After wagering on professional sports for over two decades, in 1999 I was asked to write a weekly column for Winner’s Edge which later morphed into Every Edge. Picking only NFL selections and submitting my play on Sunday night for the following week, I went 60%+ in numerous seasons with these complementary selections. In the 2000 campaign Winner’s Edge published a Workbook and I contributed 28 over/under selections. These “totals” were predicted in early April, shortly after the NFL schedule was announced.
