In 1973, Dennis Ranahan parlayed a summer internship and training camp job to a full-time position with the Oakland Raiders. His rise in the organization was tied to his relationship with the Raiders dynamic owner, Al Davis. In 1981, Ranahan took his knowledge of the league, and what makes an athlete and team perform above or below their accepted level, to the task of delivering winning point spread decisions to clients. He named his company Qoxhi Picks, taking five "football" letters to create the name. "Q" for quarterback, "O" for offense, "X" for defense and "HI" to represent a motivational high, which is the key to his success as a handicapper. Today, Ranahan is a weekly featured guest on KNBR radio in the San Francisco Bay Area and publishes insightful handicapping stories and point spread edges on his website: picksfootball.com. In 2001, Ranahan introduced an online tool that is designed to transform wagering on football to a lucrative business investment. The business Account Manager allows clients to declare an opening account balance and receive exact wager amounts on each Qoxhi selection to stay within any of the five money management strategies offered on the site. In the 23 seasons this investment tool has been available, 20 seasons have shown a profit with the Basic Strategy and in 43 years the weekly Top Pick has never had a losing campaign. Ranahan makes his home in the East Bay with his wife of 49 years, Pam, and they have two children and five grandchildren.
