Mike “the Eagle” Rodriguez- Head Writer / Pick’em Expert

Mike Rodriguez is pursuing a sports writing career, but has found he’s spent most of the last decade driving to casinos and bars every Friday & Monday placing bets and collecting winnings. Mike lived in Las Vegas for about 3 years before moving to the West coast.  Mike has a unique style when picking games, and even studied up on how Vegas creates the spread each week. Mike has devised a go-to system, which some know of as the “outplay” formula. The outplay formula is based on teams points per game average, both offensively and defensively. However, gut instinct and a love of the game can also be factors in making game time decisions. Mike Rodriguez has a picking percentage of a least 82% for the last 4 years.

 Matty “the Bulldog” - Writer

At first look, you’d think Matt could play left tackle or at least be a bouncer at some night club. But the Bulldog nickname came from his money skills as a financial advisor. Matt uses his wall street skills for giving advice, and finds it pays off as a gambler without having to sell his soul as a broker. One major perk to his profession is the free time it allows him; we always joke that he gets his mail sent to the casino.
