Another Winning Week For Our Free NCAA Football Picks

They have not been without their rough patches, that's for sure, but it looks like our Free NCAA Football Picks are finally back. After a solid 5-2 Week 6, our picks hit five of eight this week, giving them a 10-5 mark in the last two after an ugly, ugly stretch. Needless to say, this would have been a good week to use a $50 Risk Free Bet from Bodog.

It was another one of those weeks where, when we were right, we were right. And when we were wrong, we were wrong. That's fine. That's how it goes sometimes. While it's strange that we can be so totally wrong on a pick, it's nice not to have to suffer through a bad beat.

Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan State, Oklahoma State and Clemson all took care of business on Saturday, and as such, our record update looks slightly friendlier:

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
Overall: 34-32-1... 52%

Obviously, still not where we want them to be, but it could be worse. It has been worse.

Our 65% Free NFL Picks will follow this morning, so stay tuned.

Another 3-1 Week For Free NCAA Football Picks

Last week, our Free NCAA Football Picks went 3-1 and improved to 60% on the year. This week, they went 3-1 again, improving to 64%.

After winning both afternoon games, we won with Arizona State covering a +13 spread in a 20-17 loss to Georgia. Although our bonus game lost, we finished another great week in college pigskin.

We'll get to our weekly breakdown in just a bit. Be sure to stay with us all year as we continue to pick football winners.

Good luck!

Free NCAA Football Picks Go 2-0 On Saturday

The first Saturday of the 2009 college football season went according to plan for our Free NCAA Football Picks, going 2-0 yesterday as Buffalo upset UTEP 23-17.

The Bulls victory easily covered the spread of +10 and helped us to our first of many (we hope) undefeated Saturdays.

The Buffalo cover came hours after we earned our first win of the season with Oklahoma State's defeat of Georgia.

Unfortunately, thanks to a loss on Thursday, our Free NCAA Football Picks already have a blemish this year. But we don't mind a 2-1 (67%) start to the season.

OK State Gives Us First NCAA Football Win

With a 24-10 win over Georgia, the Cowboys of Oklahoma State have given us our first Free NCAA Football Pick win of the 2009 season, covering a -5 spread.

We have on more pick pending today in our quest for another winning season of college football.

Last year, our Free NCAA Football Picks went 33-29-1 (53%). While that's nothing to write home about, a winning season is a winning season, and we hope to be back around 60% this year.

College Football Saturday is Here!

We jumped the gun on our Free NCAA Football Picks and got burned on Thursday, but we're back with two plays on the first Saturday of the NCAA Football season.

Oklahoma State -5 over Georgia

Buffalo +10 over UTEP

Good luck!

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 21-23

As we enter the final week before the 2009 NFL Draft, we're about to put our finishing touches on our own 2009 NFL Mock Draft. 

You can check out the previous 20 picks by clicking the appropriate link in the upper right hand column of this site. 

Today, we're giving out our next three picks, which includes a couple of big playmakers. Take it away Philly. 

21. Eagles: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia 

The best running back in the draft, and possibly one of the best players in a few years, finally gets selected with the twenty-first pick. Moreno is the second RB picked in our mock draft, but we really feel that he is the best option in the backfield. Not only that, but Moreno is really a complete back, with the ability to catch balls out of the backfield similar to the way the Eagles typically use their running backs. Philly will get a difference maker and eventually their future starting running back late in the draft, a tremendous value for pick 21. With the moves Philly has already made (and some other trades they might make around draft day), they could be going deep into the playoffs yet again in 2009. 

22. Vikings: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida

Sticking with the SEC, the Vikings search for a true No. 1 wideout continues with the selection of Harvin. Harvin played a key role on the National Champion Gators team, but we're not sure if his skills will translate in the NFL. In Minnesota, he might be hindered by the lack of a real quarterback, but he certainly has the athleticism and skill set capable of being a breakout receiver someday. 

23. Patriots: Clay Matthews, LB, USC

The Patriots will be looking linebacker here, and Matthews is a dependable defender who should fit in nicely in New England. He's a safer pick than most in this draft, but he doesn't have as much potential as some others in our view. Matthews will mark the third USC linebacker chosen in the first 23 picks, and time will tell where he stacks up against his higher-picked college teammates. 

We'll keep on mocking through the week leading up to the NFL Draft, so be sure to check back as we round out the first 32 picks. 

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 1-3

As promised, we'll be conducting our first ever full first round mock draft, beginning today. Given how much things change over the course of the pre-NFL Draft weeks, we don't advise you take any of these picks and bet on them. 

When the NFL Draft rolls around, we'll offer some insight on who might go where and what odds are worth taking, but for now, this is merely for the fun and entertainment of it. 

So, without further ado, here are the first two picks of our 2009 NFL Mock Draft. 

1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

While there are questions as to whether or not Stafford is worthy of the No. 1 overall pick, the strong-armed kid can do some good in Detroit. Taking one of the premiere tackles might make more sense here, but we think the Lions will go for a new face of the franchise in Stafford. If anyone needs a new face of the franchise, it's the 0-16 Lions. 

2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith, T, Baylor

The main beneficiary of Detroit's decision to go with Stafford is the Rams, who are picking second for the second year in-a-row. With a need at left tackle, Jason Smith can step right in and fill the void. There are a number of other solid tackle prospects out there, but Jason Smith will likely be the first off the board.

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest

In our opinion, Curry is the best player in the draft and the absolute safest pick. Curry, along with any of the top three offensive tackles, should be around ten years from now still dominating at his position.

We'll have picks 4-6 for you most likely tomorrow, so make sure to check back and continue to do so as we unveil the rest of our first ever full NFL Mock Draft.
