In an unexpected turn of events, my performance against the spread surpassed my accuracy in picking games outright last week.
The multitude of upsets and underdogs covering contributed to this unusual outcome. While I predicted many of those underdogs to cover, I didn’t necessarily foresee them winning. Consequently, I posted a 10-4-1 record against the spread and an 8-7 record straight up for the week. This brings my season against the spread record to 101-98-9 and my straight-up record to 124-84-0.
With a full slate of 16 games this week, the challenge of making accurate predictions intensifies. However, I’m optimistic about building on last week’s success against the spread. Let’s maintain the momentum.
This will be Easton Stick against Aiden O’Connell. Oh, boy. Stick will be playing for the injured Justin Herbert, while O’Connell is coming off a game where his team was shut out. This won’t be pretty to watch. But I think the Raiders will find a way to win an ugly game. In an unexpected turn
The Bengals have secured two consecutive wins, propelling them back into the playoff race with Jake Browning at the helm. On the flip side, the Vikings’ 3-0 victory over the Raiders last week underscored concerns about their offense. Despite Nick Mullens taking the starting role this week, replacing Joshua Dobbs, it is anticipated that the offensive struggles will persist.
In this scenario, it is predicted that Jake Browning will deliver a strong performance, guiding the Bengals to a third consecutive victory. The Bengals’ momentum, coupled with concerns surrounding the Vikings’ offensive output, suggests a favorable outcome for Cincinnati in the upcoming matchup.
