Hello again! The only prerequisite to be on this list is to love football and join me on this exciting mission to be the best ever at picking games, thus showing the extreme value of mental performance and sports psychology! My research and ongoing picks are slowly but surely proving how valuable the mental game is to success, since I am using a modification of the MPI to make these picks and it is going very well.
The overall record against the spread is now 71-52-4 (58%, +1411).
Last week, we made 5 picks and got them all right. We hit correctly on the Bengals, 49ers, Cardinals, Steelers, and Texans with no misses. This will happen statistically less than 1% of the time and is analagous to saying you are going to flip 5 heads in a row, and then doing so. It was a special week for sure.
On to week 7 where there are 4 solid picks according to the data:
(1) On Thursday night, take the Broncos +3.5 home against the Chiefs (Heritage, -118)
(2) On Sunday, take the Texans +1 away against the Colts (Heritage, -108).
(3) Also on Sunday, take the Dolphins +17 away against the Bills (Heritage, -108).
(4) On Monday night, take the Patriots -9 away against the Jets (Heritage, -108).
That is 4 picks for week 7 and includes one favorite and three underdogs, and one home team and three away teams. It's a nice mix of games!
In review, we are now 71-52-4 overall. While this is an absolutely astrounding record, we are only 122 games in, so there is a long way to go to crown mental skills and the MPI the champion ... but we are well on the way! At 58% success, when the vast majority of handicappers without the MPI get around 50% (it's a coin flip for most), we are slowly but surely establishing this monster pick machine as dominant.
Good Luck and enjoy the games this week!
