I’d like to start by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving this weekend. We should all be blessed with an abundance of good friends, loving family, delicious foods, and ice cold beer. It’s just unfortunate that the NFL won’t be blessing us with an exciting line up of holiday pigskin. Does anyone else think we’re over due for deep frying the tradition of set teams monopolizing our holiday time

Well last week I said that anything less that double digits in the win column would be unacceptable, looks like I barely passed the mark on my straight picks as I finished the week 10-5-1. However I wasn’t so lucky with my picks against the spread, which finished below .500 at 7-9. Can you say ‘Ouch’? Well, no need to beat around the bush this week; let’s just get right to it. Season Stats:

Alright, seeing as how I’m already running late posting my picks this week, I’ll keep this intro short and save the typing for the game analysis. The quick recap of Week 10 shows nothing better than average for yet another week of picks as I finished both 9-5 in my straight picks and 9-5 against the spread. There are no longer any bye weeks left as we enter into Week 11, so at this point anything

While it was definitely an improvement from Week 8, Week 9 was nothing better than average. But what else should I have expected. I picked all the favorites and we all know the chances of all the favorites winning are extremely slim. With all that said my straight picks were 9-5 while my picks against the spread finished 8-6. So let’s just jump right in to Week 10. Season Stats: 75-55 / 75

Due to some time restraints on my part, I’m going to have to keep this introductions nice and short. My record last week was among the worst of them as my sure things became busts and my upsets were anything but. That said, I finished 6-8 on the straight picks and 5-8-1 against the spread. Improvement shouldn’t be a hard task this week after such a pitiful performance. Season Stats: 66-50 /

Another week has come and another week has gone. Fortunately, my picks improved, but unfortunately, my Broncos look as if they are self destructing week after week as they seem determined to give the ball away. But we must move on, and I’ll make this intro short and sweet. Last week my picks finished 11-3 straight up and 10-4 against the spread. This was the improvement I’ve been looking for

Wow! I saw a few people come out of last week with a winning pick record, but as for me…Wow! I tanked! Honestly, I’m shocked! The ‘Any Given Sunday’ rule applied, and we should probably expand that to include ‘Any Given Monday.’ So the Rams and Texans are no longer winless, and the Browns served up a can of Whoop Ass to the Giants. And when all was said and done, I finished the week with the

Last week proved to be another wild weekend on the gridiron. With Washington winning two tough division match ups in a row, Houston completely imploding at the end of the fourth quarter, Miami completing back-to-back upsets, Arizona knocking Buffalo from the ranks of the unbeaten in dominating fashion, Denver’s defense stifling an offense, and the Saints showering gifts upon the Vikings with two

Week 4 proved to be a week of excitement as the Chiefs upset the Broncos, the Redskins shocked the Cowboys, Favre threw of six touchdowns in a dominating victory, and someone in Ohio finally won a game. With all the excitement of upsets and big plays, wouldn’t you know it, I picked many of the wrong ones. Oh well. This finishes my Week 4 with a record of 8-5 on the straight wins and 9-4 against

Just when you think things can’t get any wilder in the NFL the down and out Dolphins display a stunning upset over the long undefeated regular season Patriots, the Jaguars edge out over the Colts, the Bills make a narrow escape against Oakland, Tampa barely manages to get out of Chicago alive, and the Chargers finally turn their luck around in a firework finale that lit up their home scoreboard.

Week 2 is now a week of football passed by and the only improvement seen in my straight up picks is one less loss. Of course, we had one less game as well. Finishing the week at 9-6 straight up and 8-6-1 ATS I’ve managed to increase my averages by a fraction of a hair to 18-13 (.580) and 14-16-1 (.452) ATS. What a wild week number two brought us! High scores, big games, and big controversies

With Week 1 complete, there is plenty to talk about. How will the Patriots fair without Brady? What happened to the Colts? Can the Bills be good this year? Will the Jaguars regroup their offense? Will the Packers continue to win without Favre? Will the Jets continue to win with Favre? All questions only a season can answer. As for my picks last week, I finished with a very weak 9-7 (.563) on

Alright, Football season is upon us once again and it’s time to start picking games. I hope everyone will forgive me. My schedule has become more hectic than ever and I simply don’t have the time to give the in-depth analysis that I’ve tried to give in the past. However, I couldn’t just give up this ongoing pick thread. So, I’ve decided to continue to make my picks, I’m just going to have to

Alright, for all of you returning to my site...thanks for the continuing support. For all those new to my site, Welcome!This year I won't be picking preseason match ups, but have no fear. I will be giving my position on the regular season games. Stay tuned and 'Let's Get Ready for some Football!!!!'

