    Toddorts NFL 2012-2013 Season Picks

    Well, been off SBR for a while. Had a bunch of other stuff going on, so took a break from sports betting for months. But now I'm ready to get back into the game with the NFL season starting up! Here is my record from last NFL season:

    112-72-5
    60.87%
    +32.17 units

    Hopefully this season can be even half as good!

    The first pick of the season:

    Cowboys @ Giants OVER 45 -110

    First night on Wednesday didn't go so hot. Didn't watch the game, because I was busy watching the DNC convention (sorry, can't miss a Bill Clinton speech). So, can't really comment on what happened. But here's the record after that first night, then I'll get to today's picks:

    0-1-0
    0%
    -1.00 unit

    The only thing I have for tonight's game is a total. I lean towards the Falcons on a side at -3, but I'm not confident enough in it to make a play. Here's the pick:

    Broncos @ Falcons UNDER 51.5 -110

    I use pure statistical analysis. No "gut" feelings or subjective factors. Teams that have huge changes that wildly affect the stats will be passed every time. For example, I didn't make any plays on games last year involving the Colts, because I felt the loss of Manning was too big of a factor to be able to reliably calculate odds. Betting on those games was more guess work than analysis, in my opinion.

    Got a pick on both a side and total for tonight. The side is a close call. I would have preferred to go with -3, but everybody has shifted the line to -120 on that spread, and I'm not willing to pay that much juice on such a close call. The better bet is selling an extra half point on the spread to get the the payout up to +105, which 5Dimes is offering. Anyway, the picks:

    Packers @ Seahawks OVER 45.5 -110
    PACKERS @ Seahawks -3.5 +105

    Roger Goodell can burn in hell, and so can his SCAB officials! The Packers had that game absolutely stolen from them by incompetent SCAB refs. As a result, the record for the night was bad at 0-2, -2.00 units.

    Hopefully tonight's play will make up for yesterday's small loss. My numbers say the Bears have a very good chance of winning this one outright by about a field goal, so giving them an extra 3 points makes this an easy call. Here's the pick:

    BEARS @ Cowboys +3 +105

    Two bets on tonight's game. My formulas put this at an incredibly close game, with both teams scoring in the 24-28 range. That makes the total an easy call at 43.5, and the spread an even easier call. I found a +7 at Sportsbook.com, which is my least favorite sportsbook, but I'm willing to use them when they have the best odds (which is rare). In this case, everyone else is offering the Titans at only +6 or +6.5, and as we all know, that extra half point is a very big deal in this sport when it gets you to +7. I still would have played the Titans at the lower spread, but when I can get +7 at -110 or better, that's what I'm going with, even with a less than preferred book. Anyway, here are the picks:

    Steelers @ Titans OVER 43.5 -108
    Steelers @ TITANS +7 -110
