A professional handicapper at Team Stryker Sports since 1984, Tom Stryker offers you 25 years of experience. Tom is known for his strong work ethic and his commitment to delivering the best analysis available.
With regards to style, Stryker likes to use the perfect blend of two decades of experience as well as emotional, statistical, and technical support to back up his selections. Back in the early 90's, Tom helped assemble one of the most powerful football and basketball databases in the nation. This incredible piece of software holds over 100 profitable situations with ATS records topping 90 percent.
Located in the Midwest just a few miles from the University of Notre Dame, Stryker is tuned into the Irish as well as the Big Ten and MAC Conferences. College Football, Major League Baseball as well as the NBA and NFL playoffs are considered his strengths. But keep in mind a profitable run can happen at any time in any sport when Stryker gets into one of his capping zones.
In 2000, Tom reached the ultimate peak when he bested over 100 other professional handicappers, and finished the season ranked No. 1 in college football (28-13 for 68.3% record) as monitored by the Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
In 2001, Tom incredibly repeated that feat by finishing No. 1 in college football with a solid 24-15 for 61.5% mark! To date, Stryker is the only handicapper to win back-to-back college football handicapping titles as documented by the Sports Monitor.
Since going pro, Tom has recorded numerous other Top 10 finishes.
If you’re wondering what Tom has done for you lately, the answer is plenty! Over the past 16 months, Stryker enjoyed a profitable run in a number of sports.
’08 Major League Baseball – Currently Ranked No. 12 - $12,054 Net Profit
’07 NFL Pre-Season – Ranked No. 5 – 8-3 for 72.7 percent
’07 College Football – Ranked No. 14 – 32-22 for 59.3 percent (10-4 on Top Plays)
’07-’08 College Basketball – Ranked No. 12 – 72-51 for 58.1 percent
’07 March Madness – Ranked No. 3 – 23-10 for 69.7 percent
Tom is also the editor and publisher of the Pre-Game Report - one of the best football newsletters in the industry!
Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest football coaches ever, once said, “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.” When you do business with Tom Stryker you can expect three things: experience, professionalism and effort.

Yes, I realize that Minnesota is playing with revenge. But, I'm not going to bite. Down the stretch last season, the Vikings were one of the NFL's worst road teams (lost four straight and five of their last six) and I don't think they have the offensive tools on board (especially with WR Sidney Rice out with a hip) to trade points with the Saints on Thursday night.
Since a road loss at Atlanta back on November 9th, 2008, New Orleans has been a pointspread machine posting a reliable 16-9-1 ATS record in its last 26 games. A great deal of that profit has come when the Saints have faced a non-division foe - now 15-2 SU and 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 tries. Don't forget, there is a strong league trend that supports New Orleans here as well. NFL Favorites on Thursday have been money-in-the-bank too posting a stunning 33-7 SU and 30-9-1 ATS record including 17-4 ATS in this sweet set laying -4 or more!
As an underdog, the Vikes have struggled a touch notching a soft 12-28 SU and 15-23-2 ATS mark including a miserable 8-19 SU and 9-17-1 ATS in this role matched up against a non-division opponent. Tie that up with the Purple's 7-14-1 ATS record in road openers and you have more than enough technical information to make this investment. Take New Orleans minus the points. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Off a difficult home win over Villanova and with Connecticut and Penn State on deck, Temple needs to take care of business inside Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night. Finding motivation for this contest won't be difficult. Two years ago, Central Michigan slipped past Temple 24-14 at Kelly Shorts Stadium and it was a game that the Chippewas should have never won. The Owls came out on top in the yardage battle 301-297 but fell victim to four turnovers!
Since suffering a 7-3 home loss to Western Michigan back on September 27th, 2008, Temple has quietly ripped off seven consecutive conference wins in its own backyard. The Owls have put up a ton of points too in those victories averaging 34.0 points per game!
Considering CMU has won 18 straight games against foes from the MAC East Division, this won't exactly be a walk-in-the-park for Temple. Fortunately, this Chippewas team isn't as strong as the ones the Owls faced in 2008 or 2006. Five sophomores made their first start last week against Hampton including quarterback Ryan Radcliff. This will be QB Radcliff's first road start and it's coming against the best defensive team in the MAC. Oh yeah, and it's on an NFL field with a national ESPNU audience watching!
Central's defense pitched a shutout last week and that fact could have plenty of novice handicappers jumping all over the Chippewas plus the points here. Not so fast my friend. Since 1980, game two college road dogs priced at +7 or more are a woeful 1-21 SU and 6-15-1 ATS provided they enter off a shutout home win in their season opener. There are four visitors locked into this situation this weekend: Idaho, Miami Florida, Buffalo and Central Michigan!
In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. CMU has been a MAC beast over the years and this is the Owls chance to take over that "king of the mountain" spot. Take Temple minus the points. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Loss |

