(Editor’s note: The following picks where submitted late at night on November 18th, after a Saturday of heavy drinking. I had neither the time, nor the inclination to do it “right”. So while the layout has been modified to the standard two-column format and the intro was added on 12/05/06, the picks [...]

At the halfway point of the season we’re in pretty sorry shape. After posting a 1-3 week last week, Brian dropped below the Mendoza line at 15-16-1. I’m barely doing better, going 2-2 last week and 16-15-1 overall. I don’t have time to do it now, but I’ll edit this soon with a [...]

Last week was a bit unfortunate, with both Brian and I posting matching 1-3 records, bringing our overall marks to 14-13-1. Hopefully with me picking the slate this week, we can avoid falling into complete mediocrity.
On to the picks!

Ravens at Saints (-2)

Jeremy: To hear sports writers tell it, the Saints can’t lose [...]

Brian, apparently, didn’t like my slate last week. At least that’s the impression I got. I could be wrong. As a result, he’s apparently decided to pick 4 “high interest” games that no one in their right mind would actually gamble on. Except the Eagles game. That’s a gimme. Of [...]

So last week was a bit of a debacle. With a late score, the Rams didn’t cover, robbing me of at least a respectable 2-2 weekend. I must say that finishing 1-2-1 was a tad better than Brian’s 0-3-1 mark. Although I don’t know how I feel about these “ties” against the [...]

Brian is picking this week’s slate. The last time this happened, I had my disastrous 1-3 week. You’ll note last weekend I went 3-1 picking the slate. As my not-so-esteemed not-so-colleague Bill Simmons would say, “warrants mentioning”. (It also warrants mentioning that Mr. Simmons went 6-8 last week and is even [...]

Apparently there is a god. And he’s Asian.
How else would you explain going 1-3 last week? In my defense, I would have never actually gambled on any of those games (except, of course, the one I nailed, the Eagles-Niners game). High profile games like the Pats-Broncos? Steelers-Bengals? That emotional Monday [...]

Fuckin’ Steelers.
I was one decent drive away from starting this season 7-1. Because the Steelers decided not to show up on Monday night (and because betting on football is retarded) I’m 6-2. Brian is nipping closely at my heels, at 5-3.
In order to try and gain any edge possible, [...]

Perfection. It’s hard to top, isn’t it?
But we’re going to try, aren’t we? After a perfect 4-0 week against the spread, Brian and I are back with another round of picks. So kick the kids out of school, get a second on the house and call up your bookie. Or don’t…there’s [...]

Are you ready for some football?!
You may remember last year, when Jeff and I picked games throughout the season (you can see last year’s picks here). Well, we’re back with something similar, except this time it’s my friend Brian who’ll be going mano-a-mano with me. Brian’s a die-hard football fan, so it should [...]
