OK, so I had a rough week in week 10. 6-8-1 isn't pretty. That puts me at 86-71-4 On top of that I went 0-5 with my locks. Ouch. Teaches me to lock anything up. Or does it! Here are my picks with a few locks.


1. Panthers -3 hosting Miami. I'm a Dolphins fan so I really hope my picks have the same effect they did last week, but this is about as tough a spot as there could be for Mi

This is my 1st post venture in the world of predictions

After reading my post I felt that I should give some incentive as to why you should continue to read on after the above line!!!

My record against the spread the past 5 weeks is 46-22 and 10-5 in week 10.
Straight up I'm listed on the 1st page of the CBS Pick'em contest with over a 100 wins.

Miami (4-5) +3/42.5 at Carolina (4-5)

There’s not much separating these two teams at this point. Identical records, fairly average offenses, and problems on defense (Miami against the pass, Carolina against the run.) Losing Brown for the season and (maybe)Fasano for this game won’t help the cause for Miami. Carolina could be without Hoover ...(more)

Chicago (4-4) +3/43.5 at San Francisco (3-5)

Both teams reach the middle of the season as mid-level outfits. I've got San Francisco at 19 overall, Chicago at 20. Chicago has been bad on the road this season going 1-3 SU and ATS with a significant drop in numbers on both sides of the ball. San Francisco is .500 both ways at home. I'll go with that tren ...(more)

I look for the Giants to start off their second half of the season with an impressive win over the Falcons.
Matt Ryan seems to be digressing and Turner being out is a big loss. Giants get Ross back to help out the secondary as well.

Was a bit shocked at the Colts/Ravens point spread this week. Of course, I thought the same when I saw the Broncos/Redskins point spread

Prisco..you an AZZZ!!!!!!! You pick the Seahawks over the vikes. Why do you hate them so much? Seriously you pick against the vikings every chance you can. An that is why you suck as a columnist. You don't know crap! It's in the dome. They don't have a healthy QB or RB. Go away will you...

(POLL) For nights picks. The Titans are on the roll and the Texans are at home and hungry. Will the Texans stomp the Titans tonight? Only time will tell. What is the lock? Titans are a 4 point underdog?? And the Texans are favorites, there is something weird going on here. Well don't think to much, it is easier than it looks. Take the TITANS and UNDER. I really like the over but with Vince Young coming o ...(more)

Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers (-3) Thursday…8:20 PM

This game will feature two teams fighting to get into the playoffs and desperately needing this win to keep those hopes alive. I believe that the Miami defense will play well against the run like they have done much of the year. The secondary gets beat by big WR not a guy like Steve Smith ...(more)

Has Harmon even seen the Browns offense, or has he only read the statistics?? The Browns defense may be able to hold the Lions for a while, but when your offense usually goes 3 and out every series, the defense starts to wear down after awhile.

Plus, how can any team keep the defense on edge when all you see are short 5 yard passes or screen passes that go for lost yardage? The team en

Stop picking against the Vikings!

So far, you've picked them to be 2-8 and you are 3-6 picking their games, and you will be 3-7 after the Vikings make short work of the Seahawks on Sunday. I don't know why, but you picked the Browns, Lions, Rams, Seahawks and Packers (twice) to beat them. The only time you've been right was when you picked the Steelers to beat them and the 49ers and Lio
