Wilson: My Projected College Football Over/Unders for All Week 10 Games
Forrest Gump once described the different kinds of rain as… “Little bitty stingin’ rain, big ol’ fat rain, rain that flew in sideways… it even rained at night.” Forrest, a former kick returner for the Crimson Tide, was obviously referring to every college football game in Week 9. From Muncie to Ann Arbor to Murfreesboro,…

Wilson: My Projected Odds for Every Week 10 College Football Game
For a third consecutive week, the College Football Playoff landscape got rocked with a major upset. Oklahoma failed in a comeback attempt at Kansas State, led by fumbles and a wide receiver pass that turned into a Wildcats pick six. Credit goes to Kansas State, but the Big 12 may have disqualified itself from the…

Wilson: Why I Bet BC vs. Syracuse Right Away in Week 10
The Week 9 openers from Circa Sportsbook could be best described as volatile. Michigan opened at -4 and took on nothing but Notre Dame money last Saturday, enough to move the number to the Irish -1. TCU opened -2.5 at the Vegas shop, taking nothing but Longhorns money and flipping the favorite to Texas. In…

Georgia vs. Florida Odds Impacted by Early Sharp Action
This week’s college football slate certainly isn’t the most exciting of the season, but it is anchored by Georgia vs. Florida, a perennial must-see matchup. But just because a game is “big” or nationally televised doesn’t necessarily make it interesting from a betting perspective. Long-term winners focus solely on the potential value a line offers,…

NBA Sharp Report: Did Pro Bettors Predict Kawhi Leonard’s Absence?
Tonight’s Clippers vs. Jazz matchup looks a whole lot different than it did a few hours ago.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Props: Is there Betting Value on Big Men?
Betting on props can be one of the easiest ways to build your bankroll.

World Series Game 7 Sharp Report: Buyback Moving Nationals vs. Astros Odds
We have a fairly important baseball game tonight, which will be the last of the 2019 season no matter what happens.

World Series Game 5 Betting Picks, Predictions & Odds: Do Nationals Have a Prayer Without Scherzer?
Editor’s note: Max Scherzer was scratched from Sunday’s Game 5; Joe Ross will start in his place. Washington is reportedly hoping to get 75-80 pitches out of Ross.
