It's not too late for a winning record!
Coming off my worst picks, last week’s games went a bit better. Hey one fewer loss is improvement! Last week’s selections went 7-9, bringing the season-long total to 65-72-4. Feels like the picks should get better as the season goes along but that hasn’t been the case at all. But these picks didn’t start with [...]
Here it is, 7:45 Eastern on Thursday and it's time to make a pick. It's hard to muster enthusiasm, with the picks being lousy for a month now. But soldier on we must! Tennessee (+14) over Dallas - In this five=game losing streak, the Titans would lose getting 14 points just once, when they played [...]
Last week was the worst one yet, as the picks went just 6-10 against the spread. It was a great week for the underdogs and my picks loaded up on the favorites. In all, eight of my picks for the favorites didn’t cover. Ouch. That brings the season record to 58-63-4. In an effort to [...]
It's 7:48 Eastern time and the Jets game starts at 8:15 New York (-2.5) over Jacksonville - These are two teams going in opposite directions, with the Jets having lost three of their last four and the Jaguars winning three times in their last four. But the Jaguars still have road issues and the Jets [...]
For the first time this season, the picks here ended up in the red in back-to-back weeks. Last time out, the record was 5-8, bringing the season-long record to 52-53-4. There’s a reason Vegas stays in business year after year after year. But we’ll press on, hoping to avoid another losing week. All odds from [...]
Before last week’s picks, there was complaining about the previous week being a sister kisser. Well, a 6-9 week will make you long for the days of making out with a relative. That brings my season-long record to 47-45-4. Time to get back into the black this week. All odds are from yahoo!sportsbook, with home [...]
My picks went 8-8 last week, bringing the season ledger to 41-36-4. Time to brush off the sister-kisser and get back to a winning week. Off to a good start with the Thursday night win. Let’s keep the train moving forward. All odds from yahoo!sportsbook with the home team in bold. This is for entertainment [...]
Want to pick tonight’s game but because I didn’t write this earlier, this week’s column will have to be in two parts. So, here at 7:43 p.m. Eastern, this will contain the Thursday pick and then this same space will be updated before Sunday with the rest of the games. Buffalo (-3.5) over New England [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! There are three Thursday games to watch today while gouging on turkey so enjoy one of the best days of the year. My picks went 7-5-2 last week, bringing my season total to 33-28-4. Last week’s picks were made in time for the Thursday night game and that was a win. However, my [...]
My picks went 7-6 last week, bringing my year-long record to 26-23-2. The crazy thing is that the picks for the traditional 1:00 and 4:00 Sunday games are solid and the picks for night games have been dismal. Last week, the column was posted in time to pick the overseas game. That one was a [...]
It was a sister-kisser week, as my picks went 5-5-2, bringing my season ledger to 19-17-2, with best bets going 3-3. The highlight of the week was getting a night game right for the first time, as the Ravens pounded the Saints on Monday night. With that little jinx out of the way, it’s time [...]
