NFL Picks Week 8: Thursday Night Football, Chargers at Broncos

Thursday Night Football Picks, Week Eight: Chargers Broncos

NFL Picks: San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos

I liked this game when the spread came out around 7, but now that it’s up to ten it’s starting to lose value for me. The same appears to be true of the computer algorithm, which suggests a 91% likelihood of a money line win for the Broncos, but diminishing value in the spread and the line – particularly as it has moved.

This game, for me, comes down to a few basic factors. Unfortunately, some of them are rather intangible.

Home field on a short week always favors the home team. To travel into a noisy stadium and attempt to execute your offense in a hostile environment when you aren’t fully prepared to face a defensive scheme is incredibly difficult – especially when contrasted against the peaceful quiet the home team operates under. It directly impacts the game. That said, Peyton Manning  ...

ROUND 3 RECAP

Beautifully! Another fantastic round and contenders finished in solid profit overall! Most trustful team in round 3 was Anaheim, 4 of 8 best contenders made a profit on Ducks. Round 3 finished also first stage in points classification. This means top 30 players were awarded with first pool of points. Note that bankroll reset doesn’t affect stage profit, it resets only main bankroll. This is why David(davidsalda79) didn’t receive points despite he is now at 25th position. However David perfectly used bankroll reset and now he is back on track. Also Kaushik(sicariouz) and Rogelio(rospefle)  ...

NFL Picks Contest Week 8 ($200 Prizes): Packers Saints

Someone tell me how the Saints are favored after how horrible they’ve been all year? This is a straightforward Las Vegas trap game if I’ve ever seen one – even though I know the Saints are much better at home in the dome. Heck, that’s probably what the trap is being laid for… so who ya got? Saints -1 is the line, but for our purposes let’s just make it a pick ’em.

NFL Picks Contest ($200 Prize Money): Peyton Manning Dominates

Well, a few of you got risky and it definitely didn’t work out. There is some serious clutter at the top as a result, especially with second place taking home some prize money, too. Pat O jumped out to the lead and needs only three more wins to take home the grand prize. Here are our NFL Picks Contest Standings after Week Seven:

NFL Picks Week Seven, Sunday Night Football: Niners Broncos

NFL Picks Week Seven: San Francisco 49ers +6.5 at Denver Broncos

Contest Game, Sunday Night Football

For me, the only reason I’ll be watching this game is because Peyton Manning is two touchdowns shy of an NFL record. Additionally, that probably gives him an even bigger stage to perform on and he rarely lets us down on his home field.

That being said, while I don’t think the 49ers are all that good (and highly dysfunctional, San Francisco is playing excellent football lately. To think they can’t keep it within a touchdown is strange. +7 with the hook looks like  ... 

Monday Night Football Picks: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams

NFL Picks Week Six, Monday Night Football: 49ers at Rams

The San Francisco 49ers are an interesting team. They have a coach they want to fire after incredible, sustained success. They have a quarterback that very suddenly isn’t achieving after being handed the reins. They have a dysfunctional locker room brimming with talent, struggling with inconsistency. Thus, we have our -3 line on the road against a bad Rams team.

To that end, the St. Louis Rams are an interesting team too. Without their starting quarterback, they’ve found a way to win with a third stringer and be  ... 

NFL Picks Week Six, Sunday Night Football: Giants Eagles

NFL Picks Week Six: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles

Our only system play today was the Baltimore Ravens and that one was over shortly after it started. Sitting pretty, we’ll look at the Sunday Night Game, despite it’s lack of value and computer signal.

Z-Code suggests staying away, and I agree. The computer has basically a coin flip output with a small spread. The algorithm is essentially saying “Vegas got this right, just watch and enjoy a good game”. It is further limited in value by the fact that Sunday Night Football is always a highly public betting  ...

ROUND 1 RECAP

Hello contenders! I am impressed by your really great response! You placed 127  PODs, that is historical record! Hot start for the contest! That was not easy NFL week for bettors, with ups and downs, comebacks and collapses in many matches. Statistically biggest profit in the contest gave Chargers, Seahawks and Panthers. What a game it was in Caroline, from hell to the heaven! On the opposite side are Saints and Bengals who took away profit from contenders. Overall break even round which is quite good in tough week, but like always we have  ...
