Week 1 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
It doesn’t feel real. I’m supposed to be good with words. I write thousands of them, every week. I should be able to capture emotion without stating it. But I can’t. Because this excitement is something we feel with-or-without me mentioning it. I can tell you I’m excited for this upcoming football season. But you know […]
NFL Picks: 2018 Divisional Round Picks Against the Point Spread
The Divisional Round of the playoffs has arrived. It’s time to rejoice. For a football fan, this is it. This is the big weekend of the postseason. Of course, the actual champion won’t be crowned for weeks, and we are months removed from the fanfare that is Opening Day. But, with the last surviving four […]
NFL Picks: 2018 Wild Card Picks Against the Point Spread

Week 14 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
As expected, we saw the final push begin for a few teams in Week 13 – both good and bad. The Cowboys, Broncos, and Seahawks continued to make strides in crowded races, and were given some help by the Redskins, Colts, and Panthers all losing. This carries nicely into Week 14, as it leads to […]
Week 13 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
We normally like to break up the season into four different ‘quarters.’ But we would be doing a disservice if we don’t take note of a clear separation between last week and what lies ahead of us. Because there are no more bye weeks and no more multi-game Thursdays. With the exception of a few […]
