My picks have been winning with surgical precision lately. I  might start betting with compression stockings on my books. Last weekend I went 9-1 on my NFL picks. Since the NBA regular season tip off, I have gone 2-0. I am making Vegas bleed and I do not plan on letting them recover any time [...]

I’m going to be spending some of my winnings from my picks this NFL season on flying to Houston, TX, to attend the 2010 Houston Rodeo. A few of my friends had attended last year and wanted me to go but I ended up missing it. I’ve heard for a year how awesome last years [...]

Extremely busy recently. I still did my research, but have no time for write ups.

I know that these picks might seem a little strange with 2 sides and totals on 2 games. But I think they’re quality bets with value, so I’m on them. I’m also have a few leans that I’m not ready to pull the trigger on yet. I might by Sunday.

Houston Texans +5½ over Arizona Cardinals

The Cards are at home coming off a bye, which would normally mean trouble, but there is too much value in this line to pass. Zona can’t seem to shake the Super Bowl hangover, and they’re 0-2 at home this year. I’ll take the points on this side.

Houston Texans/Arizona Cardinals OVER 50

Neither team is very strong on defense. The Texans have a lot of offensive weapons and the Cards are always good to score a few points.

San Francisco 49ers -3 (-105) over Atlanta Falcons

San Fran is at home and going into a bye. They’re defense is good and should give the Falcons plenty of problems. Missing Frank Gore shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Atlanta Falcons/San Francisco 49ers UNDER 41

Again, San Fran’s defense is good and Frank Gore is out.

Indianapolis Colts -4 over Tennessee Titans

Indy’s headed into a bye and should be focused this week. The Titans should be close to giving up.

All lines are from BoDog.
09 Season Record: 8-7

Think the World Series odds are scary to navigate? What about picking the Pac-10 winner? USC and Oregon are both 6-1 and clash Saturday night in what should be a Halloween thriller. It’s natural to assume USC is the better team and can romp, but there’s one big problem; the game is at Oregon.

(4) USC Trojans @ (10) Oregon Ducks

Saturday, October 31, 8:00 p.m. ET

Online betting favorite: USC -3

After being talked up as a BCS contender for a while, the Trojans haven’t looked like one in recent weeks. They barely scraped by Oregon State 42-36, almost blowing a lead late in the fourth quarter. However, we could easily chalk up the defensive lag to a loss of focus in a game that seemed like it was over. Against tougher competition, the Trojans should tighten things up.

The Ducks like to run and LaMichael James has been fantastic subbing for suspended LaGarrette Blount. James has four 100-yard effort in his past five games, highlighted by a 154-yard, two-touchdown effort against Boise State. Look for USC to key on him and force the ball into Jeremiah Masoli’s hands. Masoli has done a decent job taking care of the ball and his legs are dangerous but he’s ultimately a caretaker, so USC will hope to expose his limitations.

The Trojans have a tough test on offense facing the No. 19 defense in the nation and playing in front of an Oregon crowd gaining a reputation as one of college football’s best. But their balanced attack may be too much for the Ducks to handle. Matt Barkley still makes the odd freshman mistake but isn’t afraid to take shots downfield. He also has an outstanding rushing attack supporting him – sort of like Mr. Favre has to boost the Vikings’ NFL odds. Joe McKnight is having a solid season and Allen Bradford has filled in admirably for injured Stafon Johnson; it’s thus no surprise that USC is 13th in the country in rushing.

Saturday’s game certainly won’t be easy but the Trojans have the personnel to conquer this tough test. Like the Yankees as baseball picks, the Trojans will prevail in hostile territory.

Pick: Trojans -3
