We enjoy another big college football DFS slate on Saturday, with 13 games on DraftKings. As players seem to be finally re-learning how to tackle, the over/unders are dropping a bit. In a return to 2019 form, I’ll focus most of this week’s picks on the Big 12. Here are […]
The Week 9 main slate will feature 11 games and the return of Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. Whether or not he’s worth paying up for this week is debatable, but if you want to spend the cash on him or, say, Vikings running back Dalvin Cook […]
The PGA Tour heads to Memorial Park Golf Course for the Vivant Houston Open this week, a unique venue that features five par 5s and five par 3s — all of which could have major implications for DFS scoring. Dustin Johnson is returning after recovering from COVID-19, and the world’s […]
The Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour burst on the scene earlier this year to provide world-class chess players with big money online tournaments throughout the spring and summer. Now, the Play Magnus Group is expanding on that idea with the Champions Chess Tour, a 10-event series beginning later this month. The […]
Democrats expressed shock to see DraftKings post a US map on Twitter awash in a sea of red, but that portrayal doesn’t quite represent what some may think. The DSF and sportsbook operator is offering a free-play contest for its users to predict the 2020 presidential election results, handing out […]

We’re entering Week 9 of the college football season, and are just now finally getting some Big 10 games on the DFS slate. Thanks, COVID-19. But, better late than never as DraftKings is offering a whopping 13 games (which would have been 14 before the cancelation of the Nebraska-Wisconsin game) […]
Devante Adams and Tyler Lockett blew up the Week 7 NFL slate in DFS last week, combining for nearly 100 points on DraftKings. Hopefully, if you took some of the value plays touted here last week, you were able to afford some of those higher-priced receivers. Those two are among […]
This week’s Bermuda Championship, at the 6,828-yard, par-71 Port Royal Golf Club in Southampton, Bermuda, will feature 130 golfers, with the top 65 and ties making the cut. Brendon Todd won last year, but hasn’t exactly been smoking the tour lately. The Masters looms, so most of the world’s best […]
A couple of key starters were lost to injuries in Week 7, including Odell Beckham, Jr. (blown ACL) and Kenyan Drake (ankle). Fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions in Week 8 include QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Rashard Higgins, RB Chase Edmonds, RB Wayne Gallman, and TE Trey Burton. The New […]
The continued offensive firepower of the Big 12, combined with a plethora of bad defense, means we can spread our college football DFS love all around this week. In fact, an ACC quarterback could be the slate breaker, and an SEC game may be the most stackable. These are the […]
Week 7 of the NFL means we’re nearly two months into the season, a delight in the age of COVID-19. I’m pulling from four positions for this week’s value plays, and going to the Cardinals well twice in what should be a high-scoring affair against Seattle. Kyle Allen, Washington QB […]
The PGA Tour heads to Thousand Oaks, CA, this week for the Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club. The par-72 course will play at a shade over 7,000 yards for the tournament. Another no-cut event, this one features 78 players. Tiger Woods famously won last year with a score of […]
If your fantasy football team is saddled with injuries, or you must bench key starters due to a bye week, we’ve pinpointed a couple of players who should be available in most FFL leagues. Consider adding Boston Scott (Philadelphia Eagles), Tim Patrick (Denver Broncos), Keelan Cole (Jacksonville Jaguars), or Dallas […]
When Jan-Krzysztof Duda defeated World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen in the fifth round of the Altibox Norway Chess tournament on Oct. 10, it caused a sensation in the chess world. The victory ended Carlsen’s 125-game unbeaten run in classical play, the longest known streak in chess history. The result also […]
Magnus Carlsen tricked Alireza Firouzja in a theoretically drawn endgame to win their Round 9 encounter and clinch first place at Norway Chess with a round to spare. Carlsen would go on to lose his final game to Levon Aronian – his second classical loss of the tournament, after his […]
Magnus Carlsen did what he needed to do in Round 8, beating Aryan Tari to take the lead at Norway Chess. Now, the world champion faces off with the hottest young talent in chess, Alireza Firouzja, who holds second place behind Carlsen heading into Round 9. Carlsen holds the Norway […]
In the age of COVID-19, the CJ Cup, normally played at Nine Bridges in South Korea, will take place at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas this week. Justin Thomas won the event two of the past three years, a stat that might prove irrelevant given the change of venue. Shadow […]
Heading into Week 6 of the NFL season, consider these waiver wire pickups: Chase Claypool, Travis Fulgham, Andy Dalton, Alexander Mattison, or Tee Higgins. After Dak Prescott suffered a brutal, season-ending injury, fantasy football owners will scramble to find a suitable replacement like his backup, Dalton. Dalvin Cook injured his […]
DFS players at DraftKings and FanDuel are finally receiving payouts from the weekend contests after delays due to live scoring issues, but participants in some contests are still left waiting.
