Meet Ern - NFL Game-Winner Forecaster Behind Ern's Edge

I'm 64 years old, retired, and living in the Texas Hill Country. I've been fascinated with football since I was six years old — the momentum swings, the matchups, the injuries, the statistics, and exactly how each variable shifts the probability of who walks off that field with a win.

I went offshore for the first time in 1981 as a roustabout with my dominant right hand in a cast up to my elbow, and worked my way up over 17 years to earn my United States Coast Guard Official Offshore Installation Manager License. I then began my Directional Drilling career. I spent my career in an industry where your analysis and intuitive actions either hold up under pressure or they don't. We were caught offshore during a hurricane. Twice. And had to ride them out. The Coast Guard couldn't get out to rescue us. We went down in a helicopter once as well. 10/10 do not suggest. 

In 1998 I found out I'd been born with polycystic kidney disease and never knew it. Twelve years of disability followed. In 2009 I had a bilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplant - my old kidneys weighed about 6 pounds each. My new one weighed  about 11 ounces, like a normal kidney should. My angel live kidney donor — a friend I rode bulls with in high school — unselfishly gave me the gift of life without a second thought. After a lengthy recovery, I went back to work Directional Drilling on land. 

I'm not a slick marketing person, which is exactly why I don't take shortcuts with my research. There will never be any made up results on my page, or anything of the sort. Welcome to full disclosure and honesty, although I may talk a little smack here and there :). For decades I've competed in an ESPN Pigskin Pick'em group against some of the sharpest football minds I know, including one of my best friends of 45 years. We do serious research every week. We give each other massive amounts of grief to whoever loses the week. I win. A lot. Against extremely accomplished opponents. The records you see on this site, 361-182 over the last two seasons, aren't marketing. They are what happens when you treat football like a discipline instead of a "good feeling". 

I built Ern's Edge because I finally decided to share what I've spent a long time developing with my programs and modeling. No hype. No broken promises. Just the sharpest game-winner forecasts I can give you every week. Backed by two years of verified ESPN results and a lifetime of football obsession.

100% Full refund if you're not satisfied after your first week.

That's the deal.
