My two cents worth

9:26 AM   My NFL picks went 3-1 yesterday, and are now 70% for the season.
Season Totals- NFL: 21-9, NCAA 31-28

6:26 PM   There are no NCAA picks this week, but here are four NFL games.
Cleveland +6, San Diego +2.5, Carolina +2.5, Houston +1

6:31 PM   It was a mediocre week overall, but the NFL picks continue to win.
Week: NFL 2-1, NCAA 1-2
Year to Date: NFL: 18-8, NCAA: 31-28

9:33 AM   My picks have been pretty good lately, but I don't think I can endorse them this week, they don't look too good to me. They are what they are, computer picks.
NFL: NY Giants +3, Baltimore -8, Buffalo +1
NCAA: Idaho +21, Washington St. -11, Eastern Michigan +18.5.
For some reason the computer picks Idaho every week and it is wrong every week.

11:42 AM   My college picks were 4-3 this weekend. No NFL games met the qualification so I did not make any pick in the NFL
Records: NFL 16-7, NCAA 30-26

9:25 AM   NCAA picks for this weekend:
Utah St. +7.5, Iowa +3.5, Idaho +17.5, Wyoming +23, Louisiana Tech -4.5, Kansas +22, Colorado +3

2:33 PM   My NFL picks continue to be winners this season:
Records to Date: NFL 16-7, NCAA 26-23

2:12 PM   What does a statistician do? Have you ever wondered, or if you are a statistician like me and people ask you what you do, how do you explain it? Here is an article written by Bradley Efron, President of the American Statistical Association that tries to explain it, and here is a paragraph from that article.

A legitimate answer to the what-do-statisticians-do question is "everything." In the past few months I’ve heard statistics department seminars touching on medicine, biology, sociology, geology (image analysis), particle physics, and chemistry. Statistics departments tend to annoy university and business administrators by not fitting neatly into the organization chart, sprawling across division and school lines. One of the real charms of statistics is the opportunity to peek into everyone else’s science business. In an age of specialization, we might be the last remaining scientific generalists.

1:27 PM   There are not a lot of games worth risking this week.
NCAA - Louisiana Tech +4.5, Southern Miss. -5.5, Iowa St. +6
NFL - San Diego -6

1:11 PM   Well, just as most predictions in the NFL have been way off this year, the Washington Redskins/presidently election prediction was also wrong.

10:10 AM   Since the Washington Redskins lost to Green Bay yesterday does that mean that John Kerry will be elected president tomorrow? The outcome of the Redskins last home game before a presidential election has predicted the outcome every time since 1936. If the Redskins won the incumbant president has won, if the Redskins lost then the challenger will win. If this hold for another year then Kerry will become our new president.

My picks last weekend were 2-1 for NFL, and 1-3 for NCAA.
Year to Date, NFL: 15-7, NCAA 25-21
