I also wanted to let you know that my NFL picks in sum on every NFL game this week were 10-6 (62.5%), which finished in 3rd place in our Pick ‘Em League (thanks for those who join and participate each week). It feels good to get back to our winning ways, especially that our top plays on Thanksgiving and our NFL SUNDAY SPECIAL TEASER all hit with ease! Phish has just been a stud in that league with a whopping 29-18 record. Phish, if you’re reading this, give out a shout out in the comments section. Deez Nutz is another killer player who has a 27-20 record. Well done guys. If you wish, post up your favorite football team so we know which team could conquer that free NFL custom shop t-shirt that I will be sending the winner of the league for free.

Tonight, you might be interested in wagering a little something on perhaps the biggest college basketball game of the season so far, a rematch of last year’s National Championship: Michigan State vs. North Carolina. I posted a little analysis of tonight’s game which you can read by following the link or visiting THE TRIPLE DOUBLE. I’m going to take some of my winnings from last night’s Saints game and place a little bit of that on: well, you’ll just have to visit THE TRIPLE DOUBLE to find that one out.

I will have my NFL picks posted by tomorrow night and I will also be breaking down the Oregon vs. Oregon State Pac 10 Championship, which will be Thursday night. Oregon is favored by 10 and I’m waiting on the release of the over/under since I think this is a game that you will have to tease.

Good luck!

THE PASS RUSH: TAILGATE TEST, TAILGATE APPROVED!

10-0 in my last 9 picks. Let me boast about it while you guys boost my ego in the comments section after my morale was busted after 2 poor weeks in the NFL.

If you guys wanted a rebound, you got one! I told you that I would not let 2 subpar weeks in the NFL get me down.  We are up BIG on the season, really BIG. We built up a bankroll, gave a nominal amount back in the past two weeks, but we fought back and got even higher than where we were just 3 weeks ago.

I mixed it up a bit, started doing some teasers, and it’s been working like a charm, and more importantly, I’ve gotten back to college football where there are more games to pick and EASIER games to win, especially at this point in the season when you can really get a good read on a team. In the NFL, anything can happen and it usually does, but in college football, you can do much better against the spread overall despite the occasional upset that leaves you puzzled.  That’s just because the disparity between teams in the NFL are much smaller than the disparity in college football and when you can spot that, you can make a killing (e.g.: Rutgers -3 over Louisville).

The teasers have just been money lately.  If you took my Pitt teaser per my recommendation, it saved your ass since you had Pitt +7 and WVU escaped with the W by a field goal. The under 55 in that one was practically a lock, so why not add the points to a spread that’s on the bubble?Even the under 48 was as sure of a bet you can make and I talked about it non-stop in that write up. Same story with the Boise State pick.  Boise only won by 11, so you missed on the -13.5, but if you played my teaser, you made bank!

So here is a week in review on my last 10 picks when our cold steak officially ended:

1.) Sunday Night Pick: Eagles -3 over Bears (W)

2.) Monday Night Pick: Titans +4.5 over Texans (W)

3.) Teaser: Packers -3.5, Under 54.5 (W)

4.) Teaser: Cowboys -6.5, Under 47 (W)

5.) Teaser: Cowboys -6.5, Packers -3.5 (W)

6.) Texas A&M +21 over Texas (W) per Brandon’s Thanksgiving Special

7.) Rutgers -3 over Louisville (W)

8.) Auburn +10 over Alabama (W) per Brandon’s Game of the Year #4

9.) Teaser: Pittsburgh +7, Under 55 (W)

10.) Teaser: Boise State -6.5, Over 63 (W)

10-0 in my last 10 picks, are you kidding me?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We hope we made your Thanksgiving just a little bit better with some big Turkey Day wins.

We gave out two THANKSGIVING SPECIALS that both hit. The first special was a 7-point teaser of Packers -3.5 and Cowboys -6.5, which hit with ease. We also won both of those games individually with teasers we gave out that had the spread coupled with the over/under.  The Packers -3.5 hit with the Over 40.5 and Under 54.5, which I flip-flopped on due to the uncertainty of Calvin Johnson’s status — I recommended the over 40.5 if Johnson was active, but under 54.5 if he was inactive.  In the end, it didn’t matter since the total was right in the middle at 46.  I also recommended Cowboys -6.5 (or Raiders +20.5) with the under 47.5.  That was another easy hit no matter which side you decided to play it from.

If you instead played the spreads straight up, there were no worries there as both the Packers and Cowboys got the easy cover, although I was worried after GB fumbled the first kickoff of the game that led to a quick 7 points by the Lions.

I actually played those games with a 4-way teaser (2-to-1 odds) with GB -3.5, DAL -6.5, and unders on both games, so I was pretty pumped about that!

Hopefully, you took notice of last night’s update on the Broncos vs. Giants game.  I was onboard with the Giants, but put a “buyer beware” notice to avoid the Giants game due a feeling that the Broncos are “due for a win” along with the road trip, on a short week, with a list of injuries that I didn’t feel very good about.

