2018 NFL Picks Week 17

Another forgettable week picking ATS, as I finished 4-10-2. I did finish 10-6 straight up for the second consecutive week, at least. I would need to finish 15-1 both straight up and ATS to reach my goal of 66%/50% respectively. Indy barely pulled it out over NYG for my PotW, and I improve to 11-3 this year thanks to 2 missed weeks. Upsets were 0-1 straight up (18-6 overall), and 3-3 ATS (40-31 overall).

4 of my incorrect picks in both formats were upsets, and of course the one game I picked as an upset in both formats was wrong. Too bad for me, on to Week 17 with all the games that matter being played after 4:25pm:

Forgettable Week 15, so I won't dwell on it. I went a respectful 10-6 straight up, but an abysmal 4-11-1 ATS. Upsets I was 1-1/1-3; now 18-5/37-28 on the season. The Rams (thankfully) lost as my PotW to drop me to 10-3 this year.

Recap of my losses? No thanks, on to Week 16:

2018 NFL Picks Week 15

Week 14 was very disappointing, as I picked very average. I finished 8-8 straight up and 7-9 ATS, which dipped me to a game under .500 ATS. My only 2 straight upset picks were incorrect, as I fall to 17-14 for the season. I faired better picking upsets ATS, going 2-3 to bring my total to 36-25 on the year. I forgot to pick a Pick of the Week again, so I remain at 10-2 (though I likely would have picked the Chargers).

There were 7 games in which I incorrectly picked both straight up and ATS. 5 of those were upsets, and of course the 2 upsets I picked were not among them (PHI, WAS). Buffalo was unable to win as home favorites over the New York Jets, NE was upset again in MIA, the 49ers held off the Broncos at home, Oakland prevailed over Pittsburgh, and the Chicago Bears completely shut down the Los Angeles Rams.

On to Week 15, with 2 Saturday games on the slate:

Week 13 was so-so, as I finished 10-6 straight up and 8-8 ATS. There were 6 upsets out of the 16 games, but at least my 2 picks were correct. I improve to 17-12 straight up in upsets, and 34-22-2 ATS after going 3-2. Seattle easily won as my Pick of the Week, as I reach 10-2 on the year.

Biggest shocker of the week was New Orleans losing at home to Dallas, followed by Green Bay losing to Arizona at home. The Bears couldn't beat the Giants as road favorites, but the Rams could at the Lions despite not covering the 10 point spread. Speaking of 10 point spreads, the Jets were able to cover at the Titans, and Seattle covered against the 49ers.

On to Week 14!
