2022 Post-Plague Madness – Rounding Out Round One

King Hippo - March 18, 2022March 18, 2022

The early window, as quasi-predicted, was a wet bag of shit. DUE BETTER, night windows! 13S Chattanooga (+8) v. 4S Illinois (6:50, TNT) What's the fucking deal with all the schools that used to be "State-hyphen-City" who are now just "City?" I fear and reject ALL CHANGE. 15W Cal-State Fullerton (+18.5) v. 2W Duke

2022 Post-Plague Madness – Friday Primavera

King Hippo - March 18, 2022March 17, 2022

OK, I think that counts as madness yesterday. Goodbye, Kenfucky. 12 seeds run rampant, except for Indiana - who got curb-stomped by...St. Mary's?? UCLA used all nine of their lives. More games, more work avoidance, more entropy to come! 10S Loyola-Chi**** (Pick 'em) v. 7S Ohio State (12:15, CBS) Pretty cool respect

You gots gots to git it! (also Happy Alcoholism Evening, if y'all happen to be Irish and not yet passed out) 12W New Mexico State (+6.5) v. 5W UConn (6:50, TNT) This is where we hope the Fightin' Horatios make their name sake happy drink instead of angry drink. Either way, there will

Sunday EPL/Owl Prediciones Thread

King Hippo - February 13, 2022

Again, I apologize for not crapping out a Saturday nighter. As partial recompense, here is a morning one. Spurs/Wolves is the best of the three 9:00 offerings (all action on Peacock), with European qualification meaning for each club. Until midweek, Wolves had been flying shit-hot. Spurs, on the other hand, have

AFL Beat! AFLW Round 5

Hey all. This is likely my last post of the season. I do dabble in PGA and NHL DFS but I don't know nearly enough about PGA to impart any sort of wisdom, and NHL contests typically suck in terms of entries and payouts, so I have not been able

Boris’s Divisional Round DFS Writeup

borisnow - January 22, 2022January 22, 2022

Beyond making you, and me, really want a cheeseburger right now...the triple stack (QB with 3 of his teammates) may be the way to go. I have vowed to myself not to be surprised by RB usage this weekend. This was me when I played Gio Bernard at low ownership last

Boris’s DFS Showdown Strategy with a Side of Autopsy

borisnow - January 17, 2022January 17, 2022

I'm sitting here wishing I had a job where I could literally get paid to not fucking do it. Fuck NFL beat writers. You didn't win anything yesterday unless you played Jerick McKinnon, and no one knew he was going to be the starting RB because the people who cover the

Georgia (-2.5) v. Alabama (8:00, all teh ESPNs) I will watch the standard feed, because I am boring. You can tell by the line - Vegas thinks everyone is or will overreact(ing) to the SEC title ass-whipping. As you may recall, Bama needed that win desperately, while the Dawgs needed it not at
