Sports Almanac Picks

It’s official, folks — picking NFL games is no longer fun. The 2013 season has completely gotten away from Del, who posted a 6-8 record against the spread last week that included 0-3 in the so-called “locks” of the week. …

The picks this season have been disastrous for Doc and Del, and there are only six weeks left to make a turnaround and head for .500 town. The only good news is Doc locked in for a 2-1 week on the Top 3, which is no small victory these days. …

Unfortunately, Del has run out of commentary to go along with his pathetic picks for the 2013 season. 4-8-3 against the spread last week. 0-2-2 with the locks of the week. It’s getting worse when it desperately needed to get better. You know …

Doc has already abandoned the Costanza Plan after only one week. You go .500 and don’t see many good results, and that causes you to abandon things. The past four weeks have really been a rotten run for the Doc. Is Vegas raking in the dough and …

At this point, all we can really do is roll our weekly picks out there and see what happens. Del followed up an abysmal 2-11 week against the spread in Week 9 with a less-than-impressive 6-8 record in Week 11. The only positive we can take from last …

Doc has been destroyed on his picks over the past few weeks. Frankly, it’s been embarrassing. So we’re trying out a new strategy this week, and it already worked on the Thursday night game. We’re going with the Costanza plan. If …

Last week was a complete embarrassment. That’s pretty much all I can say. There’s no excuse for going 2-11 against the spread and 0-3 in the supposed “top three” selections, but Del figured out a way to do it. Simply put, we …

The best part about having so many NFL teams on byes this week is there are fewer chances for us pick games wrong this week. That’s always a good thing, right? Well after two bad weeks in a row, it’s time for a bounce-back week. …

Now that we have reached the halfway point in the NFL season, it will be crucial for Del to establish some consistency going forward. Last week, Del posted an impressive 8-5 record against the spread while going 2-1 in the top three. If we can string …

Last week was absolutely dreadful for Doc Brown. A total week to forget. 0-3 on the Top 3 picks, and the rest didn’t do much better. But that means we’re primed for a turnaround this week. There’s a game in London with weather being …

This is getting very difficult to sugarcoat. After bouncing back with some impressive work against the spread in Week 6, Del is finding it difficult to gain momentum. Week 7 did not go very well, as we went a measly 5-10 against the spread and 1-2 …

Doc is starting to post some respectable percentages on his season picks and has been on a roll the past three weeks. With just another week or two of good picks, we’ll be back at our usual expert level. So let’s take a look at the NFL …

And the roller coaster continues. Del bounced back from a rough week of picks in Week 5 to post an impressive 9-6 record against the spread in Week 6, including 2-1 in the top three. As a result, we have inched a lot closer to that 50% mark we have …

Doc Brown has been delivering on his NFL picks the last two weeks and has rallied to post a respectable season number against the spread of over .500. That trend will hopefully continue this week. One problem is there are so many question marks. …

Del was hoping to keep the momentum from Week 4 going last week, but it turned out to be short-lived. Week 5 did not go that well and the top three selections struggled once again. That doesn’t mean we’re giving up hope, as there’s …

The Doc struck back last week with a strong week that would have looked even stronger had he been able to change away from the Raiders after learning that Terrelle Pryor would not be starting. But now we know Pryor will start in Week 5, which has …
