NFL Picks of the Week

Wow did it get cold in here or is it just me, 0-fer yesterday, you would now be up only 80 schrute bucks.

1. Cleveland ML Baltimore
2. Houston -3, Under 39.5
3. Dallas -6, Indy -4, SD -5. The Bill Simmons special. The SG loves the big favorite teased, so lets just do them all at once in a 3teamer.

No cheerleader if I go O-fer the picks before.

NCAA Picks of the Week

Wow, a horrible Sunday going 0-3 and picks and the Bears getting embarrassed on SNF (that just doesnt look right to me). Was up 680 Schrute Bucks, and an 0fer puts us at +380. Onto the picks of the week.

1. Bama +110 FSU
2. Ore -6 Cal and over 73
3. Lets go with a 4 team teaser, since I can not seem to eliminate one of these, all of which are big numbers. UCF -27.5 ULL, Duke +30 Mia, Rut -12.5 Md, UF -12 Aub

Good luck this week and remember this is for fun only. Gambling is illegal and bad.

NFL Picks of the Week

Not a bad saturday, hit the Kentucky Moneyline for +240 (+240), the teaser lost (-100), and the parlay had a winner and a tie so the parlay is not a winner, but you would have gotten paid on the Cinci line (+90). All that equals a plus 230 for the week in Schrute bucks bringing your total to 680 schrute bucks. Now onto todays NFL games.

1. Arizona +280 Baltimore (lots of good moneyline picks)
2. Cleveland +145 over 41 Oakland (like I said)
3. Minnesota +8.5 KC, Detroit +12.5 Eagles, Arizona +14.5 Baltimore (all dogs getting more points)

Enjoy todays action and Go Bears this evening.

Wagering Recap and MNF

Prior to this weekends results, if you "wagered" on my picks, you would have 510 schrute bucks. After this week, with 4 losers and 2 winner (Oregon -16.5 with the over of 63.5 Fresno State, and the 3 team NFL tease) you would still be up 550 schrute bucks (or a nice profit of 40 schrute bucks) which isn't really that bad. As a recap....


1. Minn ML Detroit (LOSER)
2. Houston +6 Under 39 Carolina (LOSER)
3. Dallas +2.5, Seattle +3.5, Pitt -3.5 (WINNER +180)

1. Wash U +165 Ohio St Team that has looked good at home vs a team that has looked bad on the road. (LOSER)
2. Oregon -16.5 Over 63.5 Fresno St (WINNER +260)
3. Syracuse Ill Under 49, ULMonroe +29.5 A&M, Colorado +9.5 FSU (LOSER)

For tonights MNF, lets wager 100 fictional schrute bucks on Philly -1 teased with the under of 44.5. A couple trends for tonights game, Wash is 3-7 last 10 MNF, Under is 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings, Favorite is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings, Home team is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. If I was cocky and riding a little bit better of a streak, I would normally parlay it, I like both lines, but i'll tease it and should be a lock by 3rd Quarter.

NFL Picks of Week 2

This weeks NFL games look good on paper, several good matchups, last week was a great week with the NFL picks, lets see if we can keep the momentum going. Status is up 510 schrute bucks with 300 of those spoken for on the NCAA picks. These picks are for fun only, no actual gambling should occur based on my prognostications. Past results do not guarantee future results.

As a recap every week, I will make 3 picks.

1st pick will be a moneyline wager
2nd pick will be a same game parlay
3rd pick will be the dreaded 3 team teaser.


1. Minn ML Detroit
2. Houston +6 Under 39 Carolina
3. Dallas +2.5, Seattle +3.5, Pitt -3.5

NCAA Picks of the Week

Last week was a great week, if you would have followed my advice, you would be up 510 Schrute Bucks, even with my disastrous moneyline parlay on MNF. It was a shot in the dark for the big bucks, but lets face it, it was really close to paying out.

As a recap every week, I will make 3 picks.

1st pick will be a moneyline wager
2nd pick will be a same game parlay
3rd pick will be the dreaded 3 team teaser.

As always these are for fun and each wager is for 100 schrute bucks.

1. Wash U +165 Ohio St Team that has looked good at home vs a team that has looked bad on the road.
2. Oregon -16.5 Over 63.5 Fresno St
3. Syracuse Ill Under 49, ULMonroe +29.5 A&M, Colorado +9.5 FSU

ESPN is No Longer the WWL

I remember when i used to rely on espn.com for my sports information, then over the last couple years the former World Wide Leader has gone downhill (well documented everywhere so wont provide links). I did not think it could get worse after its "who's now" But, I think they may have taken the cake with this, after every week of the NFL, espn does their Power Rankings. Guess who #4 is, I will give you 8 guesses (assuming most people would take the teams that won first, then teams that lost in close games second, or the inherent fact that the AFC is better than the NFC) Go ahead make your guesses, now see the Top 10.


Right there Number 4, best team in the NFC the Bears, who looked pathetic on offense. The Bears who lost one of their best defenders, and a second defender. I understand if that was a preseason game and these were preseason rankings, but does espn really think the Bears are the 4th best team in the league. Almost as shocking is the Ravens at 7th despite a loss, 6 turnovers, and several key injuries. I am not sure why I even go to espn.com anymore. I wish espn.com would go the way of Page 3.

Gambling Summary and MNF

As a recap here are my picks for the week, for record keeping sake, lets say i risked 100 Schrute Bucks on each game.

1. Tulane +190 Mississippi St (-100)
2. Oklahoma -10.5 Miami Under 43 (-100)
3. UAB +41.5 FSU, LSU -5 VTech, LSU VTech over 32 (+300)

+100

1. Green Bay +150 Eagles (+150)
2. Pats -6.5 Over 41 (+280)
3. Denver +3, Seattle even, Dallas even (+180)

+610

My apologies on the 4th team in the tease, only put 3 in, so the payout was a little less. A good week, with my advice you would have been up 710 Schrute Bucks.

Lets ride this winning streak, into a big Monday Night Parlay.
Ravens ML (+125) and Buzzsaw (+155) 100 schrute bucks to win 470.

Picks of the Week

It is almost a cliche to have a blog and do NFL or NCAA picks each week, as I love cliches, this is the first of my weekly picks based blog post. As required by law, these picks are for recreational purposes only, as Judge Smails would say, "Gambling is illegal at Bushwood, and I never slice". To be a little different than the other blogs out there i am doing my picks a little different, I am going have 3 picks a week, but not your standard picks. If you don't know what these bets mean well you would have stopped reading this blog after the first sentence, so I won't insult either of you readers as to what the bets mean. These bets may or may not have reasons/stats to back them up. They may be college, pro, both or a combination thereof.

1st pick will be a moneyline wager
2nd pick will be a same game parlay
3rd pick will be the dreaded 3 team teaser.

Well, onto this weeks picks
1. Tulane +190 Mississippi St
2. Oklahoma -10.5 Miami Under 43
3. UAB +41.5 FSU, LSU -5 VTech, LSU VTech over 32