With the games just hours away, it would probably be a good idea for me to take the time to make my ATS picks. Finishing 2-2 last week, I can hardly hope to improve much as we are now down to only two games. Both games sporting spreads larger than a touchdown, the home teams are once again considered heavy favorites, but so were last weeks home teams who only accounted for 50% of the wins. So who

I couldn’t have been more pleased with a 2-0 start in last weeks match ups, but as upsets are becoming more of a rule in the NFL, my 0-2 finish left me 2-2 on the Divisional weekend. Can’t say that I’m disappointed, the San Diego upset over Indy was shocking, jaw-dropping, and down right exciting. The Giants win may not have been as big of a surprise, but it was still a game that was edge of your

It’s about that time of the week again to address the spread of our NFL playoff games and decide who will cover or who will beat that spread. In last weeks Wild Card Weekend I split my ATS picks by finishing 2-2. Even is better than losing, but winning is always better, so this week I am looking to improve those numbers to 4-0. Everybody ready? Here we go.-----------------------------------------

Last week was a bad week to be an even number. Whether you were AFC or NFC, it was the #4 and #6 seeds that were sent home. Two road teams won and two road teams lost. This week our well rested bye week teams will be receiving the challenge of the Wild Card survivors. Can any road teams prevail this week? Or will the NFL’s top seeds play their top games? Last week I found myself finishing with a

It’s time for the playoffs, and what better way to show it than to look over the spread. With the exception of one game this week, all the match ups are sitting on a three point spread, the typical number given to the home team when Vegas thinks the teams are evenly matched. It should be a great weekend for football. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2007 regular season is now a thing of the past, something to be referred back to and talked of in past tense, but the post season is fresh and new and at the top of topics to discussion and debate. Welcome to the 2008 post season battle field. Now it’s a fight between the best of the best for a chance at the covenanted title of World Champions and the fulfillment of the dream of the elusive

Can’t say that I’ve had a fabulous season picking the spread this year and Week 17 is hardly the week to feel confident about any sort of rebound, but what the heck, here we go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, December 29th, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have reached the wonders of week 17. Who starts, who sits? Will New England push for a pursuit of perfection, or will they aim to protect everyone from injury before the post season? What about the other teams who have nothing left to gain in Week 17? What will teams like Indy, Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle, or Jacksonville do? Play starters for one series, two, three, first quarter, or the half?

Once again, I have waited till the last moment to get my picks posted. With less than an hour to go before the Thursday Night Kickoff, I will once again make this short and sweet. Not that much explanation should be needed. That’s all given in my straight up picks. I’m a little nervous this week as I seem to be heavily picked on the favorites to make the spread. We’ll have to wait and see. ---

As the regular season nears an end, our playoff picture is just about complete. It’s these weeks that make picking a winner a little more difficult. Will certain teams bench their starters for the playoffs? Will the eliminated play the part of spoiler? Do the teams walking the line cement their post season slot or fall from it? And then there are the games that have no meaning one way or another,

Last week was a definite improvement from the week before, but I still can’t say that it was a great week finishing with a .500 record at 8-8. Time is short, the season is drawing to an end, and it’s about time I got my 16-0 week. Here they are, Week 15’s picks against the spread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday,

Not wanting to beat around the bush this week, I’m going to just get right to it. I finished last week with an improved 12-4 record that brought my season total to 126-82 (.606). Time is running out for my 16-0 week. So lets give it another shot.

