Against All Odds: Pittsburgh SportsNation's Vegas Picks

By Mike Drakulich, Pittsburgh SportsNation

It's another exciting week in the land of picking against the spread, as PSN was once again above .500 in picking winners in week 4. Hard to believe big, bad Baltimore couldn't cover the spread vs lowly Cleveland, or WVU not covering a -11.5 spread despite scoring 70 points! Really WVU? Losses like that are killing me! The elder Drakulich fell another game farther behind PSN as he went 5-5.
