Rose Bowl- Wisconsin vs Stanford

January 1, 2013 21 Comments

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. I think there’s opportunity in the Rose Bowl today, where Big Ten champ Wisconsin faces Pac 12 champ Stanford. These teams are mirror [...]

$$$ Mancini’s Week 17 NFL Picks $$$

December 29, 2012 9 Comments

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 [...]

$$$ Mancini’s Week 16 NFL Picks $$$

December 22, 2012 4 Comments

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 [...]

Las Vegas Bowl- Washington vs. Boise St.

December 22, 2012 19 Comments

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 [...]

Ball State Cardinals vs. Central Florida Knights

December 21, 2012 5 Comments

The Ball State Cardinals finished the regular season with a 9-3 record overall, and 6-2 in the MAC. The Cardinals began the season 3-3 and have won six straight games since. This year’s Ball State team tied for the most wins in the program’s history, thanks to an outstanding offense. The Cardinals three losses are [...]

$$$ Mancini’s Week 15 NFL Picks $$$

December 15, 2012 12 Comments

We only have three weeks left in the regular season, but these last 3 weeks are generally the toughest to handicap because motivation varies greatly from team to team and player to player. By the way– I just saw where “scarbrojoe” posted in last week’s comment section that he had a lock for this week, [...]

New Mexico Bowl- Nevada vs Arizona

December 14, 2012 16 Comments

Well, bowl season has arrived. Handicapping bowl games can be a little tricky at times, as many of you know, but with so many opportunities in such a short amount of time you can make some fast money if you catch a little heat. We’ve done well this season with the college football picks, going [...]

$$$ Mancini’s Week 14 NFL Picks $$$

December 8, 2012 37 Comments

The NFL hasn’t been kind to me over the last few weeks so our year-to-date record is now a coin flipper’s special, 17-17. No time to pout now though, the playoffs are coming and there’s money to be made. Hopefully we’ll start tomorrow with these 3 games: Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers (Atl -3.5, 48) [...]

Army vs Navy

December 8, 2012 4 Comments

The college football season is regrettably coming to a close this weekend, as I consider bowl season something else entirely. We’ve done fairly well this season at 25-17, let’s see if we can finish on a high note tomorrow. Army vs Navy (Navy -7, 56) The Pick: Army +7 Army/Navy used to be a fun game [...]

$$$ Mancini’s Week 13 NFL Picks $$$

December 2, 2012 20 Comments

We’re coming off a disastrous Week 12, so the overall NFL record now sits at a rather pedestrian 16-15. Only one way to fix that: Indianapolis Colts @ Detroit Lions (Det -5, 51) The Pick: Detroit -5 For those of you who have been riding the Indianapolis Colts this season, its been a nice ride, [...]
