So we decided that now would be the perfect time to bring back The Las Vegas Nightmare for the last time of the 2009-2010 season as The New Orleans Saints get set to play The Indianapolis Colts in Superbowl XLIV.]]> http://big-nasty.com/2010/02/nfl-superbowl-spreadshredder-return-of-the-king/feed/ 1 http://big-nasty.com/2009/12/nfl-spreadshredder-week-16-pointspreading-the-holiday-cheer/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/12/nfl-spreadshredder-week-16-pointspreading-the-holiday-cheer/#comments Fri, 25 Dec 2009 18:00:10 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=2142 Special thanks to Bob Mantz Jr. of Bob's Blitz and The New York Post for appearing as our celebrity handicapper in last week's SpreadSHREDDER. Bob took 3 tough games last week, and is one of the best in the business. Now that I'm back, I hope to continue to stake that claim as well. ]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/12/nfl-spreadshredder-week-16-pointspreading-the-holiday-cheer/feed/ 0 http://big-nasty.com/2009/12/nfl-spreadshredder-week-14-battle-of-the-embattled/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/12/nfl-spreadshredder-week-14-battle-of-the-embattled/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:00:51 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=1982 With The SpreadSHREDDER going belly up for the first time in history, and after a 1-3 week last week, we have now been presented with the opportunity to shred some adversity as well as the week 14 spreads.

Since we have been so hot giving away these particular tips, and in the interest of fairness and The Holiday Spirit, we have decided to share the extra tips with the world and put them on The SpreadSHREDDER. Don't ask us for anything else this Christmas.]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-holiday-bonus-we-come-bearing-gifts/feed/ 0 http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-12-thanksgiving-the-points/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-12-thanksgiving-the-points/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:42:03 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=1781 Last week, The SpreadSHREDDER suffered its first losing week against the spread since week 2 but A. That Red-hot Raiders Pick that lead The SpreaddSHREDDER made you the smartest person in the room and B. It'll only take three days for us to get back to my winning ways. Now let's go shred some spreads. ]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-12-thanksgiving-the-points/feed/ 0 http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-11-who-dey-think-dey-gonna-take-dem-points/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-11-who-dey-think-dey-gonna-take-dem-points/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:00:07 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=1688 The SpreadSHREDDER kept it in neutral, after the first tie ATS in SpreadSHREDDER history, however extended it's unbeaten streak ATS while hiccuping in the wagering total category (a hiccup that we made up for earlier tonight with our 'ghost' under pick of the Dolphins/Panthers game). With 6 weeks left to reach our new and improved goal of a 70% threshold against the spread, we open with another upset in the making.]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/11/nfl-spreadshredder-week-11-who-dey-think-dey-gonna-take-dem-points/feed/ 1 http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-9-cutlers-revenge-parte-deux/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-9-cutlers-revenge-parte-deux/#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:00:34 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=1389 Last week, many of you found out that The SpreadSHREDDEER had a sister because The SpreadSHREDDER was definitely making out with her with that 1-1-1 push weekend. Either way, we are officially halfway through the season and The SpreadSHREDDER has only had one losing week (week 2), which occurred on a weekend when 4 games were picked against the spread instead of 3. With The NFL at the halfway mark and plenty of games ripe to be bet on this week, we intend to atone for our only losing week six weeks ago with yet another 4-pick SpreadSHREDDER. Consider it a nice little Halloween treat.]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-9-cutlers-revenge-parte-deux/feed/ 0 http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-7-sell-the-saints/ http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-7-sell-the-saints/#comments Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:00:20 +0000 The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. http://big-nasty.com/?p=1253 The SpreadSHREDDER continues its roll after highlighting last week by picking The Oakland Raiders, who came through and cashed on the 'upset' of the year thus far in The NFL. As we proceed, look for yet another upset pick to appear at the top of the SpreadSHREDDER as well as the first ever Over/Under pick in SpreadSHREDDER history. ]]> http://big-nasty.com/2009/10/nfl-spreadshredder-week-7-sell-the-saints/feed/ 1
