Off the Board Episode 49 with Craig Trapp


Welcome back to Off the Board, CalvinAyre.com’s sports and sports betting podcast. This week we had another first timer on the podcast as Craig Trapp from CTSportspicks.com and PicksandParlay.net joined us on the show. Checkout the previous Episode 48 with Matt Foust.


We talked a little about his college basketball career, degenerate college coaches, he gave us some tips for betting parlays and of course he gave us some free college football and NFL betting picks for this weekend. I’ve been asked to post my personal picks because last year some of you who watched the show made a killing by betting against me in the Beat the Cock challenge.


I’m not going to post all of the plays but I’ll make picks for the NFL prime time games each week. So here we go so feel free to fade away. (Note lines listed are at time of writing)


San Francisco at St. Louis – +3


San Francisco has looked awful the past couple of weeks. Player are bitching about the coach, Aldon Smith is gone for the season to deal with a substance problem and Colin Kapernick has no TDs and 4 picks in his last two games. On a short week and no time to fix their problems I think the Rams continue to be a thorn in the side of the 49ers.


Pick – St. Louis Rams +3


New England at Atlanta – -2


In their first three games, the Patriots have faced two rookies and Josh Freeman. Save for a couple of bounces against the Jets and Bills, the Pats could be 1-2. For the Falcons losing two close games on the road to the Saints and a surprisingly strong Miami team is nothing to be ashamed of. The Patriots will look fallible here and the Falcons win by a touchdown.


Pick – Atlanta Falcons -2


Miami at New Orleans – -6


Miami has looked very strong in their opening 3 games. With wins over the Browns, Colts and Falcons but those teams aren’t the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are still heating up on offense and their defense is looking solid albeit against Atlanta and two lackluster opponents. Still Miami isn’t going to dominate with their offense so the Saints defense should hold on and let the offense go to work.


Pick – New Orleans Saints -6


Ok so if history proves true, fade my picks and you’re gonna make some money.
