Guidelines for My Weekly Pick

Note: risking 110 to win 100 each week with a point spread.

1. Pick a Favorite.
Underdogs are underdogs for a reason so I will rarely pick an underdog and if I do they will only be a dog by a point or two.

2. No Double Digit Favorite.
These are professional teams after-all and even giving so-called bad teams ten or more points is not a good idea.

3. Try to Avoid Division Rivals.
Especially when the game is played at the underdog's home or on prime time TV.

4. Keep Emotion Out of the Pick.

Why Just One Pick?

I think a lot of people try to pick too many games. I want to see what happens if I limit myself to picking just the best game each week.

Future Picks

I will post my pick Fridays around Noon ET.
