Against All Odds: Pittsburgh SportsNation's Vegas Picks

By Mike Drakulich, Pittsburgh SportsNation

Presenting PSN's Vegas Picks, a weekly feature matching wits between myself and my dad. I choose the games and make my picks for the week, and my dad (MJD) agrees or disagrees. Each week we include the local teams, Pitt, Penn State, WVU, and the Steelers unless they are not scheduled.

The NCAA regular season is over with the exception of one last game, that being the annual Army-Navy game, so we'll be choosing nine NFL games this week as we await Bowl Season to begin, in which we will include every Bowl Game for that respective week. Last week I posted another pedestrian record going 5-5, while my dad equaled that tally. Still got him by 8 games, though!
