SUN HANDICAPPER TOPS IN NATION

ing to NFL Pickwatch (nflpickwatch.com).

Keefer went 148-111-7 against the spread in selecting every NFL game, regular season and playoffs. That’s better than those making picks for the likes of The Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, Yahoo Sports and others.

He breaks the column into three categories — plays, leans and guesses. Keefer’s plays went 36-17 this year, meaning if a reader wagered $100 on every game, he would have turned a profit of $1,730.

And this wasn’t a one-year wonder. Keefer’s four-year record since he began picking every game is a respectable 550493-24, or 53 percent.

“Case takes great pride in doing research for his weekly columns,” said Ray Brewer, the Sun’s managing editor. “His record is a testament to his dedication to our readers and to his craft. The Sun is proud to provide our audience with the nation’s best betting analyst in mainstream media.”

Keefer also was formidable in selecting college games. He went 131-114-5 in handicapping the most significant games of the week, including 25-14-1 in bowl games. Keefer ended the college season by successfully picking the final seven games.

His accuracy in the college football postseason also wasn’t limited to this season. Keefer is 168-129-5 (.565) in eight years of picking every bowl game.

If you missed out, don’t worry. His picks return in March for the NCA A Tournament.
