NELLY’S FOOTBALL: Our football service features two main branches with a weekly newsletter (the Green Sheet) that is released on Wednesdays and offers analysis and an opinion on every NFL game and a highlighted portion of the college football schedule each week. We also offer a phone service that pares down the massive schedule into our top recommendations for the week with updates on the weeknight afternoons and generally a Friday afternoon update for the weekend. The newsletter is included with the phone service but they are considered separate entities. The newsletter selections are on an early week deadline while our phone service selections can incorporate a much more exhaustive handicapping process.

We currently rate our phone service selections on a 1-5-7-9 star rating scale. Most picks will be 5* selections. 1* picks are effectively opinions, reserved to offer at least a lean on a major contest of interest. 7* and 9* picks are rare top plays. 

The Green Sheet features Key Selections on a Rating 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 system but those selections are not meant to be weighted wagering recommendations like the phone service selections.

Our Football Service has been in existence since the 1989-90 season with numerous winning seasons, accolades, contest championships, and top rankings at national monitors.
