    About Mel's NFL Handicapping Hub

    This site began as Mel's Free NFL Picks in 1994, making it the longest running NFL handicapping website on the internet. Originally, it offered free NFL picks and published the first statistically based NFL power ratings available online. The picks generated a net profit over a 14-year period, establishing a reputation for reliable analysis. Since then the site has evolved into a resource hub, carefully curating the NFL handicapping information and tools that I use to help formulate my NFL wagers. I don't give out "picks" although last season I did post my actual bets prior to the games. I had a record year, but I'm not planning on posting any of my plays in the future. Links will periodically be added or deleted to keep the site up to date. (site updated 9/6/25)
