he used to be good but has really fell off the last year or two for sure i mean he called 5* game yesterday on ariz st which i already liked anyways and well what happens QB for Ariz st cant even keep his footing welp i wouldve bet w/o phils play regardless he will still tell you when he sucks it up though
Northcoast is a good service. I won an absolute ton of money going with them in 1999,2000, and 2001. But I lost all of it back last year because I thought they were invincible. Had I stuck with the original units as i played in 99, I would still be up a solid amount.

Honest and informational from my perspective. others have different thoughts. Steele is a marketing genius.
They have one set of late phones and they tell it like it is win or lose, but he usually whines when he losses a game about how it should have won.
In additional, they have a newsletter and 900 plays so he basically ends up with plays on maybe half of any given card. When you do this there is always something good to talk about. His college are under 500 this year but he had a great preseason...so he adds them together when he talks about it and it looks better.
They also run the Community Line phones, which are supposedly independent from Steele, but some would say otherwise. For instance Mike Lee is on His Community Line. Yesterday he had his top play on Texas Tech and Steele had his number two play on NC State. Some might say he gave out both sides of the play.
Just remember marketing genius. Like any information you gather take it with a grain a salt and add it to all of the other info. Never follow blind.
Hope this is of some help. If you want any advice I would follow just his top late phone for college and pro each week - you will be ahead if you are consistent. And yes, I know he got his ass kicked with ASU yesterday.
Best of luck.

Lot's of misinformation on this site about Northcoast. I've been following them for over 5 years. Contrary to what I've read on this site they do only release one set of late phone plays and they are monitored by the only two respectable sports gambling monitors in the country (Sportswatch and The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City) They put out a great newsletter, with loads of information BUT the last two years Phil Steele has taken a crap with his college late phones. He was well under 50% last year in colleges and I think he made a small profit in the pros. Usually his top play in both colleges and pros is solid but the rest of the plays are suspect. He also seems to be stuck on teams he feels are underated and continues to play them again and again. Often losing with them (he lost 4 or 5 times with Nebraska last year and once this year).
I've been a Power Sweep (his newletter) subscriber for over 10 years so I feel I'm fairly well versed with Northcoast. The newsletter is great but I learned that one should NEVER pay for picks, no matter how good these people claim their records are. The weird thing about Northcoast is that they do better on their free picks and their lesser picks than on their top rated plays. He routinely will win his comp plays and his monday night plays but lose his late phone plays. Which I think just goes to show that one shouldn't "rate" plays. If you like a game play it, and play them all the same amount. Isn't it hard enough to come up with a winner without also having to rank your plays? Just my 2 cents.
I have mixed feelings myself....He is solid, and I think his honesty about losing as well as winning, gets him a lot fans (including myself). But the marketing angle is there, and how can you blame him. There is a lot of "This play is now hitting 67% over the past 4 years". Well, what about the year before that....why is that not included...probably because he had a losing year that year and and it would skew his overall average. Again, he is still solid and honest in an industry where that is highly unusual. Honestly, compared to other good services, he stands out during the NFL pre-season and is usually middle of the pack in college and pro regular season...but profitable nontheless. Just my two cents.
