DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/5/24)

We have another big eight-game prime-time slate to fill our Saturday night. Sure, MLB is going on, but wouldn't you rather watch Clemson-Florida State? Maybe not, but we have some nice games after that. Tennessee is hog hunting in Fayetteville. Baylor heads up to Ames. Michigan heads out west to Husky Stadium. USC gets to […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (October Update)

We are already a third of the way through the college football season. While some teams such as Florida State and Kansas have already been eliminated from the playoff discussion, we have far more that are still in the running. This pool of teams will shrink as the season wears on, but we here at […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 6

Week 5 had a couple of big upsets. One of the slumming FBS teams lost to an FCS foe. We had the misfortune of terrible officiating affecting the outcome of not one but two games. But hey...at least we were graced with a monumental Georgia-Alabama game. These rankings will vary greatly from the AP ones […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 5

We had several entertaining games in Week 4. Some teams set themselves apart. Some teams struggled when they shouldn't have *ahem...Missouri* Others got embarrassed by Group of Five teams. This caused a bit of a shakeup in the rankings. These rankings will vary greatly from the AP ones early in the season because I don't […]

Get a load of this prime-time slate, will ya? We've got some big games on here! Miami heads up through Alligator Alley to take on USF in Tampa. Cal heads to Tallahassee to take on the Seminoles.

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (9/21/24)

There are only 10 FBS vs. FCS matchups this week, so that means I have more picks to make! I'm all for that! I'm feeling good after a strong week last week. There are only two more games this week, but we still have a healthy 54-game week. I'm only picking FBS vs. FBS games […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 4

Most of the Week 3 fireworks happened on Friday night. There was a redemption of sorts for Kentucky and SEC teams establishing dominance outside of the conference. That will affect the rankings some and will cause mine to get closer to the AP Poll that everyone seems to love. These rankings will vary greatly from […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 4 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

It was a rough week for the RotoBaller readers group as a whole. EAGLESYANKEES77 led the way with 44 points. Only four other entries got 40 or more. Strangely enough, there wasn't a tie in points this week until 38 points (seventh place). That's what makes the confidence points so interesting! The big week from […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (9/14/24)

We are down to 62 games this week with 58 today. That means more FBS vs. FBS matchups! We have 49 of those today making this the most busy Saturday of picks so far this season. Are you ready? I'm only picking FBS vs. FBS games because even if casinos have a line on the […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 3

Whereas the first week of the 2024 season was mostly devoid of upsets, we had a couple of big ones in Week 2. Sure, they're less important with the expanded playoff, but it's still fun to root for the little guys (especially if you bet them outright). These rankings will vary greatly from the AP […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 9/12-13/24 And Week 2 Results

We have a light pre-weekend snack of two games each on Thursday and Friday. Thursday threw a FBS vs. FCS game in there, so I have three total picks to make before Saturday's monster (47 games). We will also recap what happened in Week 2 before moving on to Week 3. I am in the […]

College Football Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 2 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pickem Contests

The first week of ESPN College Pick Em saw one of our entrants hit 50 points. GreatestMomentsinFB is off to the early lead with their 50-point week. Chatter Chet, ESPNfan1861988199, and DomDame A Nator all notched 48 points. IRONmike is just one point behind. Don't bother looking for my entry. I had Virginia Tech as […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (9/7/24)

We have 75 games going on this Saturday, but as is customary in the early season, only 47 of them feature FBS vs. FBS teams. Hey, it's still better than the 37 we had last week. That doesn't concern us. I'm only picking FBS vs. FBS games because even if casinos have a line on […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Preseason

The AP's preseason polls are out, so I figure it's time to release mine as well. Not much has changed since the summer rankings went up at the end of spring practices. A few more players entered the portal with many that were in there choosing new homes. 64% of the more than 3,311 players […]

Top College Football Games You Must Watch In 2024 - NCAA College Football Season Preview

As of July 1, the Pac-12, or "Conference of Champions" as Bill Walton liked to call it, was no more. College football will never be the same. The Power-5 is a Power-4 now with the Big 12 (14) tentatively hanging on to power conference status. Also, 10 teams were thrown into already existing conferences with […]

NCAA College Football Top 25 Power Rankings - End Of Spring 2024 Rankings

We are entering a new era of college football. If you have read what I have written over any of the last two years, you know my feelings on playoff expansion. It cheapens the only great regular season in any sport. Sure, conference realignment is annoying and greedy morons in suits doomed the Pac-12, but […]

2024 NFL Draft Prospect Comparison: Trey Benson vs. Jaylen Wright

The 2024 NFL Draft class has been talked about extensively regarding the wide receiver and quarterback position and for good reason. With potentially five (!) quarterbacks projected in the top-15 picks and a deep list of wide receivers, it's easy to see why NFL scouts have been salivating over the game-changing potential these players possess. […]

Final Four Power Rankings and Preview

The Final Four is set to commence in Phoenix, Arizona this coming Saturday, with these four spectacular teams fighting to reach the pinnacle of college basketball: UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State.

CBB DFS: NCAA Tournament DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/29/24)

We had three good games out of the four last night. That's about as good as we can ask for. The rematch of the 2023 championship game was the only bust, which only reiterates how tough it's going to be to keep Connecticut from repeating. We start in Dallas tonight with Marquette taking on North […]

NCAA Second Chance Tournament Challenge - 2024 March Madness Brackets

Did Kentucky lay waste to your brackets? How about the Auburn team that was loved by the NET rankings? Maybe the BYU team that the metrics loved? I missed all of the Final Four teams from last season from the second chance bracket. There haven't been as many crazy upsets this year with all of […]

March Madness Power Rankings: Where Does Each Sweet 16 Team Stand?

And then there were 16. The first two rounds of the 2024 NCAA Tournament are in the books, which means we no longer have virtually unlimited high-stakes basketball for an entire weekend. That is a sad realization, but the tournament is just starting to heat up. All No. 1 and No. 2 seeds advanced to […]

CBB DFS: NCAA Tournament DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/23/24)

Our tournament day is truncated a bit today. There are only eight games instead of 16. It starts later and ends earlier, but it's still an all-day tilt fest. Trust me, we'll miss it when it's gone and that day is coming soon. Dayton and Arizona get the world to themselves before Kansas and Gonzaga […]

NCAA March Madness Day 1: Recap, Reactions, and Takeaways

One of the best days of the year is in the books. There's always a little sadness to it after that final buzzer sounds on the nightcap, but then you remember that you're going to wake up and run it back all over again and elation once again washes over you. No? Okay, maybe that's […]

Predicting Eight Eight, Final Four, and Championship Teams - 2024 NCAA March Madness

Early round upsets are fun, but correctly picking the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 is the real reason you win your bracket pool. People love to be right picking a big underdog when in reality only a handful make the Sweet 16 with even fewer advancing to the Elite Eight. As a general rule of […]

NCAA March Madness: Predicting the Leading Scorers of the First Round

There's nothing quite like the Madness of March. It's where dreams are crushed or become reality, heroes falter or heed the call, and legacies are solidified. Every year, there are a couple of players that captivate the country with their scintillating play and ridiculous shot-making ability. Within the past 20 years, we've had players like […]
