I’m not stopping—are you? After an afternoon and evening slate that includes heaters like Missouri vs. Kentucky, Auburn vs. Alabama, and Ole Miss vs. Florida, we’re heading west once more for some late-night hoops action in the Big 12. The red-hot BYU Cougars host the Utah Utes in Provo for the Cougars’ Senior Night celebration, […]

It’s Senior Night in The Swamp! After a thorough walloping of SEC rival Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday night, the Gators head back home to host Ole Miss and celebrate all the to-be graduates in the orange-and-blue. Ole Miss, however, is fresh off a rather expensive—if totally thrilling—celebration on their own home court against the […]

The Maine Event had himself a night in Cameron for its Senior celebration, no? And, if you followed my previous (which, to be fair, is my first-and-only) Flagg prop column, you’d have cashed in droves. We went three-for-three on his props—both points and assists. The lights don’t get any dimmer headed into the weekend—arguably, from […]

Saturday’s regular-season-ending slate for some college basketball teams starts off with a bang, as the No. 19 Kentucky Wildcats, under their new Mark Pope regime, head to Columbia to face off against the No. 15 Missouri Tigers at 12:00pm ET. As college basketball’s Conference Championship Week looms—the SEC gauntlet awaiting both these two juggernauts—a game […]

My action binoculars are beaming westward for tonight’s college basketball slate, and I’ve got a few player prop bets I think might be best for your collection of slips on Friday. I already wrote up how I’m playing the UNLV vs. New Mexico and Colorado State vs. Boise State games in the Mountain West tonight, […]

I’ve got my eye on two fun-but-unranked Mountain West matchups that might have serious conference championship ripples under Friday Night Lights. Let’s jump a couple time-zones to get to some 10:00pm tip-off games that might give us some serious late-night action from four extremely spirited teams playing great basketball out west right now: UNLV, New […]

It’s time to get some answers—maybe? After last week’s near-masterpiece of an episode (“Chikai Bardo,” directed by the visionary-force-in-the-making Jessica Lee Gagné), we’re back in that dangerous Severance cycle of answers only fueling more questions. There’s no question that “Chikai Bardo” will go down as one of the finest episodes of television this awards season, […]

I’ve already written up my take on the game itself here, so if you’re looking for a pick, prediction, or best bet on the spread, pop over to that piece. This one, however, will be for my favorite prop bets in the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Florida Gators college basketball clash tonight. It’s the biggest […]

On Wednesday morning, right around the same time the team released veteran figurehead wide receiver Tyler Lockett, the murky situation between the Seattle Seahawks and their homegrown superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf came to a crystal-clear fulcrum: Metcalf has officially requested a trade from the team. Rumors are already swirling. Two-time Pro Bowl WR DK […]

Let’s start by acknowledging it: we’re staring down the barrel of just about potentially the best Wednesday college hoops slate of games all season. Two SEC titans, the Florida Gators and the Alabama Crimson Tide, and two Big 10 stalwarts, the Maryland Terrapins and the Michigan Wolverines, are set to clash before the clock strikes […]

It was ten years ago this season when the Cubs headed into Spring Training with every intention of calling up their superstar rookie third-baseman, Kris Bryant, to join the ranks of a scrappy and ascending lineup that Theo Epstein, Joe Maddon, & co. had thrown together for their 2015 roster. The hype was so real […]
