Welcome & Season Picks

I hate Week One. You don't make the dough picking Week One.

Welcome to my NFL Picks blog. In this space, you'll read my NFL Picks for every game, every week, with the exception of Week One (more on that later). I could begin to tell you about my prowess in picking games, but that won't mean much to you until I prove myself in a public space. So here it comes.

Each week, I will pick the outright winners of every game, plus the winners vs. the spread. In all the games vs. the spread, I will pick the "BET" games, which indicate games I recommend strongly. BET games are the most important of all picks, and my real prowess in this blog will be based upon my record there.

Now, about Week One. I writing this while watching games in Week One. I never pick Week One games. Trends are not established in Week One and it is the least reliable week in NFL play all year long. A smart player will let Week One pass and then proceed to rule in the future weeks, as Vegas starts to play into trends you can easily work to your favor. Example? Falcons beating the Panthers. Like the Saints beating the Panthers in Week One last year. No trend developed there, did it?

As for my Season Picks, yes, I'm a little late in submitting, as some of the games are past halftime right now. Whatever. My picks are not based on what's happening in the least reliable week of the year.
