Not every game is listed, just what I think are some of the best bets against the spread. These free picks are against the most current point spreads as of Thursday evening. If you’re a casual bettor or even just an office pool junkie, a good place to check out how other people are making their NFL picks is the forums over at ... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L. Frank) NFL 2009-11-20T11:47:24-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14603 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14603 Over a decade ago, embattled quarterback Rich Gannon came to Oakland, amidst disgruntled sighs and hearty boos from loyal Raider fans. The guy hadn’t done much of anything in the NFL up to that point (unless “getting sacked” was something to brag about) and his reputation preceded him. Raider fans simply had to have faith that new coach Jon Gruden knew what he was doing and hope for the best. mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2009-11-20T10:47:25-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14602 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14602 No, that’s not some new fangled math; it’s the Vikings formula for success this season. The two is the number of rushing touchdowns the vaunted purple defense has given up over the last nine games. When an opponent can’t run for points, more often than not, they can’t win. Sure, the Vikings D is allowing opposing tailbacks to gobble up more yards than they have in recent years, but only twice ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2009-11-20T10:24:25-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14600 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14600 Before I get into this, I had to admit to some bias: I’m a huge Antoine Winfield fan. Having played cornerback in my youth, I gravitate towards good corners when watching NFL games. From Darrel Green and Rod Woodson to Nnamdi Asomugha and Winfield, there’s just something about that position that cranks the adrenalin. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, it’s easy to see why the loss of ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2009-11-19T13:01:39-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14599 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14599 Miami +3 at CAROLINA I know that Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown is out, but Ricky Williams is more than capable of carrying the load. Pat White could pick up some of Brown’s wildcat snaps, and he is a legitimate passing threat (who also happens to have blazing speed if he keeps it). The Dolphins are well coached, and their losses have come against Indy, New Orleans, San Diego, and New England. On the ... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Despite all the turmoil in Oakland, the team does have a professional caliber workout facility that multi-million dollar QB Russell has access to any time he wants.

So what? Nobody except Marv The Genius wanted Jauron in the first place. So now the Bills have gotten rid of what they should have avoided in the first place.

The object for the “prey” is to elude Mantracker and reach the finish line in under thirty-six hours. Mantracker’s goal is obvious, run the prey to ground.

Ugly game for Monday Night Football. Baltimore has been up and down this year as they are now 4-4 after starting 3-0. But their losses are to Minnesota, New England, and Cincinnati (twice). Those are good teams. The Browns are not a good team. I wont blame you for staying away from betting on the Ravens giving such a high number on the road in a divisional revenge ...

In fact, he became only the fourth Viking wide out in history to eat up more than 200 receiving yards in a game. With big completions of 56, 43, 43, and 21 yards, Rice gave notice that ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2009-11-16T11:13:56-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/raiders/14582 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/raiders/14582 How many games were lost to the Chiefs on late game interceptions in the 90s? While that pick by Chiefs safety, Mike Brown, certainly wasn’t the play to lose the game, it was definitely a recognizable moment for long time Raider fans. More key to the loss might have been rookie wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey dropping a sure touchdown at the two yard line, with momentum that carried him into ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2009-11-16T10:43:12-05:00
