NFL Thanksgiving Pick
Not much to be thankful for around here. Last week was 4-7, -3.6 units. The season record is 28-46, -17.9 units. I want to throw up before dinner. But I always make a pick on this day, so:
Seattle +1.5 at San Francisco
Seattle +1.5 at San Francisco

NFL Week 12 Picks
All is lost. Last week's 2-4, -2.3 unit performance is perfectly representative of this season. I will now pick every game I have the slightest lean toward, instead of just the "best" ones. I clearly don't know which ones are best, so I'm casting a wider net, and chasing after my losses. Please, please don't do this with real money.
Cleveland +3 at Atlanta, and under 48 points total
New England -6.5 vs. Detroit
Green Bay -8 at Minnesota
Jacksonville +14 at Indianapolis, and over 50 points total
Tampa Bay +6 at Chicago
Arizona +7 at Seattle
St. Louis +6 at San Diego
New York Giants +4 vs. Dallas
And a three-team, six-point teaser, pays 1.6 to 1:

NFL Week Ten Picks
Last week's 2-2, -0.2 units result feels like victory compared to my recent performance. Now 20-30, -9.8 units for the season, I'll have to take some big swings, starting this week.
Miami at Detroit under 44 points: These are two of the three best defenses in the league, in terms of points allowed. This total should be more like 40.
New Orleans -5 vs. San Francisco: The Saints are just too good at home, and the 49ers are on the verge of a tailspin that will send their coach to the University of Michigan.
Pittsburgh -3.5 at New York Jets: This line makes no sense, which should make me nervous. The fact that it doesn't should make you nervous. Nevertheless, that's the pick.
Lastly, a round-robin of three-team, six-point teasers. I'll take all four three-team combinations of the following four games.
Dallas -1.5 "at" Jacksonville (game in London)
Miami +8.5 at Detroit
Buffalo +7.5 vs. Kansas City
Tampa Bay +8.5 vs. Atlanta
