2017 Week #8

Our connection issues with BlogTalk Radio resulted in no aftershow tonight, so it's good I got the Monday night pick in before our live show cut off.  Because I haven't been able to be heard when I log in pre-show as host, I've had to log out as the host and log back in as a guest.  Problem was, there was no one on the host line once the live show ended, so BlogTalk Radio automatically killed the feed.  The more you know.  Here are our NFL Week 8 picks, where I go versus Jay on seven games:

2017 Week #7

Jay and I go heads up on ten games ATS this weekend, so much ground can be gained or lost by one of us.  A 5-5 split wouldn't be the least bit surprising.  In other news, I am so excited to watch games on Sunday like a normal person again.  I got a long-awaited schedule change at work and I no longer work Sundays.  Don't get me wrong: If you are looking for a host and the money's right, I'll be A-OK working weekends, but for this desk job I've had for six years here in Memphis, it was about damn time that I got to free up my Sundays.  Wife barely knows what I look like.  Here now, our Week 7 picks in the NFL:

2017 Week #6

The uncertainty surrounding Marcus Mariota's availability Monday night has resulted in the first game off the board ATS in a long time for us.  I mean, I searched all over the internet for a spread for this game and couldn't find anyone willing to give odds on the Colts-Titans matchup.  So we have to go with a pick-em situation, although I still made it a contingency play because that's how much I don't want to take Matt Cassel if he winds up the Tennessee QB.  Here are our Week 6 plays, which have Jason and me differing on seven games, and becomes eight if Cassel starts Monday:

2017 Week #5

I was on remote at my uncle's house for this episode of the podcast, and despite the connection issues once again at the top of the show, Jason and I made it work.  Special thanks to my uncle's son for allowing me the use of his bedroom as my makeshift studio.  Hopefully I made smart picks after nearly ten hours on the road.  Here are our NFL Week 5 games ATS, where we differ on seven games:
