Last night’s gambit to catch a falling knife with Coastal Carolina resulted in bloody palms. I tried to grab them in a spot where they could cover the +7 easily if they snapped out of their shooting funk. Well, they didn't. Despite the loss, watching the teams commit a combined…
Wednesday's handicap of the Cal Baptist Lancers recognized the potential weakness against Utah Valley's 6'7" front court duo. And the Lancers came into the game after one their worst shooting performances this season. Nonetheless, I trusted the handicap and stuck with a team who has treated us very well this…
Tuesday MACtion got a little weird when coronavirus concerns on the campus of Miami of Ohio postponed last night's showdown with the Chippewas. Thankfully, I took the morning off from writing up a full handicap on that one. That break was well-deserved after a big swing-and-miss on Sacramento State Monday…
Sunday's on-court action took a back seat to reality as the news about Kobe Bryant's death shook us and sports fans everywhere. The tragedy certainly put the games and betting action in perspective. When the dust settled, my featured sides ended in a 1-1 split. Monmouth started the day with…
The NFL may have left us stranded today (unless you REALLY need to watch the Pro Bowl), but the college hoops slate has a good mix of power- and small-conference action. I'm coming with another pair of handicaps after yesterday's featured sides went 1-1. Drexel (+8.5) was too sloppy to…
BetCrushers.com is free and clear of hosting issues this morning! Good thing, because it's college hoops Saturday and the slate is huge. I won't bury the lead with a recap of Thursday's game since it is a topic of the Road Dog Report for 1/25/2020. Let's go! (683) Drexel @…
Thursday offers a healthy college hoops slate to dive into. As much as I want to crank out full breakdowns on several key matchups I'm playing, I need to stay focused. As most of you know, balance in life is essential and my love for handicapping college hoops and the…
No college hoops handicap yesterday only gave me more time to plug away at our MLB divisional previews. Another free agent found a new home, as the Braves signed Marcel Ozuna to fill Josh Donaldson's hole. Despite these previews being a work in progress, I just moved on one season…
Breaking down the matchups of Super Bowl LIV the BetCrushers are playing
College hoops on a Monday afternoon? Count us in! The NFL Conference Championship games treated us well but there's only one game left for us to handicap in that department. After Sunday's South Dakota State disappointment, I'm ready to get back on track with the Road Dog Report for 1/20/2020.…
There's certainly no shortage of sports betting action today despite the short college hoops slate. It's NFL Championship Weekend and we've got you covered with a pair of in-depth handicaps on the gridiron. After a much-needed day off from pounding away on the keyboard, I'm back with a solo shot…
Breaking down the AFC and NFC Championship matchups the BetCrushers are playing
After a couple days of taking (and hitting, fortunately) solo shots on my betting card, yesterday's feature handicap expanded to a pair of Road Dogs. I take the split as Georgia State bombed out South Alabama with 15 buckets from downtown, while Loyola Marymount missed the mark by a half-point.…
What a roller coaster last night's Bradley/Missouri State turned out to be. Bradley worked themselves into a nice 10-point halftime lead last night even without one of their best players, Elijah Childs. However, Missouri State came out hot after the break, went on a big 12-0 run to take a…
I never want to see my alma mater take the L, though there was enough solace in them covering the spread last night at least. The Ohio Bobcats lost a tight one at Buffalo Tuesday on a final-possession turnover. We've brushed it off and are back on the grind with…
Hiding in the shadows of an insane NFL Divisional Round weekend, Saturday's featured college hoops handicaps went 2-1. Seems unspectacular, right? After the previous Saturday's 0-3, I wondered if that particular day of the week was my boogeyman. Coastal Carolina made up for their meltdown in their previous game and…
The beauty - and sometimes frustration - of handicapping is that there is no universal method or "secret code" that holds the answer. Fortunately, Major League Baseball is blessed with a cult following of statistical-oriented minds that compile and make available volumes of data for us to use. You can…
Yesterday's handicap on Canisius simply did not come to fruition. However, this weekend presents a ton of opportunities including our play in the NFL Divisional Round. My college hoops card is loaded up with this big Saturday slate, but I've focused on three matchups in the Road Dog Report for…
Breaking down the NFL Divisional Round matchups the BetCrushers are playing
Conference play continues to be quality entertainment for the fans. For handicappers like myself, it adds some tricky angles that you cannot ignore. These teams know each other well, which can emphasize scheme and coaching more than in non-conference games. I'm dialed in on one such matchup in the MAAC…
Thursday presents another healthy college hoops slate, and we're ready to roll with handicaps for two early-evening matchups. Conference play has a tendency to reduce the number of large mismatches, sometimes making point spreads irrelevant. Last night was a good example of this, where both of our Road Dogs got…
We walked a tightrope last night with a Missouri State team that had been unable to seal the deal on the road this season. Coach Dana Ford had them ready to play and it showed as they knocked off a tough Illinois State team who defends their home court quite…
The Florida A&M Rattlers bit back last night, putting up a little too much of a fight. FAMU battled back and made it to overtime, where dogs go to die. We're roaring back like a bear today in the Road Dog Report for 1/7/2020. (635) Missouri State @ Illinois State…
The NFL Wild Card Weekend action was anything short of wild, including a pair of overtime games, a 1-point game that eliminated the defending champs, and a repeat of the previous matchup between Seattle and Philly. Unfortunately, we got swept on the gridiron and the court. Time to keep grinding…
We've got one hell of a sports day ahead of us! The NFL Wild Card games kick off today and the college hoops slate is massive. I have nine NCAAB tickets but I'll focus on three handicaps in the Road Dog Report for 1/4/2020. (707) Eastern Illinois @ Belmont -11.5…
Previewing Wild Card Weekend with our DraftKings Fantasy Football roster
The holidays are over and this means two things in the BetCrushers' sports betting world: the NFL Playoffs and NCAA hoops conference play are here. Our early Wild Card handicapping is done and early bets are made. Thursday's NCAAB slate is a big one and have two early wagers made…

First and foremost, Happy New Year! 2020 is here and I'd like to make my 18-24 start to the NCAAB season last year's news. Air Force sent 2019 out with a giant thud as my UC Riverside ticket was bombed out by the Falcons. It did not take long to…
