      THE 2025 WAGERTALK DRAFT GUIDE!

      THE 2025 WAGERTALK DRAFT GUIDE!
       

      While the Draft brings excitement and promise to the NFL teams and fans, I feel it is MORE important to quantify what each CFB team lost in the Draft.

      A weighted grading system from 8 points to one point for each team. They are sorted by points lost and alphabetically.
      There is also a conference-by-conference breakdown as well as the teams that have lost the most in the draft the last 4 years!

      Consultant Bio

      Ralph was raised in the home of handicappers in Cleveland, Ohio. Starting in the industry as a key member of Phil Steele's early team, which expanded Northcoast Sports during the mid-90s. Ralph's personal following grew fast, allowing him to strike out on his own as the founder of California Sports. Over the next dozen years as General Manager of Phil Steele Publications and lead handicapper of Northcoast Sports, Ralph managed the creation of some of the most popular sports betting content ever, including Phil Steele's College Football Preview Magazine and Northcoast's Power Sweep Newsletter. Content displaying expertise so elite that Ralph was invited into college football's most exclusive club: Heisman Trophy Voter
      Ralph Michaels has a math mind, steadily searching for a value in the numbers in addition to matchup edges, situational advantages, and hidden gems of information. Ralph finds more big bets in the college versions of football and basketball, but his handicapping approach also uncovers selective winners in the professional leagues like MLB. Small conferences are particularly profitable due to mispriced injuries and his profiling of exploitable coaching tendencies.