Alright, for simplicity reasons I will post all my picks against the spread at one time this week. Ever since the NFL started the Thursday games this year and I’ve split my ATS picks, my record has tanked! So this week I will pick them all together again.

If I thought that I was going down last week, than I had another thing coming. Week 13 proved to be as unlucky as any number 13 can be. I tanked, flopped, sank, bombed, stank, crashed, you got a name for it, I did it last week by finishing 6-10 bringing my season average down below the .600 mark (114-78 (.594)). But that’s OK, just like Minnesota in their 34-0 loss to Green Bay, I will bounce

Well, my, my how time does fly. Here it is late on a Saturday evening and I have yet to get my picks against the spread up in print. Shame on me! Alright, we’re gonna do this rapid fire style.

The start of the Thursday night game can really sneak up on a person’s scheduling habits. With the kickoff less than two hours off, I really think that I need to get my spread pick on the board. So here it goes. The rest of the week will follow later. Green Bay Packers +7Dallas Cowboys All the angles have been discussed. How will the Packers fair if Charles Woodson isn’t ready to play?

If you’re going to go down, go down in style! Well, I don’t know how much style I did it in, but I did go down, only Miami saved me from falling below the .500 mark…at your expense, I thank you guys! I think this week emphasized the fact that there is no such thing as a sure thing as we watched Eli Manning literally throw away any chance New York had to win, San Francisco found a way to sweep

Last week proved to be a good week as I finished with a 10-4-2 record. That’s a number any betting man would be happy to have had in Vegas, although 16-0 would have been sweeter. However, these lines are made to increase the difficulty of obtaining such numbers. Having gone 2-1 on the Thanksgiving Day games this week, I’m already short the perfect week, let’s hope this week end proves better than

Last week was a good week for me. I finished 13-3, and considering that one of those losses was the shocking upset of Pittsburgh I don’t feel to bad about it. This week I will look to add on to that record and attempt the 16-0 week. So with not further delay, here it goes, Week 12. Last weeks numbers: 13-3 Season Total, 100-60 (.625) ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN Thursday, November 22, 2007

Last week was a bit unpredictable as the “Any Given Sunday” phenomena reared its head. However, through it all I managed to hold on to an above .500 week. Not the big money maker, but nothing lost. Finishing 7-6-1 on the week, I can only hope to improve this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, November 18, 20071:00

It seems parity ran rich through the NFL in week 10. Arizona defeated Detroit in a game of turnovers, St. Louis completely demolished New Orleans, and Peyton Manning threw 6 interceptions and still almost won the game except for a 29 yard field goal miss by Adam Vinatieri. Through it all I managed to maintain an above .500 week, finishing 8-6 for a season total of 87-57 (.604). This week

Week 9 is done and gone, and we finally had a game that lived up to the NFL hype! New England remains undefeated, but not by a dominating victory as Indianapolis simply failed to hold on to their fourth quarter lead. So what have we learned this week? “Any Given Sunday” is the rule, not the exception, and New England isn’t immortal. Granted they still stole away with the win, but they didn’t make

My apologies. Due to circumstances beyond my control, involving a family emergency, I was unable to publish my picks ATS before the start of the football week. Thank you for your understanding.

Week 7 has come and Week 7 has gone and all I can say is that I survived. My distance over the .500 mark has increased, but only in what I would call an average fashion. I did, however, come out on top with two of my upset picks as Buffalo was able to rise above Baltimore and my homer pick, as many would call it, of Denver over Pittsburgh finished Jason Elam style. I finished the week 9-5

Better late than never, games haven’t started yet so I’ll get my ATS in a quickly as possible. Finishing last week 6-5-2, it was an improvement from week 5, but not enough. Let’s see what we can pull off this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday October 21, 2007------------------------------------------------------------

Week 6 ended another brutal week for me in the NFL picks. Although I continue to keep my head above .500, it most certainly isn’t anything to write home about. I was the only one upset about my upset picks and the Saints finally won a game…that in itself should sum it up for me. Last week I finished 7-6 for another mediocre week. This brings my running total to 51-38 (.573). It’s time for a turn

