Our picks went 1-1-1 last week, with our OVER 44 in New Orleans a no-doubter and our Cincinnati (+8) push a product of getting less than the best of the number on Thursday morning. We are now 21-17-1 on the season and 114-98-11 (53.8%) over the history of this column. We are getting an average of 0.24 points of closing-line value on picks against the spread, and 0.13 points on totals. As usual, we will run through the entire week of games on the PFF Forecast, which drops on Thursday and Monday mornings.
This week’s slate is so bad the NFL had to flex Duck Hodges into primetime.
