3-1 Week For Free NFL Picks As Well!

In addition to our Free NCAA Football Picks going 3-1 this weekend, our Free NFL Picks did the same.

The Bears covered a -3 spread with 25-19 win over Seahawks; the Bills and Saints went under 51 1/2 points in a 27-7 Saints victory; and the Colts stomped the Cardinals and a ridiculous +2 1/2 spread in a 31-10 Sunday night win.

We'll get to our weekly breakdown and record update momentarily.

Free NFL Picks Look For Winning Week

After two weeks, our Free NFL Picks are a disappointing 5-6, but we expect better results moving forward when more current stats become available (rather than using a combination of last year's stats).

In Week One, we had a crazy nine-pick card, only to follow that with just two picks in Week Two. In Week Three, we have more of a standard Stock Lemon card in terms of quantity and hopefully quality.

Titans +3 over the Jets

Bears -3 over the Seahawks

Colts +2 1/2 over the Cardinals

Bills/Saints UNDER 51 1/2

Three road teams and an under this week. Not in love with the fact that all of our picks are on the road, but we'll play what the system gives us, especially early on.

Good luck!

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 27-29

It's the second-to-last day of our 2009 NFL Mock Draft as we apporach the real 2009 NFL Draft, and we have three more picks for you as we put the finishing touches on this thing. To see all the previous 26 picks, check out the upper right hand side of the page for the links. 

27. Colts: James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State

We're not too high on Laurinaitis, but he's a solid young player who can help fill a need in Indy. There's some talk of Laurinaitis going a little higher than this, but we think he'll land with the Colts and give them a decent value pick at 27. He had a good college career and can play in multiple defensive schemes, but he doesn't really excel at any particular area, which is why he's available at this point. 

28. Bills: Eben Britton, T, Arizona

This pick is somewhat of a wild card, but at the end of the day we feel like the Bills will fill the draft pick they received in a trade with the position that they traded to receive the draft pick--if that makes any sense. Britton is the next best available tackle on the board after some pretty good ones have already been taking, but he might just end up as another Bills reach. The Bills addressed the defensive line with the 11th pick, and our guess is that they go with the other line late in the first. 

29. Giants: Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina

The Giants need a receiver and Nicks needs a team--perfect fit. Nicks is the sixth wide out off of the board, which in reality might be a little high, but there are some talented pass catchers in this draft. The Giants will love Nicks' hands and his physical play, resembling some guy the G-Men used to have before he shot himself in the leg. 

Like we said, we'll have the last three picks of our 2009 NFL Mock Draft tomorrow, completing the first round of this year's crapshoot. 

Be sure to check back for the grand finale!

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 10-12

The mock madness continues today with picks 10-12. Be sure to check out the rest of the mock draft by clicking the links on the upper right hand side of this page. 

And off we go... 

10. 49ers: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri 

The 49ers would have loved for one of the quarterbacks to fall to the tenth spot, but they'll settle for one of the top two quarterback targets in this draft. Maclin brings speed--and lots of it. He should give San Fran the offensive spark they've been looking for in the passing game, regardless of who they have throwing him the ball.

11. Bills: Everette Brown, DE, Florida State

The Bills need some help on the defensive line, and Brown is considered by most to be the second best end in the draft (and the best still available at this pick), and he's shooting fast up the draft board. Brown's quickness and versatility will make him a lot of money next weekend, and for good reason. He can probably play linebacker in a 3-4, but in Buffalo he'll stick to where he's most comfortable as an end in the 4-3. 

12. Broncos: Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State

The men in charge in Denver would have loved to see Brown fall to them at 12, but Maybin is a heck of a consolation prize. Maybin came out of nowhere and had a huge season for the Nittany Lions when he finally got the playing time and opportunity to display his talent. Maybin is also a candidate for a linebacker role in the Broncos 3-4 defense. Some think the Broncos might be able to snatch up maybe at pick 18, but we don't think they'll take that chance. 

