Saturday Picks
Next week I'll post my record so far, though I still believe I'm ahead of the blindfolded, dart-throwing monkey. Probably not by a whole lot, but I'm over 50 percent. Given the fact that sports are inherently random, as long as I do better than being completely random, I'll take it.On to the picks....
