Big Jim's tip for 22 October: Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears
It’s hard to describe how important this game is for both of these clubs. Detroit needs a win to stay in the hunt for the finals and the Bears need a win to cement their position on top of the division. I’m going to go for a high scoring...

Big Jim's tip for 21 October: Queens Park Rangers v Everton
This is the type of game where I like to back the draw. Everton is the better team but they are on the road. If the score is still level late in the second half, I have a feeling that both teams will be satisfied to take a point and look towards...

Big Jim's tip for 20 October: West Ham United
“I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air.” The Hammers’ fans will be singing their hearts out when the Londoners host their Southern foes from Southampton. I think this is the perfect matchup for West Ham and...

Big Jim's tip for 19 October: December Draw
The Caulfield Cup is a middle to long distance handicap and is considered the best form guide for the Melbourne Cup. It might not be as hard to pick a winner here as it is in the Melbourne Cup, but it’s still far from easy. The good thing is...

Big Jim’s tip for 18 October: Seattle Seahawks
The NFC West is no longer the laughing stock of the league. These are tough teams with brutal defenses. The 49ers are the better team but the Seattle Seahawks are coming up! They will get a very nice head start and I reckon they’ll bring their...

Big Jim's weekend preview
Well, all you EPL freaks will get your fix as the boys take back to the green grass of England again. It seems like another weekend where good teams are going to dominate at home. If you are looking for a possible upset then you could get behind the...

Big Jim’s tip for 17 October: Jason Day
Jason Day was a new golfing talent everyone was talking about a year ago. He hasn’t had the best of years, but this weekend he has a chance to get tongues wagging again. The wonderful seaside course in Georgia should suit him well and his...

Big Jim’s tip for 16 October: Detroit Tigers
Justin Verlander should start for the Tigers tonight, which makes them a fantastic bet. Verlander has ice in his veins and the Detroit faithful will be out in force baying for Yankee blood. Tigers to win! Sport: BaseballCompetition: Major League...

Leave the diving for the Olympics
Diving tarnishes international football. Luis Suarez and Liverpool Football Club are in the spotlight at the moment regarding this issue. I think Suarez is a cheat and Liverpool should pull his head in, but it’s unfair to point the finger at...

Big Jim’s tip for 15 October: San Diego Chargers
I hate betting on the San Diego Chargers. The major problem with them is their coach Norv Turner. He makes the other 31 head coaches in the NFL look good and feel secure in their jobs. However, I’m going to give you another go tonight Norv...

Big Jim’s tip for 14 October: San Francisco 49ers
What a game we have this afternoon – last year’s NFC Championship game replay. These two teams have had some incredible confrontations over the years. The Giants got the best of the 49ers last year but there is a change in the air. The...

The hype surrounding football in Australia has never been bigger – Sydney FC has just signed Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero. All this hype blew up in Sydney’s face last week however, with an opening round loss, but we can expect a huge...

Big Jim's tip for 12 October: Pierro
Lamasery let us down last week in the Metropolitan, but spring racing has only just begun so there’s plenty of time to turn our luck around and pick some winners. This week Caulfield takes center stage and we are going to get behind possibly...

Big Jim's tip for 11 October: Pittsburgh Steelers
Big Ben is back! The Steelers defense is not what it was in the past but their monster of a quarterback is fit, healthy and doing what he does best. I’m always scared to bet against an underdog playing at home but I just can’t get...
