NFL Week 8: Three Games to Bet Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons The Packers are heading to Atlanta this Sunday and will hope to capitalize on the weakness the Falcons have shown over the last two weeks. The Falcons have lost their last two in close games that they arguably should have won. They will be looking to gain momentum that they had been rolling on since week 2 in this home showdown. The Packers are not what we expected them to be this year but they’re also not terrible. The Falcons are 83% against the spread in their ...

NFL Week 8 Thursday Night Football: Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
NFL Week 8 Thursday Night Football: Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans The Jacksonville Jaguars are meeting the Tennessee Titans for a garbage-fest of thursday night football. Both teams have won two of their last three with those two wins being the only ones Jacksonville has managed to steal all season. Both teams have lost to essentially every decent team they’ve played with their wins coming from the likes of Cleveland, Miami, Chicago etc. At Z-Code we try to recommend to our followers that they avoid games exactly like this. When two bad teams play against each other there is little ...
2016 NHL Preview: The Western Conference
2016 NHL Season Preview: The Western Conference Vancouver Canucks The Canucks are a train wreck of mediocre goaltending and aging veterans without any solid prospects outside of Bo Horvat and Jake Virtanen. The team made weak offseason moves by trading Jared McCann, one of their few strong young players, for Erik Gudbranson and then paid way to much to acquire Loui Eriksson. This will surely be a disappointing season, and likely next few seasons, for fans in Vancouver. Arizona Coyotes This is a developing team with a ton of talented young players and a few solid veterans. However, the Coyotes ...
NBA 2016-17 Complete Season Preview
NBA 2016-17 Complete Season Preview West 1: Golden State Warriors 72-10 The Warriors were dominant last year breaking the Chicago Bulls’ record for most wins in a season. They, however, performed poorly by comparison in the playoffs where they narrowly beat the Thunder and then lost to the Cavs in the championship series. The Warriors have made a series of roster moves that stands to improve on what was arguably already the best all-around squad in the NBA. Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut are the most notable players they lost in free agency. However, the acquisition of superstar, Kevin Durant, ...
Who to Bet- Monday Night Football Preview: Washington Redskins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers at Washington Redskins: Smart Money is on the Redskins The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Washington Redskins in Washington for part 1 of the NFL’s week 1 Monday Night Football double header. The Steelers are currently the Vegas favorites with a -127 moneyline and a spread of -2.5. I imagine you’re feeling tempted to bet the Steelers tonight. They’re a likely playoff team if the offense can stay healthy and wouldn’t be considered a long shot for Super Bowl contention. They have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL when Big Ben is healthy. The Redskins ...
Blue Jays and Giants: Progression B-bets
Saturday July 16, 2016: Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants If you followed yesterday’s post, we went 3/5 and have two B-bets today to finish our progressions. Be sure to continue to follow this blog as we will post a new round of progressions when these 3-game series are over.
The bets are as follows:
Giants B bet: 4.35 to win 2.9
The Giants lost last night because they gave up an early lead and struggled to hit the ball- something they rarely do. Tonight they have Samardzija starting on the mound (a top 50 pitcher) and we can ...
MLB Picks: New York Mets at San Diego Padres
MLB Picks: New York Mets at San Diego Padres We’re riding the New York Mets heavy to start the year, but they haven’t let us down yet. The San Diego Padres have been a weak team in a weak division for a while, despite spending a good amount of money in free agency two seasons ago. Ultimately, you have one of the best teams in baseball playing really well and visiting an all around poor team. I think that’s a great time for a system progression.
The Mets have a big pitching edge here and will for the first two games. ...
MLB Picks: Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees
MLB Picks: Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees The New York Yankees are an interesting team. They pitch well enough, but nobody is truly dominant. The bullpen is solid, but you have to get to the end of the game with a lead if you’re going to use that bullpen. The lineup is old, and nobody is particularly dynamic, but they’re doing enough to win games. A balance of speed, some power, and a lot of experience and smart approaches make the New York Yankees really tough.
The Oakland Athletics are a long way from home. Traveling coast to coast ...
March Madness 2016 NCAA National Championship Game: Nova vs UNC
NCAA National Championship Predictions: Villanova vs UNC Well, I was not high enough of Villanova. The kids from Philly can just flat out shoot. I thought they would struggle in the tournament but they have cruised to the National Championship. It’s been a very impressive run, but they take on the favorite to win it all in UNC and absolutely have their work cut out for them. The -2 line seems to have plenty of value on the Tar Heels.
But something about this doesn’t feel right. You have a scrappy team of sharp shooters in Villanova taking on a program ...
NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings
NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings Consider of all our logic and reasoning from last night’s win against the Montreal Canadiens, add a back to back, and substitute a team that has won four of five instead of nine in a row. It looks like an awfully similar equation, and I like the LA Kings to beat the Habs tonight.
The Canadiens are playing better, as evidenced by the overtime battle they just had on the road with one of the best teams in hockey. Now, however, they will insert a backup goalie for the man who kept them ...
