A few weeks ago I ventured over to Ed McNamara's desk to ask a long, long-time student and observer of sports handicapping an important question.
"Ed, what's a good success rate for picking against the spread?"
"Anything above 53% is worth talking about. Where are you for the season?"
"54…"
Saved by the bell, huh? I would like to be at least 60%, but I'll take anything above 53…especially after this crazy year.
But it's not over yet.
Countless hours and several thousand words later, I bring you the 2007-2008 bowl preview.
Later I will post some analysis of my picks and in a few weeks time we'll see if this mess was worth my time. Until then, enjoy, comment, drop me a line if you see any errors (editing 7k of your own words isn't easy).
