This weekend I went 2-1 in both college and pro football. That puts me at 5-3-1 in NCAA picks and 6-2-1 in NFL Picks for a total of 11-5-2. I still need to go undefeated in at least one of the two for a weekend, preferably both. The mistake I made this week is that [...]

I’m in a bit of a hurry today so I won’t be able to go into these games in depth but I do like the games I picked. Last week I went 2-1 and this week is a tough week. I didn’t include the Rams or Chiefs this week because I have a strange feeling bout those [...]

Last week I went 2-1. This week should have been called SEC picks because these are the only games I like. Let’s face it, SEC football is the best football.
Tennessee @ (9) Auburn (-6.5)
ATS: UT 0-3, Auburn 1-3
Home: Auburn 2-1, Away: Vols 0-1
Pick: Auburn
Both teams are coming off losses. Auburn has won the last three [...]

The Mighty Man United
It’s still early so I’m not totally into the Premier League but I checked the standings today and was shocked to see Manchester United in 15th place. What’s going on? Sure, they have a game in hand and could, theoretically, be 7th after that game but come on. I know it’s still [...]

This weekend I went 2-1 in my NCAA picks and 2-1 in my NFL picks. That puts me at 3-2-1 overall in NCAA and 4-1-1 in NFL for a combined 7-3-2. Not too shabby but I need to tighten up my picks to get that percentage up.
NCAA:
Florida (-7.5) beat Tennessee 30-6 (W). Even with Tim Tebow [...]

Last week I went 2-0-1. I think the spreads are trickier this week. Here’s what I got.
St. Louis @ Seattle (-9.5)
ATS: STL 0-2, Seattle 0-2
Home: Seattle 0-1, Away: STL 0-1
Both teams are 0-2 but Seattle is clearly better than St. Louis. The Rams may just be the worst team in the NFL. I bet against St. [...]

Last week I went 1-1-1. I’ve studied and here are my three NCAA picks of the week. I don’t care what you do with them.
(6) LSU @ (9) Auburn (+2)
ATS: LSU 0-1, Auburn 1-2
Home: Auburn 2-0, Away: LSU 0-0
Pick: LSU
LSU beat up on Appalachian State 41-13 and North Texas 41-3 so this should be there first [...]

How many people are digging The Brian Kendrick? I think this gimmick is gold. I’m happy to see that a smaller guy is getting a main event push, even though he’ll probably go back to being a mid carder as soon as this push is over.
Kendrick and London were on fire when they were on [...]

First let me say that I’m a Cleveland Browns fan and I went to Eastern Michigan so I have two reasons to hate Ben Roethlisberger and, believe me, I hate the guy. At least I admit I have a bias against him so take this post however you want.
What he did Sunday night after the [...]

Victoria
Why is WWE turning Victoria into a jobber? She is probably the second best female wrestler (Beth Phoenix) in the company and week after week she’s made to look bad and jobs to lesser talent.
Last week on Smackdown she was dominated by no talent Maria before being pinned by Brie Bella. No way Maria is even [...]
