MNF: Chargers vs. Chiefs Week 8
by FreePicks.org staff
The San Diego Chargers go to Arrow Head Stadium in Kansas City this Monday Night. The Chargers currently lead the division with a 4-2 record and the Chiefs have the same amount of wins but one more loss than San Diego (4-3) because of the bye week. Whichever team comes out of this one with a win will be division leader...... MORE

MNF: Bears at Lions October 10, 2011
by FreePicks.org staff
This is a very interesting matchup.  On one side you have the Detroit Lions who in two years have gone from worst to first.  On the other side you have a Bears team that was in the Super Bowl four years ago and is trying it's very best for consistency and wins.  The Bears are getting a little old with players like Urlacher and even QB Jay Cutler is getting long in the tooth for a player yet to prove he can win big ga.....

Nebraska vs. Ohio State NCAA Football Preview
by FreePicks.org staff
Nebraska hopes the return home in front of the friendly crowd at Lincoln Nebraska helps them to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes after being spanked at Wisconsin last weekend.  Both teams are down and feel this win would be important. Ohio State had even more violations crop up this week. Will it ever end for them? There is almost a feeling that they sold their souls to the devil to win all those games in the 2000's and no..... MORE

Nebraska vs. Wisconsin NCAA Football Preview
by FreePicks.org staff
One of the most anticipated games of the year is being played today.  Nebraska in it's first year in the Big Ten Conference faces off against the Big Ten's top team. Both teams are undefeated but how they got there are two different stories.  Wisconsin has been blowing past it's opponents thus far. Nebraska on the other hand has had to fight tooth and nail in two of the games.  This fact is the only rea ..... MORE

ALDS Game 1: Detroit Tigers at NY Yankees
by FreePicks.org staff
The Yankees and the Tigers meet in the postseason for the first time in five years. In baseball terms that may as well be yesterday as only four teams from each league make it each year.  This game by far is the most fantastic matchup of pitching we may see all season. Cy Young and Triple Crown Ace ..... MORE

NCAA Football: #3 Alabama vs. #14 Arkansas
by FreePicks.org staff
One of the top matchups of this weekend for sure is Arkansas at Alabama.  Both teams are in the SEC West and looking to take control of this division and conference.  Alabama is 12 point home favorites.  Both teams have a monster offense and have put up the numbers this year.  The teams matchup up very well but the marked advantage comes from a swarming Bama' defense.  Arkansas' defense are no chumps either. Many f..... MORE

