A Small Free NFL Picks Card (62%)

Our Free NFL Picks have been pretty solid lately, unfortunately we just haven't had a large volume of plays. And unfortunately, that's not changing this week. Quality over quantity, or something.

Vikings -2 over Redskins

Seahawks +2 over Chiefs

Texans -6 over Titans

Enjoy your three-pick Sunday, but be on the lookout for an added play or two.

Getting Our Free NCAA Football Picks In

We have a full slate of college football in this the final big week of Free NCAA Football Picks action. Let's get out on a high note and carry it into bowl season.

LSU +3 1/2 over Arkansas

Florida State -2 over Florida

South Carolina -2 1/2 over Clemson

N.C. State -2 over Maryland

Tennessee -3 over Kentucky

Oklahoma/Oklahoma State OVER 67

Cincinnati +3 over Connecticut

Full disclosure: We only picked LSU this week so that we could post that picture. Just kidding. Kind of.

Giving Thanks For Our Free Picks

We had a little better record this past weekend, going 3-1 in the NFL and a still below-average 2-2 in NCAA Football, but hey, anything to take our minds off of the week prior.

And this week provides another opportunity to forget about the losses we've had and give thanks for the wins, and hope that more are to come.

While you stuff your face with turkey today, stuff your wallet with this Free NFL Pick. Of course, more picks will follow this weekend, but let this fulfill your hunger for betting action tomorrow.

Patriots -7 over the Lions

The Lions have been a tough out on Thanksgiving, but not this tough. The Patriots should come prepared to take down a depleted Lions team fading fast.

And if the Patriots don't come through, at least you'll eat well watching it.

Good luck and happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Look! An Episode of The Lemmy Channel!

It's been a while, but we finally rolled out another edition of The Lemmy Channel over at the host site of our northern friends, The Bucky Channel. Check it out to read our thoughts on the red hot Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers up in Wisconsin.

For those of you who don't care about our arrangement with a site in Wisconsin that requires us to write about the state, we'll have the other 49 covered for you here at Stock Lemon.

We'll also have a recap of our weekend coming soon, which was just above average but can be considered a huge success after last weekend.

Stay tuned... unless you're using the clicker to switch over to The Bucky Channel.

Coming Soon: 2010-11 Free NHL Picks

Though football has consumed almost all of our time these last few months, we've gotten a few inquiries about whether or not we would be betting on other sports.

Our first reaction was, holy crap! You mean there are other sports?!

Our second reaction was remembering that, yes, we used to bet on these other sports quite a bit. Our Free NBA Picks were once the bread and butter of this site (then again, so were stocks), but we've lost faith in our system over the last year and a half to the point that we are now proceeding with exceed caution in that department.

What you will start seeing... eventually... is some Free NHL Picks, which we've had in the past but not to the volume with which we plan on posting this season. You know... eventually.

We're letting the early season numbers work themselves out, but December should bring about our first puck action this year.

In the meantime, check out our friends over at The Hockey Program, who have all sorts of great hockey coverage to get your ready for our (eventual) 2010-11 batch of Free NHL Picks.

We plan on ripping off Lexus and having a December to Remember, so be sure to check back often (in November too!) as we help you earn a little Christmas bonus that your boss is too cheap to give out this year.

Free NFL Picks Look For Another Winning Week

We had just four plays in college football yesterday (2-2), and we have just four plays in the pros today. Some favorable matchups for the road teams in this week's card.

Packers -3 over the Vikings

Ravens -12 over the Panthers

Browns +2 over the Jaguars

Falcons -3 over the Rams

Best of luck!

College Football Recovery Week

After a dismal week in college football (we won't even mention it in this space, just look to the records on the right), we're ready to chase our losses!

In all actuality, we have a very small card this week. Here goes:

Arkansas -3 over Mississippi State

Stanford -7 over California

Lousiville +4 1/2 over West Virginia

Troy +21 1/2 over South Carolina

Good luck!

Thursday Night Free NFL Pick (61% YTD)

Our Free NFL Picks, which have had just one losing week to date, are back in action this weekend--or rather, this week.

It's our first Thursday Free NFL Pick!

Dolphins -1 over the Bears

Interesting game tonight between a third string quarterback and Tyler Thigpen. HEEEYOOO! We got jokes, and hopefully we'll get a little more cash after this one. The Dolphins are a team that is still somehow better than people give them credit for, while the Bears are the team that everyone knows is terrible but will benefit from their schedule enough to post a winning record this season. This should not be one of those wins.

We'll have more Free NFL Picks coming before the weekend, as well as a Redemption Saturday in college football.

Free NFL Picks Still Hitting Above 60%

Well, at least our Free NFL Picks are back on the winning track. After our first losing week, we turned in a 3-2 effort (just had to get greedy and add a loser last second).

