Thanks for nothing, Nebraska

Big Ten football is a cluster*&^).Simple as that. Ohio State was the league’s lone legitimate playoff contender. They have paused activities this week. Michigan, the team Ohio State has to have play if they want to get enough games to get in? Yeah, they paused activities too. Could Harbaugh save his job by sticking it to Ohio State and refuse to play? A lackluster stint in the Blue and Maize would become legendary for all of the wrong reasons. Minnesota has shut down after 40 positive test in 10 days. Northwestern will likely clinch a West title with the Minnesota … Continue reading Thanks for nothing, Nebraska

NFL Draftkings Week 12

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Just cash for me this week as I got a late start and won’t get a chance to look at low ownership plays.

NFL Draftkings Week 11

Apologies on not getting this up before the noon kickoffs. I got a workout in this morning and am running behind. Here is what I’m looking at this week. Just cash for me this week. I’ll go on record as saying Jameis Winston probably should have gotten the starting nod over Taysom Hill. I don’t think Hill works as a fulltime quarterback. But, if they are rolling with him, I’m gonna bank on him getting enough rushing yards to make is usable as a cheap QB. Cook will be highly owned, Gibson medium-owned in the 5-10% range. Tyler Boyd will … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 11
