I’m freaking out about my record against the spread. It’s been getting worse every week. I don’t want to go below .500. I actually thought of just reversing all the picks below and seeing how I fare. But even in the face of mounting evidence that I don’t, in fact, know what I’m talking about, I still believe in me (hugs self).

Procrastinated Pac-10 Picks – Week 13
This is the only post I’m going to do. No Click Tales, no SearchBag. It’s just the life of a lazy blogger. I did my best to mail this puppy in just so not to be give the appearance of too much effort.
Persistent Pac-10 Picks – Week 12
I might as well just quit picking against the spread. The streak I’m on is colder than a Chip Kelly halftime interview (zing!). But I’m not a quitter. In gambling, you always know that the next one is going to be HUGE.
Poised Pac-10 Picks – Week 10
It’s a second straight week with a full slate of Pac-10 football. The best Saturday’s are always free of a bye. The blog foresees many* a close game Saturday but these picks are feeling calm, cool and collected. *many of course is different than, say, “all” or “every” or “entire.” You get the point, right? [...]
Plentiful Pac-10 Picks – Week 9
Finally, a full Saturday of Pac-10 play. And it’s a juicy one. Will the Cougars break through? Can Cal keep it within 40 in a road game? Can Stanford keep on winning with no one noticing? And how ’bout that game in L.A.? No, not you UCLA.
Perfunctory Pac-10 Picks – Week 8
As I look at my season against the spread, that 1-9 effort in week two continues to haunt me. I’d be setting mythical records if not for that uninspired effort. Then again, I don’t put a lot of effort into any of these picks. Luck has been my friend.
Prosaic Pac-10 Picks – Week 7
It’s a dull week in the Pac-10 with just three games, none of which can be considered marquee matchups. Feel free to read a book, go to a play or visit a museum on Saturday. Well, not really.
Presumptuous Pac-10 Picks – Week 6
Outside of that 1-9 week against the spread, I’m pretty much on fire. I’m starting to feel a little arrogant so let’s have a bad week, huh? I’m road doggin’ it and hoping for the best.
Poisoned Pac-10 Picks – Week 4
An ego is pure poison. Sure, I went 7-3 last week, but any sap could have done that. It’s the 1-8 record against the spread that was the betting equivalent of gargling acid. Just like that, I don’t know what I’m doing. Straight Up: 24-4 Against the Spread: 10-11 Posted spreads are from sportsbook.com at [...]
Pompous Pac-10 Picks – Week 3
This week, you’ll just have to indulge a little OTP ego because I’m pretty sure this is about the only time I’ll be able to show it off. Kind of went undefeated last week. As in, 8-0 straight up and 5-0 against the spread. Coincidentally, I moved to Las Vegas at 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night. [...]
