This week, the Ledger will focus solely on the Sunday and Monday games. As published earlier, I went 2-1 on Thanksgiving, and there’s no sense in re-hashing the events of games that are nearly a week old at this point...
Off to a solid 2-1 start for week 12, thanks to the Packers and Broncos, I’m hoping to see that success continue into the rest of the weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve scored a big week I must admit...
With the baseball season over with, the NFL finally takes center stage in week 10. This week’s slate of games features some potential great matchups, including the annual tilt between Peyton Manning’s Colts and Tom Brady’s Patriots...
This was the week of the Close Call from my perspective, as a few games that should have gone down in the win column for me went horribly wrong, and one backdoor cover worked out in my favor...
As the NFL begins its second half, parity has been thrown out the window. It seems that, week in and week out, there are clear-cut favorites and underdogs in more than half of the games played...
The Ledger returns following week eight, a week that was, for me anyway, rather unsuccessful compared to the rest of the 2009 season. I went 5-8 on the week, recording my worst week of picks against the spread all season long...
Welcome back to another round of picks based on analysis, insight, and hunches. It’s worked for me so far to the tune of 63-40 on the season. After a 9-4 week seven, I’m hoping for even greater success in week eight...
Once again, The Ledger returns with fresh insight about the games that took place during week seven of the NFL season. After going 7-7 last week, I went 9-4 against the spread in week seven, running my overall record to 63-40 on the season...
A third of the way through the 2009 NFL season, we’ve reached the point where the favorites and underdogs have become predictable on a week-to-week basis, for the most part...
It’s another installment of The Ledger, the column that provides my take on every game I picked against the spread from the previous week’s NFL schedule. For the first time all season, double-digit underdogs (Oakland, Cleveland, St...
It seems that this season, more than any other I can remember, making picks against the spread has been relatively easy. I've gone 19-9 in the last two weeks, and my record for the season stands at 47-29...
Because the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have made it to the postseason nearly every year this decade, it’s easy to forget that these teams have not had much success in October in recent seasons...
The NLCS is a rematch of last year's series, won by the Philadelphia Phillies. The Los Angeles Dodgers hope to avenge that series loss and advance to the World Series for the first time since 1988...
Welcome back to The Ledger, where I review what went right, and wrong, with my picks against the spread from last week’s games. It was another great week for me, as I went 10-4 against the spread to run my record to 47-29 on the season...
I was back on track last week, going 9-5 in the games played. It would be nice to have back-to-back strong showings to build on my 37-25 record on the season...
The Yankees are back in the playoffs after finishing third in the AL East last season. The hottest team in baseball may be the Minnesota Twins, winners of 17 of their last 21, including an extra game in extra innings...
There are many storylines as the postseason begins, the most obvious being the Philadelphia Phillies’ quest to repeat. With apologies to the other sports, there’s nothing better than the baseball postseason...
Welcome back to The Ledger, where I review what went right, and wrong, with my picks against the spread from last week’s games. In case you missed my original picks, look here: http://masterprocrastinator...
I was disappointed with how last week went. However, it’s a new week, and it’s time to provide some picks for folks looking for help with the office pool. Hopefully, for your sake and mine, my picks are more accurate this week...
Welcome to The Ledger. I didn’t have a stellar showing in week three, but I am not afraid to acknowledge my mistakes when I make them. This week, there were plenty of mistakes to look back on, so without further ado… Sunday (record vs...
Week Three is where things start to get interesting. Some of the 2-0 teams will be exposed as frauds, while teams that are 0-2 now may already be playing the most important game of their seasons...
After a decent start to the season, week two proved to be a bonanza, if one were to use my picks, which were here: http://masterprocrastinator.wordpress...
As I stated last week, picking against the spread in the first week of the season can be messy. However, I was fortunate to go 9-7. If one went with my picks, they would have come out a little bit ahead, which isn’t a bad way to begin the season.
Making predictions can be a messy business, but I’m not going to shy away from my mistakes. I made quite a few in week one of the NFL season. I’m not afraid to admit it...
With the NFL season about to begin, I wanted to pay homage to one of the two reasons why millions of people purchase the Direct TV NFL Sunday Package: gambling (the other is fantasy football tracking)...
