For those who don't know me, I'm new to forums, but far from new to the game. Been around handicapping since 04. My system is very detailed and takes a lot of stats and history into account that others do not contemplate.
My overall picks since 04 are around 65% and my system, which is a labby/chase original system has hit about 95% since 04.
**As always, picks are for informational purposes. Use your discretion.**
Also, feel free to check out my posts in the CFB handicapping forum. I'm 16-3 overall on the year and my system is undefeated. Had some good ones this week with Marshall, Troy, Gardner-Webb, Bama, and Florida.
Did lose a few though for first time this season.
Okay, only two games fit my system for the early slate.
Detroit @ Chicago -6.5
This is a homerun, and my strongest play of the day. My lock is Chicago to cover.
Oakland @ Tenn -6.5
This is not as strong as the above game, nonetheless it is very strong compared to any other NFL game on the schedule besides the Chicago game. My system has Tenn to cover this one.
My system had me teetering on ATL-Pitt, but I decided to stay away. The system gave me too many inconsistencies. When I pick games, I take so much information, lines, stats, and historical data into account, that if my system still doesn't spit out a confident pick after all that, I stay away. And ATL-Pitt was too inconsistent.
My system basically laughed at me in the Chicago pick by telling me it is a no-brainer.
With the Tennessee pick, every output of my system had Tenn covering except for one instance. That's why it is not as much a lock to me as Chicago.
However, like I said, it beat out every other game.
For the record, I'm 1-0 on NFL for the season with New Orleans -4.5.
