NFL Power Rankings Week 3
by Robert Ferringo - 9/16/2025
You always hear bettors talking about “going against the public”. What they are really talking about is being wary of falling victim to groupthink or mental conformity. When Everyone thinks something about sports betting, that general consensus is usually wrong. Or at least overvalued in the betting market.
NFL Power Rankings Week 2
by Robert Ferringo - 9/9/2025
Don’t let the Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football games fool you. Points were hard to come by in Week 1 of the NFL season. The clearest defining trend through the opening week of the year was that the teams combined to go 4-12 against the total. The ‘under’ was cashing left and right and the majority of the games weren’t even close to the number.
NFL Power Rankings Week 1
by Robert Ferringo - 9/4/2025
One of the great joys of football betting is the honesty of it. Someone wins. Someone loses. Someone is right. Someone is wrong. I don’t care what people think is going to happen. All that matters is what does happen. Your arrogance and bravery for dancing to the NFL’s symphony of savagery will either rewarded with riches or replaced with regret and shame. There’s nothing in between. There’s a purity in that.
2025 SEC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2025
College football has always been messy business. And as much as we wish that it was all about what happens between the lines that has never been the whole picture. The SEC should have one of the most exciting races in the country this fall, with powerhouses Texas, Georgia and Alabama fighting for a trip to Atlanta and several second-tier spoilers nipping at their heels. But frivolous fighting over ancillary issues may once again muddle the product on the field.
2025 Big Ten Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/21/2025
I hope Big Ten fanboys have enjoyed trolling SEC supporters over the past eight months. Because the reality is the conference’s back-to-back national championships are more of a fluke than they are some statement about the league’s dominance. That’s not to say that Ohio State was a fluke last season. Or Michigan the year prior.
2025 AAC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/20/2025
With four different champions in the past four years and eight unique winners over the past decade, the American Athletic Conference is a paragon of college football parity. So it makes sense that the league enters the 2025 season without a clear and prohibitive favorite. Instead, the AAC offers the best and worst of what this sport has to offer, depending on your perspective.
2025 Big 12 Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
I can’t say that I feel any more confident about surmising how this league will play out this year. With more questions than answers, and with parity throughout the league’s rosters, this conference really is anyone’s ballgame. There are too many teams in this league that can beat any team in the country or lose to any team in the country to feel confident projecting how things will sort themselves out.
2025 MWC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
If you really love college football betting, then you have to love the Mountain West. The Smurf Turf. Midnight kickoffs in Hawaii. Handicapping home field advantages that range from snow and elevation to heat and desert. Triple option and fun-and-gun offenses. The Mountain West has been a weird and wonderful niche in the sport for nearly three decades.
2025 ACC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/18/2025
The existence of ACC football is one of the biggest reasons that SEC football and its troglodyte supporters have such inflated egos these days. Watching the ACC flop and flounder in the New Reality of College Sports has been a joy. And it has also elevated the status of their Southeastern rivals simply by comparison.
2025 Los Angeles Rams Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
The Rams are a big buzz team entering the 2025 season. They followed a surprise 10-win playoff season in 2023 with 10 more wins and a division title in 2024. Now the assumption is that the team, with one of the league’s youngest rosters, will continue to ascend and threaten a third Super Bowl trip in the McVay Era.
2025 Green Bay Packers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Green Bay, with the No. 5 total offense and No. 5 total defense, was actually the only team in the league to finish in the Top 5 on both sides of the ball. And ironically enough, the last time the Packers boasted Top 5 units on both sides of the ball was the 1998 team that also lost in the Wild Card Round.
2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Tampa, which easily beat its preseason Las Vegas win total (7.5), underachieved its Pythagorean win expectation by 1.1 games. They finished with a negative turnover differential (-5) and they were just 1-6 in games decided by five points or less or in overtime.
2025 Washington Commanders Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
In 2022, Houston won just three games and were a league pushover. They drafted a rookie quarterback No. 2 overall and that rookie took the league by storm, leading the 2023 Texans to 10 wins and a surprise playoff appearance. Then, prior to the 2024 season, Houston spent the offseason loading up on big-name veterans through trades and free agency in an attempt to build on their breakthrough season.
2025 San Francisco 49ers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Last year my 8-Unit NFL Futures Play was on San Francisco 49ers to go ‘under’ their 11.5 Las Vegas season win total. In my writeup, I observed that, “Funny thing about championship windows. They normally don't close quietly; they slam shut.” And last year San Francisco’s window to win a Super Bowl title slammed shut.
2025 Los Angeles Chargers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Jim Harbaugh is a winner. He has been at ever stop of his football career. And he proved it yet again by taking a perpetually underachieving Los Angeles Chargers franchise, stripping it down to the studs, and then using football basics to force the Chargers to 11 wins and a playoff trip in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
2025 Pittsburgh Steelers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Think what you want about the Steelers. But bet against Mike Tomlin and his boys at your own risk. Over the last 53 seasons, Pittsburgh has made the playoffs 34 times. Think about that for a second. The longest playoff drought that they have had over the last half-century was four years. And that happened back in the 1980’s.
2025 Arizona Cardinals Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Ken Whisenhunt increased Arizona’s win total each of his first three years, including a high-water mark of 10 wins in his third attempt. Bruce Arians did the same thing, increasing Arizona’s win total each of his first two years and then hitting a high of 13 wins in his third frame.
2025 Dallas Cowboys Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I hate the Cowboys just as much as you do. I loathe their obnoxious, disgusting fans in their repulsive state. I’m an annoyed by their clueless, decrepit owner. The faux feeling of entitlement from everyone and everything surrounding this franchise is gross.
2025 Seattle Seahawks Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Seattle has beaten its Las Vegas season win total three straight seasons and six of the past seven years. Since 2011, the Seahawks have gone 10-4 against their season win total and they enter the 2025 season still underrated, sporting the lowest win total in the NFC West (7.5).
2025 Chicago Bears Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
The Bears are going to be much better this season than they were last year. Undeniably better. New coach Ben Johnson can’t possibly be worse than all-time clown Matt Eberflus, whose 14-32 tenure featured one jaw-dropping decision and one mind-numbing loss after another.
