2025 Playbook Football Questions Interviews

1. What is your primary style of handicapping?
Data-driven situational handicapping.
 
2. What is your “golden rule” of handicapping?
Plan for the entire season, not just week-to-week. 

3. What is the first thing you look for when handicapping a game?
The opening line – analyzing where the market is and where it will go is as important as anything specific to the matchup.
 
4. Which team statistic do you value the most?
In college football, I often give run defense a bit more weight in my analysis.

5. What do you like the most about the expanded college football playoff?
The top players from more than four teams will stick around for the bowl season.

6. Which college football team is most likely to win this season's playoff?
I think LSU is a serious threat to emerge from the crowded SEC picture as a top contender.

7. Biggest surprise college football team this season?
Baylor should be back to being a significant player in the Big XII picture.
 
8. Biggest college football bust this season?
Florida is getting quite a lot of preseason attention as a sleeper, but a very tough schedule is ahead, and Billy Napier is yet to produce a winning SEC season.

9. Which college football coach commands your attention from a handicapping perspective?
Year one wasn’t the greatest, but Kalen DeBoer’s track record on his meteoric rise to Alabama warrants respect.

10. Which NFL team is most likely to win this season's Super Bowl?
Buffalo has an incredibly favorable schedule to emerge as the AFC’s top seed for the first time since 1993.
 

11. Biggest surprise NFL team this season?
San Francisco should bounce back in a big way after last year’s stunning 6-11 fall.

12. Biggest NFL bust this season?

Detroit won’t come close to matching last season’s amazing 15-2 record and could be a borderline playoff team.

13.  Who is your favorite recording artist?
Pearl Jam

14. What is your favorite song?
All Along the Watchtower

15. What is your favorite movie?
The Big Lebowski
