It’s that time of year! You know it’s not officially football season until Doc Brown’s Sports Almanac picks are released. To refresh your memory, last NFL season I served as the handicapper at AOL Sports’ FanHouse , picking 3 games a week against the spread. My record last year was 15-11-1, good for a 58% clip, which means I was making you money even against the vig. ...

The Jacksonville Jaguars (11-5 SU & ATS in 2007 regular season), who got through one round of the playoffs successfully last year, will begin their quest to go steps further when they open the 2008 campaign against the Tennessee Titans (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS in 2007 regular season) in an NFL contest that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET on Sunday at LP Field (natural turf) in Nashville, TN. ...

The New York Jets (4-12 SU, 6-9-1 ATS in 2007) are all of a sudden loaded with hope. On Sunday they will start the season with a game that brings quite a storyline with it, as they travel to south Florida to play the Miami Dolphins (1-5 SU, 5-9-2 ATS), who currently employ nor only the Jets' former quarterback, but their former coach as well, in an NFL game that is set to kickoff at 1 PM ET ...

Back by popular demand. Or so the voices in my head insist. Welcome back, NFL football fans. This is now the fourth consecutive year in which I have committed myself to picking every single NFL regular season game. I pick the winners straight-up, without taking the spread into account (although I do offer my best guess as to what the margin of victory will be). My goal, as always, is to beat ...

Before they had more ads than a NASCAR and made it so covering a Wide Receiver was a penalty, I was a big fan of the NFL. While I still watch more than just a game or 2, I don't care as much about it. One of the golden rules in the NFL is to [...]

I over-analyzed today’s NFL contests for many hours, feeling no better than when I started. My brain cramped as I looked at trends, off-season moves, point spreads, strengths, and weaknesses. Suddenly, with the clock ticking on today’s NFL games, I heard the voice of my high school literature professor, “Keep it simple, stupid!” This was his favorite thing to tell ...

Interesting week one ahead. It's always fun trying to predict the week one spreads as let's face it, it's tough to do. The Giants, Broncos and maybe Steelers look like the strongest plays in my book this week, with relatively easy spreads to cover against teams with huge question marks against them. Two outsiders I particularly like to cover are the Titans and the Browns. Anyway, on with the ...

It was somewhere around 25 years ago - an eon in the prospering life of modern sports betting - that Nevada's licensed bookmakers first began employing money lines. The action was one of necessity as bet takers, in an effort to limit their susceptibility at being caught between two numbers (a situation called being middled or sided) sought a profitable (for them) but reasonably ...
