Betting and hitting on a Moneyline dog is rewarding for multiple reasons. First, you get a plus-money payout, and everybody loves a bet that pays more. Second, you feel like you've outsmarted the books. Fading their pick of a favorite and taking the dog and winning, there is simply no better feeling. Looking at matchups this week, it really feels…

Perhaps it's the hectic nature of the holidays - the festivities, tending to the Christmas lists, the Egg Nog(!) - or all the emphasis on NFL playoff scenarios. But in comparison to March Madness, which draws an estimated 40 million Americans to bet upward of $9 billion, the college bowl pool gets undeservedly lost in the shuffle. It isn't right.…

Look, I'm off to a bad start. 0-1. Literally can't have a worse record after one game. I really thought Purdue was gonna pull it out at the end of the game but some poor tackling and the inexplicable decision to not run the ball put the game just out of reach. But now we move on. If you pay attention to the odds for this game, or college football…

The Oregon Ducks take on the Washington State Cougars. Check out our college football odds series for our Oregon Washington State prediction and pick.

Greyhounds action. (Pic: Ciarán Culligan) The local greyhound fraternity is good at commemorating former practitioners.

It's around 8:30 p.m. ET last Saturday night and I'm finally getting around to watching college football on television after an epic day of sports in San Diego.

You might say the Big Ten had it … ruff on Saturday.

What can you say about last Saturday that hasn't already been said about a lobotomy? It was supposed to reduce Mountaineer Nation's collective tension following a heart attack of a game against Pitt, but instead was marred by apathy, passivity, and a generally deflated emotional response. The optimist in me wonders if (hopes that?) the Kansas loss…
