2019 NFL Wild Card Weekend Picks Against The Spread
Drum roll please, once again, rather than Thursday's in the Loo, it's time for NFL Football picks in the toilet.... putting that "picking your seat" or "content down loading time" to good use?
Our 2 year (2017 and 2018) total 298-226-10 in picking ALL 534 NFL games against the spread surpasses all "credentialed" experts, touts, pundits, analysts, etc. and its not even remotely close. Our 2017 season retrospective of George Plimpton in Paper Lion seems apropos? For a recap of our award winning 2017 and 2018 ATS records click here. Moving West...
We follow up our penitent rebound with fair to Midlin...

BTW - Amongst experts a dead heat for #1 with Case Keefer (Las Vegas Sun) picking all 256 games @ 138-114-4; Kevin Sherrington (Dallas Morning News) @ 138-113-5. Amongst fans, 138 wins earned one no better than #30 or thirtieth place. No competition as OFFPAPMAN finished 8+ games ahead of 2nd place @ 157-93-6.

Spread info courtesy of VegasInsider, OddsShark, Covers, and additional matchup info Betonline. 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.
Amazingly close to what actually went down... way back on May 17, 2019, CG Technology posted opening betting spreads on weeks 1-16. Weekly "advance" lines from the Westgate can be found here and here, and weekly look ahead's from Fairway Jay.
For excellent insight, we recommend referring to Case Keefer at the Las Vegas Sun, Jamey Eisenberg at CBS, and the Miami Herald's Greg Cote, as from our experience they might just know a little sumpin, sumpin.
