88% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks Look to Continue Run


Ah we love the college football postseason... even if it really isn't a postseason. For as much whining as we do about the current format that prevents a playoff system, we are not complaining this year. Our Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks are off to a 7-1 start (88%) after Miami (OH) covered with a win over Middle Tennessee State in some arbitrary bowl Thursday.

And we're not done yet.

We are picking cotton for Friday's bowl game, as Texas A&M faces the LSU Tigers.

LSU -2 over Texas A&M

We've always had a great deal of respect for the Cotton Bowl, ever since the GoDaddy.com bowl was played. Seriously. GoDaddy.com bowl. This is a good match-up but ultimately LSU should have the edge (as the spread might indicate).

Plenty more playoff action remains, both in the NCAA and the NFL, so don't geaux anywhere!

Our 86% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks Return Thursday


After a Stanford cover in the Orange Bowl, our Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks improved to 86% (6-1) this bowl season... and we aren't done yet.

Yes, even the obscure and pointless bowls have our attention, and we'll prove it with a pick on Thursday in the... GoDaddy.com Bowl. Sigh.

Miami (OH) +2 over Middle Tennessee State

Good luck and stay with us throughout the remainder of college football's poor excuse for a postseason and into the NFL Playoffs, where our Free NFL Picks hope to find similar success as our college bowl picks have.

Stock Orange: 83% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks Hit the Orange Bowl


Our 83% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks look to continue with the postseason success with a pick in our favorite bowl of the year: the Lemon Bowl.

Or, the Orange Bowl, close enough. A citrus fruit is a citrus fruit.

Stanford -3 1/2 over Virginia Tech

Andrew Luck and the Cardinal should prove the better team, with the better pro prospect at the helm. The best, actually. Early reports have Luck as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft to the hapless Carolina Panthers, so this might be his last game with a winning team in five years. Look for him to take advantage.

Free NFL Picks End Regular Season at 60%


What a ride the 2010 NFL regular season has been. Our Free NFL Picks ended with a 3-1 Week 17 (turns out we should have bought the hook in the Giants/Redskins game), putting us at our stated goal of 60% for the regular season.

Of course, we are far from through. The road to the Super Bowl begins next week with the 12-team NFL tournament, and you can bet that we will be all over the playoffs with our Free NFL Picks.

But for now, we'll take a sigh of relief that things haven't gone horribly wrong and that we could earn some extra cash to start off the new year.

Stay with us throughout 2011, as we continue with our 83% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks, finally roll out some more of our 100% Free NHL Picks (of course, we have only bet three games, and none in the last two weeks) and continue our Free NFL Picks until and through our expansive coverage of the 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) in Dallas, Texas.

Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks Now 83%


It feels good to be winning, but we can't help but think of how much more profitable this bowl season could be if we would stop wimping out on some of our borderline picks. Like Oklahoma's obvious win over UConn tonight.

We held off on what would have been a system play due to a few wild card factors, and Oklahoma proved that we should have went with our original pick.

Regardless, we did cover on the Rose Bowl, with Wisconsin scraping out a +3 spread over TCU, giving us a win today and a 5-1 bowl record (83%).

While we wish we were betting on a few more games, the ones we have been picking have been producing. So for now, we'll take our 100% 2011 record to the bank.

A New Year For Our Free NFL Picks (59% YTD)


Our Free NFL Picks have been hot all year until limping into 2011, but now that the calendar has turned we expect our luck to turn as well.

Week 17 is tough with many teams benching their studs, so pick your spots wisely.

Texans -3 over the Jaguars

Lions -3 1/2 over the Vikings

Chargers -3 1/2 over the Broncos

Giants -3 1/2 over the Redskins

Three is a magic number. Or more like three and a half. We'll see if we shoulda bought the hook, but these are the best plays on the board in what should be another crazy, albeit final week in the NFL's regular season

Our First Free Pick of 2011!


Happy New Year, lemonheads!

Our 2010 ended on a sour note, knocking our Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks to 80% (4-1). Fortunately, it's a new year and a clean slate, and that's just roses to us.

Wisconsin +3 over TCU

Either Wisconsin wins this in a blowout or TCU wins it in a close one, so the +3 gives us some leeway there. Though not disrespecting TCU, they have a hell of a team, this is a case where we think the big conference team will win.

Good luck and may we all have a profitable 2011!
