Marriage is never a valid excuse to abandon one's avid fan base and prevent these loyalists from earning some cash. Without further adieu or a long winded apology let us resume the goal of making money.
The Boston Red Sox are the surprise team of this years MLB season. However, smoke and mirrors can only take you so far. While Seattle is a below average team, they are at home and send their ace to the hill tonight in Felix Hrrnandez. The Red Sox on the other hand are coming off two tough losses and are in the midst of a west coast road trip.
Tonight's release: Seattle -110 over Boston.

HO HO HO...........
Deepest apologies to our loyal (borderline rabid) fanbase. Due to maritial obligations, November has been a complete wash for me at Propick Sports. Here's the good news....now I can hit stride right at the end of the year and line everyone's pockets with luccini....aka Cash.
Georgia +8.5 over Alabama. Every statistical edge screams Alabama in this game. Our Propick proprietary model suggest a double digit win by the Crimson Tide. Guess what? This is a gut feel and despite playing inferior competition, Georgia will hang around and keep this game close.
Kansas State vs. Texas Under 61.5. Enough with all the offense in the Big 12. Can anyone in this lousy conference play defense? Of course this is a moot point because Texas' offense has sputtered at times and tonight will be one of these instances.

Life Sucks.....
Then you die! After last nights horrific loss and more importantly, non cover by the Cowboys, the emotional roller coaster is off the charts. As a result, tonight's release will be that of the no frills variety.
Eagles +3 Over Saints. Both teams have played extremely disappointing football this season, however the Eagles problems seem easier to diagnose/correct. While Michael Vick has cost the Eagles mightily with all his turnovers, contrast that to a Saints team which may have the worst defense in NFL history. This game falls into the coin flip category and I am siding with the Eagles.

Cowboy Up.....
After a disappointing day in the financial markets, we at Propick Sports have decided to provide our avid followers with what we like to call "blank check Friday". With all the consternation over what the presidential election means for the economy, Propick Sports fervently believes that this weekend's NFL releases will more than compensate for the current hardships that are out there. "Ask not what you can do for your bookie but what your bookie can do for you". Whenever people complain about not having enough money make sure that you forward this link with Sunday's selections.
Dallas +4 over Atlanta. This game is so stinky it pains me to see the line at only -4. Following a heartbreaking loss to the Giants, many novice handicappers believe that this will spell the end for the Cowboys. Furthermore, after crapping ourselves with the Eagles over the Falcons release last week, we believe we were a week early in predicting Atlanta's first loss of the season. Atlanta has struggled at home against weaker opponents such as Carolina and Oakland. Factor in a desperate Dallas team fighting for survival and you have a Cowboys cover.
Steelers 3.5 Over Giants. Take the Steelers moneyline $$$$$$ as well. We love the Giants but this is the perfect spot for them to come up short. After huge wins against the 49ers, Redskins, and Cowboys, the Giants are overdue for a flat performance at home. While we are no fan of the creep known as Big Ben, the Steelers veteran quarterback should be able to nullify the Giants pass rush with a short passing game. The fact that this line is hovering around 3.5 despite how poorly the Steelers have played on the road, suggests that the smart money knows something others do not.
*We will have another NFL selection coming once we complete our research. Stay tuned for College Football releases. There will be a MONSTER college play coming.

Same Theme....Different Night?
After watching the Heat cruise past a gritty veteran Boston Celtics squad two nights ago, I see an identical matchup tonight in the western conference between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. Like the Celtics, the Spurs are a saavy and well coached team that derives their leadership from veterans such as : Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginoboli. However, the Spurs have done an excellent job building around their aging superstars, as evidenced by last years league leading win total.
Despite a disappointing performance in last years NBA finals, the Thunder have shown marked improvement during the past few years. Even without six man of the year award winner, James Harden, the Thunder are loaded with young talent. Last years western conference playoffs were less a competition than a corination which saw the Thunder run all over their opponents. What does that all mean for tonight's home opener in San Antonio?
With the line currently sitting at Spurs -2, bookmakers are begging you to take the Thunder. From a historical point of view, it appears as though the Thunder are peaking while at best, the Spurs are holding their ground, defying father time. With seventy percent of the public backing the Thunder tonight, doesn't that mean smart money is stepping in and betting the Spurs?
Spurs -2 over the Thunder. While I am failing to adhere to one of my core tenets (aging teams), there are several other factors at work here. The Spurs are a great regular season team, specifically at home. If they are not fresh in game one of their season, then that is a terrible omen going forward. In addition, the common man is completely decked out in Kevin Durant jerseys.....what are the odds of 70% of the dopes out there being right tonight? Fade the concensus here and take the Spurs.

Opening Night.............
After a GOY (Game of the Year) stinkbomb release, I have vowed to make amends. What better way to right the ship then to bounce back with the NBA opening night card? A wise man once told me "I can accept losing but I will not tolerate sitting out games. If there is a game to wager on, then do so".
Heat vs. Celtics. At first glance this line seems a little light at Heat -6. However, cemented deep into handicappers minds everywhere is the long six game struggle, that was last years NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Furthermore, defending NBA champions are just 2-8 against the number in their last ten openers. For those looking to make a case for the Celtics, it appears they have found one.
Beware. While Rondo presents a matchup nightmare for Miami (along with almost every other team), the rest of his Celtics teammates are coasting on fumes. Without the services of Ray Allen, who is incidentally playing for the Heat, Boston will have more issues trying to run their offensive sets. As of now their best shooter is Kevin Garnett. While the Celtics remain a proud team with Pierce and the aforementioned Garnett, I cannot help but think that this could finally be the year where their age catches up with them.
After finally winning an NBA title that eluded him, expect to see a more relaxed Lebron James as he tries to lead the Heat in defense of their championship. During the past two years the Heat appeared at times to carry the burden of a team that was expected to win. In doing so, this was a squad that would play tight and allow lessor teams to compete with them. This year is a different story. Two teams but only one is going in the right direction.
The Release.....Heat -6 over Celtics.

World Series.....
In an effort to be as succinct as possible, I will cut right to the chase. Tonight's 5 Star release is the Under 6.5 runs. Here's the logic: the shadows around home plate will present nightmares for both teams since it is a 5pm start pacific time. Verlander has been unhittable this post season, so this extra advantage should keep the Giants' offense contained. Conversely, the Tigers bats have been rested for a week now and while Zito is a wildcard, he has pitched very well this post season. Take the under and hope for a 3-2 final score.
