People Of The Blog: Tyler Allen

April 26, 2023 /

Hi, my name is Tyler Allen, I am one of the people of the blog, and I own half of this excellent blog onthecardsports.com. I thought It would be an excellent series to start to begin to put a face to a name along with a story. We eventually want to expand too, and so this would be a great way to introduce new bloggers and content creators to the website.

It’s Me, Hi!…(Taylor Swift sung-style)

This is what I usually look like most of the time, backwards red sox cap, glasses, unshaven. The things I do for OTC are mostly technology related, I put together this website and execute all thing administration for it. JohhnyB recruited me because *his words, not mine,* the king of figuring tech stuff out, and doing it well! I also edit audio and video for various podcasts that we will start in the future on this website as well. Let me take you back to how we arrive here.

I was a nobody, an avid sports-watcher, degenerate gambler, and political shit talker. I went to college at University of Nebraska Kearney, learned a bunch of instruments, passionate about music, but fell in love with doing live sound and post production for music stuff.

In between the busy schedule of doing music/recording stuff, sports and pro wrestling was my escape. I kept tuned up during college talking to the sports management broadcasting majors, woodshedding sports takes. I would also start flirting with gambling, utilizing every offshore sportsbook/fantasy sportsbook I could get my hands on. I recorded and mixed some records, but most of my time would be delivering food to people and coming home to mix and finish projects.

I would listen to the combat sports channel when I was delivering sandwiches, Busted Open would be on early in the day, Luke Thomas would be on in the afternoon, but this Barstool radio occupied the middle of the day for two hours. I first thought Dave Portnoy sounded more french canadian-kevin owens-like. It would eventually grow to its own channel along with my curiosity about “content creation.”

I would not be here if this didn’t happen.

When Barstool Radio expanded into a full-blown channel, the former Indianapolis punter, Pat McAfee occupied the morning for 3 hours. I would often wake up to him saying “good morning beautiful people…” following with an inspirational quote to attack the day. I was a fan and was going to the Chiefs game, as a Charger fan at the time (now converted.) So I decided to buy a “for the brand” shirt in red, to just blend in. anyone asks I was a chiefs fan, just so I could get out the stadium alive.

I got noticed, a lot… My phone blew up, I didn’t notice initially, but people were hunting for me.

Then I was found and this was Pat’s Response.

https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxep_Z0qgENrqss8laM6iBe9el5bmJ0fEM

The podcast shout out at the link.

Anyway, I was recruited to start to put together a show for a bunch of us fans. I knew how to record and edit things and was tasked to figure out the best ways to record the show remotely. At first, We were loudmouth degenerates, but eventually we settled on “The Anomalies.”

Putting together shows remotely wasn’t quite as a well-known thing to do as we know now, post pandemic. So doing this show initially turned some heads asking how I did it.

Trev at Pro Sports Extra was most impressed. A few of the guys from The Anomalies were already blogging for the site already, so it made much sense to add ourselves as multimedia project as well. I would get to do many projects, mee people that I would never think I would ever meet in real life, and do Live streams with people, and one of those people I got to meet was Johnny B!

Eventually, We both left PSE for better ground, doing projects for ourselves and various other outlets. I went on to be a founding member of the Iron Ostrich Network, A network of shows and have an alliance with. Johnny B went on to do Spiked and wanted to do more shows, not just a College Football show. I ended up inviting the spiked boys to the network.

Which brings us up to now. Johnny and I have always wanted to talk about gambling on sports so this is what we decided to do with it is this website. He would crank out content, and I would do some content but do all the behinds the scenes technical stuff.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: N.C. State

April 26, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The Wolfpack finished the 2022 campaign with a 4-4 ACC record and 8-5 overall with a Duke’s May Bowl loss to Maryland. This one is tricky to give an analysis of because they did finish with a decent record. But the expectations at the start of the year were to win the ACC. That of course changed when their QB Leary was hurt for the year in early October. Their defense was a terrific unit last year and were ready to make a deep run. With the injury problems to their best offensive player early in the year I guess you can say it was a successful season.

Head Coach:

Coach Doeren is one of the longest tenured coaches in the ACC, being at State since 2012. Overall he is a good coach for the Wolfpack. He has made a bowl game in every year except two during his time in Raleigh. I would call him consistent and competitive but I don’t know if he can get N.C. State over that hump. Can he lead them to an ACC title and a playoff birth? I think he could if he gets the right players and some luck, it just hasn’t fallen into place yet. The Wolfpack are not a perennial power but are always on the cusp of being at the top of the conference. With all of that being said I guess the overall analysis of Doeren is a good coach with a high floor, low ceiling.

