Q: In a few sentences, explain as an expert how you prepare for your weekly best bets for the upcoming NFL Picks and College Football Picks seasons?

A: In the NFL I adjust last season's power ratings based on Free Agent trades , draft picks that may have an impact, and coaching changes. It gives me a starting point. We pay close attention to week 2 of the NFL Preseason when starters get at least 2 to 3 quarters of action and see how that shakes out.

In college football, I again establish Power ratings using a myriad of variables and sources, I access numerous spring game films and local reaction from sports beat writers, and follow closely on all beat sports writer's reports / blogs out of fall practice. Number of returning starters, QB ratings of returning QB's, and skill position player returners as well. Grading offensive lines is also a huge handicap.
