Each week we use our NFL predictive model to help pick and choose games against the spread for the LVH SuperContest. Each week 5 games must be chosen against the spread as we compete against 745 other teams to see who’s the best NFL bettor. Each week we take the model’s most confident play (measured by a 5 brain scale)… Read more »
Ladbroke’s, one of the leading UK bookmakers, offers continually updated regular season win totals for all NFL teams. Sadly, we can’t find any US-facing books that offer updated lines. But they should take note and start offering these sorts of bets. But back to the current regular season win total odds. Not surprisingly, the Texans… Read more »
We officially have a  multi-team battle for first place as Rob Longley, our northern neighbor from the Toronto Sun, has reclaimed the lead. Longley recorded a 5-0 week, bumping his win percentage up to 57.58% for the year. He took the lead from Don Best’s Todd Fuhrman who hit just 1 of 5 picks this… Read more »
Well, it just so happens that last week wasn’t the best week for our model to select all favorites for our LVH SuperContest plays. In case you don’t know this routine by now, we built a model that we blindly follow — in hopes of winning the LVH SuperContest. Well, seeing that favorites went 2-12… Read more »
Last week, we admit that we were too caught up in the battle between Pro Football Weekly’s Mike Wilkening against the UFC’s announcer-of-all-trades Jon Anik. We completely overlooked the other media member tied for second — the former bookmaker (and heavy favorite,) Todd Fuhrman. A flawless 5-0 week was had by Fuhrman, helping him jump to a… Read more »
Back in May Cantor released the early line for tonight’s Chargers-Broncos game at San Diego -2.5. Last’s week’s look-ahead line matched the two-and-a-half point spread and earlier this week the game opened at that mark.  Steady as can be, right?  Well, since opening, the line has been extremely temperamental to say the least. After the… Read more »

Just a few weeks ago, LSU was 4 to 1 to win the BCS title. Now, after a loss to Florida, the Tigers have dropped to 21 to 1 to win it all. Meanwhile, Alabama is still the chalk. At 5Dimes, Alabama +140 to win the title. That’s not surprising given Alabama’s performance and, well,… Read more »
After a strong showing last week (69.09% win rate), we saw a week 5 regression as our media mavens hit at a 42.37% win rate. With that being said, 7 of our 12 contestants are .500 or better on the season. So there’s that. In a stunning turnaround last week’s co-leader from the north, Rob… Read more »
At the beginning of the season Cantor listed tonight’s Texans-Jets as a pick ‘em. One week ago the look ahead line was Houston -4. Tonight the Texans head to MetLife stadium as 9-point favorites. That’s right, the Jets perception couldn’t get much lower while the 4-0 Texans have exceeded expectations. Reports heading into tonight’s game show… Read more »
