NFL Week 11 Picks (2021 Season)

This may be the Year of the Ox, but in the NFL, it's the Year of the Dog. Underdogs went 9-5 against the spread in week 10. As a result, dogs now have a 58 percent season win rate.

NFL Week 10 Picks (2021 Season)

It's been a cruel few weeks for an NFL bettor. Underdogs are 20-9 over the last 14 days. As we saw on Thursday night when the +8.5 Dolphins upset the Ravens, anything can happen on an NFL field...other than the Lions winning a game. Thankfully, you have yours truly to help put money in your pocket.

NFL Week 12 Picks (2019 Season)

Well, folks, it's another (mostly) craptastic week of games - with the only exciting ones being Cowboys at Patriots, Packers at 49ers, and Ravens at Rams; however, there should be plenty of unintentional hilarity. There always is every time Mitch Trubisky - or the entire Dolphins and Redskins rosters - take the field.

NFL Week 7 Picks (2019 Season)

Can Monday Night Football please get rid of the officiating guy (it’s not even worth my time to Google his name) who occasionally chimes in when there’s an unclear call? He offers nothing other than the blatantly obvious — “whoever comes up with the ball gets possession!” — or takes the sides of the blind refs, much to the annoyance of Booger and anyone else with half a brain. (Does Booger have half a brain? That’s open to interpretation.) Okay, enough complaining. Here are my picks.
