FIRSTDOWN SAYS :
Welcome to my personal betting page on the site where I will post football betting tips on top US sports.
I mainly focus on the NFL Football, NCAA Football and MLB Baseball, but I will also make picks for anything else that catches my eye as a good profitable bet.
This page is where you can easily access all the sports betting picks that I post on the GoonersGuide.com website.
ABOUT FIRSTDOWN :
FirstDown is a longtime Miami Dolphins fan - and is a little too young to remember the 1972 Dolphins that completed the NFL's only perfect season culminating in a Super Bowl win, winning all 14 of their regular-season games, both of their NFL playoff games, and also Super Bowl VII.
So he's been doing it pretty tough over the last 20 years as the Dolphins have struggled to impress and have omly played ONE post-season game in the last 15 years, losing a Wildcard game 9-27 to the Baltimore Ravens in January 2009.

BE CAREFUL WHEN BETTING :
Finally - please remember that football betting is always a gamble so bet within your financial means -
and do not bet the rent money or the power bill fund - no matter how sure you think the winner is.
Good Luck
