Sports Almanac Picks

Del had a huge week against the spread in Week 8, and it was just what the doctor — not his archrival Doc Brown, of course — ordered. After a mediocre 7-7 showing in Week 7, Del strung together a Vegas beatdown last week with a 9-4-1 …

Doc Brown has enjoyed a couple of solid weeks in a row, including a strong week last week. What does that mean? He actually doesn’t have a great feeling about this week. And Doc differs with Del on way too many picks across the board, which is …

While a 7-7 record against the spread in Week 7 can’t exactly be labeled a disaster, Del is still looking to string together a couple of big weeks to really get things going. The Falcons were a killer with their disappointing effort against the …

Doc and Del are off to a nice start to Week 7 with Thursday night wins from the Seahawks. There is just the right amount of variance between the two experts’ picks. Not all identical picks, but not too many ones differing. That’s …

Del needed to bounce back in a bad way in Week 6, and that is exactly what he did. Following a disappointing Week 5 and a very poor stretch with locks of the week, Del managed to nail his top pick and dominate the spread with a 9-4 showing. As …

Doc Brown is starting to feel a lot more confident about his picks even if the results haven’t proven to be the strongest. This is the week he starts to roll. He has eliminated all outside noise and has a comfortable grip on the season, so hop …

Week 5 was one to forget for Del, and we can only hope it ends up being the low point of the season. Unfortunately, Del has gone ice cold in his locks of the week after coming out of the gate looking seemingly unstoppable. That has to change in Week …

Doc Brown had a miserable Week 4 in the picks. Just about everything except the lock went wrong. When he picked favorites, they lost. When he went dogs, they got blown out. It just didn’t work out. But for every negative, there’s a …

Del was able to grind his way to another winning record of 8-7 in Week 4, but we are still waiting on that huge week to really kick things into gear for the 2015 season. Could this be the week? After posting a rare 0-2 record in locks of the week, …

As promised, both Doc Brown and Del got back on track with their Week 3 picks after a somewhat disappointing Week 2. The Doc killed it with a 10-6 record against the spread and Del wasn’t far behind at 9-7. More importantly, the resident …

Look, Doc Brown’s Week 2 picks were nothing short of a disaster. That’s sort of how things go. You have a solid Week 1, think you know things, and then the Jets go out and be good and stuff and the Bucs pull off a road win and …

Del and Doc Brown took an unfortunate step back in Week 2 after getting off to a strong start to the NFL season, but what do you expect when teams like the Bucs, Raiders and Jaguars all beat their opponents outright? That just goes to show you how …

Doc got off to a more than solid start to the NFL season by posting a 9-6-1 record against the spread in Week 1 and sparkling 13-3 mark straight up. Week 2 should see some strong numbers again as the Doc is feeling good about his picks and has plans …

Week 1 of the NFL season is always a mystery, as we have no idea what we are going to get from most teams. Teams will go from last to first and vice-versa, so picking against the spread is always a challenge at the start of the season. With that in …

Welcome to another NFL season. If there is anything Doc has learned over the years about picking games, it’s whatever Del has picked, do the opposite. Just kidding. Actually, Doc Brown does not like picking games early in the season. He prefers …