Key Players:

They lost Devin Leary to Kentucky so it will be up to Senior Grad Transfer from UVA Brennan Armstrong. The lefty had good success as a Cavalier early in his career but last year he and the offense at UVA was just bad. I think that has more to do with team and coach turnover then Armstrong. Jordan Houston is back to run the ball and catch passes out of the backfield. They also have two WRs who contributed last year coming back in Keyon Lesane and Porter Rooks Jr. Just as important in replacing Leary on offense is replacing DrakeThomas on defense who had over 100 tackles and 7.5 sacks. Payton Wilson will lead a very experienced defense, minus a few pieces leaving for the NFL this year. All of the expected defensive starters are upperclassman who have contributed in the past for the Wolfpack.

2023 Prediction:

Looking over the N.C. State schedule it is not the most difficult but have some games that could become tricky. They have Notre Dame early at home and have to play Clemson at home as well. Their tougher conference games vs. Louisville, Miami and UNC are all at home as well. I just don’t trust Armstrong at QB but if he proves me wrong this team can win 10 games. They could also be 5-7, the ceiling is high and the floor is low this year. I guess I will sit in the middle of that and they will win 8 games and go to a mid level bowl.

Put These On The Card 4/26

April 26, 2023 /

The worst two start in the history of “put these on the card” blog. Not fucking great boys, another 1-2 night, I think I got a little cute with my picks. Going with the public to try and save face instead of my big brain. No more public I am using what got me to one of the best daily internet gamblers and that is my gut.

We can bounce back from this 2-4 start to the week, it can be done. It is going to start tonight with these picks. No doubt in my mind that these are going to all be winners and the ship will be corrected. You can’t make and epic comeback if you were always ahead.

New York Yankees ML +102 @ Twins

I know I said I wasn’t going to take the Yanks for a while. Well I lied, all these picks tonight are historically winning teams. I need to get back on track so I am going chalk historical picks. Plus no way is this Yankees team going to be swept by the Twins. Come on boys its the fucking Twins, you own them, get it done tonight.

Boston Bruins ML -250 vs. Panthers

Yes my huge juice bag pick of the night, but I don’t care I want the W. The Bruins will close out Florida tonight at home. It is over the Bruins were woken up by the Panthers in game 2 when they lost at home. Since then Boston went to Florida and dominated the Panthers. Series ends tonight and I win this bet easy, since it is juicy hammer the Bruins.

Los Angeles Lakers ML + 142 @ Memphis

Yes I know the Grizzlies are back home and they were the better team all year. That doesn’t matter because because Dillon Brooks fucked up and poked the bear in Lebron James. This series is over tonight in Memphis. The Lakers have just been the better team on defense, offense and in transition. Ja is a great player but he can’t do it himself. Lebron, and the the Lakers move on tonight in the NBA Playoffs.

Colorado Blocks Transfers to Game Film

April 25, 2023 /

Deon Sanders and Colorado is under scrutiny by blocking transfers from accessing game film. Why block them from it? It makes sense after specially if you had a really good spring game! I don’t want to steal my partner’s future blog previewing the Colorado Buffalo’s, its a kick ass series that you can see the latest one about the Miami Hurricanes here.

ESPN broadcasted the buffalo’s spring game on Saturday, It was the only game on the network, with Chris Fowler on the call. It was an excellent start getting national exposure on the largest sports network in the nation.

Tiny Baby Buffs

After the game, Transfer Announcements starting WR Montana Lemonious-Craig, who kicked ass during the spring game with 154 yards and TD. He announces he is going into the portal. Head-Scratching to say the least…

After this, the Transfer’s didn’t stop there…

After all those transfers Monday night, Sean Keeler from the Denver Post wrote about Ugly Side of the Colorado rebuild. The Article states about how many of the players were not just suggested to go into the transfer portal, some of the players were forced into it.

in addition, to all these transfers, players being forced to join the transfer portal, Deon is not allowing any film to those that have announced that they are transferring. It’s not one thing forcing kids into the portal, but essentially kicking their ass on the way out and not allowing film so these kids get recruited to somewhere else is just a very tiny move. The tweet below went viral because of Deon’s inaction.

What’s next? how does Colorado rebuild after all these transfers? Could it get worse? I was just about to hit publish and then this gem popped up on my timeline.

I want to be proven wrong, but sure, keep this as a receipt, again I want to be proven wrong for the PAC-12’s sake. I know it won’t happen overnight. I want to thank the twitter feed @tinybabybuffs for all this info and pointing out how extremely small the players are for the school.

Put These On The Card 4/25

April 25, 2023 /

Well that was an absolute shitty start on yesterday’s ” put these on the card“. Not only did we go 1-2 and lose money. The fucking Rangers decided to take the ice and look like they were ready to play golf already. I don’t care so much about losing the money but they straight up don’t give a fuck about playing right now.

I am over it! I am taking a break from betting on my teams and from the Yankees. My Teams and the Yankees have just been absolute losers lately, so I am staying far away from them. Today we are going 3-0 and getting back on track.

