Let's Go Bowling!

NCAA Football Bowl season begins today and we have a pick on both games!

Wyoming +10.5 over Fresno State

Central Florida +3 over Rutgers

It's a dog day afternoon to start bowl season... at least we hope so.

Good luck!

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 24-26

The NFL Draft is growing closer and closer, but for now, you'll have to settle for our 2009 NFL Mock Draft. 

We're in the mid-twenties now in our third-to-last set of three picks, and these three are all about the pass catchers. 

24. Falcons: Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State

The Falcons have a few other needs, namely on the defensive line, but tight end is a glaring need as well and with the best tight end in the draft still available, Pettigrew should be the pick here. He's got great hands and, better yet, he can block. He's truly a complete tight end and an athletic freak, so the Falcons shouldn't need too much time to make this pick. 

25. Dolphins: Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers

Several teams late in the first round are looking at Britt, but we think the Dolphins will pull the trigger before the other teams get a chance. Of course, there are a few other similarly talented WRs that the Dolphins could go for, but we think the Phins will Phall (lame) for Britt and his tremendous size and skill set. 

26. Ravens: Darius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland

The Ravens are one of those teams that could be looking at Britt, but they'll take Heyward-Bey at this point, and might even feel like he's more talented than the previous pick. Heyward-Bey isn't the best receiver in the draft, but some wild-card projections have him going as high as seventh overall, before any of his peers. He's a fast riser and, well, a fast runner--probably the quickest pass catcher in the draft. 

That's all for today, folks. But be sure to check out the final installments of our 2009 NFL Mock Draft tomorrow and Thursday, with a recap and some other draft analysis on Friday. Of course, make sure you also check out the first 23 picks, located conveniently on the upper right hand side of this site. 

Afternoon Plays Go 2-2-1

Hopefully, you ignored us when we told you to stay tuned for more picks after our first three were posted.

Those first three Free NCAA Football Picks went 2-0-1 earlier today with the following results:

The pick: Rutgers -18 over Army
The result: Rutgers 30, Army 3 (Win)

As expected, Army finally received their blow out.

The pick: Clemson -3 over Virginia
The result: Clemson 13, Virginia 3 (Win)

Sloppy game, but Clemson got the job done.

The pick: Boise State -7 over Nevada
The result: Boise State 41, Nevada 34 (Push)

Can't believe Boise State let this one get so close. We thought those first three picks would be 3-0, but a poor second half by the Broncos changed that.

Then, of course, we had to go and spoil it with two stinkers in consecutive posts. So we're sitting at 2-2-1 with on play pending.

Another Batch of Free NCAA Football Picks

Last week, our Free NCAA Football Picks suffered a losing week for the first time in seven weeks. Regardless, they are hitting 65% in the last six weeks (15-8) and hopefully will remain hot closing out the season and eventually heading into bowl season. We have four picks as of right now but there could be more coming, so stay tuned.

Rutgers -18 over Army

We're banking on Scarlet prevailing in the battle of the colored Knights, although Rutgers hasn't been great this year. Then again, neither has Army. The one thing about Army, though, is that they make sure to keep their losses just close enough, so they haven't been doing too badly against the spread. Our system indicates that this is the blowout they've been waiting for.

Clemson -3 over Virginia

Clemson is simply the matter team. Definitely. Maybe. Hopefully.

Boise St. -7 over Nevada

The BCS busting Broncos will continue to screw everything up. Except this bet.

That's it for now, but there's one more game that we just have to confirm, and potentially more before kickoffs.

NCAA Football Kicks Off!

The 2008 NCAA Football season kicked off on Thursday, and we've been waiting all summer for some college football action.

Last year, we started posting our betting advice and free picks--free!--after the conclusion of the college football season, but this year we are ready to go on opening weekend. Here are our two biggest Free NCAA Football Picks for the first of many great Saturdays to come:

Fresno State +5 over Rutgers

Oklahoma State -6 over Washington State

We expect Fresno State to surprise Rutgers, but our biggest play is with Oklahoma State. We think Mike Gundy will be screaming, "I'm a man! We won by 40!" after this one.

Good luck and enjoy the gridiron action!

Oilers and Coyotes Cover

In our first Free NHL picks of the year, both the Edmonton Oilers and the Phoenix Coyotes not only covered, but also won straight up. The Coyotes took care of the Stars 5-2, while the Oilers edged the Sharks 3-2, giving our Free NHL Picks two quick and easy wins.

As far as our Free NCAA Basketball Pick, Rutgers lost to West Virginia by 18, which was exactly what the line was set at, giving us a push. We always think of pushing, or tying, as kissing our sister, but it was Valentine's Day so we'll allow it.

Stay with us for daily free picks from a variety of sports. Did we mention that they are completely free?

Free NCAA Basketball Pick As Well

Aside from bringing your our first Free NHL Picks, we've also got a solid Free NCAA Basketball Pick tonight. We've talked it over with Don Imus, and we're going to go with the Nappy Headed Bros tonight.

Rutgers +18 over West Virginia

This one looks real good to us tonight, so good luck!
