2018 NFL Week 15 Picks Against The Spread

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

Last week, after getting "Back On The Block" and breathing down the leaders neck, we managed to flip from 11-5 to 5-11?

Much like the road favorite Reelers in Chokeland and M.I.A. Minutemen losing outright, or the Bolts vs the Gals, all three of which we picked to cover a big number, a case of not taking care of business?  Perhaps and moving West...

We checked Pickwatch and found Boston Globes Ben Volin at 117-84-7 and CBS Jamey Eisenberg at 116-87-5, to be neck and neck.  Upon further review....

As per the Boston Globe and the picks Ben posted, and line he picked against, Mr. Volin is 112-89-7, a (-) FIVE game difference?  This is why we don't trust 3rd party sites.

Rather than rely upon an arbitrary line, Mr. Volin picks against a published line just like we do. We trust his count and not the arbitrary one.  Upon further review...

After 14 weeks and 208 games, as per CBS and the picks Mr. Eisenberg posted, and the line he picked against, Jamey is the leader at 116-87-5.  Moving West...

Just when we thought we knew something, where in the world are we?  After whittling (in four short weeks) a 13 game deficit down to 2... 

with 3 weeks and 48 games to go, we earned (the hard way) staring up from 6 games back at 110-96-2. This weeks theme? What we need to be doing a better job of...



Apropos we think.  Shaking our head in utter disbelief... 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.... or


Taking care of business every day, Taking care of business every way....

Although the line differs on occasion from the links above, try Jeff Sherman's Twitter feed, as the manager of the Westgate Super Book, he might just know a little sumpin.


As opposed to actual early opening lines, "look ahead" lines from the Westgate and FanDuel can also be found at The Lines, while a complete list of 2018 look aheads can be found at the Whale Capper.

For excellent insight, we recommend referring to Case Keefer at the Las Vegas Sun, as he knows a little sumpin, sumpin.
