Still less than 60%.......only about 58.5%.

During Baseball, in the Boston Herald they list the odds and then at the bottom for both AL and NL they bold "best" with their top pick and it's always some huge chalk that goes down in flames.

58.5 % betting EVERY NFL game is incredible.

The guy who does the NFL totals in the NY Daily News is right with him. His picks come out every Friday.

Really bad.

I bet the guy was half decent last year though...I wonder if there's any way to find his record from 2005...maybe I'll write him.

When I was very fortunate to capture the WOLRD CHAMPIONSHIP of NFL handicapping title in Vegas a few years ago picking EVERY NFL regular season game and 10 playoff games, hit 61% for the year....................one other guy(KEN WHITE) also hit over 60%.

Pops69 has been dpoing this for a while. Check this site out...

The kid takes the picks of all the analysts from a bunch of different papers and websites and puts them into a weekly spreadsheet. on the left are the guys picks straight up, on the right of the sheet are the ATS picks.

Pops and the guys in his CFB thread have been taking the 3 analysts with the lowest winning % on the year and looking for the games where all 3 of them are on the same side...then they fade that. I'm pretty sure they are well over 60% on the year with these fades.

How did he do this week?

Doug · Dec 31, 2006

local newspaper has like 6 guys putting up picks every week, I think the last time any of the 6 had a winning record was about 1842. I can't find the picks on their website, but didn't look that hard either ( New Haen Register).
