Michael Smith and the Hogs will run away from Tulsa on Saturday. It's hard to believe we are already in Week 10. The college football season is almost over. I guess it's time to get ready for college hoops. These leans went 3-2 again last week, including two more outright winners with Duke...

Tommy Rider believes that No. 1 Texas is going down this week. I usually do this earlier in the week but I have been slacking off lately. These are just opinions but they have done pretty well over the last three weeks, going 3-2, 3-2 and 4-1. Here are the underdogs I think pack some bite for Week...

Lou Holtz compares Michigan's Rich Rodriguez to Adolf Hitler. For the second time in less than a week, ESPN analyst Lou Holtz has apologized for comments he made on the air. This time, the comments were more egregious and the fallout will be more severe. During halftime of yesterday's Georgia...

Todd Reesing and Kansas could be a tough out for the reeling Sooners on Saturday. It's hard to believe that we are already in Week 8 but as the season keeps moving forward, the more underdogs seem to be cashing. Last week I gave out five dogs that could bite and they went 3-2, with Oklahoma State...

Sam Bradford and the Sooners better not overlook an improved Baylor team this Saturday. Last week the wacky world of college football was in full effect, as three top five teams bit the dust. As we listen to the talking heads constantly refer to how shocked they are when this happens, it's becoming...

The Gators better be ready for Jevan Snead and Ole Miss Saturday. As we found out on Thursday night when Oregon State upset a seemingly invincible USC squad, we are into the part of the college football season where playing underdogs can really pay off. Looking over the card this week, I see quite...

Tommy Rider is flying high with the New Mexico Lobos as his Big ML Underdog Play of the Day. Now that I live in Las Vegas, every week I head down to the casino and place $100 on one big ML underdog that I think has at least a shot to pull off an upset. These are usually dogs of 10 points or more....

Best Headline Ever. Ever.

I came across this story and it just blew my mind. The University of Idaho changed the uniforms worn by its cheerleaders because too many people were complaining they were "too revealing." This is not a joke. I'm sorry but shouldn't those fans be complaining that their football team...

Not surprisingly, Dave Wannstedt makes Tommy Rider's list of the 10 worst CFB coaches. One of my main handicapping tools is looking at coaches, particularly bad ones. My guess is the average bettor on the street doesn't put a lot of stock in coaches. However, fading bad coaches in the right...

Jevan Snead and Ole Miss beat Memphis by 17 but they could be in for a long day this week against Wake Forest. When Matty and I went to the handicapping seminar a couple of weeks ago, one thing I found interesting is LVSC President Ken White said that a line isn't based solely on the final score...

Cullen Harper and the Clemson Tigers are in for a long season. It certainly was an interesting week in college football. The books took a bit of a beating as a lot of the "popular" plays won. Still, there were some upsets as well in what was the start of another crazy college football season...

Tommy Rider is donning his Eric Dickerson jersey in honor of tonight's "big" match-up with Rice As I sit here today wearing my Eric Dickerson SMU jersey for tonight's big Mustangs route over Rice, I got to thinking: I wonder which player jerseys the members of Pregame have? First...

Steve Spurrier and South Carolina kick off the CFB season tonight on ESPN. It's here. The wait is finally over. Get ready boys because tonight we play for keeps. College football is by far and away my favorite sport. I love it. And while I usually start getting goosebumps on Saturday when ESPN's...

Shawne Merriman has more guts than brains if he takes the field this season. Sometimes I have things that just get under my skin and I have to vent about them. For instance, how can they let 75-year old people behind the wheel of a car? If I were the President of the United States, I would make it...

The Michigan Wolverines are only a 3-point favorite at home in Week 1 over Utah . There are many different ways to break down games. But one thing I think we all look for in our college football picks is line value. For instance, I visited a couple of books today and saw that Florida is up to 38....

Even without record-setting QB Paul Smith, the total in the Tulsa/UAB game is close to 70 this week. When it comes to college football, I'm an OVER better. I mean, it's not rocket science. In college football, most of the best athletes play on the offensive side of the ball, so there a lot...

Cool as a cucumber Pete Carroll is the top-rated head coach in CFB, according to Rivals.com. Rivals.com has come out with their Top 25 college football coaches. Below I have listed the Top 10: 1. Pete Carroll , USC The buzz : Carroll has made USC arguably the premier program in the nation...
