Lafayette's performance on Sunday was the definition of "survive and advance", except the Leopards simply advanced to Patriot League play with a 8-3 record. That's something, considering that Lafayette hasn't won more than 10 games in an entire season in five years. Another solid card is here, and that means…
Today's college basketball card is lengthy as compared to the average Sunday slate, and I have one early ticket to show for it. It's Week 17 in the NFL and we've cooked up a couple plays as the pros' emotions range from apathy to desperation. Let's get today's express version…
The BetCrushers week 17 NFL Prop Bet Selections
We haven't quite hit the typical Saturday mega-deep college basketball slates, but today's offerings provide several betting opportunities. For many teams, this will be the last out-of-conference game as the calendar turns to 2020. After a short recap of Friday's Coppin State play, we'll dive right into the Road Dog…
Fresh off of a fantastic Christmas holiday break, I'm ready to get back to the college hoops handicapping grind after an annoyingly-slow start to the season. Our Week 17 NFL plays are nailed down and we are anxiously looking forward to a strong postseason. Today's NCAAB card is short with…
BetCrushers.com's 2019 Week 17 NFL Picks against the spread
Yesterday's Florida Atlantic at Mercer matchup was anything but a clash of titans. Regardless, we relied on our ratings to shake off the notion that FAU had yet to cover a spread on the road and took the +3 on the Owls. After a great day in NFL and on…
Saturday was simply disappointing as three Road Dogs won outright, five were thumped, and one lost by a deuce in OT. It's almost time for me to hit the road for the holidays, so we'll break down a game and let the college hoops and NFL action get rolling. Here's…

BetCrushers.com's 2019 Week 16 NFL Picks against the spread
After Thursday's 3-0 rebound, I was initially disappointed to come away without a ticket on yesterday's short NCAAB slate. Carrying some "momentum" into the weekend never hurts, but if the handicapping doesn't give me a viable place to put my money, then the bankroll sits on the sidelines. It was…
Our Road Dogs chopped on Wednesday with an early letdown and a late night comeback. Generally speaking, my leans have looked good and delivering some confidence as D1 hoops inches towards conference play. I have a rare three plays with a short Thursday card in the Road Dog Report for…
Wednesday's college basketball card offers a solid menu of opportunities that is even bigger if you have access to the extra games. To my relief, there was no buzzer beater last night in Malibu to crush the Portland State ticket. With the positive vibes rolling this morning, it's time for…
We appreciate our loyal readers sticking around despite middling NFL results and the serious hole I've dug in the young college basketball season. The dogs that I've backed in the first couple weeks have been more apt to lie down for a nap in the second half than keep fighting.…
I'm taking my lumps in the first couple weeks betting this NCAA hoops season, but still grinding after 15 lackluster handicaps. Sunday's 1-2 outcome was a mixed bag of a solid win, bad loss, and near miss on the swing game. Monday's slate isn't the biggest but the Road Dog…
The Road Dogs record holds at a "modest" 4-8 record after Saturday's pair of plays split. The season is young and there's plenty of opportunities to surpass last year's 55.8% mark. With that in mind, I sharpened the pencils late last night and found a trio of games to fill…
The BetCrushers week 15 NFL Prop Bet Selections
BetCrushers.com's 2019 Week 1 NFL Picks against the spread
After two days with just a handful of college basketball games, we finally get a solid menu to handicap. On the bright side, those short slates gave us more time to put together a focused NFL Week 15 card going into the playoffs. We left off Wednesday evening with a…
Needless to say, the effort put forth by Tennessee State at Arkansas-Little Rock last night was disappointing. This loss sets the Road Dogs back to 2-7 early in the season, but I am the least bit deterred. Old non-conference rivals are clashing before teams are sealed off to conference play.…
The BetCrushers NCAAB Road Dog Report for 12/10/2019 returns after a Monday off from the college hardwood. We were glued to the NFL action as our consensus plays delivered a much-needed 4-0 sweep. Although today's is a short betting card, we found a couple matchups worth diving deep into and…
Everyone needs a good ol' fashioned gut punch to keep them humble, right? Yesterday's 1-4 is a perfect example, although it's all about maintaining progress to reach your goal. We didn't achieve a solid 56% ATS on the court last season without some days like this. That said, let's get…

