Sports Almanac Picks

Doc finally bounced back with a big-time 12-4 week ATS and a 13-3 week straight up in Week 13. It’s not supposed to be that easy, which probably means a crash back to earth is coming. Injuries at the quarterback position have created questions …

The 2011 NFL season has officially turned into a perfect model of inconsistency for Del. With the way the picks have gone through the first 12 games of the season, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would be proud. Coming off a disappointing 7-9 performance in …

Doc’s had a rough go of it lately on his top 3, but his picks against the spread and straight up have still been solid. Picking the Seahawks to win straight up Thursday night was a strong start to the week. Hopefully we can take advantage of a …

The type of week we got from Del last week is not the type of week we can afford this late in the game.  With only five weeks remaining in the NFL season, Del now has to try to rebound from a 6-10 week after stringing together a few solid weeks in a …

Doc Brown’s been having a rough time on his picks. We’re down to around .500 on picks against the spread, but with some strong picking the rest of the way, there’s plenty of time to put things together. The Thanksgiving games did …

Another week, another victory for Del. After an 8-4-2 week against the spread and another successful 2-1 in the top-3, it’s safe to say Del is rolling. As it stands, we’re only five games below .500 against the spread on the season. With …

Doc Brown’s had a rough time with his Top 3 the last three weeks, and that was coming off two straight 3-0 sweeps. Doc Brown simply doesn’t slump for four straight weeks, so we expect a turnaround. We’re heavy on the favorites this …

Del’s promise to turn things around in the second half continued to hold true for Week 10, as he finished off another good week 9-7 against the spread.  Our goal of getting the overall ATS percentage back over 50-percent by season’s end …

Doc Brown is coming off a pair of 1-2 weeks on his Top 3. Those were preceded by two 3-0 weeks, so that means it’s time to get back into winning. The Doc is feeling really good about his picks this week, so he’s proud to share them. …

We knew Del needed to pick up the pace in week 9 in order to turn things around for the second half of the season, and that’s exactly what happened. Del cashed in with his best week of the season against the spread, finishing with a solid 9-5 …

The man got even with the public last weekend after a lot of underdogs pulled out wins. Overall, favorites have been covering most games in the NFL leading to plenty of profits. You could tell that the oddsmakers made adjustments to the lines this …

Week 8 = yet another disaster for Del. With half the season in the books, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t starting to worry slightly.  For whatever reason, the spread refuses to allow Del to conquer it.  Needless to say we’ll be …

The Doc has killed it the last two weeks on his top three plays, going 6-0. You know what that means of course, it’s time to go 0-3 to balance things out (I’m joking. Partially). There is something about this week that makes it tricky. Of …

With all the close spreads across the board last week when we released our Week 7 picks against the spread, Del had a feeling he was facing a challenge.  Unfortunately, he was right.  Del struggled once again and reverted to his early-season form, …

Doc Brown has really picked things up and put together a nice 10-3 week last weekend against the spread. That was good enough to win the LBS Challenge picks pool. We’ll see if we can keep it rolling in week 7. Here are the picks, with analysis …

Those of you who have committed yourselves to reading our weekly NFL picks are likely aware that Doc and Del appear to be back on track. After struggling in the early going, Doc Brown has eclipsed the 50-percent mark with both his overall picks …
