The Griff Report - College Football Edition 2025 Kickoff
The Griff Report
College Football Kickoff Early consensus on the Irish but I’m not sure I would worry about that too much… Rewind to last year, Carson Beck was at Georgia and got hurt right before the tournament in the SEC Championship game. He had to still prepare or even one more had to prepare his backup to be prepared. The question is does he give himself the same advice he gave his backup in falling short to the Irish and with that being part of his last bit at Georgia does he feel like that injury stopped Georgia from worst case scenario an epic title game if not another business as usual for...

The Griff Report - Pro Baseball Edition - May 8th 2025
The Griff Report
MLB Back from trying to figure out whom is calling me by making the worst prank calls ever and then seeing who is following me because they will be spewing their perverted lies… I thought when you have a catfish you’re supposed to set the hook. Enough about my schizophrenic hallucinations or the MK Ultra meets a vindictive bogus RICO investigation designed to end me in the mental health ward for not knowing what they thought I should. Speaking of the mental health ward, Dean Kramer has a 15.4 ERA vs. Minnesota in two appearances. They look to avoid the sweep here but face the Twins...

The Griff Report- Sweet 16 2025
The Griff Report
NCAA Sweet 16 Duke ML 99% 43k vs Arizona – Don’t fall into following these huge money line consensus favorites. The Blue Devils are leading the tournament in margin of victory. You may look live bet here but if your headstrong on the Duke side then just lay the number where you get your bet at. Duke has been the one man show and if that show gets slowed then it happens in the tournament. 78 % of the bets on Duke laying that -9.5 points here. I would recommend waiting because Arizona isn’t going to be blown out from the tip off, they have the talent to beat Duke but those balls have to...

The Griff Report - NCAA Round of 32 Saturday
The Griff Report
Arkansas vs St. John’s – Calipari vs. Pitino, but this one seems like a game where Pitino would be in the white suit with red handkerchief and change it at halftime. Arkansas was a team with little concern for early season loses as the unity and cohesiveness built as the year went on. They have the size to match up with anyone, and while I did initially pick St. Johns for the Final Four, I see this game as even match weighted to the Hogs for Davis and the importance of having the best point guard on the floor. I’ll take the points and enjoy a good game, no I wouldn’t be surprised to...

The Griff Report - NCAA Tournament
The Griff Report
NCAA Tournament Friday Games Duke UNDER 140.5 Its a new era in Chapel Hill and they are loaded with talent and looking to keep the tradition just like Bob Knight handed to Coach K, now John Scheyer is likely to be elite 8 minimum most every season. I shy away from the big spread that Duke will probably cover and take the UNDER 140.5 Florida OVER 153.5 I would have the Gators on a long road to the tournament but since they won the league tournament they may be get ahead of themselves after they blow out these first two teams. I’ll take Florida Over Team Total , OVER 153.5 U CONN -5.5- Last...

The Griff Report -NCAA Tournament First Round
The Griff Report
Clemson -7.5 – A team that went on a run last year and they come back after competing for the ACC this year. This team will either be there or the won’t but I’ll try to get them with a discount live bet however I think they cover the -7.5 Highpoint +9 – Boilermakers 1-5 ATS neutral site and 4-7 non confernce. They miss having Edey put I’m taking High Point and pray it don’t jam. Arkansas V Kansas – I see it all piled on consensus on the Hogs here. Really where else could I go but the points knowing that Kansas has been unfocused waiting on the tournament with some of their guys...

The Griff Report
Not since 1965 Thats right the Steelers haven’t won in Philadelphia since 65. 73 % of the money on Pittsburgh consensus. These two have really got up and down the field in the past two matchups with the Eagles getting the 64 points in two matchups. The Steelers 51 in 22 and 20 but with Wilson is this team really ready to line up with a team that was so close to beating those Chiefs a few years ago? I almost never do this but I’m going to lay the number with the Eagles here. Pittsburgh also the heavy consensus money line for the outright upset. It was just last October the Titans did...

The Griff Report - Pro Football Picks 11-28, 11-29, 12-1
The Griff Report
Turkey Day thru Sunday NFL Picks The Lions playing the best I’ve ever seen them in my lifetime as of late. The Bears look to have their bread basket open for a thorough beating but a Quick Look at the head to head in this matchup tells me not so fast. Last year it appears as though the Bears at least had a gameplay last year, with the question being how much of that was Justin Fields? I see the consensus loaded up on the Lions as it has been pretty much every game this year. Knowing the Lions are capable of the blowout is one way of looking at this, but this is Chicago’s third division...

