Barry Bonds Steroids, Perjury Trial Opens Today

The bang of the judge’s gavel in Barry Bonds’s steroids/PED/perjury will hopefully be the first carronade salvo against steroid/PED cheats in sports. Roger Clemens, stand up and take notice: that is if you can somehow overcome the psychological damage the drugs did to your brain. Meanwhile Timid Tim Finchem, the incredible shrinking PGA Tour Commissioner...

Another 3-1 week and 1-1 in teasers brings the season totals on my NFL picks to 39-17 and 17-11 in teasers. GREEN LIGHT! Jets at BEARS OVER 28.5 – Remember last week when 30 was the lowest number and we won with the over? We get a free 1.5 this week. Book it. Ravens +3 at BROWNS. Who owns who in this series?

Week 15 NFL Picks

After a 3-1 week, (1-1 in teasers) the season tally stands at 36-16 and 16-10 in teasers. From the “I’m stupid for picking that game” department, my only loss was the QB-less Chiefs who played more like Chefs against the Fighting Norvs. My bad…and it cost me a $30 lunch against Gary Schulz, who still owes me from the week before...

Week 14 NFL Picks and Analysis of Betting Trends

Interesting analysis this week in our picks. There were ten games – all based on point spread, not over-under – that all attracted me…but each one I was looking at the road team.

Week 12 NFL Picks

Ernesto and I went 5-1 last week, 2-1 in teasers, which brings the season totals to 31-15 overall, 14-9 in teasers, which is pretty good considering Vegas insiders have been haranguing me all week saying, “I’ll bet you that you’re down for the rest of the year, Jay. Teasers lose at between a 13-15% clip.” Yes, but not when experienced hands...

Week 10 NFL Football Picks

Another good week – 2-0 in picks, 1-0 in teasers – leaves the season totals at 12-8 in teasers and 26-14 overall. We hit last week with the Jets over the BROWNS and the OVER 31 in Patriots at STEELERS. This weeks picks! GREEN LIGHT! ravens -3 at PANTHERS.
