Picks for NFL Week 8

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

There are a lot of big lines this week, which makes for interesting dilemmas about which heavy dogs to take. There has also been a strange trend involving teams coming off of bye weeks which is, well, they’re just not winning.  So that makes this week a little tricky to predict. [...]

Suck for Luck hits a whole new level

Is it just me, or are teams starting to take this Suck For Luck mantra to a whole new level?
This week we saw the three remaining winless teams not just lose, but flame out hard. Miami lost to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, the Rams got crushed in Dallas while the Saints [...]

NFL Week 7 picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Is it seriously Week 7 already? Wow, this season is seriously flying by. If only the NHL season would do the same. Or, if only the NBA could work out their differences and end this ridiculous lockout bickering.
The lines are from 5Dimes and the home teams are in CAPS.

NBA 2K12 may not be too realistic

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Video Games

Missing games could be good for NBA

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Ice Hockey

This really should have come as a surprise to no one. In fact, if it had gone differently, then people would have been in a state of shock. But, honestly, cancelling the first two weeks of the regular season might actually be good for the league.
There’s a reason the NBA commissioner is [...]

The ‘Dream Team’ will live on + NFL Week 5 picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Hey Michael Vick, just because you want to drop the ‘Dream Team’ moniker for this year’s Philadelphia Heat – err, Eagles – doesn’t mean it’s going to go away. Once a nickname gets started, it sticks – for better or worse. In this case, it’s for the worst.
It’s not our fault that [...]

NHL 2011-12 grand face-off spectacular

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey, Picks

It’s that time of the year again. When Canadians forget that the MLB playoffs are still going on and even let their fantasy NFL squads gather a thin layer of dust. Yes, the NHL is starting up again. Only three months after we last left off, too. So, don’t be surprised that I don’t exactly [...]

Oh, Romo. What to do, what to do?

Tony Romo, what the hell are we going to do with you? One Sunday you’re the goat, the next you’re a saviour, the next a warrior and finally back to being the goat. There’s simply just no in between with you.
It’s hero or bust and on Sunday, it was definitely bust.
Throwing two [...]
