Is it possible the Patriot League and Big South could each send two teams to the FCS playoffs? It’s possible. Although it isn’t eligible for the automatic bid that goes with winning the Patriot League title, Fordham is eligible for an at-large berth as it ...

Of course the SEC division races were going to be exciting, but it could be rather simple if all goes as planned. Alabama has some work to do in the West, but they are the only team without a loss in the division. The Crimson Tide’s toughest remaining games, against LSU and Arkansas, are at home. Even if Alabama manages to lose to LSU, they only have to worry about a one loss Tiger squad surpassing them in the standings and it is quite likely that LSU will lose again at some point. In the East, Georgia is squarely in the driver’s seat. ...

2014 NFL DRAFT - RISERS and FALLERS, or STUNNERS and BUMMERS - WEEK 4

Week 4 did not provide that many interesting or competitive games as blowouts were abundant in college football. But there are always some developments worthy of noting in relation to the NFL draft and I did find one player that you won't find on any pre-season draft lists, along with a QB who wasn't even supposed to start. Both would qualify as STUNNERS as they ...

Betting Turf Week 5 Football

The key to being a sharp is not only picking more winners than losers, but also finding the best lines and odds for your bets. An extra half point here, an extra point there makes a huge difference over the course of a season. Unfortunately, we will not ...

First Four Out: Providence, Virginia Tech, Memphis, William & Mary

Of course there is a long way to go, but last week it seemed nobody wanted to claim the top spot in the bracket. The Tar Heels, who are still projected to end up as the top overall seed come November, did not have a good week. It took UNC overtime to beat Campbell 1-0 and ...
