Big Jim’s tip for Jan 11: Edmonton
There are only a couple of games in the NHL today but I think we can find a winner. The Edmonton Oilers host the New Jersey Devils and should have too much firepower for the Devils. After all, the Canadians need something to cheer about. Sport:...

Big Jim’s tip for Jan 10: Chicago
The Bulls are back. It’s been a long time since Chicago basketball fans had something to cheer about, but 2012 might just be their year. The Bulls travel to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves and I can’t see any reason why their great start...

Big Jim’s tip for Jan 8: Pittsburgh Steelers
It’s wild card weekend in the NFL, which means the first week of the playoffs. There are four great games this weekend. I think the best bet will be in the last game where the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Sports Authority Field at Mile High...

Big Jim's tip for Jan 4: Newcastle
Newcastle take on Manchester United in what should be a great mid week game. I like the Magpies on the Asian handicap because they will be more than happy to come away with a draw. You should get either half a goal or even a full goal head start. I...