BetCrushers.com's 2019 Week 14 NFL Picks against the spread
Dartmouth played exceptional defense in last night's matchup at South Florida...for the first half, anyways. Turnovers plagued the Big Green while USF Coach Brian Gregory made significant adjustments at the half, yielding a huge second half for the Bulls. That notches a loss for us but we've got a solid…
Northern Illinois did not out-rebound St. Mary's last night. Trendon Hankerson was 0-2 from beyond the arc and the Gaels' Malik Fitts pulled down 12 rebounds. However, the Huskies managed to cover the +15 with a 49-61 loss by holding St. Mary's to one of their worst shooting performances of…
Less than a year ago, we started BetCrushers in the thick of the college basketball season with a simple Twitter account. We posted our plays with a handful of handicapping nuggets; after all, there's only so much detail you can give in 280 characters. Months later, we rolled out BetCrushers.com…

NASCAR Playoffs mainstay Kevin Harvick earned his free pass to the Championship 4 with a dominant win at Texas last week. He joins Martinsville winner Martin Truex, Jr. with that distinction, leaving only two open slots for the finale in Miami. It's do-or-die for two-thirds of the contenders, so let's…

The NASCAR Playoffs intensity gets dialed up another notch this week at Texas Motor Speedway. Messin' with Texas is not a good idea, but it's not quite as bad as starting a slap-boxing match on pit road. The stakes are high so let's jump right into the BetCrushers.com NASCAR Texas…
Round 3 of the NASCAR Playoffs is here and the eight drivers still in the mix are staring down the O.G. short track of the Cup Series circuit: Martinsville Speedway. With rain in the forecast, Mother Nature may have the final say when the green flag will fly. Regardless, it's…
BetCrushers.com's 2019 Week 8 NFL Picks against the spread
The Yellow Flag Fiesta at the end of Sunday's race at Kansas was a nail biter. Brad Keselowski's Championship hopes were dashed at the expense of runner-up Chase Elliott. Round 3 of the NASCAR Playoffs shifts from the speedy 1.5-mile tri-oval to the half-mile short track at Martinsville Speedway. It's…
The NASCAR postseason field will be slashed by a third when checkered flag flies at the Hollywood Casino 400 this afternoon. Two drivers are locked in for the next round of playoffs and four more are effectively in, barring some sort of disaster. Who will be in next week and…

Last week's race at Talladega was expectedly unpredictable. Only a handful of the top drivers made it across the line, and most of their cars were torn up. We doubt that Kansas will be as explosive as Talladega, which makes handicapping significantly more straightforward. That said, let's jump right into…

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. said it well before Friday's final practice that he expected an 80% chance of getting caught up in a crash at Talladega when he still raced. It's inevitable. It's The Big One. And this is the BetCrushers final NASCAR handicapping at Talladega. Weekend Recap The dual practice…
The NASCAR Playoffs action is getting intense in the lead up to the Cup Series' middle race of Round 2. After six months of regular-season racing, the circuit is back at one of the United States' baddest tracks: Talladega Superspeedway. Let's roll with the BetCrushers Talladega NASCAR race preview! We…

The Monster Mile is small but mighty, and there's no doubting that the racing action will be fierce to open Round 2 of the NASCAR Playoffs. We're looking to follow up a big handicapping week at the Charlotte Roval last Sunday with another one at Dover. Our card was limited…
What a way to end Round 1 of the NASCAR Playoffs at the Charlotte Roval last weekend with a huge performance from Chase Elliott. He persevered after a major miscue mid-way through the race to get the victory. This cemented his position in Round 2 (and a profitable day of…

The NASCAR Playoffs move further south this week to one of the most unpredictable tracks on the Cup Series circuit, the Charlotte Roval. It's a road course and an oval jammed together, exactly like how a spork is both a spoon and a fork. Bottom line: the Roval debuted in…

Race #1 of the NASCAR Playoffs is in the books. Martin Truex, Jr. scored an impressive win at Las Vegas, punching his ticket to the Round of 12. The win also gained him significant ground in the playoff point standings against Kyle Busch. Our betting results were very kind to…

If there's anything far from a surprise in NASCAR these days, it is Kyle Busch having one of the fastest cars on the track. Friday's practice sessions showed that the Vegas native has the potential to make a strong statement in the opening race of the 2019 NASCAR postseason. The…