NFL 5 Pick - Sunday November 3, 2024
The Griff Report
Dallas vs. Atlanta, it’s the Cowboys who haven’t met their great expectations but remember two things here 1. Since the only games that mattered last year for DaK and the Cowboys were playoff games then really when they slide into a wild card then the only games that will matter for them is playoff games again. 2. Kirk Cousins is 2-9 for his career vs. Dallas. There used to be less room for error but with the expanded season now it’ll be when they are able to see what Zeke has left in the tank or whoever else can step up and tote the rock that this team then will be able to ease up the...
info_outlineTop of board seeing all the money on the Ravens, hosting the Raiders. What did we learn from week 1? The Ravens are still getting warmed up as they looked like they were rehearsing for a game in January but it wasn’t game day yet, but it was week 1 of the NFL with the expanded season. What the Raiders did was put their chips on a defensive mastermind who has the brains of G-men taking down the goat in the Super Bowl. This is one where I’m gonna say my pick but your looking and saying only 9% consensus on the Raiders that can’t be right Griff. Well head to head last time was a Raiders win, and I have to believe in house that the Raiders believe Minshew is capable of getting them to postseason or you gotta draft someone which they didn’t. Wait there more Minshew II just beat the Ravens a year ago in Baltimore with a less respected group of receivers. F the consensus… Give me the Raiders and points, Raiders over Team Total!
Oh no Griff don’t pick them no one thinks they are going to win! Once again, the world saw how bad the Giants are in truth last week but that must’ve not been their day or those horrible uniforms made everyone want to say you guys are playing like Michigan except thats a college team and you might be in for loss against Georgia. This week they get their most favorable matchup of the year… the Commanders. New QB for Washington and he might look like a star playing at home but wait the Giants are 3-0-1 against Washington the last four matchups. I believe the Giants may take advantage of the rookie here and I’m gonna just hope they play better or the coach may be someone else’s coach next year.
Are the Bengals still in preseason mode? Looks like no Higgins and no way they are gonna be able to bobble the ball that much and win in almost any game this year. They had the fumble when they were about to score more dropped passes and just an overall un-cohesiveness that implied to me watching the whole game that they are not concerned about winning week 1. This thing is going to have be a marathon for the Bengals so it’ll be how they finish, maybe how good Burrow learns to do that Peyton Manning let the defense get in pass defense and then audible your blockers routine and run where your can go hat vs hat routine. Right now? The Chiefs looked like world beaters, won only 2 of 5 vs. the Bengals with current QBs and the KC defense has been best in the league when they are locked in. Can anyone else step up when they double Chase? If so the Bengals win maybe cover. For me I’ll slide on to the total and think both teams want sustained drives and not a lot of full steam ahead hits for a hundred plays so I’ll go with the under but wait consensus is 97% on the over 48 here. F- Consensus give me the Bengals and I’m not touching the whatever number your holding fool. At least Burrow has better history against this team and maybe this thing turns into a shoot-out and at that point anything can happen. Consensus on the Chiefs, but me I got my Bengals wool jacket and I’ll take the 6 points.
Well Rodgers and Jets got gut the jab jab gut punch routine at the hands of the 49ers week 1. This week they actually have a shot to win. I’ll leave it at that, I’m on the Jets money line here and if that don’t work I’ll double it back until Rodgers pilots the Jets to victory no matter how many games that routine takes. Plus remember the Titans last trip to NYC to face the Jets? Take the points and hope you don’t get clipped in the fight and end up wishing you would’ve just laid the odds instead of the number.
Where do you go historically or just with a gut instinct in the Steelers vs. Broncos. It’s been a long time since Pittsburgh has won in Denver, not since 2009. One for the guys in yellow? How about 24-6 for Tomlin vs rookie QBs. Who’s at QB now thats Fields I believe or we would have another story line with Wilson vs. Denver. Fields lost last year vs. Denver but it really wasn’t his fault, he threw for 28 of 35 9+ yards per for 335 yards 4 TD and 1 INT. If he does anywhere close to that then he has a much better run game and defense to back him this year. I won’t recommend laying the number here either, slide on over to the money line because this could be an under here as well and who thought the Steelers start 2-0, well we will see.
If you need more picks than that you might want to seek professional help… and I mean that literally because if you don’t have the right stats you might as well just throw your money away. As Always best of luck and enjoy your Sunday!
