2017 NFL Week 16 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?

A brief review of week 15. How did we do? 10-6, not bad and hoping to close out the regular season on a high note.


Our consistency or lack thereof can be witnessed in weeks where we picked above .500 , at .500, or worse yet sub .500.  At 9-2-4 respectively for all games and our lox, YTD we have "chosen wisely", at .500 or better 73% of the time.

Shaking our head in utter disbelief while Moving West... 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....