Pittsburgh Pirates ML +104 vs. Dodgers

The biggest surprise in baseball this year is the first place Pirates. Pittsburgh is playing team baseball with young talent and I am here for it. They are home today vs. the mighty Dodgers and I love the Buccos. Noah is on the mound for LA and he is terrible. Give me the Pirates and the plus money to stay in first place.

Chicago Whites Sox ML + 168 @ Toronto

I am taking the south siders here because one of these days their talent is actually going to show up on the field. They have the names and who they are suppose to be, they just don’t put it together. Maybe today with Clevinger on the mound it starts to come together. Go Sox.

Los Angles Angels ML -174 vs. Oakland

I mean this is just a win for us today. Oakland is historically bad and I just wanted a guaranteed win on the record. It is a shame that the A’s are actually living out the plot from the movie Major League. Too bad there is no Pedro Cerano, Willie Mays Hayes or Ricky “Wild Thing”Vaughn to save them.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: U of Miami

April 25, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The “U” was the disappointment last year in college football. The team came in with huge expectations after a decent 2021, a new head coach, and a good QB. Everything, well to be honest, everything fell to shit for the Hurricanes. Van Dyke never got on track with Offensive Coordinator Josh Gattis. Gattis sucks at play calling and schemes. His play calling and style does not work outside of the slow defenses in the Big 10. Too many times Van Dyke was in 3rd and 8 because of shitty play calls on 1st and 2nd down. The defense finished low in rankings. Not because they weren’t good, but because the offense was never on the field.

Head Coach:

Mario Cristobal needs to fix the offensive problems and fast. He had great success at Oregon, but coming back to his Alma Matter is a larger task. The Canes finished 97th in offense in points per game. Cristobal has the track record with building great offensive lines and playing physical football. He puts guys in the NFL who play offensive line for him. The Canes need to figure out their offensive identity, the talent is there they just need a scheme to work with. Cristobal brought in Shannon Dawson this year to replace Gattis. Dawson was previously the Offensive Coordinator at high flying offensive powers Houston and West Virginia. Maybe he can help Van Dyke and Cristobal out.

Key Players:

Tyler Van Dyke is coming back to the U. There were a lot of rumors of him transferring out, including going to Alabama. Last year was not great for Tyler, but if you watch the tape it is not on him. The play calling was terrbile and his WR’s never bailed him out. I expect 2021 Tyler Van Dyke back under Dawson’s offense. He will be helped by veteran WR Xavier Restrepo, Colbie Young & Jacolby George. It will be hard to replace Tight End Will Mallory as a safety blanket. Red Shirt Senior Transfer Cam McCormick from Oregon will have to step up to that spot. The defense is loaded with upper classmen returning lead by FS JR Kamren Kitchens and SS JR James Williams.

2023 Prediction:

The Canes have a favorable Non-Conference Schedule. Playing 3 home games vs. Bethune Cookman, Texas A&M & Miami of Ohio. They also have to travel to Temple in the Non-Conference. They have the ability to go 4-0 in those games. The Canes do get Clemson at home, but have to play UNC and FSU on the road. There is no reason that this team is not a 9 or 10 game winner. All that being said, it is Miami and only Texas underachieves more than them so 6 or 7 is more likely for the Canes.

WWE Will Crown a New World Heavyweight Champion

April 24, 2023 /

Triple H made an earth-shattering announcement tonight on Raw, Well, actually two big announcements. The first was that Roman Reigns will be drafted to a brand and will stay on that brand only, with his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.

I would assume these two titles that Roman has, will combine into one, unless they just ditch the blue title after a PLE. The other announcement is that because of Romans new contract and not having to defend the title at every PLE, there was a need for a Title where a champ can defend it often. So they Unveiled a new big gold belt called the WWE world heavyweight championship. Here is that title down below:

Here is the new world heavyweight championship belt.

This is the announcement:

What do we think? who will be involved in that match for the new top WWE title?

Put These On The Card 4/24

April 24, 2023 /

Last week’s “put these on the card” was an absolute success. If you have seen this blog, not a lot have but we are working on that, you are winning money. Please tell your friends to read the blog, it is free money right now I am so hot. Hop on the bandwagon now before I charge y’all for these exceptional weeks.

We went 13-8 this week and for the year are 37- 29 that is 56%. That is a pretty damn good hit rate so far. I believe I can do better. The more you share and view the blog I guarantee you the picks keep getting better. Alright, enough pandering for views. We are here for picks, I have three of them so here we go!!

New York Yankees ML +132 @ Twins

Yes I know the Yanks lost for me yesterday and ruined my perfect Sunday. But this is a rule play, the Yanks with plus odds we always play them. The Twins are throwing their best pitcher and former Yankee Sonny Gray. It will be tough for the Yankees to get to Gray but if any lineup can it is this one. Also just because the pitching is good doesn’t mean I can go against a rule play. Hamer The Yanks.