NCAA Football: #1 Oklahoma at #5 Florida State
by FreePicks.org staff
This is by far the top matchup of the weekend. The Oklahoma Sooners are three point favorites (-3) at The Seminoles of Florida State.  These two teams have a bit of a history. They aren't division foes or anything of that nature.  And they don't play all that often (Just twice in almost 30 years).  But when they do play they usually have a lot on the line because these are two very storied pro..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Atlanta Falcons
by FreePicks.org staff
Now we're talking. This is a good solid team all the way around the ball. Last year this is one of the only teams to be both strong as an individual contender as well as a strong bet every week to cover the spread.  This is a balanced offense with Michael Turner carrying the bulk of the load.  Last season he led the NFL in attempts (334) while adding 1,371 yards and 12 TD's to hii..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Arizona Cardinals
by FreePicks.org staff
The Cardinals have been pretty below average since their Super Bowl appearance several years ago.  It all starts with the QB position. They thought they had former Heisman winner Matt Leinart waiting in the wings to take over for Kurt Warner but he was not an NFL caliber QB.  So the scramble began and they installed people like Derek Anderson who had flashed of brilliance but were clearly not NFL material.  This season they picked up Kevin Kolb from Philadelphia and feel they are in position to make a move to the top of thei..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Tennessee Titans
by FreePicks.org staff
Where do we start? I could be wrong but I think the Titans will be a horrible team this year.  Even though they have the star running back and some really strong players here and there, they don't have the whole unit and people in the right places to make it happen.  Coaching change, QB change, and basically just changes everywhere; this is definitely what would be considered a "rebuilding year" for a..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 San Diego Chargers
by FreePicks.org staff
People expect a great deal from the Chargers every year for the last five or six seasons. The truth is they had a good run but fell short. They had L.T., Phillip Rivers, Shawn Merriman, and Darren Sproles to combine for one heck of a team. Those days are gone and so should the days of expecting that the Chargers will win 75% of their games. If they finish with a winning record that would be a surpr..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Pittsburgh Steelers
by FreePicks.org staff
How can you ever go wrong with the Steelers? Wether you are betting them or just a loyal fan, they rarely seem to disappoint. Pittsburgh is one of those rare teams that wins a lot of games straight up and against the spread.  Last year they go an outstanding 12-4 SU and a very impressive 10-6 ATS.  The over/under for Pittsburgh went 7-9 (seven over, and nine under).  R..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Oakland Raiders
by FreePicks.org staff
The Oakland Raiders are considered by some to be one of those "up and coming" teams. But they are designated that more times than not. Owner Al Davis really does want to win football games.  He just goes about everything in a wacky fashion. Their history is loaded with Al signing unproven or under qualified players to ridiculous contracts and then wasting plenty of time and energy trying to get rid of them. It seems the last few years are not totally under Al Davis' control and as harsh as this seems, it may be best for Raiders fans. They are now drafting logically and sig..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 New York Jets
by FreePicks.org staff
The Jets are known for their intimidating defense and statistically it showed. They allowed the sixth least amount of points (304) in the NFL last season.  They also allowed the third least amount of yards (4,664).  In 12 of the 16 games played against the Jets in the regular season, opponents could not score more than 20 points.  On offense the team did no..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 New England Patriots
by FreePicks.org staff
Anytime Tom Brady is on the field, watch out defenders. The guy's is the most pure passer and accurate passer that I have ever seen. And if he is not, then he is right up there in the company of Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana for sure.  So anytime this guy suits up there is a better than average chance for a win regardless of who they are playing.  Coach Bill Belichick isn't so great.  Any coach would look like a genius with Brady at the helm. They drafted him in the 6th round so i..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Miami Dolphins
by FreePicks.org staff
The Miami Dolphins have been entrenched in mediocrity for some time now  Coach Tony Sparano was brought in after the one year disaster of Cam Cameron. But all real football fans know that Cam Cameron was a fall guy for the mess left behind by Nick Saban, a man more hated in South Florida than the anti-Christ himself.  Sparano had a great..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Kansas City Chiefs
by FreePicks.org staff
The Chiefs were a pleasant surprise for everyone. They have really built a team and played good football last year.  We think it wasn't a fluke or a flash in the pan. They should be fine this year and maybe have a chance to make the playoffs again. They won 5 of their first seven games straight up and covered 5 of the first 6 point spreads.  Lines and oddsmakers adjusted and Kansas City then only cov..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars
by FreePicks.org staff
I like Jack Del Rio. After watching him on HBO's "Hard Knocks" a few years ago, you know that he is a very passionate coach that he really cares about his guys.  And I believe that he does have winning head coach potential. However, I do believe that his time in Jacksonville has been up.  In fact we are surprised that he still has a job with this team.  After going 5-11 in 2008, 7-9 in 2009, and 8-8 in 2010 we feel t.....

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Indianapolis Colts
by FreePicks.org staff
Strengths: Peyton Manning.  This guy year in and year out is one of the best players in football.  And if you don't believe me watch one of his 15 commercials that run during football season.  All joking aside; If you have a guy like Manning leading your team then you have a great chance of winning every single season..... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Houston Texans
by FreePicks.org staff
Strengths: Offensive talents and special teams are what Houston does best.  Matt Shaub threw for 4,370 yards, 24 TD's, and only 12 INT's last season.  RB Adrian Foster had 2,220 yards from scrimmage. The team finished in the top ten for all major categories.  The offense was never held to single digits all season.  WR Andre Johnson had 86 receptions for 1,216 yards and eight touchdowns.  There is no offense that is more capable in the NFL.... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Denver Broncos
by FreePicks.org staff
Strengths: You may not quite remember it this way, but the Broncos actually had quite the passing attack last year. They finished 7th in the league in passing yards. As a team, they had over 4,000 yards passing.  This was a combined effort between Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow.  This year is sure to see the emergence of Tim Ty.... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Cleveland Browns
by FreePicks.org staff
The Browns defense was a nice surprise last year as the they finished with the 13th best scoring defense in the league.  The two most impressive of these efforts is when they took on hi-flying New Orleans and powerful New England in back to back weeks and held them to a combined 31 points and won the games in the process.  Rookie Colt McCoy....

