We are heading into week 12 of the Westgate NFL Contest and I sit at 30-25 or 54.5% after slipping last week going 1-4. My first bad week in the contest as I had been sitting around 60% the entire contest. Now I need a monster run heading into the final weeks of the contest.
In College Football we went 4-3 in a busy week. Bringing my Season record to 27-19-1 or a solid 58.69%.
In the NFL last week has a busy week and slipped there going 2-4. That brings my season record in the NFL to date to 11-12. A bit out of the ordinary for me in the NFL, but it could be a lot worse:)
In the all spread contest where you pick every game against the spread, I sit at 92-71 or 56.4%. Interestingly I am doing better this season picking every game against the spread then I am doing just picking 5 games in the Westgate contest:) Figure that one out. I send out all my picks against the spread in this contest to subscribers along with a detailed breakdown of each game.
My picks in the Westgate NFL SuperContest for this week are:
Jets +3
Tampa +4.5
Wash +3.5
Jacksonville +3.5
Phil +2
The Westgate top 5 rebounded last week going 4-1 and now sits at 26-27-2
The Top 5 this week are:
Green Bay
Seattle
Baltimore
Jets
Dallas
I am with them on the Jets, and not fading any of the top 5 this week. I am finding that the contest is not as public betting oriented as in the past. More “sharps” are now involved with probably accounts for their better performance than in the past.
The Bottom 5 this week is:
Indy
Houston
Jacksonville
Pitt
Washington
I am on 2 of the bottom 5 this week.
So, I need at least a 4-1 day to get back on track, of course, 5-0 would be much better:)
A lot going on in the political arena. The House intelligence committee finished up. It now goes to the Judiciary Committee when the House gets back in session. From there most likely to the House floor for a vote. I am not sure they have the votes. I know the odds still are that impeachment is likely, but, public opinion has turned against them sharply. They are in a box as I see it. But it is one of their own makings at this point.
Then it would go to the Senate, who has indicated that Schiff, the Whistleblower and both Bidens will be called as witness’. I am not sure what will happen. The Senate is known for its underwhelming work. But the threat of it is more of what is probably happening.
Let’s look at the political odds this morning and see if any have changed:
Trump impeached by the end of 2019: 47/53 +3 Pts
Trump impeached by the end of his 1st term: 81/19 +1 Pt ( I expect this to happen)
Senate convicts Trump in 1st Term: 13/87 -3 Pts (This is the one to watch) A new low by the way.
Trump to get the Republican nomination: 81/19 +1 Pt (Another one to watch)
U.S. Presidential winner:
Trump: 42/58 No Change
Warren: 14/86 No Change
Biden: 14/76 No Change
Buttigieg 13/86 No Change
Sanders 10/90 No Change
Bloomberg 8/92 + 2 Pts
Clinton 4/97 No Change
Giuliani will not be indicted before 12/31/20 40/60 -4 Pts I laid 38/62
I plan on selling This wager with a 10% to 20% gain after the IG report hits or the Durham report hits. That should send this higher.
The only significant change I can see is that the chances of conviction in the Senate keep making new lows. The chance of impeachment, however, stays around 4 to 1.
There will be a lot happening between now and Dec 9th when the IG report hits. The spin is hot and heavy. With leaks every day, most fake news. My suggesting is to ignore the spin and just wait for the report. There is just too much misinformation out there right now to get a good grasp of what is coming. My guess, however, is it is going to be very bad for the intelligence community. And with Durham and his team, along with a grand jury in place, I expect indictments. Durham is the guy you bring in when you are dead serious. We will see:)
It’s still not too late to join us as we are in the middle stages of the NFL and College football with college hoops just beginning. In addition, the NBA first-half wagers have been on fire, something like a 6-0 run:) All subscriptions have a 3-day free trial.
