Wake Forest vs Boston College Betting Matchup
Though not the highest profile ACC game this week I think this is a very interesting game with significant implications for the Atlantic Dvision. Both teams are 2-1 but have yet to grab a conference win. Wake Forest and Boston College are two of the steadiest teams in the ACC, occasionally exceeding expectations but never sinking to Duke status. However, heading into this year the expectations … [Read more...]
Thursday Night Preview: Ole Miss vs South Carolina
It is still early in the season so the first game of the week is not Kent State at Toledo, Buffalo at Temple or the highly anticipated battle for state supremacy, Central Michigan vs. Western Michigan.

5 Things to Watch at the NBA Draft
In no other league do players get overhyped and over-analyzed like the NBA Draft, and this year’s class is hard pan proof. It’s always easy to get excited about an influx of fresh faces and fresh talent in the NBA, but it’s no secret that the 2009 draft is a class that nobody is excited about. The reason is two-fold. First, nobody cares about any player not named “Blake Griffin”, who has already … [Read more...]
