Rob has contributed to various sports media outlets since 2018, including FanSided and Pro Football Network, but Covers is the first site he’s worked at that is dedicated solely to the sports betting industry. Before working in sports media full-time, he spent five years as a local community journalist after attending Durham College for journalism and Wilfrid Laurier University for history. He’s long been involved in sports in one way or another, previously hosting a podcast focused on the NFL draft and college football. Working as a freelance podcast producer, Rob has appeared on numerous sports podcasts and college football shows. He's also been a guest on SportsTalk Mississippi, discussing the NFL draft. One of his favorite things about the sports betting industry is the way it helps shine a light on sports that get less coverage. He’s a diehard player prop bettor who always recommends using stats and analytics to identify the best players to back before placing a bet.

Weeknights in November mean #MACtion football, and anything can happen in the MAC. After Central Michigan takes a 14-0 lead over Western Michigan in 2020, I’m convinced I’m a fool for taking the Broncos moneyline. They then score 38 straight points to give me a false sense of security. It was a back and forth scoring affair in the second half with CMU cutting the lead to eight with two minutes to go. I’ve never been more sure a team would recover the onside kick... they didn’t, WMU won, and my slip cashed.

I fancy myself an NFL draftnik, but boy I couldn’t have been sillier thinking the NFL’s addiction to quarterbacks would ensure that Over 1.5 would go in 2022. Pretty much every year at least two quarterbacks go in the first round, even Christian Ponder and Jake Locker did! So, knowing my Pittsburgh Steelers would take one, I was convinced someone would bite the bullet and take another. When the Vikings were on the clock with the 32nd pick, I knew it had to be happening… I started celebrating. Then Roger Goodell announced Georgia safety Lewis Cine and my heart dropped.
