Super Bowl LVIII DVOA Preview
Well, here we are again with the question of whether we have to consider Patrick Mahomes as “playoff LeBron.” Does Mahomes specifically raise his game in the playoffs, to the point where we can’t accurately analyze the Super Bowl LVIII matchup because we can’t use past statistics to determine Kansas City’s strengths and weaknesses?

NBA Best Bets of the Day (2/8)
Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s NBA trade deadline day, and as I type this several players are being swapped around with dozens of draft picks.

Fantasy Baseball 2024: Stacking Your Way to Victory
So I had this nutty idea to examine how I could stack the best team in MLB in a hypothetical draft. I said to myself, “You should look at which team has the most high-end talent and write an article about stacking them.”    So I used my super-technical analytical skills to determine without question […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2024 WM Phoenix Open
It takes a special kind of crazy to be good at PGA DFS. It is perhaps the most volatile of all the major sports, there’s little correlation to take advantage of, and we only get six roster spots for each lineup. Consequently, to gain an edge over our competition we have to be bold – […]

NFL Same Game Parlay Picks – Super Bowl Same Game Parlay
This Super Bowl, like last year’s, is not light on the questions or storylines. For example: It’s a rematch of the 2019 Super Bowl, and if Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs can beat the 49ers Sunday, the Tom Brady comparisons will get ever louder. Can the children of the ‘90s Denver Broncos (Kyle Shanahan and […]
