Fargo looks past the top line scores and goes deep into the box scores to get a better picture of what really happened for all of the FBS games the past weekend. LOU 28, JMU 14 Louisville outgained the Dukes by only one yard 264-263 and the Cardinals erased a 14-6 deficit by scoring the last three touchdowns of the game and by using only six offensive plays to do so. They scored on a 64-yard touchdown pass, a fumble recovery by the defense in the endzone and on a 78-yard touchdown run. James Madison controlled the clock by over 14 more minutes but were hurt by two turnovers, the other taking place in the redzone while committing 12 penalties for 95 yards. MD 20, NIU 9 Maryland never trailed but led by just four points early in the fourth quarter before going on a 77-yard drive to score the final touchdown for the 11-point win. The Terrapins outpassed Northern Illinois 254-91 while gaining 13.4 yards per completion but they went just 4-12 on third down and were only 3-6 in the...

With his win at the U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun (125/1) had the second highest odds of any golfer to win a major over the past decade, second only to Phil Mickelson (250/1) at the 2021 PGA Championship. Spaun was the only player to finish under par as he won his first major and just his second PGA Tour victory, the first since the 2022 Valero Texas Open. It was a roller coaster of a round as Spaun bogeyed four of his first five holes but birdied four of his final seven holes that included an improbable birdie on 18 to win by two shots over Robert MacIntyre. Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler were the other players in the top ten in odds to actually finish in the top ten. The Travelers Championship marks the eighth and final signature event of the season. The Travelers has been a mainstay since 1952 and has been played at the renamed TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut since 1989 when it went through its second redesign in a decade. It is a par 70 that reaches 6,844 yards making it one...

Sepp Straka held off Shane Lowry and Justin Thomas as the latter two had late collapses allowing Straka to capture the Truist Championship, his second PGA Tour title of the season. The sixth signature event is in the books and we move on to the second major of the season with the PGA Championship coming from Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. We normally would have seen Quail Hollow last week playing host to the Truist Championship but we now get it one week later under more difficult conditions and higher stakes. It last hosted the PGA Championship in 2017 but that was when it was annually contested in August. Quail Hollow is a par 71 that is being stretched to 7,626 yards this week and will reward the long hitters with Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, and Max Homa being recent winners of the then Wells Fargo Championship. The time change is significant because of the turf as the Bermuda layout will be overseeded with Poa on the greens and Ryegrass on the fairways and rough...

A question we frequently hear is "Why should I pay for premium sports handicapping picks when I can find free ones online?" It’s a fair question. Free sports betting picks are everywhere on the internet, so why open your wallet for premium picks? The short answer: because not all picks are created equal. In the long run, paying for expert advice can be an investment in better results. Below, we break down the differences in an FAQ-style format—covering the risks of free picks, what premium experts bring to the table, why a long-term mindset matters, and how transparency on sites like ours matters. Why Can Free Sports Picks Be Risky? Free picks might sound great (who doesn’t love free stuff?), but they come with some serious risks and limitations: Lack of Accountability: Anyone can throw out a prediction online and call it a “free pick.” If it loses, there’s often no consequence or follow-up. Many free pick providers don’t publicly track their long-term...

Following taking off the two-man Zurich Classic of New Orleans and then the Scottie Scheffler against the field THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, we are back for the Truist Championship, the sixth signature event of the season. Formerly known as the Wells Fargo Championship, Truist took over sponsorship and instead of playing at Quail Hollow which is the typical venue but is hosting the PGA Championship, Philadelphia Cricket Club will take center stage. The Flourtown, Pennsylvania property is the oldest country club in the United States, consisting of three courses with the Wissahickon Course hosting. This par 70 iconic track measures 7,119 yards so while not overly long, driving distance is still very important. It is a very unique layout whereas a normal course under 7,200 yards can be considered easy, this one is penal. The 118 bunkers are what give the course its teeth as the fairway bunkers are placed in areas where accuracy comes into play to avoid finding them. Hitting greens from...

Betting on the NBA can feel overwhelming with its rapid pace and ever-changing lineups. But you don’t need a supercomputer or complex model to gain an edge. By focusing on a few smart angle-based strategies, you can start handicapping NBA games like a pro. In this article, we’ll break down advanced NBA handicapping tips – from interpreting pace and efficiency stats to spotting schedule fatigue and understanding the impact of injuries. Pace and Efficiency: Reading the Tempo of the Game Pace is all about how fast teams play. It’s usually measured by possessions per game – essentially how many times a team gets the ball in a full game. A fast-paced team will generate more possessions (and hence more scoring opportunities), while a slow-paced team will deliberately milk the clock and limit possessions. When two teams with up-tempo styles meet, you can expect a higher-scoring, run-and-gun affair. For example, high-paced teams like the Sacramento Kings (who led the league...