Last week broke the bank, sent me to the poor house, and ruined my credit!!! Well, it would have if I had actually placed money on all my picks. Last week was a devastating 3-10-1 week. Ouch. Let’s try to bring those numbers up. Another week of short and sweet, here’s the breakdown.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sunday October 14,

Alright, this week I must make it short and sweet. I went 8-6 last week and my season record has now come to 44-32 (.579). It was just another unimpressive week that I will need to improve on. Let’s get week 6 started. ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN Sunday, October 14, 2007 Open Date: Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers

Once again I will have to make this week ATS picks short and sweet. I completed last week’s picks 8-6 to bring my season total to 35-21-3 (.593). That average doesn’t include the wash games that came out even. Not the greatest week, but an above .500 week shouldn’t send anyone to the poor house. Let’s see if I can’t improve in Week 5.---------------------------------------------------------------

What a wild ride Week 4 rolled us through. Following to the letter the saying, “Any given Sunday,” Week 4 saw many NFL picks on the wrong side of .500. Detroit proved Chicago has lost their Super Bowl defense, Cleveland denied any domination from Baltimore’s defense, the power house that was San Diego has fallen to 1-3, Atlanta claimed their first win post-Vick, and Pittsburgh fell from the ranks

Last week certainly didn’t break the bank account as I recorded a 10-3-3 week. Not that it would make much of a difference, but of the 3 even games, I was 2-1 in straight up picks. Alright, this week will be short and sweet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------September 30, 2007, Sunday----------------------------------------------

Well, it looks like Rex Grossman will officially be benched this week as Brian Griese takes the starting position going into Detroit. My opinion on this is that it only increases my confidence that the Bears will emerge victorious because right now, ANYTHING is better than Grossman.Also, Steven Jackson is officially out for the Rams. That's just driving the nail home into the coffin as St. Louis

Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL!!! After three weeks of football, the teams are starting to define themselves for who they are. Lesser teams have fallen from the undefeated ranks while a few struggling teams have finally found some chemistry to take their first win. A few teams have continued to dominate in each of their match ups to stand out among the best, while others just can’t seem to remember

Alright, it’s about that time for the picks ATS. Looks like I improved over my week 1 stats by only one game last week, but its one game in the right direction. So, after going 9-7 last week, my season stats sit at 17-15 (.531) ATS. Really looking to improve on that this week, so let’s give it a shot.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well Week two has come to a close, and we should have all been able to partake in some exciting turns of events. The shocker of the week has to go to the Cincinnati / Cleveland game. Who could have honestly seen that one coming? If you did pick Cleveland to win, I have to believe it was wishful thinking or just flat out hoping for an upset. Did you really feel confidence in that pick? Well, time

Once again, everyone knows my takes on the outcomes of each of these games by reading my straight up picks. I’ll just make a quick run through of the spread.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------September 16th, 2007-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Buffalo Bills

Well Week 1 has already come and gone an we are now full steam into the regular season. How did your teams fair in opening week? With the conclusion of Week 1 my record tallied in at 10-6. Not the greatest record, but respectable. Now that we’ve seen the starters take the field in their first real game and the play was for keeps, I hope to be able to improve on that record here in Week 2. Shall

Unfortunately I have found myself pressed for time this week, I only hope life doesn’t continue to be this hectic. Most of my straight up picks give my thoughts on the game, so I’m just going to run through the spread quickly. Here we go.

Preseason is finally over, and it time to start picking the real games. Just for the final count, I finished up Week 4 of the preseason on a high note with a record of 11-5. That bumped my preseason picks over .500. The final tally came to 35 of 64 or 35-29 (.547). But that doesn’t really matter, nothing in preseason does, so let’s move on to the regular season!!!! I don’t even want to waste

With the conclusion of Week 3 of my preseason picks, it seems as though I’m still balanced right at .500. This week I finish 8-8, which brings me to 24 of 48 or 24-24 (.500). Entering into the final week of the preseason, I find that picks are difficult to come by. No one wants to get injured one game away for the regular season. So some starters will continue to sit out and other will play, but

