Jason Logan


First joining the Covers Team as a shift-working content editor right before Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005, Jason Logan (or JLo as he's affectionately known around the office) has earned his place as one of the most insightful and entertaining personalities in sports betting. His NFL Underdogs column is a staple of football bettors and he's been bringing sports betting joy to the masses with his weekly TV segments, podcasts, and unique views on the daily betting odds.

Andrew Caley


Andrew has been helping you handicap MLB and college football odds since joining the Covers team in 2013. He’s always looking for the best betting angles on the baseball diamond – like banging the deGrom Gong – and delivers his three favorite NCAA football picks each week in his Triple Option column. He’s also a co-host of Covers’ Prop Shop podcast, serving up delicious prop picks for hungry NFL bettors.

Rohit Ponnaiya


Whether it's Oscar odds, political futures, or fringe sports like the CFL, rugby, and cricket, you'll find Rohit. He's not only helping you find the best bets for the most popular sports but opening bettors up to new and exciting markets with his unique insight, analysis, and helpful how-to content. Rohit is also a part of Covers' Prop Shop podcast crew, picking the best player and team props each week of the NFL season.

Brandon DuBreuil


Brandon was betting long before he joined the Covers Team as a writer in 2018, eventually coming aboard full time as a content manager. He's a global fan of sports, from NHL and NFL to overseas action on F1 racing (more on that below) and international baseball, even serving as a play-by-play commentator for WBSC Premier12 tournaments.

Monique Vág


From NBA props to horse racing and even eSports odds, Monique has been providing the Covers audience with her best bets and analysis since 2013. A race commentator at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Toronto, Monique doesn't just limit herself to the ponies and is always eager to break down her favorite plays for the day's biggest games.

Josh Inglis


If there's value hiding in a prop market or derivative line, Josh is going to find it. He's a specialist at looking beyond the betting basics like spreads and totals and breaking down those secondary odds offerings, covering the NFL and NHL for Covers with insightful articles and always-entertaining video clips. And he's been known to dabble in early-morning international soccer odds from time to time (if the coffee is on).

Eric Smith


Eric Smith started covering motorsports for Bleacher Report in 2011 and moved to help start a new racing website a few years later (2013) that’s taken off from there. Eric is a fully credentialed member of the racing media that has been featured in a number of publications over the years, including BBC Radio overseas. Eric joined Covers in 2019 as an Auto Racing Advisor and provides analysis of how to bet (and who to bet) on the racing scene.

Rob Hansen


"Mookie" is a Covers veteran who joined the team way back in 2003. He's worn almost every hat in the company over the years (Marketing, Product, Operations, etc.) but he's really found a home as a key member of the Editorial team. He does some occasional writing, but spends most of his time doling out assignments and keeping the team focused.

Jared Hochman


Before Jared Hochman joined the Covers team in 2020 as a Senior Publishing Editor, he worked as a freelance sports writer but has now truly honed in on the world of sports betting. "Hoch" focuses on the NHL, MLB, NFL, and NBA but won't hesitate to sprinkle a shekel or two on soccer, WNBA, golf, and tennis.

AJ Salah


AJ is a relative rookie, joining the Covers Team in 2020 as a publishing editor. A lifelong hoops-head and avid poker player, AJ had the right mix of hardwood intel and gambling acumen, and it wasn't long before he also became a fixture in Covers' rotation of NBA writers.

DB and Pat have been breaking down every major golf event around the world ever since with unrivaled inside knowledge of the courses, key stats, trends, and caddie intel. The boys dish out their favorite outright bets, top 20s, head-to-head matchups, and props each week, but they do it while making every effort to be entertaining in their delivery.

Chris Gregory

Jason Wilson


Born in New Brunswick, I've bounced all over from Halifax to Toronto to Beijing and various points in between. In addition to sports (obviously), my primary interests are movies (The Long Goodbye #1), books (Catch-22, Don Quixote, The World According to Garp), music (mostly rock, but a little bit of everything), and food & travel (these two are inextricably linked in my mind). Top 3 trips: Vietnam, Copenhagen, Madrid.

Chris Hatfield


Chris has always had an affinity for two things: sports and solving puzzles. So naturally, sports betting became a passion. He gravitated to the use of analytics in college sports — then eventually all sports — and figured out how to use those to his advantage. As an EV+ bettor, he values the valuable insight gained in being data-driven, not number-driven. His work has been featured in various websites such as SBNation and 247sports.