by FreePicks.org staff
General: Is Marv Lewis still the couch here? If he is, how? His time here is well over due. They need to bring in some new fresh coaching talent and shake things up there in Cincy.  Carson Palmer threatening to retire if he is not traded is just one of the symptoms that this team is broken and they need a serious C.... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Buffalo Bills
by FreePicks.org staff
Strengths: Out of nowhere Ryan Fitzpatrick had a stellar passing season throwing for over 3,000 yards with 23 TD's and 15 INT's.  WR Steve Johnson caught a majority of his passes (82 - 1,073 yards). If these key players can improve and rookie C.... MORE

NFL Team Betting Preview: 2011 Baltimore Ravens
by FreePicks.org staff
Strengths: Baltimore's defense, as in most years, is clearly it's most valuable asset. They allowed the third least amount of points in the NFL last season.  The Ravens gave up only a mere five rushing TD's the entire season!  They also forced 19 interceptions.  Baltimore's powerhouse defense has been the strength of the team for more than a decade and most of that credit goes to LB Ray Lewis. He brings both his ath... MORE

MLB Game Preview and Free Pick: Cubs vs. Nationals - Monday August 8, 2011
by FreePicks.org staff
For Washington, Chien-Ming Wang, the 6'3" 230 pound righty will start on the mound.  He is 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA.  Matt Garza, on the other hand, the starter for the Cubs, has a respectable 3.78 ERA but only a 5-8 win/loss record because of very poor run support.  The Cubs are a very hot baseball team having just lost their first game in seven days.  Washington, however, is 2-3 out of their last fiv...

Nebraska - Bo Pelini and his team are very excited to play in the Big 10 starting this season. These teams all have a huge fanbase and they fit right in to the rough and tumble styles offered by the Big 10 programs.  Taylor Martinez returns to helm the team after leading last ye... MORE

MLB Baseball Pick - Arizona at L.A. Dodgers - Friday July 29, 2011
by FreePicks.org staff
This is a particularly rough year for left handed Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly.  He has strong inning after strong inning then will give up a four run inning here or there to lose the game and his ERA reflects it. Lilly is 6-10 with a 5.08 ERA.  These are hardly stats for a Major League starting pitcher and if this keeps up he won't be one for long.  Arizona's Collmenter on the other hand has a winning record (6-5) and a fantastic ...

NCAA Football Preview - Top 25 - Part 4 of 4
by FreePicks.org staff
After a mid-season slip-up (3 losses in a row), the Aggies found a way to finish their regular season with 6 straight wins.  These wins include victories over a couple of the top dogs in their conference: Nebraska and Oklahoma.  The momentum they managed to build wasn't enough to take on a tough LSU team in the Cotton Bowl.  They lost 41-24.  They'll return to the Big 12 as one of the top-contenders and ....

NCAA Football Preview - Top 25 - Part 3 of 4
by FreePicks.org staff
This might be a generous ranking, considering the recent troubles in Buckeye Nation.  With Terrelle Pryor gone, several players suspended for the first 5 games, and Head Coach Jim Tressell out the door, there's a lot up in the air right now.  Don't count Ohio State out of the Big Ten title race just yet, though.  They were 12-1 last year and return a ton of talent.  Their first true road test will come in Lincoln, NE....

MLB Free Pick - July 14, 2011 - Brewers at Rockies
by FreePicks.org staff
On Thursday, the "second half" of the baseball season begins with some good matchups.  One of the top games is Colorado taking on Milwaukee. Both teams are still very much in contention for the playoffs.  The line isn't out yet but we figure that it will be close to a "pick em" with the way that the pitchers have played this year. Yovani Gallardo has been stell .... MORE

MLB Free Pick - Detroit at Anaheim
by FreePicks.org staff
This is a great pitching matchup, perhaps the best of the day. (11-3) Justin Verlander takes on (7-5) Dan Haren.  Throw the records of these two pitchers out because the ERA says everything you need to know. Haren is 2.88 and Verlander is 2.32. Simply amazing ERA's. Both teams have the same exact record at 45-41. The Ang .... MORE

In only 2 seasons, Head Coach Dan Mullen has taken Mississippi State from the bottom of their conference to a team that can compete with any team in the nation.  They went 9-4 in 2010 with their only losses coming to fellow SEC teams, one of which was an OT loss to Arkansas and another a 3-point loss to a Championship year Auburn team.  They finished off their season with a crushing 52-14 win over Michigan in ....

NHL Game 7 - Finals - Boston at Vancouver
by FreePicks.org staff
This is it. This game tonight is being played for the whole enchilada.  Oddsmakers currently have the Canucks listed at -145 favorites over Boston.  This has been a very completive series. Back and forth and forth and back has been the tempo.  Vancouver came in as slight series favorites, mainly because their superior overall record (54-19-9 compared to Boston's 46-25-11) and the fact that they have h ....

