Jim Feist College Football Game of the Year 2008
Some have asked about Jim Feist’s 2008 College Football Game of the Year. Cy McCormick of the pro bettor site MasterLockLine.com says the Feist release is demonstrative of what the power of 620 sports services behind every selection is about.
Feist is currently ranked the 77th best college football handicapper in the country and 83rd overall. Based on his long-term record, we cannot in good conscience say it rises to the level of being good enough to be released on the MasterLockLine.com menu for Saturday, which has several Game of the Year level plays, but from handicappers who win.
The best marked plays are not the ones released on the MasterLockLine, an OffshoreInsiders.com. Only the picks most likely to win from the top handicappers in their top sports make it.
