The last few weeks, I haven’t really been inspired to do the Spread ‘Em column. My football energies have been focused on the great run the Packers are making, and I’ve neglected paying attention to all the other teams, so my picks have been suffering.
However, the Packers can wrap up a playoff spot this weekend, [...]

It feels like I’ve gone 4-3 every week for quite some time now, but that’s not actually the case. However, last week was, again, a mixed bag. My Thanksgiving thoughts mostly included being thankful for being above water on my fake betting:
Last Week: Against the Spread: 4-3; Straight Up: 5-2
Season: Against the Spread: 39-30-1 [...]

Last week: 8-5 straight, 6-6-1 vs. spread
Total: 41-19 (.683) straight, 33-25-2 (.569) vs. spread
I’ll let last week’s mediocre performance speak for itself, but just add that I once again picked WSU to lose by less than a gigantic margin and was wrong. This week’s theme is, you guessed it, conference championships, practically and/or [...]

A little late on this week’s picks, I apologize. But relatives were here for Thanksgiving, and I didn’t particularly like any of the lines from the Thursday games, so I put it off until now. I know most are busy and probably won’t read this anyway, so I will, like BJones did earlier this week [...]

Last week: 5-1 straight, 3-3 vs. spread
Total: 33-14 straight (.702), 27-19-1 (.585) vs. spread
Last week, 31-point underdog Washington State got me again with their 32 point loss. This week, I’ll be betting against them again, as our theme will be in-state rivalry games. I’ll spare you long analyses of the many games as tryptophan may [...]

Last week: 2-5 straight, 4-3 vs. spread
Season: 28-13 straight, 24-16-1 vs. spread
Last week’s numbers prove that there’s a reason we call them upsets. I am pleased that UCF over Houston was the one good upset I hit, but unhappy that it was not enough to drop the Cougars from the rankings, not enough to make [...]

So, it’s probably a bad choice of words for the title of this post, but it’s the first thing to come to my mind — and I can’t think of anything else that grabs people attention so that they read this. So my apologies in advance.
Economic studies can be pretty random sometimes. This is one [...]

Last week: 6-0 Straight, 5-1 vs. the spread
Total: 24-10 Straight, 22-11-1 vs. the spread
After my best week yet, missing perfection thanks only to Washington State, I am feeling a little bold or perhaps anxious to bring my numbers back down. So this week’s theme will be ranked teams that will lose.
West Virginia (7-2) @ #5 [...]

The last couple of weeks have been rough (a combined 6-8 against the spread). Last week, I admitted I had no clue on the bets to make. At least I knew I knew nothing. However, the one thing I thought I knew is that the Packers would win (I predicted a 42-2 win. They lost [...]