Last week didn’t work out to well as my picks came in under .500 at 7-9. That’s OK. An under .500 week was bound to happen at least once, and what better time than during the preseason. So with the combination of week 1 in the preseason I am currently 16 of 32 or 16-16 (.500). I will definitely be looking to improve this week as we draw closer to the regular season. Although some starters won’t

Football season if officially underway and the first week of preseason has been completed. So with the completion of the first week, comes the tally of my first week record and I can’t say that it was an impressive one at 9-7 (.563). I can only be thankful that we are still in the preseason. So we now advance on to Week 2 and the games that await us. Here is this weeks breakdown and hopefully we

Football season is upon us again and it’s time to start thinking of who’s better than whom. Although pre-season games don’t count toward anyone’s records and the starters will only play a fraction of the plays, I thought it would be fun to get a jump start on the season with some “Just of Kicks Picks!” Call it a test drive on the season if you will, but I just simply could not wait any longer for

The roar of the crowd, cold cracks of the beer, fans represent loud cause football is here! Or at least it will be within a few days! So before everyone leaves indentations in their recliners and become fixated to their television screens all Sunday afternoon, the arguable debate of division leaders must not be denied. Who do you have going into the playoffs this year? AFC WEST

With preseason only days away and countdowns ticking away the hours every where you look, it’s only natural that predictions begin to surface everywhere. Who will be this year’s team to beat? Who will be the team for everyone to beat? And, of course, who will be this years division leaders going into the playoffs? NFC EAST Last years Washington

Image and conduct have been a long-standing problem within professional sports. Every time a television is turned on or a newspaper is opened there is a story involving the arrest, conviction, or suspension of another sports figure. However, the punishment for these athletes never seems to match the extent of the crimes. Sports fans are growing weary of the message today’s youth

So I hope that nobody was shocked or surprised by the #1 pick of the 2007 draft. When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell took his first ever walk to the podium to announce the Oakland Raiders decision to take the 6’6” 263lbs quarterback from Louisiana State, JaMarcus Russell, you had to just shrug your shoulders and say you knew that.

Although at this point you may still find it difficult to get a fully displayed schedule on NFL.com, Sportsline.com, or anywhere for that matter, a few games have leaked.

Seeing as how the Saints have made it to the NFC Championship game and could very well be on their way to the Super Bowl with a win over the Chicago Bears this weekend, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back to a thread I posted on the CBS message board back in September right after the they defeated the Falcons in week 3.

Alright, let's make this short and sweet, we already know who I'm picking SU, so let's see how the spread differs my picks.Saints(+2) Vs Bears - I'm taking the Number One offense in the Saints to upset the tough defense of the Bears. I'm taking the Saints, taking the points, and expecting a straight out win! Saint in Super Bowl XLI.Over/Under - 43.5 UnderPatriots(+3) Vs Colts - I've taken the

And so now there are only four. As we look to the Conference Championships this Sunday, January 21, 2007 we can feel the tension mount in anticipation of Super Bowl XLI. Four teams, and only two will be allowed to advance. Only two can make the trip to Miami to battle it out for the covenanted Vince Lombardi Trophy. Only two. So who advances? Who goes home? Who will be standing on the sidelines

Ok, a quick run down of my calls against the spread. I see some close games this week.Colts(+4) Vs Ravens - All these games are getting a little tougher to call. I've got the Ravens to win in this game. Thier defense will prove to be just enough to stop Peyton Manning. However, just enough means the Colts will cover.Eagles(+6) Vs Saints - I've got the Saints marching on to victory in this game,

Just for anyone who would like to know, there has been a greater percentage of home teams losing during the wild card weekend in the years past. This of course means that the road teams have been in the habit of upsetting the home teams and sending them home for the season before they even have the chance to leave home! That was most certainly not the case this last week as the home teams

Alright, I'm going to try to make this quick, and just for some extra giggles. I'm going to pick my over/under this week. That's something I haven't done this year.Saturday, Januuary 6, 2007Chiefs(+7) @ Colts - Ok, I think this is going to be one of those down to the wire games. Peyton Manning will go off on the Chiefs defense, but Larry Johnson will run up and down the field on the Colts defense