Click Here to View Play Analysis
St. Louis has no margin for error right now. The Cardinals trail the Red by six games in the division standings with 26 left to play and each victory is essential. Last night, the Brew Crew got the best of the Redbirds 4-2. Tonight, manager Tony LaRussa's troops will bounce back and take care of business.
On the bump for St. Louis will be rookie phenom Jamie Garcia. The southpaw has been money for the Cardinals in his last four starts allowing two earned runs and 22 hits in 27.0 innings of work! That's good enough for a 3-1 record and a tremendous 0.67 ERA! Garcia's efforts on foreign soil have been solid this season too. With 71.1 road innings in the bank, No. 54 has been touched for 25 earned runs and 68 hits. That shakes down to a respectable 7-3 record and a nifty 3.15 ERA!
Finding motivation for this contest won't be difficult for Jamie. The one blemish in his last four trips to the hill came back on August 17th at home against Milwaukee. Garcia never allowed an earned run in that start but the Brew Crew found a way to score three times and pick up the 3-2 victory.
Filling in for Manny Parra in the Milwaukee rotation will be lefty Chris Capuano. In his last two starts against Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Capuano was clocked for seven earned runs and 10 hits in only 8.0 frames. That adds up to a dismal 0-1 mark and a lofty 7.88 ERA! Chris has struggled a touch against the Cards too sporting a 4-5 record and an elevated 5.59 lifetime ERA!
With No. 39 on the mound, the Brew Crew has dropped 20 of his last 26 starts including nine of his last 10 at Miller Park. The Redbirds need to close hard and pick up wins against teams like Milwaukee in order to have a shot at catching Cincinnati. Take St. Louis with listed pitcher Garcia. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

There are an awful lot of people lining up on Virginia Tech tonight. When the line opened on this game, Boise State was favored by -2.5 points. Currently, the Hokies find themselves a -1 point favorite. They don't build monster hotels in Las Vegas because the public has a history of being correct and I'm not about to follow the crowd in this one.
The Broncos have been one of the best pointspread teams in football posting a reliable 85-46-1 ATS record in their last 132 games. As an underdog or pick in this role, BSU had done well too notching a stellar 18-6 ATS mark.
It was an attractive investment to take Virginia Tech when the Hokies were shagging points here. Since 1980, Tech is a profitable 63-38 ATS as a pooch. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to lay points with Frank Beamer's troops. As chalk in a season lid-lifter, the Hokies are a dismal 5-9 ATS in their last 14 tries.
Tech's defense will certainly provide the Broncos with a tremendous challenge. But, the key to this contest may be BSU's defense against VT's offense. State returns 10 starters from a unit that allowed just 17.1 points and 300.2 yards per game and this unit will be much stronger than it was last season.
You've all heard the phrases "defense wins championships" and "defense wins big games". Don't be surprised when it's BSU's stop unit that keys this important victory. Take Boise State. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

This is an important conference game for Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane returns nine starters on the offensive side of the ball and they’ll be looking to carve up a Pirates defense that returns only two starters from last year’s CUSA Championship team. Tulsa could be catching ECU at the right time too. Head coach Skip Holtz departed for South Florida at the end of last season and that means the Pirates will be without the man that led them to back-to-back conference titles.
Tulsa skipper Todd Graham will have an easy time keeping his kids focused for this one too. The Golden Hurricane got pounded at home by the Pirates last season 44-17 and lost a heartbreaker 27-24 inside H.A. Chapman Stadium in the 2008 CUSA Conference Championship game. In its last three road lid-lifters, Tulsa has played well knocking off Louisiana Monroe 35-17, UAB 45-22 and Tulane 37-13!
East Carolina has produced a profitable 12-4-1 ATS record in its last 17 games priced as a home underdog. Fortunately for us, that mark was created with Holtz on the sidelines and plenty of talent in the cupboard. The Pirates don’t have either. Technically speaking since 1982, game one home underdogs priced at +7 or more are a soft 76-101-2 ATS! If our host won five games or more last season, this situation crashes to a stiff 22-35-2 ATS and is currently on a woeful 9-17-1 ATS run since the 1998 season. East Carolina applies to this tightener.
New Pirates head coach Ruffin McNeill will have his hands full trying to contain this high-octane Golden Hurricane offense. Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne passed for 2,732 yards and 22 touchdowns last season and he’ll throw all over an ECU “D” that will be replacing their entire front seven from a year ago. Take Tulsa! Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Tom Stryker's NFL Week One Money-Making Situations |
|
Sep 7, 2010 |
The first week of the NFL can be a difficult one to handicap. Success or failure in the Pre-Season doesn’t always translate into regular season wins and losses. Free agency does a number on team chemistry too. Yesterday’s talent isn’t always the same as todays and there could be growing pains on either side of the ball when a bunch of new personnel is shuffled in or out.
