Beyond the BCS: Who’s better — TCU or Boise State?

Each week Ben Burns and David Payne scour the non-BCS conferences looking for a hidden gem.

Life is tough in the MWC and WAC. Lose one game, and you go from a potential BCS bowl to the Humanitarian Bowl. That’s a mammoth pay cut, and a lot of pressure on the coaches from the non-BCS conferences.

Here we are barely midway through October, and the list of unbeaten teams in NCAAF has shrunk to 9, and with Cincinnati visiting S. Florida this week, there will be at least one more missing from the list come next week, and several teams don’t have easy games, so I will not be surprised if the list grows even shorter.

Jim Feist’s Week 6 NFL Betting Tips

Turnovers Can Turn the Tide

Jim Feist
Jim Feist

A recent Monday night football game saw Brett Favre battle his old team, Green Bay. Favre was the story, with a terrific performance, but young QB Aaron Rodgers put up some sizzling numbers, with 384 yards and 2 TDs. Impressive.

Did they win? Or cover? No, as Minnesota won 30-23.

The most obvious explanation and it’s obvious: 2 turnovers. Turnovers are one of the most basic fundamentals of winning football, both straight up and against the number when analyzing football picks.

Bad Beats: Ego check for Ray Lewis and Brandon Meriweather

Ben Burns

Maybe we were bullied too much on the playground, but puffed-up egos really piss us off here at Bad Beats Central.

Losing a bet because someone can’t keep their ego in check and feels the need taunt or excessively celebrate is infuriating.

Take Ray Lewis for instance. Does anyone in the NFL not know this guy is a hard-hitting, physical bad ass?
