2024 Playbook Football Questions Interviews
1. What is your primary style of handicapping?
In my years of handicapping College & Pro football, few tools have been better than an underdog with a better defense. Now, we can't start at the beginning of the season when there are always the one hit wonders in the early season, especially in College Football, who put up a sub (200) yard performance against the dregs of college football. After about the fourth week, we can start separating the cream. That's when we start finding winning “defensive dogs”. Every year will find a different list.
2. What is your “golden rule” of handicapping?
Three things can happen when you bet Underdogs and Two of them are good.
3. What is the first thing you look for when handicapping a game?
Pointspread, Site, Coaches, Injuries, Weather, Last opponent & Next opponent, Defenses.
