NBA Picks: January 5

Detroit Pistons versus Philadelphia 76ers

The Pistons are in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, while the 76ers look to edge closer to the .500 mark. The Pistons are “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the 76ers are “ice cold down”. However the 76ers at +10 on the Power Ranking Indicator are trending up, while the Pistons are +15 and on the decline. The teams have split the first two meetings of the season. The key will be the status of Joel Embiid who injured his shooting hand on December 31. If he plays on Friday, I  ... 

NFL Picks: Wild Card Round

Tennessee Titans versus Kansas City Chiefs

Tennessee enters a 7.5 point underdog after coming off a 9-7 regular season. The Chiefs have won their last four games and are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Titans are “ice cold down” and are at a +24 to +14 disadvantage on the Power Ranking Indicator.  Kansas City was the last meeting between the teams in December 2016 as a road underdog. I see the Chiefs continuing their hot play, advancing to the AFC Divisional round.

Atlanta Falcons versus Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are a 6 point favorite over the  ... 

NFL Super Bowl LII: New England Patriots receive the favorite tag

From 32 teams to 12, the NFL Playoffs are ready to kickoff with the Wild Card weekend. It is survival of the fitness from now on in the NFL.

Sports books have made their minds up on who they believe will win Super Bowl LII. Of course, it is Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Although the reigning Super Bowl winners didn’t go undefeated through the regular season like was predicted, the team is still expected to take home the Vince Lombardi trophy. Will New England lift the trophy again or will someone else beat the Patriots  ...

It’s STILL Bowl Season!

We went 1-1-1 on Friday to bring our Bowl record to 6-4-1. Let’s find a few winners for Saturday.

Saturday, Dec. 30

TaxSlayer Bowl

Mississippi State vs. Louisville (-7) | O/U: 63

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson leads a potent offense against a Mississippi State team that has lost their star quarterback and head coach. MSU ‘s defense is good enough to hold Louisville down for a little while but eventually I think this could turn into a high scoring game. Louisville’s defense can be exploited both running and passing so I expect freshman quarterback Keytaon Thompson to eventually  ... 

Can Manchester City finish the English Premier League undefeated?

Only once since the English Premier League started in 1992 has a team gone the entire season undefeated. That feat was accomplished by the 2003-04 Arsenal, which won 26 games and drew 12 while losing zero. Arsenal’s undefeated season came 100 years after Preston North End last went an entire league season without losing. To say it isn’t common in the top-flight of English football would be an understatement. However, Manchester City could equal the feat this term.

Manchester City has played 20 of the 38 game schedule without a loss. The team has accumulated 19 wins and one  ... 

Friday Bowl Fest!

A 1-1 split on Thursday brings our bowl record to 5-3. Here’s a look at Friday’s 5 game slate.

Friday, Dec. 29

Belk Bowl

Wake Forest (-3) vs. Texas A&M | O/U: 65.5

Texas A&M is playing for an interim coach as Kevin Sumlin was fired after the regular season and motivation could be lacking. Wake Forest is looking for their 2nd bowl win in a row and has a big advantage with quarterback John Wolford. This could be a high scoring game but I have more confidence in Wake Forest showing up with a big effort. Let’s  ... 

Bowling for $!

We go 1-0 yesterday to take our bowl record to 4-2. Let’s take a look at Thursday’s four game slate.

Thursday, Dec. 28

Military Bowl

Virginia vs. Navy (-1) | O/U: 52  ... 

NHL Picks: December 29

Buffalo Sabres versus New Jersey Devils

The Sabres come in with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, while the Devils are clinging to the lead in the Metropolitan division. New Jersey won easily as a road underdog on October 9 and hold a huge +27 to +2 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Buffalo is first in Team Volatility, which is another strong indicator to pick the Devils. Look for New Jersey to roll in a sleeper of a game.

Philadelphia Flyers versus Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay has the best record in the NHL and the Flyers are  ... 

NFL Picks: Week 17

Green Bay Packers versus Detroit Lions

The Packers head into the season finale at 7-8, while the Lions are 8-7. Neither Detroit won the first meeting between the teams this season as a road favorite on November 6. They hold the edge on the Power Ranking Indicator, +19 to +15. They also are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator versus “average down” for the Packers. Both teams are in the top 10 in Team Volatility, and as a 7.5 point favorite, bodes well for the Lions. The Lions will win the last game of the season to secure a  ...
