NBA TIP-OFF 2025!
Hello basketball fans! One of the best times of the year is approaching with the alignment of all four major sports leagues, and my favorite, the return of the Association!

Week 8 CFB 2025 - DOC
POW: 4-0 +14.9U Season Total: 21-24 -1.7U #JUSTICE for James Franklin. After an awful week 6 I had to take week 7 off. Basketball season please come sooner. I am going to see if THE SPORACLE will allow a #HOOPS chain as many also refer to me as the "NBA Prop GURU." I am sure CBB enthusiast WILLIAM TICKETS will get behind this movement. Also, for all the haters out there, I am #UP thanks to NFL. Anyways, despite a losing week and a week off, I have come to the same conclusion

CFB 2025 Week 8 Picks -- The Sporacle
Last Week: 4-6 Overall (-1.85u) Overall: 41-30 (+29.92u) Last Week Recap: When will the bleeding stop? It seems like the Football Betting Gods are punishing me for my harsh (but correct) assessment of Mike Norvell, and my betting season is tied to the performance of the Noles. It seems like every week the Noles lose, our picks lose as well. Good news is, the Noles play a glorified high school team this week and barring a catastrophic failure, they are in line for a win.
