Currently in hiatus, Chadam and Nick’s “Best Bets” feature predicted who would win on Sunday, with or against the spread.

A Fool and His Money in Week 4

Move over Kevin Garnett, we have a new No. 1 on Chadam’s “Most Hated Athlete for Gambling Purposes” list: Brett Favre. Let me explain.

If you didn’t notice, congratulations — you rock. Starting Week 2, picks should be up prior to…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 1

These two moderately delusional individuals will…… Continue reading Introducing Two Fools and Their Money