And no, we still aren't ready to talk about our weekend in college football. So here are our NFL picks week-by-week breakdown.

Free NFL Picks
Week 1: 5-1
Week 2: 6-1
Week 3: 4-4
Week 4: 3-3
Week 5: 4-3

Week 7: 2-2
Week 8: 3-0

As For Those NFL Picks...

We've scaled our Free NFL Picks card back a bit after yesterday's disastrous day, so let's try our hand at another small card (though we do have one more play than we've had in both of the last two weeks).

Texans +1 over Jaguars

Jets -3 over Browns

Buccaneers -7 over Panthers

Broncos +1 1/2 over Chiefs

ADDING A PLAY:

Vikings -1 1/2 over Bears

Good luck and happy fading.

And That's Why People Quit Gambling

Let the Stock Lemon backlash begin!

Just a horrendous, nightmare of a week in college football. We will post some NFL Picks shortly, but holy crap. What a bad, bad day.

Time For Some Free NCAA Football Picks

It's been a busy week around here (or not, for those of you reading us), as we've been hammering out our system to ensure that we don't get blanked in the NFL again. Though we had just three Free NFL Picks to work with last week, we went 0-2-1 following a .500 day in college ball that left us with a sick feeling after the weekend.

So after our first losing week in the NFL all season, coupled with our first non-winning college football slate in five weeks, we are hoping to get back on track this week with some larger cards to boot. And can you blame us that Elisha Cuthbert has us feeling a little longhorny this weekend? HEEEEYOOOO!

Texas +6 over Oklahoma State

Marshall -17 over Memphis

N.C. State -18 1/2 over Wake Forest

Virginia +3 over Maryland

Florida -7 over South Carolina

Penn State/Ohio State UNDER 49

Stanford -6 over Arizona State

Georgia Tech +3 over Miami

And a look at the record thus far:

Free NCAA Football Picks
Week 1: 5-4-1
Week 2: 8-4
Week 3: 3-6
Week 4: 4-7
Week 5: 3-6
Week 6: 5-2
Week 7: 5-3
Week 8: 5-3
Week 9: 5-0
Week 10: 3-3
Overall: 47-38-1... 55%

Not a Great Weekend... But Look, a Hot, Semi-Nude Girl!

Remember how we hadn't had a losing week in the NFL... well... yeah.

Not a great weekend of football, with an 0-2-1 showing in the NFL and a 3-3 week in the NCAA (which, considering our momentum with the Free NCAA Football Picks, is almost worse... almost).

Next weekend should see a few more plays, especially in the NFL, where the last two weeks have had three picks and a 3-2-1 record. Our updated records are below. In the meantime, here's a picture of a hot girl.

Free NFL Picks
Week 1: 5-1
Week 2: 6-1
Week 3: 4-4
Week 4: 3-3
Week 5: 4-3
Week 6: 3-3
Week 7: 2-2
Week 8: 3-0
Week 9: 0-2-1
Overall: 30-19-1... 61%

Free NCAA Football Picks
Week 1: 5-4-1
Week 2: 8-4
Week 3: 3-6
Week 4: 4-7
Week 5: 3-6
Week 6: 5-2
Week 7: 5-3
Week 8: 5-3
Week 9: 5-0
Week 10: 3-3
Overall: 47-38-1... 55%

Looking For More Free NFL Pick Perfection (64% YTD)

After a perfect week in the NFL (and college), we're ready for an encore with another small three-play card. We would like to remind you, though, that last week's three-play card worked out just fine.

Jets -5 over the Lions

Bills +3 over Bears

Vikings -8 over Cardinals

And our week-by-week recap:

Free NFL Picks
Week 1: 5-1
Week 2: 6-1
Week 3: 4-4
Week 4: 3-3
Week 5: 4-3
Week 6: 3-3
Week 7: 2-2
Week 8: 3-0
Overall: 30-17... 64%

Free NCAA Football Picks Look to Stay Hot (71% in Last Four Weeks)

As the long title of this post suggests, our Free NCAA Football Picks emerged from a rough patch to win 20 of the next 28 picks (71%) and bring us back up to 56% on the season, highlighted by last week's 5-0 picks.

But the past is the past. The same reason we dug out of our hole is the same reason we plan on staying out--we move on. This week is a new week, and the plays are below.

It seems likely that we'll add to this card, but we are not certain at this point.

Arizona +9 1/2 over Stanford (Hard not to side with Jennie Finch in this one)

Oklahoma/Texas A&M OVER 60 1/2

Oregon -35 over Washington

Illinois +3 over Michigan

Clemson -3 over N.C. State

Tennessee -20 over Memphis

Again, more could be coming, but it looks like another relatively small card. Good luck!
