| Betting the Eagles to go over 8-8.5 wins for the Season |

| It has taken 22 years, but Los Angeles has the Rams back. They can have them. My strongest over/under NFL regular-season win total recommendation is Rams Under 7 1/2 victories. Todd Gurley and a strong defensive line can't cover up all the other Rams' weaknesses. It's not a fluke the Rams haven't made the playoffs in 11 years, nor finished in the top 10 in points and yards since 2006. ... read more |

| Sep 5, 2016 |
| Let's get started with the NFC today! 1 WAS REDSKINS - Can't believe these guys are +300 to win the division. They won it last year. Total disrespect. Cousins isn't a sexy QB, but he fits Gruden's system well. The WRs are top notch. The defense is solid. Too many flaws in the other clubs. 2 NY GIANTS - Eli to ODB will put up plenty of points. But the OL has holes and I am not sold ... read more |

1 GB PACKERS - Aaron Rodgers has Jordy Nelson back at WR and that will be a huge lift offensively.

Can't ever count out a team with a healthy Rodgers and an improved defense. 2 MIN VIKINGS - Thought for sure th ... read more |

1. IND COLTS - Have to put them here simply because of a healthy Luck. They finally seemed to get it that he needs an OL to keep him upright. Guy isn't made of steel and can't get hit to the ground 15 times a game. 2 years ago he tossed 40 TDs. TY Hilton and Donte Moncrief are nice WRs.

| Not going to waste any time. Let's get right to it. This is only 1-14. No trades. Though I believe we could see a few. Have a great night and hope your team has done their homework!
1 LA RAMS - Carson WENTZ. Fisher went small school with Air McNair and I will not be shocked when he does it here tonight. Not to get into trades, but I can see Foles getting dealt either back to Chip in ... read more |
| Number & Figures, Figures & Numbers! |
| Apr 25, 2016 |
| In Sports there is a stat and a number for everything. We apply it in handicapping in hopes of beating the spread, side or total. Basically everyone has the same information (some handicappers have better than others) so you would think everyone would come to the same conclusion. 'NOPE'! There are different variables that people look at when handicapping a game. Let's face you can be on the ... read more |
| Best Player in the 2016 NFL Draft is ... |
| Apr 24, 2016 |
| Both the Rams and Eagles traded up so they will be picking first and second in the NFL draft this year. Unless something unforeseen happens, I doubt either team selects the best player in the draft. I have St. Louis and Philadelphia each taking a quarterback with the Rams going for Jared Goff and the Eagles selecting Carson Wentz. Neither of those players is among the top two players in my view ... read more |
| Eagles Likely to Crash and Burn |
| Apr 21, 2016 |
| The Philadelphia Eagles have been relatively quiet since firing Chip Kelly before the end of his third season with them. The turbulence and controversy hasn't stopped, though. The Eagles just moved up to No. 2 in the draft by giving up their No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 draft choices this season plus their No. 1 and No. 2 draft picks next year to the Browns to move up six spots in the draft plus get ... read more |
| UNLV, Chris Beard Mess |
| Apr 17, 2016 |
| Put off hiring a college basketball coach for a week and make a million dollars. That's a formula UNLV accidentally stumbled upon with Chris Beard. Beard is one of those slimy Bobby Petrinoish kind of coaches whose word doesn't mean anything. UNLV looks bad on this, but Beard shouldn't emerge from this fiasco untainted. Beard gets his dream job of coaching Texas Tech - unless the Washington ... read more |
| In case you missed it in February. My MLB Best Bet Totals |
| Apr 1, 2016 |
| Sean Higgs is ready for the boys of Summer! These are my 'BEST BET' selections for each division.
AL EAST Tampa Bay Rays OVER 78 -- Rays added a couple bats over the winter. The pitching is always the strength of this team. They won 80 games last year with a terrible offense. They didn't bring in big name, sexy bats. But they have enough to get us this over. AL CENTRAL Clevel ... read more |
| Sean's Top MLB Rotations for 2016 |
| Mar 31, 2016 |
| I touched a few days ago on who and why I thought were the 5 worse rotations. Today, I look at the other end and focus on who my best rotations are.
1. NEW YORK METS - I'm a Yankees fan, so it pains me to type this. But the Mets, with Harvey, DeGrom and Syndergaard at the top, followed by Matz and Colon/Wheeler rounding out the staff. Wow. We have some hard throwing, strike out tossing arms. ... read more |
| Detroit Tigers Over 82.5 Wins -1.35 |
| Mar 31, 2016 |
| The best thing about the 2015 season for the Tigers is the season is over and in the rear view mirror. The 74 wins is the low point. Before last year the Tigers were averaging 91 victories a year from 2011 to 2014. The fate of the Tigers goes back to pitcher Justin Verlander. Last year Justin was just 5-8 with a decent era of 3.28. Arm injuries have held back the former Cy Young & MVP. From ... read more |
| MLB Underdog Betting |
| Mar 31, 2016 |
| The key to having a winning baseball season is finding value in the money line offered by the sportsbook and taking advantage of it. Value is simply the difference between the price being offered and the true chances of a team winning the game. I concentrate on finding value with underdogs. Amateur bettors just can’t comprehend it is possible to be profitable when losing more games than you win. T ... read more |