NBA Finals: Game 6 Pick. Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavs
by FreePicks.org staff
The Miami Heat are at home for the first time in four games and have a chance to even the series at 3 games a piece. I think the public is panicking more than the actual team is.  The Mavericks have played extremely well to this point. Miami has had their hands full no doubt. People in the media are commenting about the "dream team" failing and all this. But what they fail to recognize is that every NBA team .... MORE

NBA Finals: Game 1 Pick. Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavs
by FreePicks.org staff
One team is just 4 wins away from a Championship.  The Dallas Mavericks travel to Miami Tuesday night to start game one for a chance to get back what they let slip away in 2006.   In the 2006 finals, Dallas took an early 2-0 lead in the series against Miami.  With a 13 point lead late in game three, it looked like the series might only see 4 games.  Instead, the Heat rallied for a win and took the next three games for the title.  Just five years later, memories are fresh but so are many of the faces.  Jason Terri and Dirk Nowitzki are the only re....

NHL Semi Finals Game 7: Tampa at Boston
by FreePicks.org staff
The Bruins host the Tampa Bay Lightning in game 7 Friday night at 8:00 PM ET on Versus.  Both teams have been in a game-7 situation this season and both teams have what it takes to win. The key to the Bruins playing their best game will lie in discipline.  They'll need to avoid penalties and pump as many shots as they can to Roloson starting early.  Boston will need to ge.... MORE

Western Conference Finals: Series Preview: Thunder at Mavs
by FreePicks.org staff
Oklahoma City really scrapped it out with Memphis. They took that series to the wire and it was a great series showcasing the young new talent in the NBA. There is no doubt that the series took a lot out of the Oklahoma City Thunder who start their series against the Dallas Mavs for the Western Conference NBA Finals tonight.... MORE

NBA Free Pick: Chicago vs. Miami: Game 1
by FreePicks.org staff
The extraordinarily hot Miami Heat led by Dwayne Wade and Lebron James head to Chicago for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA Playoffs.  Based on seed rank and regular season win totals one would think that the Bulls are favored to win this series. But because of the Miami Heat's play as of late they are the hottest team in the league right... MORE

NBA Free Pick: Boston at Miami: Game 5
by FreePicks.org staff
The Boston Celtics return to Miami to face the Miami Heat after losing an overtime battle with Miami on Monday.  Boston is an old beat up team and Miami is the new power in the East. And with the superior management and talent on the Miami Heat they should be a force for years to come.  Boston's only real up and coming young player, Rondo, is hurt and playing with a bum arm.  He injured it in the game before... MORE

NBA Free Pick: Lakers at Mavericks: Game 3
by FreePicks.org staff
The Lakers are in unfamiliar territory heading into tonight's game down 0-2 games in a seven game series with the Dallas Mavericks.  Lakers star Andrew Bynum said there are "trust issues" in the team. And Kobe Bryant said that the Lakers are desperate but added that they play their best basketball when feeling desperate.  If the Lakers lose this series it will be the first time in four years they have not at least made it to the...

MLB Free Pick Thursday: Toronto at Texas
by FreePicks.org staff
Today at 2:05 the Toronto BlueJays face the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark.  Straight up this season Texas is a better club on paper. Their record is 15-9 and Toronto is 11-13.  Texas is still riding high on last years performance which got them to the World Series. Their bats are strong and their pitching is solid.  Toronto has been a mediocre team as of recent years. They finished 85-77 l ... MORE

Expect a couple of fired-up squads as San Antonio and Memphis go head-to-head Saturday night.  They enter game three tied 1-1.  It’s already been a physical series with even more on the line for both teams tonight.  Memphis fans hope to see another postseason win and a first playoff victory in their home stadium.  With 30 home wins this year, Memphis’ first playoff team feels comfortable at home and fa ...

