Football Picks for 2012-13 on the Ink
Once
again I’ll be posting picks against the spread for college football and the NFL
games. I skipped the baseball season up to this point after a bumpy NBA
playoffs. For a little fun I will also be making a “survivor pool” pick for as
long as I am alive, which is usually (ok, never)
very long, and continuing to play Streak for the Cash. I recently created a
profile for the Philly Sports Blog on the Ink. I don’t have much company yet,
so please check it out here
and hopefully I can get involved in some different groups on ESPN.
Unlike
other guys out there making picks against the spread, especially the so-called
“godfather” on 97.5, I actually let people know exactly how I do each week when
I’m actively making picks. Not much has changed since I wrote an introduction
to my picks last year, although I haven’t checked out any of the handicappers
mentioned in a while. I’m guessing I’ll still check out Al DeMarco this season.
I
also plan go back to posting the weekly updates and previews to the weekend’s picks
on Fridays. Finally, I’m debating whether or not to continue posting picks
exclusively on Twitter, or to change it to the blog with links from Facebook
and Twitter. Hopefully, people can trust me by now to know that I don’t change
my picks after the fact.
As
evidence of that, I start this year with an overall record in all sports picks
on the blog at 331-324-10 for +60.96 points. Talk about kissin’ your sister! In
football I’m at 164-170-7 for +42.49 (with some early picks from the blog
combining NFL and college picks), going 126-130-5 for +56.41 in the NFL and
53-56-2 for +116.15 in college football. Last season I put up an overall record
in football of 42-41-0 for +48.45,
28-26-0 for -13.13 in the NFL and 14-15-0 for +61.58 in college.
If
those numbers don’t prove that my picks are for “entertainment only,” nothing
will.
I
may have some picks this weekend,
including one on the Alabama-Michigan game. I’m leaning towards ‘Bama.
