Can we lose nine college basketball picks in a row?
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: Hope for Chicago State
Chicago State has a path to relevance, and all it took was one big win. Also: The redshirt/restraining order mess, Ohtani’s opt-out, Hoskins vs. Bellinger, and some miscellany.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, December 13th
We’re trying something stupid; and we caught an FCS break.
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.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, December 12th
From Cedar Falls to Frisco.
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.
Stu’s Notes: Michigan, Michigan State, Scandal, and the NIT
“He can hit.” Also: Andy Enfield & LeBron James; Adam Silver & Lebron James; whether Zion needs Moriah Mills; Joe Kelly’s new number; and the Ottawa Senators.
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.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, December 10th
Lions and Cougars.
Montana Held On, Brevin Easton Went Long: Where the FCS Quarterfinals Left Us
North Dakota State is routing teams again, and it was a windy day in Brookings.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, December 9th
The Holy War, NDSU’s trip to Vermillion, and the Army/Navy game.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, December 8th
More free throws, and an FCS hedge.
Waiting for Joe Kelly: What if There Are Two Shohei Ohtanis?
Making it make sense.
