Hey, check it out … football’s back!
BATSBY Sports offers its 15 most appealing betting picks for the upcoming football weekend (college and pro).
For those with short memories, undoubtedly wiped out by the COVID-19 shutdown, we enjoyed a scintillating overall record of 176-116-3 from last September to February (60.2 winning percentage), otherwise known as Year 1 of the BATSBY project.
And we fully expect to be similarly stellar in Year 2, which has already begun with a tangible bang! (Current winning rate: 59 percent.)
