Mock Lemon: 2010 NFL Mock Draft Results

In the end, you never know what's going to happen at the NFL Draft. But that can't stop you from trying.

Our Mock Draft netted a grand total of five correct picks. We nailed the first three (so did everyone else), including Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford going first overall to the Rams, and came away with the correct predictions for picks 17 and 19.

The bottom line is that it's a crapshoot, unlike our Free NFL Picks, which have hit at 61% over the last few years. A little early to be pimping our Free NFL Picks? Maybe so, but if you found us through the NFL Mock Draft, be sure to find us later when the stakes are a little higher.

We promise there won't be anything to mock.

With the First Pick in the 2010 NFL Draft...

We will get to our complete mock draft on Monday, but we won't leave you in suspense all weekend. The first pick in the 2010 NFL Draft will be...

Sam Bradford! Quarterback, Oklahoma.

Now the only problem is figuring out who will draft him.

Although the Rams currently hold that pick, there is a good chance that another team, namely Mike Holmgren and the quarterback collecting Browns, jumps at the opportunity to trade for the No. 1 overall pick and select Bradford.

Coming off of major shoulder surgery and given the success rate (or sometimes lack thereof) of quarterbacks selected in Round 1, Bradford isn't exactly a safe pick this year. Still, quarterbacks are hard to come by, and recent first rounders like Mark Sanchez, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco leading their teams to playoff berths as rookies has to be in the back of everyone's mind. Especially bottom feeders like the Rams and Browns have been.

Like we said, the rest of our 2010 NFL Mock Draft is soon to follow. Stay tuned!

BCS Championship Game Pick

It's been a fun year of college football (aside from the continuing lack of a playoffs system), but as they say, all good things must come to and end.

That end for our Free NCAA Football Picks is the BCS Championship Game between Florida and Oklahoma. In what is essentially a home game for Florida, we were faced with a choice.

Do we put our money on the Sooners, who boast the Heisman Trophy winning Sam Bradford? Or, do we bet on the Gators, who boast the Lemmy Award winning Gator Bait message board?

In the end, it was an easy decision.

Florida -4 1/2 over Oklahoma

Since apparently this is a pretty big game, we thought we'd get our pick out a day early, giving you plenty of time to check it out.

Good luck and congratulations on making it through another bowl season without having to take out a second mortgage on your house. Well, at least not because of any bets you made.

Oklahoma Gives Us a Winning Day

Heading into tonight's Oklahoma/Texas Tech match-up, our Free NCAA Football Picks were a pedestrian 2-2-1 on the day. Fortunately, we decided--after much deliberation--that Oklahoma did qualify as a Free NCAA Football Pick as touchdown favorites, and Sam Bradford and Co. made us proud.

Bradford threw four touchdowns in Oklahoma's 65-21 stomping of Texas Tech, giving us a 3-2-1 day. The winning day puts our picks at 55%, but 64% in the last 7 weeks. Here's the weekly breakdown:

Week 1: 1-2

Week 2: 2-2

Week 3: 3-2

Week 4: 3-1

Week 5: 0-5

Week 6: 1-1

Week 7: 2-1

Week 8: 2-0

Week 9: 3-1

Week 10: 5-4

Week 11: 2-0

Week 12: 1-2

Week 13: 3-2-1

Total: 28-23-1... 55%

Last 7 Weeks: 18-10-1... 64%

We look forward to some conference championships next weekend and then it's on to bowl season.