Los Angeles Lakers ML -198 vs. Memphis

I know that Memphis’ mascot is the Grizzlies but Dillion Brooks poked the actual bear last game. You don’t call out the King when you aren’t even a squire. He done fucked up. Lebron and the Lakers came out last game and trashed Memphis. Brooks was thrown out for cheap shot, and overall the Lakers just out played Memphis. The Lakers seemed to be in the series but after the comments made it woke up a beast. The Lakers win tonight and end it five.

New York Rangers ML -156 vs. Devils

I told you what would happen exactly last game. Even though I bet my Rangers, I said it would be close and the Devils could win. After the game 3 my PTSD of loving the Rangers, Mets & Jets go the best of me on twitter. I started saying the series is over, the Devils will win, here we go again. Sorry, I was wrong! FUCK THE DEVILS. LETS GO RANGERS. SHUT THAT TRASH TEAM WITH TRASH FANS UP TONIGHT. We will not go 0-5 in the power play tonight. The boys will come out ready to fucking go. I am saying definitely a goal from the kids line, Kaner, and Fox from up top. LETS FUCKING GO! ONE GAME, ONE PERIOD, ONE SHIFT. NO QUIT!

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: Louisville

April 24, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The Cards had an average year last year with a 4-4 conference record and an overall of 8-5. The defense was just outside the top ten in points allowed per game, only allowing an average of 19.2 points. The defense was the only bright side of the team which struggled on special teams, and the offense was in the bottom third  of all college football.  I can’t say factually, but the team seemed to have known that Satterfield was on his way out.  The effort was on a different level when interim coach Deion Branch took over for the Fenway Bowl where they dominated the whole game. The Cards loved playing for Branch and the talent was there. They just needed a leader. 

Head Coach:

The Cards have Jeff Brohm coming in as their head coach this year. Brohm comes over from Purdue where he had moderate success at the lower tiered Big 10 school. The offense at Purdue was very improved when Brohm took over, as he was a former QB. The issue he had at Purdue was acquiring and recruiting top tier talent. I personally think he will get much higher ranked recruits to play in his great system. If he can make Aidan O’Connell and Charlie Jones household names and All-Americans, I can’t wait to see what he does at Louisville.

Key Players:

Coach Brohm brought one of his guys over from Purdue in QB Jack Plummer. While Plummer started at Cal last season he completed 62.5 % of his throws for 3,095 yard with 21 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He knows Brohm’s offense from Purdue when he started 13 games and played in 17 under Brohm. His numbers were good at 64.8% completion, 3,405 yards with 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He was in the system for 4 years; he knows all the ins and outs. The offense last year depended a lot on Malik Cunningham’s legs. This year it will be Plummer throwing to Jamari Trash, Jadon Thompson and Amari Huggins-Bruce.

2023 Prediction:

First off, they don’t have a nice little image of their schedule. So that’s bullshit. I think a goal for the Cards this year should be 8 wins and if they get to 9, it will be a great year. The Non-Conference isn’t that difficult with games against Murray State, Indiana, and of course the other team from the same state. They should win all of those games and 5 or 6 in conference will be a great year for the first year under Brohm.

Put These On The Card 4/23

April 23, 2023 /

You know what sucks about yesterday’s “put these on the card” picks. We did go 2-1 and won money, that is great. But the one game we lost of course is my Rangers in a playoff game at home. I said in the blog yesterday it was going to be close but I really thought they would pull it off, Fuck Me, it is a series now.

Even with the sadness of my team losing yesterday we won money. And for the week we are 11-7, absolutely killing it this week. No changes in the approach today just giving out 3 winners from the 3 big sports and ending the week the right way!

Boston Celtics ML -255 @ Hawks

This is a must win game for the Celtics to close out Atlanta. The Sixers closed the Nets out yesterday and Boston must do the same today. The reason being they do not want Philly having more rest going into, what I believe will be the hardest series in the playoffs. Any advantage in this series even an extra 3 days of rest will give the other side a huge leg up. Boston knows this and will handle their business today. Hammer the Celtics.

New York Yankees ML +112 vs. Toronto

The rubber game of this matchup today will come down to pitching and timely hitting. Well duh that is what every baseball game comes down too. This will be a tie game late and it will come down to bullpen pitching and clutch hitting I should say. I like the Yanks to win this game late because that is what they do. And any time I can get them plus money I am taking the Yanks.

Boston Bruins ML -156 @ Panthers

Unlike my Rangers last night, the Bruins will bury a team when they are down. That is what great hockey teams do in the playoffs. When they have the advantage they go in for the kill. Good teams know to not let teams hang around. The Bruins will win the game easy today and go back to Boston for the Gentlemen’s sweep. Hammer the City of Boston today minus the baseball team.
