By the time I finish this article and publish it, there will be 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Just enough time to get your Sunday morning coffee/pastry, pretend you're paying attention to

Not our best effort last week: 2-3. It really should have been 3-2 since I would have placed New England in the Big Five Picks but they played on Thursday and I publish

First off, thank you to all of those who have been loyal readers of this blog. I started it 5 years ago with the intent of sharing my passion for sports and the

So what do you do after a big NBA DFS win?! You get right back in the saddle and keep growing your winnings! Last night was incredible. I have finished 1st in previous

Alright! We are getting to the fun part of the NFL season! Thanksgiving is upon us (look for a special DFS article by Wednesday afternoon for the 3 game slate on Turkey Day)

The hot streak continues! 4-1 last week! Overall the Big Five Picks are 32-17-1. That would rank 27th out of 1950 entries in the SuperContest hosted by Westgate Casino, arguably the most well-known

My apologies for not giving the best NFL DFS advice lately for the main slate. The single game lineups continue to do well and I will keep sharing those lineups but we need

We are now midway through the NFL with 9 weeks down and 9 weeks to go. Prior to this season, it was hard to tell when the midpoint of the season occurred when

Happy daylights savings everyone! I must say that it will be nice to finally see some sunlight around 6 AM instead of 7 AM. It's also nice that I can share some of

When you're hot, you're hot! I am not sure who came up with that phrase but it pretty much sums up how the Big Five Picks have gone for us lately. 4-0-1 for

First off, Happy Halloween! If you are 15 - 20 years younger than me and don't have kids, I am sure you are sleeping off your hangover right now or dealing with it!

Overall last week was not a great one (6-7) but the Big Five Picks performed well again (3-2). For the season the Big Five Picks are 21-14 or 60% while the overall record

Here we are near the midpoint of the NFL season. The fall weather is taking hold and injuries are piling up. We also know which teams are contenders and pretenders. Now is the

The hot streak continues! Another 4-1 week! The third time we have done that in the last 5 weeks! The record for the Big Five Picks for the 2021 season is 18-12. 60%

Sorry for the late publication of this article. I am guessing if you are reading this with about 1 hour before kickoff of the early games, you already have your mind made up.

Well, Week 5 went well! 11-5 overall and 4-1 for the Big Five Picks! For the season, I am 43-37 against the spread and the Big Five Picks are 14-11. That is considered

With 4 weeks into the new season, it's time to run the QB and DST regression models I developed a few years ago. The DST model is quite simple. I compare the DVOA

For the record, I am 10-10 with the Big Five Picks for the 2021 season and overall 32-32 against the spread. Week 1 was awful given that I went 4-12 so overall we

In this article, I will approach the main slate a bit differently than I have in the past 3 weeks. I will provide more structure by going through each position and discussing which

Week 3 was not our best week. 2-3 with the Big Five Picks and 7-9 overall. Not a train wreck but we never want to lose money. Week 2 was great so we

It's almost midnight here on the West Coast and it has been a busy day with the kids so this article is coming out late. But better late than never! Let's keep this

What great success we had with Week 2! 4-1 for the Big Five Picks! 11-5 overall against the spread! I am glad I finally decided to dust off the old linear regression model

Like we had during Week 1, the main slate for Week 2 features 13 games so there are several directions we can take. One such direction that can be very profitable is to

Now we have Week 1 of the NFL season under our belt, what did we learn? We learned that the NFL is an awfully hard sport to predict so early in the season

Just like last year, I plan on sharing my top daily fantasy sports (DFS) lineups before each NFL main slate and do so freely. Much of my analysis uses the tools found on
