Sixth Year Seniors

Texas A&M needs a miracle comeback to beat another bad team. Oklahoma may have punched its playoff ticket. Haynes King keeps Georgia Tech alive. Big 12 chaos could be just one game away. The Group of 5 may now go through Navy...or James Madison. And we pay tribute to Laney College football coach John Beam.

A Mortgage Play on one of the big SEC games, and a trio of parlays. But first, how not to set your career on freefall with gambling.

Fernando Mendoza may have had the Heisman Moment in Happy Valley, keeping Indiana unbeaten. Texas Tech dominates BYU in Lubbock. Can we take a playoff bid away from the ACC? Diego Pavia and Vandy still looking for recognition, while Texas A&M doesn't deserve what they have.

A day late, but dollars falling out everywhere. One Mortgage Play on the Big 12 Game of the Week, and banging big favorites trying to impress the playoff committee. Plus, the first week of hoops.

Tiebreaker scenarios unfold in the ACC, Big 12, American and Mountain West. Will Virginia's "non-conference" loss to NC State come back to haunt them? BYU will have many Big 12 fans when it meets Texas Tech this week. And we discuss the Disney/You Tube battle, and how it's not your typical rights fee negotiation.

Support your Shady Local Man by betting our guaranteed winners. Plus, we're talking the epic World Series Game 3 and ESPN's lack of real news coverage of the gambling scandal.

Lane Kiffin has more than just Florida looking to be his new home. Vandy keeps winning, yet still not respected. The American Conference begins its final playoff fight. Houston might be real in the Big 12, but needs help. And of course we talk poker, player props and the "stupid problem."

A little NBA, a little MLB, and props to NBC for making televised sports look beautiful. Then a pair of Mortgage Plays to make this weekend's games interesting.

Five teams suffer first losses. Two more coaches fired. If you want someone to blame for the massive payouts, start with agent Jimmy Sexton. Haynes King and GaTech still unbeaten, but Fernando Mendoza and newly minted Indiana coach Curt Cignetti stand in the way of the Heisman. UMass suffers a tragic loss. And CW knows how to treat Kings.

Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson (and the North Carolina football team) are headed to Berkeley Friday and the Bay Area and wine country over the weekend. Will Belichick return with a job? Or a girlfriend? Plus, a pair of Mortgage Plays to expand on a 8-3 season. And we look back on Sister Jean and the 2018 Loyola CH basketball team.

James Franklin fired at Penn State two weeks after holding #3 in the AP Poll. Good thing Penn State and the Big 10 have private equity money to pay the bill. Is Bill Belichick next, and will it be before or after he and the girlfriend return from a Bay Area shopping spree? Meanwhile, Indiana is legit after surviving the Body Clock in Eugene.

We return with a pair of Mortgage Plays on opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum. One is a body clocker. The other is just plain bad. But winners cash all the same.

We continue to make money on college football, but first we spend a little time on the baseball playoffs. After a perfect 3-0 week, there's only one Mortgage Play, but it's on the Game of the Week in Tallahassee.

Penn State loses like it always does. Lane Kiffin, meanwhile, plays to win. Bama still has Georgia's number. That was Saturday. But if you missed Friday, you missed the best day of football so far. And the Haynes King Heisman campaign continues. Haynes King > Cam Newton?

Breaking news off the field interrupts our money-making ventures. But we still have three Mortgage Plays and thoughts on all the big games.

College football offered its last calm weekend. Unless you're in the Big 12, or Dabo Swinney, or Florida fans wishing upon Lane Kiffin. 

Only one Mortgage Play, and it's on a mostly unwatchable game. But profit is profit regardless of game quality. Plenty of weekend plays, and it doesn't take us thirty-three episodes to explain it all. Make Video Horizontal!

All the big games only taught us that possibly nobody's good at the top of the college football rankings. LSU ranked third? Seriously? Give us Haynes King for the Heisman. UCLA and Va Tech already started the firing process. Reverse Body Clocks in the Late Night Get Backs, Fat Guy Touchdowns and food truck fires.

We go straight for the jugular with more winning college football plays. Mortgage Play on Wisconsin at Alabama, plus opinions on Ga Tech/Clemson, A&M/Notre Dame, Florida/LSU and the Backyard Brawl.

South Florida grabs its second upset of the year, this time at the in-state SEC Gators. Florida fans are already naming a coaching replacement. With Liberty's CUSA loss, the Group of Five playoff spot has new contenders. Plus: Blowouts move the Heisman odds and border war pettiness reaches new heights in Missouri.

Two Mortgage Plays on a huge conference tilt and a in-state battle. Shop your numbers! Plus, we find out Mikey's true feelings about the Tar Heels.

Tommy Castellanos backs up his summer smack talk vs Alabama. Boise needs a new path to the playoffs. Ohio State knocks off #1 Texas, and now its time to bet on Arch for the Heisman. Plus a bundle of top catches, trick plays and upsets as college football really begins.

Picks on big games and garbage games for Week 1. They all pay the same when they win. No Mortgage Plays, but two parlays for entertainment purposes only. 

The playoffs really come down to who the fourth (and maybe fifth) SEC team will be. The playoff committee will shaft 12-0 Notre Dame. Can an American squad upend an 11-1 Boise team? Regional Rivalries in the Sun Belt. And look what the NIL has done to the MAC. Uggg...

Week Zero starts in Ireland and ends on The Island. Previewing the Big 10, ACC (except for Some Team), the Big 12, Mountain West and Conference USA. Can Ohio State repeat? Dabo now taking transfers. Why is the wide-open Big 12 opening in Ireland? Boise has a one-game season at Notre Dame. Liberty may go unbeaten and still miss the playoffs.
