No Free UFL Pick After All

We were really excited to whip out our second Free UFL Pick of the year, but alas, it is not to be this week.

Week 7 features a game against the now Tim Rattay-less Las Vegas Locomotives (and yes, that is a bad thing) going to Omaha to face the Jeff Garcia and the Nighthawks. Depending on how Vegas fares today with their new quarterback, the line should heavily favor the Nighthawks coming off a bye as opposed to the injury-riddled and short-rested Locos.

We'll keep you posted, but given that we don't think Omaha loses a home game especially in this spot, we should have our second Free UFL Pick of the year on Thursday.

We Need to Bet on the UFL More Often

In light of our recent struggles in college football, we decided it was time to pull the trigger on a Free UFL Pick on Saturday. And it was just the ego boost we needed.

There's nothing better than a game going down exactly as predicted, which happened when Omaha beat Sacramento but didn't cover the spread +8 point spread, giving us a 1-0 Free UFL Picks record.

After another losing week in college, it's good to have the UFL as a fall back option on Saturdays if needed.

And it's always nice to post pictures of Omaha QB Jeff Garcia's ridiculously hot wife, Carmella Decesare.

And, of course, it's good to have NFL Sundays. This week's Free NFL Picks (71% YTD) can be found here.

How About a Free UFL Pick?

We aren't shy about our affinity for the UFL, which gives us on more football betting option in the even that our college picks ever have two miserable weeks in a row.

And we'll take that affinity one step further with our first Free UFL Pick of the year.

Sacramento Mountain Lions +8 over the Omaha Nighthawks

Omaha is the better team. Omaha has the best home field advantage in the UFL. Omaha could very well win the league, in fact.

But look, nine of the last 13 UFL games have been decided by a touchdown or less. This is a league that, like the NFL, features great parity, and that's what we expect in Omaha tomorrow night. With Jeff Garcia at the helm for the Nighthawks and Daunte Culpepper for the Mountain Lions, this game features the two crown jewels of the 2010 UFL recruiting class. Two of the better quarterbacks in the NFL in the early 2000's will face off, and it'll be up to the players around them to come out with a win. We think Omaha has those players, and we think they'll win. Just not by eight points.

For the record, our Free UFL Picks are, unfortunately, 0-1 all-time. Time to get back to .500!
