Weekend Warrior: Every CFB & NFL Play Your Handicapper Releases For Sat & Sun. Just $49!
Two days. Two sports. One pass. Pick your handicapper and get every College Football play they release on Saturday, and every NFL play they release on Sunday in one package. Any 5% max football releases are included too, no upcharge. Retail runs $78. You’re in for $49!
Here’s the edge most people miss: plays go out the moment they’re released. Buy early in the week, and you get every play in real time, at the number your handicapper actually bet. Wait until the weekend, and you risk buying in after the line has already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more plays you catch at the right price.
This is your handicapper’s full football weekend for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don’t leave a play or a number on the table!
*Access covers games played on Saturday and Sunday.

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.
