I certainly hope that you are enjoying the write-ups because the gambling gods are not amused. The Best Bet columns are off to an 0-3 start, which turns “Best Bet” into an oxymoron, unless the best bet is to fade them. If that’s the case, congratulations on the 3-0 start!

There are a lot of really interesting college football games in Week 4. Many of them are being discussed.

There have been some legendary battles on the hardwood between Louisville and Syracuse, whether they occurred at on-campus sites or at Madison Square Garden in the Big East (RIP) tournament.
