Monday Night Football Week Five: Atlanta Falcons Vs New York Jets

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Five: Monday Night Football – New York Jets at Atlanta Falcons

Z-Code is all over the dirty birds at home tonight, even with the ten point spread. There’s only a moderate amount of conflict in the line, which is rare when spreads get this out of control. In a battle between two mediocre teams (so far, at least), we side with the team we still have significantly higher expectations for.

I don’t think the Jets are very good. I know they’ve played well enough to win tight games against decent opponents, but I don’t know  ... 

NFL Picks Week Five: Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Five: Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys

This game has looked screwy from the start. A seven-point spread doesn’t seem appropriate here, given how poorly the Cowboys have played this year and given Peyton Manning’s world-obliterating performance so far this year.

Public money agrees with us. Walking right into Vegas’ little trap, Z-Code money trackers show approximately 70% of the money coming in on the Broncos. Personally, I think this spread should be double digits. As such, I find value, just like everyone else, on the Broncos.

Z-Code likes the Broncos in a moneyline wager here.  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions 10/5: Washington Capitals at Dallas Stars

NHL Picks and Predictions 10/5: Washington Capitals at Dallas Stars

Not an easy pick, but another game with good value and a low confidence wager that I really like today.

I don’t think the Stars are a good team. We bet against them with the Florida Panthers in the VIP Club in the opener, and I see value here again. The Washington Capitals should be contending for a playoff spot. I don’t think the Stars will do the same.

Washington is the better team. They’re coming off a competitive game against a contender, and I think they ride the momentum  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions 10/4: New Jersey Devils Vs New York Islanders

NHL Picks and Predictions 10/4: New York Islanders at New Jersey Devils

These aren’t the New York Islanders of old. Nor are they the New York Islanders of the 80s. The New York Islanders are somewhere very much in between – no longer terrible but still not a legitimate contender.

The New Jersey Devils aren’t the Devils of old either. Gone are the days of reasonable Stanley Cup expectations, and here are a bunch of long-shot underdogs in the final days of a living legend in net. They already had one magical Stanley Cup run… maybe this group has a run  ...

WEEK 2 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

WEEK 2 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

What a great week! What a scores! What a drama! Lets look closer!

Panamera 29 : 30 The JJ SWATT Team

Wild Cliff led his great team to second victory like a real capitan. In high scoring game win just by 1 point, public simply loves it! Panamera was even stronger than last week, but life goes in cycles. Last time they took victory in last seconds, this time fortune went in the opposite direction. Well done to all of you guys! Exciting matchup1  ... 

2013-14 NHL Predictions, Pacific Preview: Vancouver Canucks Still on Top?

Pacific Division 2013-14 NHL Preview and Predictions

1. Vancouver Canucks: New coach could signal a new era, but the departure of Cory Schneider should leave this goaltending unit a bit weaker than it’s been over the last few years. Even if Luongo isn’t the guy, however, there’s too much depth in Vancouver. The twins are playing for a contract, the defensive unit is great as always, and they have two legitimate scoring lines. I think that’s enough for one of the most consistent franchises in hockey to continue being consistent.

2. Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks lost Bobby Ryan  ... 

NHL Predictions 2013-14, Metropolitan Division: New York Rangers or Pittsburgh Penguins?

NHL PREDICTIONS, 2013-14 SEASON PREVIEW: Metropolitan Division

The NHL season returns to us this week, so we thought we’d throw some season previews  and predictions your way. My favorite division after the shuffle is definitely the Metropolitan Division. It’s comprised of eight teams that could conceivably be playoff contenders, that now must battle through each other to try to make the postseason.

As a Devils fan, I hate the new system and hate this new division. It’s absolutely loaded. Nevertheless, this is definitely the most fun division for me to break down. Might as well start out the season having  ... 

NFL Picks Week Four: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams, Thursday Night Football

NFL Picks and Predictions, Week Four: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams – Thursday Night Football

There are two trends, three really if you consider the downward spiral of the 49ers to be a trend, that make me very nervous about this game. First, Thursday Night Football always favors the home team. Since its inception into the NFL, the lack of prep time and the travel considerations of a shorter week always favor the home team. Second, the Rams beat the Niners last year in two tight, divisional rivalry games.

First, I don’t think the Rams’ wins last year  ... 

WEEK 1 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

WEEK 1 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

Very exciting start! Small upsets and bright victories! Just like in major leagues! We had a lot of great, tight battles, many games was decided in last day by last pick!

The Spot 21 : 29 Mustangs

The Spot faced against best team in week 1. Both sides showed great performance and went 3:1. Mustangs just choose amazing odds and got 8 points more. Details decided here, maybe home field advantage ? No doubts both teams are very very strong, be aware!  ... 

NFL Picks Week Three: Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday Night Football

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Three: Sunday Night Football – Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers

This is one of many interesting trap games this week. The line seems to lend a ton of value to the Chicago Bears, and while I and the rest of the community are on them with some degree of confidence, let me explain why there’s some risk involved in this pick.

First of all, the Chicago Bears line is an abomination. Jay Cutler is on his back more than Jenna Jameson in her prime – before all those plastic surgery operations messed up her face.

MLB Picks and Predictions 9/21: LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres

MLB Picks and Predictions: LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres

Clayton Kershaw is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball. In a pitcher’s park, he likely is in for a great game. Still, the Dodgers are cold and Z-Code finds value on the home dogs here.

I respectfully disagree and am low confidence on the Dodgers. While they’re cold, there’s a ton of value on Kershaw here. I also think against Burch Smith, the Dodgers bats are due to wake up.

With Kershaw struggling over his last three starts and Burch Smith being Burch Smith, Z-code and I are in agreement  ...
