NHL Power Rankings
by T.O. Whenham - 10/15/2009
It's time for the first of many NHL Power Rankings for this season. We'll revisit these rankings every two weeks through the season, and you can be sure that there will be lots of movement each time in the fluid and fast-changing league. I especially like looking at Power Rankings early in the season because they bear so little similarity to what was expected coming into the season, and to how things are likely to look by April.
College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 10/14/2009
Now, that's more like it. After three straight down weeks the Ferringo 15 finally came back strong and produced a profitable week, going a modest 7-5 against the spread. For the season that is now just a 35-36-1 mark though so there is still work to do. However, I still feel like it's a long season and that the value will increase as the season tracks on.
NASCAR: 2009 Banking 500 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 10/14/2009
Three-time Sprint Cup winner Jimmie Johnson, who is now 12 points ahead of teammate Mark Martin for the NSCS points lead with six races left in the Chase by virtue of his dominating win at Fontana last week, is set as the 3/1 favorite to wave win this Saturday night at 7:30 for the NASCAR Banking 500 at Lowes Motor Speedway.
NASCAR: 2009 Pepsi 500 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 10/9/2009
Mark Martin extended his lead by eight points over Jimmie Johnson despite finishing seventh at Kansas last week and this week Martin and Johnson are favorites, but not the most desperate, to win as NASCAR travels to the Golden State and the ill-attended California Speedway for the Pepsi 500, the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
College Football Weekly Predictions: Week 6
by Alan Matthews - 10/8/2009
After sitting at 6-6 through five weeks, I took a different tack last weekend and went with three favorites. And it worked pretty well, as I had a 2-1 week, making it 8-7 on the year and up $100 again. We whiffed badly on Florida State -3.5 at Boston College. I honestly can’t figure out the Seminoles, who have a ton of talent but obviously aren’t being coached very well. We hit on Michigan State giving three points at home to Michigan – that game wasn’t close until the final minutes, with Tate Forcier rallying the Wolverines and sending the game in OT.
NFL Sunday Predictions – Week 5
by Josh Nagel - 10/8/2009
According to oddsmakers, the Raiders are the most popular “bet-against” team in the NFL. In other words, no matter the opponent or the point spread, gamblers are lining up to bet their money against the Raiders.

Last weekend was another rare, rare down week for the F-15. It’s been pretty stunning actually; as for the first time in Ferringo 15 history the teams in this space have failed to produce for three straight weeks! For the season that is now just a 28-31-1 mark. However, I still feel like it’s a long season and that the value will increase as the season tracks on.
College Football Weekly Predictions - Week 5
by Alan Matthews - 10/2/2009
I liked three road dogs last week for our best of the best, and two of them came back to bite me to even our record this season at 6-6. We nailed TCU somehow getting points at Clemson, and the Horned Frogs won straight up, as I expected they would. But both Arkansas (at Alabama) and Illinois (at Ohio State) put up lousy offensive efforts, and neither came close to covering. Maybe it’s time to look at some favorites.
NASCAR: 2009 Price Chopper 400 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 10/2/2009
Jimmie Johnson cut Mark Martin’s lead to ten points in the Chase for the Sprint Cup last week at Dover, but Martin finished second giving Hendrick Motorsports a one-two finish and increased the lead between second and Juan Pablo Montoya to -55 points as NASCAR heads to Kansas Speedway for the Price Chopper 400 on Sunday at 1 p.m.
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 4
by Josh Nagel - 10/2/2009
The Cowboys rank third in total yards (429 per game) and are fifth in scoring at 28.7. Denver will have to make its share of plays to keep pace, and it says here the Broncos will struggle to do so. This is a big matchup for both teams and my free pick on this game is a solid one.

by Robert Ferringo - 9/30/2009
Last weekend was another rare, rare down week for the F-15. It’s been pretty stunning actually; as for the first time in Ferringo 15 history the teams in this space had back-to-back collective losing weekends. For the season that is now just a 22-25-1 mark. However, I still feel like it’s a long season and that the value will increase as the season tracks on.
This Week in Betting, A-Z
by T.O. Whenham - 9/28/2009
. The Texans can look brilliant - as they did in Week 2. They can look terrible - like they did in week one. Or they can look like a perfectly bland, underwhelming team like they did in this loss. Matt Schaub was solid, but he floundered down the stretch when it mattered most. The biggest concern for Houston, though, has to be the run defense - it is the wost in the league, and it was torched for the third straight week.
NFL Sunday Predictions - Week 3
by Josh Nagel - 9/25/2009
Two big games on the NFL schedule this weekend and I think we’ve found two strong situations to cash in on. One of them is a “hot” team coming off a big upset against a surprising 0-2 disappointment. The other is a divisional rivalry game that involves revenge and the world champions. Should be a big weekend and here are two game previews and predictions:
NASCAR: 2009 AAA 400 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 9/25/2009
This will be the second of NASCAR’s ten-race playoff format known as the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Gamblers should keep in mind that seven different drivers have won at Dover in the last seven races so the trend has leaned toward prior performance has little influence over repeat results.
College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 9/23/2009
Although Washington pulled one of the biggest upsets we’re likely to see this year and Clemson came through with a Game of the Year winner for us, overall it was a terrible weekend for the F-15. Our clubs went just 4-9-1 last weekend and in most cases were rocked by their opponents. After two straight winning weeks for the F-15 that is a rare loser. On the season our squads are just 17-17-1 heading into Week 4 so it’s time to shake some things up and make some drastic changes. With that in mind, here is this week’s Ferringo 15:
College Football Handicapping: Ole Miss Opens SEC At USC
by Matt Severance - 9/22/2009
Ole Miss is shining on defense despite not getting much from star defensive end Greg Hardy, who sprained his ankle in the opener and sat out last week. But Hardy, a potential first-round NFL pick and one of the best pass-rushers in the country, is being called probable to play Thursday night against South Carolina. The host Gamecocks are 3-point dogs on BetUS.
NASCAR: 2009 Sylvania 300 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher G. Shepard - 9/18/2009
Despite not leading the NASCAR standings during the regular season Mark Martin, thanks to four regular season wins, moved up 10 spots to first place with 5,040 points as the 10-race playoff known as the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins this Sunday at 1 p.m. at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Sylvania 300.
NFL Sunday Predictions – Week 2
by Josh Nagel - 9/17/2009
Delhomme’s days as the starting signal-caller in Carolina might be numbered as well. While it’s rarely appropriate to point the blame on one player for a loss, it’s fair to say Delhomme single-handedly took Carolina out of the game against the Eagles. He had a fumble returned for a touchdown and gave the Eagles a short field on many other occasions.
College Football Weekly Predictions - Week 3
by Alan Matthews - 9/17/2009
That’s more like it! We evened our season record at 3-3 on the sides last week thanks to Kansas covering the -12.5 against UTEP and West Virginia covering the 6.5 it was giving East Carolina in a 35-20 win. The loss was North Carolina, which beat Connecticut but fell a few points off a cover.
College Football Power Rankings - The Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 9/16/2009
The Ferringo 15 is my Profit-Power Rankings, a ladder or hierarchy based on which teams are the most profitable on the field. I’m not trying to give you some other nonsensical, random, speculative power rankings based on my own biases and conjecture. So instead of Ohio State moving up or down the polls on the basis of how badly they blew out Northwestern the previous Saturday, I’m going to rank each team based on past, present, and projected future achievement against the spread.
