Not doing well lately. Trying too hard to pick games to chose, when I should be picking all of the games. Perhaps its school getting tougher, plus Im sick, so I havent looked at games very closely. I am almost .500, so beware. This is my redemption week though. I am picking almost every game on the board. No explanations given due to volume:
