By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 11-3, bringing my season total to 52-47-3. Of course, my best week ATS also coincided with my first “best bet” loss, but that tally still sits at 4-1-2 on the year. It’s a tough act to follow, to be sure, but here are my Week 8 picks:…

Week 8 edition.

By Dalton Del Don I hate to brag, but then again, my good friend Bobby De Niro once told me never to name drop, so go figure. Anyway, my Week 7 consisted of going 11-3 against the spread and 9-0 in all of my fantasy leagues, making it so epic, I’d be remiss not to…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-8 to bring my season total to a disappointing 41-44-3. At least I won with my best bet again, as I remain undefeated there (4-0-2). For Week 7, I know I’m being a sucker taking the big road favorites (Steelers and Titans) yet I can’t seem to…

By Dalton Del Don I haven’t gone back and looked at the details, but I’d venture to guess Matt Ryan’s first six games of his NFL career are as impressive as any rookie QB ever. And to think about the Michael Vick and Bobby Petrino disasters. Is there a better young trio in the league…

I can’t believe it’s already Week 7.

By Dalton Del Don Last week my record ATS blew chunks, recording a 5-7-2 mark. Losing with the Texans (+3.5) was an absolute joke. I’m now 35-36-3 on the season, which I’m certainly not happy about. My “best bet” is 3-0-2. This week, I had the hardest time with the Raiders and Ravens, but this…

By Dalton Del Don The Titans’ win was impressive nevertheless, but not without the aid of some questionable officiating. The late roughing the passer call, which came on a false start penalty no less, was an absolute joke…In a game featuring the two best defenses in the league and with low YPA and YPC marks,…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-7, bringing my season record to 30-29-1. At least I’m 3-0-1 with my best bet. Still, this mediocrity ends this week. I may add comments later, but for now, here are my Week 5 picks. Titans -3 at Ravens (best bet) Seahawks +7.5 at Giants Redskins +6…

Week 5 edition.

By Dalton Del Don If the Browns and Bengals can’t get their offenses going against each other, it’s officially going to be a long season for both. Brady Quinn must really not impress during practice, or he would’ve been in that football game Sunday…Chris Perry is about to fumble his way out of a job.…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, which wasn’t unexpected since I had a difficult time making the picks. At least my best bet came through, bringing my season record there to 2-0-1. Overall, my record sits at 24-22-1. I normally go against road favorites but went with the Broncos, the Chargers and…

Here are this week’s risers and fallers.

By Dalton Del Don Not sure if I’ve ever seen an uglier display of quarterback play than Tyler Thigpen on Sunday. Imagine Dwayne Bowe with even an average QB throwing to him…The Falcons’ rushing attack is legit, as Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood complement each other perfectly. Turner is a beast between the tackles, and…
