2020 Auto Club 400 at Fontana
We move southwest from last week's high stakes action in Las Vegas to California for Sunday's Auto Club 400 at Fontana. We were treated to some spectacular racing in Vegas; three-wide, four-wide, and even five-wide action was not uncommon. There was just something about the competitiveness of last week's race…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/26/2020
We've been ugly in the Road Dog Report lately, though the results fortunately haven't. LaSalle and their 3-10 Atlantic 10 record did not keep them from getting a road win on Saturday. Then we backed a Toledo team last night who had dropped six of eight before their 93-81 win.…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/25/2020
Saturday's Road Dog Report landed on that perfect confluence of being picky and fortunate. Rhode Island needed to overtime to sneak inside the hook after two stressful out-of-bounds reviews. LaSalle choked away a 14-point halftime lead only to regain it in the waning minutes. I'll take it though, especially after…

2020 MLB Season Win Totals: NL West
In 2019, the Los Angeles Dodgers were crowned kings of the National League West for the seventh year in a row. Given this juggernaut, few people expected the division to be competitive despite San Diego making an offseason splash by signing monster free agent Manny Machado. Regardless, consensus gave Colorado…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/22/2020
A Saturday in February means one thing is for sure: a huge college basketball slate is staring us down. XFL Week 3 rolls on today as well as qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas, so our eyes will be on those events as well. We settled…

2020 Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas
Sunday's Daytona 500 was a prime example of superspeedway racing, also known as a 200-MPH crap shoot. Races at Daytona and Talladega are exciting as hell, especially in the later laps when guys are antsy and cars are nose-to-tail at extremely high speeds. The Cup Series circuit travels from the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/13/2020
Southern Illinois had two powerful things going for them: a strong defense and a seven-game winning streak. Their defense came to play last night, but the Salukis' shooting was horrendous. They relied on the perimeter shot that was not falling (5-28) and shot only 23% from the field. Despite the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/12/2020
After a few days without any college hoops action, the Road Dog Report is back! Saturday's pair of featured handicaps (Florida International and Northern Arizona) split as each squad attempted a second-half comeback. One was successful, the other was not. I was built to grind and so we push forward…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/8/2020
Losing the game via three free throws in the final seconds is not the way you want to go down. Friday's 61-60 loss to the Rider Broncs was a brutal way for Canisius to slip further down the MAAC standings. This result partially substantiated the premise of yesterday's handicap that…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/7/2020
I have not found an overwhelming number of opportunities on the college hoops slates in the smaller conferences that I follow lately. Whether it is my tendency to be more conservative during a down season or just the way the lines are shaping up, I'm not one to force the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/5/2020
If nothing is there, don't force it. It's a principle that you have to stick to as a handicapper, and that's the situation I faced last night when looking at Tuesday's college basketball slate. Monday's handicap for Lafayette/Bucknell came to fruition despite the Leopards facing a team that had beaten…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/1/2020
Friday night MACtion delivered an excellent game between Akron and Kent State last night. The 68-67 Golden Flashes victory had everything a hoops fan wants in a game: big dunks, a bunch of lead changes, and a three-point attempt to close it out. The offenses were held in check for…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/31/2020
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…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/30/2020
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…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/29/2020
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…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/27/2020
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…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/26/2020
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…

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.…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/16/2020
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…

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…

Conference play continues to be quality entertainment for the fans. For handicappers like myself, it adds some tricky angles that you cannot ignore.

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 1/9/2020
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…

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…

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…

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…
