Okaaay time to dip our toes into the waters of basketball betting for the first time this season… as some of you know we had an extremely profitable NBA season last year, hopefully we can do it again.

Back in the saddle this week, apologies to all for my absence last week. Family matters take precedence over posting picks on this site, and I’ll leave it at that. Also, my fellow contributors (as well as a couple of commenters) have been asking me about NBA/college basketball picks– I’ll post my bets when I [...]

BCS National Championship Alabama vs Notre Dame (Ala -9.5, 40.5) The Pick: Alabama -9.5 It’s unfortunate that the college football season comes to a close tonight, but at least it ends with a bang: #1 Notre Dame and #2 Alabama, playing for it all.

Rose Bowl Wisconsin vs Stanford (Stan -6, 47.5) The Pick: Wisconsin +6 After another rough NFL Sunday it’s time to get back to where we’ve made our money this year: college football.

We’ve reached the final week of the NFL season, a week that’s generally considered difficult to handicap due to the fact that some teams are already on vacation while others are fighting for their playoff lives. It’s been a tough year– 21-21 on the picks– so we could use a good weekend as we head [...]

The playoffs are fast approaching, which means some teams have checked out and others are locked in. It’s our job to know the difference. We’ve had a bad last few weeks and the overall record now sits at 20-20, so we’re in need of a good week. I only settled on two games tomorrow, here [...]

Bowl season is about to get crazy– 15 games over the next week– so hopefully we can catch some heat and make a little money. We’ve done fairly well with the college plays this season, 26-18 is the overall record, but bowl season is off to a slow start after losing with Arizona last week. I’m [...]

By the way– I just saw where “scarbrojoe” posted in last week’s comment section that he had a lock for this week, [...]
