And the one thing every pro needs is up-to-the-minute information on each week’s games and matchups. Bookmark this site now so you can come back every week to get the insider’s edge on the NFL and NCAA games.

Here are three picks for week two of the NFL pre-season…

Take the Chargers +3.5 against the Bears.  The Chargers will win this one straight up.

Hurry up on this one.  The Titans are getting 6 points in a pre-seaon game against the Denver Broncos.  This is PRE-SEASON everybody.  Nobody should be favored by 6.  Take the Titans +6.

Atlanta is playing the Packers.  Did you watch the Packers last week?  The only way these teams are going to beat the over is if Atlanta beats it by themselves.  Take UNDER 36 in this one.

Tonight’s game might end up 0-0 after overtime.  Neither one of these teams has been impressive, and things aren’t going to change tonight.  Take Under 35.5 and watch reruns of Fresh Prince of Bel Air if you want to be entertained tonight.

Lesser-known players are on the verge of raising their profiles enough to make an AFC roster.

It’s the Saints vs. Titans that we’re looking at tonight. No need to get into many details here. The Saints, as usual, are going to look to establish a “winnimg tradition” in August. They’ll still be 5-11 in January, but at least they might win a game before September. Plus, the Saints are getting 3.5 tonight. Take the Saints and the points.

Buffalo and Carolina might not score more than 2 TD’s tonight. That’s 14 points. They’ll need 7 field goals to get close to the over/under line. Yeah, right. These teams are more likely to wear fancy hats and go to a tea party tomorrow than they are to score 36 points tonight. Take the under. (Hey… I heard tea partys are all that bad!)
