FTN Staff's Articles

This article is the second in our series focusing on market trends. Last week, I examined players whose ADP rose or fell materially in NFBC Draft Champions leagues. Over the past week, there has not been a lot of ADP movement, and so I am going to shift gears and examine some early market trends […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! We managed to survive a messy Monday slate and even win a little money to get us rolling into Tuesday’s TNT Tuesday action. We have five games with a few interesting matchups surrounded by a few games ripe with player availability and schedule fatigue concerns. It’s a rich tapestry of […]

The 2024 PGA Tour season has kicked off with a stunning display of four straight underdogs claiming victory. It’s crucial to appreciate the unpredictability that contrasts the favorite-heavy narrative of the previous season. As bettors, we should remember to not put any stock into “trends” that would suggest this means more longshots are going to […]

The regular season MVP award has become an effective best quarterback award, and that realization has infected the public attitude toward the Super Bowl MVP award, as well. For many, it is inconceivable that the Chiefs would win and Patrick Mahomes would fail to secure his third Super Bowl MVP trophy. So why bet an […]

Strikeout props are a lot of fun to wager on, but you have to do the work to conquer the market. A few years ago, I created a spreadsheet where I listed all of the results and took a look at trends. One of the first things I noticed is that it’s very contagious and […]

Strikeout props are one of the fastest-rising markets in the baseball betting world, and if you put in the work, you should be able to dominate. For the past few seasons, I’ve been able to put together a spreadsheet listing all of the results from April to October. By doing this, trends come to the […]

The 2023-24 college basketball season is underway, and we are getting into the depths of conference play. We have loads of great matchups across the country — below is my favorite bet of the Tuesday slate.    Michigan State vs. Michigan (Michigan State -12, DraftKings Sportsbook) In-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State square off Tuesday […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! I get it. You’re probably still celebrating your Chiefs bet or being bummed about your Ravens/49ers parlay, but the National Basketball Association persists. It’s a long season that can be tough, but at the same time, it’s nice to know that there will always be a professional basketball game being […]

With Monday’s card lacking, it’s a fantastic time as we approach February to find some value in the Final Four market. Having a portfolio of potential teams gives you opportunities to hedge and/or root for certain squads when the bracket is released in March.    For this article, we are going to start at the […]

Every fantasy baseball season, picks are made that inevitably don’t return a profit in certain parts of the draft. Each draft spot should be looked at as an acquisition cost.    Returning a profit with your pick(s) while avoiding picks with a negative ROI is vital for contending. The players included in this article are […]

The 2023-24 college basketball season is underway, and we are getting into the depths of conference play. We have loads of great matchups across the country, and below is my favorite bet of the Saturday slate.    Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee (Vanderbilt +14, DraftKings Sportsbook) It’s been a very tough year for Jerry Stackhouse and his […]

We are set up for a fantastic NFL Conference Championship weekend, with both No. 1 seeds hosting both No. 3 seeds. I surveyed our entire FTN Bets staff and asked them for their one favorite side, total or prop bet for the Conference Championship Round. Here are our favorite FTN Staff Bets for the penultimate […]

And then there were four.  We are set for a fantastic NFL Conference Championship Sunday, with both No. 1 seeds hosting their respective No. 3 seeds. The AFC matchup features the league’s most complete team in Baltimore, but the Ravens face the tougher test against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. In the […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s a big NBA slate on this Friday night, but a very messy one. We have more interconference matchups, fatigue concerns, potential lookahead spots and questions about player availability. It’s tough, but this is life as an NBA handicapper in January before the trade deadline.   There are a lot […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s a TNT Thursday night that features two great conference matchups and a few interesting nonconference games to enjoy. The Boston Celtics play the Miami Heat, and that is appointment viewing. I should stay awake late and watch the Sacramento Kings play the Golden State Warriors, but I live in […]

I’m not going to lie — the picks in the article haven’t been the best lately. Some of it has been bad luck and one- or two-bucket losses, and some of it has been bad reads, which can happen as well. The college basketball season is a long one, so there will always be peaks […]

This article is the first in a series that will focus on prominent risers and fallers in fantasy baseball ADP based on completed drafts at the NFBC. To start, we will look at those players whose ADP rose or fell materially in Draft Champions leagues, which are 15-team, 50-round draft-and-hold contests. Later this preseason, we […]
