Sports Almanac Picks

Football is back, baby. It may seem like it was just last weekend that Peyton Manning was raising his second Lombardi Trophy, but we assure you it was not. A fresh season is upon us. How fresh? So fresh even Cleveland Browns fans might be hopeful …

The only good thing about Week 16 was that it wasn’t the final week of the NFL season. Del would absolutely hate to go out with a 3-13 week against the spread, which is why we are in need of a major bounce-back to close out the year. …

With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, Del is officially scorching hot. Last week’s 10-5-1 record against the spread means we have gone 22-9-1 over the past two weeks. If you’ve been paying attention and rolling with …

After a stretch of two brutal weeks, Doc Brown finally turned things around with a 10-6 week ATS in Week 14, and a 2-1 week on the top 3. Doc’s off to a strong start in Week 15 after nailing the Thursday night game as well. That means things …

Del is aiming to close out the 2015 season with a bang, and a 12-4 record against the spread in Week 14 is a great way to get the stretch run started. Our lock of the week was once again good, getting us back into the green on locks and well above …

Doc Brown has taken it on the chin the past two weeks and been knocked down harder than Jose Aldo. But you know what champion pickers like Doc Brown do? They dust themselves off and get back up and continue picking winners. Yes, after two bad weeks …

Del took a beating against the spread in Week 13 with a 7-9 record, but the good news is we hit our one lock of the week and have finally gotten back to .500 with locks. We’ll be looking to finish strong with those over the final four weeks of …

Week 12 was an absolute disaster zone for Doc Brown. 5-11 and 0-3 on locks is utterly shameful. That is not how Doc represents his great name and this great site. Much better results lie ahead in Week 13 (so he hopes). One thing to note about the …

After another winning week (9-7) against the spread, Del has established a bit of a rhythm as we head into the final stretch of the season. We still need to pick it up with locks of the week, which were 1-1 last week. Del is well above the 50-percent …

Doc Brown has now posted five consecutive winning weeks in the picks and is producing some very solid percentages. The only thing that needs to be picked up are the top 3 picks, which have been pathetic this season. Doc likes the Bills, Browns and …

You didn’t expect anything less than a winning week from Del after that abysmal Week 10 performance, did you? Del set out to bounce back in a big way, and an 8-5-1 week against the spread while also hitting the lock of the week accomplished …

Doc had another solid week on the picks and has made it about four in a row. He is climbing up the percentage charts with strong success rates, except the one area that is lacking is the locks. The Falcons have been an up-and-down team that seem to …

Del can only hope Week 10 is as bad as it gets. A 4-10 week against the spread is an absolute killer, and a 3-11 record straight up is enough to make you feel like you haven’t watched a single NFL game all season. While Del has never been one …

Doc Brown has been having some success lately on the picks. He’s coming off a 9-4 week, 8-5 week and 9-5 week on the picks in Weeks 9-7, respectively. That was enough to get his season totals back to a respectable level, although the locks sure …

You want the good news or the bad news first? Fine, we’ll start with the bad. Del’s locks of the week struggled again in Week 9. We should have never switched from the Giants to the Steelers, but that’s what happens when you go …

Doc has enjoyed two solid weeks in a row on the picks and is starting to feel pretty good about his grasp on the NFL. Of course, every time one thinks that is the case, that’s when the league pulls the proverbial rug out from under you and …