Keep checking back for more of our first full mock draft. 20 picks to go! 

Two NFL Locks of the Year!

Our number one goal here at Stock Lemon is to make you money. That's it. That's the main idea. We hope that our free picks can provide you with a little extra spending cash during some hard times.

Our second goal, though, is to increase traffic to this blog. The more readers we have, the better business is for us. That said, we thought we would deliver our Free NFL Picks to you this week like many other online sports betting websites--with false promises! Sadly, doing so will likely increase our traffic by about ten times. So, enjoy our two "locks" that are "100% guaranteed!"

NFL LOCK OF THE YEAR! BIGGEST PLAY OF THE SEASON! THROW ALL OF YOUR MONEY DOWN ON THIS PLAY!!!!! (BUT DON'T COME CRYING TO US IF IT LOSES)

Bills -6 1/2 over the 49ers

NFL UPSET OF THE CENTURY! NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN A CRAZIER LINE! THIS ONE IS WAY OFF! THOSE BOOKIES ARE GOING TO BE HURTING AFTER THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Broncos +8 over the Jets

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bills and an AFC East Under Are Money

Marshawn Lynch and the Buffalo Bills steamrolled the Seahawks on Sunday, opening the season with a 34-10 pounding.

We took the Bills as a Free NFL Pick with a -1 spread, and didn't have to sweat the result.

Also in the AFC East, the much anticipated Jets debut of Brett Favre went well for the future hall-of-famer, but even better for us. Though the legendary quarterback finished with two touchdowns and earned a win over the Dolphins, the final score of 20-14 fell below the over/under set at 36.5.

These two victories are just a sign of things to come this year in the NFL here at Stock Lemon. Stay with us throughout the year for more Free NFL Picks, at the low, low price of free.

Three More Free NFL Picks

We already gave you our Game of the Week, now it's time for the rest of the solid Free NFL Picks this weekend.

New York Jets/Miami Dolphins UNDER 36.5

Buffalo Bills -1 over the Seattle Seahawks

Houstona Texans +7 over the Pittsburgh Steelers

In Brett Favre's first game with the Jets, he won't even be the biggest story of the game. The weather, not Favre, will have the biggest impact on this game, thanks to hurricane rains and winds that result in a low-scoring contest between to teams coming off of dismal 2007 campaigns.

The Bills are being overlooked at home against a soft Seattle team--don't be surprised to see them win big.

The Texans are a team on the rise and the Steelers are a team on the decline, the smart money is one Houston in Week 1.

Good luck and enjoy the free winners all weekend long!

Kevin Hart to go Straight to the NFL

If you haven't heard the Kevin Hart saga yet, here are the cliffnotes: He's an offensive lineman from a Nevada high school who was first thought to be headed to Oregon to play football. Then, in dramatic fashion, he chose to play for California instead at a press conference in front of his high school. We'll let Deadspin catch you up on the rest:

It was discovered that neither school actually sent anybody to recruit him.

It was concluded that Hart was scammed by a con-man posing as a recruiter for the schools. The police had no information on the actual identity of the suspect.

Then, the police suddenly received plenty of information on the identity of the suspect when Hart himself admitted that he made everything up. Everything.

So what does Kevin Hart do for an encore? According to a source, Hart has decided to forego the college ranks altogether and enter the NFL Draft.

Citing his hero, Maurice Clarett, Hart stated that going straight to the NFL is "the smartest decision of my life." He will challenge the NFL rule which requires players to be three years out of high school before entering the league. Due to a technicality, many believe that the NFL will be forced to allow him entrance into the draft.

But that's not enough for Hart. Not only does he want to to be admitted to the draft, he also expects to chose which team he will play for. He told a source, "I'm either going to go to the Eagles with the 19th overall pick or making the Bills take me at 11."

Regardless of where he ends up playing, there's no question he comes with baggage. Who knows what this kid will do next.
