CLEVELAND – “Picks With Nick” continues with Week 8 already of the NFL season. We’ve been red-hot selecting games against the spread (ATS) and it always helps when we keep it short and sweet for you. All of our selections are for entertainment purposes only. Let’s dive in!
A quick glance at our numbers on the season against the Vegas spread:
CFB: 21-17-1 (55%)
NFL: 21-12-1 (64%)
Total: 42-29-2 (59%)
Our picks are made against Las Vegas oddsmakers merely helping create football interactions on Facebook and Twitter, as well as online and on-air content for Newsradio WTAM 1100 and WTAM.com.
Similar to the last two seasons, our goal is to win 53% of our picks against the spread. Las Vegas sports books, give us 11/10 odds or -110, so in order to break even in picking games against the spread (ATS) we must win 52.4% of the games we select. Winning 58% of picks ATS would place you among the most elite sports handicappers in the world. We’ll shoot for somewhere between 53% - 58% again this season.
We are again keeping our college and NFL selections separate, but we will update the results from both weekly with full transparency, seeing how we stack up against Las Vegas oddsmakers. We are coming off back-to-back winning seasons in which we hit 54% ATS in college football and the NFL combined in 2016 and 56% in both combined last season in 2017. So far, in college and the NFL combined, we are hitting 59% ATS.
