How did we do? After going 7-9 last week with a bad case of floppy pick, this week we firmed up and stayed the course while going 11-5. Two pushes are like kissing your sister. More annoying?  Not now, Nattering another day.

Shall we continue to utilize a double headed wooden nickel in making our selections? Perhaps...  That's life, that's what all the bookies say, you're ridin high pre game, shot down by late Sunday....

Adjusting for pushes (see YTD below), subtract our 6 pushes (2 on lox) from 123, with a record of 117-85-6; lox at 41-25-2, and 3 weeks or 48 games to go...

we are still the #1 % winner on the web (cherry picking games ATS - Lox and Bagels), and #1 on the web picking all NFL games ATS.

Hangin by a thread... 2 ahead of #2 @ 115 Albert 
Breer Sports Illustrated's MMQB, 3 up on #3 @ 114 Yahoo's Frank Schwab and 5 up on #4 @ 112 Tom Mantzouranis MMQB.


Comes To Shove
On a push you get your money back. Depending on the book, a push can either completely kill or reduce the payout on parlays and teasers. Hence, we count not losing as a win, however books and NFLPickWatch do not.  

YTD 6 pushes, 2 involving locks.
Wk3 NY 24 @ 27 PHI -3 LOCK
Wk4 WAS +9 20 @ 29 KC LOCK
Wk7 NYJ 28 @ 31 MIA -3
Wk9 BAL 20 @ 23 TEN -3
Wk14 DET 24 @ 21 TB +3
Wk14 GB 27 @ 21 CLE +6
