Free 2010 NFL Pro Bowl Picks

As we prepare for non-stop coverage this week leading up to the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV (44), we make a pit stop at the Pro Bowl, played in the Great 48 for the first time in decades.

We are in Miami to cover the Super Bowl, and we will get that chance on Media Day, but we are not going to the Pro Bowl, instead spending time with our trusty laptop in the hotel room--all for your benefit!

So, without further ado, here are our Free 2010 NFL Pro Bowl Picks:

NFC -3 over the AFC

OVER 58

In a game where anything can really happen, we are always tempted to just go with the underdog and take the points. In this case, though, the quarterback play in the AFC is questionable at best, and we just can't bet against the trio of Aaron Rodgers, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo. QB play is everything in the high-scoring Pro Bowl--at least that's what we are banking on.

Speaking of high-scoring, the Pro Bowl almost always is. And in a game where anything can happen, prepare for everything to happen.

If our coverage isn't enough for you, be sure to head on over to Doc's Sports. Check out their Sports Interaction Review or place some bets through them at Pinnacle Sportsbook.

More Super Bowl prop betting analysis will follow today, as well as updates from Miami throughout the week, so make Stock Lemon your home (page) for Super Bowl XLIV (44) coverage!

Advice From Brett Favre

You might have heard a little rumor earlier today that Jets QB Brett Favre contacted the Lions to dish out the goods on his former team prior to Detroit's Week 2 meeting with the Packers. What we've learned, though, is that Favre didn't stop with the Lions. In fact, he gave out plenty of advice to team's before Week 7. Here's what we've learned:

To the New Orleans Saints: I have the consecutive start streak record for quarterbacks, did you know that? Reggie Bush and Jeremy Shockey will be fine. Knee injuries and sports hernias are nothing to worry about--I'm sure they won't aggravate them. I broke me thumb once, and I played. Did I mention I have the record for most starts?

To the Dallas Cowboys: Brad Johnson's won as many Super Bowls as I have, so he must be good. Trust me, you won't need Tony Romo this week.

To the Indianapolis Colts: Look, Peyton Manning, double coverages are your friends. I've thrown so many balls in practice against this secondary, and, well, they've all been picked. But don't let that stop you from throwing to guys that are clearly covered. These safeties are a joke. By the way, if you want to miss a start at any time soon, that'd be great, because that consecutive start streak is mine!

To Stock Lemon: Take the Cowboys, Saints, and Colts this week.

So, yeah, we blame Brett Favre.

Three Free NFL Picks For Sunday

Our Free NFL Picks have been hot this year, hitting 71% with a record of 12-5-1. Once again, we have three picks this week, although that is more of a coincidence than anything. We're also coming off of a 3-0 week, so bet with confidence in our system. Without further adu, here are the picks:

Cowboys -7 over the Rams

Colts -1 1/2 over the Packers

Saints +3 over the Panthers

Even if Tony Romo sits out the Cowboys/Rams game, Marian Barber will run all over the Rams defense. The Rams are coming off a big win over the Redskins last week and will come crashing back down to Earth against Dallas.

Our system also likes the Colts, who seem to have their offense back, as well as the Saints, who continue to get no respect despite the fact that they could easily be 5-1 if not for some questionable officiating/horrible kicking. We expect all three of these road teams to win outright and cover their respective spreads.

Of course, all of our picks are documented, for the non-believers, simply by clicking on the Free NFL Picks tag at the bottom of this post. For the shorter version, here's a week-by-week breakdown of our NFL picks to date:

Week 1: 3-2

Week 2: 2-1

Week 3: 2-1

Week 4: 2-1

Week 5: 0-0-1

Week 6: 3-0

Total: 12-5-1... 71%

Good luck and enjoy another Sunday!

Small Monday Night Free NFL Pick

After a perfect 2-0 day with our Free NFL Picks on Sunday, we have to come back for an encore. Therefore, we have a small play tonight that fits our system.

Dallas Cowboys/Philadelphia Eagles UNDER 48

Although both teams are loaded with offensive weapons, our numbers indicate a defensive struggle for tonight.

The Eagles defense should be able to keep Tony Romo and the explosive Cowboys offense in check, while Terrell Owens name-calling should keep Donovan McNabb from putting up big numbers.

It should be a great game, so sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice Monday Night under to end your football week.
