One drought ends in Philly, could another end in February?
Is the Philadelphia Phillies triumph in the World Series an omen for the Eagles?
Tonight, the Phillies won their first World Series title since 1980, beating the upstart Tampa Bay Rays to win Game 5 and the title after a two-day rain delay. I actually put some money on the Phillies winning in six, so [...]

Playing the Odds: NFL Week 6
Guess who’s back?
The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had a decent [...]
The Good, The Bad, The Forgettable: Matt’s NFL Week 4 Awards
Week four had it all. Upsets, goal line stands, emotional moments, another direct snap for a rushing touchdown, an unsuccessful 76-yard field goal attempt, head coach firings, and a sighting of a nostalgic T.O.
Some of this week’s upsets had a common theme, exposing shaky defenses. The Washington Redskins went into Dallas and upset the undefeated, [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 4
As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and [...]
Five For Friday: Oregon State plays giant-killer, Matt Millen gets the boot, Plaxico doesn’t answer his phone, and more
It’s actually not Friday anymore (not here, at least), but I’m getting this out a little later than I’d planned to since Friday was a busy day.
Because there’s not enough time for me to always go through every headline and interesting story I come across in short order, I thought it’d be a [...]
The Good, The Bad, The Forgettable: Matt’s NFL Week 3 Awards
A proper title for week 3 is “Rise and Fall.” Besides the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL’s unbeaten teams are a list of unusual suspects. The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, and Denver Broncos stand at 3-0, and the Baltimore Ravens stay unbeaten as well at 2-0. Some of the other teams on the [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 3
Week 3 of the NFL season offers up a lot of potentially entertaining matchups, from Green Bay and Dallas meeting in a matchup of two of the NFL’s best, to Brett Favre making his first Monday night appearance as a Jet in San Diego, and many, many more.
Here’s my take on who I [...]
The Good, The Bad, The Forgettable: Matt’s NFL Week 2 Awards
Even though week 1 was hard to top, week 2 in the NFL did not disappoint. Well, maybe it did disappoint if you were a Chargers fan. In the fourth quarter of an “AFL-style” shootout, the Chargers were leading the Broncos 38-31. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler was leading a potential scoring drive in the red [...]
Curtis injury means Eagles better call Anquan Boldin’s agent and Cards pronto
What is it with the Philadelphia Eagles and receivers? Other than Terrell Owens for a brief stretch, it seems the Eagles are always looking for a legitimate No. 1 receiver. Kevin Curtis stepped up last year for the team and appeared to be able to man that spot this season, but now he will be [...]
