College Football Bowl All-Access — Now Just $149

The most exciting bowl season ever is almost here. With the expanded playoff format, this year’s schedule blends the tradition of college bowls with an NFL-style postseason, creating the deepest and longest slate we’ve ever offered.

The first 46 bowl and playoff games kick off December 13th, with the CFB National Championship set for Monday, January 19th. That’s over 38 straight days of college football, and your Bowl All-Access Pass includes every side, total, and prop your handicapper releases from the opening bowl game through the title matchup. This also includes all 5% Best Bets, which are normally priced at $35 each.

Added Value: When you purchase the Early Bird Bowl Package, you also receive any client releases for the Conference Championships—plus any selections released for the Army–Navy game—at no additional cost.

The Bowl Package is regularly $209 and was discounted to $179 for our Early Bird window. Through Sunday at midnight, you can lock it in for just $149.

Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+106)

Playing with no rest is tough but when a team has no rest and playing in the altitude of Denver those teams are 4-28 (12.5%)!

Colorado is on a 14-3 run but are coming off a 4-3 loss where they had a rest deficit.

They have won their L3 at home off a loss bu a combined 18-8.

Florida is a surprising 15-14 incl 1-3 with a rest deficit.

When the Panthers play a good offense with a total of 6 & higher they are 3-9 with all 3 wins as a HF and all 6 L's on the road.

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.
