Here in Chicago we are expecting our first big winter storm to hit over the next 24 hours. Tomorrow's morning rush hour traffic is probably going to be a nightmare.

Things got back on track last week, getting 4 out of 5 picks correct.
Season Totals, NCAA: 21-15-1, NFL 6-6-1.
There is a pick for both college and pro Thursday night so here they are.
Ohio +3 and Baltimore +3.

I make basketball picks at http://tbeck.freeshell.org/bb/bbpicks.html.
I found something that worked last year for college hoops. I looked at it last night and went something like 15-2 overall, and 6-1 on the picks I posted. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come.

Last week did not go too well, especially in the NFL. I have a feeling these picks have already reached their peak, they tend to do better early in the season.
Season totals: NCAA: 16-10-1, NFL 4-6

NCAA: San Jose St. +24½, UTEP +3, Kansas St. +2, Middle Tennessee +15½, Tennessee -7½, Northwestern +2½.
NFL: Washington +3, Baltimore -4½.

I had my first losing week with these picks last weekend.
Season to Date: NCAA 13-8, NFL 4-3

This week
NCAA: Wisconsin -1½, Colorado State+13, Tennessee +6, Houston -3, Middle Tennessee -4, Memphis +2
NFL: Tampa Bay +9½, New Orleans +5, Jacksonville -10½

Food for thought this week: in the NFL, the home team has covered 56.7% and home underdogs have covered 63.6% of the time. In fact over the last 4 weeks underdogs overall have won 50% of the time straight up.

Last week the picks were only 2-2 but they are still 66% for the year.
Season to date: NCAA; 13-6, NFL 3-2.

This week:
NCAA: Virginia +12.5, Baylor +16
NFL: Denver +3, Chicago -13.5

And if you want to look at something else this week check into the games where the computer adjusted line is different from the line. These are doing very well this season.
