Welcome to another week of The Sports Savant NFL Picks, Week 10 Edition!
Week 9 was an interesting week of very close matchups. So close, in fact, that I took a number of underdogs to win games; more than I can ever remember taking in a single week. The thought going in was that I would either end up a genius at the end of Sunday’s games or I would have a miserable week of picks. It turned out neither were the case as I had an above average week with about half of my underdog predictions panning out. Others were very close to working, including the biggest upset pick, Dallas winning over Atlanta in the Georgia Dome. But Atlanta made a great 4th quarter comeback and spoiled that Savant revelation.
It’s never a bad week when I come out above .500 with my spread picks and coming in at 8-6 was good a solid result for my friends who use my picks to gamble. The over/under was below par, as it can often be as fickle as it is, but if you like to play with fire, my over/under picks still stand as some of the best against anyone this year in the aggregate of 2012.
The real nice surprise behind my Week 9 picks was the addition of four perfect team score predictions, but even more impressive is what was my third perfect game score in the last season and a half of NFL game prognostications. For the first time in 2012, I nailed a perfect game score, the 31-17 final between Green bay and Arizona. If you can get the right odds on picking a perfect game score, I would highly suggest playing some of my exact score picks. I pick a perfect game score well above the expected probability.
Before we look at my picks for Week 10, let’s take a look at how last weeks picks shaped up and my overall records for the 2012 NFL season…
