Welcome back RotoBallers. In this column, I will be providing you with my Farmers Insurance Open PGA DFS lineup picks for DraftKings. My goal as always is to help put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups. The 29-year-old Hudson Swafford shot a third- round 59 en route to winning the CareerBuilder Challenge, his first win on PGA Tour. Swafford finished... Read More
Welcome back RotoBallers. In this column, I will be providing you with my CareerBuilder Challenge PGA DFS lineup picks for DraftKings. My goal as always is to help put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups. The 23-year-old Justin Thomas has been tearing it up lately. Two weeks ago he won the SBS Tournament of Champions...

Week 16 finally knocked most survivor contestants out of pools, leaving around 20 people left in survivor pools. Week 16 solidified each AFC playoff team and cleared up the NFC picture. There are two spots up for grabs; the Packers, Lions, and Redskins are all vying for it. If the Redskins win and Packers-Lions does not... Read More
Survivor pools still have a good amount of contestants left due to the lack of big upsets this season. I keep waiting and waiting for a heavy favorite to go down, but it's not happening. Just like last week I will be picking all 16 games, in descending order of picks I would make. Also note, most of... Read More
For all of you who chose the Colts, on my advice, and were subsequently knocked out, it’s not the end of the world. The Texans are the favorites to win their division, so you can bet against Brock Osweiler in the playoffs and win your survivor money back! I'm here, as always, to try and help... Read More
I would like to congratulate Jeff Fisher on his two- year contract extension. As a fan, this is great. We get to see Jeff Fisher struggle to find his challenge flag for two more years! I'm here, as always, to try and help you identify the best survivor pool targets and avoids for Week 14 of... Read More
At about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, it really looked and felt like it was going to be upset Sunday. The Jaguars, Rams, and 49ers, all seven-point underdogs, led 7-0. The Browns, also seven-point underdogs, were tied with the Giants. But every single favorite pulled through. There hasn't been an upset Sunday in a while, but... Read More
Now the real season begins. Bill Parcells and Cris Collinsworth believe when Thanksgiving arrives, football really begins. This is where teams separate themselves from the pack. Thursday is a loaded slate. Each game features a division winner. I will not be making selections in any of the Thursday games and I suggest you do the... Read More
After 10 long weeks for fans of the Los Angeles Rams, they finally have something to cheer for! Jared Goff will be getting his first start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. How funny it would be if Goff was awful, but doubtful that happens. Jeff Fisher will have a gameplan on Sunday featuring checkdowns,... Read More
The NFL is so unpredictable. I thought the Packers were the lock of the year against the Colts last week. But as soon as the Colts returned the opening kickoff, they took control of the game, never relinquishing the lead. There are no stats that can account for something like that to happen. I'm here, as always,... Read More
Congratulations if you've made it this far in your survivor pools. You've survived half of the NFL season, well done RotoBallers. There is still half a season to go now, and this is where survivor pools get really fun. I'm here, as always, to try and help you identify the best survivor pool targets and... Read More
What's up RotoBallers. Welcome back to my weekly column for survivor league pools, giving you my NFL teams to target as survivor league picks - and those to avoid as well. This will be one of the hardest weeks to make your survivor pick. The Rams, 49ers, Ravens, Steelers, and Giants are on bye. With six... Read More
Perhaps the playing level has diminished, but what about the coaching? Mike McCarthy this Sunday made some boneheaded decisions. On 4th and 1 from the Dallas 19 in the first quarter trailing 7-0, he kicks a field goal. Two drives later on 4th and 2 from the Dallas 25, McCarthy settles again. Although Aaron Rodgers has been...

Through five weeks of the season, it’s safe to pronounce the Houston Texans as this year’s good bad team. They’ll defeat the bad teams, but get crushed by the good ones. The Texans had trouble defeating the Bears, Chiefs, and Titans. They got smoked by the Patriots and didn’t seem too interested in playing football... Read More
The NFL schedule impacts each team in drastic ways. The Eagles opened with the Browns and Bears at home, then destroyed Pittsburgh. What if the schedule was turned around and the Eagles opened with the Steelers? The Steelers would have been a favorite and my guess is they would have won. If the Eagles lost... Read More
There are 31 teams that are too hard to get a grasp of, and then there’s the New England Patriots. They are the only reliable team week to week. I think my third rule for survivor, saving the best teams until the end, is no longer viable. Each week, take the team with a favorable... Read More
Week 3 is do or die for some NFL teams. Starting a season 0-3 spells doom. In NFL history, only five teams have made the playoffs after starting 0-3. Teams like the Bills, Colts, and Washington are in must-win situations. More on these matchups below. Editor's Note: Be sure to check out FantasyAces DFS contests for... Read More
It was one of the best opening weekends the NFL has had in some time. Week 1 ended after the ultimate duel between Case Keenum and Blaine Gabbert. They combined to throw for 300 total yards. Astonishing. This highlight doesn’t even show a pass that Keenum completed. Is Jeff Fisher really sure Jared Goff isn’t... Read More
As you all know football is back. I'm not going to bore you about cliches. Rather, let's get right into week one. Week one is always the hardest week to gamble on. This year’s opening weekend is one of the more difficult in recent years. I have scrolled through the lines at sportsbook.ag more than 20... Read More
James Hahn defeated Roberto Castro in a playoff to capture the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow. Castro hit one of the most unlikely shots in the playoff; hitting the ball off a man's head and then landing in a shoe. Hahn was awful at this course in recent year's, but managed to win. It shows how unpredictable a... Read More
Charley Hoffman won his first PGA Tournament since 2014, holding off Patrick Reed by one stroke. If you just want to see my picks for this coming tournament, then you can scroll past this introduction. For my picks; Brandt Snedeker (T25, 5- under), Bryson DeChambeau (missed cut), Jason Kokrak (missed cut), Daniel Summerhays (T13, 7-... Read More
Former number one in the world Luke Donald was unable to convert his 54-hole lead into a victory as Branden Grace shot 5-under 66 in the final round to win his first PGA Tour event. Russell Knox finished runner-up with Donald (I chose Knox in my column last week.) Four of my eight selections missed... Read More
Jordan Spieth looked like he would run away with The Masters and defend his title after 63 holes. But a quadruple bogey on the Par-3 12th, did him in. Let's not say Spieth choked, because playing in front of that many people is unfathomable, but rather collapsed. Danny Willett played tremendous golf Sunday to win... Read More
Jim Herman captured his first PGA Tour victory holding off Henrik Stenson by one stroke to win the Shell Houston Open. I have picked Herman many times in this column in the past and I am glad the 38-year-old finally broke through. Stenson's second place finish is another tournament where he fell short. The Swede has... Read More