Secondly, if you played Brandon’s THANKSGIVING SPECIAL of Texas A&M +21 over Texas, you got another cover.  What a heck of a football game.  The final score in that one was Texas 49, Texas A&M 39.  A&M hung in there the entire game and pulled the game within 3 points until Texas returned a kickoff with 5 minutes left in the game.  With the 21 points in that one, you just couldn’t go wrong.

Brandon loves to play those home underdogs in rivalry games and it worked like a charm in the Texas A&M game.  Brandon looks to continue that trend tomorrow afternoon since he is a big fan of Auburn +10 over Alabama, which I saw the line move to +10.5 before pulling back down to the original +10. I have to agree with him that when Alabama faces solid defenses, their offense just doesn’t live up to the hype.  I can’t wait to see what happens in that game.

We ended up big on Thursday and look to continue the hot streak into the weekend. There’s a ton more football tomorrow. The only game that I’m eying up is Rutgers -3 over Louisville, but I want to get some more opinions before taking that one. The Rutgers -3 spread looks too sweet to pass up.  It could be low due to Rutgers’ stud WR Tim Brown being listed as questionable and their kicker is also sidelined. I also like UCONN -13.5 over Syracuse Saturday at noon.

Good luck everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a very important announcement to make: CANNON BALL!

If you’re a dedicated readers of the site, I’m sure you’ve seen me plug the pick ‘em league like crazy. I’m going to do it 1 more time because I want to ensure that we have a competitive league with active members. I want to make sure that everyone knows that it’s FREE to join and a prize will be on the line to keep things interesting and active.

The winner of THE PASS RUSH Pick ‘Em league on Yahoo will win one of these bad boys: an NFL Shop custom t-shirt with the team and player name/number of his choice. The league information, link to register, and link to the homepage is located on the right side of the page above the frosty beer mug (if you want to donate beer so we can continue our awesomeness).

You don’t want to be late to the party and have to play catch up next week, you want to start picking games this week, so hurry up and sign up. You still have 24 hours before 1:00 kickoff tomorrow.

I also wanted to note that Brandon is amazing at college basketball (9-0 in his last 9) over at THE TRIPLE DOUBLE and I’m getting hot with my hockey picks at THE ONETIMER (7-2 in my last 9) and I have 5 great picks tonight.

Thank you for your continued patronage of THE PASS RUSH.

Business is picking up.  Brandon is posting college basketball picks over at THE TRIPLE DOUBLE and he is red hot right now, starting the season 9-0.  NINE AND O BABY! The man told you that he is a college basketball prodigy, even more than a college football guru.  Do not question the method to his madness. If he tells you to take St. Bonaventure or Wofford, you take St. bonaventure and Wofford. Do not ask questions for you know nothing! Put another way, he is the Gordon Gekko of college basketball and you are the guy that lights his cigarette and pours his scotch.

For his Friday night picks, he went with St. Bonaventure as his 2 unit bet over Cleveland State in a pick ‘em game. You see Cleveland State and you think green uniforms and a team that did well in the NCAA tournament a year or two ago and you think you’ve found a winner. Then you see Cleveland State down by 20 at the half and curse at the basketball gods. He also took Wofford, who is returning 5 starters and getting 17.5 points against Pittsburgh, who lost almost every starter from last year’s squad, and what do you get? You get Wofford not only covering by double digits, but you’re up by 3 points with 3 minutes left to play as a 17.5 point underdog.

This is the type of information that you get at our the sister site of THE PASS RUSH, THE TRIPLE DOUBLE. Again, quick links to our network of sports-betting websites are at the top and sides of the site. Money simply cannot buy this type of service, for we do not make you pay for such services. Instead, we prefer our performance to be rewarded with cold frosty brews (a.k.a you can donate us beer via PayPal by clicking the frosty beer mug on the right side of the page). So earn yourself a little karma and send over an ice-brewed 16 oz. beer and you’ll keep winning loads of units kamikaze-style, I promise you this.

In other news, THE ONETIMER is back to kicking ass and taking names. When I started picking hockey games, I had some bad beats, but wanted to announce that I am now 7-2 in my last 9 picks for 4.2 units of profit (with the 2 losses coming via shootouts). You can read the method to my madness at THE ONETIMER.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Sign up for our NFL Pick ‘Em ATS league on Yahoo. Links and league info are on the right side above the frosty beer. I’m going to sweeten the pot too.  Are you ready for it?  Wait for it, wait for it… the winner of the pick ‘em league will win an NFL Shop custom t-shirt with the team and player name of their choice, so sign up and play!  Boom!

Brandon is working like a horse doing NBA and NHL picks in addition to his NCAA picks, so check out THE TRIPLE DOUBLE and THE ONTEIMER on the reg.

He’s brought you a lot of big winners recently and he’s told me that he is very thirsty, so you can feel free to buy him a beer via PayPal by clicking the beer mug on the side.

Good luck this weekend.
