Pickin' & Grinin' Again

Last week's 11-3 rebound boosted my season record to 77-39, and this week we're going to make things a little more interesting. In addition to my normal weekly picks, I am going to also pick all the games against the spread. My record for the year (straight up) is respectable, so let's see how I do over the second half of the season when the point spread is in the mix.

Here are my picks against the spread. Read on to see who I'm picking straight up!
