A solid week for our official plays last week, with both of our Big Plays winning and our Other Plays going 1-1. Unfortunately, all three of our leans lost. Didn’t get to watch any of the games, as I’m on a mindfulness retreat (with 25 of my new best friends!) in Ecuador, but I’m still running the…
Last week was basically a wash, with our Big Plays going 1-1-1 (2-1 if you were able to get the Saints at +6.5 instead of +6), Other Plays 1-1, and both leans won. Here’s what we have for this week: Big Plays: (2-4-1 YTD) Tennessee -3 +100 vs. Jacksonville [MP Line: TEN -5.6] Green Bay +3 at Atlanta [MP…
We won our only Big Play of the week last week, with San Diego winning outright against Denver. We split our Other Plays, as Miami won outright as a touchdown dog, the Jets were blown out in the desert, and Indianapolis blew a double-digit fourth quarter lead and lost in overtime, giving us a push. And unfortunately, both of…

Wanted to post this pick early, since we actually have a play on the Thursday night game. I’ll get around to posting last week’s college football and NFL grades shortly, but I’m in Vegas moving condos this week, so things are a little hectic for me. Will have the rest of the game picks posted this…
We continued our losing ways last week, going 0-2 on our official plays, with neither coming close to covering. We drop to 2-8 on official plays on the young season (and 2-4 on leans). Still, even if your baseline expectation is 55%, you’re going to have some stretches like this one. If there was a guaranteed profit every week, it…

Recapping another losing week isn’t fun. So I’ll keep it succinct. Not the start to the season we were hoping for, but in the words of Nick Saban (…and Sam Hinkie) we will “trust the process” as we always have. Not unexpected at all to have runs like we have the first three weeks. Chicago did not…
Here are our “grades” for NFL Week 3. We control for game location and opponent quality, and discount garbage time situations. exp score diff is how we’d expect the team to do against an average team on a neutral field based on the way they actually played in the game, but using only predictive metrics. pctile rating is a rating of the team’s performance,…
It’s been a slow start thus far this year, with our official plays going 1-1, while both of our leans lost. That puts us at 1-3 on the year, but it is early days still. Here are this week’s picks: Big Plays (0-2 YTD) Chicago +7/+7.5 at Dallas [M-P Line: CHI +3.1] Other Plays (1-1…
