Hottest Handicapper

The Coach Potato is the premier television handicapper in the world.  In 1988 after having success as a handicapper, investing 70-plus hours per week, he opted to streamline and concentrate on only national TV games.  His efficiency has paid off hitting at least 58 % in college and pro football and basketball. All plays are rated equally. He’s nailed 13-of-15 picks. New Orleans/Phoenix ESPN side and total

Game of the Day

Authenticated Plays (explanation) will hit between 64 and 72 percent this year in the NBA based on historic data. Get the first Authenticated Play this NBA season on Charlotte/Detroit side

Bill Tanner is one of just two handicappers who is Top 10 in each sport and overall, all-time based on at least 1,000 picks per sport and 5,000 overall, units won. Last night he sweeps with Miami and Memphis under. Two sides and two totals in the NBA are Platinum Plays

Now to super capper Matt Rivers has so much insight on these games, it’s almost not fair. Just read the analysis and you will see why Matt Rivers was the winningest handicapper ever on a large network of handicapping sites before being promoted to The Show.

From Matt: I had 12 of 14 winning days now after the Ohio Bobcats. That includes a perfect 7-0 over the last four days on the gridiron for 675,000* of profit and five straight 75,000* winners. 

And today my Monster 100,000* is on the hardwoods which should tell you something about how easy that game is. I am the hottest man alive, bar none. I have the NBA Game of the Year plus Toledo vs. Central Michigan.

No to Stevie Vincent who has been bailing out Adam Meyer, Brandon Lang, and Jonathan Stone clients.

A Perfect Play means an angle that is a 100 percent angle with a minimum of 12 games. However, not all 12-0 or better stats automatically qualify as a Perfect Play depending on counter information and the time period the perfect stat applies. NOTE THIS IS A NEW definition upon review.

Superstar Stevie Vincent is on a 29-16 scorching tear in all sports. This stud of a handicapper has two pro basketball including his first Perfect Play of the year plus a collegiate hardwood winner.

Last but not least is the best handicapper among those currently walking on earth, Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy.

Long-term domination continued last night and the remarkable year, decade, and last two centuries of winning continued with Ohio. Tonight it’s Toledo-Central Michigan side plus at least six NBA: four Majors and two Wise Guy plays. Wise Guy plays from Joe Duffy’s GodsTips are widely accepted by high rollers, bookmakers, linesmakers, and fellow handicappers as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss.

NFL Odds – Broncos, Redskins Look to Get On Right Path

Those looking at the sportsbook odds for Sunday’s clash between Denver and Washington may be just hoping for a good game as these two have combined to lose their last six games. Will the Broncos get back on track, or will the Redskins break out of their funk?

Broncos vs Redskins odds – Sunday, November 15, 1:00 PM ET

The Broncos (6-2) have lost their last two games, both against AFC North teams Baltimore and Washington, by a combined score of 58-17. Denver couldn’t get anything going in their 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh at home on Monday night, as Kyle Orton was 23-of-38 for 221 yards and three picks, while the Broncos managed a paltry 27 yards of rushing. The Broncos are starting to come back to where their NFL odds said they would be, and a trip to Washington is just what the doctor ordered.

The Redskins (2-6) fell 31-17 at Atlanta for their fourth straight loss, and you don’t even know where to start with Washington, whose NFL odds are pretty much non-existent right now. Jason Campbell was 15-of-22 for 196 yards, a touchdown and a pick, but he was sacked five times in the first half. They gave up 181 yards on the ground, and committed 10 penalties. If you can take a positive out of this game, it’s that the Redskins converted nine of their 16 third-down attempts. 

Unlike the Pacquiao vs Cotto odds, where there is a clear favorite, this game figures to be closer as the Broncos are a 3.5-point favorite on the road. They haven’t played in Washington since 1998, when they pounded the Redskins 38-16. It won’t be that bad this time, but Denver should be able to win this rather easily. With Clinton Portis on the sidelines, the ball will be Campbell‘s hands more, and he may get hurt by the Denver pass rush behind that awful offensive line. The Washington defense is decent, but they get worn down due to their offensive problems, so this would be a great time to get the running game back on track.

NFL Picks: Denver -3.5

Matt Rivers Free NBA Pick and Details of the NBA Game of the Year

In the spirit of Jimmy the Greek, there is not a hotter sports handicapper in the world then Matt Rivers. The Carrie Prejean sex tape video is not as hot.

Tonight he comes strong with a winner on the Pistons at home against Charlotte. Detroit is laying -4 at Bodog
 
The Detroit Pistons are certainly far from being anything better than a mediocre squad right now. Plus both Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince are expected to miss once again but with that said the Hornets just played last night at home against Dwight Howard and the Magic and now are in some more trouble on this back-to-back with travel.
 
Larry Brown’s boys do have some talent with Gerald Wallace, Boris Diaw, Ray Felton and a few others but they are still not a good team and certainly not a group which should go on the road in a situation like this and be all that successful in.
 
This Pistons’ franchise is in a bit of a decline as the glory years are well behind them but they have already beaten both Philadelphia and Orlando at home and with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva in the fold this season along with the improving Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum I will take my chances on them here at the Palace. It’s tough to ever win on the road and especially in this situation for the visitors.
 
The Pistons have had the last two days off after disposing of the 76ers at home and should be as fresh as a daisy. I can see Gordon filling it up and the boys from Motown taking care of business somewhere in the neighborhood of eight points.

 

For more information: I had 12 of 14 winning days now after the Ohio Bobcats. That includes a perfect 7-0 over the last four days on the gridiron for 675,000* of profit and five straight 75,000* winners. 

And today my Monster 100,000* is on the hardwoods which should tell you something about how easy that game is. I am the hottest man alive, bar none. I have the NBA Game of the Year plus Toledo vs. Central Michigan. Click now to purchase
