Utkal or Utz is a contributor for FanSided's Chowder and Champions and a senior writer for Clipperholics. He covers the NBA, NFL, and MLB, focusing on trades, team dynamics, sharp predictions, and betting insights, blending advanced analytics with instinct to deliver entertaining, knowledgeable content. He's a trade-machine connoisseur who stays in the lab and picks games against the spread. His defensive scheme? Simple: safety blitz or dropping into Cover 3 with a blanket safety over the top. A lifelong Boston sports fan, Utkal brings a research-driven perspective rooted in his neuroscience background from the University of Illinois. Outside of writing, he enjoys working out, debating, hooping, reading, listening to podcasts, playing chess, and building businesses/brands.
