Playing the Odds: NFL Week 6
Guess who’s back?
The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had a decent [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 4
As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and [...]

Jeremy Shockey’s days in the Big Apple are now over.
ESPN is reporting that the New York Giants traded tight end Jeremy Shockey to the Orleans Saints for a second and fifth-round draft pick. As usual, the deal will be made official once Shockey receives a mandatory physical.

Rehabbing Deuce McAllister plans to break loose for Saints in 2008
The Saints were a huge disappointment in 2007, and a big reason for that was when running back Deuce McAllister went down in Week 3 with a torn ACL. His injury basically meant Reggie Bush had to carry a bigger load, and it’s fairly obvious now that Bush’s body just isn’t made for that, as [...]
