If you think a 12-team CFP will get more teams involved, think again. Also: Uncertainty in the FCS semi’s, big-time college basketball, redshirt resolution, and we cannot win bets these days.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, December 14th
Picking what we can find tonight, and this week’s NFL futures.
Stu’s Notes: The Last Days of Kenny Payne
Kenny Payne did not get his fifth win of the year last night. Kentucky is seven days away. Also! Big Ben’s Steelers lament, Joe Kelly’s Hall of Fame thought, and is getting suspended a backdoor to load management?
Joe’s Notes: The Alexandria Wizards
A proposal to keep teams from fleeing to the suburbs. Also: the FSU “lawsuit,” the transfer lawsuit, and the Dodgers’ Sisyphean pursuit of triumph.
Stu’s Notes: Sean Stellato’s Existence, and What It Implies About Taylor Swift
The NFL might be rigged. Also: Heinous act draws NBA ejection, Draymond struck a man, Juwan Howard might’ve been set up, and Louisville is being Louisville.
Stu’s Notes: Great Athletes Who’ve Worn Number 99
Joe Kelly vs. Wayne Gretzky. Also: Tommy DeVito’s agent makes it weird, the Finns are fighting, the eggnog is located, and someone stole our poop.
Joe’s Notes: Does the NFL Have Too Many Good Teams?
It’s hard to win. Also: The Joe Barry question, more on Ohtani’s money, Oregon State & Washington State’s reign of terror, Connor Bedard, and the Bulls should trade Coby White.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, December 11th
Monday Night Football, finding some college basketball, and a first crack at the latest FCS markets.
Joe’s Notes: How Much Is a Shohei Ohtani Worth?
Why the deferred money matters, and why it doesn’t. Plus: Matt Entz leaves NDSU, a Joe Flacco Hall of Fame thought, and the Bulls’ long December.
