    I don't care, I'm still picking KC in my weekly picks league. I rode them last week and it worked out!

    Also, does your system take into account that NE/TB is essentially a neutral-site game? Not that I'm tempted to pick TB, mind you...

  2. Brian Burke says:

    Forgot about the London game. That would be more like .88/.12 in favor of NE due to the neutral site. Not that it matters very much.

    Hi Brian,

    I was somewhat put off by your comments about the Den @ SD game. You really made yourself sound like a journalist there - results oriented nonsense :)

    I hope you know what I mean!

    Otherwise much <3

  4. Lanny Nugen says:

    Yeah Brian,
    I hope you would clarify your comments about Denver @ SD because it doesn't make sense to me. Your quote specifically

    "Except for some generally (unrepeatable special teams plays, it's likely the Charger would have won"

    How? Take both team special teams' scores out of the total score, Denver still won 20-16.

    I use computer models to disect the Outright chance of a Team Victory, then the Money Line odds and payout which then leads to spread valuations.

    DUKE +7

    I'm glad I found your site. I also have a statistical model that I have been playing. I will post my picks on Thursday to see how I compete with your picks. My picks are ATS(against the spread). My guess is that we will have very similar picks due to the statistical nature of our models.