| Jeff's Top 5 MLB Bullpens in 2016
1) New York Yankees Aroldis Chapman and his 100 MPH fastball will have sit out the first 30 games. But, make no mistake, this bullpen has the talent and depth to withstand his absence. Lets start with Dellin Betances, who was ranked 5th in all of baseball with 29 holds last season. When I watch him pitch, I say to myself how ... read more |
| WHY SO MUCH ATTENTION ON DRAFTING A QUARTERBACK |
| Mar 29, 2016 |
| When has a #1 QB won a Super Bowl, I mean won a Super Bowl. Peyton Manning got the win, but he did very little. Last years winner was the Patriots, great quarterback who was drafted in the 6th round. Russell Wilson great quarterback drafted 3rd round. He too had a great defense. Ravens great defense. Giants great pass attack. Eli is like Dilfer , don't turn it over and let your defens ... read more |
| Texas Rangers Over 83 Wins -1.30 |
| Mar 29, 2016 |
| The last time we saw the Rangers they were in the midst of getting beat in the AL Play offs by Toronto. However before the Play offs started they were finishing off an outstanding season by winning the AL Western Division. After a terrible start and a bunch of injuries, first year Manager Jeff Bannister kept the Rangers focus. At the All-Star Break there were 42-46, while the LA Angeles were 4 ... read more |
| From Big Dance to Little Dance |
| Mar 29, 2016 |
| The inaugural Vegas 16 Tournament is the flip side to the NCAA Tournament. I'd be surprised if there were more than 100 tickets legitimately sold for Monday's opening round at Mandalay Bay. Oh yes, there were eight teams in the tournament not 16. Each team paid $50,000 for the dubious honor, receiving airfare and hotel accommodations. I'm thinking of competing against this tournament by lau ... read more |
| Turning Favorites into Underdogs with MLB BASEBALL |
| Mar 29, 2016 |
| There wasn’t much choice back in 1979, or for at least the next decade after that to follow. If you wanted to know something about an outcome of a game from a historical or technical perspective, you spent the time to do the laborious task of logging the results by hand, followed by the tedious hours of researching those handwritten results. You had better damn sure make your hypotheses good befo ... read more |
| Sean Higgs' MLB Pitching Rotation notes |
| Mar 26, 2016 |
| With MLB right around the corner, let me take a look at what I think are the 5 worse pitching staffs in baseball.
1 - ATLANTA BRAVES. Clearly in a rebuilding mode. They are led by JULIO TEHERAN. The kid is a solid 200 inning performer. Any other team, he would probably win 15-18 games. He is followed by MATT WISLER. He wasn't terrible after his June call up. But there will be more bumps over ... read more |

| Tourney Time: Dominant Frontcourts + Sparkplug Guards |
| Mar 22, 2016 |
| by Jim Feist
A smart handicapper looks at college basketball tournament time different than during the regular season. Certainly the games mean more, bringing added pressure on the players and coaching staff. Here are a few things I examine late in the college basketball season as teams are vying for conference championships and tournament positioning. *Depth: Yes, size ... read more |
| Best Value Bet to win the Big Dance |
| Mar 16, 2016 |
| As everyone knows there are a large number of teams in the biggest tournament in any sport. This is one of my favorite times of year and honestly can remember back to my High School days filling out brackets. My job here is to find the best value for your money. Well teams like KU at 9-2 and MSU and UNC at 11-2 hold zero value as they are expected to win. The two teams that offer the best value ar ... read more |
| Premier League Futures Pick 2015/2016 |
| Mar 16, 2016 |
Take Leicester City at -120 It's nothing short of a miracle that we still find Leicester City top of the Premier League table with eight fixtures to go, but here we are. They're five points clear of Tottenham Hotspur in second place and Arsenal is another six points back, and I don't think either London club will be able to catch the Foxes. Leicester's remaining schedule loo ... read more |
| Think Mets not Cubs |
| Mar 15, 2016 |
| Let's switch gears a second from basketball and talk baseball. Are they even going to have a 2016 National League season since everyone seems to think the Chicago Cubs are a lock for the World Series? As a long-time Cubs follower from the days of the late, great Ernie Banks, I can tell you to hoist up an Old Style but don't even dare to dream of a World Series. I'm still collecting pieces of my ... read more |
| Jeff's Top 3 MLB Season Win Total Best Bets for 2016 |
| Mar 5, 2016 |
| Here are my Top 3 MLB season win total best bets for the 2016 season.
1) Tampa Bay Rays (OVER 78) The Rays should be able to squeak out tighter games especially at home this season. They lost a bunch of 1-run tilts last season. The Rays were just 42-42 at home last season and should be much better at Tropicana Field this year. Their pitching looks strong an ... read more |

| Feb 28, 2016 |
| The other night I was looking at the odds and reading some articles, (like everybody does) and the Denver/Dallas NBA match up was about to come on. Early that morning after I did my home work (handicapping) I couldn't make up my mind on going with Denver plus the points (+5.5) or taking the Over 208. The entire day I kept thinking about the game. Well to make a long story short I ended up passi ... read more |
