Five Straight Winning Weeks Against the Spread
It
wasn’t the “big” week I was looking for with my picks, but it’s hard to
complain about a fifth straight winning week. I lost my biggest pick of the
week, actually losing in the NFL with points thanks to the “juice,” but hit my
fourth straight 15-point pick in college football. Throwing in the MLB
playoffs, I went 5-2 for +19.50 points on the week.
On
Saturday, LSU -17.5 over Tennessee was a winner. As I mentioned, it’s the
fourth straight week that I’ve had just one pick in college football, and each
was for 15 points to win +14.29.
On
Sunday, the Patriots -6.5 versus the Cowboys took down my NFL winning streak as
New England didn’t cover for -20 points. I saw the game at -7 all week, and
when it dropped under a touchdown I bit. It was just a bad call. I expected a
shoot out, and Dallas’ defense was better than I thought. I finished 2-1 for
-0.96 after winning with the Ravens -8 over the Texans and the Falcons -4 over
the Panthers, each as a 10-point pick for +9.52.
My
baseball picks continued to essentially break even. I split the League Championship
Series, losing with the Tigers +110 over the Rangers and winning with St. Louis
+120 over Milwaukee each for 10 points to finish with +2 points. I actually
went 2-1 for +6.17 points, winning my pick last night on Game 1 of the World
Series on the Cardinals for +4.17. Obviously, my Series pick on Texas is still
pending.
Most
of the guys trying to sell you picks on the internet would be screaming into a
video camera about how incredibly they’ve been with this type of run. They
wouldn’t even say that they lost in the NFL at 2-1 even though they ended up
with negative points. As I’ve always said, my picks are really just to have a
little fun. If you enjoy the picks, follow
me on Twitter or Facebook for tonight’s pick on Game 2 and more throughout the week.
