Welcome to another week of The Sports Savant NFL Picks, Week 5 Edition!
With the return of the real referees, the games in Week 4 we’re a little easier to predict. The replacement refs were adding an unknown element to every pick and causing a lot of perfectly good prediction analysis look bad with their sometimes erroneous penalty calls and ball spotting blunders. The Savant is back to form though going 10-5 in last week’s games to win. The spread still has much to be improved but there is still a lot of time left in the year to get it turned around. It can be no coincidence also that last week I had four trifectas to two strikeouts where in the replacement ref games I was striking out at a rate I am not accustomed too, but everyone was for that matter with how unpredictable games were with the backup refs at the helm.
So with that comes NFL Week 5. I’m looking to get back on track with the spread and continue my dominance in picking the winner and also continue a nice Over/Under record going forward. Before we look at my Week 5 picks, lets take a look at my Week 4 results…
