Q. What`s the biggest mistake fans make when trying to predict game winners?

Q. What kind of information does Covers.com have that isn`t available anywhere else?

We provide daily news and feature stories about odds for key American sporting events. We are in daily contact with the professionals who track sports and can provide the latest information on their take on a game and predicted winners. We also provide data that other sites don`t take the time or have the information to analyze, including the impact the weather or game day officials/referees have had on previous outings.
Q. What sports does your site follow?
A. Beyond every football and baseball game, we cover hockey, golf, NASCAR, NBA, WNBA, tennis, boxing and American soccer.
Q. In your experience with college football, what stat should more fans pay attention to?
A. Defensive stats and turnovers. Teams with better turnover ratios win more, yet this remains one of the most overlooked stats. Offensive producers receive far more media attention. Teams with great defenses often provide better opportunities to cover the Vegas spread.
Q. What the coolest part of the site?
A. The Forum. This is where fans talk to each other and exchange views. You can get a fresh perspective on a game or information you haven`t heard of yet that could help you pick the winning team.
