We start each week by scouring our computer database that can give us over 25 years of information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. We have developed many solid systems over the years, all of which are very successful. Strong systems in general are much more powerful than trends. A trend is normally delegated to one team or one series.

For many handicappers in our industry their selection process ends when their computer spits out football picks each week that fall into certain criteria. This may provide moderate success for them but we like to go the extra mile for our customers. We personally evaluate each team based on HUNDREDS of hours of watching live games, taped games, etc.

We are very confident in our ability to watch teams play and then project those evaluations into how they will perform in upcoming weeks vs. specific teams. After watching games each week, we spend countless hours combing over all of the statistics for each matchup, including offensive, defensive, home vs. road dichotomy and point-spread analysis,.

We then check how each team matches up personnel-wise with their upcoming opponent. We expand on that by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of every team and how they equate to this weekend’s opponent.

We also have a number of contacts around the country who are close to specific programs. If one of those people calls and tells us that a team we are considering had a horrible week of practice and simply isn’t mentally prepared for the game, then we must weigh that into our decision. Are there any key injuries? What has been their scheduling situation leading up to this game?

So as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against a certain team, that doesn’t mean that we automatically use it as a selection. It must go through our in-depth process with all things considered before we give it the ASA stamp of approval.

Looking at games from all of these angles gives us the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Our handicapping theories have proven successful over the years because we provide our customers with the one thing they look for in this industry and that is WINNING SPORTS PICKS!
