The return of our moneyline parlays.
Stu’s Notes: Is Ed Cooley Even a Good Coach?
Being good with people is only part of the job. Also: Joe Kelly’s Nobel Prize candidacy, Yasiel Puig’s innocence, and when do the Jared Goff chants get old?
Joe’s Notes: What Luka’s 73-Point Night Says About Our Children
The three-point shot is generational. Also: The NFL’s next great QB debate, Iowa State hosts Kansas, and the Big Ten’s new tournament format.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, January 26th
Back to moneylines.
BFN: Kyle Shanahan Played at Texas?
Feminded of something old every day.
NIT Bracketology: January 26th, 2024
The return of Penny Hardaway, Tony Bennett vs. Washington State, and a little bit of Zot. For the people.
Stu’s Notes: Yet Another Massive College Football Transition
They’re replacing the hedges in Athens. Also: Luka vs. Zion vs. food, a coed idea for Team USA, Nick Dunlap Bust Watch, and a potential Game of the NITe of the Year.
Joe’s Notes: How Badly Did Michigan Want Harbaugh to Stay?
The weird ending to the glorious era. Also: What comes now in Ann Arbor? Is Bill Belichick unwanted? A 36-team NHL might work. And Northwestern fans have a presence now.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, January 25th
No moneylines tonight, but our two favorite options.
Stu’s Notes: The Hall of Fame Is Doing Just Fine
Cooperstown will eventually admit steroid users. For now, enjoy what we have. Also: Hockey Canada clarity, more court storming, Chicago vs. Hiroshima, and—as always—the Game of the NITe.
Joe’s Notes: The Bucks Let Giannis Learn
There’s a mistake chain in Milwaukee. Also: Joe Barry’s out, the Brewers got Rhys Hopkins, another NDSU move, and the Houston Cougars keep winning ugly.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, January 24th
Tonight’s college basketball picks, across the Southeast.
Stu’s Notes: What the NBA Just Took From Us
The NBA got exciting these last 24 hours. Too exciting. Also: Will Wade is free, Tom Rinaldi’s a weasel, Shane Waldron is doomed, and The Henry Ford is not what you might think.
Joe’s Notes: Calling Jim Harbaugh a Liar
Jim Harbaugh might imminently be the coach of the Chargers. Also: The transfer cycle, the Iowa gambling twist, and putting numbers on an NFL ref conspiracy.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, January 23rd
More of what’s been working.
Stu’s Notes: DePaul Is a Waste
We deserve more out of Chicago’s college basketball team. Also: What fans should do about Blake Hinson, what Caitlin Clark should do about fans, and Joe Kelly made a Hall of Fame.
Joe’s Notes: Brady/Mahomes, Manning/Allen, and…Belichick/Reid?
We’re doing all the comparisons. Also: The Ravens might be it, Josh Hader’s contract is risky but it had to be, and Novak Djokovic has some funky odds.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, January 22nd
Two Monday night moneylines, plus some heavy NFL futures hedging.
