After a horrible Saturday last week I hope to redeem myself this week. I’m not going to go deep into my picks because I obviously didn’t know what I was talking about last week. Here are my picks, no need to explain.
Tennessee @ Vanderbilt (-3)
ATS: Volunteers 3-7, Commodores 7-3
Home: Vandy 3-2, Away: Tennessee 0-4
Pick: Vandy
Tennessee [...]

A terrible week in college picks and a bit of a turnaround in the pros. My first 0-3 for the year came in my NCAA picks. I was able to go 2-1 in the NFL but still not a good weekend. NCAA 13-13-1, NFL 16-9-2. I’m looking forward to the end of the college season [...]

Last week for some strange reason I found myself watching The Oprah Winfrey Show. Before I even started watching the show I loathed her. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a whole episode in my life but I have been in front of the tv when she has been on. My sister loves the show [...]

Coming off a horrendous Saturday, I am still going to post my NFL picks but I think you should fade me, if you care. I should just post teasers but I don’t want to change things this late in the season.
Baltimore @ NY Giants (-7)
ATS: Ravens 7-2, Giants 7-2
Home: NYG 5-0, Away: Baltimore 3-2
Pick: Giants
The Giants [...]

There are not as many marquee games this week as there were last week but there are still plenty of games to wager on. In addition to these games, there are so many games you could tease. That’s up to you.
(23) S. Carolina @ (3) Florida (-21.5)
ATS: Gamecocks 5-3-1, Gators 7-2
Home: Florida 4-1, Away: S. [...]

It was an even week for me last weekend. I went 1-2 in my college picks and 2-1 in my pro picks. Even isn’t bad but what a waste to bet the weekend and be at zero. For the season, 13-10-1 NCAA and 14-8-2 NFL. Rice killed me last week. Not only did I lose [...]

I don’t know how many people still watch Around The Horn on ESPN but if you’re one of them, you should stop watching and start listening to Fighting Talk hosted by the very funny Colin Murray. Around The Horn came first but Fighting Talk is definitely the superior show. Sure, I enjoyed it when Max [...]

There are a few games with big spreads and I liked three of them. Three of the worst teams are on display in these games but I only like one of them to cover. Usually big numbers are scary but these games seem reasonable. I might also tease these down ten points and take the [...]

Tons of good games this week and it was hard narrowing it down to two. Tech and Oklahoma State is the game of the day (sorry Alabama-LSU). Can Texas rebound this week? What could possibly be my third game? Lets find out.
Baylor @ (7) Texas (-27.5)
ATS: Baylor 5-3, Texas 7-2
Home: Texas 5-0, Away: Baylor 0-3
Pick: [...]

Another up and down week. I was 2-1 with my NCAA picks but 1-2 with my NFL picks. For the season I’m 12-8-1 in college and 12-7-2 in the pros. Navy was supposed to be the lock of the week. So much for that. Quick tip, if someone says they have a lock, stay away. [...]
