The only word to describe two weeks ago is disappointment. NIU was able to come through the +3.5 spread after suffering a 20-17 loss to Boston College. Things started off good, but the mighty SEC East Missouri Tigers blew a winnable game at Kentucky and not only lost the game but didn’t cover. *Reminder to […]
Well what another perfect week of picking by yours truly. Another 3-0 week against the spread. NIU traveled to the horseshoe and gave Buckeye Nation a scare. The Huskies defense had five takeaways and nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football history. The Huskies lost the game 20-13, but easily covered […]
Another week another cash cow, 2-1 last week with a dramatic Oklahoma Sooners come back to cover a -1 point spread against Tennessee and a scary pick taking USC who was favored by a giant 43.5 points made me look good. Sadly Missouri couldn’t cover an -11 spread as they won 27-20 against Arkansas State. […]
Well how about that week. A perfect THREE AND ZERO against the spread! The first game on the slate I chose was Jim Harbaugh’s coaching debut with Michigan against the Utes of Utah. Utah was a -5.5 point favorite in the game and won 24-17, thanks in large part to Michigan’s horrendous offensive play. Game […]

By Sean McDermott As Dr. Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park “life finds a way,” and after two failed sequels (based off of critic and audience scores on rotten tomatoes) in The Lost World – Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) has brought life back to […]
It is the opening week of the 2014 college football season and you all know what that means… It’s time to dust off that old ball cap, listen to the fight songs, cook that sweet bbq, tailgate and watch the timeless school traditions that make college football a sport like non other. It is also […]
By Sean McDermott LeBron James is coming home to Cleveland and everything is right with the world. Yeah okay. Once again James proves that he is a man who does not stand by his word and can’t win a ring with his “own” team. Two days and four years ago, James stood upon a stage […]
By Sean McDermott I’ll be the first to admit it… I don’t watch soccer. I’d rather skip stones across a pond then watch Major League Soccer (MLS). But if you’re a true sports fan the World Cup is a spectacle that can’t be missed. Think of it like the Olympics, every four years the […]
The term “March Madness” has really stayed true to it’s form, as there have been many upsets throughout the past two weeks. We’ve witnessed the upsets of Syracuse, Creighton and Kansas and the rise of Iowa State along with Providence. It will be a very difficult year to pick your bracket(s). I expect to go […]
