The college football season is finally here. While it may be tempting to unload the bankroll on our first Saturday slate of the season, it’s important to still prioritize bankroll management. It’s the wild west of the college football season, and without any datapoints to work with we’re going to be making plenty of assumptions […]

The Buffalo Bills are the odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. If they are going to get there, they will need another very productive year out of Josh Allen and his No.1 wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. Diggs has vaulted to one of the top receivers in the NFL since coming over […]

After Ja’Marr Chase’s inability to catch a football without a white stripe was monumentally overblown last preseason, the rookie receiver proved not only that he could catch the ball, but that he is already one of the best wideouts in the NFL.    His reunion with Joe Burrow went better in year one than almost […]

After his sparkling NFL debut in his first preseason game, the buzz around the league is all about Malik Willis. He flashed his dual-threat upside and already made a few highlight-reel plays, but he did not exactly get on his coaches’ good side. Can Malik Willis win the Offensive Rookie of the Year?    Malik […]

One of the most exciting parts of every NFL offseason is when sportsbooks release their first player props. It’s sometimes a slow rollout, but as the season approaches, bettors can find passing, rushing, receiving and defensive props for almost any player.   The player prop market is one where bettors – and fantasy football players […]

We have a new tournament name, but the course has previously been used for the FedEx St. Jude Classic and then the FedEx St. Jude Invitational. The top 122 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings are in the […]

For the last four seasons, George Kittle has been one of the game’s elite tight ends in all facets. He consistently gets praise for his sheer dominance as a run blocker, and he set the record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end in 2018.  That record has since been broken by […]

Before the start of the 2019 season, the then-Oakland Raiders were featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks. Tight end Darren Waller quickly became one of the main characters as the series detailed his struggle with addiction and attempted comeback in the NFL. Throughout the show, he displayed his unique athleticism on the field and his humility off […]

No tight end has ever been the NFL receiving yards leader, but there’s enough talent at the position that history could potentially be made in the 2022 season. A handful of tight ends are given a real chance to win the prop bet for most receiving yards. Travis Kelce has +2000 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook […]

Austin Ekeler has been solid his entire NFL career, but he finally burst onto the scene in a huge way last season. Ekeler was the Chargers’ top rushing threat, and he had a fantastic season. Last year, Ekeler had 911 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.  Injuries hindered Ekeler in 2020, but he was healthy […]

Running backs drafted in the first round are always expected to be bell-cow running backs, and Najee Harris fit the bill to a tee last season. In his rookie year, after being drafted 24th overall, Harris accumulated 1,200 yards and the ground and he also had seven rushing touchdowns.  Harris was able to achieve these […]

Mark Andrews’ breakout was said to have come in 2019 when he made his first Pro Bowl. Last season, he broke out from his breakout and overtook Travis Kelce as the best receiving tight end in the NFL, at least for one season. Andrews put up a gaudy 107 receptions, 1,361 yards and 9 touchdowns […]

In 2021, Kyle Pitts became just the second rookie tight end ever to amass 1,000 receiving yards. He benefitted from having a veteran signal-caller in Matt Ryan in year one, but he’ll look to build chemistry with Marcus Mariota in year two. Pitts’ downfall as a rookie was his single receiving touchdown. Heading into 2022, […]

Travis Kelce has been the best receiving tight end in football since 2016. Even before Patrick Mahomes arrived, he made three consecutive Pro Bowls and topped 80 receptions and 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. With Mahomes, Kelce has hauled in at least 90 catches and 1,100 yards – which is where his 2022 prop totals […]

Over the past three seasons, Dalvin Cook has emerged as one of the best running backs in the game. In each of the last three seasons, Cook has amassed over 1,000 yards on the ground even with missing time due to injury.  The Vikings have a new head coach, Kevin O’Connell, and he will be […]

Kyler Murray has a lot to prove in the 2022 NFL season, following his $230.5 million contract extension and the controversial clause included in the deal that raised questions about his work ethic (which has since been removed). The Arizona Cardinals quarterback can go a long way in silencing any doubters by going over his […]

Ezekiel Elliott has been one of the best and most consistent running backs in the NFL since he was drafted in 2016. Elliott has eclipsed 1,000 yards in all but two seasons, and he missed by 21 or fewer yards in both those seasons.    The Cowboys love Zeke, owner Jerry Jones constantly praises his […]

Christian McCaffrey is no stranger to being a top running back in the NFL, but injuries have derailed him over the past couple of seasons. After playing in all 16 games in his first three NFL seasons, McCaffrey has played in just 10 games the last two seasons.    The Panthers offense needs McCaffrey, but […]
