Who is the best NFL handicapper in the world?
With Super Bowl LVI fast approaching, the question many sports bettors are asking is “who is the best NFL handicapper in the world”?
Some will say that two time Hilton Super Contest winner Steve Fezzik is the greatest NFL handicapper of all time, but the numbers say otherwise. While Fezzik has established himself as a legendary tournament player, by his own admission he isn’t nearly as sharp when it comes to day to day NFL handicapping.
The Internet is full of professional touts claiming to be the “World’s Best”, “#1 of All Time”, or various other superlatives that in most cases can’t be proven, and are not supported by any documented records.
Here at Capperreviews we are only interested in the cold hard facts. We have taken a look at the numbers, and over the last calendar year nobody has won at a higher percentage than Rocky “Rocketman” Atkinson.

Quality over Quantity
Rocky has a philosophy of quality over quantity, and his selective approach has paid dividends to the tune of a 68% win rate and a 30% return on investment in 2021. While that answers the question: “what have you done for me lately?”, he’s a seasoned veteran with dozens of Top 5 finishes with major pro sports over the last decade.
We could make a case for a number of handicappers on our site, but the numbers say that nobody was more dialed in on the gridiron than Rocky Atkinson in 2021. If you’re looking for help with your NFL bets, you will be in good hands with The Rocketman.

Nico Iamaleava's dispute with Tennessee over money resulted in him leaving the team to accept far less money at UCLA. When you consider the higher taxes in California, you really have to question the decision making of the Bruins new quarterback.

The Bears will be a home underdog versus Auburn in Week 1, despite the fact that the Tigers are coming off a 5-7 season. A few costly turnovers and bad bounces were likely the difference between 5-7 and a winning record and a bowl game for Auburn last year.

The last time Alabama played Florida State it was 2017, and Jalen Hurts was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide. The game was in Atlanta, and it wasn't particularly close. The Seminoles were shutout in the second half in a 24-7 loss.

Colorado came into the 2024 season with a season win total of 5. It's fair to say that Deion Sanders exceeded all expectations with this team in just his second year in Boulder. It didn't start out that well with poor offensive line play a lingering issue from the previous…
