Wild Card NFL Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser and Prop Bets
The playoffs are upon us, including the first-ever Monday Night Football postseason affair.

Daniel Jones is done for the season and now he’s the next GM’s problem
In a do-or-die season for many in the New York Giants organization, the condemned are trying to delay the guillotine. Quarterback Daniel Jones, by no fault of his own, seems to be the barometer by which General Manager Dave Gettleman will be evaluated. He knows this as much as anyone, and spent heav...
Soda giveaway is a Giant slap in the face to fans
The Giants have clinched their fifth straight losing season, are going to miss the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years, and the most intriguing thing about them right now is how long they’ll start Mike Glennon at quarterback over Jake Fromm. That’s because Daniel Jones, a bust from the moment he...

Just like that, Bellinger earns redemption for his .165 average
During the recent Major League Baseball regular season, many fans praised the Dodgers for putting together a lineup with zero holes. In reality, 2019's National League MVP Cody Bellinger was a giant, dinosaur-killing crater in the middle of the Dodgers’ lineup....
This doesn’t feel like the first time the Dodgers and Giants have met in the playoffs
Tonight will be the first time in MLB history we see the Dodgers and Giants compete in the postseason.

The Eli Manning takeover of all media is underway and I’m here for it
In case you hadn’t heard the news, Eli Manning has a new show. Yes, the future Hall of Famer (?) and former New York Giants quarterback is hosting his own show. No, not the one with older brother Peyton on Monday nights. I’m talking about a brand new show on the Giants YouTube channel. The Eli Manni...