The Florida State Seminoles take on The Virginia Commonwealth Rams in a basketball matchup tonight. The FSU squad is favored by four points and the total is 130 points.  Florida State is coming off a very impressive win against Notre Dame, a team that was better on paper.  VCU is also coming off an equally impressive win against a superior Purdue team ... MORE

NBA: Cleveland Cavs vs. Orlando Magic - March 21, 2011
by FreePicks.org staff
Tonight the Orlando Magic travel to Cleveland to take on the Cleveland Cavs at the Quicken Loans Arena.  Orlando is a healthy 44-26 SU but a lousy 29-39-2 Against the Spread.  This is because the point spread makers have over valued Orlando as a team this year. With all of the trades and lineup changes it is very hard for a team to cover the spread.  But the team is good when it comes to straight up basketball. Cleveland, on the other hand, is abysmal from all angles.  They are 13-55 SU and 27-38-3 ATS.  The team really did fall apart with the departure ... MORE

NBA: NY Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers
by FreePicks.org staff
It looks as though the New York Knicks (34-30) will be at full-strength when they take on the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden tonight.  The league rescinded technical fouls that would have kept Amare Stoudemire out of the game.  The Knicks, who are in a tight race with Philadelphia for 6th place in the Eastern Conference, would have had a tough time without him.  Despite him scoring 24 point (in the sec . ..

NBA: Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls
by FreePicks.org staff
The Bulls have been on somewhat of a high lately. They just beat conference foes Orlando Magic in Orlando. And the Magic had just pulled off a stunning comeback win against the Miami Heat.  So by all logic, the Bulls are the team to beat right now.  They travel to Miami Sunday March 6 to give Miami a chance to do just that.  The early line is Miami -5.  Record wise the teams are almost exactly the same. The Bulls are 42-18 and the Heat are 43-19.  Against the Spread, however, the B . .. MORE

NBA: Houston at Detroit - March 1st, 2011
by FreePicks.org staff
Oddsmakers currently have Portland 5 point favorites and the total at 202 points.  Houston just squeaked out a 2 point winner against the Hornets and Portland just lost to Atlanta by 7 and failed to cover the (+5).  Both teams went way under in the last two games. So there is an angle right there. And the losing team laying 5 points to the winning team, yet another angle. . .. MORE

NCAAB: Washington St. at Arizona

A West Coast battle between two of the best teams out there. The (17-8) Washington State Cougars travel to take on the #12 (21-4) Arizona Wildcats.  Oddsmakers have the Arizona squad as 8.5 favorites over Washington State and the total is right around 143.  Both teams are coming off of important wins.

Atlanta just lost to the Charlotte Bobcats and Detroit to the Portland Trailblazers. . .. MORE

NBA Preview: Free Pick: Orlando vs. New Orleans
by FreePicks.org staff
Orlando made some real "bone head moves" a few years ago by breaking up the team that made it to the finals.  A move like this is reminiscent of that dummy Brian Billick bringing in a new QB after winning the Super Bowl. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.   So, two years on and the Magic are trying to fix their wrong doings. They bring back Turkoglu and ship Vince Carter off. The team is starting to get . .. MORE

NBA Preview: Atlanta Hawks vs. Philadelphia 76ers
by FreePicks.org staff
The Hawks hope to have Al Horford back after his back injury sustained against the Clippers, but the way Josh Smith played the other day, he might not even  be needed.  Smith scored 29 points and achieved a season-high 16 rebounds.  Horford’s status is currently unclear.  Atlanta hosts Philadelphia Tuesday night and look for their 15th win in 17 home games.  They are 33-18 overall and have won their last 3 in a row.  The 76er..

Onion News posted an article yesterday that said it best - ”Super Bowl Still Hasn’t Happened yet”…”Despite the overwhelming media hype, countless interviews with players and coaches, and considerable speculation about the big game since the conference champions earned Super Bowl berths nearly two weeks ago, Super Bowl XLV still hasn't happened yet”.  As usual, it’s been a massive build up.  Tonight the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers battle it out for the ultimate football trophy in front of over 100 million U.S. viewers and millions more around the..

Wednesday night there is a battle between two mediocre Big Ten teams.  The 8-11 Iowa Hawkeyes travel to take on the 10-8 Penn State Nittany Lions.  This is a down year for the Iowa team as they usually finish with a winning record and are at least near the top of the Big Ten standings.  They have a very talented tea..

Hoyas Hope To Beat The Odds As They Face Wildcats
by FreePicks.org staff
6 games into the Conference season and the Georgetown Hoyas are standing with a 2-4 record. This win percentage of .333 sees the Hoyas trailing the pack already and the are a world removed from the 100% percentages that Pittsburgh and Syracuse can claim.
In overall games, the Hoyas have a better standing, posting a 13-5 record, which equates to a .722 win ratio. This indicates that the Hoyas know how to win a game but as the Conference games show, they are not at the level they w.. MORE
