NFL Week 7 Predictions
So a couple weeks ago I decided to change my approach with these picks, and did it in a very systematic way. All home, all road, all favorite, all underdog. I am still looking to add more criteria down the road, but for now, simple. Here are the game results from Week 6:
For the most part, it was pretty close to .500. The exception was the favorites, who were just 4-10 against the spread, compared to 7-6-1 the previous week. Road favorites were even worse, with just a 1-4 mark this week.
Here are the records, tracked both against the spread and straight-up:
We are starting to see some trends though! Against the spread, our best picks so far are underdogs (16-11-1), with home being 5-3-1 and road being 11-8. Holding up the rear are the home favorites, with just an 8-11 record.
When picking straight up, there has yet to be much established. Every tracked scenario is within 2 games of .500, with the exception of the favorites who are just 3 games over (15-12-1). That seems odd, as these picks are straight up, not against a spread. Anxious to see how this continues to evolve.
Here is what Week 7 is looking like:
Check back next week for the Week 7 results, as well as the overall records. Should be starting to see some more trends!
And as I said last week, if you have any ideas for things to track, let me know!
