Week 12 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
This is just impossible. There are bad weeks. There are bad months. But it is maddening to see that an entire season just refuses to play by the rules. This is nothing new, as we have basically written this same introduction a number of times over the past few months, but it is bordering on […]
DFS Plays: NFL Week 11 DFS Game-by-Game Analysis
Not every week of the NFL season brings an underlying storyline, but Sunday’s is undeniable – revenge. Indeed, the teams are not necessarily enacting revenge on their opponents, but rather release their frustration on the unwitting franchise unlucky enough to be on the receiving end. Specifically, a few of the best fantasy options of the […]
Week 11 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
There it is. In one fell swoop, the rug was pulled from under the feet of the entire football-watching world. Only, unlike previous weeks, there were more feet standing on the rug.

All four teams won and covered their spreads. There were no letdowns. Not one. Easy picks. Easy […]

As the scales tilt towards the back-end of the schedule, we also see a less balanced slate of games than we received, last week. There are a handful of potentially one-sided contests, which sets up […]
Week 9 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
Believe it or not, it began as expected. The tide slowly – and subtly – began to shift. As noted in last week’s introduction, the 2016 season has been incredibly odd, but not because of wild swings of action or random bouts of luck – although they have also been present – but for the […]
DFS Plays: NFL Week 8 DFS Game-by-Game Analysis
With six teams on bye weeks and an early-morning Sunday game in London, we have one of the lightest slates of the year in Week 8. Only eleven games – ten if you partake in DraftKing’s Millionaire Maker tournament – are featured in this week’s column. As was our belief in Week 7, there are […]
