In one word: NotTooShabby. Placing a $100 bet on each of my picks would’ve netted you $441 in pure profit, turning $800 into $1,141. That’s a 55.23% ROI!
My lock of the week Bears didn’t have much trouble handling the underdog Rams, though such terrible odds almost make this bet not worth placing. Still, a win’s a win, and I’ll take the $20 profit anyday. Also, keep in mind that strong picks with bad odds can still be used in parlays.
Note: Winners certainly exceeded the losers, and overall I went 10-4 (7-1 acutal bets). Three of my four losing bets were excluded from moneyline odds, and therefore no-bets, however, so were three other winning bets.
Monday’s Outlook: At +165 Moneyline for Baltimore, the odds aren’t great to bet against the favorites in terms of value. Still, I’m going with the Ravens on this one. Honestly, I think Green Bay has the best chance to win this game, but my strong performance over the weekend gives us an opporatunity to gamble a little. The stats are tough to ignore, but I think the Ravens will fight hard to keep their winning record. Even though the Ravens are only +165, the risk/reward still points towards them. Look for the Ravens to score early, Packers will even it up or maybe even take the lead in the 2nd quareter. But the final half will be owned by the Ravens. Look for both teams to have a solid time-of-posession, but a relatively low-scoring game overall. If you followed my picks, and actually profited >$400, it’s worth the bet. If you’re only borderline, or worse in the red, save your money and wait till next week.
