We continue to move through this outstanding season, and I’m honestly not sure what to say at this point. I’m hesitant to address the current state of the picks because we know how quickly things can change, but I’m also supremely proud of where we are.
We’re also lucky.
We would be foolish to think that bad luck strikes us when we lose but good luck is nonexistent. In the past, we had one bad year where the numbers just wouldn’t work. They failed, and they failed repeatedly. But that was a year that was ‘off.’ Nothing more, nothing less.
Right now, the year is ‘on.’ And there’s nothing more to do about it than continue to ride the wave.
Below are predictions for each game against the spread. Spreads have been taken from various websites and are subject to change. The spread in parenthesis denotes the selected team. Spread is listed as advertised number and odds at either DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, Caesar’s Sportsbook, or SugarHouse Sportsbook. All efforts were made to provide picks at -110 or better, with some stretching to a -125 if no reasonable advertised spread was found.

Something has to be wrong. Those who make the odds must watch football, right? They must read headlines, no? Don’t they have to have some knowledge of what we can expect to happen?
Of course.
Of course, those who carry the risk of being wrong with a number take everything necessary into account. How, then, could they be wrong with a number?
Simple.
