Sean Murphy’s handicapping success is renowned, and his winning advice has been featured on TV and radio shows across North America.
Active since: 2003
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Sean Murphy made his professional debut as lead handicapper for Pat Miller Sports in 2003, continuing on with The Miller Group from 2006 through 2009. Sean broke away to found his own sports service in September 2009 and has now delivered 12 of 17 winning NFL seasons. Sean’s also cashed big in NCAA Football, as he’s won each of the last 3 seasons, recording 55% of his overall bets. A key factor in Sean’s success is his knack for Over/Unders, which is no surprise given Sean’s reputation as a ‘numbers guru.’ Indeed, Sean’s knack for handling numbers is deep-rooted. He owns a business degree, with a major in finance, and is a member of the prestigious Beta Gamma Sigma honor society for business students and scholars.
Although Sean took a circuitous route to become a professional handicapper, sports betting has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. In fact, he still fondly recalls his first successful venture into sports betting – a winning three-game NFL ‘Pro-Line’ parlay (offered by the Canadian lottery) when he was just 12 years old. Sean — along with the rest of his 7th grade class — was hooked. His passion for sports is unmatched. The phrase “find something you love to do and you’ll never ‘work’ a day in your life” is Murph's mantra. Sean's love for numbers, combined with his passion for sports, makes a career in sports handicapping the perfect fit.
After building The Miller Group from the ground up, and turning it into one of America’s most respected handicapping services, Sean has continued to prosper as an independent, thanks to an honest approach and strong belief in delivering value to the customer. Sean’s selections are based on his extensive knowledge of the game, and his approach is both situational and statistical. He prides himself on going against the majority and thinking outside the box, and his unique analysis keeps his clients coming back. When you purchase one of Sean’s selections, you can always count on insightful and expert information to back it up. Sean rates all of his plays from 8* to 10* with free plays qualifying as 8* releases, and the majority of his selections warranting a 10* designation. As you would expect, the higher the rating, the stronger the play.

BYU vs Utah
BYU vs Utah Over 49.5 (-105) (DraftKings)
My selection is on the 'over' between BYU and Utah at 12 noon et on Saturday. While it's not Army-Navy by any means, you would have to go back five meetings, all the way to 2018, to find the last time the Cougars and Utes topped the total we're working with on Saturday. With that being said, I l...
My selection is on the 'over' between BYU and Utah at 12 noon et on Saturday. While it's not Army-Navy by any means, you would have to go back five meetings, all the way to 2018, to find the last time the Cougars and Utes topped the total we're working with on Saturday. With that being said, I look for this total to prove too low. BYU didn't have to be great offensively last week as it held off Arizona State 27-20 at home (and we won with the 'under'). While it certainly looks like the Cougars offense is trending in the wrong direction right now, I believe it can find success against a vulnerable Utah defense. The Utes are trending in the wrong direction defensively. They've allowed 6.7, 7.2, 5.6 and 7.4 yards per play over their last four games after holding their first four opponents to 4.3 ypp or less this season. The good news for Utah is, its offense continues to hum along. The Utes have reached 7.0 ypp or more in five of eight games this season. I think the conditions are ripe for a back-and-forth affair in Salt Lake City on Saturday. Take the over (8*).NHL - Puck Line - Sat, Nov 07 @ 10:07 PM
Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Oilers -1.5 (-140) (Consensus Line)
My selection is on Edmonton -1.5 goals over Vancouver at 10:05 pm et on Saturday. It's been a tough week for the Oilers as they dropped a 4-3 shootout decision on the road against New Jersey before falling 5-4 at home against surging Anaheim on Thursday. I look for Edmonton to bounce back on Sat...
My selection is on Edmonton -1.5 goals over Vancouver at 10:05 pm et on Saturday. It's been a tough week for the Oilers as they dropped a 4-3 shootout decision on the road against New Jersey before falling 5-4 at home against surging Anaheim on Thursday. I look for Edmonton to bounce back on Saturday as it hosts the lowly Canucks. Vancouver has lost four straight games and things only seem to be getting worse as they were handed a 6-2 loss in Winnipeg on Thursday. You'd be hard-pressed to find a worse team than Vancouver right now which is pretty much what was expected for this rebuilding franchise. You may remember the Canucks did give the Oilers all they could handle in a home-and-home set to open the season, even stealing a 6-5 overtime victory here in Edmonton. I don't expect this one to be nearly as close as the Oilers take out their recent frustrations. Take Edmonton -1.5 goals (8*).NCAAF - Point Spread - Sat, Nov 07
