2018 World Cup Group E Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/12/2018

Brazil is no longer the greatest soccer nation on the planet. After spending a half-century with that unofficial title, I think that Brazil has finally been passed by Germany. The reverberations of Germany's 7-1 annihilation of Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semifinals are still echoing through the soccer world. The Germans enter the 2018 World Cup as the favorites, the defending champions, and as the No. 1-ranked team in the world. Read More >>

2018 World Cup Group H Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/12/2018

I have already stated that I expect the $#i% to hit the fan in Group D because of the balance and depth of the four teams in that group. Right behind that group, in terms of expected insanity, would have to be Group H, where any one of the four teams has a realistic opportunity to win the group and advance. Read More >>

2018 World Cup Group G Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/12/2018

Soccer is a funny game. Perhaps more than any other sport, dominance in the game doesn't always correlate to dominance on the scoreboard. Teams can control possession, dictate pace, and monopolize scoring opportunities - and still lose. So when betting on soccer you always want to be careful about getting sucked into wagering on things that seem inevitable. Read More >>

2018 World Cup Group D Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/11/2018

Group D offers four teams that are loaded with talent, four teams that love to attack, and four teams with shaky back ends. The result could be some wild, high-scoring matches and some potentially shocking upsets. Two of the world's greatest players, Lionel Messi and Luka Modric, and one of the world's greatest stories, Iceland, have this group chock full of drama and intrigue. Read More >>

2018 World Cup Group B Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/7/2018

Despite all the attacking prowess and big names, I wouldn't expect a lot of goals from Group B. Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Iran combined to allow just four goals in 36 combined qualifying matches prior to the World Cup. Spain and Portugal each have world-class defenders manning their back line, while Morocco and Iran can be effective playing a turtle-in-its-shell style that relies on frustrating opponents and counterattacking.

Soccer's World Cup is a tournament featuring 32 teams broken into eight four-team groups.

by Robert Ferringo - 5/1/2018

If you missed Tuesday's Kentucky Derby post draw don't feel bad, so did Bob Baffert.

The 144th running of the Kentucky Derby commences at 6:24 p.m. on Saturday, May 5 at Churchill Downs. The Run For The Roses marks the open of the Triple Crown racing season and is one of the most highly anticipated sporting events of the spring. Read More >>

2018 First Round NFL Draft Grades by Team
by Robert Ferringo - 4/27/2018

You cannot deny evolution. Some creatures are just born to thrive while others are meant for elimination. And we were treated to this cold, unrelenting fact of nature again on Thursday in the first round of the NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills are three loser franchises. They are three of the most hopeless, inconsequential organizations in sports, perpetual failures that serve as minor stepping stones for the elite teams in the NFL. And they all proved why that is once again by failing to take advantage of the fantastic opportunities they were given to alter their histories. Read More >>

2018 NFL Draft: Breaking Down the Quarterback Class
by Robert Ferringo - 4/26/2018

By my count, between 1998-2014 just 17 of the 47 quarterbacks taken in the first round of the NFL Draft turned into legitimate, competent signal callers with positive careers. (It's too early to call it on anyone taken in the last three years.) And my definition of "legitimate, competent signal caller" liberally includes noted losers Carson Palmer (No. 1 overall pick with 92-88 career record and one playoff win), Jay Cutler (No. 11 overall pick with 74-79 record and one playoff win), and Daunte Culpepper (No. 11 overall pick with 41-59 career record and two playoff wins).
