For all your real estate needs in Central Florida around Ocala and The Villages, please feel free to contact me.



First, please take a minute to honor and remember the events of September 11, 2001.  Pray for the victims and the brave souls who were the first responders on the scene of that horrific event.  God Bless them all, and God Bless America.  We will never forget.

It is Thursday, here are this week's college and pro football picks.  REMEMBER, gambling is prohibited at Bushwood, sir.  This is for entertainment only.

Every week, I will always pick the nationally televised games, the Dolphin game, and at least 1 game at 1:00 pm and 1 game at 4:00 pm on Sunday.  Usually, a total of seven games.  

How did I do last week? 

Not too shabby, thank you.  I selected eight games last week, since there were two games on Monday night.  

Went 7-1 against the spread, 8-0 overall, since I took the Broncos against the Colts, but they only won by seven points.  That damn ½ point got me.  I'll take 7-1 vs the spread and 8-0 overall anytime.

Winners highlighted.

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS):

SEATTLE (-4 ½) over Green Bay
MIAMI (+3 ½) over New England
PHILADELPHIA (-9) over Jacksonville
HOUSTON (-3) over Washington
San Francisco (-4 ½) over DALLAS
DENVER (-7 ½) over Indianapolis

MONDAY NIGHT
DETROIT (-5 ½)over New York Giants
San Diego +3 over ARIZONA

LAST SEASON, I FINISHED THE SEASON WITH A 61-51-7 RECORD AGAINST THE SPREAD, AND 72-47 OVERALL.  That was last year, here is now.

HERE ARE MY NFL GAME SELECTIONS FOR THIS WEEK.  My picks are highlighted :

Thursday

Steelers +3 @ Ravens

Tough to pick against the Ravens at home, but I will take the Steelers plus the 3 points.  Too much stuff going on with the Ravens.  

Sunday

Dolphins even @ the Bills

Close game, according to the oddsmakers in Las Vegas.  I like what the Fins did last week, I look for them to carry that over to this Sunday in Buffalo.  Taking the Dolphins even.

Patriots -3 @ Vikings

Do I really see the Pats losing two in a row to start off the season?  No.  Taking the Pats, minus the 3 points.

Saints -6 @ Browns

Ditto on the Saints.  Taking New Orleans, minus the 6 points.

Jets @ Packers -6

The Jets aren't the Seattle Seahawks on offense, and Aaron Rodgers is better than the Jets' defense. Taking the Pack at home, minus the 6 points. 

Bears + 7 ½ @ 49ers 

San Francisco didn't impress me last week against Dallas, as four Cowboys turnovers led to 21 points for the 49ers.  The Bears are angry after their surprising home loss to the Bills.  I'm taking the Bears plus the 7 ½ points.

Monday Night

Eagles + 3 ½  @ Colts

After a very sluggish first half last week against the Jaguars, the Eagles snapped out of it and scored 34 unanswered points in the second half.  The Colts made it close at the end against Denver last week.  This could be the best game of the weekend.  In a heart-tugging pick, I'm taking the Eagles plus the 3 ½ points.  

Notice that my picks are 6 road teams.  That's just how I roll. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This Saturday, in games involving state of Florida universities:

Pittsburgh (-25 ½) @ FIU 12 Noon

Kentucky @ Florida (-17 ½) 7:30 pm

My winners this week are Pittsburgh, Maryland, Miami, Florida Atlantic, and Florida.  Sorry, UCF and FIU.  NOTE:  Just picking winners, no point spreads taken into consideration.

Behave yourselves, and always remember that tomorrow will bring us a brand new day.  Enjoy the games this weekend!!
