The Odds-On Favorite – Week 7 NFL Picks

I’m avoiding the worry of trying to write weekly picks on three hours of sleep this week by simply writing them well in advance. Since I’m gearing up for the beginning of a series of WPT events at Foxwoods next week, let’s try to get a big number up on the board for Week 7 of the NFL season and head into the WPT on a good note…

The Odds-On Favorite – Week 6 NFL Picks

My apologies up front this week everybody. I’m coming off of 36 straight hours enduring The Wonder of it All and the hospitality of their poker room. Not the best day and a half of my life. But I’m willing to let it go, if I can just nail down one of these weeks and pull back up to a .500 record heading to the middle of the season. Let’s go for it.

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 have to listen to the cowbells in Tampa for a few more hours, or watch Manny Ramirez hit another ball 2,743 feet to straightaway center. So to fill the gap, let’s jump into some weekly NFL picks!

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 poker, so my brain is a little bit fried. Not to mention that I lost a day this week – I honestly believed today was Thursday until I finally got on my laptop and checked my Outlook Calendar to see I was a little late to write this post. Whoops. So, here goes…

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 in my Week Three redemption, hit the jump…

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 of my system (God I wish that was an exaggeration…)

Thankfully for me, my long national nightmare has come to an end. Football season starts today (for real), and I get to start pouring over sweetheart teasers, three-team parlays and this year’s money-line system. I’m giddy just typing those words. Let’s jump right in.

Hang on a second… before we dive into the best bets on the board, I need to finish watching the Price is Right Showcases… I’m pretending to win a fabulous bronze covered day bed, an off-road vehicle, a refrigerator/freezer and a camper, among other poorly made prizes…
