Arizona Cardinals are Falling Apart
The Arizona Cardinals are doing the wrong thing the right way. Instead of shackling one of their few remaining star players with yet another franchise tag, the team has announced they will let all-pro linebacker Karlos Dansby test the free agent market. Is Ken Wisenhu...

Ray Edwards, the other Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end, railed against the NFL Commissioner, the NFLPA and his fellow Vikings in heated comments made to the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Tuesday. Edwards, one of many NFL players who would normally be an unrestricted fr...

Inside the Numbers of Super Bowl History
After struggling with my NFL picks against the point spread the last several weeks, I was 2-0 on Conference Championship weekend, correctly picking the Colts to cover the spread and for the Vikings-Saints game to go Over the total. It’s still a little early to start bre...

Some Trends and Stats Looking Ahead to the NFL Conference Championships
Looking at the recent history of top seeds, odds say there’s a slim chance of the Colts and Saints meeting in South Florida for the Super Bowl in February. Over the past 34 seasons, only 8 Super Bowls have featured the top seed from each conference. The last time it hap...

Looking back and ahead on NFL spreads and odds
Looking back on the weekend’s Wildcard Playoff action in the NFL, there’s really only one game to talk about: the classic shootout between Arizona and Green Bay. Considering the Pack was down 17-0 and 31-10 late, it’s amazing that this game ended tied at 45 heading to o...

Well the playoff matchups are set, so since there’s no Monday Night game this week, let’s take a look back at some interesting NFL team records against the spread and get an early glimpse at the wildcard playoff point spreads. As bad as Cleveland was, they were actuall...

Free Pick for Christmas Night NFL Action
San Diego +3 at Tennessee This is a tough game to pick against the point spread, and the Titans are fighting for the outside possibility of making the playoffs. They've won 5 of 6 with Vince Young at the helm and will have a raucous holiday home crowd for a TV night gam...

Week 15 Free MNF Pick
Washington +3 vs. NY Giants The Giants have been up and down while Washington has played tough despite all the injuries, dysfunction and losses. Should be some positive energy in the building tonight following the departure of Vinny Cerrato. Longtime divisional battle s...

Free Pick for NFL Thursday Night Action
Indianapolis -3 at Jacksonville; over/under 43 This is the kind of game that’s really tough to handicap and make an informed pick against the spread. First, there wasn’t even a point spread posted for a few days since no one’s really sure if the Colts are going to play...

Free NFL Pick for MNF Cardinals at 49ers
Arizona -3.5 at San Francisco The Cardinals are the much better team, and will be looking to avenge their season-opening loss to the 49ers. Arizona protected Kurt Warner against a great Vikings defensive line, and was able to pressure the QB against a good offensive lin...

Free NFL Pick for Thursday Night
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns: OVER 33 Looks like the total opened at 37.5 and has plummetted to 33. That's a lot of movement and obviously everyone's betting on the Under because of the weather reports and more running if it's windy and no Hines Ward, etc etc...

Free Pick for Ravens-Packers MNF Game
Baltimore +3.5 at GREEN BAY While Aaron Rodgers and the Packers receivers aren’t the best matchup for the suspect Ravens secondary, I think Baltimore smells wildcard blood in the AFC and will come to play Monday Night. The Ravens have lost a lot of close games too good...

Free MNF Pick
Big Monday Night matchup tonight as the undefeated Saints host the Patriots in New Orleans. Should be an electric atmosphere in the Superdome. I think the Patriots are the play here. They're only getting 1.5 points, but it seems the Saints are overdue for a loss and the...

Best Bet: Free NFL Pick for Thursday Night
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 kee...

Week 10 Monday Night Point Spread Pick
Ravens -11 at CLEVELAND Yuck. 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 te...

Free MNF Pick
OK folks, I’ve been slumping and struggling with my free picks in this space the last 2-3 weeks, so perhaps your best bet would be to bet against whatever I pick. That’s up to you. I will offer you a few stats and trends that may or (most likely) may not have any impact...

Free MNF Pick
NEW ORLEANS -11.5 vs. Atlanta This line is pretty big, especially for a divisional matchup against a decent Falcons team. But the Saints are absolutely rolling this year, not only undefeated but also 6-0 against the spread. Shades of the ’99 Rams with an offense that ca...

Vegas Hurting as Big Favorites Cruise
Apparently this past Sunday was among the worst days ever for the Vegas bookmakers. The public loves to bet favorites like New England, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis. Usually Vegas can just crank the point spreads up past 14 and take the public’s money when inevi...

Monday Night Football Free Pick
This is a classic "stay away from" game that's hard to predict. Who knows how Washington responds to all the turmoil, or how Philly bounces back from an embarrassing loss at Oakland. There should be lots of Philly fans in Washington and the Eagles should win and cover t...
