The Odds-On Favorite: Super Bowl Pick

This is it. The last hurrah. The “Big Game”. The single reason why there will never be a Super Bowl held within the Las Vegas city limits. There’s just too much gambling to be done. The Super Bowl is the biggest event of the year when it comes to money changing hands. So much money [...]

The Odds-On Favorite: Conference Championship Picks

Following perhaps one of the strangest NFL Regular Seasons in my lifetime, it should come as no surprise that the playoffs are just as ridiculous and unpredictable. Consider: home teams are 3-5 so far in the playoffs. Teams with a first round bye went 1-3 last week (Thank God for Norv Turner!). And favorites are [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Playoff Picks; Divisional Round

Yep, I’m a dolt. Rather than spending a couple of hours last night after Florida cemented their status as the college football team of the decade researching and writing up the picks post, I chose to play Tetris on Facebook, take a shower and goto bed early. Therefore, I have to give an abbreviated picks [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Playoff Picks; Wild Card Round

I gotta tell ya, after the first 10 games of last week’s NFL slate, I felt pretty good about my chances to even up the regular season record, and perhaps even break .500 on the year.  I needed to end the week with no worse than a 12-4 in Week 17′s picks, and through ten [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 17 NFL Picks

I hope everyone out there is enjoying the Holiday season.  Depending on when you are reading this post, I’m in one of the following states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico Arizona or Nevada. So, with 1/3 of the continental US on [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 5 NFL Picks

Ah Fridays. The only day of the week when I have to wake up before noon (Thanks again for this space Sparty…) Not to mention a day after watching the Cubs flounder in October (shocking though that may be) and my adopted Brewers gagging into an 0-2 hole on the road. At least I don’t [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 3 NFL Picks

There is no Earthly reason for me to be awake at 9am on a Friday morning. My body is so unbelievably backwards right now I wouldn’t be surprised if I stayed up for another 46 hours straight on nothing but Diet Pepsi and luke warm coffee. I’m coming off of 28 straight hours of playing [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 3 NFL Lines

Ah, there is it.The “Market Correction” in the weekly picks. After my glorious 11-4-1 week to open the season, I came crashing back to Earth with a 4-10-1 Week Two. At least I’m still above .500, which is more that I can say for 21 NFL teams so far.If you have any faith at all [...]

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 2 NFL Lines

11-4 to open the season?  That can’t possibly be right.  Actually, it’s off a little bit.  Allow me to explain after the jump, and before getting into this week’s lines…

The Odds-On Favorite – 2008 Week 1 NFL Picks

Is it bad that I’ve just started typing, and already my heart is racing and my palms are sweating? Has it really been nine months since I placed a bet on a single football game? Of course, it could just be the thirty beers I drank on Labor Day Eve finally working their way out [...]
