Football Picks for NFL and NCAA

Boy oh boy it has been a tough couple of weeks for good ole Lucky Lester. Since signing up with Who 2 Bet On my free picks sure seem to have taken a hit, record wise. However, when you combine my free picks with my paid picks, for both the NFL and NCAA, my over all record is good.

I have sat back and taken a long hard look at my system and with a thought towards turning things around for my free football picks, I have made a few adjustments and should be on a winning streak once again.

For my free college picks I have done my usual 5 games and have posted them for you all to use. For those of you who follow college footy check out my free picks for week 8.

With a slightly better record my free NFL picks I have uploaded my picks for week 7 and have 7 games to choose from so check it out.

In fantasy football Papa Weimer has added his latest Tear Jerker take and will be posting his weekly Ask Papa Weimer later tonight so come back and see how the Fantasy Football Know it All handles the tough questions.

And off site - Lucky Lester has added his NFL Bad Beat Week 6 to the big sports betting forum over at theRXforum.com. If you have been following his NFL Bad Beat series you will love this one too. Feel free to join in on the fun like so many others over at the RX.

Over at Belmont.com I have added my second part to the two part series on if it is a good idea to make bets on NFL teams with 1 win or less. This final installment details the teams with one win or less in the NFC so if you are a football betting man you should check this out before placing that bet.

It has been another crazy week of football writing for Lucky Lester so get in the know before you blow your dough!

Football Picks and Fantasy Football Advice

It was a pretty crazy week for Lucky Lester last week. My NCAAF picks for week 4 were so-so as my picks were good for 3-2 equaling about 60%. Yes it is a winning record but for those of you who are my regular readers, I strive for a better record. As usual I post my reviews – win or lose.

In the NFL I had an even worse record going 3-5-1 in week 3. Trust me this does not make me happy and I am not going to blame it on anything other than the cruel hand of fate. Teams that should have won didn’t as there were more than a few bad bounces and how about those stinking pushes? I prefer writing my reviews for winning weeks but I take my lumps too.

My week 5 NCAAF picks are ready and I am hoping for a much stronger showing this week. On an up side - one of my colleagues is having an amazing college football season as he is over 70% accurate with his picks. He doesn’t give them away so if you ever paid for sports picks you should check out Mike Roses’ NCAAF picks as he could make you some killer cash.

For my week 4 NFL picks I am putting up 7 free picks and 7 premium picks. I know my record for last week wasn’t so hot but the ones I mentioned above only took my free picks into consideration, my paid picks record is kept somewhere else.

My fantasy football section continues to grow with another installment from Papa Weimer and his Tear Jerker articles. He will also be adding another “Ask Papa Weimer” question and answer session in time for this weekends games. I have done my FF week 3 theRUNDOWN review and my week 4 FF theRUNDOWN has been posted.
