Recapping MNF’s O/U Prop Bets Alright football fans, you’re going to like this one. If you’ve ever had to sweat out an NFL game in hopes of winning some cash, this one’s for you. Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Las Vegas Raiders at home, and came away with the win. As a Raiders fan, it was rough to watch. But as someone who knows a thing or two about sports betting, I’m a happy man. Without further ado, let’s break down how my picks went… Patrick Mahomes OVER 2.5 Total TD Before: As I mentioned before,…
Should the Raiders Move on from Derek Carr? Love him or hate him, statistically, Carr has has been the best quarterback the Raiders have had in history. Of course, the game has evolved since the days of Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett, but the fact remains. Since 2015, no quarterback has had more game winning drives (29) and fourth quarter comebacks (23) than Carr… The media will formulate their own opinions on the veteran quarterback from Fresno, and rightfully so. But in reality, no one, not the media, not the players, and certainly not the fans, could ever say that…
Syracuse 5-0 for First Time Since 1987 The last time Syracuse was this good, life looked a lot different… “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”, ~ President Ronald Reagan 1987 If you’re a college football fan and you remember Ronald Reagan’s famous Berlin Wall speech, that was the last time the Orange started off their season 5-0. Yes, it was 35 years ago, in 1987… For perspective, TV shows like “The Simpsons” and “Full House” made their debuts on national television that year. Beverly Hills Cop 2 had just hit the box office. Michael J Fox was the “teenage heartthrob”…
The 2021 Detroit Lions did not deserve to go 3-13-1 in 2021. If you watched any of their games last year, you would know that they stayed competitive throughout the entire season. Yes , they might have had a few blowouts, but for the most part, they kept NFL fans on the edge of their seats. Six of the 13 matchups they ended up losing last year got really close at the end of the game. Four of those six losses were decided by a three points or less. Essentially, had Detroit kicked a field goal in any one of…
Right now, college football is in a realignment frenzie. UCLA and USC want out of the Pac-12. Texas and Oklahoma announced that they wanted to leave the Big-12 last year. With all of these schools switching conferences, it makes me wonder. What if Syracuse moved back to the historic Big East? What would it mean for their sports programs, especially their basketball team? But this isn’t a basketball website, this article will be all about football. Syracuse football had some good times in the Big East too, look at Donovan McNabb and Marvin Harrison (pictured below)… Drowning in the Atlantic…
Here are some promising young rookies that you should keep an eye out for this upcoming NFL season… #1 Travon Walker Walker is a guy who really reminds me a lot of someone like a Von Miller. His elite versatility is one of his strong suits. He’s lightning quick, and can drop back into coverage if called upon. He’s also very explosive coming off the line, and is strong enough to make that crucial stop on 4th and one. He can pretty much play just about anywhere, which is another reason why we saw him get drafted first overall. As…
The Giants and Big Blue look to improve upon their 4-13 form in 2021. “Winning five games will be easy!” If you’re one of those people that thinks that winning five games is easy, you’re in luck. That’s exactly what the New York Giants said this same time last year. Any team can say that they’re going to the playoffs, but actually making it there is another thing. The Giants haven’t “made it there” since 2016. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, its pretty obvious that New York hasn’t had the best of luck since then. But once again,…
College Counterpart: AFC North Have you ever wondered who the “Alabama of the NFL” was, or the “New York Jets of College Football”? What is the college football equivalent of your favorite NFL team? Have they always been good, or have they been in a “rebuilding” phase for the past 50 years? In this article, I’ll be covering all of that in as much detail as possible. I’ll start off by listing the closest college by geography, and then comparing it to it’s NFL counterpart. Without further ado, lets begin with the AFC North. Baltimore Ravens: Maryland Terrapins Other than geography,…
If you are a NYG fan, this article is for you. As a Raider fan myself, I’ll be co-hosting a podcast centering around nothing else but Big Blue. My buddy, who is also my co-host, has been a huge New York Giants fan his whole life. I obviously don’t have any problem with the team, and actually look forward to showing them some support this season. A lot of my family on the east coast bleed blue and red, so I definitely have a sweet spot in my heart for them as well. With that being said, let’s dive right…
