NFL Week One Game of the Week

The NFL is finally here, and if you're looking for a site to provide you with winning picks week in and week out, look no further--you're already there.

Here at Stock Lemon, we will provide you with the top plays from our proven system each and every week.

Just as we do in NCAA Football with our Free NCAA Football Picks, we will have a game of the week in the NFL, followed by the rest of our Free NFL Picks.

That being said, here's our Game of the Week for the opening weekend of the NFL:

Cincinnati Bengals -2 over the Baltimore Ravens

Chad Ocho Cinco and the Bengals should be able to handle the one-point spread, or uno-point spread if you will. Although the Bengals defense is not the greatest, the same can be said for the Ravens entire team.

Baltimore's D just isn't what it used to be, and unfortunately for them their offense still is what it used to be, only worse. Look for Carson Palmer to hit his newly-named target all day long. Ray Lewis and the once-proud Ravens defense simply won't be able to stop them.

Good luck and keep checking back for more NFL picks, including a few more for Sunday's games.

Three Free NCAA Football Picks

Aside from our Game of the Week, we have three more Free NCAA Football Picks this weekend.

Minnesota +5 over Bowling Green

Texas Tech -9 over Nevada

Memphis -3 over Rice

There is a lot of value in these three games, which all of blow-out potential.

Good luck and enjoy a football-filled weekend. Don't forget to check back and see what we have to say about the opening games in the NFL as well!

More College Football Action This Weekend

We are back with our Game of the Week for tomorrow's NCAA Football action, and will have a couple of more plays later on.

West Virginia -7 over East Carolina

Even on the road, WVU is as solid a play as you'll find on the board this week, so get on this one big. Pat White and the Mountaineers should make a mockery of that seven point spread.

Good luck and stay tuned for a couple other Free NCAA Football Picks prior to Saturday's slate of games.

Oklahoma State Covers Easily

The Oklahoma State Cowboys crushed the Washington State Cougars today, 39-13.

Mike Gundy is a man, and his team almost scored 40 to cover the -6 spread and give us our first Free NCAA Pick win of the 2008 season.

Check back for more winners throughout the NCAA football season here at Stock Lemon.

Michigan Also A Free NCAA Football Pick

In addition to our two earlier plays, we are adding another Free NCAA Football Pick.

Michigan -3 over Utah

We think Rich Rodriguez and his spread offense will be too much for the Utes to handle in the season opener. The Rodriguez era should get off to a good start today.

The game is a little over an hour away, so get the pick in as fast as possible!

Good luck!

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!

Balogh Gets Chopped From Bears

Back in April, we mentioned the free agent signing of former Montana tackle Cody Balogh by the Chicago Bears. The choice was interesting to us given the fact that Balogh is best remembered for throwing a nasty chop block at an opposing defensive lineman in college, and we felt compelled to let the fine readers here at Stock Lemon to protect their knees if they ever make their way into the Chicago area.

It appears now that Balogh will also be remembered for being released by the Chicago Bears.

The Bears will cut the "Balogh the belt blocker" along with many others in order to reach the 53-man roster limit. Chicago felt its young runners would benefit more from standard, legal blocking techniques to start the season, making Balogh expendable.

While it's sad to see a Stock Lemon favorite like Balogh get chopped, what goes around comes around we suppose.
