Disappointing performance last weekend, going 0-1 on Big Plays, 2-5 on Other Plays, and 2-3 on MP Leans. Line moves closed a total of 5.5 points closer to our line in the 13 games, not as strong as normal, but still solid. Picks are based on Massey-Peabody ratings, and do not include injuries, weather, or matchup factors. Lines…

Last week was a bit of a bump in the road for our NFL picks. Our Big Plays went 2-2. Carolina won in San Francisco as a 6-point dog, and Arizona covered our published line of -2.5 by half a point (though this pushed for anyone who played it at -3). Dallas and Green Bay did…

We continued our mid-season surge last weekend, sweeping both our Big Plays (2-0) and Other Plays (2-0). We didn’t just win, we WON. Stanford blew out Oregon as a 10-point dog, New Mexico entertained thoughts of an upset as a 24.5-point dog before finally succumbing to Boston College by 14, and Syracuse won by 17 as a…

Caught a bit of a break with Indy’s epic comeback, enabling us to salvage a split (1-1) on our¬†Other Plays. But we were pretty unlucky in the Buffalo/KC game. Despite out-gaining KC 470-210 (6.1-3.9 in yards/play), Buffalo managed to lose by 10. Having Jeff Tuel starting instead of Thad Lewis certainly didn’t help our cause…

Wasn’t sure I was going to be able to say this after our 18-31 start, but our college football picks are now over 50%! 6-5 altogether last week:¬†Big Plays went 1-2;¬†Other Plays went 3-1; MP Leans went 2-2. We were particularly accurate on the underdogs last week, with USC winning as a 5-point dog, Minnesota…

Another solid week for our NFL picks, and would’ve been even better if not for my brain fart with Jacksonville playing in London (and not at home). Still, Big Plays went 2-1, Other Plays went 2-1, and our one Break-Even or Better pick won. For the year, we are now 27-18-1 (60%) on our picks, and 32-22-1…

We continued our recent streak of dominance last week, going 2-0 on Big Plays, 3-0-1 on Other Plays, and 2-1 on MP Leans. After our dreadful start, this means we have fought back to the 50% mark for all picks. I’ve gotten some questions recently about what the threshold is for the different pick categories. The quick-and-easy answer:…

A very big weekend for Massey-Peabody NFL picks in Week 7. Our lone Big Play, won handily. Our Other Plays swept, going 5-0, with both the Jets and Colts winning outright as underdogs, and Houston losing by one point. Our new category, Break-Even or Better–picks we expect will (barely) cover the vig, but are not strong enough for us…

Posting picks 12 hours earlier this week, since I won’t be available tomorrow. Last week, we didn’t have any Big Plays, but our Other Plays went 2-1, while MP Leans went 2-3. More importantly, all but one pick moved our way. Louisiana Tech moved from +6.5 to +3.5, Michigan from -7.5 to -8.5, Colorado State from +7 to +6.5,…

Won our lone Big Play last week, with Kansas State playing Baylor close. Split the remaining picks, going 1-1 on Other Plays and MP Leans. If we had included Texas, which should have been a Big Play but Cade vetoed, we would have had an additional win. As a result of Texas’s win, we are now Peabody-Massey Analytics for…
