I've never bet NFL before (only casually I guess here and there) because lines are so sharp in this league, but I had nothing else to do for a while so made a model that I want to test and adjust for the next 3 years. Don't expect to beat NFL because lol at everyone else if they've been trying their whole lives to develop workings predictive models for the NFL and failing and this crude piece of garbage works. I will give credit to the human race and expect it to not be that simple. I can already see some flaws in it but don't know how/what to adjust it, so only way to learn that is by testing it for a good sample size (I chose 3 years as a random number, who knows how long it will take; if I even decide to learn about the NFL at all in the meantime as well will be a factor)

Looking for a 4+ perceived edge for a 1 unit bet and a 7.5+ for 2 units. Key numbers blah blah blah. Here's week 1 results:

With my buffer zone, the bets are
CHI +6.5 2u
HOU pk 1u
BUF +2.5 1u
CAR/JAX Under 40.5 1u
JAX +3 1u
STL +4 1u
NO/ARI Under 48.5 1u
DET/SD Under 45.5 1u
CIN/OAK Under 43.5 1u
OAK +3
BAL/DEN Over 48 1u
NYG +6 1u

I'm not even betting these myself since its way too many, although I agree with some of the underrated home dogs picked. Particularly STL, BUF, and OAK. Hate unders in week 1, since all the defenses suck, but it is what it is. Also hate the BAL/DEN Over since Peyton can't throw a football anymore and the coaches have emphasized POUND THE ROCK but whatever, we'll see. Thanks for reading my thread; if you don't like it no one really cares. Enjoy your weekend guys.

I don't know what your spreadsheet numbers mean or how you came up with them, column headers are missing...

But at least you posted a bunch of picks, we'll see how you do. GL!

Again, I don't know shit about the NFL except that athletic black people run around and gamblers lose a lot of money to watch them do it.
