      THE 2024 WAGERTALK DRAFT GUIDE

      THE 2024 WAGERTALK DRAFT GUIDE

      Most fans are excited about the draft on how it helps their favorite NFL team but knowing what each team lost is even more important. Ralph uses a one to eight points weighted grading system quantifying what each team lost. 
       

      Ranks for each conference plus school ranks by points lost, alphabetically and by individual conferences.

      The SEC was the top conference again with 50 players drafted and 190 points lost.

      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. Small conferences are particularly profitable due to mispriced injuries and his profiling of exploitable coaching tendencies.
