Sam Panayotovich FOX Sports Betting Analyst The stupid-hot run continues. We won three of four bets last weekend and pushed Bears-Cardinals Over 43 thanks to a 27-16 final score in Chicago. That’s now a 16-2-4 heater since Thanksgiving, which is just downright absurd if we’re being honest. I’ve got one college football bet and three NFL plays this weekend. Remember, …

DANIA BEACH – Dec. 3, 2023, is a day that will live in infamy in Athens, Georgia and Tallahassee, Florida.
