My name is John Ryan and I will be providing my 5* Monster Plays and an occasional rare 20* Lock Release here on this thread. I have been handicapping all sports for 18 years and have done particularly well with the NFL. You may have seen me on SBR and already be familiar with my work, research, and methodologies. This season I will be providing picks with extensive research that shows you why I am on a given play. This will undoubtedly promote strong discussions and debate, but hopefully this will be learning experience for all of you. I often think of the movie Wall Street where Michael Douglas (Gorden Gekko) states that 'Information is the most powerful commodity I know". Well, I fully agree with that simple fact and my goal is to provide winning information to you for the NFL regular season.
