We hit our Seattle pick last week, moving our YTD record to 51-43-2 (54.3%). Our WSJ picks got bumped (by HGH!) so we are still 33-26-1 (55.9%) there.
Full predictions this weekend:
SF 24, ATL 22
NE 30, BAL 22
But those mean another weekend without picks, as the market largely agrees. We like SF by 1.75 while the market has them at 4, which is close. But we haven’t made a 2.25 edge a pick since the first half of the season. That’s the closest thing we have. We have NE by 8.3 vs. the market’s 8, and both our totals are within 2 of market.
As always, our lines are calculated directly from our power rankings – we don’t consider non-QB injuries, weather, matchups, etc. Lines are from Bookmaker (via sbrodds.com) as of Friday, 1/18, 8:30am MST. “Big Plays” are games with at least 4-point edges, while “Other Plays” are those with 2.5- to 4-point edges.
Big Plays (21-17-1 YTD)
