranked team. What more can we ask for (besides a revert to a four-team playoff)? […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/31/24)

We are onto the final day of 2024! It has been a fun season, but now we are winding down. We only have two more of these classic slates after today. This is the largest, so let's enjoy it (those frustrating opt-outs be darned). We begin in Tampa with the ReliaQuest Bowl between Alabama and […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Bowl Games 12/28 and 12/30 2024

We get our busiest day of bowl season today with seven games. Nice, huh? I'll include Monday's pick here as well. We'll get to the rest of the bowl games on Monday to try and get a more accurate spread. Most of the players who will be in the portal are already there, but Winston […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/28/24)

This is our last big college football slate of the season. We have eight bowl games today, but DraftKings cut off the Fenway Bowl between North Carolina and Connecticut. We still hope we have seven good games going on. Opt-outs change everything. We kick off in Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl with Boston College […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/27/24)

The biggest weekend of bowl season fills up our Friday with four bowl games. They chopped off the Navy-Oklahoma game (thank God). Our first game features two teams that shaped the playoff more than any others facing each other when Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt meet in the Birmingham Bowl. Next up is Texas Tech and […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/26/24)

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. The bowl games will get going over the next week. We promise to have dozens of opt-outs and closer games than the first round of the expanded playoff.

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Bowl Games Week 2 (12/23 Through 12/27 2024)

The bowls start picking up in earnest after Christmas. For those spread picks, I will likely do an article per day. It is the age of opt-outs, even from teams in the playoffs. This is the most up-to-date site I've found so far. It has been a great help over the first week! I closed […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/23/24)

The bowl games start amping up in earnest after Christmas. I'll still take college football games on a Monday for the first time since Labor Day. Both bowl games today start early to ensure they don't interfere with Monday Night Football, but I'm not complaining. College football is college football. The offseason is longer than […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/21/24)

College football cleared the way for the expanded playoff to dominate the final Saturday before Christmas. We'll have plenty more bowls coming up during Christmas week, but this Saturday will be for the giant revenue-making abomination that is the expanded playoff. Hey, those NIL deals don't pay for themselves! We have three playoff games today, […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/20/24)

Friday gives us two bowl games and the first games of the expanded playoff. That makes this slate more interesting than just the early bowl games. We know the Battle for Lil' Sebastian won't have anyone opting out. Jacksonville State may have several sitting out, but we likely won't know until just before kickoff. We […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/18/24)

My picks on Saturday were irrelevant by kickoff since I was heavy on South Alabama and most of its offensive starters sat out. There was very little advanced warning leading up to the game. That could be the case again until the "important" games. We begin in Boca Raton with the Boca Raton Bowl between […]

We're less than a week away from the College Football Playoff beginning, with Indiana visiting Notre Dame on Friday night in the first game of the new 12-team tournament.

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Bowl Games Week 1 (12/17 Through 12/21 2024)

We have 10 games in this first week of bowl season, including the first four games of the expanded college football playoff. Does it make for better games early on in bowl season? Yes. Do we need three-loss teams with a chance for a championship? Not a chance. I closed out the regular season strong, […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/14/24)

Our first bowl games happen on the same weekend as the annual Army-Navy game. That gives us a little more variety than just the showdown slates. Bowl season now runs for a little over a month. That's going to take some getting used to, and not in a bad way. The first game is still […]

Ranking College Football Playoff Teams By Toughest Paths To The National Championship

The 12-team College Football Playoff is finally here, with the first-round set to kick off on Friday, December 20. It's so weird that we're about to see a playoff system in the FBS where teams could play as many as four playoff games. The bracket for the playoffs is odd. The four byes went to […]

College Football Betting Picks: Saturday, December 14, 2024 And Week 15 Results

The regular season and conference championships are over. For the first time in forever, we have the Army-Navy game coupled with a couple of bowl games on the same weekend.
