2017 NFL Week 8 Picks Against The Spread

Rather than Thursday's in the Loo, it's time for NFL Football picks in the toilet.... putting that content down loading time to good use?

RESULTS Week 7 Picks - Our pick is the team with the number, winners highlighted. A push is a win.


KC -2.5 30 @ 31 OAK LOCK
TEN -5.5 12 @ 9 CLE
JAX -3 27 @ 0 IND
CIN +7 14 @ 29 PIT
BAL 16 @ 24 MIN -3

DEN +1.5 0 @ 21 LAC
ATL +4 7 @ 23 NE LOCK
WAS +6.5 24 @ 34 PHI

How did we do? Once again, as gravity slowly pulls us down the drain we sucked at 6-9. Four straight weeks of wallowing in the mire of mediocrity, truly an exercise in futility.


That's life, that's what all the bookies say, you're ridin high pre kickoff, shot down by late Sunday.... 


Week 1: 13-2 = 87% - Locks 4-0 = 100%

Week 2: 10-6 = 63% - Locks 5-1 =  83%
Week 3:  8-8 =  50% - Locks 2-4 =  33%
Week 4:  8-8 =  50% - Locks 5-0 = 100%
Week 5:  6-8 =  43% - Locks 2-3 =  40%
Week 6:  7-7 =  50% - Locks 1-3 =  25%
Week 7:  6-9 =  40% - Locks 2-3 =  40%

YTD:    58-48 = 55% - Locks 21-14 = 60%


Amazingly, still #1 on the web (cherry picking games - LOCKS).  
Despite 5 horrible week's, capped by our worst week YTD, tied at #3 on the web (picking all games ATS). With 58 correct we are only 1 game back of 2nd, and 5 games behind the leader.


Week 8 Picks - Our pick is the team with the number. As always, I reserve the right to take the advance or opening line, and make changes well in advance of kickoffs.


Still two perfect teams, Phony Niners and Brown Stains By The Lake.
