TSHQ’s SSR Poll After Week 13: The Top 15 Teams in America

One more week before we find out what we’ve all been waiting the whole year for: who plays for the national title. Only problem is K.M and I really aren’t waiting on much. We told you on November 5th at about 11:30 PM that if Oklahoma State lost a game it was Alabama-LSU again and [...]

BCS Implications: Week 13

It looks right now as if LSU has pretty much locked up a spot in the National Championship Game. It also looks like Alabama has locked up a spot. It will take a decent amount of manipulation by the voters to move Oklahoma State (or any other team, we’ll give details later) up to a [...]

Random Thoughts On CFB, BCS, Heisman, USC, etc.

Random thoughts. They may be right, they may be wrong, but at least they are mine. BCS National Championship: I was 100% against an LSU/Alabama re-match in the BCS National Championship. However, after watching LSU dismantle #3 Arkansas and seeing Alabama crush Auburn in the Iron Bowl, I have changed my mind. Even if Oklahoma State [...]

Handicapping the NFL: Week 12

Season ATS: 25-21-1 Season Over/Unders: 1-3 Season Parlays: 1-3 Season Teasers: 2-9 Season Units: -20.5 units Thanksgiving Recap: Just like football is a game of inches, line betting is a game of points, or more specifically, fractions of points.  Thursday’s T-day slate was clear evidence of the former, on both ends of the spectrum.  The [...]

Will a new name and new additions help the Pac 12 shed the “weak conference” label the Pac-10 had garnered in recent years?

Pac -12 Conference Preview by Gus Elvin The Pac-10 is no more as with the additions of Colorado and Utah the conference has been renamed the Pac-12(Big 10 and Big 12 take note). The new name change may be a good thing for a conference that over the last few seasons had earned a reputation [...]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  I know our Canadian friends have already celebrated their Thanksgiving, but here in the good ole US of A, we’re okay if you guys from up north double dip.  So let’s go around the league and see what each team should be thankful for today: Anaheim Ducks: Teemu Selanne decided to play [...]

NFL Week 11 Recap & Week 12 Picks

Posted in NFL No Comments »

How many quarterbacks are injured at the moment? It seems like in the last month half the league has lost their starting quarterbacks and or a backup. Looking at the number it paints a pretty poor picture for the overall health of the signal callers around the league. There was a strange connection in the [...]

TSHQ’s Gamblers CFB Sexy Six Week 13

Two weeks remain in the regular season as we trot towards the finish line before the end of the season bowl special. Right now a 55% season looks like a pipe dream but crazier things have happened and you can never discount one hot run to end the year. Only the most loyal of followers [...]

Really?

Listen, I have felt bitter in previous years after an undeserving Alex Rodriguez has walked away with the MVP, or when Pedro Martinez inexplicably was left off of voters’ ballots in 1999 after perhaps the single most dominant season by a starting pitcher in the history of baseball, but those years had a lot to do [...]
