Super Bow XLVII - The Pick

In Super Bowl 47, two brothers will be coaching against each other for the first time in Super Bowl history.  The 49ers are favored by 4 points over the Ravens.  Not sure why Vegas is giving us a gift like this but I will take it, and so can you.

The Ravens are equal in defensive intensity and have Ray Lewis in his last game, edge to Ravens.  Quarterback usually comes next and as good as the 49ers rookie quarterback is Flaco is the better choice.  Running game is also equal as are recievers with the Ravens having a slight edge with Bolden, Moss is a non-factor in this game.  So take the Ravens +4 over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

JSK Hot Picks Vol. III Issue VII - 'All or Nothing'

I either win every pick or loose every pick this year! What is up with that?  A clean sweep this week bringing my totals to 15-11-1, 58% winners and a profit of $270.

It has been an up and down year, that's for sure, but there has been distractions however they are gone now and my focus can be on picking winners.  Only have two picks this week but I think they are money in the bank.

The Oakland Raiders -1.5 over Tampa Bay is a sweet play with the Buccs on there second straight road game.  Number two is Houston -10 over Buffalo and with Houston at home there defense probably will not allow the Bills to score.  And with Buffalo's woeful run defense, Foster will run wild.

Quick fantasy football update, if these players are still available grab them while you still can.  WR T. Young Detroit, RB J. Dwyer Pittsburgh, and RB D. Thomas Miami.

JSK Hot Picks Vol. III Issue VI - 'Trying To Get Hot'

Not doing so hot this year, but that's when you dig in and find the winners which I will do this week.  Last week was 1-2 bringing our totals for the year to 11-11-1, 50% winners with a balance of $130 in the red.

This weeks picks are Detroit -3 over Seattle, Atlanta +2.5 over Philly, Denver -6 over New Orleans, and the under 37.5 on Monday Night Football between the 49ers and Arizona.

On the fantasy football side of things there have been some nice surprises this season with Matt Ryan taking his game to the next level for one and a pleasant lack of major injuries this year, so far!  Considering all the top running backs that have missed time over the last two years.  Players that could be available that are going to have a good second half of the season are Rashard Jennings, Santana Moss, Kevin Walter and Brandon Bolden.  And those of you who have Jimmy Graham do not worry he will be hug in the second half of the season.

JSK Hot Picks Vol.3 Issue 5 - 'Short & Sweet'

This week I am just giving you my picks and will get caught up with everything next week.  This week I like Buffalo -3 over Tennessee, Buccs +3 over New Orleans, and Oakland +4 over Jacksonville.  The Pats -10 are close but not an official play.  But they should bury the Jets this week.  Look for the Patriots to bring down the hammer on the Jets.  I think Belicheck and the players all want to take out there frustration of the last few weeks on the woeful Jets.  Look for a 30 point blow out.

JSK Hot Picks Vol.3 Issue 4 - 'Just Warming Up'

Finally some winners after two bad weeks, as we went 3-1, bringing my season totals to 10-6-1, 63% winners with a profit of $340.

There are three sweet picks on the board this week that I feel really good about and a cage on these three picks could be the bet of the week.  The first play is on Monday Night Football, the San Diego Chargers -2 over Denver, then Kansas City +3.5 over Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers do not cover the number to often after bye weeks.  And Philly -5 over Detroit as the Lions are another team that has trouble covering the number after bye weeks.

And I have to say it too... it is good to see the regular officials back on the field.  Just makes the games flow much better, without conflict, or games given away by bad calls by inferior officials.  The NFL is one of the most successful privately owned companies in the world and seem to feel all powerful, but that subject is for an article all in itself.  Take this weeks picks to the bank.

JSK Hot Picks Vol.3 Issue 3 - 'Yikes'

'Yikes', 1-4-1 my last two weeks, not good, needs go get better.  My totals for the year are 7-5-1, 58% winners with a profit of $150.  Keeping it simple this week with four plays, New Orleans -3.5 over San Diego, Minnesota -5.5 over Tennessee, Giants -9 over Cleveland, and Cincinnati -3.5 over Miami.

JSK Hot Picks Vol.3 Issue 2 - 'Giving Some Back'

We gave a little money back this week as we went 1-2-1 and lost $120.  Our total for the year is 7-3-1, 64% winners with a profit of $370.

So how good does Houston look this year?  They will be my Super Bowl pick for 2012.  My prediction is Houston 32 - San Francisco 27.  After week one I was wondering if it might be an all Texas Super Bowl this year but Dallas has come back down to there pitiful self.

And what about that Monday Night Meltdown by the referee's?  NFL is turning into a joke if they let this go much longer.  No one will be laughing soon...

Anyway two picks this week, Detroit -4 over Minnesota and Arizona -6 over Miami.  Was tempted to add Chicago Monday Night but who knows what Dallas team will show up and better yet who will the referee's give the game to next week!
