CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/10/24)

ESPN hasn't branded this as "Super Tuesday" yet, but we have some good games on tap tonight. The bad news is that two Big Ten (18) games are on Peacock. Thanks for nothing, NBC. We start at Madison Square Garden for the Jimmy V Classic between Tennessee and Miami. Next up are Penn State and […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/6/24)

It's another lighter night in the college basketball universe, but we still have a few good teams taking the court tonight. We even have another conference game in the Big Ten (18). Not bad for the Friday night of championship week in football! We start in Bloomington with Miami of Ohio making the trip. Georgetown […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 15

Ohio State loses to Michigan again, but it will only affect their playoff seeding, not their participation in said event. Miami's loss will have them sweating on Selection Sunday. Most of the playoff field will be set if indeed the committee keeps its word about participation in the conference championship game not negatively affecting the […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Top College Fantasy Football Players Week 13 (2024)

Welcome back to another season of Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch, where I highlight the best and brightest performances from the college football week. The SEC got nuked by five-loss teams and the Big 12 (16) is even more of a mess than last week. Which individual players put forth a good week? We will introduce […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/20/24)

We have a strong seven-game slate tonight with a couple of big matchups. We also have several impending blowouts, which can be tricky in DFS. Will that high-priced player be the one who does the damage to make it a blowout, or will he not go as hard as usual to keep himself fresh? We […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/16/24)

We are up to 42 games on Saturday despite a couple of SEC teams snacking on cupcakes this week. This is our busiest week in the last three weeks and I need a get-right week like Penn State had last week. Week 11 was brutal. I only got 18 of 50 picks right and lost […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 12 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

We have just three weeks left. "lbockenek" and "all the way up Big tee#2" both hit 50 points in Week 11. Six other entries had at least 45 points. "mr_richard" still leads the group with 431 points, but his lead dwindled to just three points over "lbockenek" with her big week. "big papi10" sits in […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/26/24)

We have another dozen games on the main slate today and there are some good ones to start the day. Ohio State hosts Nebraska. That never ends well for the Huskers. We have the Irish and Navy from the Meadowlands. Tulane is in the metroplex to face North Texas. Ole Miss hosts a struggling Oklahoma […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 9

No. 1 goes down again. Another top-10 team is pushed to the limit at home. Another causes goalposts to find a watery grave for the second time in three years. It's just another weekend of college football! These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. I go by what […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/19/24)

For the second straight week, we have a dozen games on the main slate. We've got some good ones in the noon window. Auburn heads to Missouri. Virginia heads to Clemson to take on the Tigers. Miami is in Louisville for a date with the Cardinals. Nebraska is looking to spoil Indiana's undefeated start in […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (10/19/24)

We have our busiest Saturday since Week 3 with 48 games today. Most teams are in conference play now and most have had their bye. This is where the grind starts to hit. I finished 25-27 last week but still won nine betting points. After a disastrous Week 6, that's exactly what I needed. Let's […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 8 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

I had my best week in a long while last week, only missing the 1-point pick that I was trying to steal. "Stott not Scott" had a perfect week, and "EAGLESYANKEES77" tied with me in the near-perfect week. "Kev Shep," BKNoleGirl," "IUBB1!," "IRONmike," and "keepingthelittlehumansalive" all hit 50 or more points as well. The good […]

Bold Predictions for Week 8 - 2024 College Football

The Week 7 college football slate was complete chaos and amidst the chaos, last week’s bold predictions were missed again. Ohio State fell at Oregon, BYU steamrolled Arizona, and USC sputtered late to lose to Penn State in overtime. Another 0-3 record on bold predictions marks back-to-back down weeks. Meaning we’ve got to be due […]

DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/28/24)

Get a load of this prime-time slate, will ya? We've got some big slate (eight games) and some big games (Alabama-Georgia, anyone?) making this one of the most exciting slates we've had in a while. We begin in Houston with the Cyclones in town. Stanford learns just how big the ACC is when they head […]

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 […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/20/24)

We only had a showdown last night. At least we get a proper three-game warm-up before a huge slate tomorrow. Man, I love college football! Are you with me? First up, we have Stanford in the Loud House. Next up is a top-25 showdown in Lincoln with the Illini visiting. We end this out in […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 9/19-20/24 And Week 3 Results

This week we only have three games combined between Thursday and Friday before our largest betting day of the season so far. We have 60 games on Saturday with 50 of them featuring FBS vs. FBS teams. That's 50 picks for me to make! But first, we have to go over what happened in Week […]

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 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 […]

Top Head Coaching Candidates for Kentucky Men's Basketball - 2024 NCAA Basketball

The college basketball offseason has officially begun. The UConn Huskies were crowned National Champions on Monday, completing their repeat title quest which had not been done since 2006-07. Hundreds of players have already thrown their names in the portal and most head coaching vacancies have been filled to get a head-start on roster building. However, […]

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 (3/30/24)

Two Final Four tickets will get punched today with the other two teams decided tomorrow. Defending National Champion Connecticut is still alive as are three ACC teams.

CBB DFS: NCAA Tournament DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/28/24)

The NIT Final Four is set, but more importantly, the NCAA Tournament is back on! We whittled it down from 68 teams to 16 and this year's second weekend is littered with chalk. That's kind of disappointing after last year. For the first time since 2005, all of the top eight seeds advanced to the […]

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 […]

CBB DFS: NCAA Tournament DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/21/24)

The early wave features Michigan State […]

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 […]
